their cultures to take the u. k. government ministers say they feel deeply ashamed after a review reveals that thousands of rape victims don't see just this victim support group save. the findings are too little too late. no, i don't think an apology alone is enough to heal to her. the victim. survivors who have been so terribly let down on devastating floods. leave one person dead and 18 injured in. southern rushes, crimea, province of authorities, declare a state of emergency ah, wherever you are tuning in from around the globe today. welcome to moscow into the news our and our secret, the hub, your company, and you know, new america is celebrating its new june 10th holiday, a marking the end of slavery in 1865. but the supreme court has also just rule that
3:02 pm
force, child labor in africa, is not something us food giant are culpable for picking up enough. ilia petrov go question is slavery still something that troubles america today? well, here comes the answer from the president. remember, the moral stain, the terrible toll, the slavery took on the country and continues to take. so what's there to be done about that? as an athlete, you can take the knee and the name of black lives matter. as an activist, you can campaign for the reparations, for the ancestors of those who suffered or were killed as president, you can declare, june the 19th, or june pings as federal holiday. that's exactly what the president did earlier this week. as the supreme court, you know, what else happened at the same time? the u. s. supreme court ruled american food giants best play usa and car gill can't
3:03 pm
be food for child slavery. this ruling has disturbing implications for future victims of human rights abuses, seeking justice against businesses and us courts. the ruling also says a dangerous precedence, giving corporations impunity of a profiting from human rights abuses. it's an old and disturbing story that we've already reported on a group of african men demanded compensation from us corporations that get their cocoa in africa. they claimed they've been trafficked from one country to another as children, and forced to work as slaves and horrendous conditions on coca farms. the activist stores, sounding the alarm over the ivory coast, a fact to think of the country exports more cocoa than anyone else on the planet now providing about 2 thirds of the world's supply, which makes it very likely that the regular chocolate bar you eat taste of illegal
3:04 pm
child labor, but what if these accounts are fake? well, only recently the u. s. department of labor funded a report which found that the cocoa industry in west africa was exploiting $1600000.00 charged laborers. e slaves without going into too many legalistic details, the nation's highest court, pulled the brakes on the case pretty much because companies outside the us bear the responsibility for mass abuse. you might want to ask why not at least look into the case? well that's how things are, that's how the law works. the big businesses will probably keep repeating things like, or i'm 99 percent. sure they will. child labor is unacceptable. that is why we are working so hard to prevent it. cargoes work to keep child labor out of the cocoa supply chain isn't wavering. we do not tolerate the use of child labor in our operations or supply chains and we're working every day to prevent it expects even
3:05 pm
more emotional words from them, from the athlete. the activists and the president on june 13th, but those who have been following this particular case won't stand the hypocrisy. we are celebrate in the end of slavery, but american companies are still profiting off of slave labor. so it's up to you to celebrate or to reflect on the toll that joe biden mentioned. it needs to be illegal for american corporations to do business with anyone who uses child labor because they always say, well, they didn't work for us, it wasn't our farm. you can't blame us. this has to be tackled legislatively, other corporations to do great harm to people. they will, especially in the past year, they'll say black lives matter or someone will take a need. or they claim that they have an anti racist workplace when they don't. and this is one of many ways in which the u. s. is hypocritical on the issue
3:06 pm
of human rights by allowing corporations have carte blanche to practice all kinds of terrible things all over the world. but money talks, any big corporations, get the ear of politicians, so they're never held to account the way they should be. indigenous canadians have been given the right to use their traditional names on official documents. it's part of a government effort to atone for decades of force the simulation. we spoke to indigenous human rights activists. laura lay williams who told us that in no way makes up for the atrocities the state has committed. i've been trying to get my own individual name. but yeah, it hasn't happened yet. i was supposed to get when my mom passed away. but you know, in that moment it was just too hard for me. i had to leave my moms as or when the
3:07 pm
kids were taken to residential school. they actually were numbered. they, they had to go by numbers. just one small, small step that the government taking the government. oh, oh, much, you know, it was the government who made the decision to take the kids to take her languages to take their culture, to take her name, to try to kill our candidates genocide against their people. with the discovery of the 215 children class, they can't hide the truth any more. so i guess they're trying to make up for what they did by this is this wall wall step. you know, a lot of our language is, are actually dying. on monday, the canadian government and non stop in this name can be used in their original spelling for identity and immigration documents. that's 6 years after
3:08 pm
a report by the truth and reconciliation commission condemned so named cultural genocide at schools. on the move also comes after the grim discovery of hundreds of unmarked graves at the side of a former residential school. those institutions were a part of a country wide network aimed at simulating 1st nations children by removing them from their communities. 2 8 on. 8 8 the. 8 do you mean patients fear did you have was it wasn't you today? it was going to be the target, the victim. you know, you weren't going to have to suffer any form of humiliation. he learned to cry anymore. get harder. and yet you learn to shut down. oh, the, i couldn't talk
3:09 pm
a word of english. i talked cree and i was abused for that hit and made to try to talk english. i lost my language. they threatened us with a strapping. you spoke it within a year, i lost all of it. ah. 8 i used to him, i tried to trying a night. 2 the principal to take him to the hospital. he didn't after about 2 weeks, my brother was in so much pain. he was going out of his mind. i pleaded with the principal for days to take him to the doctor. ah, to sexually take advantage of me and abuse me? not one. not too many, many people for a very long time until i was 16. i held everything in and didn't tell anybody for 20 years. laura les williams again said little s changed with indigenous people still exposed to what she says is systemic racism in canada. this one school has
3:10 pm
definitely caught a lot of attention around the world. there's so many vision is leaders that packed up about this i find when we we speak up about there, we have to repeat herself over and over and over again. and it gets tiring. it's hard. we're grateful that these children are being bound. we always knew that they were there, and it's not just those children. so this is yolanda, can i start to see grades there, so much systemic racism against ash del to be and this is exactly why are women and girls are indigenous women and girls are going to be murdered at a high rate, you know, as an in business woman, we're still at the bottom here in canada,
3:11 pm
and these are our own lands. solar systemic racism has to stop. british government ministers have described a decline and raped conviction. rates says shameful. after a review, fall in thousands of victims have been denied. justice officials have apologize, but activists say that's not enough and its own usual. so government to express this kind of shame and admit and recognize the deep failings in the criminal justice system. but no, i don't think an apology alone is enough to heal the hurt of the victims and survivors who have been so terribly let down. and i think that, you know, the real proof of the pudding will be in the eating, you know, the real difference. and survivors will come if and when the proper measures are taken to improve the situation for the future. the long awaited review revealed
3:12 pm
more than half of rape victims drop. there are cases and only one and a half percent of them see either suspected tucker charged. the prob, blamed intrusive police questioning on an excessively long court process. well, the government's now introduced a score card system to assess the speed with which court cases get to court and whether victims are satisfied with the i come know the fresh results we published by december. the whole issues been criticized though by many who say it miss simply lead to quote, as being filled and potentially innocent mailed, defendants being prosecuted. katie russell, again, a short term measures are not going to solve the issue of the victims, and survivors are likely to feel quite angry actually is if an apology is too little too late, because for them, of course, they haven't got criminal justice. they can't potentially been re traumatized by the system. we know we're talking about a long term systemic structural issue,
3:13 pm
a wholesale issue so, so small individual measures aren't going to, on their own. be able to so situation. nobody doubts that very, very many lives have been seriously impacted negatively, impacted by sexual violence and abuse in recent years. and in this apology, and this recognition, this review comes after very many years of campaigning. the russian region of crimea has declared a state of emergency amid severe flooding, which is left at least one person dead and 18 others injured. almost 2000 people have been evacuated from their homes. ortiz eager shit. dollar reports, though, from crimea. despite all efforts to the city of y'all, a taking baby steps towards containing the consequences of the flood. there's only so much that can be done. but having said that, the progress is still evidence. yes, this is supposed to be
3:14 pm
a street. yes. houses up the street. people can't live in anymore, but literally hours ago, rather a couple of days ago cause we're floating here as if they were both. but the situation here is critical. the governor of the crime in peninsula has been in this city throughout the whole day. this is how he has described the situation here and the efforts that the government is taking to contain the consequences of the flood to grow up for peace care. the situation is disastrous in many homes. those that are on the low lambs have been flooded by water from almost the entire city of touch. and unfortunately, the water is still up to the waist. for now, our goal is to help everyone so that no one is left to faces crisis alone. the situation is very serious, both emergency ministry workers and the army right now helping out, taking part in relief efforts. but the situation is made even worse by the fact
3:15 pm
that this city and this region, it has lately suffered from a shortage of clean water of drinkable possible water. and this is how the ukrainian side coleman said. this is what they had to say one, this city was overcome by a downpour night. sure. you know that the crime in peninsula has been asking for water for a very long time. and there's so much water there today that they don't even know what to do. with it and yesterday encouraged him today in yalta. unfortunately, this happened there. the lord god gave them too much water in one goal. yeah, some bitter sack isn't here at the expense of the people that tragedy him. they, by the way, have been telling me that they don't remember anything of this scale, not even close by the way. compare to what is happening right now and the city is also bracing for more just in case more rain is to come. and the legal raven fronts ended in horror on friday night to revolution,
3:16 pm
reportedly held their hands partially blowing up when the picked up police stung grenades as officer swift in on the curfew a defying party. the . 7 the event took place in the field in northwest france with some 1500 people in attendance. police fire, tear gas, while party going through and missiles on petrol bombs, several officers sustained injuries, authority, say an investigation is under way into what happened. well, despite a 7 hour long operation to disperse the crime, there were still reports of police flushes on saturday morning with a die hard group of revelers, apparently still partying in the afternoon. so ahead this hour, a u. s. senate prob concludes that the f b, i had advanced warning of the capital held riots back in january, but failed to are not serene. more few,
3:17 pm
after the bring the ah, with me ah ah, i use
3:18 pm
we're going to talk a lot about wild quino energy and also use volcanoes as a metaphor to elucidate so many of the big trends happening in geo politics. fine in the news. ah. ok. let's start the program by can central moscow were a major fire has now been put. it hadn't range for several hours at a pyrotechnics warehouse and several exclusions were heard earlier on saturday. at least 4 people are injured than the place which is believed to have been caused by electrical short circuit saskia killer without the same for us was a huge plume of smoke,
3:19 pm
seemingly emanating from the center of moscow the just a couple of 100 meters away from loosen key station, which is one of the biggest se gym in the capital around 81000 seats. that was a conflicting report as to what was actually happening. once all said that it was a warehouse that caught fire from a firewall shop nearby. but then it turns out that it was indeed a pi were tech next warehouse with apparently 15 tons of inflammable. but then that fire jumped on to the neighboring buildings to we also didn't really understand how serious, serious it was until the emergency status that they lifted the danger rating from 2 to 3, which is actually the maximum. what i can tell you is from the time to i've been here, i can see that all the way down. you can see all the way down. we've got 5 runs and we've got police cars, the stretching, also not direction towards the bridge, but there are also
3:20 pm
a number of ambulances. the confirmed reports from the mayor's office, i believe saying that 4 people about 3 firemen and one employee of the warehouse have been injured. they of course, immediately the medical personnel responded to that the site has apparently been contained. we are looking at around 500 square meters. at least 3 helicopters have been saw putting over had that come, you can see that that bringing water to try and dump and the flames. and they don't look like a lot, but i'll tell you i was standing about they make a head of a noise, but they also carry around 5 tons of water. so they have been sought calling for a couple of hours now, doing everything that they can to bring those flames down. what i'll also say is that the smoke is actually behind these trees to my left. you can't see it. they've done considerable make considerable progress since i've been here. but when i 1st arrived at the scene, it was honestly blowing every all the way down to the street level. and it was such a strong smell. i was standing that was basically and gulped in it almost felt
3:21 pm
a bit like i was in the middle of a san so i could feel it in my hat and in my clothes, this mobiles also quite specific. it wasn't like the smell of a bomb thought you could tell that there was also the smell that you got from spot clothes. you could tell, but that was something from the fireworks. so that's the way it's looking at the moment. still a lot of activity out the site more and more information coming out, but i can tell you that they pushed everyone back, but there was a crowd behind the camera that still gathering, still, taking photo people, stopping, trying to get home at the moment. everything is still shut off, the emergency service is watching the fire and all the job seeks watching the toil asleep so that people are just stepping back and letting all these people do that walk right now u. s. police, along with the f b, i apparently had prior warning of the capital rights in january, but failed to take preemptive action. that's the dumbing conclusion or best sellers inquiry, scale up and takes us through its been 6 months spent,
3:22 pm
a mob storm the u. s. capital on january 6th, and while the investigation is ongoing, some politicians say they want answers and they have some interesting ways of saying it. and i certainly hope that our premier law enforcement organization is not actually working to violate federal law. so why bring the f b i into this? well, there's a theory floating around that the f b, i infiltrated the protesters and basically arranged the whole thing and then shifted the blame on to donald trump and his supporters. is there any possible truth in this? so let's dig deeper, it's certainly worth finding out why this has become a popular explanation of events. earlier this week, the u. s. senate just published a big report on the riots. here is some of what they found. need of the f b. i know the u. s. department of homeland security deemed online posts calling for violence of the capital is credible in testimony before the committee's representatives from both agencies noted that much of the rhetoric online prior to
3:23 pm
january. the 6th with 1st amendments, protected speech of limited credibility and acknowledge areas for improvement. in handling and dissemination of threats, information from social media and online message boards to enhance law enforcement and intelligence agencies abilities to counter the threats. now we find out they did indeed have lots of information. they just didn't think it was relevant. the report goes on the united states, capital police, again, gathering information about the events plan for jenny, the 6 in mid december 2020, through open source collection tips from the public and other sources. the u. s. c . p. intelligence and in the agency coordination division. knew about social media posts calling for violence of the capital on july, the 6th, including a plot to breech the capital, the online sharing of maps of the capital complex, this tunnel systems, and other specific threats of violence. yet the i, c, d, did not convey the full scope of known information to us. c, p, leadership rank and file offices or law enforcement partners. so the secret service and police intelligence were aware of
3:24 pm
a possible but did not do anything and did not share this information. how could one be aware of the fact that a group of people was planning on storming the u. s. capital building and do nothing. looks like this report raises more questions than answers. kaleb mop and r t new york. around the top judge abraham mariah easy has wilmont countries presidential election with a residing 62 percent of the vote. after being congratulated by the outgoing leader, the new president elect pledge to earn the people stripped out, trying to casually with the corporation of mr. ro, honie, and all members of the government, i will use the pinions, experienced, and reports of our esteemed ministers. i thank god for the people's trust and i hope i can justify to the people's confidence votes and kindness. you are my term enough to raise he who has served until now as chief justice of around guarded almost 18000000 votes. 15000000 more than his closest rival. he will officially
3:25 pm
take office in august to kill unless side mirandi expects the new leader to take a firm approach to negotiations with western powers. i see is a popular person in iran. he's been leading in the polls for many months now, especially since the current administration is very unpopular. partially because it's been given a fate, has given it a bad hand with the maximum pressure campaign of trump and bite in and the corona virus. but this is seen as an anti corruption figure, and he's also seen is very clean. and so his, his popularity has gone up and the americans monitor this. so they wanted to do a deal before a new government came into place because they thought he would be, he would take a more firm approach. but the iranian negotiators have been steadfast. they've been firms. the iranians don't want anything extraordinary. they simply want the americans to abide in full by their,
3:26 pm
by their side of the bargain. and in response to the iranians would do the same. but it's american arrogance. the berlin sell insurance past the solar rag requiring the installation of solar power panels on the roofs of buildings. the law. busy applies to all new t wellings, as well as existing ones in need of a roof renovation. the german capital is aiming to satisfy a quarter of its electricity needs through solar power by 2050. the new bill takes effect in 20. $23.00 includes hefty penalties for violations, but it's phase the barrage of criticism from construction firms. the present law will act as a brake, especially in the field for innovation. many home owners will think twice about where the roof renovation is actually necessary, as they will be left with additional costs of berlin's ruling. left wing coalition sais the law. busy will take a big step towards climate neutrality. they emphasize this sort of rock will also
3:27 pm
create future proof jobs, especially in the areas of plumbing and craft. we gauge reaction on the streets of berlin. i'm not going to it's a good way to help protect the climate and if we can use our roof services to do that, it's a good idea. you can use them yourself to reduce your own electricity bill. personally, i'm against it because i don't support the permanent regulations related to the environment and nicole politics and not ready to pay more as long as they're a new regulations connected to green and necco politics in germany. we should be getting some money initially, but i think eventually we will be better off by leasing enough future. maybe they should, they should be solving assistance from government. people that have previous that baby died. that money would be nice if all rooftop solar panels we would produce much more energy with them. it would be great. it will pay off $1.00 day in 10 or
3:28 pm
15 years. investments will be recruit, which is a good thing. in principle, i support the idea, but i do. politicians are always coming up with things that hardly make any sense why heard el salvador made bitcoin legal tender and what impact will it help on the cyber currency going forward, max and stacy have this say on next in the cash report. the one that makes no sense, you know, board is blind to nationalities as emerge. we don't have authority, we go to the back scene, the whole world leads to take action and to be ready, people are judge, you know, come crisis,
3:29 pm
we can do better. we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way, but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is paid for the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are together now, always be polite, never engage with an aggravated or confrontational office. don't get into any conversation to start answering questions. just ask for an attorney. to survive in interrogation. you've gotta be ready. you're definitely don't want to be going to trial in a jump. so one cups,
3:30 pm
you're more likely to walk free. if you're rich and guilty, you are. if you're poor, you got 2 eyes and 2 ears and one mouth. so you should be seen in here and a whole lot more than you're saying if you don't take that advice, usually going to date yourself a whole the imax kaiser. this is the kaiser report. we're going to talk a lot about volcano energy and also use volcanoes as a metaphor to elucidate so many of the big trends happening in geo politics in the finance, stacy? well, there volcanic eruption is happening in the mind shift that is happening. and the mind shift that is under.
