their cultures to take our name. u. k. government ministers save a feel deeply ashamed after a review reveals that thousands of rape victims don't see justice, victim support group say the findings are too little too late. no, i don't. the apology alone is enough to heal the heads of the victims. survivors who have been so terribly let down and devastating floods leave one person dead and 18 injured in. southern rushes, crimea, province of authorities, declare a state of emergency ah, from moscow to the world. this is ortiz pleasure that joining us for your world news update this our, our top story america is celebrating its new june 18th holiday marking the end of slavery in 1865. but the supreme court has also just rule that force,

child labor in africa, is not something u. s. food giant, or culpable for elia. katrinka takes up the story. 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 continued 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, dest play, usa, and car gill,

can't be sued for child slavery. this ruling has disturbing implications for future victims of human rights abuses, seeking justice against businesses in u. s. cords. the ruling also sets a dangerous precedent, given corporations. impunity for 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 activists are sounding the alarm over the ivory coast. in 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 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 isn't acceptable. 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

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 of human rights by allowing corporations have carte blanche to practice all kinds of terrible things all over the world. but money talks and the big corporations get the ear of politicians. so they're never held to account the way they should be. indigenous committee and something given the right to use their traditional names or no official documents. it's part of a government effort to atone for decades of forced assimilation. we spoke to indigenous human rights activists. laura lee williams, who told us it in no way makes up for the atrocities this state has committed. i've been trying to get my own inventions 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

kids were taken to residential school. they actually were numbered. they, they had to go by numbers just why a 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 her 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. but this is a wall wall step. you know, a lot of our language is, are actually dying on monday, the canadian government and non stop in indigenous names can be used in their original spelling for identity and immigration documents. about 6 years after

report by the truth and reconciliation commission condemned so name, cultural genocide of schools. well, the move also comes after the grim discovery of hundreds of on more grades at the sight of a former residential school. of those institutions were part of a country wide network aimed at assimilating 1st nations children by removing them from their communities. 2 8 on. 8 8 the. 8 do you mean sincere? 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. ah,

i couldn't talk a word of english. i tucked cree and i was abused for that hit and made to try to talk english. i lost my language. they threatened to the dropping the pre spoken. and within a year i lost all of it. i . 8 used to him, i ill drunk caring and night else 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, he started 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. lauraly williams again said little has changed with indigenous people still exposed to what she said,

the systemic racism encountered. this wind school has definitely caught a lot of attention around the world. there's so many different leaders that pass, woke 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, work grateful that these children are being bound. we always knew that they were there and it's not just those children. so this is lawana can start to see creates is there so much systemic racism against dell to be and this is exactly why our 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,

and these are our own land. solar systemic racism have to stop. british government ministers have described to decline and raped conviction rates, a shameful after a review, find the thousands of victims. i've been to like justice officials have apologized but active to say that's not enough. and it's unusual for 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 heads of the victims and survivors who have been so terribly let down. and i think that 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 reveal more

than half of rape victims drop. there are cases only one and a half percent of them see their suspected a tucker charged. the prob, blamed increase, and police questioning an excessively long court process. the government has now introduced a score card system to assess the speed with which cases get to court, and whether victims are satisfied with the outcome. the 1st results will be published by december. the new plans helping criticize by many however, we say it will simply lead or may simply to quote, as being filed on potentially innocent mail. defendants being prosecuted, katie russell, again say short term measures are not going to solve the issue of the victims, and survivors are likely to feel quite angry, actually as 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 talking about a long term systemic structural issue,

a wholesale issue so, so small individual measures are going to, on their own, be able to solve the 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 in this review comes after very many years of campaigning the russian region of crimea, hers declared a state of emergency amid severe flooding, which has left at least one person dead, 18 others injured. almost 2000 people have been evacuated from their homes as well . are t 0 at delmar proportional from the crimea. despite all efforts to this city of y'all phase 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

a street. yes. houses up the street. people can't live in them any more, but literally hours ago, or 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 of the situation is disastrous in many homes. those that are on the low lands that 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 face this crisis alone. the situation is very serious, both emergency ministry workers and the army right now helping out are taking part in relief efforts. but the situation is made even worse by the fact that this city

and this region, it has lately suffered from a shortage of clean water of drink about 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 downfall 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, encouraging today in yalta. unfortunately, this happened there. the lord god gave them too much water in one goal. yeah, some bitter sac 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, compared to what is happening right now. and the city is also bracing for more just in case more rain is to come. illegal rave in france ended in horror on friday night to revolution,

reportedly had their hands partially blown off when the picked up police stung grenades officers within on the curfew. defying party the. 7 event took place in the field in northwest france with some 1500 people in attendance. these fire tear gas small party goers through missiles on petrol bombs, federal officers sustained injuries, authority say an investigation is underway into what happened was despite a 7 hour long operation to disperse the crowd, there were still reports of police flashes on sunday morning with a die hard group of attendees, apparently, still partying in the afternoon. still ahead in the program this our u. s. senate probe concludes that the f b. i had advanced warning of the capitol hill. why it's black in january, but fatal to that story and morphine, the brake shoes

. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation, let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, a very critical time. time to sit down and talk rather driven by dreamers shaped by those in me i

think we dare to ask me. ah ah, let's start the program back in central. moscow are a major fire has been put out. it raged for several hours at a pyrotechnic warehouse. several explosions were heard earlier on. at least 4 people were injured in the blades, which is believed to have been caused by an electrical short circuit assessing for associates with a huge plume of smoke, seemingly emanating from the center of moscow. the

just a couple of 100 meters away from loosen key station, which one of the biggest port stadium in the capital got around 81000 seats. that was a conflicting report as to what was actually happening. once all said. c 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 that i've been here, i can see that all the way down. you can see all the way down. we've got fi, runjun, we've got police cars, the stretching, also not direction towards the bridge, but there are also a number of ambulances that are confirmed reports from the mayor's office. i believe saying that for people about 35 men 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 meter. at least 3 helicopters have been circling overhead that come, you can see that that bringing water to try and dump and the flames and they don't look like lot. but i'll tell you, i was funny about they make a head of a noise, but they also carry around 5 tons of water. so they have been thought 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, made 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 a bit like i was in the middle of a sandstorm and i could feel it in my hat and in my clothes,

the smell was 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 spark close. you could tell that that was something from the fi walks. so that's the way it's looking at the moment. still a lot of activity out the sight 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 photos of people, stopping, trying to get home at the moment. everything is still shut off, the emergency service is a walk in the fire and all the watching at tirelessly so that people are just stepping back and letting people do guy walk right now. ok. heading stateside u. s. police, along with the f. b. i apparently had prior warning of the capital riots in january, but failed to take pre emptive action. a dumbing conclusion of a cell of inquiry, scale up not been takes us through. its been 6 months rent 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 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 needed 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 january. the 6th, with 1st amendment protected speech of limits of 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 and journey of the 6, including a plot to breach the capital, the online sharing of maps of the capital complex system of systems, and other specific threats of violence. yet the i, c, d, did not convey the full scope of known information to u. s. c, p. leadership rank and file offices or law enforcement partners. so the secret service and police intelligence were aware of 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 is planning on storming the u. s. capital building and do nothing . looks like this report raises more questions than answers. caleb martin, r t new york runs top judge ibrahim raised he has won the countries presidential election with a residing 62 percent of the vote. after being congratulated by the art going leader, sunroof honey, the new president elect pledged to earn the people's trust. atlanta tags will be with a corporation of mr. ro, honey, and all members of the government. i will use the finance experience 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 man the rising who has served until now. as chief justice of iran garnered almost 18000000 votes. 15000000 more than his closest rival. he will officially take office in august political unless side mcgrew on the expects. the new leader to take

a firm approach to negotiations with western powers. he 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 faith has given it a bad hand with the maximum pressure campaign of trump and bite and, and the corona virus. but this race is, is seen as an anti corruption figure. and he's also seen is very clean. and so his, his popularity has gone up in 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, by their side of the bargain. and in response to the iranians would do the same.

but it's american arrogance. the berlin senate sounds passed as solar i requiring the installation of solar power panels on the rips of buildings. the law applies to all new dwellings, 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 2023 and includes hefty penalties for violations. but it's face a barrage of criticism, not just from construction firms. the present law will act as a brake, especially in the field for innovation. many home owners will think twice about whether roofing innovation is actually necessary, as they will be left with additional costs. well berlin's ruling left when coalition said the law will take a big step towards calamity, trial, etc. the emphasize, the sooner act is going to create future proof jobs. they say,

especially in the areas of plumbing to craft, we gauge reaction on the streets further because 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 there are 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 investing enough future. maybe they should, they should be solving assistance from government. people that have previous that maybe don't have the money. it 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 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. well that wraps up in used cars for now, but our programs, they're only just beginning to find out what's being served up in moments wherever you are today. they close me the join me every thursday and the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics, sport, business and show business. i'll see you then. me 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 and interrogation. you've gotta be ready to step out. definitely don't want to be going to trial in the jump suit. one cups. you're more likely to walk free if you're rich and guilty, you are, if you're poor and you got 2 eyes and 2 ears and one mouth. so you should be seeing and hear and a whole lot more than you're saying. if you don't take that advice, usually going to date yourself a whole well come to redacted denied the comedy show americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents. so one is congress been up to since we last? yeah. did. did they give everyone health care now? did they stop all us bombing of other countries who maybe they ended fossil

fuel use in order to allow us to live on this planet for a little longer than say, 20 years. i know maybe maybe they ended world hunger, which we could easily do with like a fraction of our military budget. no, no, not at all. instead, last week, the senate ok, a bill that would provide aid for the mysterious havana syndrome. injuries. yes. the syndrome in cuba, we need to provide aid to those people who were hurt by a mysterious thing from 4 years ago that gave them slight headaches way to go congress. very few institutions are able to respond so effectively to something that was likely made up in the 1st place. several years after it happened while we're at it lead path bill to give assistance to adults who suffered p t as p from to ferries.
