8:01 pm
declare a state of emergency ah law for moscow. thanks for joining us. on our team tonight salon. daniel, who will util. sunrise? welcome to the program. america is celebrating it's new june t holiday marking the end of slavery in $865.00. the supreme court, though, has also just rule that 4th child labor in africa is not something us food johns, are culpable for elaborate. franco takes up the story. the question is, slavery still something that troubles america today? well, here comes the answer from the president. remember, the moral stain, the terrible toll. this slavery took on the country and continued to take. so what's there to be done about that?
8:02 pm
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 be food for child slavery. this ruling has disturbing implications for future victims of human rights abuses, seeking justice against businesses and us courts. this ruling also says a dangerous precedence, giving 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
8:03 pm
as children, and forced to work as slaves and horrendous conditions on coca farms. the activists are sounding the alarm over the ivory coast effect 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. i. 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,
8:04 pm
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. expect even more emotional words from them, from the athletes, 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
8:05 pm
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, any big corporations, get the ear of politicians. so they're never held to account the way they should be . pretty government ministers of the drive to decline in rate conviction rates as shameful. that's off the review,
8:06 pm
found that thousands of victims have been denied. justice officials have apologized but actually say that's just 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 hurt 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. along the way to review reveals more than half of the victims drop their cases and only 1.5 percent of them see the attack a charged pro blamed intrusive police questioning on an excessively long court process. of the government now introduced a score card system to assess the speed with which cases get to cotton,
8:07 pm
where the victims are satisfied with the outcome. the 1st results we published by december or the new plans have been criticized by many however, who site may simply lead to quotas being filled and potentially innocent mail. defendants being prosecuted, casey russell, again says 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 talking about a long term systemic structural issue, 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, and the apology in this recognition. and this review comes after very many years of
8:08 pm
campaigning. the russian region of crimea has declared a state of emergency i made severe flooding, which was left at least one dead to missing and 24 injured. almost 2000 people have been evacuated from their homes. all t z goes done up reports now from the region. 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 a street. yes. houses up the street. people can't live in them anymore. but literally hours ago, rather a couple of days ago, cars were 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
8:09 pm
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 lands 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 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 to show 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
8:10 pm
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 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. indigenous canadians have been given the right to use their traditional aims on official documents spot of a government effort to atone for decades of force assimilation. we spoke to envision scheman rights activists, laurel williams, who told us in no way makes up for the wrong the 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,
8:11 pm
but you know, in that moment it was just too hard for me. i had to leave my moms 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 our culture, to take our name, to try to killer it cannabis genocide against our 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 announced that envision is name is, can be used in the original spelling for entity and immigration documents. last 6
8:12 pm
years, author report by the truth and reconciliation commission condemned so called cultural genocide schools. or the move also comes off the grim discovery of hundreds of unmarked graves. at the sight of a former residential school. those institutions were part of a country wide network came that assimilating 1st nations children by removing them from their communities. 2 8 of. 8 8 the. 8 day you will see it was that it wasn't due today that was going to be the target, the victim. you know, you weren't going to have to suffer any humiliation. he learned to cry anymore. he'll get harder. and yet you learn to shut down. oh, the i couldn't talk
8:13 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 with a strapping. you spoke it. within a year, i lost all. ah. 8 i used to him i dreamt occurring at 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 his mind. i pleaded with the principal for days to take him to the doctor. ah, they started to actually take advantage of me and abuse me, not long. not too many, many people for very long time until i was 16. i held everything in and didn't tell anybody for 20 years. laura williams again says littlest changed with indigenous people still exposed to what she says is systemic racism, canada,
8:14 pm
this one school has definitely caught a lot of attention around the world. there's so many vision is 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, we're grateful that these children are being bound. we always knew that they were there, and it's not just those children still want to start to create their so much systemic racism against dell to be and this is exactly why are women and girls are indigenous women and girls to hear it 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,
8:15 pm
and these are our own lands. so the systemic racism has to stop an illegal raven from saying that in horror on friday night to revel is reportedly had their hands partially blown off when they picked up police done grenades as officers swooped in on the curfew defying party. the. 7 7 the events took place in the field in northwest france with some 1500 people in attendance for gas, while policy goes through missiles and petrol bombs. several of his sustain injury authorities say an investigation is underway into what happened. at this point, a 7 hour long operation to disperse the crowds that were still reports of police lashes on saturday morning with a diehard group of attendees, apparently still parting in the afternoon. still, miss l,
8:16 pm
8:17 pm
will. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation, let it be an arms race is on, often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical time time to sit down and talk the welcome back to the program. a major 5 been put out in central moscow raised for several hours at a pyro technics warehouse. and several explosions were heard. at least 4 people were injured in the blaze, which is believed have been caused by an electrical short circuit. so if you taylor was near the scene today was a huge plume of smoke,
8:18 pm
seemingly emanating from the center of moscow. the just a couple of 100 meters away from loosen key station, which one of the biggest fort stadium in the capital around 81000 seats. that one of the conflicting reports as to what was actually happening. once all said that it was a warehouse that caught fire from a firewall shop near by, but then it turns out that it was indeed a pyrotechnics warehouse with apparently 15 tons of inflammable. but then that fire jumped on to a 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 got fire engines. we've got police cars, the stretching also and not direction towards the bridge. but there are also
8:19 pm
a number of ambulances to the all 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 so clean. 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 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 up flames down. what i'll also say is that the smoke is actually behind the 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 everyone 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
8:20 pm
a bit like i was in the middle of a sand storm. 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 those all to the smell that you got from spot clothes. you could tell that that was something up 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 to there is a crowd sort of behind the camera that's still gathering, still taking photos of people, stopping, trying to get home at the moment everything is still shut off, the emergency services are watching the farm and all this you're watching at tirelessly so that people are just stepping back and letting all these people do that right now. the u. s. police, along with the f b i apparently had prior warning of the capitol hill writes in january, but failed to take preemptive action of the dining conclusion of a senate inquiry. caleb open takes us through the story, has been 6 months spent,
8:21 pm
a mob storm the u. s capital on january 6. 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 riot. here is some of what they found needs 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 january. the 6th with 1st amendments,
8:22 pm
protected speech of limited credibility and acknowledge areas for improvement. in the 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 into 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 as 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
8:23 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. the burning senate has passed a solar act requiring the installation of solar power panels on the roofs of buildings. laura applies to all need weddings is what existing ones in need of a roof renovation. gemini, capitalism, to satisfy quarter routes. electricity needs through solar power by 2050. and the bill takes effect in 2023 and includes heavy penalties for violations. it has though faith, the barrels 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 whether roof renovation is actually necessary, as they will be left with additional costs. burnings rolling left when coalition
8:24 pm
says the law will be a big step towards climate neutrality. they believe the subtle act will create future proof jobs, especially in the areas of planning and craft. we get reaction on the streets of bonus. not going to cause 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 nicole politics in germany. you should be getting that i know that it will cost money initially, but i think eventually we will be better off by investing enough future. maybe they should, they should be probably the system from government. people that have base 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
8:25 pm
10 or 15 years. investments will be recruit, which is a good thing. in principle, i'd support the idea, but i do. politicians are always coming up with things that hardly make any sense. up next to commentary examines the impacts of gun violence on the shooter in behind the bullet. for us view, it's on the contact side of the u. k. 8, the attic salmon. so it's even i can often out with the latest once again than me. the conservative republicans near once will use against by doing the same tactics that republicans i had to see coming from democrats after come think so they would accuse by didn't know for being too soft, indecisive, of,
8:26 pm
like an a clear agenda not off enough to be and definitely, they will try to sabotage some of the agreements that have been reached. geneva, ah, join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me really good. that's it. i'm going to be okay with i will do this. you're gonna sit with your dog. do you see
8:29 pm
8:30 pm
jesus' name, a man looking back sometimes. i mean, this is a difficult memory for all of us to unpack and to try to address it. sometimes it helps, but one of the things was what were we initially concerned about in those early days? i still wanted taylor to be a happy little boy, and i don't know if how you will be able to handle it. i didn't want the memory to heart to all your life. i have this li, the huge concern about worth asian. you know, he was so little and so what is he going to have to go through who i was young and i didn't understand what was what was going on at the time. and it was difficult for me to process.
