the trail when so many find themselves, will depart, we choose to look for common ground in the it's up monday headlines, throw it out. see, dozens of criminal cases opened and hundreds of web pages removed as russia handles of booming fake vaccines certificate market and find out the risks of trying to obtain one for himself. and so they put all the information that i gave him, the faith name, date of birth. let's face it. i was scam and i've lost my money. sexual abuse claims around an e. u funded migrant detention company in libya with one teenager from somalia on record about what allegedly happened to her and 4 other girls. and the american public is left divided by 2 statues of georgia. floyd unveiled on the eve of june,

13th, a new federal holiday off the end of slavery in america. for the whole issue of a poor debate. there are many african americans who are much more deserving. this man was basically a drug criminal. i'm actually george boy isn't being lifted up as a hero, but a reminder of the institutions in this country that are systemically races. ah, it is monday, june the 21st and 32 degrees here and most welcome to your news. it's off the internet. most goes not reporting more than $7000.00 new cofi infections of the russian capital broke it all time record for 2 days straight. last week. each time measuring $9000.00 cases of russia's president vladimir putin says the pandemic worse and in parts of the country, there's really no. unfortunately,

the co with threat hasn't proceeded in the number of regents. it's actually got worse. but in the spring and summer of last year, when the situation was especially difficult, we managed to soften the very 1st hardness blow buying time to mobilize the health care system. as well as for our scientist who developed a vaccine was the russian capital recently made jobs mandatory for certain sectors which could explain why it's fake vaccination market is now booming. here in moscow, our correspondent concerts in rush golf found out the risks of trying to score one for himself. $35.00. that's how little a fe, coven vaccine certificate would cost you here in russia. now not only are they cheap, but the market for them is huge. so i went on telegram and found land of anonymous groups that are offering you what at 1st glance might seem as real prove that you were inoculated. those certificates even have hospital dams and doctorate and signature. it's fake one of course. but that's exactly what i was looking for. so i

went with the taliban group that was the quickest to respond and i gave them and made up name, date of birth, etc. and they sent me back a picture of what the final certificate would look like. here it is. so they've already made it look. so they put all the information that i gave them, the faith name, date of birth, be address. and the certificate has stamps that have been dr. a signature, so i gotta give it to them. it really looks like a real one. i know, at least to me, they were polite and i didn't notice anything fish. hello. i would like to buy cobra. 900 vaccination certificate. how can that be done? option $140.00 for certificate. not registered on government website. option $2180.00 for certificate registered on government website. how will the courier

deliver it? how does it happen? a young korea will pass. you the certificate in a yellow envelope like a package from eli express. you know, from what i've seen, the business is booming. these people are even trying to learn new customers with discounts and special offers. they sent samples and even worn against scamarus. he'd take your money and disappear, and in fact, that's exactly what happened to me. so i transferred the money and we agreed to meet at a metro station, but they do me up the well, i think there is no point. me wait any longer because let's face it. i was scammed and i've lost my money. even if i had gotten the certificate, it wouldn't have helped me much. you've seen russia when you get a covey jab, a record of years on the government website called god. so slugging without this, any printed document about vaccination with all the stamps is just

a scrap of paper. but if you're willing to pay more, the same people promise they can hack the system and get you a real working q r code. that'll prove you've had the vaccine, even if you haven't d, hello, do you provide vaccination certificates? yes. which one do you need? the simple one or with registration on casa slogan? i need the one with the registration on the site. what information do you need from me? your name, address, and date vaccination which you need on the certificate? prepayment is 50 percent to putting your data on the government side. you pay the remaining 50 percent. so is it official? yes, of course. completely official. you will get a q r code for the government website as soon as we finish it. but how will you do it? we have our own ways, the scheme works. that's why we suggest completing the payment after you get your q r code. so you will know for sure that we did our work while the cameras i talked

to were very discrete about their methods. but we know there are confirmed cases of people get into vaccination certificate registered on the government website without actually taking the jap. that scheme is more sophisticated and cost way more around $300.00 us dollars and it requires that corrupt health care worker who has to fill in patients data without seeing that person and then throw away an unused jap for the record which, you know, among other things is a waste of all the vaccine is opened and poured out, just in case there is some sudden inspection. it would be difficult to explain where there's dozens of extra vials came from. because all the vaccines are numbered. russian authorities are trying to crack down on the fraudsters and we know of 24 felony cases opened up in the last few weeks over forged vaccine certificates. on top of that, russia is internet watch. dog ross come next door is forcing scores of suspicious websites and telegram burbs to shut down. but the black market is expanding its

reach, especially now that covert jobs are becoming mandatory for most workers in moscow service sector transferred in education, and russian officials claims they are out of options here. the country now deals with the delta various which grad faster, and it's harder for scammers are sensing and getting ready to line their pockets. but one should not forget. but if you opt for a fake certificate, instead of a real shot, you risk either losing your money the way i did or what's worse, getting the wrong side of the law. and then there is the matter of deadly virus that you are still not protected against. while the market of fake certificates is a global one. in germany, a special police team was set up to combat it. fraudsters have also been replicating american vaccination cards and cybersecurity checkpoint estimates. there are more than a thousands sellers of fake vaccine documents on the doc net. we discussed the

issue with mark and also remember of germany's left party principles documented for the nation. this is endangering people emphasis and accept accept. but i think this is just the result of politics which doesn't lead to equality and the possibility to be back in germany, for example, if you want to get back to not everyone wants to be seen, can be back feet. sometimes you have to wait for like 3 weeks or 4 weeks or even longer. so i think this is 2 sides of the same metal. the state has to cap of medical care for the possibility of seeing for everyone. and the people themselves . they have to can have been allegations of sexual abuse, and e, you find it migrant camp in libya. a, here's the testimony of one of those that you have to offer something in return to

go to the bathroom to call the family or to avoid beating. it's like we're being held by traffickers while it's not the 1st time a suffer from sexual attacks. this is more painful as it was by the people who should protect us. will be allocations, are really likely to cause some concern and really raise questions for the you. and that's because it partly funds around 29 if these detention centers in libya that that teenage girl from somalia who made those allegations says it's the 1st time she'd been subjected to sexual violence. and that's because she had already suffered at the hands of human traffickers, human traffickers who were well known for torturing and abusing migrants to troy and leave the northern african. she was to get to europe. and she says that when she was liberated and taken to one of these detention fences, she thought her deal was over. but sadly, from those allegations, it was far from that. now some human rights group say that these centers are known

for being rife for sexual abuse. sexual violence and exploitation are rife in several detention centers for migrants across the country. women migrants reduced to sex slaves in libya. the dangerous journey's leading to libya are not gender neutral. victims of trafficking and slavery deserved internal protection, whether migrants or refugees. in fact, an own report which is written back in 2019 highlighted the massive issues in these detention centers. thousands of men, women and children remain arbitrarily detained in d. c, i am centered in libya, mixed migrants in overcrowded detention centers. a reporter to suffer from various abuses and deprivation, including forced labor torture, sexual and gender based violence. this raises even bigger questions about the use own role in this cycle of gender and sexual based violence because the, he was helping to fund the libyan coast guard,

which is working to intercept migrant boats before they leave the coastal waters off libya. now just this year alone, around 13000 men, children and women have been intercepted menu whom have then been taken to these types of centers for processing or kept for longer periods. now the u. n h d r and others such as m s. s, they are advocating for the release of this teenage girl who made this allegations and those other girls that she said were also abused. but the realities until that happens, these schools and possibly even at many more fear that a torturous who deals fall from over when they make simple a basic human request to go to the bathroom that they could be subjected to this type of sexual assault and violence something but clean,

nobody can deem acceptable. it is all the international. apparently americans are rather divided right now over 2 new statues of george floyd. of course, he died during an arrest by a police officer. last year. one bus was put up in new york for june 10th, the new us holiday marking the end of slavery. george floyd's brother, who was at the unveiling of the mon, you went to court his killing a sacrifice to the cause of racial justice a couple of days earlier. another touch of george floyd was presented to the public in new jersey. now it's been 13 months since the death of george floyd in minneapolis and event the spark months of civil unrest in america ran beyond a police officer was convicted of his killing in april and his due to be sentenced . next week. the news statues have been widely criticized online with some pointing out. george floyd's own enormous criminal record tearing down stat. she's of our nation's founding fathers and putting upset use of

criminals. there are many worthy black people to put up statues of but a violent criminal. he was killed while being arrested is definitely not one of them. some people really building fame, political careers and pocketing money of the name of george floyd. why do i need to know who his brother endorse from new york city and why is there a statue of him in brooklyn, and jersey? this is all nasty to me. earlier my colleague unit, i need to discuss the issue with a social commentator and a political activist. i think it's a big mistake on the part of people who are really just virtual virtue signaling to make this man into a hero. there are many african americans who are much more deserving, who are doing positive things in the community that you could make into a hero and a role model. this man was basically a drug addicted criminal. i would hope that sister melanie is death is upset and more joined me and calling for the removal of the 4 white men who would have been

convicted of committing war crimes who are currently on the most mount rushmore mountain on stolen indigenous territory. i would also hope that sister melanie would be upset. i'm of the fact that there were slave owners greatest of african women and genocidal maniacs, who currently are represented on us currency. i'd rather see a statue of conduct the rice, a clarence thomas, other other black people who have done positive thing in the black community. i don't, i don't the statue of george or somebody who did not do positive things in the black community. i don't, i don't see it as something positive. i'm actually george floyd isn't being lifted up as a hero. but a reminder of the fact that institutions in this country that are systemically racists, including i'm a police force that was acted to assist with the center of indigenous land. and the

capture of black bodies who escaped bondage is why we are writing the statues. one of the main features of last year's protest that we spoke about in, in this program was pulling down statues that cause the vision. a lot of rage, a lot of hatred out there, wasn't there. why put up more than i don't think that we can complete a statue of george floyd to a statue of of say, robert e lee or, and andrew jackson, george floyd, had nothing to do with the genocide of indigenous people. this act up and didn't plan and the enslavement of defendants of africans. i don't think that it actually does anything for black people to take the battery down. i think again it's just, it's just virtue, they're going and wiping out history. i don't think it's a, i don't think it's a great idea and i think it just, it, it stuff. symbolism. i don't think we should, the reductive of the trauma that it causes indigenous and black people to see statues and st names named after the people who killed in slaves and kept them

black people really, that emotionally weak that it's, it's traumatic to see the batteries i've been to the black, the 3 museum and philadelphia that that period was not traumatic for me. it was as a no, but it's certainly was not for matter. and manual of my crohn's part, he got what's being described as a slap in the face in the 1st round of frontage. regional elections, early results suggested came 3rd or even 4th in many of the regions. however, the vote was also significant for his extremely low turn. out with 67 percent of voters staying away from paulding stations, the french president's party managed to gone at only around 10 percent of the vote, which was about half as much as his rival marine le pens national riley received. the 2 are expected to face off in the next presidential election in 10 months time . we spoke with french political analyst, alexi pooler, who told us what these results could mean for the french president and his party.

he does this reflects a feverish thing that is gripped and the executive branch of government, including a manual macaroni and this national vote is the only way the french would have to say stop or go on about the manual macros policies tonight. they said clearly enough, we don't want that anymore. in terms of ministers, 5 ministers who did not pass the 1st round. historic. this is a snap in the face. this is a historic vote. what does this mean? it means that macros, pansy completely failed. it's simply does not exist for the french. this is a media policy. it serves as a vehicle for manual. my crumbs become president of the republic in 2017, but i've signed event. it does not exist. and other european later is also facing a hard time as a swedish parliament has just voted through a no conference motion against the current prime minister. social democrats, stefan lafayette, is the 1st prime minister in the country's history to be ousted in this fashion,

is due to his government's plans to deregulate sweetens rental market. that's been very hard hit by the pandemic. if he refused to resign the country, we will face snap elections just a bit later this year. for you in this program, the white house has revealed is preparing yet more sanctions against moscow. right after the geneva summit between prudent advice, which was of course, held as positive for that story in just a moment. mm . i ah, with me

ah. ah, i use join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then in the moon. ah,

it is good to argue with us today. the u. s. government says is drawing up yet another round of anti russia sanctions, and the announcement was made on the same day that the russian on bassett are finally returned to america almost 3 months after being recall to moscow amid arise intentions. it does come as a surprise to many given the largely up beat messages at last week's putin biden's summit in geneva. russia's foreign ministry spokesman said moscow has no no choice now, but to retaliate. we have always given a consistent response to legal actions of the united states. it is strange that some people in washington enjoy this obstacle course so much. american idealogues have revealed themselves. they need all of the fuss or on a supposed poisoning as a tool for solving the problems of their own non competitiveness. the new sanctions are set to be related to the case of a rushing opposition. alexi, no valley and also target russian companies engaged in the north stream to gas pipeline project. upon his arrival in america, the russian ambassador know to the,

despite the recent summit, not much seems to have changed. that's not the result. and i was expecting out of the summit, i don't believe the sanctions can stabilize relations between countries. dialogue must be restored. first of all, back in geneva. unlike many of my colleagues, i spoke very carefully about the outcome of the summit. the thing is, i believe in actions not words. i said that we should wait and see what our american colleagues do. it's they have chosen the path that does not lead us to the positive outcome. the both present thought. we have very serious issues, but we are ready to talk constructively, to solve them. meanwhile, the white house said it'll take up to one year for washing to decide whether it is even possible to have a strategic dialogue with moscow. adding also that quote, it's hard to imagine russia as a friend in the future. independent journalist martin summers. it says the upcoming sanctions revealed a cloud with the anti russia lobby in washington. well,

i think it shows disarray only us side. it was always going to be very difficult for boyden to make any kind of concessions, because there's a huge lobby inside the united states, based within the, the sort of security apparatus. when the media here were determined to sabotage constructed relations between russia and the west. the faction which you're pushing for a sanctions. they weren't very happy perhaps of the meeting, took place at all. and therefore they've now carried out their machinations in order to prevent anything positive coming on today and the same. so this is sort of gets a frame. yeah. it makes just common sense to saw, she talked to each other. so of course, we had the meeting last week, and i can't say on terribly surprised to see that the, the reiteration of the whole still, etc, which has now become endemic after 17 years to detainees,

held at guantanamo bay without charge, had been now ground to the right to be transferred to other countries. that's off to a review committee concluded that neither man holds extremely beliefs. the detainees were handed over to the americans in 2002 choose of supporting al qaeda record of the records. we have indicate that one of the pair was tortured by the c i. a during interrogation in pakistan on human rights groups have branded conditions of the gift mo, prison, cruel, inhumane, and degrading the decision brings the total number of those approved for transfer to 11. it remains unclear when these people can actually be repatriated at the move require diplomatic security arrangements with the recipient countries. some detainees permitted to transfer under the obama administration are still being held at guantanamo bay. we spoke with investigative journalist dave lind off, who says it all violates a raft of lewis all the way back to george bush and dick cheney,

and through the obama years and now and through the trump years. and then through the start, the button administration. all these presidents have been holding these people claiming that they are unorthodox on, on official combatants and are not treating them in accordance with the geneva conventions rules of war. the us code of military conduct or the us constitution, it's totally illegal to have them held for nothing. and, and they keep justifying it based on this 2001 authorization for a use of military force that congress passed to initiate the lower of the war on terror. they called the war on terror, which isn't even a war. emergency services are dealing with

a devastating impact of flooding in crimea. if that's one person dead with $43.00 injured, another person still missing. almost 2000 people had to be evacuated from their homes and still reporting from the region is author correspondent, eager to start off. days after the flood, dozens of households remain in the firm grip of the catastrophe. here in southern crimea, people spent decades building up their lives here and what they used to call a home now looks like this. so this house, it was built on top of a river bed that runs into ground when showers started a couple of days ago. this river bed got clogged very quickly with boulders, mud, and well of a dutch. so the water, instead of running under the ground, it ran through the house. it is completely destroyed inside now, and there is a serious danger that it could crumble if it begins to shower again. i came here for vacation and out of the blue. these happened. it rained the whole night,

and in the morning and the hostess of the house heard the rumble because there was an underground river running beneath the house. the 1st thought gets ruby noisy out there. but she told me no, is the flow of the water pushing rocks and boulders under us. and then within an hour everything was flooded. my room was the 1st floor what are gushed in and blocked the door. luckily i could get through the window. there will be no rebuilding until the water levels go back to normal. it's simply impossible. now, good samaritans from all around the peninsula are here. lending a much needed hand. so this is one of the smaller towns in crimea, but well, the flooded didn't discriminate, but this place, it demonstrates very well one of the tactics used to minimize the damage from the flood. basically this stream of water over here. and it comes all the way from the mountains and people here they are building, make shift dams to basically re route the water away from shops, homes,

you name it, civilian infrastructure. and there's plenty to clear out some parts of the area look like locations out of robot watch movies, straight cars randomly stuck in the mountain side is a feature of this place. now, there's no estimate as to when they will be cleared out because the water is eroding the. so one careless step beyond this red tape could cause someone's life clearing of the mess and rebuilding is not the only challenge faced by locals. the flood brought other hardships until the bitter irony of the situation is that in this flooded town, there's a shortage of water of drinkable of clean water, the lose as crippled some of the pumping station. so people have to rely on these trucks. the girl cloud is not without a silver lining of hope, though the beaches have already defacto reopened, reminding everyone that normality might now be within reach. i'm

a good done of reporting from crimea r t. do keep in mind, any stories you miss on you can always catch more of them on line and investigate at your own time and leisure. of course, the website auto dot com for the meantime. we are back soon with oh, the german adrian shaped by those in me there's things we dare to ask me. ah, ah,

the the with tom action returns, we're going underground of the narratives, the so called mainstream media won't give you coming up in the show. on the eve of the anniversary of the dismantling of berlin's iconic checkpoint. charlie, why does joe biden spend more than the next 10 highest spending countries on the war when around 40000000 need food aid to eat? in the usa, we analyze the new 2021, global peace and ex report. and what can historic atrocities teach us about war and

peace? today, we speak to the bbc's form and agirri correspondent barnaby phillips. to investigate the been in bronze is artifacts looted by the british of a 100 years ago. they sit at the center of struggles against imperialism, colonialism, and racial violence. all the more coming up in today's going underground. but 1st the annual global piece index is published. it's finding to 2021, showing mobile peace has deteriorated for the one here in our own military spending is ramping up. joining me now for analysis of the report from sidney is the founder of the global piece index. steve kimberlia, thanks so much for coming on. you say the report covers 99.7 percent of the entire world we've. we've covered increasing violence on this program, palestine, yemen, iraq across latin america and africa. rubies index, peaceful lists, just fell point 07 percent doesn't sound like a lot. now actually it's not, it's the 2nd lowest drop the 15 years with been doing it.
