ah, the headlines are one are dozens of criminal cases are opened and hundreds of web pages removed as russia. a title to trade and fake vaccine certificate reporter on the program side out the risk of trying to obtain one for himself. and so they put all the information that i gave them, the fake name, date of birth was fated i would scam and i've lost my money. sexual abuse claims around an e. u funded migrant detention camp in libya at one teenager from somalia going on a record about what allegedly happened to her and the 4 other girl. also, public opinion is split over 2 statues of georgia, floyd unveiled for june 18th,
10:01 am
that's a new federal holiday marking the end of slavery in america. with the issue up for debate, there are many african americans who are, are much more deserving with man was basically a drug addicted criminal. i'm actually george floyd isn't being lifted up as a hero. but a reminder of the institutions in this country that are systemically races. ah, it's a busy monday for your. well, what news headlines, thanks for joining us here for the program. this is the international. so moscow is grappling with a new wave of coven infections. a 7000 cases have been registered registered now, and just the past 24 hours. that is down from a record high of 9000 the few days ago and rushes, president vladimir putin says the pandemic has worsened in some parts of the country. there's really no. unfortunately, the cobra threat hasn't receded in
10:02 am
a number of regions. it's actually got worse. but in the spring and summer of last year, when the situation was especially difficult when managed to soften the very 1st hardest blow buying time to mobilize the health care system. as well as for our scientist who developed a vaccine. assuming the russian capital recently made jobs mandatory for certain sectors which could explain why it's fake vaccination market is booming right now. here in moscow, a correspondent concert in a rush call. find out the risks of trying to school one for himself, $35.00. that's how little a fe, coded vaccine certificate would cost you here in russia. not only are they cheap, but the market for them is huge. so i went on telegram and found plenty 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 stamps and
10:03 am
doctorates the signature is 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 and even 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 1900 vaccination certificate. how can that be done? option $140.00 for the certificate, not registered on government website. option $2180.00 for certificate registered on
10:04 am
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 a government website called god slogan. without this,
10:05 am
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, nobody. hello. do you provide vaccination certificates? yes. which one do you need? the simple one or with registration on casa st. louis, 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 date 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 sky works, that's why we should just completing the payment after you get your q r code. so you will know for sure that we did our work all the cameras i talked to
10:06 am
were very discreet 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 it causes way more around $300.00 and it requires that corrupt health care worker who has to fill in patients data without seeing that person and then throw away an on use 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 this dozens of extra vials came from. because all the vaccines are numbered, rushing 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's internet watchdog was calm that dories forcing scores of suspicious
10:07 am
websites and telegraph verbs 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 claim they are out of options here. the country now deals with the delta various which spread faster and have harder. for scammers are sensing this 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 and losing your money the way i did or what's worse, getting on the wrong side of the law. and then there was the matter of deadly virus that you are still not protected against the market for account of it. certificate is a global one in the us, the f. b. i has received several 1000 vaccine scam alerts since the thought of the year. and in germany, a special police unit was set up to count with a trade. and we discussed the issue with martin bolts up
10:08 am
a member of germany's left party print for document for back the nation. this is endangering people emphasis and accept in the festival. but i think this is just the result of politics which doesn't lead to equality and the possibility to be in germany for example, if you want to get back to not everybody wants to be seen can be. but 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 care for medical care for the possibility of a scene for everyone. and the people themselves. they have to can have an allegation of sexual abuse at an e. you funded micro to come in libya. here is the testimony of one of those that when you 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
10:09 am
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 try and leave the new with an african show was to get to europe. and she says that when she was liberated and taken to one of these detention centers, she thought her deal was over. but sadly, from those allegations, it was far from that some human rights group say that the centers are known for being rife for sexual abuse. sexual violence and exploitation,
10:10 am
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 the room, bigger questions about the use own role in this cycle of gender and sexual waste violence, because the e u is helping fund the libyan coast guard, which is working to intercept migrant boats before they leave the coastal waters of
10:11 am
libya. now just this year alone, around 13000 men, children and women have been intercepted menu of whom have then been taken to these types of centers for processing all cat 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 many more fear, the torturous old 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 americans are
10:12 am
divided over to new statues of george floyd who died during an arrest by a police officer last year. one boss was put up in new york for june. 18th, that's a brand new u. s. holiday marketing. the end of slavery in america, george lloyd's brother, who was at the unveiling of the monument called his killing a sacrifice to the cause of racial justice. a couple of days earlier though, another statue of george floyd was presented to the public of his time in new jersey. it's been 13 months since the death of george floyd in minneapolis an event the spark months of civil unrest, both in america and beyond. a police officer was convicted, it was killing an april, he's due to be sentenced next week. the new statues have been widely criticized online. however, with many pointing out floyd's own, extensive 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
10:13 am
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, you know, need to discuss the issue with a social commentator under 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 thing 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. the 4 white men who would have been
10:14 am
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 on 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 floyd, 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 races, including i'm a police force that was acted to assist with the center of indigenous land. and the
10:15 am
capture of black bodies who escaped bondage is why we are erecting the statues. one of the main features of last year's protest that we spoke about in, in this program was pulling dine statues that cause the vision. a lot of rage, a lot of hatred out there, wasn't there. why put up more of them? i don't think that we can complete a statue of george lloyd 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's a symbolism. i don't think we should, the reductive of the trauma that it causes indigenous and black people to see statues and street names named after the people who killed in slaves and kept them
10:16 am
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 educate. no, but it's certainly was not for matter. frustration is building on the streets of the british capital over relentless, locked down extensions. copays restrictions were supposed to be eat today. last week, the government pushed back the target date by 3 weeks until july, the 19th, so let's cross live enough shot edwards, daphne. now joining us in central london, not the best of weather for what looks like an anti locked down rally. you tell us what's happening where you are shot. yes. well, of course today was supposed to be freedom day here in the united kingdom, but certainly in london, it is anything that we know of course, just all through the prime is it didn't laying freedom day for yet another great many people here today in central london are incredibly angry with the government
10:17 am
for what they have done as you can probably protect the ben charles and shame on you on freedom. because freedom is exactly what they, what they feel stuck in this a prison sentence for a lot not longer than by, as i expected. now, it's all about july, the 19th going forward. that's the new day trying to survive. drug restrictions will then be less did. of course it did come with a warning from the prime minister that he said, going to freedom day to sing, could result in thousands more people dying. instead, he was to run pop that vaccination program. he's producing by that very j o, i don't know back to died july the 19th or needed to say many people today will not be taking that vaccination because they also believe that the government is trying to control the population without the nation. so as rouse,
10:18 am
so many scientists say that freedom, they could actually come lightly sooner than july. the 19th because as we know far from the government has always said that the data that the policy is always dictated by the data. i know the dates having said that, the government has a lot of mixed messages as well because the medical officer actually said that the u. k. will be living with cove at 19 for a long time to come so many people here today. i want to be locked out, will simply never end, but it's not just not done issues that deployment is, of course, shows the needs to deal with. but also they need to worry about so many coming for format. he's a, he's a prime minister who said tomorrow he will all anything about the time as you can probably get a good rousing that we know that. 6 every downgrade is really nice and i'm not the be just the babysit.
10:19 am
dennis job is great. i would as i think i'm gonna go back to that with a very lively crowd. big turn out for the anti lockdown project in london. thank you. well, emanuel microns, he got what's been described as a slap in the face in the 1st round of french regional elections, early results suggested came phone or even 4th. in most regions. however, the vote was also significant for his extremely low turn out with 67 percent of voters staying away from the paulding stations. the french president's party managed to gone at only around 10 percent of the vote, about half as much as his rival, marine la pens, national rally. the 2 are expected to face off in the next presidential election in roughly 10 months time. while we spoke with french political analysts,
10:20 am
alexi pooler, who told us what these results could mean for the french president and his party. those picked up this vote reflects a feverish state that has gripped the executive branch of government, including a manual micron and this national vote is the only way the french have to say stop or go on the back to manual macros policies tonight. they said clearly enough, we don't want that any more. in terms of ministers, 5 ministers who did not pass the 1st round, our historic. this is a snap in the face. this is a historic vote. what does this mean? this means that macros party completely failed. it simply does not exist for the french. this is a media policy. it served as a vehicle for manual, my chrome to become president of the republic in 2017. but outside of that, it does not exist. and other european leader is also facing a bit of a hard time, as the swedish parliament has just voted through a no conference motion against the prime minister,
10:21 am
social democrats to find it look young is the 1st prime minister in the country's history to be ousted in this way, it's due to his government's plans to deregulate sweden's housing rental market. this has been very hard hit by the pandemic. now if he refuses to resign the country, we'll face not elections just a bit later this year. and so the u. s. government set is drawing up yet another round of anti russia sanctions. the announcement was made on the same day, the russian ambassador actually return to america after 3 months are being recall to moscow amid a right intentions. it also did come as a surprise to many given the largely up beat messages at the last week's the summit last week with prudent and biden in geneva. well, russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman said moscow has no choice, but to retaliate. we have always given a consistent response to legal actions of the united states. it is strange that
10:22 am
some people in washington enjoy this obstacle course so much. american idealogues have revealed themselves. they need all of the fuss around suppose poisoning as a tool for solving the problems of their own non competitiveness. then you sanctions are said to be related to the case of russian opposition. figure alex in the valley and also targets russian companies engage in the nor stream to gas pipeline project. upon his arrival in america, the russian ambassador noted that despite the recent positive summit, not much seems to have changed. not, not the result everyone was expecting up to the summit. i don't believe that 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 thing as i believe in actions not words. i said that we should wait and see what our american colleagues do. it's thought that they have chosen the path that does not lead us to the positive outcome that both present saw. we have very serious issues,
10:23 am
but we are ready to talk constructively, to solve them. meanwhile, the white house that it will take up to one year for washington to decide whether it is even possible to have a strategic dialogue with moscow. also adding that quote, it's hard to imagine russia as a friend in the future. independent journalist martin summers says the upcoming sanctions reveal the clout of 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 operators. and the media here were determined to sabotage constructive 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 master nations in
10:24 am
order to prevent anything positive coming on today and the same. so this is sort of gets a free media. it makes it's just common sense to saw. she talked to each other. so of course we had the meeting last week, but 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 of now being brought to the right to be transferred to other countries. it's off to a review committee concluded that neither man holds any extreme, his beliefs. the detainees were handed over to america and 2002 huge supporting al qaeda records indicate that one of the pair was tortured by the ca during interrogation. in pakistan, a human rights group has branded conditions that get mo prison, cruel, inhumane, and degrading. now the decision brings the total number of those approved for
10:25 am
transfer to 11. it remains unclear when these people can actually be repacked created. and the move requires diplomatic security arrangements with the recipient countries. and some detainees permitted to transfer under the obama administration are still living at guantanamo. we spoke to investigative journalist, dave lindell, who says it violates a raft of laws 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 u. s. code of military conduct or the us constitution. it's totally illegal to have them held for nothing
10:26 am
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. it's left at least one person dead, 43 injured and other one missing. almost 2000 people had to be evacuated from their homes. and reporting from the region is ortiz, eager to turn 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. one shower was started
10:27 am
a couple of days ago. this river bed got clogged very quickly with boulders, mud and well on the deck. 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. with 1st thought kits were being noise 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 a gust 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,
10:28 am
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, it comes all the way from the mountains and people here they are building, make shift dams to basically re routes 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 road, but 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 out 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
10:29 am
this flooded towns as a shortage of war, tim 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 get done of reporting from crimea r t. and there are some of your top stories for this hour here on the monday program on see international. anything you think you might have missed always find it online at ortiz, dot com for the meantime. we're back in half an hour. the aah! taylor with us.
