and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics, small business, i'm show business. i'll see you then in the ah, dozens of criminal cases are open to hundreds of web pages removed as russia and tackles a trade in taken back, the certificate reporter found out the risk of trying to obtain one for himself. so they put all the information that i gave them, the faith name, date of birth. let's face it, i would scam and i've lost my money. public opinion is split over 2 statues of george floyd recently unveiled for june, 18th, the new federal holiday marking the end of slavery in the u. s. and the issue up

for debate, and there are many african americans who are, are much more deserving with man was basically a drug addicted criminal. i'm actually, george boy isn't being lifted up. i think you're on a reminder of the institutions in the country that are systemically racist. yeah. the anti lockdown protesters, stuff with police in london as proud to vent their fury over covert restrictions being extended once again. ah . broadcast live direct from our studios in moscow. this is art international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you know, moscow is grappling with a new wave of covert infections. 7000 cases have been registered in the past 24

hours down from a record high of 9000 a few days ago. russia's president says the pandemic worse and in other parts of the country as well socially. and 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, well managed to soften the very 1st hardest blow buying time to mobilize the health care system. as well as for our scientists who developed a vaccine was moscow recently made jobs mandatory for people working in certain sectors which could explain why the fake vaccination market is booming right now. in our capital, correspondent constantino rush golf found out the risks of trying to score 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 proof that you were inoculated. those certificates even have hospital stamps, and doctor is 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 station. hello. i would like to buy

cobra $900.00 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? the youngest 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 screwed me up the well, i think there is no point for me to wait any longer because let's face it,

i would scan 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 got a slogan 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 been hello. do you provide vaccination certificates? yes. which one do you need the simple one or with registration on cost louis, i need the $1.00 with 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. and after 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 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 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 cost 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 the 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 rushes internet watchdog ross. com, that doors for sync scores of suspicious 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 that 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 on the wrong side of the law. and then there was the matter of deadly virus that you are still not protected against creating counterfeit certificates is

a burgeoning business worldwide in the us. the f. b, i has received several 1000 vaccine scam alert since the start of the year. and in germany, a special police unit has been set up to counter the trade. we discussed the growing fraud with martin dolts are a member of germany's left party print for document for the nation. this is endangering people emphasis and accept in acceptable. 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 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 camp for medical care for the possibility of a thing for everyone. and the people themselves. they have to can the

americans are divided over to new statues dedicated to george floyd. he died last year during an arrest by a police officer in minneapolis. one bus was put up in new york for june, 18th, a new us holiday marking the end of slavery in america. george fledged brother who was at the unveiling of the monument called his killing a sacrifice to the cause of racial justice. now a couple of days earlier, another statue of george floyd was presented to the public in new jersey. it has been about 13 months since the death of george floyd in minnesota event that sparked months of civil unrest in the u. s. and beyond. a police officer was convicted of his murder in april and is due to be sentenced next week. the new statues have been widely criticized on line with some pointing out floyd's own extensive criminal record carrying down statutes of our nation. 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 off 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 o'neill talked to a social commentator and they political activists who were divided on the issue of monuments being erected to george floyd. 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 of the fact that there were slave owners replaced 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 lloyd, 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 staff to sort of indigenous land.

and the capture of black bodies who escaped bondage is why we are erecting the statues. one of the main features of last year's protest we spoke about in this program was pulling dine statues that caused 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 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 street names named after the people who killed in slaves and kept them

are 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 no, but it's certainly was not for matter. frustration is building in the u. k. over relentless lockdown extensions covered restrictions were supposed to be eased on monday, but last week the government pushed back the target date by 4 weeks to july 19th, a large rally in london started peacefully but ended up agitated. the world today was supposed to be freedom day here in the united kingdom, but in the heart of central london, it seems to be anything. but of course, of the month of the month, the prime minister,

far as joseph was hailing june 21st as the day that old 19 restrictions would be lifted. but just last week he had known a full week delay to that freedom day. and many people here in central london not absolutely furious. so this poses prison sentence will be extended even longer so much. so we've even witnessed some scuffles between the protestors here today and the police are mostly price as a chanting freedom. and shame on you is they believe that the government is trying to control them. they could, by the time in months that they vaccinate the 1st 15000000 most, that would be great. and then the movie again until april and then the fed. let's do the 1000000 and then that the notes here for or you know, probably said that no matter what 21st to june would be great. great. these ridiculous restrictions which across the board or anything from tribe old faith

entertainment. not justified by the medical evidence. taken phrase, him a be individual. so now the due date for the diary is july, the 19th that's the day. the 1st johnson hopes to lift all of these kind of data restrictions. but it also came with a warning from the prime minister that doing so any soon us could result in thousands more people dying. instead, there's a huge focus on, i'm thing up that vaccination program, high things that all adults will be off of the vaccine by that date. needless to say, many people here that are protesting throughout the day will probably decline that invitation because they all do it. it's got a lot to do with population control. now as we know, the government is always said that the policy would be guided by the data and not the day. so there's certainly mixed messages coming from government, especially considering that you've gone civic advisors to the government has said

that the u. k. would be living with private 19 forever. so many people have protesting, today are worried whether or not they're locked down will last forever run. sure. and pretty much doubtful. so the government can really stick to this new freedom day on july. the 19th for, remember, the 1st johnson has always said that this lockdown would be the very last people i have today. they stephanie don't even believe they should have been one of them. that's great in the 1st place. friendship, president emmanuel micron has received it yet another slap in the face this time though a reputation one after a lackluster result in regional elections, his party only garnered around 10 percent in the 1st round of voting ortiz, charlotte davinsky reports seen as a dress rehearsal ahead of next presidential election from seas regional voters illustrating just how tough that battle ahead is going to be both manual macaroni

and marine la pens. policies failed to show that they were the heavy hitters for my calls. republic on the move policy, the results were particularly bruising. even policy inside is can't deny how bad they sees, not going to minimize what has happened. it's a slap in the face. this is a democratic slap in the face, and it's due to a very low election turn out. well, i'll see, doesn't condone violence, but what happened to my policy has been particularly brutal in several regions. that party, it was eliminated from the 2nd round of voting offered fail to reach the 10 percent threshold. we did the vote, even saw government ministers being knocked out. it's something of a surprise blue for my call and this is post. so popularity, the theme,

the surgeon recent month, it also shows that his tooth bronze, which just took place, which was seen as him trying to sure up the boat ahead of the election, didn't succeed. so why has his policy failed to connect with voted? it shows even he, it even not much more unpopular that it was supposed to because he's, results are, are, does it say vote against him for last year a lot of misconduct and that was shown by the yellow as movement on by the fact that the government didn't react to do all the situation is going worst and worst. and the only way the government behave with our organ and you know, new people like our goods. so day it shows the government is complete and

macro and basically completely disconnected with the whole society who all rec, or the bench and levels off sending premises the political landscape more than 2 in 3 people didn't cost a ballot that shows b, b don't believe any more in, in political class, even in brittany, you had striking workers who bird, collectively, and an extra cars. so now you have a lot of people showing they don't vote, they don't want to vote. they don't believe in any political party in any political liter. people don't vote, not because they are deeply decide, but because they don't believe in the existing institution. for those who are also disappointing for marine pen policy had been hoping to show that they would be you can handle while over all the national riley took just on the 5th of the vote,

it took the polls in one region and these results look a significant drop in support from 2015. well, she didn't sound herself. policy president of pen verge. boot is to do that. duty keepers, the female hope was all those who want to express their opposition to the actions of this government, which is leading the country into chaos. have a duty to react. if you on things to change, you must vote. if you did not both for your i dis, your voice does not count. the big win is from the 1st round of the voting would the republican party that is not good news for president mike calling, who has increasingly shifted his politics to the right. and essentially has been facing his strategy for reelection next year or more thing up. the very is a revival of the republican party throws that up in the air and shows that michael

has failed to read his policy in the french. so i key. now, while the regional bugs are not regarded as indicators, when next day's elections, they do bring sharply into focus, but the outcome is not a foregone conclusion. while many may see this is being a contest next year between mccolan pen, there is always a challenge and outside i could punch seriously above weight one perhaps increased by the fact that the current president's party just doesn't seem to it with both his shoulders even case all see paris europe is ramping up its sanctions on bella. ruth over the diversion of a passenger plane a month ago, and subsequent detaining of 2 passengers on board. after announcing asset freezes and travel bands, the e. u is now promising to go a step further targeting entire sectors of the bella, russian economy, and russia. the government knows that others are going to hurt,

we want to hurt the economy and we will no longer just sanction individuals. we will now also impose sectoral sanctions. we will now address the economic sectors that are particularly important for the income of the regime. we want to ensure that the regime runs dry financially. now the european union has added 86 more individuals have entities on the new blacklist which was also been approved by the u. s. u. k. and canada. and the next step will be to target key export industries. with the goal of blocking the flow of funds to the lucas shank of government, if approved, those sectors will include oil and fertilizers, both crucial sources of hard currency for billers, of as follows, a wave of indignation from european leaders over the ryan air incident in late may the plane was on its way from greece to lithuania when it was forced to land in

minsk over a hoax. bomb threat to passengers, the editor of a bell or russian opposition. telegram channel suspected of involvement in organizing mass anti government protests and his russian girlfriend were removed from the aircraft and arrested russia analyst martin mccauley thinks further. sanctions could have dire effect on ordinary citizens. is quite lic. shortly. statement some from the european union in west saying they want to actually collapse the economy because not for the average person and that they were civil shortages are present in billers, of course, and prices, origin. when living centers have dropped so that from the situation we would become even worse. i think there's some people in the west who believe that if the economy collapses and the country then more falls apart, this will then lead to prison. lucas, younger disappearing and somebody else taking over with the risk is that you,

in fact, get a military dictatorship. somebody in the military would come in and you would have a military leader, and he would be very hard lined. indeed, the russian football team's participation in the you a 5 year old 2020 tournament is over following a crushing for to one defeat to denmark in copenhagen. on monday, while competition favorites belgium stayed perfect, beating finland to nail in saint petersburg, where authorities had a huge task on their hands to keep them safe from coven, or cheese. alexia shasky spoke to us from russia. northern capital, russia, year or 2020 campaign comes to a stop. the heavy defeat in the hands of denmark, in short, russia would not even have a chance to be in the play off round during this tournament. in the meantime, belgium prevailed over philip. here in saint petersburg, would you give him

a chance to be in a playoff? depends on how other teams fire across all are the groups. obviously, fins and the belgians will be delighted in the streets of st. petersburg. tonight they have been bringing great atmosphere to the events of the north, but we have to say that this whole fi still football here in saint petersburg has come with somewhat of a bitter pill because of a new anti cove. it measures, in fact, the spike in the new coffee cases has been quite rapid over the past few weeks in saint petersburg. on monday, the numbers eclipse to 1000 new cases in one day. there are shortages of spaces for the new covered cases in some of the regular hospitals. new mobile hospitals have been filed by the governor of st. petersburg and letting rod region and also he implemented new measures here in the found zone where used to be always jolly and fun. you cannot even buy food. that's one of the new anti corporate masses implemented by the governor,

believing that sales of food here in the found zone might contribute to the spread of the virus. also all bars and restaurants. i'm now have to close their doors at 2 am until 6 am in the morning. that's just one of the many measures that mr. beg, a lot of the governor has implemented, but we'll see whether the numbers will continue to rise. or maybe they hold out there, i even talks now that the 7th game and st. petersburg, which is the quarter final on the 2nd of july could be moved elsewhere. the situation of course, is quite unpleasant, but maybe not as unpleasant as for the fans of the russian team who will now have to wait until the world cup and see that team. and actually the big thornton, electric report thing from st. petersburg, does it for me to start? i will be back in about $33.00 and a half minutes with another full in 1st. extra news is art in the

ah the ah. ah oh when i was wrong. when i was just don't any room? yes, to fill out the scene because the after an engagement equals the trail,

when so many find themselves will depart. we choose to look for common ground in the book by some it has come and gone, but biking is real. message on his european tour was to galvanized washington's outline into some kind of anti china lion that he succeed. also, the january 6, right? the f b i n b r o gets the boom bus, the one, but the show you can't afford to miss branch of boring washington coming up because prices continue to take a hit. it's china's crack down on the premier crypto currency moves forward

straight ahead. we analyze the latest price swing, plus italy as emerges, the new stage in the battle over gig workers' rights, as the nation has called for tougher rules, and that lead up to a g $20.00 summit. then we shift to the macro scale as bore and investment in the united states as huge again amid the nation's economic recovery. later on, we're bring you the figures and where the world's largest economy stands with impacts. so today, so it's dive right in. not a good start of the week for bit coin as the crypto currency shut, another 10 percent and fell as low as $32000.00. that's the lowest bitcoin. it's been in nearly 2 weeks. so what is responsible for this latest dive? well, analysts say china is expanding cracked out on bitcoin, mining is partially to blame. it's been a tough couple of weeks for the world's most popular crypto currency. this last over 20 percent in the last 6 days alone and is down 50 percent from its april peak

of almost $65000.00. but still we should mention, bitcoin is still up 10 percent since the start of 2021. so let's go ahead and take a deeper look here with boom, co hosts and crypto analysts bend swan and chris, the i, chris see many bitcoin minds in southwest china, fish one province. one of the largest crypto currency mining bases were closed as of sunday, local authorities ordered a hall in mining in the region on friday, mid increase nationwide track down against crypto currency mining. how much effect is this having on the price? well, having quite a big impact because right now, i mean in the interim, effectively one 3rd of the global crypto network processing power will be suspended in the short term. so chinese companies back that coupon they quit mining pool such as will be by an anthem and they've all experienced.
