11:01 am
culture was going full goal may as academics run traditional french delicacies from the get the cheeses, braces parisians beg to differ. it's. it's very sad, i think you can eat whatever you want. it is not traces. it's looking for a problem that doesn't exist. ah . hello from oscar, kevin. oh, near deltona edge key. we did this, so thank you for checking in. so as you heard, sad story to start again, there's been another gruesome discovery in canada, $182.00 unmarked indigenous graves have been found close to a former catholic school in the province of british columbia. is prompted the prime minister to ask pope frances to make amends over the church is historic role in the forced as simulation of the community. the discoveries of brought shame on the
11:02 am
countries canada day me i learned not to trying. you just get harder and yeah, you learn to shut down every day was you were in constant fear that your hope was that it wasn't you today that was going to be the target, the victim. it was a genocide and you look at the whole point of the residential school was to take the indian out of the indian to get rid of our language, get rid of our culture and children died and it's being come. it's coming out now and, but my answer to that is, we are still here. we are practicing language. we practice our culture. so did not kill us, but we are coming back. every 1st nation person is feeling the impact of the
11:03 am
residential schools. i had my grandmother attended, my grandfather attended thankfully my mother didn't have to attend, but she still feels the impacts on it. on a daily basis. reconciliation commission had 94 calls, the action that have not been actioned to date in the you know, many years ago. i'm hoping can, we'll take the initiative and start looking at those seriously. and, and then start working with 1st nations and just be, be there. we, we need them to be there for this not to speak to out. he's alex mahal of issues in canada. hey there. thanks for coming on with us. now this, this is the 3rd such discovery. many expect more going to be fine. what's the government saying that in more detail? well, you know that it's discovery after discovery. the latest one was on one's day 182
11:04 am
bodies founded cranbrook british columbia. this is close to a residential school. they use basically a radar that looks underground. and that's where they found these people in unmarked graves that adds to the initial finding, which happened on may 27th and can loops british columbia at another residential school of $215.00 people, as young as 3 years old in mon, mar, grace, and then of course the scotch on which was the biggest find so far at 715 people. so are sorry, excuse me, 751 people. so you add all these numbers up as you mentioned right off the top over a 1000 people found. but we have over 130 schools like this across canada. the program started in the late 18 hundreds and laughed at all the way up to 1996. when the last school was close, that 150000 native children ripped out of their families, arms and put into the schools. they were forced to go to the schools. the royal canadian mounted police were complicit in that they were the ones that would take
11:05 am
the children from their families to the schools that were run primarily by the catholic church at about 60 percent, but also anglican and protest and other smaller churches across the country. the levels of the abuse that we found at these schools was absolutely mind blowing. i just have to read something for you quickly. this is 890007 report for the department of indian affairs is called the bryce report, documented 40 to 60 percent mortality rate in these schools mostly of tuberculosis and then a 90 to 100 percent of these children. this is unbelievable. suffered either from physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. as you can imagine, this has gone through the system and as is, it penetrated our native communities from coast to coast. we still have rates of 80 percent abuse on these 1st nations because of this legacy left behind by these churches and the canadian government, which funded all of these programs. now, when we talking about these unmarked graves,
11:06 am
there is many across the country. obviously, we know that this is something that is hurting a lot of canadians, especially our indigenous communities. so canadians are demanding that the government do something about this. we did have a back in 2015 a commission that said that this was a cultural genocide. they did very little about it up to now. now people are demanding of the prime minister. do something about it and the prime minister, as well as indigenous communities, are demanding an apology from the catholic church. this is prime minister trudeau. i really hope that this time it will lead towards this hope coming onto the canadian soil and apologizing apologizing directly for the responsibility that the catholic church shares in this part of our history now and what is believed to be a reaction to what has happened in the past month or so is that churches are being burned down on need of communities and close to residential schools. we've heard of
11:07 am
5 in british columbia to and berta at one all the way at the other side of the country in nova scotia. here's a little bit more about that. me ah. so they're saying the prime minister has said that destroying places of worship is not the way to go, obviously. but at the same time, canadians are looking at the situation in a much broader perspective. as you mentioned off the top, this is canada day here, there is a movement not to celebrate flags or at half mast. and a lot of people, such as myself that have seen what has happened at the school's back in 2004 is actually the 1st time i heard of them. and that was a report that i did as a, as a junior journalist. unbelievable when you go to these locations, just the,
11:08 am
the way the site spiel. and 2nd of all, when you talk to the people that went through the system, it is absolutely heartbreaking. hopefully, canada will 2 more. and that's exactly what canadians are demanding at this point from toronto, alex mahalo, it should thank you today well in the course and having to identify these graves is a difficult thing to do for anyone. indigenous counselor and former residential school students. since les told us about her work in trying to find out these graves, re started work on our unmarked grades in 2018. at that time we uncovered, identified $35.00 of them, which means we didn't do our whole area. we only did a portion of it, so we expect that there will be more in our areas to really project that we have to identify these groups. but our elders have cried our people have cry, and we need to know where all these children are very,
11:09 am
i'm expecting generation residential schools get into. i attended in the eighty's myself. we couldn't follow our own religions, we couldn't speak our language. we couldn't do our traditional ceremonies or you would be beaten, you would be beaten or thrown in jail. and that's where i come from. and i think every 1st person would say that that wasn't right. and how many of us died because the 1st dental schools, you know, here most goes launching a major re vaccination campaign to day. with a highly contagious delta strain, the coven dominating you infections, boost the jobs were initially meant to be annually. but given the current intensity of the pandemic talk to now revising a fresh shot every 6 months, most goes missing both sputnik v and it'll light very suitable for that job. while the capitals boost a job drive comes, you can see the graph is show can really, as the delta strain infections are surging nationwide,
11:10 am
like we said elsewhere around the world, the countries caseload is more than doubled in recent weeks. picking it to 20 more than 23000 daily cases. there's is this to, to worry about moscow also a particularly grim one for it so far, registering more than $7000.00 cases. well, that spike has prompted the city to produce a system of q r codes known forge ahead with that, let's take a closer look at how that works. but a bit rope is you find that the minute generally no bad. they're supposed to enable someone to get access to certain places to do that, to get a cure code, you need to prove your other fully vaccinated. you've got antibodies or you're able to present a negative p, c r test. that is no more than 3 days old. t constant rose coffee, his q a code practically to the test for us. this is the result. this is my q r code. something party goers now can't live without moscow since this has become one of the only way to get into
11:11 am
a restaurant or bar here. so i decided to investigate how the system works and whether it actually does it all. so let's now go to a couple of places here together. i would start off with one of the most popular applies to my neighborhood. usually has lots of customers all day long. i also brought my son along. he hasn't been vaccinated and he hasn't had cobra. so he doesn't have a q r code. so we're going to see if this is going to be a problem. there was a line outside to find out what's going on. so i think i got a little bit of new york, what hold on for them. well, it turned out my local fast food restaurant was serving, take away orders only knowing door dining was allowed regardless of the vaccination status. when you go and you pay for them,
11:12 am
and you set up a berkeley, not every restaurant in moscow was able to organize q r code scanning in time. anyway, there was another place across the street. we decided to check out more than a minor for them. this time the staff did have the necessary equipment, which is just a regular smartphone by the way. but there's something weird happened. my q r code didn't work. the i had to go to a government website, download the q r code again, and it finally worked. but then something else came up in moscow. you need to show your vaccination certificate it along with an id. i had a desperate on me, but my wife had only a drivers license. even though having a passport is not a rule. we were denied indoors service. they only let us sit outside on
11:13 am
a terrace. bottom line is that we were denied to dining at the 2nd place this morning. so i'm going to keep looking for the right spot. and finally, we managed to get through the turkish restaurant. everything went on without a hitch, they also let our 8 year old unvaccinated kid in as we were told. young children are allowed inside if their parents have valid q r codes that fishery inside a coal, that free i can get rid of the mask. yes. once you're inside your back to the free coven era, no masks or social distance are required. as you can see, it's re deserted. i think that we are the only customer. at the moment. i don't,
11:14 am
there are 2 more people out there. but otherwise it's pretty empty. for vaccinated customers, the immediate benefits are quite obvious. now, there are always plenty of tables available and you can enjoy waiters this undivided attention for reference owners. though things might not look as a group of 50 more of the fact that this system has been introduced across moscow. so people accept it, they come prepared and even say that they have a cure code straight away. but at the same time, it's summer now, and they still prefer to relax on the veranda. the fact that we have some are verandas helps. of course. guests without cure codes can see there. but it's too early to talk about how many customers we've lost because of this policy. we have to wait and see what it shows on the. so this is apparently something both citizens and restaurants will have to become used to police wild cove. it is still raging, and even though a couple of months ago, people were extremely skeptical about getting the job. in the past couple of weeks,
11:15 am
moscow authorities received more than 80000 vaccination request a de fuel the hopes that one day moscow will eventually escape from cove its loss, custody roscoe, archie. from moscow. the delta stray the big picture spreads over 90 countries. now in france, that comes for 20 percent of new cases. over in the u. k, it's almost 100 percent. we spoke to david in the barra. he's the world health organization, special envoy and cove. it about try to manage the risk of the virus at the moment . we call it be 100 percent. certain vaccine use that we have at the moment will protect us against all possible versions of this virus. so therefore, we should be accepting the vaccines will reduce our risk of getting covered quite nicely actually, but they're not going to guarantee. and therefore,
11:16 am
what we're saying is use vaccines as part of your control effort. but also, why not just keep going with the physical distancing the one me to row? why not keep going with ma squaring? why not keep going with really good hygiene? why not keep going with isolation when you're sick? why not keep going with protecting elderly people and those who got other diseases potentially with the back scenes because they are really good protected if there is the perception conveyed to the population of any country that basically we're all going to say we're going to break the 3, break free and we're not going to be troubled by the virus and there's no turning back. it's a bit of a hostage to fortune just supposed, as far as takes advantage of the freedom day, and really spreads an awful lot and you end up with their situation of
11:17 am
a lot of sickness and considerable debt plus distress. and if somebody is running a hotel or running an airline, no running an airport or running a festival, if they can have quick tests at the entrance and then quick daily checkups, which tries to gain for participants go, it would make such a difference. so yes, i'm super keen on a frequent, reliable, inexpensive tax. it just to them talks any regret and it doesn't exist. all right, so the only thing i would like to know and i will kind of when it comes to cuisine each nation and culture boast its own very nice. but no academics think about the french for indulging in foods. the supposedly racist is left about taste in the mouths of goal meson chefs. charlotte to bend ski report. i forget what he sold. she's a perfect ingredient for
11:18 am
a french reconnect. but be careful traveling down on these as i could see labels as a racist, condoning white privilege. french food ways are shaped by white, middle, and upper norms. why christian norms are considered default? much like whiteness itself is often construed as a neutral non racial identity. i. 2 mean, how much about food? white? a seminar presenting to region and go all one. you thought that france was a country with a diverse range of food given the soils is cheeses. it's meats of all kinds. it's cauliflower from brittany and it's melanie from terrace gone. well, no, your kitchen is to blame, and tonight you have to bend in the, in your kitchen, rip off your apron and beat yourself with a whip. i love france is the country that welcomes me as a young refugee 40 years ago. i love it because it is history,
11:19 am
it's literature and i'm sorry to read, see and hear such nonsense. it's hard to imagine how foods like the humble class or even the forget could be consumed as races. but then what do i know? why racist, what is the link between i do the through the link between races, amanda, and the food. we me, she said it has not racist in france, drug cost since just as they're accustomed to margaret in all countries. they're different and it's normal. it's french culture. i don't understand where the problem is. all your points, this food is eaten by black people, white people were chinese indians. italians is the same for everyone. isn't this logic? i could call you a races because your shirt is blue and i have blue eyes. it's looking for a problem that doesn't exist. meanwhile, feel who are university, which is the seminar, has also face criticism for allowing it to pay to play the ratio of, of chance ball invent would whiteness french cuisine is said to be racist and
11:20 am
contribute to i supremacy. but what is stopping us from cutting on subsidies to this researchers to ensure that our traditions are expected. i'm sorry to hear that this school i graduated from, which was once open and excellent. now teaches nativist racialist and totally delusional theories. university has the self proven coaching. coleman, but it's not the 1st time that discussions around food course controversy. we'll see forces inferior minister making sure those who has been shot to walk into a supermarket and seen. i live foods to one community, in my opinion, does how humans you start to form. it's simply calling on ceos to understand that they can contribute to public peace and the fight against prism. not justin, that the issue is giving people plenty to come from appropriation of food,
11:21 am
even threatening, exist only for toys me to raise some question, including whether eating for food could or should be on the cultural appropriation list. whether any of us can find ourselves being branded racist, but simply guessing how big sure chinese indian was from my point of view it's, it's very sad because, well, what is the best thing about chill, chill appropriation anyway? it means that you have like the sense of another culture from i think you can eat or whatever you want. it's our choice. if we like foreign food, no one can stop us from eating it. it's also the most of the time when we go to a chinese or japanese restaurant, way even served by people from those countries. it's normal, especially in a multicultural society. we must be open to all types of cultures. i think that if
11:22 am
it is done with respect, there should be no problem. going to spend a few minutes now focusing on miami rescue work at the side of that collapse. residential building has been halted amid fee is now about the stability as a part of the complex still standing is called the local media. this afternoon. 18 bodies, including 2 children have been recovered from the rebels so far, but nearly a $150.00 still missing rescue efforts threaten to be further hampered to by this tropical storm approaching from the lamp lamps and talking about a fire. the broker, under the rubble also slowed the initial response, and today is raise the alarm 3 years ago about major structural damage and expensive that to the apartment block, recommending mass repairs be carried up to john hardy is got the latest today. there been a number of red flags and a number of warning signs, and what we're hearing is certainly, you know, there are a structural deficiency structural structural degradation,
11:23 am
including some of the supporting columns in the foundation of the building, the champlain towers and south building behind me that were basically cracking that were essentially disintegrating that were corroding because of the salt air. and just over time, this building was built in 1981. and since then, specifically, as noted by the structural engineers report in 2018 or a number of concerning problems, the question is, why weren't they taken care of? there was a 40 year re certification process that was underway. there was roof repair work that was underway and the price tag for all of these things was in excess of $15.00 . $15000000.00. so you know, a big question mark there as this investigation continues. it's really in its infancy, the beginning stages, along with the ongoing investigation and what causes collapse. of course, as you can imagine, investigate or structural engineers inspectors are pouring over all the other buildings in this area, including the other champlain towers, champlain towers, east, and champlain towers north. now, earlier we did go over that area,
11:24 am
please see have a lot of the area or not, but i spoke with several residents, including one resident who wanted to talk off camera. he's a resident champlain towers, east. it was built in 1994 and he said at least quite close to a dozen engineers and inspectors have been there throughout the last week. he said they've been given a big, quote unquote, thumbs up that he sees no reason to leave. others have voluntarily left, they're staying with family friends or been put up by various charitable organization. so these buildings are being looked at very closely. obviously the rules, the regulations and certainly the pass inspections of this building are all coming into play at this point. and just to give you an idea, i'm not sure if we can see this, but maybe andrea can push. and so what you're seeing is the front portion of the champlain towers of south parson, that part the didn't collapse on the other side for the cranes or that's where it pancake the 12 stories. but to show you how quickly people were rescued literally off their balconies. some of those balcony doors remain open. that's been the case
11:25 am
now over the past week. and when the storms come through, it's been the case just about every day. and you can see the blinds basically blowing in the way. and so certainly the search effort does continue. the governor said, no one is going to be left behind, but obviously as a decimal increases. and it's certainly a grim reminder of the catastrophe that occur here. now, a week ago, joan hardy, the reporting from the scene has come on this and speak to the former president of the american society of civil engineers and professor. it's in new orleans university as well, new tase on the line with us. thank you so much for your time today and your expertise. i'm looking at the what those people have to deal with. it's a terrible scene, isn't it? no, 1st off, we're hearing about the storm coming in, and we're also here this afternoon. the people on the work they're not remaining, but of the block a hearing may be movement. noise is, let's talk about that 1st. is there a danger? it could come down if those winds pick up? well, the structure that is still standing is up against the sheer wall structure. so that's the,
11:26 am
that's the part of the structure that actually is designed to handle lateral loads, such as wind loads. but since this building was right next to and part of the, the structures that did collapse, i would say that to be on the safe side, get everybody out. be very careful in your movements around that building. and when the winds pick up, don't have anybody near it's such terrible time for the families at the moment. so many people still missing a yet such a relatively small death toll. so the question is, who else is under there? how many people still accounted for? but i guess as you say, the rescue is enough to pull out if there's any question mark at all about what's happening there. so it's the $1000000.00 question. what went so wrong and so badly wrong? so quickly? yes. failures of this magnitude in a structure that has been occupied definitely for 40 years just don't happen. thank
11:27 am
goodness, very often, it's extremely rare. and so the structural engineering community is extremely interested in finding out in trying to figure out how this building collapsed so that if there is anything that we can learn from these buildings that can and should make changes to our standards that we use in designing future buildings, we will do that with a token, it may be thought so. concrete can see, you know, with a metal expands inside the concrete pillars after time. also initial thoughts about . busy concrete platform where the pool is maybe water drainage wasn't right, but of course has also thoughts about what this bill toner is basically reclaimed. san nate, i move not particularly the stable well, the structure is founded actually on some theory long piling. so these piles go
11:28 am
down below the surface quite a bit. i'm not quite sure how long they are, so that they, that the structure can be founded on soils that are able to, to hold the building up safely. but warnings were made and the warning came with a big bill as well. the people in charge of this apparently were told that the damage, lately had got almost had a control and it was millions to repair that you know, to did, to repair this. why wasn't that past owner? if it was, why wasn't it acted on? well they, they had the condominium association, which is a condominium corporation that owns the building, so each of those unit is separately owned. and so each of the owners are then part owner of the building itself. and so they had, they have a 2018 report by a structural engineer that does not indicate that the,
11:29 am
the corrosion issues would require immediate evacuation, but did indicate that they should be taken care of immediately. and so that was what condominium association viewing getting the financing because this was the big ticket item, getting the financing all in in hand. and also actually the roofing repairs were all were under underway when this failure. ok. have you got any theories about what actually happened to briefly not too technically? how could have gone down like a pancake? yeah. i think that from, from hewing that video, that is from a neighboring building. you see some of the buildings just implode. and from what i understand from folks that are in the demolition arena, it surely looks like the, the lower column which are most heavily loaded. those are the columns that are
11:30 am
holding up the rest of the building above. it looks like some columns may have been compromised, so if the initial failure within the pool areas that might have caused those lower columns to then be more be compromised, they may be, have been impacted by corrosion. and we have the series of cascading failures that ultimately to most of that building down is terrible sight to see as well as how those guys work in there are going to be safe. and with the question marks i can over the remaining bit of tonight. thank you for your time. norma tay, former president of the american society of civil engineers, is get your whole type in there, professor at you will in university do the credit. thank you for your time. you're welcome. and that's what we're talking about. thank you for your time to this is a watching, it's coming up now to 31 minutes past the out.
