[000:00:00;00] the headline stories this or more on mark graves of indigenous children are found in canada on the grounds of a former catholic school, bringing the total to over a 1000 people. it prompted the prime minister to last hope for it to make amends to that community. i really hope that this time it will lead towards hope coming onto the canadian soil and apology apologizing directly. also ahead as a highly infectious delta strain of covert and plunges russia into a new wave of the pandemic. moscow make proof of bucks and they shouldn't queue our

codes mandatory to be able to get into restaurants. how phase and pumps are man in the capital part of the system to the test. bind officially inside a cobit free. i get get rid of the mask. and enough secrets, microsoft decries the u. s. government routine use of gag orders and law enforcement investigations involving the tech john ah, wherever you're counting the program from today. welcome to moscow onto the news r and r t. i'm, you know, we'll get to our top story. there's been yet another gruesome discovery in canada, 182 unmarked. indigenous graves have been fine close to
6:02 pm
a former catholic school in the province of british columbia. the discoveries have brought shame. now the countries calendar de r t z alex mahalo, which can tell us more discovery after discovery. the latest one was on one's day 182 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 candle. oops, british columbia at another residential school of 215 people as young as 3 years old in mon, mark grace, and then of course the scotch on which was the biggest find so far, 751 people. so you add all these numbers up over a 1000 people found, but we have over 130 schools like this across canada. ah, you learn not trying. you just get harder. and yeah,
6:03 pm
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. the program started in the late 18 hundreds and lasted 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 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 abuse that we found at these schools was absolutely mind blowing. i just have to read something for you quickly. this is at 1900. oh, $7.00 report for the department of indian affairs is called the bryce report, documented 40 to 60 percent mortality rate in the schools mostly of tuberculosis
6:04 pm
and then a 90 to 100 percent of these children. this is unbelievable, suffered either from physical, emotional or sexual abuse it the genocide and you look at that, 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. every 1st nation person is feeling the impact of the residential school. my grandmother attended my grandfather attended to. thankfully, my mother didn't have to attend, but she still feels the impact on it on a daily basis. we still have rates of 80 percent abuse on these 1st nations because of this legacy left behind by these churches at the canadian government, which funded all of these programs. 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
6:05 pm
a cultural genocide. they did very little about it up to now. now people are demanding the prime minister. do something about it and the prime minister, as well as indigenous communities, are demanding an apology from the catholic church. 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 the churches are being burned down on need of communities and close to residential schools. we've heard of 5 in british columbia to and berta at one all the way at the other side of the country. it nova scotia. ah, ah. the prime minister has said that destroying places
6:06 pm
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. this is candidate here. there is a movement not to celebrate. hopefully, canada will do more. and that's exactly what canadians are demanding. at this point . will pope france's house previously apologize for suffering brought about by the church during a visit to ireland in 2018. he asked for forgiveness for the church as a piece of power for praying on children. stories of wrong doing by the catholic church has been mounting in ireland since the 1900 ninety's with report citing thousands of boys and girls abused unexplored to the schools run by the church. and hundreds of babies dying and church run orphanages and activists against church child abuse. david greenwood, these room hasn't shown itself to be cooperative when undergoing this and similar
6:07 pm
investigation. i'm not sure whether i an apology from the pope really goes very far. i think there is still a lot of anger within the population of island that haven't had a, a proper investigation into the activities of the parish priests. and what has happened at the parish level, the culture of the catholic church is to keep everything hidden, to keep everything in house. i very much, doubtless, the diocese in canada and will call fright and help with provide documentation unless it will be forced to. it was a state in the 1st place, the place children, but it was almost child care on an industrial scale. i think the time has come for the states and canada. lloyd, for the agencies were to get hold of this documentation. it seems as though crimes have been committed. why can't law enforcement in canada get court orders to seize
6:08 pm
this type of documentation? moscow has launched a major re vaccination campaign with the highly contagious delta strain of cobra dominating new infections. booster jobs were initially meant to be given annually, but with the current intensity of the pan mac doctors are advising a fresh shot every 6 months. moscow's mercies, both sputnik v, it's library and are suitable for the capital booster job dr. comes as delta strain infections are surging nationwide, with russia case load more than doubling in recent weeks. it peaked 23000 daily infections on thursday, a particularly grim day for moscow in particular. so far it registered more than 7 and a half 1000 cases. willis spike has prompted the city to introduce a system of q r codes. we can take a look at our news wall here and what it means,
6:09 pm
how it works, except the codes are supposed to enable someone to get access to certain places not to qualify. and this is a criteria you need to be either vaccinated, have anti bodies, or be able to present a negative p c r test. that is no more than 3 days old r t constantine rush, cause put his up to the test for us. 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 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 places. 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
6:10 pm
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 work. can you hold on while it turned out my local fast food restaurant was serving, take away orders only no indoor dining, was allowed regardless of vaccination status. when you go and you pay for them, and you said it apparently 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 what more than that for them. this time the staff did have the necessary equipment, which is just
6:11 pm
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 that's something else came up in moscow. you need to show your vaccination certificate it along with an id. i had a expert on me, but my wife had only a drivers license. even though having a password is not a rule, we were denied indoors service. they only let us sit outside on a terrace. bottom line is that we were denied to dining at the 2nd place this morning. so i'm gonna keep looking for the right spot. and finally, we managed to get through the at this turkish restaurant. everything went on without
6:12 pm
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 free zone. and i can't 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 pretty deserted. i think that we are the only customers at the moment. 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 where i'm divided attention for reference owners though. things might not look as if it was the fact that this system has been introduced across moscow. so people accept it, they come prepared and even say that they have
6:13 pm
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. guest without cure codes, concede there, but it's too early to talk about how many customers were lost because of this policy. we have to wait and see what it shows up 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, 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 raska r t from moscow. well, the name of delta strain, how spread over 90 countries and from said a cons for a 5th. the new cases on the u. k, it's close to 100 percent. we spoke to david and, and borrow the world health organization,
6:14 pm
special envoy and cobit about how to manage the risk of, of virus. we can be 100 percent. certain the 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 coven, quite honestly, actually box. they're not going to guarantee. and therefore, what we're saying is huge 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 mar, squaring, why not keep going with really good hygiene? why not keep going with isolation when you're sick?
6:15 pm
why not keep going with protecting elderly people and those who got other diseases potentially with the back scenes because they are really good protective. 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 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 suppose this virus takes advantage of the freedom day and really spreads an awful lot and you end up with their situation of a lot of sickness and considerable debt plus distress. and if somebody is running a towel or running an airline, no running an airport or running a festival, if day you can have quick tests at the entrance and then quick daily, checkups will test again for participants go, it would make such
6:16 pm
a difference. so yes, i'm super keen on frequent, reliable, inexpensive tax. it just to them talks any that solely granted and it doesn't exist . this is our t international still ahead 8 teen people are now confirmed, said folding. last week's apartment block lamps in miami. work off the site has no resumed after earlier fears about the stability of the remaining structure. story on more for you to the break. the ah, is your media a reflection of reality? the, in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson lation,
6:17 pm
whole community. are you going the right way or are you being somewhere direct? what is truth? his faith in the world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths. will remain in the shallows. i 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 news.
6:18 pm
ah, let's start by, by talking tech. microsoft has revealed about secrecy. orders have become routine in investigations by us. law enforcement, the company alone receives as many as 10 every day. the reason to keep the penis on war in secret and ongoing investigations or us corresponding kill up moping can tell us more. microsoft vice president for customer security and trust tom bert has testified before congress about the use of gag orders and secrecy orders by the u. s. department of justice. this are, these are orders essentially where the tech companies are asked to hand over the data. the private information of journalists, politicians, as well as ordinary citizens. now, according to tom berg, microsoft receives, on average,
6:19 pm
around $2400.00 to $3500.00 such orders every year that comes out to roughly $7.00 to $10.00 such orders per day. here's some of what he said. most shocking is just how routine secrecy orders have become when law enforcement targets and americans e mail text messages or other sensitive data stored in the cloud. now, according to what was testified, the trump era department of justice was acquiring the information of journalists because it was investigating potential links of classified information that were going on. now this presents a problem because it prevents journalists from being able to promise the security and the privacy of their sources. those who hand over information risk having the us government find out that they did it. and those who hand over classified information put themselves in danger. now, at this point from what we understand was microsoft and apple that have been cooperating with the u. s. department of justice. and we now have microsoft
6:20 pm
stepping up and calling for big reforms in these secret gag orders and how they are conducted. here's some of what we heard from tom bert. if one unfortunately, wanted to secretly search your physical office, it had to meet the heightened standards required to get a so called speak and peek warrant. however, today a law enforcement wants to secretly search your virtual office in the cloud. they just serve a boiler worn and secrecy order on your cloud provider that prevents notice to you . microsoft now calls for there to be a 90 day limit on the gag orders. it also called for the gag orders to be the exception rather than the rule when acquiring information. and they would like that after 90 days, the person whose data has been received by the u. s. government could then be informed of it that it would not be a secret or gag order that they would find out their information had been handed
6:21 pm
over at least 90 days afterwards. now it's important to note that while we are hearing revelations about what went on during the trump administration, people are wondering how things will change during the biden administration. there has been quite a bit of distrust among the people of the united states and the people of western european countries and their governments. we know about the tapping of angela merkel phone and the revelations about how angela merkle was being spied upon. that came out in 2013, and that there has been an increasing gap between europe and the united states. so as microsoft and other tech companies come forward with their proposed reforms, we shall see how this situation develops, kill him up and taking us through that. i also spoke to investigative journalist dave lind, or who told us something that was meant to be an exception of seemingly become the rule. it's a pretty standard practice that when you know, when you allow something like this transgression against rates that you previously
6:22 pm
considered to be sacrosanct, you let them go for some specific person purpose. and the, in our case it's been mostly since $911.00. you know, people are, were panicked about terrorism for a long time. and so they said, well, i guess you know, to, to find out about terrorism. we need to bend the rules of that. and what you do that you sort of get in a state of mind where, where you're saying you can do it and police are saying, oh, if we can do that, you know what we should be able to also protect people against, you know, whatever other possible threat there is in to their financial safety or whatever and it just keeps growing. you know, you find another reason, another reason and people eventually start saying, well this is the norm. this is the way it is, and it isn't the way it is, or it wasn't the way it was. rescue work at the sides of the residential
6:23 pm
building. the collapse last week in miami has no just being resumed. it was halted earlier over concerns about the stability of the remaining structure rescue efforts to threaten to be further hampered by a tropical storm approaching from the atlantic ocean. a fire broke out under the bree, also slowed the initial response. 18 bodies including 2 children out, been recovered from the rebels so far, but nearly 150 people are still missing. it's no, not engineers. raise the alarm 3 years ago. but major structural damage affecting the building, recommending mass repairs be carried out, or teach on how he filed us this report from near the see. there been a number of red flags and a number of warning signs. and what we're hearing is certainly, you know, the earl is structural deficiency struggling structural degradation, 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
6:24 pm
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 $1560000000.00. so you know, a big question, mark fair 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 other champlain towers, champlain towers, east, and champlain towers north. now, earlier we did go over that area, please see you have a lot of the area or not. but i spoke with several residents, including one resident who wanted to talk off camera and he's a resident champlain towers,
6:25 pm
east. it was built in 1994 and he said at least quite close to a dozen engineers and inspectors had 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 parts, the parts that didn't collapse on the other side, or the cranes or that's where a pancake to 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 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
6:26 pm
said, no one is going to be left behind, but obviously as a decimal increases and is certainly a grim reminder of the catastrophe about a career. now, a week ago we got the thoughts of a former head of the american society of civil engineers as to what could have led to that disaster failures of this magnitude in a structure that has been occupied successfully for 40 years. just don't happen. thank goodness, very often it's extremely rare. she condominium association, they have a 2018 report by a structural engineer that does not indicate that the the corrosion issues would require immediate evacuation, but did indicate that they should be taken care of immediately. and so that was what the condominium association of doing getting the financing because this was a big ticket item, getting the financing all in hand from,
6:27 pm
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 most column which are the most heavily loaded. those are the columns, including above, it looks like some columns may have been compromised. so if the initial failure within the pool area that might have caused those lower columns to then be more to be compromised, they may be, have been impacted by corrosion. we have a series of test stating failures that ultimately to most of that building down. well, that is our lot for no, but don't go too far more great programs get their starting moments find out what's an offer wherever you are today. after the break.
6:28 pm
ah, imagine picking up a future textbook on the early years of the 21st century. what other chapters called gun violence school shootings, homelessness 1st, it was my job and then it was my sampled. didn't was my savings. i have nothing. i have nothing and it's not like i don't try. i look for resources, i look for jobs, i look for everything i can to make this pass. and i end up doing testing the road to the american dream, paved with dead refugees at this very idealized image of the older america, native americans look past the death that happened every single day. this is a modern history of the usa america on our

t ah, the the, the, me welcome to the alex, i mean sure. where in the run up to the, to kill lympics. we focus on the greatest race of all the contests between the vaccines undivided, and we are better to introduce the subject than i said, the london science museum currently passed into service as a national health service vaccination center. a demonstration of the practical application of scientific achievement at night seems reasonably clear that in the
6:30 pm
country for the u. k. science has the upper hand entirely signed to the any vaccination program. the vaccines happened thought, divide it, which is still running rampant, but they do stop most people getting studiously unwell and keeps them out of indeed the success of any chance and running vaccination compared to the tedious deficiencies of the privatised english, past and chaste system as something which side to job westminster, incoming hell, texas may wish to ponder, as he considers a massive issue of reform or social care profession. the u. k. may be in the finishing state of beating the violence, but internationally human kinds of bailey, i of the starting walks. last month and the ideal accessing of carpet been cornwall, the g 7 liter tailed, a worldwide initiative to provide vaccines for all. however, it was immediately dismissed as
