and enough secrets, microsoft decries the u. s. government routine use of gag orders in law enforcement investigations involving the tech giant ah, broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our 2 international. i'm sean thomas. certainly glad to have with us. now, there has been yet 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. the discoveries have brought shame on the countries. kennedy ortiz, lexi mcculler, 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
8:02 pm
unmarked graves that adds to the initial finding, which happen 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, 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, 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,
8:03 pm
arms and put into these 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 and then a 90 to 100 percent of these children. this is unbelievable suffered either from physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, the 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. every 1st nation person is feeling the impact of the
8:04 pm
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 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 the pope coming onto the canadian soil and apologizing apologizing directly for the responsibility that the catholic church shares in this
8:05 pm
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 burg, 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 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 canada day. here, there is a movement not to celebrate. hopefully, canada will do more. and that's exactly what canadians are demanding. at this point, po francis has previously apologized for suffering and brought about by the church
8:06 pm
during a visit to ireland in 2018, he asked for forgiveness for the churches abuse of power and for praying on children. stories of wrong doing by the catholic church had been mounting in ireland since the $900.00 ninety's with reports of citing thousands of boys and girls abused and exploited in schools run by the church and hundreds of babies dying and church run orphanages and activists against church and child abuse, david greenwich says rome hasn't shown itself to be cooperative when undergoing this and similar investigations. 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 ireland that haven't had a, a proper investigation into the activities of, of 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've very much, doubtless, the diocese in canada,
8:07 pm
and we'll call wright and help with providing documentation unless it's before it was the state in the 1st place. the place children by it was almost child care on an industrial scale. i think the time has come for the states and canada law for some agencies to get hold of this documentation. it seems as though crimes have been committed. why can't law enforcement in canada court orders to seize this type of documentation? moscow has launched a major re vaccination campaign with the highly contagious delta strain of coven dominating new infections. now, booster jobs were initially meant to be given annually. but with the current intensity of the pandemic, doctors are advising. getting evac seen top up every 6 months. moscow's mayor says splitting the v and its light variant nor suitable
8:08 pm
a capitals booster jab drive comes as delta strain. infections are surging nationwide with moss, with rushes case load more than doubling in recent weeks. now, pete, at 23000 daily infections on thursday, and especially grim day for moscow, particularly. so far it has registered more than 7 and a half 1000 cases. now the spike has prompted the city to introduce a system of q r code. now let's take a look at how that works. the codes are supposed to enable someone to get access to certain places to qualify. you need to either be vaccinated, have antibodies or people to present a negative p, c r test. that is no more than 3 days. old ortiz constantine ross got put his up to the test for us. this is my q r code. something party goers now can't live without in 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
8:09 pm
a couple of places here together. i would start off with one of the most popular flights in my neighborhood, and usually have lots of customers all day long. i also brought my son along. he hasn't been vaccinated, and he hasn't had coven, so he doesn't have a q r code. so we're going to be, 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 in new york. what hold on for them? well, 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, when you have a value for your, for them, and you said it apparently not every
8:10 pm
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 that. 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 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 a terrace. bottom line is that we were denied to dining at the 2nd place this
8:11 pm
morning. so i'm going to keep looking for the right spot. and finally, we managed to get through at this 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 and 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, re did there to, i think that we are the only customers at the moment. i don't, there are 2 more people out there. but otherwise, it's pretty empty for vaccinated customers. the immediate benefits are quite
8:12 pm
obvious. now there are always plenty of tables available, and you can enjoy waiters this undivided attention for restaurant owners though. things might not look as if it came with 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, i guess without cure code 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 up on the. so this is apparently something both citizens and restaurants will have to become used to least 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,
8:13 pm
custody roscoe, archie. from moscow. the delta strain has spread into over 90 countries in france. it accounts for a 5th of new cases, while in the u. k. it's close to 100 percent. we spoke to david navarro, the world health organizations, special envoy on cove, it about how to manage the risk of the virus. as it stands. we call b 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 cobit 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,
8:14 pm
why not just keep going with the physical distance in 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? 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 far as 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.
8:15 pm
and if somebody is running a hotel or running an airline, or 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 a difference. so yes, so i'm super keen on frequent reliable, inexpensive tests is just to them talks any granite and it doesn't exist still ahead in the program. 18 people are now confirm dead. following last week, the apartment block could collapse in miami rescue work at the site has now resumed after earlier fears about the stability of the remaining structure. that so much more after the short break i
8:16 pm
everything we associate with modern life has been digitalized. in fact, we live within ecosystems created by big tech. they decide what we can see, what we can buy, and even what we can say. the systems no longer serve us, they actually control us. is there a way out from this growing dystopian? i me ah ah, i use
8:17 pm
the welcome back. this is already in traditional the microsoft has revealed that 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 subpoenas and warrant secret in ongoing investigations or us corresponding kill him up and picks up the story. 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,
8:18 pm
microsoft receives on average, 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,
8:19 pm
at this point from what we understand was microsoft and apple that had been cooperating with the u. s. department of justice. and we now have microsoft 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 boilerplate warrant 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 us government could then be informed
8:20 pm
of it, that it would not be a secret or gag order that they would find out. their information had been handed 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 angel and merkle was being spied upon. that came out in 2013, and that there has been an increase in 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. investigative journalist, dave, linda told us how something that was meant to be an exception has seemingly become the rule. it's pretty standard practice that when you know, when you allow something like this,
8:21 pm
that's transgression against rights that you previously considered to be sacrosanct . you let them go for some specific person purpose and the, in our case it's been mostly since 911. 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 have been the rules of that and what you do that you're sort of getting a state of mind where, where you're saying you could do it and police are saying, oh, 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 that 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 out the side
8:22 pm
of the residential building. that collapse last week in miami has now been resumed . it was halted earlier over, concerns about the stability of the remaining structure rescue efforts. though threatened to be further hampered by a tropical storm approaching from the atlantic, a fire that broke out under the debris also slowed the initial response. 18 bodies, including 2 children have been recovered from the rebels so far, but nearly 150 people are still missing. it is known that engineers raised the alarm 3 years ago about major structural damage affecting the building, recommending mass repairs be carried out. our cheese john hardy, filed this report from you, the scene 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
8:23 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 were they taking 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 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 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. he's
8:24 pm
a resident champlain towers feast. 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, the south part, that part didn't collapse on the other side for 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,
8:25 pm
the governor 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 the disaster. failures of this magnitude in a structure that has been occupied successfully for 40 years. just don't happen saying goodness, very often, it's extremely rare condominium association, they have a 2018 report by a structural engineer that does not indicate that the the corrosion issues would require a meeting that way she can, but did indicate that they should be taken care of immediately and so that was what condominium association of doing, getting the financing because this was a big ticket item, getting the financing all in in hand from,
8:26 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, the lower 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 areas that might have caused those lower columns to then be more to be compromised, they may be, have been impacted by corrosion. we have the series of test stating failures that ultimately took most of that building down or that does it for me this hour. i will be back in about 33 and a half minutes with another full 1st look at your new news or to international stay with me. i
8:27 pm
choose to imagine picking up a future textbook on the early years of the 21st century. what other chapters called gun violence school shootings, homelessness. first, it was my job, then it was my family. 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 all i end up doing is testing the road to the american dream, paved with dead refugees at the very idealized image of the older america make americans look past the death that happened every single day. this is a modern history of the usa. my america on r t the

this is room bus, the one visit show you can't afford to miss. i'm rachel levins, in washington coming up microsoft reveals just how often the u. s. government submit data request for american records, and how much of it is being carried out in secret. we'll discuss plot. a group of the world's most powerful oil producers meet to determine if they will pull back on production costs in the coming week. then b and c, devil a is backing on and allowing student athletes to sign endorsement deals. so the 1st time we'll take a look at how the massive change will impact the world of code for it. we have a lot to get through. so let's get started. one of microsoft top executives is now
8:29 pm
speaking out and revealing just how often the u. s. government request the records of their customers. and how much of it is done in secret. this as the relationship between law enforcement and big tech, along with the privacy concerns at present, continues to be a topic of debate on capital hill. our chief trinity chavez has the latest. many americans are in shock. so find out that federal prosecutors have requested data on thousands of americans. the news comes just weeks after justice department, prosecutors obtained phone records belonging to not only journalists, the members of congress and staffers, the 21st century federal prosecutors no longer need to show up to your office. they just need to raid your virtual office. they do not have to subpoena journalist directly, they just need to go to the cloud today. u. s. federal law enforcement agencies facing fierce backlash for secretly pursuing personal data up americans across the country with so called secrecy orders, orders that are designed to prevent disclosure of new inventions and technologies
8:30 pm
that in the opinion of selected federal agencies present a possible threat to national security of the united states 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. speaking to members of sherry house committee on wednesday, microsoft corporate vice president for customer security and trust tom. bert said that in recent years, federal law enforcement officials have presented the company with 24023500 secrecy orders in a year or about 7 a day. secrecy orders are too often used for routine investigations based on a cursory assertion that the government has met a statutory burden. the justice department's own template does not even require facts justifying the need for secrecy. instead, the template merely asserts that any disclosure would seriously jeopardize the.
