the more unmarked graves of indigenous children are found in canada. on the grounds of a former catholic run school, bringing the total to over a 1000 people. it is prompted the prime minister to africa, francis to make amends to the community. i really hope that this time it will lead towards its hope coming home to the canadian soil. an apology apologizing directly highly infectious, delta strain of coven plunges russia into a new wave of the pandemic. moscow makes proof of vaccination to our codes mandatory to be able to get into restaurants. pubs, in cafes. i'm in the capital puts in the system from the test 9 officially inside a code that free i get. get rid of the mask and enough cigarettes,
9:01 pm
microsoft cries, the u. s. government routine, use of gag orders and law enforcement investigations involving the tech giant. ah, i guess who i've direct from our studios in moscow, this is art international. i'm sean thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. there has been yet another gruesome discovery in canada, 182 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, canaday ortiz, alex mcculla, that you 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,
9:02 pm
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, 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, 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 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,
9:03 pm
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 the 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 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, 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
9:04 pm
residential school. my grandmother attended my grandfather attended 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 this hope coming onto the canadian soil and apologizing apologizing directly for the responsibility that the catholic church shares in this
9:05 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 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 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, pope francis has previously apologized for suffering brought about by the church
9:06 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 1900 ninety's with reports citing thousands of boys and girls abused and exploited in schools run by the church and hundreds of babies dying in church, run orphanages and activists against church child abuse, david greenwood 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 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 doubt looks the diocese in canada,
9:07 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, it was almost child care on an industrial scanner. i think the time has come for the states and canada. law enforcement agencies were to get hold of this documentation. it seems as though crimes of been committed. why can't law enforcement in canada get court orders to seize this type of documentation? moscow has launched a major re vaccination campaign with the highly contagious delta strain of covalent dominating new infections. mr. jobs were initially mentally to be given annually, but the, with a current intensity of the pandemic doctors are advising, getting a vaccine top up every 6 months. moscow's mayor says both splitting v and its light variant are suitable. the capitals,
9:08 pm
booster jap drive comes as delta strain infections are surging nationwide with rushes case load more than doubling in recent weeks. it peaked at 23000 daily infections on thursday, and especially grimm day for moscow in particular. 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 to our codes. let's take a closer look at how that works. the codes are supposed to enable someone to get access to certain places to qualify. you need either to be vaccinated, have anti bodies, or be able to present a negative p c r test. that is no more than 3 days old ortiz constantine arose. cough 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 a couple of places here together. we started off with one of the most popular
9:09 pm
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 be, this is going to be the problem. there was a line outside 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 knowing door dining was allowed regardless of vaccination status. when you go, when you have a value for your, for them, and you said a berkeley,
9:10 pm
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 our more for them this time this staff did have the necessary equipment, which is just a regular smartphone by the way. but there's something weird happened. mike, you are 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 password, it 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 going to keep looking for the right spot. and finally,
9:11 pm
we managed to get through the 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, right? that's visually 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, 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 obvious. now,
9:12 pm
there are always plenty of tables available and you can enjoy waiters this undivided attention for reference owners, though things might not look as google. the system was 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 lease 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.
9:13 pm
custody roscoe archie from moscow. the delta strain has spreaded to over 90 countries in france. it accounts for a 5th of new cases while in the u. k. just close to 100 percent. we spoke to david in to borrow the world health organizations, special envoy to coven, about how to manage the risk of the virus. as it stands, we call it be 100 percent certain that the vaccine use that we have a 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, what we're saying is huge vaccines as part of your control effort. but also,
9:14 pm
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 2 teachers 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 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 fought to just suppose this virus takes advantage of the freedom day and really spreads an awful lot and you end up with a situation of a lot of sickness and considerable debt plus distress.
9:15 pm
and if somebody is running a hotel 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 a difference. so yes, i'm super keen on a frequent, reliable, inexpensive tract it just to them talks any regret and it doesn't exist. microsoft has revealed that secrecy orders have become routine and investigations by us. law enforcement, the company alone receives as many as 10 every day. the reason to keep subpoenas and warrants secret in ongoing investigations or us correspondent k them up and picks up the story. microsoft vice president for customer security and trust tom bert has testified before congress about the use of the gag orders and secrecy orders by the u. s, department of justice. this are,
9:16 pm
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, 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
9:17 pm
and the privacy of their sources. those who hand over information risk having the u . s. 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 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 law enforcement wanted to secretly search your physical office, they had to meet the heightened standards required to get a so called speak and peek warrant. however, today, if 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
9:18 pm
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 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 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. investigative journalist, dave linder,
9:19 pm
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, 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 sort of getting a state of mind where, where you're saying you can do it and the 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,
9:20 pm
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 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. is known that engineers raised the alarm 3 years ago about the major structural damage affecting the building, recommending mass repairs be carried out. or chief john hardy filed this report from the near the scene. there been a number of red flags and a number of warning signs, and what we're hearing is certainly, you know,
9:21 pm
the url 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 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, investigator structural engineers inspectors are pouring over all the other buildings in this area, including the other champlain towers, champlain towers,
9:22 pm
east, and champlain towers north. now, earlier we did go over that area, 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 passive sections of this building are all coming into play at this point. and just to give you an idea, i'm not sure if we could 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 a pancake to 12 stories. but to show you how quickly people were rescued, literally,
9:23 pm
author 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 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, you 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. she 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
9:24 pm
what condominium association of doing, getting the financing because this was the big ticket item, getting the financing all in in hand 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 lower columns, 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 a series of test stating failures that ultimately to most of that building down
9:25 pm
when it comes to cuisine, each nation and culture, of course, both their own. but now academics have singled out the french for indulging in foods that are supposedly racist, that has left a bad taste in the mouths of cor mays and a chef says are to show you been ski, takes us through the story. i get why fi, so she's packed a perfect ingredient for a french connect, 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 class norms. why christian norms are considered default, much like whiteness itself is often construed as a neutral non racial identity. i. 2 mean, give me about food, why 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
9:26 pm
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, cassim, if he, sir, it's literature and i'm sorry to read. see, and hear such nonsense. it's hard to imagine how food like the course or even the forget could be consumed as races. but then what do i know? why racist? what is the link between i do not see the link between races, amanda and the food. we me, she said it is not racist in france. develop cost sense just as there are customs in margaret and all countries. they're different and it's normal. it's french culture. i don't understand where the problem is. all your food is eaten by black people. white people with chinese indians. italians is the same for everyone. isn't
9:27 pm
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, feels university which hell the seminar has also pre criticism for allowing it to pay to play the racialist of the sport invent would whiteness french cuisine is said to be racist and contribute to white supremacy. but what is stopping us from cutting all subsidies to this researchers to ensure that our traditions are respected. 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 self proven coaching home and it's not the 1st time that discussions around the food course traverse. the last day for us is inferior minister admitted to russia who has been shocked to walk
9:28 pm
into a supermarket and see. and i live foods to one community, in my opinion, does how community start to form it simply calling on ceos to understand that they can contribute to public peace. and the fight against prism not just in front of the issue is giving people plenty. she comes from appropriation of food, even threatening this thing for me to be raised quite to including whether eating for foods could or should be on the cultural appropriation list, whether any of us can find out being branded racist. but simply getting chinese indian was from my point of view it's, it's very sad because, well, what is the best thing about cultural appropriation anyway?
9:29 pm
it means that you have like the sense of another culture from i think we 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 all come from 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 the multicultural society. we must be open to all types of cultures. i think that if it is done with respect, there should be no problem. at this hour, i will be back in, let's say, 30 minutes with another full special extra news. this is our international stay with me. the join me every thursday on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess on the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me
9:30 pm
. provisional, my back on i want, this is understood. i like, obviously lucky you lucky but i got your so you'll have a lost his bus because i just got the problem. you just got to go. we just have to be on my way, my phone my those yesterday, but i miss it. so i was just, you know, put it with you or not my pull up. i got almost what i'm already whatever sped up. i read me just go to me. i mean, it was, i don't know if we're going to go to lunch. i went up and i really just don't get it until then it's fitted to chantelle. that one of this, but i was like, i say this is kim. i'm on my side and we can go to kind of all my just part of the 30. yes. at west 3 and he thought.
