the moon, the valleys and statues topo kinda then when said sighing through the discovery the remains of over a 1000 children and former indigenous residential schools run by the catholic church. other news, microsoft admits the us lo enforcement secretly requesting the data of its customers up to 10 times a day. the parents of teenage motorcyclist hurry done to testify in a u. s. court against their sons, alleged killer family spokes person, hoping that the criminal justice system will eventually prevail. so we know the power to just clear up the process. the suffering is only intensified and it's time
4:01 am
to get this all done. ah, 11 i what most good time this friday morning. the 2nd of july from us here it out into national is kevin with you? very good morning. then. so 1st you heard this man to fear in canada now to the discovery of the remains of over a 1000 children at former indigenous residential schools. several cities even canceled canada yesterday over it. in winnie peg statues of queen victoria and clueless with a 2nd with toppled and defaced outside the provincial legislature. the royals are seen as representative of the country's colonial passed red paint seen all over the fallen statue. alex mcculla bitch looks at where the story started.
4:02 am
discovery after discovery, the latest one was on one stay 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 you can loops 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 one, which was the biggest find so far, $751.00 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
4:03 am
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, 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,
4:04 am
suffered either from physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. we will 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. 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 on to 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
4:05 am
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 candidate here, there was a movement not to celebrate. hopefully, canada will do more. and that's exactly what canadians are demanding. at this point . at least 6 churches across western canada recently being left badly damaged or totally destroyed by fire police treating those incidents a suspicious. they say i think it could even be arson. meantime the head of the catholic church, pope francis's previously apologize. of course,
4:06 am
for the suffering that had been inflicted elsewhere during the visit to ireland, back in 2018 hours for forgiveness at the time for the church, his abusive power of praying on children activities. david greenwood telling us rome hasn't showed itself to be cooperative though. what undergoing this and similar investigations in the past? 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's absolutely false to it. was the state in the 1st place,
4:07 am
the place children, but it was almost child care on an industrial scale. i think the time has come for the states and canada. the lawyer forced the agency 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 this type of documentation? microsoft has revealed the u. s. law enforcement has been secretly asking for the data with customers up to 10 times a day. the tech john senior executive complaining that the procedures become a routine source of information for authorities next and outside. trinity chavez reports on it. many americans are in shock to 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, but also members of congress and staffers. 21st century federal prosecutors no
4:08 am
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. americans across the country with so called secrecy orders, orders that are designed to prevent disclosure of new inventions and technologies 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 tech cross to 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
4:09 am
facts justifying the need for secrecy. instead, the template merely asserts that any disclosure would seriously jeopardize the investigation for a variety of boilerplate reasons. this as the relationship with some major tech companies and law enforcement agencies in the u. s. have garnered fear scrutiny and recent weeks following news justice department, prosecutors obtain phone records belonging to not only journalists, but also members of congress and staffers as a part of leak investigation, rather than providing americans as meaningful notice that their private electronic records are being accessed in a criminal investigation department hides behind its ability to as 3rd party provide. it is directly they deny american citizens as companies and institutions their basic day in court. and instead they gather their evidence entirely in secret . meantime, some lawmakers are calling for reforms to guard against a future overreach by justice department, prosecutors, and idea that was expressed both by democrats and republicans on the house
4:10 am
judiciary committee reporting in new york, trinity chavez, r t investigative journalist. now t has been sworn compared stored personal day to the private letters, which he said shouldn't be accessed unless there's a police warrant to do so. i think the biggest thing is, is that the cloud computing and cloud storage services, data storage for messaging, text messages for the on social networks as well as your email cloud services all need to be treated like in your home. so if you walk into someone's home as a federal agent, you can't just go through all the stuff that they have in their drawers and open up their desk and read whatever they've written down, right? you have to have a warrant to do that. when all of these cases there should be required under the law, a warrant from a judge that is issued because there is evidence of wrongdoing in some way. what's been happening here for several years now. what we're seeing take place is all of these law enforcement agencies are literally asking as if they can just with
4:11 am
blanket power, go in and search through all of your private communications because they're on these cloud services. they don't have to access you directly. they go straight to microsoft, they go straight to amazon, and a w s. they go straight to apple and they say, show us what's being stored on the cloud. we have a right to see it. and then the judge also goes along with that by saying you as an individual don't have the right to know. so we'll put it under a gag order. that's what you need to change, treat cloud services, treat data storage as if it is the property of the user, not the property of big tech latest. now a long running story, the parents of a teenager allegedly killed in the u. k. but the wife of an american diplomat to testify now to hearing on the case in the united states. 19 year old hurry done was killed almost 2 years ago in a fatal car crash. i've side a u. s. military base in britain since then, his families tried to bring the driver unsecurely to justice. she was charged with causing death by dangerous driving. but as the wife of an american intelligence
4:12 am
officer, she then used diplomatic immunity to flee the country. is what the boy's mother said about travelling to the us. our whole family are suffering and townsley, but to be honest, we would try to the end of the earth and back if that is what it takes our case all along. as you don't get to kill somebody and walk away, she's a knowledge that she killed harry, but she's innocent of the charges, as you say, she's charged with causing a dangerous right. and you know, we just want her to get to the starting blog of the english justice system. what happens after that bill victims of the crime. we have very little influence in and we will simply just be proud of the work that we did to get her to the starting bar and 2 others. the lawyers, the judges, the jury to then determine the outcome. so his parents know how to travel to the us because next tradition request was rejected by the state department. nevertheless, they're grateful. they say to the court of the jania for allowing the civil claim
4:13 am
to proceed. the family spokesperson says that paving the way to justice must be accountability, and i know they did. the crown prosecution service in london are busy working through the various options at the moment. so we know the path to justice has been clear. the criminal sense were incredibly grateful for that. i would just issue another feel to the authorities about london in washington. you know that speed up the process, the suffering is only intensifying and it's time to get this. all done in this case continues to be extraordinary. and all sentences of the word, but as always, you know, they will tell the truth and it's talking about harry is talking about the consequences that they suffered under their mental illness. that they're all suffering terribly from. and, you know, that's what it's about. so it's about the truth and it's simple and you know, i think they've been incredible just getting here and i'm sure they will put one foot in front of the other. i have always done and, and overcome this hurdle like they've done for almost the last 2 years new without
4:14 am
international this friday. thanks for it to still ahead. the u. s. political system is drone and mistrust. many americans, that issues, for instance, like the migrant crisis, will be sold anytime soon because of too much bickering between those politicians live from. i will these h q in moscow to talk about it after the break. the 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? when i would chose the wrong?
4:15 am
why don't just don't the room yes, to shape out disdain. because the after an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves well, depart. we choose to look for common ground in the well what we've been reporting for a few years, money printing leads to inflation. this is about becoming a big problem for central banks around the world. only one central bank on the world is actually taking it on board and proactively dealing with the issue. we'll get to that mom and the i good morning. so a better political system when a future with more unity,
4:16 am
americans to believe those promises anymore it's because of recent surveys are suggesting that less than a quarter in the us have hope of those ambitions becoming a reality anytime soon. instead of solving pressing issues like the migrant crisis policy makers, they think too busy squabbling among themselves, much more gusty of explains more with the scarred years to go until america's 250 s and the verses. spirits on soar in the political system of the us once the pride and joy of the nation. envy of the world is no longer that less than half of americans pulled recently, hold out hope for a better future, even less in a better political system. that's telling, isn't it? when a former president drives to the border, just a mark how badly his successor has buckled the job. because what they're doing is opening their prisons and prisoners, murder is human traffickers. all of these people,
4:17 am
drug dealers are coming back into our country. if you remember the c n n reporter, what did you do? murder. and she goes, what? murder. and they immediately turned off the camera. that's exactly why texas is stepping up and doing a job that is truly the federal government's job. a job that you did, but the job that the by the ministration is completely failing us on these mockery is the republicans hating back at vice president carmella. has this trip to the border where she tried to blame the immigration crisis, which is now a level of unseen and decades on trump, we inherited a tough situation. we have looked at a system where people have been in housing conditions on many years. i've been silent, system medicine, broken and that needs to be reconstructed and done in 5 months. we've made progress, but there's still much more work to be done. which flies in the face of fact,
4:18 am
the button administration has arrested more my goods, which they heaped praise on during the elections than trumpet in any month of his presidency, almost 200000 rested. it may alone biden. at one point hadn't heard more kids in detention camps. 22000, then trump ever did. i think they should go back to their home countries. why, why and like everybody else. so what's happening right now is a lot in the face of those people who are following the law. the crime shows that people can go to sleep at night. and bill cycle care, because with a lot of illegals coming across the border, this is not your whole lot of the animals that are close in their gaping, we have good people come in and we have bad people. but i'll tell you what, some of them are just they're going to wind up when you're george the board that situation, these, the pizza, me,
4:19 am
the crisis at the heart of america. 2 sides to completely different divisions. and the complete this regard for the views of others. and with every year the divide running through america and americans grows. the president's and congressmen deficient that governors and sponsors all shouts over each other loudly and repeatedly that only they can heal america, which americans evidently don't by controversial business. when alex sob is facing extradition to the us on money laundering charges after cape verde grow to the us request to send him the he that is a colombian born business. one who's reported to be the right hand of the venezuelan president nicholas madeira. the us claim, solve engaged in a corrupt network to help with 0 profit from food imports and distribution. he's kellum open spoke to some lawyer who says he shouldn't face extradition. now
4:20 am
venezuelan media is portraying alex saw as a humanitarian, but u. s. media is quite skeptical, accusing him of being a crop to be a corrupt billionaire. can you describe who alex was before he was detained? i mean, who is he as a person? well, alex sob is a business man. but in this pin, and he's also close to the government and supports the government of course of in his whaler. and in this case, he took on the duty of getting medicine. this was right when cohen started and venezuela needed medicine, obviously for its people and humanitarian goods. and this was a humanitarian trip, and the plane refueled in cape verde, kate verity is a frequent refueling spot for long haul distance, aeroplanes. and somehow the us found out that he was there, it was the cape verde authorities had to have notified the us. i don't know how
4:21 am
else the u. s. found out, but we don't, we don't know that. but at this point it doesn't matter. what matters is that he should not be extradited. he should be released. that's what the the african court held. that's what foreign bodies are saying, and it's only the u. s. of course, that wants him extradited. washington claim south activities led to the exploitation of the venezuelan people, one from keller, both and again continuing his talk with nancy holland who says the us, his after sub because he may hold the key to venice. whereas ability to avoid sanctions. right. well, the united states argues that they're simply enforcing their sanctions against venezuela, as well as money laundering laws. is there a legal basis for that? swiss investigated? they're part of it. the money where the money went and they didn't find anything. the u. s. takes the position that any time
4:22 am
a country tries to do anything around the sanctions that the u. s. should stop them . and so it tries to make the sanctions worldwide has implications for any country that sanctioned and there are a number of them. it has implications for the majority regime and the u. s. is constant efforts to basically overthrow it. it has certainly, if it's on boy, someone who has the magic community can be captured in a country. that's that, that's a very bad precedent. meantime, sobs lawyer point to 2 other cases and to alleged human rights abuses facing those expedited to the us and to its most controversial prison. guantanamo bay, cuba now have conditions in guantanamo bay, improved. i mean, they changed the way people are being held. has there been any,
4:23 am
any significant changes to the facilities since it was was opened? guantanamo was clearly outside the rule of law. i can tell you what happened to mohammed knew who was the worst, tortured in one town, tomorrow. he was denied sleep for 70 days. basically, maybe giving an hour to sleep and that causes your brain to get federal and you start to have hallucinations, which he did. he was grabbed one day beat and we found his medical records that his ribs were broken, taken out on a boat water boarded in the sense that they made him drink salt water. he was beaten, he was shackled, bent over shackle. they, they had, they had his medical records, the interrogator stared,
4:24 am
and they knew what they shouldn't do and that's what they did. and then they gave him a false letter that appeared to be from the president saying, because you won't cooperate where we were ref senior mother. and the cop said to him, i can't guarantee her safety. and i think that's what finally did it. he said, all right, i'll tell you anything you want. so he did, he told them anything they wanted. talk to people in captivity, some will. these brave support is the julia songs of taken to the water for the latest protest demanding his release from prison. they sell, pass parliament on the u. s. embassy in central london waiving flag, saying free is sounds now, early this year the u. k. refuse to expedite the songs to the us way. still want to don't espionage, just by the way, remains in a high security prison where he will turn 50 on saturday. a wildfire in the us

4:28 am
hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . 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 service, they actually control us. is there a way out from this growing dystopian? in the cross talking tech control, i'm joined by my guess zach war. he's in san francisco, he's a google whistleblower, a tech entrepreneur and co author of the book. google leaks a whistleblowers ex was a a big tech censorship. and in phoenix across to ryan hardwig. he is a pre speech advocate, facebook whistleblower, and co author of the book behind the mask of facebook. current settlement cross

talk rules and effects. that means you can jump anytime you want. and i would appreciate your both whistleblowers from some of the most tyrannical organizations that have ever existed on this planet. i feel very strongly about that. so i can ryan, i'd like you to give it a thumbnail sketch of your whistle blower experience at these tech corporations you per 2nd san francisco. well, google was a really great company all the way up until 2016 when donald trump, when the election. and then they decided that they were going to go to a hard authoritarian company. and they changed all their policies and they started to classify things like big news with a program called machine learning fairness. they had all their evil plans on designed documents inside the company and as a full time employee, i had access to these documents. i copied them ah, and realised that this was something that the public needed to know about because
4:30 am
it really is going to be the end of democracy. if google is not put a stop to and so i released these documents 950 pages to project bear toss and really the rest is history. and now we know how google does or censorship and pretty much everything that i was predicting and 2019 has come true. in fact, it's even worse now and you see things like i ever met him being heavily censored. and now that's, you know, there's questions about whether this pandemic had to be as bad as it could have been because of certain censorship that big tech has done not just on the president, but also non political things that impact everyday people like you and me. well, you know, is that a lot of the things that i.
