if the proposal passes doctors who help women terminate their pregnancies could face up to 99 years in prison but in georgia a new law was passed this week which bans all abortions at the 1st signs of a fetal heartbeat that is before many women even know they're pregnant this year similar heartbeat bills have already been passed in kentucky mississippi and ohio all of them are facing legal challenges. in jordan reports now from washington. the latest round of laws being passed in u.s. state legislatures that put new tougher restrictions on women's access to abortion has become a controversial development here in the united states those who support the outlawing of abortion say that they are glenn getting closer to the day when the procedure is outlawed in all 50 states and u.s. territories those who support abortion rights say that these new laws represent

really a new frontier in trying to undercut the lives of women and girls and so they are trying to find a political way to respond to this new slate of being passed we've already seen demonstrations at state legislatures there's already talk of raising money to fund efforts to try to defeat the laws or overturn the laws in the state courts perhaps in the federal courts as well but in the meantime this is a process that has been really going on since 1973 when the roe v wade decision was decided by the u.s. supreme court that ruling says that women do have a constitutional right to seek an abortion however that does not mean that the u.s. states have not had any efforts in that time to try to restrict access to abortion and in fact $43.00 of the 50 us states do put limits on where an abortion can be

performed how many doctors can be involved after how many weeks during a woman's pregnancy and abortion can be performed there are penalties but none as tough as those that have been passed recently in some southern u.s. states we're going to weather up to. then migrants who survived the shipwreck those who died on the journey to europe. and we'll take a look at how they are processing the era of donald trump. hello again welcome back to your international weather forecast we're quite wet here across much of north eastern turkey of the next few days we do expect to see the rain continuing and that's also going to stand over here towards a little bit cooler for you with the temperature there of about 19 degrees but not

so cool as we go down here towards the south baghdad your high temperature here on sunday 37 degrees getting a little bit warmer by the time we get to monday we do expect to see a high temperature there of about $39.00 degrees down towards queen city hot as well at $37.00 well across the gulf we're going to be seeing some clouds pushing across doha and in those clouds could be the potential of a rain shower but nothing that's going to cause any accumulation as those clouds make their way through for doha here on sunday 36 degrees but it is going up as we go towards monday it is going to be a hot day with plenty of sun at $38.00 abu dhabi a little bit cooler but winds are coming out of the northwest that means off the gulf and it's going to be about $34.00 there and here across much of southern africa clear for many locations we're going to be seeing maybe some clouds a little bit down here towards the south up towards parts of johannesburg though it is going to be a beautiful day at 23 harare may pick up the afternoon shower at 25 but madagascar is looking quite nice from the north as well as the south with the temperature

there and plenty of sun with a temperature of 26 degrees. sponsored by catalona. people we called on this trial in fact a few years ago there is place only for one state on the land of israel i do not believe in a 2 state solution the official story isn't there and. i don't care about the official story if you were a little visit today you would say what has the media been telling. and why there's lots of grays in here join me from my guests from around the world take the hot seat and we debate the week's top stories and big issues here on al-jazeera.

again this is remind you of the main news this hour rebels have become redeploying fighters from 3 major ports in yemen they say it's part of a un brokered deal but the yemeni government says it's a ploy. an attack on a luxury hotel in a pakistani port city developed by china has ended with a security guard and 3 gunmen killed separatist group the. liberation army has claimed responsibility saying that it's targets of chinese and other foreign investors the polls are open in the 6th phase of voting as india's one and a half month long parliamentary election approaches its final week around 10 percent of the total seats are up for grabs on sunday including those in the capital. but as well as opposition leader one goh i do has called for direct contact between his movements and the us military he made the appeal as opposition supporters gathered for another day of demonstrations against president nicolas maduro but fell short of expectations as a 0 sum as

a poor reports from the capital come. another proved test in venezuela this one to demand the release of the vice president of the national assembly. so to have a son just says she cannot wait any longer for a change in her country i am in we cannot continue with nicolas maduro in power we can hardly eat another detaining our lawmakers what else needs to happen from a door to go away. but for now it seems the little is not going anywhere venezuela's president denounced the cia as being behind efforts to overthrow him last week at coole attempt that did not succeed. because the person who carried out the coup is a coward a traitor his name is manuel of the hospital christopher a traitor who is guilty and a coward after which he fled. many people in venezuela believe mother would or is not the legitimate president. they say the elections last year were field with

irregularities. opposition leader while asked people not to lose hope and says he has ordered his envoy in washington to meet with the u.s. southern command. will talk to anyone that will help us transition to democracy in venezuela with the armed forces with the people on the streets and the international community that turnout is demonstration the marks i wonder that you crave yes ok well i tired and chanted with the current situation in the country when it is going through an enormous economic crisis that has already forced to millions of people out of the country. the government has tried to implement some reforms to improve the economic situation but most analysts believe that as long as my little is in power it's unlikely to get any better. there is no option since there are foreign restrictions and because there was

a crisis the government has no credibility in the. oil production has dropped so it's almost impossible the students were not happy with saturday's turnout they say they don't have a future in venezuela but do not want to leave. our disappointment is what motivates us to take to the streets we have to win the street caracas we owe it to our friends who have died will do is not going to go away if we keep on talking. many here are calling for an intervention to force out. but the consequences of such a move could be catastrophic in a country where he supporters have sworn to fight back. government forces in northwestern syria have ignored calls for calm pushing further into rebel held territory of rebel fighters fail to reclaiming play on claves in hama province which were captured by forces loyal to president assad the renewed government campaign against rebels in both hama and it live provinces has killed

more than 100 people and forced 150000 from. moawad from the world food program says the poverty has become the main enemy for many syrians especially those stranded in the war zone. after 8 years of crisis in syria. needs are strikes staggeringly high is specifically in italy because of the latest escalation we know that there is from 150-002-1800 extension 00 people who've been displaced from north hammer and. the southern parts of it live to the northern camps where we've been receiving them and providing food assistance and humanitarian aid however more needs to be done since a $2014.00 world food program and the entire year one body has been able to reach the north west of syria through our cross border operations via turkey. alone is

able to reach just a bit over half a 1000000 people on a routinely and regular basis however we have had to stop some of our assistance to parts in southern italy due to the fighting we've spoken through our partners to some of these families the happen to be the families who were unable to provide transportation for themselves it's a long road from the southern parts of it led to the northern camps and so they've ended up being stranded we're doing our best to reach them and in fact our partners tell us that as of last evening we've managed to reach all of them with food assistance and shelter it's also important to recognize that after 8 years of crisis a lot of people are tired it's not just the folks in it live who are now under fire but also the 75 percent of syrians who are living in areas that have been settled but they are facing a new enemy that of poverty a search operation continues after a boat carrying almost 100 refugees sank coltrane is something the coast at least

70 people lost their lives when the vessel capsized on friday as she had to go for reports those who were rescued a stew in a state of shock. this bangladeshi man set off in the hope for a better life in europe. but is now stuck at this refugee reception center in tunisia. yet he's one of the lucky ones. he makes a painful call home 3 of his brothers who were on the boat with him when it overturned didn't make it. a fishing boat tried to bring as many passengers to shore as it could. only 16 survived out of almost 100 people who set sail from the city of the vajra on the libyan coast a lot of. they put us on a large boat after sailing for a while they moved us to a smaller inflatable boat with more than 70 people on board they left us and sailed

away because of the number of people it started taking on water and overturned some of us are from chad or morocco but the rest are from bangladesh. the un agency for refugees refers to the mediterranean as the world's deadliest sea crossing it's a popular transit route for those desperate to reach europe last more than 2000 people died trying to cross. the wide range of nationalities of the passengers on the boat have made it difficult for the tunisian rescuers to identify the victims and. we took 4 of them to the regional hospital for treatment and the rest of the survivors are here we will present them to psychologists and experts in order to give them the support they really need as you can imagine they all traumatized tunisian human rights organizations are blaming the european union saying tough immigration policies are forcing people to risk their lives crossing the mediterranean but for these men who have lost friends and family blame won't bring

back their loved ones. 0. talks between sudan's ministry council and opposition groups remain deadlocked a month after street protests forced the military to oust long. president. he was replaced by a transitional military council which is resisting protests to cede power to civilians reports to. sami mahmoud looks at photos from home and he's reminded of when the word arrived on his doorstep his from the nuba mountains in southern sudan where he saw sudanese where planes dropped bombs on his village some fellow farmers were killed and others were forced to escape. the government forces dropped bombs from ime to nerves and other kinds of planes and didn't distinguish fighters from civilians they dropped bombs indiscriminately it was a massacre a genocide against the people of new bam mountains. the farmer says knowing what

the military can do to civilians is what brought him to join the massive army headquarters and the 5 week long sit in followed months of anti-government protests demanding president already bashir and his 30 year rule. he was ousted in april 11th by military commanders the transitional military council has been in control ever since despite demands for civilian rule opposition parties and the 00s at the city are demanding the council transfers power. the nuba mountains area in software defined is just one of several regions that were in sudan others in the southern region and the western region for many people have fled those areas. some led by commanders in the military council sudanese refugees in the capital and who have been able to join the sitting here in front of the army headquarters they want to leave until power is handed to them and. but it's a stalemate in talks between the 2 sides with the military council threatening to hold early elections if no deal is reached within 6 months the opposition coalition

says it wants to end the deadlock but won't back down in its demand for civilian government. the legitimacy the military council is leading on comes from the people who forced the military to overthrow. so the talk shouldn't be about power sharing or delegating and the military should not want to chair the sovereign council and have both already to appoint members of the transitional government it should hand over power to the people to form a civilian government. sudan has been under military rule for much of its existence since independence from britain in 1956 protesters here say when they forced the military to overthrow bashir a month ago they discovered how much power they have and know it can also be used to force the military to hand over power to the people. morgan al-jazeera how tom president donald trump has been cutting funding for the arts in the united states

but american politics in the trump era is inspiring artists around the world charlie angela reports from. $60000.00 pages of e-mails their contents pretty mundane their effect on hillary clinton's 2016 presidential bid devastating now and show in venice by artist kenneth goldsmith i wanted to sort of put an end to the speculation of trump keeps saying where are those emails and he still says that today where the e-mails this is the 1st time anybody has ever seen these e-mails these are arguably the most important historical documents of our time to change the history of america and therefore they change the history of the world. to celebrated painter adrian gainey president donald trump's image is an inspiration for others he's a source of frustration subtle references to the state of american politics i found throughout the venice be an artist a reason displays

a concrete pull from her native mexico. while the idea of fake news is exploding josephs video installation a mishmash of videos news clips internet memes an entity's the i did. anything can now be considered news. the united states chose artist martin to represent in his skull just softly deal with issues of democracy allegiance and liberty and what it means to be exploited is quite abstract in the artist doesn't do interviews but he has said he hopes it will inspire viewers to question freedom and its fragility. may you live in interesting times is the theme of the show and some critics say trump's influence is inescapable there's a level of. the work here to be and that i think reflects the coarsening of the public discourse trumps. a lot of the work here basically shouts very loudly

to be heard there's lots of work it is very superficial very authentic and there's a lot of intellectual complexity so the replica of president lincoln's chair with a hose that dangerously around artist's vision of the united states seems rather bleak even alex dakota's model of a cozy suburban town is eerily empty. that us. it is. going to here in doha the headlines and al-jazeera the rebels have begun redeploying fighters from 3 major ports in yemen they say it's part of a un broken deal and what other groups to fulfill their end of the agreement with the yemeni government says it's just a ploy. the ball is in the court of the united nations internationally

voting on may 19th and there's the headlines that he's continues to up front next. with a billionaire for president and skyrocketing inequality can the united states still call itself a genuine representative democracy why has it become a plutocracy and what could be done if anything to cut the gap between the rich and the rest in this outfront special another doris and arthur law for debate one of the biggest issues of our time. inequality in the united states has been rising for decades and has now reached

levels not seen since before the great depression in fact the u.s. has a greater share of wealth than income going to the top one percent than any other country in the industrialized world so does the growing number of billionaires pose a threat to democracy and to the economy or is this just the politics of envy do the super rich actually play an important role as employers as taxpayers as philanthropists and what is the best way to address this growing inequality joining me to debate this arthur laffer creator of the famous laffer curve former economic adviser to president donald trump and co-author of the book trump a nomics inside the america 1st plan to revive our economy and another address editor at large for time magazine and author of the book winner takes all the elite charade of changing the world gentlemen thank you both for joining me out for thank you for having let me start with you you've heard the statistics you've seen them at the top 10 percent of americans now make more the 9 times as much as the bottom 90 percent the 3 richest people in the u.s. own as much wealth as the entire bottom half of the population how concerned are

you by all of this i'm very concerned about the bottom portion. i'm not concerned so much about the top portion of all i mean i'd love to eliminate poverty in the u.s. i'd love to raise incomes of the lower income groups but i'm not one who wants to cut down the rich i mean i think income inequality is very clearly here there's no question that the growing and what it's growing in my mind because so much growth of government and that's really what's caused a lot of this inequality and the markets are much larger etc but i'm very worried about low income groups and making them better off that's why i wrote enterprise zones and all this to bring the low end of the run but i don't know what the gap is not the issue the gap in no is really the bottom i'm really concerned about the gap is not the issue it's the bottom. you know i think the eighty's called and want their ideas back we are now at a point a crisis point i believe on on inequality american life and i think where the new thinking is the stock of the smartest people who are studying the problem now

there's an understanding that you can't fight poverty without dealing with what those at the top have done to engineer that situation so let's talk about a couple things if you use your outsized political influence through donations and lobbying to push for tax cuts things like the trump tax cut as you know most of the benefits flow to the top tax cuts that you you know were involved in the reagan years in the eighty's and the one percent doubles its share of income and you start to see wages stagnate etc etc you start to see people you know who run a company like amazon own a company like amazon become the rich person the world while workers at amazon are peeing in a bottle because the company doesn't give them enough break time in the relentless drive for productivity i think you start to see that the people down below are not down below because they happen to be down below they down below because someone is actually standing on their back and i think the new thinking now is that we actually have to get people off people's backs and to understand the mechanisms

which we can talk about today about what are the ways in which people are are standing on people's backs but this old idea that you can lift people up without dealing with what those on the top are doing and without bringing them down. and i want to bring also back in just one quick question just to get a where we all stand on principle if it stick it on principle if everyone is getting richer but some are getting richer faster than the rest is not a problem for you that's not what's been happening but it is on principle terms i mean i would need to know the rate of of each you know if people the bottom are getting richer in a faster rate that would be even better but the reality is the average income in $179.00 in this country for the bottom half of americans is $16000.00 after 40 years pretty amazing things happen in the last 40 years the internet genomics revolution you know the store. the average income for the bottom half is now $16000.20 it takes a tremendous amount of rigging to have as much new stuff has been invented in our lifetime and have it not benefit we're going to talk about everything a little bit later in the show but i'm going to make

a point that you cannot you cannot deal with poverty unless you deal with the gap you disagree i disagree with that toy because if you don't think rich people need to be made less powerful in order for justice to be done in america today no i don't know what by less powerful means less politically influential but start with let me put it this way the thing i think of most for helping low income is the jack kennedy quote that the best form of welfare is still a good high paying job and job creation job growth and income growth i think is the best way i would really telling the poor how do you do you ok how do you do with music now i mean i'm an eighty's guy but i was born in 1981 both from cleveland we both know i guess how do you do i need to i want to score some good will do it's got for us if we can have it is because they got the gap is what we all love the idea let's agree about it because it is good economic ideas are good just wonderful the gap has an impact on people's lives the richest one percent in the united states live up to 15 years longer than the poorest one percent yes the gap matters

. life expects the united states vary by one to 28 if you just say but you know where you live but let me just say you know that you're not good at it and you know the batters a lot of the ghetto income by by its life i mean it's all just like out there is a lot of ways to get out the go to speak i don't like living in the. health it affects their spirits it affects their mental emotional you know the studies that are being done well i'm going to i've never known a society that doesn't have large income gaps i mean it's been with us for centuries and forever but the truth of the matter is it does get you better health care income does get you more job satisfaction that's very true that's why i want to see the poor get more income that's exactly the reason if they get more income they can have better health care they can feel more job satisfaction that's why i think the problem really is at the heart of it's a poor real results for example by kate pickett richard wilkinson in the spirit love and other studies suggest that even if you raise the incomes as long as there's a massive gap society will have problems not believe drug addicts i don't know right now which is a very wealthy man's game to our viewers are missing

a very fundamental point so you were born in the year 940 is that correct who is that correct on your work i just heard 40 so people born in 1940 in this country yes at the top of the upper middle class or the. top of the lower middle class of the bottom the upper middle class 10 percent on 90th percentile shared a 90 percent chance of realizing the american dream with the top of the bottom 90 percent chance out earning your parents doing better yes people born in my decade the eighty's. because in many ways of policies that you were involved with in the reagan to this one we disagree but this is where we disagree a little bit where the new people born in 1904 for example maturing into adulthood today. if you're at that top that upper middle class level your mobility has gone down from 90 percent to 70 still good of a better than average shot of out earning your parents people born at that 10 percent level at the lower middle class now have a 35 percent chance of out earning their parents. and i think it is

a fantasy to suggest that that was not an engineered consequence of policy and then an engineered consequence of government cutbacks of austerity of tax cuts you do know what happened to homelessness in the reagan years you know the data well i do know the data and i lived in california but let me just say that you know still economic growth what you're talking about is economic growth has come way way down from the forty's when you know what i'm talking about but that is what the result i'm talking about captured by the economic growth if you have no increase in real g.d.p. per adult if you don't you're not going to have a good thing we don't know your cross purposes my understanding of it i think that's what we're used to be and it is a it's not about how much growth you have it's about who's getting the growth so people nobody gets about growth no what about it also growth if everyone doesn't have access to what but no what he said was about outperforming your parents now that is not a relative thing your parents were there you're here it's a time separated thing is what we're talking about now when you talk about time

separation the real key here is economic growth and we have had very slow number of euro but i would not be wrong line and so much of the ability to klein in real g.d.p. per adult the trend it is declining the enormously in the last 20 some your corporate profits have gone up in this that's true the income of affluent people has gone up and wages of stagnant productivity of the famous graph that you know productivity but it has gone up in the period we're talking about somehow the workers generating that productivity but they're not captured if you might have that i would put it put just to respond and we would create what i. mean there are these people had no income before and all of us and at the end of reagan they $20000000.00 more had income that they never had before all you look at that it was the reagan tax cuts of the ninety's margaret thatcher in the u.k. when we're going to states which created this explosion of inequality which oh i think it was excuse explosion of of growth income jobs for the poor of the minorities the disenfranchised people who had heretofore never had jobs now have generally and so you're saying to rich people you can keep way more of your money.

there are questions about you but betty i want to live in the candy land of your mind depending on how you get a reality and i say somebody here i mean a lot of this is been brought about by government because of lobbying and all this stuff that they've gotten all the tax shelters love it's warren buffett he pays only $8000000.00 the taxes with $13000000000.00 income 6101 percent it is incumbent taxes because we don't have a low rate broad based flat tax like jerry brown proposed and i was jerry brown's economists who want to get rid of all federal taxes they have to flat rate taxes want to business net sales or one of personal adjusted gross income 13 percent on the subject of taxes on and what would you like to see happen to taxes to try and tackle this problem. i think what is very exciting about the democratic primary that's happening now which feels to me like a way more open conversation with a full spectrum of ideas and we represented some very interesting tax proposals with surprising degrees of popularity in this country so the war and wealth tax is

a fascinating idea you know $75000.00 families alone would be would be touched by that wealth because senator elizabeth warren is going to be a 2 percent 2 percent 2 percent on assets over $50000000.00 and only that which is above 53 percent above a 1000000000 only that that that's above 1000000000 touches only $75000.00 families and you know this this is a person who has very strong economists doing this work you can fund universal daycare on that you can fund a massive effort on free college around that and still have money left over that's interesting idea has a 70 percent marginal rate congressman alexander a close circle to thank you for forgetting the global right exactly you know i think that's an interesting idea i think we're going to have to sit and look at all of these and maybe not do all of them the same because i think about it but i think these are the kinds of ideas directionally that we should that those only those who think we have an honest reason one of the reason we're doing this show is because one of the discussion why can't we have an honest conversation about tax rates and about what the rich pay without some people on the i love it getting hysterical so

when alexander closer to suggested 70 percent don't. to the news and we had 2 1 of your friends grover norquist. comparing it to slavery we had a prominent republican congressman suggesting that she was trying to take 70 percent of people's income she's not is she just to be here if you want to start a little bit of what i do she's only saying 70 percent of every dollar over $10000000.00 how can anyone be again let's look at how do you need more than $10000000.00 of income what can you spare 73 cents please about your friend or grover norquist or anyone else so they're wrong be it was you know the key they're wrong to compare 70 percent tax to slavery i do think that's wrong i do and we're all going with the idea and let's just get to the idea i don't think the 70 percent of what people pay i don't think it is what they pay what they do is where you have if you don't have it when you have a tax rate of 70 percent you're going to spend 70 percent of your time trying to reduce your tax burden and 30 percent of your time trying to work because that's where you allocate the resources and don't let me finish when you do that you get all sorts of people trying to use lobbyist gamesmanship you know all this. she can

agree with government to do that. when you're famous for the laugh floor curve laughter i'm a laugh or i'm afraid you're turning into the laughter curve that's ok i got it as before because the reality is. we tried the idea of cutting taxes and unleashing growth we tried it we now know serious people agree on this that it allowed the one percent to double its share of the nation and then could i respond that allowed 1000000000 they are going to do so anyway you're completely wrong on the facts on the research but i mean look at this nonetheless where you could allow you tell you there's to monopolize the american dream and it has i don't know how much time you spend out there actually talking to regular people in the country i've been in indiana iowa pennsylvania ohio nevada recently in the last few weeks talking to people i will tell you when you actually go into real situations and say what's what's your job what happened in job how was your job 30 years ago what happened now how much of your farm make what's going on what's the

union situation i will tell. you that people are very clear whatever conversation wearing at this table americans on the left and right are very clear that something has gone badly wrong in this country that the that they can't see the horizon the 1st time they're not about is about what i don't know but even republican voters especially if you look at the academic because this is one of those i think just i mean the academic literature is very clear the tax rates have had an enormous effect on economic growth government spending does i mean you look at if you tax people who work and you pay people who don't work here you get a lot of people not working you have advised donald trump you know we have much more with were you part of the great you have advised donald trump you were in a book were using this thing you're told you've written a book praising donald trump economic policies going on but all that is yes very much his tax cuts. 60 percent of the benefits of those tax cuts last year went to the top 20 percent and in the coming decade the top one percent are going to get 80 percent of the bonus but you're so wrong i'm not wrong that's the tax policy center which is a nonpartisan i discover they hasn't been wrong since the fifty's let's read well

the tax policy center says it can i say something if you look at the increase in jobs i'll put in a solid if you look at the poor what i know is the top dog percent citing research then you've not disputed are you going to completely are set up a set of assumptions of the benefits so they can be about you know the benefits of the tax cuts of the jobs if you know the how it works come all come on that's why we did the test i was i was so excited because i liked lots of lots of money on the basis of tax cuts but down the line someone may get a job we benefit when someone's got a little and big other job you know lots of people you know the following is a very specific i was unemployed for a total of one percent of the good or 80 percent i just got a lot more ok with those at the lowest rungs of the mater have had the lowest unemployment rates they've had what i wrote about unemployed but i'm telling both that are going to that you may want to talk about the distribution of tax and let me do talks about who get jobs who gets the income increases that's what i'm after now you can be after that just to even if they're probably paying jobs people in america job better than no job if they don't well i'll have a job maybe for you in

a nice suit sitting here it's better than no job but i will tell you i don't do you get out there and actually talk to people all the time and i've been doing it for a lot more years and you guys by just you know i was in times in utero look the reality is. a lot of these jobs you talk about. are increasingly contract jobs rather than jobs with any kind of security they're good jobs for young people all the indicators around homeownership down entrepreneurship down we think we live in the startup age no young people about half as likely to do a start up today as they were when you when you were architecting the policies that resulted in the situation and probably if you continue it doesn't matter of you do it personally but if we continue to cling to this idea that simply leaving business people alone in an era in which so many people have started to feel that the american economy doesn't work to your point you know that actually if you think about how donald trump ran as opposed to what he did there was

a 2 party consensus in the 26th election a milestone american history where both parties both contenders ran against the role of financial capitalism in screwing american community ok that is the new i don't sense about let me just we're going to move on you have to do i mean you've written a lot about philanthropy to a lot of rich people would say justifiably so but we do a lot of good work with our billions the bill gates the warren buffets of this world so we're helping fight malaria we're helping build hospitals there's a zuckerberg hospital. what do you say to them when they make that point we all know we're not just innovating as often some on the right would say in creating jobs we're also doing a lot of good deeds with this money and others on doing you know philanthropy is trickle down economics with a cherry on top all of these super mega billionaires many of whom i did this reporting with you know have foundations and give huge amounts but what is so remarkable about it is the as the philanthropy has gone in there do gooding has grown the inequality has grown and so the question is what's the relationship

between these 2 things and i think the argument and conclusion of my book through reporting is that this extraordinary elite generosity that marks our time is actually how we maintain a system of extraordinary is a word surely. and i can he answer that i mean this is exactly correct what you're talking about is exactly what is real god is for 501 c 3 you get a deduction there which reduces your adjusted gross income by 30 percent of the amount you gave to taxable income and these guys have used in this all the time here's it to avoid taxes and you get no doubt please let me just give you one more effect please you know you have no capital gains taxes on unrealized capital gains if you give away a dollar stock that's now worth $100.00 you get the full benefit of the 100 you don't get any of the tax this is fraud of the 1st because of the tax or because you know a lot of these people are telling me i'm going to eat when you see a lot of people saw what happened in france recently yes notre dame cathedral they raised billionaires in from raised a 1000000000 dollars i think in the space of 2 days to help restore that cathedral

a lot of people again on the left on the right will say so in 2 days you could raise a $1000000000.00 when you want to for something you want to spend on but then you claim you can't afford to pay the taxes or it's going to hamper your business or it's going to totally evasion surely that undermines the idea that if you raise taxes on the rich they're going to all run away or talk about right you're totally right i think it is you can give away a one $100.00 and really lose something like $9.07 because of all the tax benefits you get from that you shouldn't have that if you give away charity you should give it away and after tax dollars that's the way it should be done that's what i would jerry brown we have a low broad based flat tax of 13 percent period no deductions no exemptions no exclusions and then warren buffett would have paid instead of paying $8000000.00 he would have paid $1600000000.00 but now we didn't do it by rates because frankly he doesn't but just to the point a little further if we did a wealth tax if that money is in fact lying around to get around it to $1.00 of

them if we did a wealth tax and let's say we found a way to enforce it do you truly think if we taxed fortune's north of $50000000.00 or a $1000000000.00 many people reported on many of them i will tell you do not think america would would would would be in trouble many of them. i don't want it to happen but many of them will tell you privately they think america be better off on the other side of it they're not going to they're not going to agitate for it do you really think america would be worse off if we taxed those fortunes versus and that's just as a stand alone or what do you do with the money or do you lower other taxes now we're going to do various things of the money you can do a universal daycare that's the proposal on the table you could do free public college i think america would be a lot worse off with a 2 percent and let's admit the 2 percent well let's hear the sound although i know we're running out of time when you tell us describe or said one of the more living it's going to be very difficult to do that right when bernie saunders a self declared socialist who is i think 2nd in the polls right now in the democratic primaries when he says he wants to break the quote in this country number one is not an accurate description number 2 can he do it is it possible to

do that i think we do live in a functional oligarchy and i think that's something that americans need to understand because whether you're on the left or the right i actually don't think that's our self image i think our self image is a place where everybody ends up where they end up according to how hard they work and the reality is in the o.e.c.d. the rich countries america is basically last. at social mobility we are actually the place least likely in the rich world and so it is an oligarchy and you're also you're on the right of the spectrum i'm a kid i'm going to kind of a sell out on the right and i'm going to i'm going to join the rest of the spectrum but can you there from the way you'll sit and listen to radio city do you accept that america has become or is becoming at all they go on and says his buddy ally think influence has been never been more prevalent than it is today and that's the real power of the rich and volatile part of a lot of groups and policy no the rich what about the rich as well but i'm talking about specifically the rich well. the rich are more important to them in

a good goldman sachs is more important than how would you how would you briefly cut down the power of the rich in the u.s. i would do it would lower a broad based flat tax the way jerry brown propose we went from don't want to make the rich less rich oh bucks less rich i thought you didn't want to make them less rich just so we open the show you know you know i was a blessing in the sense they're paying more taxes that's your debt still ridge but i don't know what i was able to pick up the phone to senators and governors is still have the ability to fund certain politicians that's not going to change is it you know i still get upset a lot of republican and democratic voters and i don't know that in evidence of a mere senator it was me i don't know of in any society where you don't have the more powerful agreed but in america it's worse than the other sunday that i deployed and well you know i don't think the amount of money and after the holiday we're in one is if you looked at the o.e.c.d. studies of elizabeth warren's 2 percent wealth tax you've seen that there were 13 or 14 countries that drive it now there are only 4 and they've had with respect we moved on a lot of us about the power of the rich right and that's why you don't like my tax so what i'm asking is how you would reduce the power of the rich would you where there is a lot of power of the rich by not having tax codes in their way and i would buy

a low rate broad base but they would still be rich according to you but they wouldn't there's a whole they would still have control over the way to go since no but they wouldn't be able to influence the tax code which is where the rich really get their power you know the way the rich companies get their powers by lobbying government and having government as their biggest come you know with a look at the washington offices of all these firms and all these rich people that's where the problem lies so your solution. is cutting taxes for rich people is a no no my just to have a low rate broad based flat lower rate than their current rate is a fair nobody does to be in your down you don't know there is a much higher on their income but it would be lower statutory rape but there would be no deductions exemptions or religion i want to add that i'm not a political question not a question about tax rates you've advised and i advise jerry brown and we went from going to but i think donald trump by the way no ok so you have to atone for what you feel you have anything to not as i point out the dangerous president american history. before we start a whole new disk i. o.

a job that we're running out of time just to bring about the suffering in fact a total trump as pointed out saying i will take on special interests i will drain the sport i will stop goldman sachs i will pick a stand against the banks i will stop the rigged economy i will speak for you and then we assemble the richest cabinet in history filled as ministration with goldman sachs personnel was that a betrayal of white working class voters in this for you is what you just said and i think he is supposed to mean example pledges about gold you know you have a billionaire look at facts of his god i think that's what he wants people in his cabinet i don't think so i don't think there are too few either i mean you think that's just the goldilocks perfect just right now no i didn't say it was that i don't think billionaires are the criteria you do is for their there are lots of billionaires i think would be awful in the cabinet i think this cabinet done a great job in creating a political economy of the representation of different economic strata don't that doesn't mean i don't think that's what he should have thought about about this campbell but that i think his cabinet is a great cabinet and i think we've got it right out of one very brief question to both of you looking forward i know you love to do predictions what is going to

happen to the american economy very briefly especially what we talked about today in terms of the power of the rich inequality in the next 51015 years and i don't look at the inequality in the power of the rich and i think if we keep these policies we're going to have nice solid economic growth and prosperity will hit the lowest income echelons and i'm very excited about moving forward in these areas the last word i think we're living in a very. citing time where 40 year error that you were involved in starting the reagan era is actually finding finally coming to an age of capital defined by this marching government unshackling business created huge and growing inequality is what most americans to feel the society is a work for them anymore and actually both on the left and right there's a tremendous new consensus emerging that we need new economic thinking that everything you heard today belongs in a museum not in the future and and the reality is we're going to get there one way or another we're out of time we'll have to leave it there. thank you both for

fighters preparing to leave the port of pay day the u.n. confirms that the rebel group has started to redeploy its forces from the strategic port a gateway for humanitarian aid so the move is unilateral but they say they expect reciprocity from coalition forces led by saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. now the ball is in the court of the united nation of yemen's internationally recognized government and the you many people in order to perform a cycle of pressure on the parties who are being an obstacle which are agreements cannot be reached unless the countries of aggression and mercenaries commit to the implementation of this agreement that the coalition yemeni government says the redeployment of fighters is the ploy by the who sees to deceive the international community it says the rebel group is handing over the port to its allies plans for fighters to pull out were brokered by

should know did you clay the elections to be free and fair thank you thank you. a victory for the african national congress comes as little surprise to many but with 57.5 percent of the vote it's a reality check for the party that's been in power since the end of apartheid in 1915 years ago almost 70 percent of south african supported the a.n.c. our people have spoken and they have done so clearly and emphatically they have voted for a more equal society free from poverty hunger and want they have voted for a country that they would like to see at peace with his so what its continent. and with the world at large the party always knew this would be

a tough election in the past year a.n.c. president jacob zuma resigned while fighting various corruption allegations and was replaced by saddam of course the wind is important for him up or so who's leading a divided party the agencies criticized for its slow delivery of basic services and the poorly performing economy for many south africans their view of nelson mandela as a rainbow party of liberation has dulled in 2016 the a.n.c. got to wake up cool when for the 1st time since the advent of democracy we received 53 percent in local government elections we had to urgently respond and the wrist the downward slide as it became crystal clear that there was a disco and didn't with the people the a.n.c. views this returned to office as a 2nd chance and says the confidence of voters is returning but at 66 percent this election has the low was to vote to turn out in south africa's democratic history the number of voters has stayed in the fall and over the last 3 elections observers

say growing apathy and disillusionment with politics may be to blame the a.n.c. has relied on loyal supporters to remain in power and enough of them have given the a.n.c. a 2nd to mandate the main opposition party the democratic alliance or decline in support to only the far left it cannot make freedom fighters with a 6 percent showing in local elections rose to 10 percent in the general election while in c. members may be breathing a sigh of relief he does know they have to do more to retain their position as a brooding party for me to milan al-jazeera pretoria south africa. polls are open for the 6th phase of voting as india's one and a half month long parliamentary election approaches its final week around 10 percent of seats are up for grabs on sunday including those in the capital delhi there's one more round of voting on my. 19 a total of 900000000 people eligible to

and also fighting in the elections these people want to break the country but i am 100 percent innocent. on these attorney explains it's illegal for her to run as she is not yet convicted but it brings into question the decision by the b j p to field a candidate facing terrorism charge. if it's proved that she is implicated by the court and gets a prison term then she would never be able to run for elections and. it's not just the b j p that's pushing hindu nationalism in bhopal albeit a softer version the congress party candidate has also been promoting hindu ideology in this community with a 20 percent muslim voter base 35 years ago one of the worst industrial accident in history happened here in the union carbide ghastly thousands were killed more than a 3rd of 2000000 residents are still affected and some who work with victim support
