a veteran politician as interim prime minister hoping to convince neighbors to lift sanctions imposed since last month. and they may not look very space age but we'll tell you how these tractors the bradley smiles in farming with help from about. struggling properties vast write offs and debts telling in the hundreds of millions of dollars these are some of the reported revelations from the u.s. president's tax records but he's long for to conceal the new york times says donald trump has not paid any income taxes in 10 of the past 15 years mostly because he reported losing far more money than he had made the publication goes on to say trump paid just $750.00 in federal income taxes in both 20162017

the tax return data obtained by the paper extend over more than 2 decades for trump and the companies that make up his business organization. donald trump says the report is absolutely false we do the same she caressed me in the same questions for years ago i had a little good to talk about it totally shake me this no actually i paid tax but. the service might actually change it's under they were under orders from the rest is not true they treat me like a temporary like they truly temporary they don't they triple 0 deadly. you have people in the area. treatment very very badly. but the wonder of it and. be proud to show it but that's just straight news. castro joins me life maryland just outside washington d.c.

heidi good to see you so this report spinouts about an hour or so any reaction coming through to this new york's new york times report and give us a bit more detail about what it says. sure we're still waiting for a response from joe biden of course is the democratic presidential challenger to president truman president trump in the upcoming election and less than 40 days that we've heard from other leading democrats who used to be on that presidential ticket elizabeth warren senator bernie sanders both criticizing this calling the president a hypocrite as you said and in 10 half of the 15 years prior to president trump becoming president he paid 0 dollars to the federal government in income tax and in the last 2 years while president he's paid $750.00

a year just to put that in context the average middle class american family pays more than 10000 dollars a year or so certainly this is information that may be quite inflaming to voters but beyond that the paper and its reporting the new york times documents really what is the financial wizardry that president trump and his organization have used to create this dynamic of appearing to be a multibillion air when in fact drowning in debt and the way that this was done was love the president's celebrity miss prior to becoming president in getting loans to buy risky properties and then not doing very well in those properties those famous golf courses his hotel in washington d.c. just hemorrhaging cash and then trump using those business losses to offset any sort of profit and that's how he was able to get away with not paying much taxes or

0 taxes at all but here's where it all is coming down though perhaps to haunt him according to the new york times within the next 4 years the president trump will have $300.00 more than preponderant. 1000000 dollars of debt due and this is personally guaranteed by him so if he were to win reelection we may then be in a scenario where creditors could foreclose on a sitting president for the 1st time and then their chorus the concerns of conflict of interest the new york times reporting that these various properties resorts have been essentially turned into quote bazaars for collecting money from lobbyists and from foreign officials who want to curry favor with the president but a final headline out of the reporting today from the new york times that on the question of russia whether or not the president had more unreported relationships

business dealings with russia the paper says there was nothing in these more than 2 decades of records that wasn't reported however it did document the financial gains from the miss universe pageant in moscow that president that trump posted in 2013 he earned 2 point $3000000.00 from that deal which was of course facilitated by a russian family with close links to president putin. castro speaking to us there live from maryland just outside washington d.c. many thanks for that let's get more reaction with tim constantine political rice a writ of the washington times joins us from jacksonville in florida many thanks for speaking to us on al-jazeera i've been just reading through some of the reaction on twitter people clearly angry to hear about these reports of trump and he paid a few $100.00 an income tax when when he of course is

a billionaire and most ordinary americans pay thousands of dollars in tax every year this news couldn't have come and he was time for trump. well i take it with a grain of salt frankly i remember the new york times reporting in 2012 that mitt romney hadn't paid taxes for years and then that turned out to be completely untrue so i wouldn't put too much stock in here and then listening to your reporter give her update on it she's saying well gosh she would use these losses from some businesses to offset profits from other other businesses that's how the system works there's nothing illegal about that there's nothing improper about that if you have a business that does really well and you have a related business that does poorly they offset there's nothing wrong in any way shape or manner with that the fact that the times is reporting the thousands of millions of dollars in losses that trump has made i mean this all takes away from trump's message. on the economy that he

has been crucial to setting the economy around but i don't think it takes away at all he was crucial to turning the economy around us the numbers are not imaginary numbers when you look at the numbers that were put out by the united states government quarter after quarter after quarter so strong has become president but prior to the coded situation then the economy did improve by dramatic amounts and i it's comical when i hear you say well when this president is asking people to pay thousands in taxes what this president has done is cut people's taxes the average american the working class family a cop a teacher just a regular american is paying $6000.00 a year less in taxes than they were during the obama administration so this is a president who has tried to make sure everyone pays less in the way of taxes. the

festa bases that just a few days away how do you think this new this report is going to cite that debate . i don't think it will make a huge difference it will be an issue but there are many bigger issues the economy is one of them cold it is one of them the supreme court justice selection will be one of them i think in the big picture this is a story for one or 2 days the democrats will certainly beat the drum and try to make it something but the fact is it if he has followed all the rules all the laws it has no impact whatsoever 10 concerts hane get to speak to a political reisa at the washington times. at least 16 service personnel and civilians have been killed in heavy fighting between on mania and azerbaijan a salacious flare up in a long running conflict that niggle mcadam back the breakaway region is inside azerbaijan that is run by ethnic harmony and it's rigged nice

you're watching al-jazeera mind of our top stories this hour the new york times has reportedly obtained more than 2 decades of the us president's tax returns a publication says donald trump a fear of tax and 10 of the last 15 years trump has dismissed the news as fake news . at least 16 soldiers and civilians killed in heavy fighting between a mania and as a by john is the latest flare up in a long running conflict on account of. french president emmanuel mccall has criticized lebanon's leaders over their failure to form a new government the prime minister designate a db quit on saturday less than a month after he was given the job lebanon's in an economic crisis and last month's massive explosion in beirut support only added to its problems mccomas particularly critical of the shia group hezbollah. i don't

it's really cannot be an army fighting news rail a militia fighting civilians in syria and a respectable party in lebanon once they can't believe it is stronger than it is it is up to them to demonstrate the very respect the lebanese as a whole it is clearly shown the opposition recent days. where shortly will hear reaction from saying a call in favor his natasha but none paris well a very strong words from the french president emanuel macron who accused lebanon's political leaders of betrayal he said they had betrayed their people by failing to form a government to push through urgently needed reforms in the country he said he singled out i should say hezbollah but he was certainly seriously critical of all the political classes he said that they had failed also not to use time in the right

way he said they wasted time they wasted a month in which lebanon could be accessing international aid now that international aid had been raised in august in a video conference many $300000000.00 but the condition of receiving that aid was that lebanon would form a government but that had not happened it was very clear it is very clear that my course seems personally very upset he said in the beginning of the month of september it sat around the table with various political leaders lebannon who seem to assure him that they would come together and try and form a government and push through reforms but they had failed to do that he said that they had only in the time that has passed looked after their own interests. lebanese politicians are aware that they are under pressure but lebanese politicians are really abetting on regional changes and it seems mccraw understands that he said that the lebanese political class is holding lebanon and the lebanese

people hostage with evan on his hostage to regional and international power struggles in particular the u.s. and iranian rivalry when mccrone says this is a last chance and then he gives 6 weeks what happens in 6 weeks time the us elections and hezbollah and the shop parties who are allied with iran how have been blamed for stalling the formation of the government in order to see whether or not the balance of power in the region can change if there's a new president in the white house will there be an agreement with iran and that way will the pressure will the pressure be less on hezbollah in lebanon because for hezbollah this is really an existential struggle because you know it sees the sanctions the u.s. sanctions on the group as well as the international community and i think mark mccraw is harsh language when he said hezbollah you cannot be a political party and be a militia killing civilians in syria was definitely a 1st because we have to remember yes the united states considers the military and

political wing of hezbollah as terrorist organizations but europe does not consider the political wing of hezbollah a terrorist organization in fact that's the main point of difference between the u.s. and france when dealing with lebanon and so is this macross saying that we could include your political wing on the terrorism list so a lot of warnings indirect threats but really no action taken. mali's president has named an interim prime minister he is former foreign minister. it's hoped the appointment will end sanctions placed on money by west african countries following a military coup last month the bloc demanded a civilian leader be installed as a condition for lifting the sanctions the transitional government has agreed to 18 months before elections make us happy is following the latest developments from neighboring senegal he says one is appointment is essential and winning support from the international community security element is still in the hands of the

president and the vice president and that's in their head but really the day to day nitty gritty of getting the state back on track well that's in the in the name in the hand of this new prime minister who will be nominating a new government on tuesday what's interesting about the nomination of this man is that he has a political power so it is a break with the recent past and the the government of kate where we saw so many people take to the streets and angry and upset with him but at the same time it is someone that is with a continuation from the past someone who was the foreign minister under to money to reign 2004 and subsequently to the representative of the united nation and also at the cost of west record for west african body what's important with this nomination is that we've seen that the president is a former officer of the military the vice president was the leader of the military giunta them themselves so he's the 1st civilian in

a position of leadership so he's key to ensuring that this government this government transition is successful to the eyes of the international community. belorussian police have fired stun grenades and tear gas to disperse up to 100000 people in the capital minsk rallies against president alexander lukashenko also took place 9 of the city's about 200 people were arrested sunday marks the 50th straight day of protests against a presidential election the opposition say was rigged jenison all call the warning of a new threat to media freedom hundreds of them have lost their credit taishan followers china's leaders imposing a knee security or it's been widely condemned him brown has. during the recent protests local as well as foreign journalists have often been in the thick of it some from the profusion of new online media outlets often working
