7:05 am
going to be able to get more revenues, they're still going to be lower tax. they're still going to be concerned to operate . there are just won't be as big as it was. it's not an end. it's a termination of tax havens. i think this race is the bottom problem of operating in countries that have very low taxes to attract capital. that's been a problem for the big countries. and then the small, the tax savings are competing with each other. so they're not getting much revenue . so this is i think, a win win. in general. it's not my ideal tax reform to tell you the truth, but it's, i think, better than what we have. the united states on the european union have agreed to ease tariffs on steel and alimentary imports. the deal to resolve the trade dispute was announced at the g 20 summit. us will now allow certain metals from the east to end to gigi free. it avoids a retaliatory measures on us products which were due to go into effect in december

. former president, donald trump introduced the levies 3 years ago. phil laval explains from washington what this does is it gives president biden a number of wins at 1st of all allows him to show off on the world stage that the u . s. is back that it's making friends again, which is what a lot of the d trends he's been about. it's about him showing that the u. s. is moving away from that isolationist approach, that the previous administration favorite in a number of ways. it allows him to also avoid these a. you retaliate, re, tariffs, remember they would you to kick it in a matter of weeks. they're going to double duty on a number of things like, well, i've been whiskey like harley davidson motorcycles, all american products. and this would not have gone down well domestically. it also allows him to show off his green credentials. we know the president biden has made a tackling climate change, a real tenant of his presidency. he's going to be at the cop summit in a matter of days. this allows him to show that they're working in the us with your rep, which is known for producing what you might call clean metals,
7:07 am
as opposed to china, which is allowed use as co powered furnace is. so can make cheaper metals, but not necessarily battles that are great for the environment. and also on the subject of china, it allows him to show some presidential muscle against china, which you guys will go down well with some quarters here in the united states. now, in terms of the actual logistics of this agreement, the announcement has to be made. we've had an announcement of an announcement that is coming at the moment. the terrorists are 25 percent on steel, 10 percent minion. we believe, but it's probably going to be something more like a sliding scale. so depending on how much the input level is, that will then affect how much the tower saw. so it will be all relative. and again, the amount will be this buffer zone, this green zone of what we think will be $3300000.00 tons a year allowed in. but again, those details are due to be made public later by president biden. us live on the line. crucially, these metals will have to be made in the

a use that means they all melted and poured in the you. it means that countries like china, like russia, like south korea, can't make them than send them to europe and pass them on saying they were made in europe because they had a few finishing touches put on in europe. but as i say, those details coming and becoming out activists in see don say, another story, people have been killed in protests against the miller. she qu hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets. soldiers use tear gas unblocked, major roads, and they've been reports of multiple gum fire, hip morgan reports from call to, ah, a protest that's been days into making thousands of people gather on the streets of her too demanding a return to transitional government. something they say was rob, from them after the military coup on monday. i know some glove lean. we went to the street because we reject the military rules and he reject authoritarianism. and we categorically reject all the behavior of the military council. i don't know,
7:09 am
