ah, the american people have spoken, but what exactly did they say? is the world looking for a whole new order with less america in it? is the woke agenda on the decline in america. how much the social media companies know about you, and how easy is it to manipulate the quizzical look at us politics the bottom line . ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, i'm defalco. this is the news. our live from dough are coming up with the next 60 minutes. democrats in the u. s. congress released 6 years of donald trump's tax returns for the former president for to keep private or countries impose
9:01 pm
restrictions on travelers from china. but beijing insist it's covered. 19 figures do not underestimate the scale of the outbreak. ousted ma'am alida ang suit. she is sentenced to 7 more years in jail, and corruption charges shall now serve 33 years. controversial influenza. andrew tate is arrested in romania on suspicion of rape and human trafficking. and it's forward haven't reaction from around the globe to pallet's death. the world's best football is paying tribute to the only player to win 3 world cup titles. ah, welcome to the news, our democrats, the united states congress liberally 6 years of donald trump's tax returns. the former president had sued the ways and means committee to keep his tax records private. but in november, the supreme court ruled the doctor. it could be made public. the committee say the
9:02 pm
records show that trump paid no income tax in 2020. well, the former president has issued a statement, slamming the move. he says the democrats should have never done it. the supreme court should have never approved it. and it's going to lead to horrible things for so many people. the great usa divide will now grow far worse. the radical left democrats of weaponized everything. but remember that it's a dangerous 2 way street, where mike hannah is live in washington, d. c. some ominous words when the former president. what did he mean by being a 2 way street, given all the pressure that's mounting on him at the moment? well, that will do better. to be in education from donald trump, or reminder perhaps that the republicans will take over the house on january the 3rd. and they could carry out their own form of tex investigation. that would appear is what donald trump is hinting at. but we heard then his statement flushing
9:03 pm
and criticizing the democrats for bringing this investigation. and indeed the supreme court for allowing it to happen. but what the tax returns do show they are very detailed, 6 years of tax returns. it takes a long time to go through them. but what is immediately obvious is that donald trump lost a great deal of money or claimed great losses in the 1st 2 years of those. busy returns 2015 in 2016. he declared losses of some $13000000.00 each of those years. then he appeared during the presidency to show a little profit, but in 2020, once again, he showed massive loss and in fact, paid no taxes whatsoever in 2020. but another i didn't that these documents indicate is that during the 1st few years of his presidency, he was not audited by the i r s. now this is country to traditions in which the i r s will order to sitting present president at least once a year, but added to that donald trump insisted that he would not hand over his tax papers
9:04 pm
. because he said at the time he was being audited, this clearly from the documents released by the congressional committee was a blatant lie. i might do remind is how much of a struggle it's been to get hold of these records. the tool well going back to 2019 is when the democrat oh the ways and means committee 1st brought the demand for his tax records. seeing that he had not revealed them at all, unlike many other previous presidents and also the congressional committee trying to find out whether he had been audited and if not why he had not been ordered it. so this is raising a lot of questions for the i r s as to why it did not ordered donald trump in the 1st 2 years of his presidency. but once again, the congressional committee seeking to get these documents at went through court off to court with trumps lawyers fighting every single step of the way. and
9:05 pm
eventually ended up in the supreme court. the lands highest court which ruled that the iris must provide these documents. my cannot live in washington dc many thanks . or lauren scott, the coffee is a professor of economics at boston university. he joins us from providence rose, rhode island, welcome to the news our firstly in terms tax returns have been shrouded in secrecy, of course, for some time from a renowned economist perspective. one of the most striking implications of these findings because what they seem to suggest is the dog trump isn't a very good businessman. either suggest that or, or that he's, you know, engage in some tax fraud. they kind of suggest both things and they also suggest and create incredible in competency by the i arrest only for one person on the auditing of this massive tax return. they can't audit the reason
9:06 pm
returns because they haven't finished the audits even even though it's been going on for years now. of the prior tax returns that have huge losses that are being carried forward that are listening to paying very little taxes. they also show that the rich have ways in our country, even legal ways to avoid paying taxes. it's also extremely unseemly for anybody who is a presidential president presidential candidate, now to reveal their taxes to the public and also not to pay taxes. i mean, you'd want to pay taxes even if you didn't know taxes just as part of, you know, being a public citizen. so i don't think any of those looks good for trump. i think is yet another. i think they are circling, and the republicans are going to run against him. are going to use this and you know, claim that he's a tax fraud tax sheets. and there are things that the joint tax committee,
9:07 pm
which is a congressional committee of experts have discovered in the returns that you're going to have been revealed that suggested he's pushing the limits maybe beyond what's legal. he's just said the wall is just click around donald trump, but other wall is also circling around his closer circle of support isn't friends as well. people who may have done similar things when it comes to tax over there. well, i don't know there's, i'll see that the republicans. i mean the, the house ways and means committee sir is about to become republican, but they haven't gone. i'm, you know, after giuliani's tax returns or my pens, his tax returns a, this hasn't been and across the board attempt to smear republicans on the tax side . it's really, you know, presidents are supposed to reveal their taxes and be audited and this isn't,
9:08 pm
hasn't happened. so in order in a timely fashion, that's, you know, the political system in the u. s. and from once, everything to be his way and spec, now he wants is indeed suspend the constitution in order to retire himself, appoint a dictator. that's really what he said publicly if you run a few weeks back. all right, i want to talk about the optics of all of this because of course many of trump support is a working class. they go on to work every day. they pay that taxes. what will they do in terms of his loyal supporter base? well, it should be outraged and am are going to be outraged people those ridge can get by without paying taxes. there. all kinds of loopholes, especially for people in real estate. many of which were planted into the tax cut and jobs act that he signed in the wall back in 2017. a lot of the provisions it
9:09 pm
appeared to me. i'm just, you know, not an attorney tax attorney. so i'm just, you know, giving him, i got sounds from looking at the provisions and the tax laws of 2017. it seemed that they were designed to help him personally and, and there was other provisions are designed to meant to help the republican members of the senate than i, interactive with personally. so i know that they were pushing senators can run their own businesses. so in that law you have provisions, you know, i don't, one particular rebuilding center i was talking with at the time he started saying, well, we need to have the law change this way. i could see that it was all engineer just to to make him let him pay lower taxes and he ended up holding out his support and bill until he got his way on the actual. so that's something that
9:10 pm
the public i think really needs just starting to see that. and then if you look at, it's not just trump, i mean, look at the super rich. somebody like a jeff pays the super rich. if they're paying taxes is just because they want to, it's all voluntary. the easiest way i can avoid tax is legally. if i'm super rich, let's say i had $2000000000.00 i just borrowed against you. $1000000000.00 i borrowed is low rate. i put up these stocks that i have. let's say i've got 2000000000 in stock. i put them up as collateral against the borrowing. and then the stocks at appreciate. i never sell. i never realized any capital gains. i never have to pay taxes. harry, i just sell the losers and re diversify, but i don't sell the winners. and then when i die id be appreciated. cabernet stocks to my kids through what's called a step up basis and they don't have to pay cap against taxes on the,
9:11 pm
on that to right. busy. this is awful. it needs to be changed. the veil is certainly lifting on the yeah, the, the hit tax affairs of the rich and powerful including donald trump. they're united states, lawrence courtney coff, professor of economics, the boss university. great to have you on the usa. now, after abandoning some of the world's toughest cove in 19 restrictions, china is witnessing what's believe to be it's worse outbreak videos of emerged of queues like these outside funeral homes. the severity of the crisis in the scale of infections are unclear, efficient number of deaths from covey. 19 and infections are low. beijing insists it's being transparent with the data, but hospitals seem to be struggling with cases coy, doors and car parks have been used to treat patients. and pharmacies are reported to be running out of medicine. but a growing number of countries such as the u. s. italy, spain, malaysia and japan of announce restrictions on travelers from china, prompting criticism from beijing or county. all countries sco at 19. prevention and
9:12 pm
control measures should be scientific and appropriate and should not affect normal people to people contact as well as normal exchange and cooperation in recent days, many leading medical experts for multiple countries have said that there is no need to impose restrictions on entry of travelers from china, the warehouse experts in the united states and the e. u advising waste water from airplanes arriving from china be tested to detect any new variant. malaysia says it will do just that. so to william shaft now as the medical director of the national foundation for infectious diseases, he explains why analyzing waste water will help testing waste water has become increasingly common throughout the united states and testing waste water from playing for passengers in coming from china will give a sense of which strains of the virus are out there. that's very important because the chinese government has been very forthcoming. providing data on the various
9:13 pm
variance of covet that are circulating in china. but if we test the waste water on, from planes coming from china, we may be able to get a better sense of whether new variants are cropping up in china, variance of possible concern. could they evade the protection of our current vaccines? and so the war we know about the nature of the viruses that are circulating in china, the better prepared the rest of the world can be there so much at home testing. and so many people not even bothering to get tests that we have a we don't have as good a sense of weird this virus is spreading in the united states. so testing, waste border actually is giving us an additional helpful information so that we can
9:14 pm
track the spread of this virus in this country. and now using it in this circumstance. airplanes coming in from china. that's a very clever idea. but to move ahead of a news our including unattached about la interior on albania is a stable country. but a growing numbers may know helping me with the lives of mobiles, trying to reach the pe illegally. and it's $4.00 to $11.00 players is suspended after this incident. to north america's talk, basketball lea ah, as it was, government is declared 3 days of morning following the death of football legend paling tributes of pouring in from around the world for the 82 year old who died out for a long battle with cancer. these been described as the eternal king and the most

9:16 pm
a 3 times will cup winner. so he'll go down in history of the legacy he left behind the will last forever. he inspired many of the great players of to day argentina's world company, captain leonor massey post a photo saying simply rest in peace. brazil forward name are says pele changed the sport. he turned football into art and gave voice to the poor. but it all could have turned out very differently. speaking to al jazeera in 2007, the police spoke at the pressure he was under to take another patio. my father said ok, no, i don't want to be a sucker play football player. you have to say that have to be a duck though, profits. my mother used to say now don't place, but i have a luck, but the not is not the everyone who has the kind of a particular one of the biggest debates in sport is whether he was better than argentinian legend, madonna, who died in 2020 in 2000 people awarded them joint player of the century. but
9:17 pm
pele was unique. his name is almost none of us with football building on monday. his body will be taken to santos, the place where it all began, and his final resting place. vince mullin, al jazeera, well joining us from the city of santos is monica yanna. care for local football club is where pele began his career. and monica, i gather your, the pele museum, took us to the next few days. the preparations for the funeral will. ordinary brazilians have a chance to mourn his death. yes, exactly. there will be a 24 hour wait. he's sam said to leave us. so some follow and come here to samples in the early hours of monday. then during 24 hours, he will, there will be awake inside the stadium where he,
9:18 pm
the santa stadium, we're used to play and the public will be able to see him. also they are expecting our players, our former players, a fee for authority saw many people were expecting a lot of people in santos. and the following day, he will be taken to the cemetery. he had already picked the place where he wanted to be very did some vertical cemetery. he picked. he bought a space on the 9th floor that overlooks the stadium. and surprisingly enough, his 100 year old mother has survived him. she's still alive living here in santos. all right, monica yanna care live for us has sent us great to speak to you. while gustavo ribeiro is found to of the brazilian report, an online magazine, he joins this from brazil's capital, a brazilian welcome to the news hour before palo football. of course was seen as
9:19 pm
a sport dominated by european teams by the so called old world. how did he change all that? no, i think pilla show the brazil could win, especially because after the 1950 world coupling brazil last the final to uruguay at home. that's for the serious dance to brazil and prize. and even there was a writer who said that he created this sort of trade complex in brazil, that brazilian never sought the could win. and they could shine on an international level and show that that was possible. he, thanks to him. we won 3 world cups, especially the word copy 9580970 and i mean was it and love football. but i would say that was in a more into winning than just the sport of football. and for that fell,
9:20 pm
it was pivotal to making brazil the lambda football. yes, winning certainly has its benefits. of course, we've just set the world cup. hearing katha plays often said to help turn football into a truly global game. is it fair to say the world cup something he played a role in building yes, and i would say that he is one of the characters that introduced football to its mother and age. when he was playing, he combined the sheer talents, physical prowess, and this commitment of excellence that we see today in players. i mean, he was a transcendence force of nature. and yes, if the world cup has the state as he has today, he has a lot just think pilot for that special that, that 1970 team which is still regarded as the best national team of all time. and i mean, i know as a result and i'm biased to say, but i would agree with that assessment skills, of course,
9:21 pm
allowed him to escape poverty. one set of jobs shining shoes. i believe i'm born only 52 years after slavery was abolished in brazil. what has his success meant for other generations of black brazilians from humble backgrounds? well, it, when the long way into showing black people their importance in brazil because brazil for a long time, has denied the importance of black women and men in our history. a lot of black heritage has been buried, especially when i started to make his career and having a black men as the most decorated present in other countries as the most famous present. and i have ever lived goes a long way into making that population proud as well. and if i may,
9:22 pm
when i was sports minister, 990. he helped introduce the piece of legislation that changed the rules of football and how really labor relations between clubs and players happen. and he said that the time that he helped free players from slavery. so to make that parent, i think it's interesting as well. yeah, i'm building on what you just said. i mean, we could probably think of the way the sport had evolved. i'm thinking of the multi $1000000.00 contract. so i'm thinking of the modification of the game. what do the, what were his thoughts about that? but we have to say the po itself contributed to that fast of mother and football because he was a brand. so used to talk about himself as a 3rd person. and he made a distinction between ad. so there was an accidental demand and tailored the legend . the icon and he even got some push back in brazil because he was,
9:23 pm
he tried to steer away from controversy, political issues, people often compared him from, i don't know who was much more vocally political statements and avoided that. so i think in many ways also contributed to the fact that the mother and football as well because roberto from the brazilian report, great to have you on the news. thank you for having me. in other news, ma'am? mazda ousted lida. ang, sushi has been convicted of 5 charges of corruption and sentenced to 7 more years in jail. after the military sees power in 2021, the nobel peace prize laureate was charged and convicted of a range of offenses was already serving a 26 year sentence time on the bill reports. it's just the latest chapter in a decade long story. but it could be one of the last downtown,
9:24 pm
the verdicts handed down in the military court add a further 7 years to the 26 year sentence. sushi has already received that. she'll now remain in custody. and away from government for the rest of her life. along with the former president when she was convicted on charges of illegally profiting from the rental and purchase agreements of a rescue helicopter. these 5 charges follow 14 previous convictions on charges ranging from gross corruption to flouting cove with measures and importing illegal walkie talkies for me and mars ruling military, this might look like victory. but for the countries resistance movement, their fight for a civilian government is not over. my title, i am all this verdict will allergy. i still resist the movement as the belief. they must work hard for their freedom and the release of their fellow comrades who are currently in prison. the verdict might also energize the international community.
9:25 pm
immediately after they were announced, human rights watch criticize the convictions as part of what had called a blatantly unjust campaign. we're going to see an ongoing, a deepening civil war in me and more. and so she has basically been silent. she's been taken out of the process. she will remain a very potent symbol for particularly the people in so guiding and monty one other areas of, of cor existence where the definite barman's are the vast majority. and even before the verdicts, the united nations security council had adopted its 1st resolution on me and more and more than 7 decades. it condemned the execution of activists called for the release of all arbitrarily detained prisoners, including sushi, and demanded an immediate end to all forms of violence. it also called for the immediate implementation of a peace plan that was proposed back in may of 2021. by the association of southeast
9:26 pm
asian nations, known as the 5 points consensus. that plan called for an immediate cessation of violence to and constructive dialogue among all parties. but it was all but ignored by the me and mar rulers. but even us, he on itself seemed to lose interest. and so for now, the leader, once known, simply as the lady, is expected to be allowed to leave her prison, caught us and serve her sentence. in more familiar confinement, the lakeside home that is already served as a prison for some 15 years tame on a billy al jazeera, singapore or christopher girl s as the director of the up man more accountability project. he question the legitimacy of the court holding the trial. these secret military courts are frankly, hand root cause there's no proper scrutiny from what we know about them. they don't meet international standards. there's no right to proper defense lawyers getting
9:27 pm
very little time with that clients and they clearly do not meet international standards. in any case, this is an illegal johnson which these power attempted to see in, in legal coo. so anything that flows from that, for example, this whole system is clearly going to be in adjustment, which is why them or accountability project not condemns this, this, these 3rd, if they're clearly false. as far as the analysis is concerned, i think there are 2 things that important things need to be set. first of all is comes just days after that security council resolution. and it's a very defined actor, the clear thing that the nano john to this fatal juncture is not going to be bound by this decision of the security council to release political prisoners, of course, including sam to cheat. the 2nd thing is, it is a very clear indication that this farcical election, which has been called the next year is going to be exactly that. it's going to be
9:28 pm
false in the elections of november 2020 uncensored. she and her party one over whelming victory. the military batt parties were completely wiped out. and this is rather cat handed attempt to try and take control of the political process at the time with the loss control the situation on the ground. they are not, in effect of control, and frankly, this decision is going to inflame passions even further. and it's very likely to lead to violence. so i would just say around, we report from cost of where officials are trying to diffuse that potentially explosive situation. we find out why environment many lists are worried about the so called go ships in rio de janeiro and in sport. one of india is leading cricketers, isn't hospice allow for serious about story. ah

9:33 pm
cruise missile attacks across ukraine, the ukraine, and sorry to say in the early as of this morning, 16 so called kamikaze drones were intercepted 7 of which, over the capital city kia, they say that one government building was damaged by fragments of one of these intercepted drones is also talk of superficial damage to a residential building. no casualties reported last night presidency lensky, highlighting again the kind of difficulties that millions of people across the country, a suffering having to jewel these rolling blackouts and lack of access to heating in the winter months. he said that the worst affected areas were key. have levin and or desa, the russian and chinese president say they plan to deepen ties and expand cooperation between the 2 countries. they made the remarks during a video conference on friday. let me putin said he expect c g ping to make a state visit in the coming month. the relationship between moscow and beijing
9:34 pm
continues to take on greater significance following russia invasion of ukraine, a so alias, the of symposia, a special place in the entire range of russian chinese corporation. and our relations is occupied by military and military technical corporation. which contributes to ensuring the security of our countries and maintaining stability and key regions. we aim to strengthen the cooperation between the out forces of russia and china. what? yeah, with anybody in the face of a difficult and far from unambiguous international situation, we are ready to build up strategic cooperation with russia. provide each other with development opportunities, be global partners for the benefit of the peoples of our countries, and in the interest of stability throughout the world. meanwhile, diplomatic efforts, the united nations have failed to stop the war in ukraine, but the u. n is provided aid and helped broker a deal that reopened global grain exports from the black sea on tip americana to james bay's reports from the un headquarters. when president putin launched his
9:35 pm
invasion on the 24th of february, it was the start of death and destruction in ukraine. but the reverberations were felt around the world, including almost 8000 kilometers away in the corridors of the un in new york law. north, i call to order the 914030 recession of the security council. what had happened was clear cut. a permanent member of the un security council had breached one of the main tenants of the organization's founding charter. one country should never invade another russia's veto power meant the security council was paralyzed. instead, on 3 occasions, russia was left almost isolated in votes in the un general assembly. summit feared the war would lead to the virtual collapse of the un the morning. but looking back the secretary general of the un antonio guitarist told me he was pleased that the organisation had some limited successes on the ground. the when is
9:36 pm
a complex organization that has different dimensions and different parts. obviously for the security council, these wars as been her, a very dramatic factor of inefficiency. but these war has demonstrated the enormous value over humanitarian action lab by un and un agencies. these as demonstrated that the awareness, probably the only platform that was able to seriously talk with both sides to try to solve not the war unfortunately, but some specific problems that they have that emetic impacts at the global level. the un organized evacuation, not just of ukrainian fighters, but also women and children from the other style still works and mario, poland may then in july, working with took here. the u. n. arranged
9:37 pm
a deal to allow green ships to once again, cross the black sea, partly alleviating the global food crisis. i think that could, harish has really stepped up in response to this war. his previously had a reputation for caution. he's had a reputation for not challenging the major powers, but in this case he has stepped in personally to a lot of diplomacy around humanitarian issues in ukraine and also the global food crisis. and i think he has gained credibility on the world stage as a result of his efforts, the secretary general has made it clear that he doesn't see any chance of meaningful negotiations to end the war any time soon. instead, the u. n. is focusing on trying to further alleviate the suffering they want to extend and expand the black sea grain initiative and to work with the international committee of the red cross to arrange a mass prisoner exchange between ukraine and russia. despite the u. n's limited
9:38 pm
diplomatic achievements over the past 10 months. the situation is still extremely delicate. the u. s. in its nato allies want the u. n. to send an investigation team to examine claims that iranian drones have been used by russia. but al jazeera understands the secretary general is stalling because he fears russia will then pull out of the grain deal. james bay's al jazeera of the united nations palestinian protest as have confronted israeli forces during a raid in nablus and the occupied west bank. the demonstrate of her rocks were mass gunman, open fire. more palestinians have died this year in both garza and the occupied west banks as reckless began in 2005 hundreds of people lose their lives every year, trying to cross the english channel in the hopes of reaching the united kingdom, the number of albanians attempting this dangerous journey is increased over the
