11:11 am
the pole is observing a day of morning after its worst ag crash in 3 decades. the plains black box has been recovered. 68th of 72 people on board now being confirmed dead. the thea alonzo croft went down in port huh. oxfam says extreme wealth and extreme poverty have increased to maintain his speech for the 1st time. in 25 years is calling for higher taxes and the rich of the release of that oxfam report coincides with the 1st day of the world. economic forum in the swiss town of dab was our diplomatic editor. james bass is there. he joins us live from davis. so james, i was trying to ask you earlier about how this call from ox found the coal to try and counter wealth disparity. how is it resonating amongst people gathering baron davis? well,
11:12 am
it's obviously the timing as been deliberately timed as people arrive here and also the formal opening session of the world cannot make form is in 24 hours time. and this report is pretty start reading for those arriving here. $42.00 trillion us dollars created since 2020 in the last 2 years, but 2 thirds of that have gone to the top one percent in terms of wealth around the world. let's go back to gabriela boucher, who is the executive director of walked into national. you are telling us, in terms of your findings, were you surprised when you did this research and you saw how stalk the data was? this is shocking and beyond it, it's same for that. you know, one percent of humanity is taking double the wealth of the whole 909 percent combined. so it's a outpaced this the what was happening in the last 10 years, which was that they were having half and half. so we can see that wealth accelerate
11:13 am
accumulation is accelerating in the middle of this crisis that we're facing globally. and now in terms of coven 19 the pandemic. how much do you think that was a factor in this? so the panoramic has been a factor in many different ways. it has actually meant that that has be more accumulation because regardless of what happens, rain or shine billionaires do well in any situation. so that's what happen in this case. but the majority of humanity is, of course, doing much worse. we know that one in 10 people is facing hunger at the moment. workers across the world are seeing their wages not go up in pace with inflation. so de facto and getting poorer and, and the inflation also means they can access less. at the same time, what happens is taxes are mainly levied, own the average person, the worker, and much less on the billionaires, on the richest. what about the geographical spread of this billionaires are all
11:14 am
round the world, but do you see differences? so billionaires are mostly in north america in europe, but also half of them are in countries where there is, for example, no inheritance tax. so they pass on their wells fully to their descendants and discontinued with the accumulation. there's also many countries that have no form of capital gains tax or any form of taxation that really helped redistribute this enormous wealth. so what we're calling for is countries can introduce new tax and discussing the country, what is fair and in certain countries like nigeria or in india. we know that well, sex asian could be a significant change for the budget of the country and would enable them to invest much more in health education and things that matter to everyone. now you release this as everyone arrives here in dallas. i know that's no coincidence why release it today. it's very important that this is discussed here because 1000000000 is come here. the seals of large companies, presidents, heads of state. and this is
11:15 am
a moment for all of us to think what has been the acceptance thinking of the last 3040 years that somehow wealth is created, it trickles down and everybody benefits live. so ships and we see just list the super yachts. we really need to rethink and understand that that needs to be a fair system that works not only for the privilege few, but for society as a whole. and part of that importantly as wells taxation. and that's why we want to put it here on the agenda. in terms of this meeting, you are an attendee in diverse, the world economic nomic for him. does it still have a place? is there still a point of coming here? it's important that we discuss ideas and but more important and is that we act on them. and we know that several governments are now looking at tax reforms and our introducing these changes. and we want this to be a bigger wave. more government can take it into account and we also know from, from surveys that are done in different countries, that the majority of people support wealth tax sion. so we are asking governance
11:16 am
full side, are you on the majority of the people or just the privilege? few, gabriela boucher, executive director of oxfam. thank you very much for joining us here on out to 0. as devils gets underway, as ever, there will be a cost of characters from the political and business and economic world here over the next week or so. we have the chance to germany, the vice prime of china, the president of the earth in commission, the un secretary general, the president of south africa, among others who are attending this event this week. so me and we'll try and speak to as many of those as possible. all right, thanks so much james. based there. last we mentioned earlier, russia and batteries have begun 2 weeks of air force, military drills and the 2 countries of hell joined exercises in the past. years russia began it's offensive in ukraine. this time the battle russian defense ministry says the tactical flight exercise is all defensive in nature. now there
11:17 am
are concerns. moscow may be pushing mince to join the war in ukraine. there's been a law about a build up of russian troops in bellows and the tree activity in the country. in recent weeks. moscow have used its neighbor as a spring board launch attacks and ukraine almost a year ago. on the hashem is life for us again in moscow. sally again, once again what a russian officials saying about why they're conducting these joint air force drills with bella, luce, what's the goal? what's that? what's being said here. the most good is that these drills are for operational compatibility. so just a few weeks after president tutoring visit to bella was to minsk by the end of december. and now we see that the russian aerospace
11:18 am
pores going to bella was conducting this drill that now with respect to the details of the stress, there are going to be more technical, as you mentioned, more on supplies patrols. however, there are many fears that or concerns that these are just just the beginning before the the, the conducting of the training of the a better with pilots which was agreed on. and the president put into visit during president put in visit to bill that was last month. it was agreed that russia will start training the better route pilots on using the year. so whole you planes for and that will be copying on conventional weapons. so this is the issue that maybe some people are concerned over. there is another issue that's also being taken into consideration that these drills are also shifting the attention
11:19 am
inside ukraine from the borders with russia to the borders with bella was. and this will cause that the ukrainian authorities are the green and government will also move forces towards the north, the med, just to take into consideration that there might be any kind of shift on the, on the front. so this isn't generally what's being said with respect to the, to the reads. however, this is expected to continue and this is not the 1st drill that goes between the russians and bella was government army. this is continuing, but this is the 1st time since 2 years that the better with ad force and the russian ad force are conducting a kind of joint drills to get up. and it's really significant that it's taking place at the time of the war in ukraine. all right,
11:20 am
we'll leave it there. thanks so much. allie hashim. let's continue this though. we didn't. tasha butler, she joins us now live from key. if so, no different perspective then care. but they, why that these joint exercises are preparations for another operation from the north follow any activity on the better russian border is, of course going to be of concern to authorities in keith they've been watching now over the past few weeks. this build up all russian forces and better russian forces on that border. more military hardware coming in the 2 sides, carrying out a number of military exercises, the latest, these exercises that are supposed to last for 2 weeks. i of course that is a concern and even though the defense minister embarrass says, these are just defensive exercises. that's enough to worry officials in ukraine
11:21 am
because of course they know that it was from a territory in bed. arista, russia launched it's offensive in february last year. even though belarus and his forces went directly involved, they know that they have to be careful and take every precaution necessary. why the ukraine you're present? volota may zalinski just last week said that ukrainian forces along that border must be bolstered. we know that they've already been building fortifications for some time now to be ready unprepared all along that border there. although some intelligence experts, we the pentagon, for example last week, who have said that they don't necessarily expect any new offensive a from at the northern board of ukraine over the better russian border at any time . soon. however, what they do says is could be a tactic by the russians to try and distract ukraine and try and lose some ukranian forces away from fighting in the east, up to the north. all right,
11:22 am
and that's natasha battle for us from give in indonesia. 5 men have gone on trial over a stamp that killed a $135.00 people at a football match. in october 2022. it was one of the world's worth forcing disasters. 3 police officers and 2 match organizes charged with criminal negligence, causing death. they faced up to 5 years in prison, the found guilty jessica washington, more from jakarta. this is likely to be a highly charged trial. there is strict security in place as the trial takes place in sarah via not in my along with the tragedy took place at least 800 personnel standing by to secure the court. the defendants will not be physically present in court. rather, they will simply be online, they will also be no live broadcasting off the proceedings today. and that is something of a disappointment for the community in milan, who feel deeply traumatized by the incident that happened. some of the families
11:23 am
that we've been in contact with since we were in my lung when the tragedy took place and now we're still speaking with them. now say that they are deeply disappointed that firstly, they are not allowed to see the trial physically because they will be these restrictions at sewer baya, to ensure that people from my lung cannot enter to watch the trial. but also that they won't be any live broadcasting. and that's something that they say they have some questions about why that is the case and that, that they are seeking accountability and they feel they deserve. they should be able to see these proceedings as they take place, a mixed reaction from the community and my long some simply satisfied and relieved that the trial is finally taking place and hoping that they might get answers to some of the questions they've been trying to have answered since this tragedy took place, namely why with the stadium so unsafe for fans? why did police bring cheer gus to the stadium? and indeed, why was it fired at the stands? and why was it fired at all?
11:24 am
but there's an understanding that this is likely to be a lengthy request for justice. some families also disappointed some parents who lost their children in this tragedy say that they don't want to have this framed is that their children simply died from their perspective. the children were murdered and they believed that stronger charges of murder and gross human rights violations should have been laid against the suspects. hundreds of millions of people are traveling in china and time for the new luna new year, despite fears, a further covey. 19 outbreaks. health authorities have announced nearly 60000 hospital deaths in the past 5 weeks. that so sharp increase on previously reported figures. the lunar new year is considered the world's largest migration of people between the you reports from outside the beijing train station. well this is the 1st time in almost 3 years. a people are able to actually go home and spend the luna new year. the most important annual holiday here in china,
