12:07 pm
who is the executive director of oxford. i'm international you were 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 is shameful. that, you know, one percent of humanity is taking double the wealth of the whole 909 percent combined till it's a outpace 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 accelerated accumulation is accelerating in the middle of this crisis that we're facing globally. what about the geographical spread of this billionaires are all around the world, but do you see differences? so 1000000000 is 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 discontinues with the accumulation. there's also many countries that have no form of capital gains tax or any form of taxation that really help we distribute this

12:09 pm
a russian defense ministry says the exercises are defensive. some analysts say moscow is pushing minsk to join the war in ukraine. russian troop numbers and military activity have increased in battle roots in recent weeks. moscow launched attacks on ukraine from the country nearly a year ago. and the hush hm is live in moscow for a so what a russian official saying about the, the goal of the exercises this time well, sunny, the main line from moscow is that these drills are mainly, are focused on operational compatibility. so they're not offensive. there are more of technical drills that are going to concentrate and focus on petroleum gas supplies. however, the significance here is that these drills come less than a month after president putin's visit to barrels, where he agreed with president lucas shank off willows on providing training to
12:10 pm
a better was pilots on using a planes that are that can use on conventional weapons. this is the significance. yeah. and other significance is that many are concerned that the build up of the russian, a military presence in barrels could be in a way as an attempt to distract attention within ukraine from the east and borders towards the northern borders. and then this way, the ukrainian forces could divert their own presence. i mean, not just focusing on the east and fraud, then they have to concentrate also also the northern front. and this is going to kind of create a kind of confusion within the ukrainian forces. however, these are all speculations, this is all analysis. the main issue is that these drills are continuing and they
12:11 pm
would continue for another 15 days. and this is not the 1st time that both military are conducting joint drills. just few months ago, they had also some ground forces drills and they're planning for more of such and the coming weeks some months. or i will leave that with ali hashem. but let's take this to kia, where we have natasha bottler. so water, ukrainian officials, how are they saying these joint military exercises in the north, hello, any military activity on better versus a border is of course going to be of great concern to authorities and keith. they've been watching over the past few weeks. a build up of russian and better russian forces along that border more military activity exercises. and now these latest aviation drills, which are expected to last 2 weeks now,
12:12 pm
the defense minister bet arose may well say that these are just defensive drills, but of course, keep not buying any of it. they are being as cautious as possible. they know that it was in february last year, of course, that russia launched. it's offensive in ukraine from territory in better us just over the border. so they are going to do everything they can to protect that board that they've been a bolstering it's. they've been putting up fortifications and sending more forces just last week, ukraine's president volota may zalinski said that it was very important to be on a lot to on that border. they've also been ukrainian military officials have been talking about the possibility of missiles being a launch to from territory in belarus. so not of a cushion. indeed, in keith, you have though some intelligence we heard from the pentagon recently though, some intelligence experts who was saying things like, look, this could just be tactic by the russians to try and distract ukrainian forces and
12:13 pm
try to lure them away from a fighting in the east, where russia is continuing to fight ukrainian forces, particularly around those areas of solar dot. i'm back, mort. all right, we'll leave it there. thanks so much. natasha buffalo. in today's here, 5 man of gone on trial over stam paid that killed $100.00. $35.00 people at a football match in october of 2022. it was one of the world worth 14 disaster, 3 police officers and to match organizing, charged with criminal negligence. all things that they face up to 5 years in prison found guilty. jessica washington has more from default this is likely to be a highly charged trial. there is strict security in place as the trial takes place in serbia, not in my lung where the tragedy took place. at least 800 personnel, a standing by to secure the court. the defendants will not be physically present in
12:14 pm
court. rather, they will simply be online. they will also be no live broadcasting off the proceedings to day. 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 that we've been in contact with since we were in my long 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 there will be these restrictions at sir baya, to ensure that people from milan cannot enter to watch the trial. but also that there won't be any live broadcasting in that's something that they say, or 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 lung. some simply satisfied and relieved that the trial is finally taking place and hoping that they might get answers to
12:15 pm
some of the questions they've been trying to have answered. since this tragedy took place. namely, why was 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? but there's an understanding that this is likely to be a lengthy quest 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 was that their children simply died from their perspective the children were murdered and they believed that stronger charges of murder and a gross human rights violations. should have been laid against the suspects. so i had and i'll just sarah on the move, the world's largest migration of people begins and hundreds of millions get ready to mock the lunar new year. and we look at who's behind an attack during a church service, and he sent that across the republic of congo. ah,
