1:07 pm
landbrick's decision comes as germany faces pressure to increase its military support to ukraine. well, let's get more on this now with dominant cane and berlin and we'll have resignation . have any impact on germany's support for you crime? in the short term, this is clearly a headache for the chancellor of germany who has to appoint a new defense. melissa, probably somebody from within his own party, and that person is going to have to get up to speed pretty quickly in so far as the war ukraine is concerned in so far as germany's contributions to ukraine are concerned. there are several meetings that that person is gonna have to be briefed on. we know that the u. s. defense minister is going to be here in berlin in the next few days, meeting this new person. what sort of contribution, what sort of debate will there be between these 2 allies? that's the short term in the long term. it's not that likely that a person appointed from within all of shots own party is necessarily going to have
1:08 pm
a divergent view from mr. schwartz's own view about the situation in ukraine. the interesting question is, what will this person bring to the defense ministry? what will it, what will this person do in so far as the military in germany is concerned? there are many people who ask questions, how it can be that germany, even if it were to decide to send tax to you great, which it hasn't yet. even if it were to do that, why would it take so long? the talking about not before 2024 were as they see other countries such as the united kingdom already saying that they're prepared to send challenger to tax to ukraine, pretty much straight away. so lots of things in the, in tray for whoever emerges as the new defense minister. but it is unlikely that there will be a profound change in german policy brought about solely by whoever replaces christine lambaste. okay, thank you very much. that's dominant cane for us in berlin. belarus and rushes

1:14 pm
a lot richer over the last 2 years. they messed more than 40 trillion dollars worth of new wealth, high costs of living and inflation and making the disparity worse food prices and now unaffordable for many, with roughly $800000000.00 people going hungry, oxfam is calling for higher taxes for the rich around the globe it says a 5 percent tax on the world's 1000000 is an end. billionaires would raise about $1.00 trillion dollars a year, and that could lift $2000000000.00 people out of poverty and south africa. the wealth disparity is clearly evident in alexandra township. it's located a few kilometers from the st on district that is often referred to as africa's richest square mile. one resident there described the dire economic inequality in the area. i. my name is raymond lee below unemployed youth
1:15 pm
from alexandra intronis, big south africa where living hen lx is a daily challenge. because most of the people who are, who are based here unemployed. so therefore we make means to survive. st in is the richest square mile in africa, an lx. we've got 2 months that we frequently used on a day to day basis. st in is a place that we require or consider as a place of privilege. the unemployment rate in alex's verified, in actual fact the food pus here on a normal way committee. you'd swear that there's no pets in working in this area. because at around 11 telford, look in the afternoon, it find the streets, food with people who are walking around, hopeless looking for jobs in of nothing to do. we have 5 high schools or that have
1:16 pm
to, you know, save a population that is as high as this one already, as we speak. this schools that have over 70 lynas in one class will continue. and the results are the quality of education they droppings. how come to to every morning? the 1st sight to when i look outside of my window is the view of sent in. and it's beautiful landscape in high infinities and then on its own, oh lisman, myspace of hopelessness and feeling rejected by the government that we so believe. but also i think one can help but have mixed feelings. when ever you look at that conditions is when you have an element of
1:17 pm
feeling, hope there's a bit of hope that lives that comes to your mind. knowing that there's people who come from eggs who are now living incentive, and hopefully did one day new and l a p as an unsightly warranty, and end up living in those areas. but let's bring in max lawson now. he's head of policy on inequality at oxfam and joins us now from london. and this report makes for pretty stark reading. are you surprised at all it just how dramatic the findings are i'm surprised that the acceleration in the real wealth going to the top one percent. i mean, you could say we're in the roaring twenties, that used to be pretty standard is just one second to capture hall when you well, no, i mean that was a calling to start with a shriek to time when you since 2020. so i celebration and then when you jog, surprised that as your piece to said about south africa all over the world,
1:18 pm
huge re people in here, the u. k. 1000000 people now, i think for me was surprising. you knew is the acceleration in wild berry? i'm sorry many people are early. i mean, is this down to the coven 19 pandemic? is that the magic driver force behind the rise and inequality? i think it is definitely a combination of crises starting with kind of 19. and now the cost of living cross is that a hurting peak of the gotten the mice. but then at the top, yes it is. it's about hundreds of billions of dollars that governments pooled into the cloud economy. jerry, kind of 19000 my thing for governments to do some of that money help the poorest people, but a huge amount that money ended up driving out asset prices. house prices stock sanchez and ended up basically in the bank in some rich people. so it's not like
1:19 pm
these people are working twice as hard of it twice as entrepreneurial, twice as clever is just the kind of buying from that. if you like, a government marketing. that's why we think we need to clue that money back through taxation. because then we can continue to help ordering those with cloudy day, we're just getting the alpha where to live that lives. and just on that, what, what does ex oxfam actually calling for? is it just give us as simple as tax the rich i really is. not the you i'm calling for my this week to hey, bill gates already you know, the relationship tax rate of 60 percent. it's really mainstream now to say that the directions people really, the common sense that all this money has ended up in that and when not just ordering people, but government to facing was economic problems. that crises across africa that we
1:20 pm
need to get this money back from the rich culture. really simple message that tax the rich and also by excitingly, countries like norway, spanish come up are all interest using or encompassing stations. we think there is a lot of momentum going around to do what we need to do. let me know the situation . my jeff pays an effective tax rate of less than one concern. whereas the average to about 30 percent. and surely we have to fix these outside down. we're going to pull subsidize the rich. well, you release this report as everyone arrives and i've also seen no coincidence. what are you hoping to achieve by doing that? i think we want to add to the sense of mental worldwide. that is common sense that the richest people should pay tax to help people through these most crises, life, hundreds of millionaires coming out to support great attack section of the rich
1:21 pm
this really long time. i'm probably going to use this to put as much pressure on the government direction people in the world to help us so. okay, thank you so much for joining us on this news. how that is, mix lawson to hit of policy on, in the policy at oxford, and thank you. well, the philippines hes one of the widest wealth gaps in southeast asia. some politicians are pushing for a wealth tax on billionaires in the country, but others say the idea could backfire barnaby. lo has more from manila we are at what's called a could be was for now these are direct farm to market retail outlet that the philippine government under president and vulnerable market junior has set up all over metro manila. this is to help residents here. battle story, food prices, the inflation rate back in december was an 8 point one percent. that's
1:22 pm
a 14 year high. so as you can see, is very busy behind me. there has been a steady stream of people here. now there is a short line that it's warming frequent software here tell me that sometimes there is a long line here, but they will ensure that they will endure the crowd. they will endure the heat. and there is also a limit of supply here, but they say that they have very little weight because if they go to the commercial market, then there is something that their budget cannot afford. and you need to be resourceful and go to where you can buy cheap things, but you can on the growth with the year 2022 has been on the upside. the 3rd quarter of the year saw a 7.6 percent g d p growth. now a major factor or a major driving force will household consumption. but get this on the 3.9 percent of that consisted of basic food items. a huge factor really was what called revenge
1:23 pm

1:25 pm
went on behind opportunity with yet find out. can you just give us an idea of who he is and some of the contacts about how important his role in the mafia has been? yeah, i mean, this is clearly fantastic news, but we shouldn't pretend that he's some super boss or something at this stage or not. they're missing the nato was the youngest member of a leadership group within the sicilian matthew that took control of the sicilian math here in the early 19 eighties century going massacring all their rifles and then mounted a major attack on the italian state, most notoriously murdering heroic anti math here magistrates to run the phone call and the unpardonable sin ino in 992 and then staging a terrorist bombing campaign on the italian mainland. all of this aimed at trying
1:26 pm
to get the state to back down what was gaining momentum as a major all sorts against organized crime. and that home slope has continued such the motto missing. and then i was the last of that leadership group still launch. what message does the send other mafia bosses in italy will? it's a very, it's a very important thing. symbolic gesture really, but ultimately the state will win and the state is winning. in the case of the sicilian, the, the structures, the hierarchical structures of the sicilian math year. i have been ground down, have been dismantled, several times the city since they only $99.00 to the city and math years tried to set up again its commission. it's so the ruling committee on each time it's filed
1:27 pm
because it's been monitored and observed by the, the italian warranties and everybody involved has been arrested. so this is yet another signal of, i think the decline of the sicilian matthew. do you think that his wrist will create a power vacuum? the power vacuums already there. i mean, the fax machine was not from where he was arrested. he's from the province of bunny on the western tip of sicily. and normally speaking, his or 30 would not extend beyond drop any, but because in race is the math here in the math, your capital, if you like your lateral sicily capital has been in such trouble. he, they've tried to invoke his or dorothy various times when they try to reorganize. so the power vacuum is, is already back because i know that are struggling for leadership struggling for
