a global minimum corporate tax rate. yes, tax can be boring, but this is what pays for our schools. roads at health care and social security. so who would be against a proposal like that and could actually be unfair. unfair gail in berlin and this is the day oh, lose. the global minimum tabs at the higher rate would be a very powerful instrument to cooperate. text avoidance. some countries that benefits from test competition has no interest in high google, meaning if it becomes pointless for companies to book process

or to move activities to low tech's places. this could change the face of the ratio . the also on the day germany could say a victory for the far right this weekend. the anti migration alternative for germany parties, neck and neck, with chancellor medical conservatives and a key state election. the i want to give one more week um we want our old ways back . we don't want to take anything away from anyone. we just one fact the country that existed before the wave of immigration velo license loans. we want the old state of things for them to start the mission going for the welcome to the day where today we start with tax and before eyes glaze over. let me get britain's finance minister wishing sumac chance of the exchequer to tell you what you already knew. this is important, and here's why. this global digital

economy will rely on the with the log in i would just say the world will not money, couldn't afford a decent microphone. mr. soon as we're speaking, as the finance ministers of 7 of the world's richest economies met in london to try and agree a worldwide minimum corporate tax rate, united states a suggested 15 percent regardless of where companies headquartered. so let's put that in context. japan has the highest corporate tax rates at 31 percent followed by germany. and you can see the u. s. and the u. k. in the middle and the switzerland and ireland at the bottom island with the rate of just 12 and a half percent. that's a key reason why firms like facebook and apple have chosen it as their european base. let's bring in the alex combo, whose chief executive of the tax justice network and the visiting fellow at kings

college london. welcome to d w. so does the world need a worldwide corporate tax rate? it really does, you know, this is about ending a process that's been going for, for decades 7 as rich as soon as i said, really all the way back to 1900 twenty's. this race to the bottom, a competition, not for the place where the real activity takes place. but for the places where you can shift the profits. so you have your real activity in the u. k or france or germany, but you shift your profits into the netherlands, or luxembourg or king, and you end up paying very little tax. it's about interrupting that process and getting back on track with actually raising revenues to pay for the public services that we will need. so if all these countries, all these rich countries are losing so much money, why haven't they acted on this before?

that's a really good question. one of the problems when the league of nations set these rules in the twenties and thirties, they were really the group of imperial powers. now they're, they're equivalent nowadays is the o, e c, d, the group of rich countries in which the g 7 group of the most powerful countries really dominates. and they're faced with a bit of a bit of a blind here. on the one hand, they want the revenues, and especially in the pandemic, they have the same needs as every other country to raise more revenues to pay for their public health systems and recovery process. but these are also the countries where most of the biggest multinational companies all headquartered. and in some ways these countries are kind of like that somehow. what is good for their multi nationals is good for them. and they've ended up kind of supporting the system of tax haven, re of profit shifting in tax abuse that we reckon cost the world about $245000000000.00

in last revenues every year. this is an attempt finally, to get back the risk lou is that the g 7 countries do something that is good for the g 7 countries and not good for the rest of the world. and we need to make sure lower income countries as well. getting a benefit from the reforms that are coming through. okay, so i want to comes out because on the face of it it's basically sounds great. everyone is paying 15 percent and no one gets to run away to our tax haven. but you just picking up on that point, you think that this actually still favors the rich countries where the company is headquartered, rather than the poor countries where the work might actually be done. yeah, it does. look, you talked earlier about the statutory headline tax rates. if we look at somebody like the netherlands, the rate is 25 percent. luxembourg, i think is 28 percent. even island, 12 and a half percent is much higher than the effective rate that multi nationals actually

pay in those countries. often if they can shift their profits in, their only paying 12345 percent as an effective rate. so to begin with, a 15 percent effective rate, even though that's much lower than we'd like, we'd like it to be 25 percent up. but even 15 percent is much higher than the big multi nationals are paying. so that already puts something between $275.00 and perhaps $460000000000.00 of extra revenues on the table each year. but the 2nd question, as you say, is distribution whether to let go the c d, the, you know, this group of rich countries has brought forward a proposal under which almost all of the benefits. all of the topping off of those on the tax profit would go to the headquarters countries now who all the headquarters countries for the biggest multi nationals. it's the g 7 and some other we see the members. so the rest of the world would get very little. we think the g

7 alone, which is about 10 percent of the world's population would get more than 60 percent of lose additional revenues under the cd proposal. the alternative that we put forward and has a lot of support, i think from groups of lower income countries in particular, is to say, will work out the under tax profit. and then we'll share it. not with headquarters countries only, but instead we'll, we'll share it with the countries where the real activity takes place. sure. where the multi nationals have their employees and where they make their sales. and if you do it that way, suddenly you're talking about a benefit. pretty much for everyone. something between 10 and 30 percent of public health budgets in additional revenue runs for countries all income levels who knew tax could be so interesting, alex cover from the tax justice network. thank you so much. you

ah, here in germany, chancellor medical's ruling conservatives could be facing a far right upset in case state elections on sunday holes in the eastern state of faxing. the ann how show the conservative c, d. u, running neck and neck with the far right alternative for germany. it's a key test for see to you later. and chancellor comes in at the army lashes. sunday's pole is the last and regional vote before the general election on the 26th of september. the 1st in 16 years, that won't feature, i'm going to america, have him read houses and they will st. cleveland book is famous for its old town, but with very few tourists visiting, doing the pandemic and go about have turned their attention to the upcoming state election. the far right a if d is said to gain a quarter of the vote and it's moving wants to go to the state parliament for

kaitlin book. he's complaining with slogans like get your country that covers the i would, i will to be gone. we want our old ways back. we don't want to take anything away from anyone and we just went back the country that existed before the wave of immigration, velo loans. we want the old state of things are going to start the mission of the i . if the stokes and immigration sentiment even though just 3 percent of the city residents, immigrants, some see the a f d as a threat to democracy, the party branch here and sex indiana is accused of being at least partly extremist . and it is under civilians by the german intelligence. and this very somebody has moved. he is evidently monitoring each and every opinion, paul low. but for me, one of the most exciting elections since the real cation of germany, known to the mystery. i am stunned that we have 24 percent of the voters and we

aren't even asking ourselves how that came to be. the frog nice boy will have contest clue that says p a. s d promises simple solutions to complex problems. he worries that the a, f, d, could contribute to the exclusion of people with disabilities for example. and he is a professional caregiver for them to even send a letter to sex. and the c d u state premier, demanding that the distance itself more clearly from the speak to because when i see off the door, they discuss values differently than the i s d in a way you can identify with it. it's a christian view of humanity and you're not making it clear enough that they will not cooperate with the script. we spoke to a c, d. u state parliamentarian, 2 years ago he was supposedly open to working with the a f d. but now he's ruling that out of d f because the i f, d is not

a serious partner because it has a very radical profile and 6 in the, in the state parliament over the last few years. the a, f. d has also shown that it doesn't have the skills required to take on the responsibility of governing so far. angle americans, c d u has categorically rules. i'm collaborating with the a f d that the question is, will it stick to it's after the election, even of the city, you need the if the to stay in power. many grades and book eagerly anticipating the 1st projections on sunday evening. the election result will also affect the politics will be on facts and the unhappy board. the germany has officially acknowledged that it committed genocide during its colonial occupation of namibia and then adds the financial settlement to some 1100000000 euros. that money is to be spent over the next 30 years on infrastructure health care and training programs to benefit the herrera

a number of communities who suffered under german exploitation. but many of their representatives are unhappy with the deal under protesting. the w correspondent, utter increased reports. this is an emotional place for many hero here in the village of g. nina, they call this tree 1000 april hundreds of hero, prisoners of war. where hang to you by german troops to go through the neck and hang them. sadness certainly anger. yes, no, not that human being could actually be doing this. for what reason, for the reason that all on sisters simply stood up in the fuse to give up what belong to them, namely, violette, more than 100 years ago,

german soldiers killed almost 100000 hero and nama and the former colony of german south west africa, in 1900 and for lot of fun towards her, gave the so called extermination order. it included women and children. now germany wants to recognize this as a genocide and has pledged 1100000000 euros for development projects. that's what the government's negotiated without record. we know that's a deal between 2 governments develop mandate. it has nothing to do with our demand for promotions. they are fully us. we not truce caro for my attorney general and then maybe and to support as, as considering legal action. but previous attempts have already failed, and several, you escorts are msf, record llc said that he's representing 95 percent of the heroes in the country,

but not everybody in that. maybe see that, that way. we are on our way to the small town of cholera, 2 hours away by com year to the majority of the population as hero and their several traditional lead us the bottom on shift ship think is not in existence, but so you don't see him as he or she is not, is not that i'm not seeing that he's not traditionally does he don't, she has singular viewpoints, some support records, legal actions, others in favor of the deal negotiated by the government. some others wonder re negotiation, demanding more money for this poor region. unfortunately, the negotiating did not come back to us to, to tell us how did the german government arrived at the us, the have concluded. so i'm not yet of the opinion that i did to government should

go ahead with the, with the agreement until the consensus with the effect in the capital vin took that gov, you were led negotiations for the 9000000 government for more than 5 years. the diplomat is also hero. we would like to have had more that after 5. yes. that's been demonstrated. says yes, what's the seems to them? affordable financially. politically, that were has a list of 27 traditional chiefs of the hero and nama wend. volved in the negotiations and it's only said who said they don't accept. so you say the minority basically of the city. now that are people of course, who thinking of their own name, ego story. so i think one can't worry about watch

why not your finishes and follow us? say, i go on over the agreement and supposed to turn the page on a painful chapter of the past, but paramountcy record and his support as against it. they went reparations and new negotiations. oh, today most the 32nd anniversary of beijing, chatham and square massacre. so let's look back at what happened on june the 4th, 1989 for several weeks leading up to that day the square had become a focal point for protests against economic hardship and corruption. students also gathered to demand democratic rights and freedoms from a communist government. but by the 4th of july, chinese leaders sent in the troops to crush the demonstrations and footage of a loan protest and confronting

a line of tongues became one of the most enduring symbols of the violence. no one knows exactly how many people were killed. some say hundreds, others say thousands. so now all sources in hong kong have banned annual vigils or victims for a 2nd year. this, by this several 100 people, data gathered near victoria park in the city. thousands of police were deployed, had made multiple arrests. a light to remember lives last snapped out just moments later. but the resistance of hong kong is proving more difficult to extinguish for 30 band and annual visuals for the victims of the $989.00 gentlemen square massacre. for the 2nd year in a row, they started close at safety restrictions,

although other mass gatherings like concerts and football matches, have resumed. where once a constellation of candles lit up the night, now lives empty. neither the ban nor the threat of a 5 year prison sentence has deterred people from turning out in the streets. hundreds carry license or shine lights from their mobile phones or the whole thing we were being very peaceful we. we lease our candles to commemorate and they found your hold on them because they're accusing us of violating so many different laws. it's an abuse of their power to detain everyone and to silence everyone come though, noticeably absent this year, was vigil organize a child hung who was arrested by plain clothes, police, or legend, crime. promoting unauthorized assembly weeks ahead of the 32nd anniversary of the gentlemen square uprising, the organization, hong kong alliance lead by child,

began promoting the commemoration chow at the time highlighted its importance, is gone beyond just the remembrance of cameron is also goes to the heart of what hong kong, where do we still have the fight? i try to know whether we are still missing. we are, we can still to serve our pre freedom by our own action. it's the question, protest is, are asking themselves face with an intensifying crackdown from beijing. fighting for democracy is getting hotter. ah. okay, so to tell you a story. in 2013, the nfl agreed to pay $865000000.00 in compensation and medical fees to former players whose unfilled concussions had caused the brain injuries and cognitive disorders like dementia. but several black former players received nothing despite

their injuries. turns out this is because of something called race norming which assumes that the average black player has a lower level of cognitive function than white players. so the effect of this is that even though the vast majority of f, l retirees are black, black players has to demonstrate a greater level of damage the white players to get the same pay out and many and with nothing of this week, the nfl promise to stop using race norming, and to review the cases of black players and feel they have been unfairly discriminated against. well, let's get into this with dr. lucy, a chamber who's an associate professor of sociology and american studies at the city university of new york. she's currently working on her 2nd book, the creation of the concussion crisis, about the effects of new changes on american football. welcome to the w. i read the story yesterday and it's done to me. i was last words that get again,

rich white people had found yet another way of cheating. black people is cheating too strong a word in this case. and i think that it goes far beyond merely cheating in this one case. but parades, medicine in a number of specialties. i think it's, it's racial discrimination at its most poignant. so we'll talk about what else this might, this might go on shortly. but 1st, what was the nfl defense of this race norming in a sport where so many people black so the emma spell has from the beginning, maintained that there is no discrimination with race, norming, and not race norming is designed in this case to prevent bias against black

players, so the use of 2 different standards in the nfl reasoning was to protect black players from being compared to white counterparts who might have had more education, easier upbringings, etc. and so where did this come from because i'm still reading from the idea of it . ok, this is to protect black players. we will, we will make you have to be worse injured. you will have to work harder and just get past that in order to get the same pay out as as white play as and this protects you. i don't get the double think. yeah, i mean, i think that, right, as i said before, res correction is, is it standard and money specialties within medicine? so in some ways what the nfl did wasn't a huge departure within the field of neuro cognitive testing. these different standards were introduced in order to acknowledge that

history, the effect of education on, on black men and women starting and plantation slavery. and so the idea is that, well, there's been less access because of plantation slavery because of jim crow era rules laws and the access to education for black men and women in black children is, is much more difficult than, than white children. so the argument is that these differences are, are, are, so in a, whether they're genetically based, or in this case, education socially, culturally produced about we have to have 2 different standards. it's very hard to defend. i mean, i'm a completely opposed to race correction. and in all its forms, in this case, i think that the nfl probably found a way to, to,

to save some money in a, in a highly contested settlement. and it could use this discourse of being anti bias while discriminating. and it covers them. i mean the, the fields covered them in medicine covered them. so what else do we say this and what else is race normally used? so rave newman norman, has used in the number of specialties. it's used in pulmonology. it's used and frolic g. it's used in that tricks and it has really big consequences. it really compromises the health of black patients. and it affects care and it affects compensation and cases like this. so this isn't the 1st case that has had the issue of, of, of race norman raised in the late ninety's. there was a special case out of baltimore, maryland,

in which the company on korean corning wanted to use race correction. and the plaintiff attorney fought very hard against it. so it, it really affects lived experience effect, find financial awards. i think that that in this particular case, like in the case of owens corning, there's been a tremendous amount of activism, largely from an f l y who has just decided they don't want to to live with without compensation or with care. and it just happened that will be there. it's very interesting side as well. dr. lucy trimball from the 5th university of new york. thank you so much. thank you. and that was the day have a good day. the the

news, the news 100 percent evolution 0 percent emission, a rocket a steven the freedom motorcycle and the bike with settles and it's 80 kilometer on me read on d. w to the point of clear positions,

international perspectives, up to 80 percent of people in japan say that are opposed to the upcoming tokyo olympics. among other problems, the health risk i say is far too great. so our joint events like the olympics, the thing is the more i guess tends to stay on to the point to the point dw, ah, cruise william had been with i. and if i had known that there would be that small, i never would have gone on the trail. i would not have put myself in my terrace danger. got the theme, the little muslin center,

the fact that i had a serious problems on a personal level. and i was unable to live, there wasn't anything. ah, you want to know their story, migrants clarifying and reliable information from me . i know you need to be quite bored to use we are living during the most extraordinary time in the history of transport for electric.
