hello rate, you should have been at least 25 percent, but also following the proposal, if the cd it means that the benefits much more than they would have being so $275000000000.00 of additional revenues we calculate. and the g 7 will get the majority of that 60 percent, even though the g 7 only accounts for about 10 percent of the world's population. so it's a big deal, but it's also very unfair. and it shows just how unfit for purpose. the, the o, e c, d, and the g 7 or as the, the rich countries setting the rules for everyone else. we need to move this to the united nations and get a deal that works for everyone. not just the g 7 looking out for their own, recognize it. okay. but even if it is only 15 percent, as you say, this will only work. all countries in the world get on board with it now, is that going to happen? will know, and that's why this is a big deal. actually this doesn't need a global tracy. this can be done as a coalition of the willing. so if the g 7 move ahead with 15 percent or higher,
5:04 pm
the u. s. may stick with 21 percent, for example. and the g 20 countries, the other major economies come with them. that's 80 to 90 percent of the world economy already. now that means that luxemburg or island, or the netherland middle cayman may want to object, but they won't be able to. they can offer lower tax rates, but lose tax rates will get top it up to at least 15 percent in the countries where the real activity is taking place. that's what makes this very powerful. but it also, again means that it's important. it's fair that the benefits of this on just captured by the g 7, they're shared with, particularly the lower income countries and lose a bigger share of tax revenues to this type of corporate tax abuse. why has it taken so long for a decision like this to be made? that is a great question. and the reason is this, the g 7 countries have all of the power, but they are split about this. on the one hand, they will the revenues just as everyone else does. but on the other hand,
5:05 pm
each of their multinational companies who are mainly responsible for this, the u. k, in particular, has been a major blocker. and if you take the u. k, along with all of its dependent territories. it is the biggest single actor in corporate tax abuse worldwide, you know, putting something like a $160000000000.00 of revenue losses on everyone else. so of course, it's been hard for them to get to this point, but we're here now because everyone needs revenues to respond to the pandemic. and that's again why it's so crucial that we raise that revenues in a way that includes the lower income countries whose public health systems are the most heavily on the pressure right now. alex called him from the tax justice network. thanks so much for joining us. hong kong pro democracy activists child hon tongue has been released from police custody a day after she was detained. ciao was arrested on friday for organizing and promoting an annual vigil to the victims of the channel square massacre. it's the 2nd year in
5:06 pm
a row that hong kong authorities and band vigils for the 1989 massacre in which chinese troops killed, possibly thousands of peaceful student protests in beijing. after her release, a child had a warning for hong kong authorities. i want to tell everyone, participate in this high behind the technical position of the order. and so any more open your eyes. i see what you are actually doing. well, you're actually doing is to cut up the time of the could not if you had, depending one of all those families got something pretty to here just out just to it's more in this, i'm joined now by d. w. hong kong correspondent, c b. combe, p, be some very direct words that from child hung tongue. what could be repercussions be of making statements like these for activists in hong kong?
5:07 pm
right now. what's home as well as in ridiculous century, her 33, our detention inside the police station. the offences show. the lead was facebook pose and social media home and on the internet and also the interview a given to the media. so she thought it was an intimidation to the public and also the well that she was like. and so call a what it will be, call it, pretend to address that the police did it impact so as to prevent her from being present in public, memorize it. press down such strongly off, so could be risky because we have seen some other activity already being prosecuted . that comments. i think that they are not being constituted. reading hatred and
5:08 pm
in fighting divisions and so on. what charges could chow hung tongue still face? now? child was arrested for advertising and publicizing, and unauthorized assembly, which fans candlelight vigils. it carries a maximum of money, even though the lawyer, $1.00 of the active, as was charged after the rest, so far. but it doesn't eliminate the tons of future complications. meanwhile, she was also facing other charges regarding last year visual, inciting and attending an authorized assembly and that carries a maximum of 5 years. and she will be out next week about phoebe kong in hong kong. thanks so much. take a look now, some of the other stories making news around the world on the silence of killed

around 100000000 in but keynote fact. so it's the west african nations deadliest attacks and to hardest violence are up to the 6 years ago. the men struck at night, killing residents of sol, 100 village in the northeast government. and we're going to go has 3 days of national morning and sherlock flash floods and debris flows caused by heavy rains have killed at least 4 people. and the 7 a thing or the 5000 people have been displaced and hundreds of homes have been damaged. as an jerry and government says it is suspending twisted indefinitely. 2 days ago the social media platform removed a post from president. how to do bihari, the threatened to punish regional receptionists information ministry accused twitter of double standards and ignoring violent messages from a separatist leader. really, on the issue of climate change, the nigerian government announced that was a ban. somewhat ironically on twitter. it said it was taking action because of the
5:10 pm
quotes. persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining nigeria. corporate existence. not going to be food by anybody to convert to room. how do for the breath of our ability to just miss andrea? give me a 2nd. those 2 examples. his very 1st batch. the band comes days off the twist to remove the post from nigeria as president, hama dupel hurry. twitter says in the tweet bow, hurry threatened to punish groups blamed for a tax on government buildings that violated the companies abusive behavior policy. nigeria government accuses the platform of double standards. it says twitter has been indifferent about the tax on government and security facilities inside the country. it points to last years and saws anti police brutality, which were most organized on twitters platform. the people
5:11 pm
was born a police station. so i'm going to police mean a jury duty and us for twitter. it was about the right to protest for one a similar to her point. when the capital, he became a selection on the streets of lagos, there was a position to the towards her pan. we are not really true, jim, we have great to freedom of speech and so we should be allowed to speak. we should be allowed to use. we would be on facebook where we should be allowed to do that. my can be 2 days of our own and currently in the country goes all the voice on god let them know that what they do is so we're all gone. tried to let them when i found out what have i be having in mind so far on best interest products where
5:12 pm
they efficient twitter has defended its decision to remove to hire is tweet the platform, said the band was deeply concerning bus, which report suggesting that platform is still accessible on such as carriers. it remains unclear just how effective this blackout will be. some football news now and germany begins in europe and championship campaign against world cup when it's france later this month in munich. the upcoming tournament is also the last one, so germany coach, you'll be loose. and after a couple of veterans will welcome back to the roster confidence is higher than ever . this picturesque setting should give the national team strength and energy for the european championship in front of an impressive backdrop. your love is looking for the perfect mix of players to field ahead of his last turn to manage germany, coach. i need to neil turney, me and we need players who lead the way,
5:13 pm
who pull along, who can help others in difficult moments be and i just, we need players who may also have to be patient during the tournament because they don't play from the start. but they also need to be ready for every minute that might come for them and for every chance shorter. hey, key training aspect, better communication on the pitch. and coach law who seems highly motivated is leaving the way. and his players follow important pillars of the team. thomas mueller in my tumbles, have returned after a 2 and a half year absence evictions on the scene. i want to be the cadillac my life, the one who can turbocharged the team and when they needed to come, in addition to some still stricken players such as leon gretzky, the champions league winters around. habits have now arrived in the austrian
5:14 pm
village of a field and was in monuments of being. i'm a player who needs self confidence. that's when i'm at my band. and that's why i'm going into training with a lot of self confidence finish up, but it must be too much for. we have one or 2 players in the squad who have already won the title. self confidence is always good and that's of course how i'll go into the european championship with you then. and the training camp, the spectators were still locked out. however, $14000.00 fans will be allowed in germany's 1st european championship game against france. they'll be on home turf in munich. this will add even more motivation for love and his team as they pursue the european championship title. now, after 5 years of saving lives in cambodia, magowan a land mine the texting rock is retiring. the african giant pouch for us who received a gold metal for his bravery has found over 70 land mines during his career.
5:15 pm
trained by an n g o and tons in the my go was sent to secure safe land in cambodia, which has one of the world's highest numbers of mine, amputees relative to population. and we certainly wish him a happy retirement watching dw new life from berlin. next to w, w dot film, the language of wales bank forcing me on the green you feel worried about the meals of the on the green fence remains to change. join me for the green transformations. for me to use the plan. ah,
5:16 pm
ah, i hear off canada pacific coast researchers are hoping to make a long help dream come true. behavioral biologists and experts have teamed up to create programs aimed at deciphering acoustic signals from animals. could artificial intelligence helped to identify patterns and the sounds made by marine mammals where we soon start to understand what it is that whales are talking about the the coastal waters between alaska in the us and canada, vancouver island, or where a group of killer whales or orchids spend their summers a team of scientists
5:17 pm
from the deep l research expedition are preparing to embark deep our stands for deep learning applied to animal linguistics. the computer scientist m news from germany's university of atlanta and has spent years working on automatic recognition for human speech patterns. the can the same methods, the adapted to animal languages, underwater microphones embedded in tubes serve as the expedition spheres. for 3 summers teams of computer scientists and biologists have set out to record org calls and document whale behavior. rachel chang from the life nets institute for zoo and wildlife research in berlin is looking for patterns between behavior and animal vocalizations that could help to decipher whale language. i assume they
5:18 pm
would have a very different system which fits into our language. around $300.00 or cars are identified as northern residence, as they spend each summer along the coast of alaska and northern british columbia. they live in small family groups and are very communicative to different families use different dialects. and is it possible to discern the meaning of individual calls? tier, the researchers lower the highly sensitive microphones into the water. the 8 hydro phones can record sounds up to a frequency of 100 killer hurt. that's for higher pitch than what is audible to the human ear. thanks to the network of hydrophone and acoustic triangulation,
5:19 pm
the researchers will later be able to calculate the positions of the whales to avoid disturbing the whales with engine noise. the research trying around is equipped with an electric motor. while visibility is limited under water, sound waves are transmitted over considerable distances. that's why a communication system with loud calls is clearly beneficial. they're very tied together and when direction chain circling, body twisting plaza, last location. they're socializing like us to rob and frequent twisting and then jump to jump on to each other. sounds like they talk about the plan. what are we going
5:20 pm
to do next? or cause only spend about 5 percent of their time at the surface, which makes systematic observation quite difficult. the research team uses drones to document the behavior of the animals diving expeditions with whales are prohibited in canada. the scientists are looking for the smallest meaningful units of communication, which whale is calling, and which one answers, or some sounds repeated more than others. biologist, alexander hall, examines the recording. each call comprises a series of brief pulses with sound like melodic curves to human ears. each shift in sound could be meaningful while recording the whale calls,
5:21 pm
the researchers also document the behavior of the animals the. so the for individuals in this group here that are circling, there were 4 back there with the male. there's one that i can see head of the corner of my eye and coming towards us. and the mom and cas $81011.00 individuals minimum. the more data available, the easier it is to train deep learning programs to decipher away language. it's therefore a major advantage for the researchers that over 20000 hours of orca curls have already been collected more than for any other animal species. the whale researcher jared towers has been tapped by the canadian government with observing different oracle populations. back in the 1900 seventy's
5:22 pm
scientists here began documenting individual animals as well as their group structures. anyone know, i said underneath the load here shows just gone off. i had the towers has no problem telling be or because apart the scratch here and i was wondering what's the persistence for least a couple of years. so the, the way that we identify the individuals, no matter what population they belong to, if it's by appearance and you get used to looking for a certain features on a individual killer. well, the dorsal fins and the patches around the fin have different shapes, enabling scientists to catalogue each of the northern residents. every family forms a lifelong bond. the. what we're looking
5:23 pm
at with all of these families. and that'll email leaving the group and the fathers of their offspring don't play much of a role in that family. jared towers works for a federal institution that safeguards canada's waters. his former boss, john ford, was the 1st to distinguish between the disparate calls of the whales. ford's research revolutionized our understanding of the communication system used by the resident archive we're listening to her calls in a class wheels. since the exciting part of underwater listening is you're getting a window into their, into their life that you would never, you would never see john for discovered that the whales used about 50 different
5:24 pm
calls. different families prefer different types of call. these were nicknamed dialects and used to help identify individual families when they're missing, the very stereotype signals is simply to keep in touch with everybody in the group, the exchange them. they're constantly monitoring each other's location because they can tell where they are because of their very directional hearing. and they can monitor the sort of behavioral state, the excitement level, the arousal state of all the other animals in the kindred. northern resident or because visit pebble, beaches daily, you can hear the rubbing right now. they're making socializing sounds and you can hear the pebbles getting pushed around. and they just love all sides of the body.
5:25 pm
just under the, in the cell part of the being only a few or groups worldwide engage in this sort of body rob this behavior is not genetic. rather it's a tradition passed on within families of the northern residence, just like their language. me back on the german canadian research boat. it's a challenge to locate each family among the $300.00 individuals that make up the northern resident population. the orchids are constantly on the move in an expensive water. the size of belgium. the expedition coverson area from vancouver island to the southern tip of alaska eagles indicated where schools of salmon might be. and this is where orchids often hunt to the calls from the a plan can be heard on the underwater microphones. the team tries to determine the
5:26 pm
position of the whale, comes from the left that comes from the right. they compare the calls with a catalog compiled by john ford, but they encounter discrepancies. and it looks like the calls of class and 9 are used by different whale families from the calls from the same class should be almost identical. but these differ in length, melody and harmonics. human analysis so far has amounted to only a rough classification. looking at the specter grams, i'm very sure that we can, you know, achieve something that rivaled the human performance to well, families approach. what costs are they exchanging? just to record this after
5:27 pm
a hear the call back or to the from the researchers are interested in which group is calling, which one answers and which sounds they're using. ah, ah, ah. so look here the i for is, i'm pushing the boat here, a lot of on this in plenty thing. so there's a lot of variation also an interesting way here is $823.00 families to the courts. or is it different? is how people differentiate different quotes from the inside to try and testify.
5:28 pm
the programmers use algorithms or classifiers to automatically analyze millions of whale calls in order to compare recurring sound patterns with recurring behavioral patterns. the same method is used to decipher the meaning of individual words in foreign languages. for l minute and his team, it's no easy feat to automatically filter out the week or a call from the constantly fluctuating noise of the ocean. by matching thousands of all calls on the input side with the target value on the output side, they train neural networks. these layers of neural networks then learn bit by bit which sounds are typical for the purple peaks indicate a high probability of having found a whale call. it's the 1st time and machine has been trained to automatically
5:29 pm
detect orca sounds. still clustering calls into similar sound groups remains a big challenge. the when comparing tens of thousands of recordings always calls are sorted by what they have in common. but the cluster is still too crude to form reliable classes. further programming is required. the team suspects that the northern resident or cars have a complex language system and made and process more intricate sound patterns than humans. but how much is even known about the acoustic capacity of their brains? this is telegraph cove on vancouver island where l minute and rachel chang have an appointment. only
5:30 pm
a handful of researchers worldwide have expertise on whale and dolphin brains. neural scientists, laurie moreno is one of them. is, is that orca way this is an orca scar? a cranium bright of an orca. and in the front you find the melon, where they do the good they directly at the location. and this part right here, this large part is where the break with that. okay. yeah, yeah. human and whale brains generally share the same mammalian architecture. both cerebral quarter sees are wrinkled and complex, but the orca brain is 5 times bigger among the largest of any animal. and unlike.
