unfair for domestic and small businesses, but can't come up with his income tax tricks and end up paying a fair share themselves. while these big multi nationals, they're competing against simply are not doing that. but i have to say, although we've, we've got an important moment today and the 15 percent minimum rate could raise as much as $275000000000.00 a year in additional revenues. the way that g 7 has done this is the opposite of the principle of furnace that you would just hearing about the g 7 countries, 10 percent of the world's population. would we estimate take more than 60 percent of those additional revenues just for themselves. because the see the proposal that they're working on is so egregiously unfair. right? so essentially, countries and the wealthy countries are going to benefit from this, but relatively will say countries that are lower income countries are not gonna benefit so much is that we're saying that's right. lower income countries already lose more to corporate tax abuse. they see
7:04 pm
a bigger share of their current tax revenues being lost to this kind of profit shifting. where multinational companies are able to have their sales and their employment in one place, but move their profits to another. often big cd members, including the likes of the netherlands, luxembourg island, not just small islanders that we tend to think of with palm trees. and so this, the steel, what it does is it says, if multinational managed to pay less than 15 percent tax than the top up. so it's at least 15. but who does the topping up in the o. e c d proposal. it's the country where the multinational has its headquarters, and should we ask where the headquarters for most of the biggest 7 or 8 of multinationals who be caught by this. the answer. they're in the g 7 and other countries. that's how they will get the benefit and nobody else will get anything like the same share of additional revenues. all right, we're going to leave it there, alex cover from the tax justice network. thank you. thanks.
7:05 pm
right, let's take a look at what some of the other stories making news around the world. hong kong pro democracy activists shall hang tongue has been released from police custody a day after she was arrested child was accused of organizing and promoting an annual vigils to commemorate the victims of china, 1989 pianos square massacre. and he said the visual was an unauthorized assembly interlink flash floods. and deborah flows caused by heavy rains, have killed at least 4 people and left 7 missing. more than 5000 people have been displaced, and hundreds of homes have been damaged. armed assailants have killed around 100 civilians in burkina, faso. it's the west african nations deadliest attacks and violence. a rope that there 6 years ago, the men stroke at night, killing residents of so in the northeast of the country, the government and why do has declared 3 days of national morning. well then
7:06 pm
jerry and government says it is suspending twitter indefinitely. 2 days ago, the social media platform removed a post from president mohammed to pro harry that threatened to punish regional secessionist and the information ministry accused twitter of double standards. ignoring the violent messages from a separatist leader, the issue of climate change, the nigerian government announced that towards her ban somewhat. i wonderfully on twitter. it said was taking action because of the close, persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining nigeria, corporate existence and, and 12. they're not going to be followed by anybody where the content to rule. how do for the rest of our ability to miss an engineer? give me a 2nd. those 2 examples of the very 1st package. the ban comes days off the twitter, remove the post from nigeria as president bahama dupel. hurry, twitter says,
7:07 pm
and the tweet parties threatened to punish groups blamed for a tax on government buildings that violated the company's abuses, 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 year's end saws and see police brutality protests which were most the organized on twitter platform. the people were born in police station, some couldn't police mean a jury. jury us for twitter. it was about the right to protest for what a similar thing happened. when the capital he became a selection on the streets of lay golf. there was opposition to the towards the band. we are not really true,
7:08 pm
jim. we have great to freedom of speech and so we should be allowed to speak to charlotte. we should be allowed to use. we would i be on 3 facebook where we should be allowed to use as my country to days. what i me the of our own and currently in the country, guys. all it's worth off on god. let them know what to do is so rolled on trying to let them when i found out what have i be having in mind so far, one bit, right where the teacher has offended its decision to remove behind the tweet. the platform said the band was dp concerning and that it would be monitoring the situation. and you partnership between beijing and through the past has angered hungarian taxpayers who have to carry be nearly 1000000000 euro financial burden. china is building a european campus of its shanghai base who done university. not only are hungarian to pick up the top, but no local contractors will get to work on the project most and gary and oppose
7:09 pm
the plan and anger is growing against a prime minister or by thousands have taken to the streets of the capital to protest their governments cooperation with authority, area, and regime well for more on this, let's go straight to our correspondent, funny for char in, in budapest i funny. and i, protestors against this project, you know, voicing their anger. we can hear them. they're behind you. roughly 2 thirds of hungarians, oppose it. now, what are their main concerns? the main concern is if financial gordon estimated that this entire project is going to cost about 1800000000 euros paid by the hungarian or a china no one right now. currently, actually the me or buddha, pathis speaking, what sean croucher actually was wrong against prime minister in the next year. and many different things that could be done with this money is that people have
7:10 pm
gathered here some who are actually on the policy, the government. you're disappointed because actually this project, the money that's needed for affordable housing is now going to be pretty chinese project. but people yeah. also making clear actually not against chinese people in hungary. what you're questioning the finance with called tire project that is putting them on the gear intact and that's not we'll get hungary is. i'm one of the most corrupt countries in the european union. traditionally, for this project, the government and people that are known to the opera lead hungry, you know, put away money. right. so the hungarian government is committed in defense of the plans and chinese university campus. but who really benefits from this relationship with china? gearing governments are also going to benefit from this project because actually we
7:11 pm
don't want to divert me to think of trying to get all the employees education competition here in hungary or touching the very 1st european compass offer. then university year in hungary, so they should congress actually, and hong yearian is going to hundreds, are going to benefit from it. but if you, on the project, as i say, it's reported to go by the hon. you're in taxpayer and it's going to be billed by a chinese people coming from china and by china material. so there you really ask yourself them to influence your benefit this project. is it really hungary, or rather china and chinese intelligence the through the help of hungary is going to just a thought into europe for shar in budapest. thank you. about the football now and germany begin their european
7:12 pm
championship campaign against world cup winners. france later this month in munich . the tournament is also the last one for germany coach yogi live. and after a couple of veterans were welcome back to the roster. confidence is higher than ever out there. austrian training base and one final friendly game against lafayette on monday, waits 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 him in his germany coach. i mean to neil turney. i mean, we need players who lead the way, 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 you shorter a key training aspect,
7:13 pm
better communication on the pitch. and coach law, who seems highly motivated is leading the way. and his players follow important pillars of the team. thomas miller in my tumbles, have returned after a 2 and a half year absence. his visions, i'm busy and i want to be the catalog of 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 car habits have now arrived in the austrian 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 higher than that. and that's why i'm going into training with a lot of self confidence finish up. but it must be too much. we have one or 2 players in the squad who have already won the title. self confidence is always good
7:14 pm
and that's of course how i'll go into the european championship with you. then. in the training camp, the spectators were still locked out. however, $14000.00 fans will be allowed at 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. but after 5 years are saving lives in cambodia, mac, our i landline detecting rat is retiring the african giant paged rat who received a gold medal for his bravery has found over 70 landlines. during his career, trained by n g o in tons, and he was sent to secure safe land income bogey, which has one of the world's highest numbers of mine, amputees relative to population right. when you're watching the news life from berlin up next shift living in the digital age. and don't forget,
7:15 pm
you can find us on social media. we're on the news instagram and twitter. so for me and the rest of the team here in berlin, take care of the news . news. every journey begins with the 1st step. and every language with the 1st word rico is in germany to learn german. why not learn with him? simple online, on your mobile and free w e learning course, because the german meetings the, the fight against the corona virus pandemic. now has the rate of infection in developing what measures are being taken. what
7:16 pm
does the latest research, say? information and context, a career data special, monday to friday on dw, the we're all on line all the time, streaming, chatting or checking social media at the same time, many of us worry about climate change. so how much do our digital lifestyles have damage the environment? and can apps and tech help us manage climate change, climate protection and digital lifestyle? can we have both? that's our topic today on shift me a single google search use us as much electricity as burning an energy saving
7:17 pm
a light bulb for 5 minutes. about point 31 hours. currently the internet account for more than one percent of the world's electricity consumption. that may not sound like that much, but it, it's, in fact or internet use consumes more electricity per year than canada. 35000000 population. and most of the power is used to do exactly what you're probably doing right now. streaming videos, the internet consumers, more than $500.00 tara one hours of electricity and almost 80 percent of the streaming videos on netflix youtube video. similar platforms use less data and thereby, and tricity, we should download content instead of streaming it multiple times. watching the regular tv broadcast uses even less energy. you can also save electricity by playing videos, the lower resolution. and if you're watching on your phone, you hardly notice the difference in quality. finally,
7:18 pm
turning off your camera during the video conferences can save up to 90 percent of c o. 2 emissions. but how much of a difference can that make when other parts of our digital lives are consuming more and more energy like bitcoin? in mid april, the crypt currency hit record high of more than 500000. even more miners on our hunting for clients, the server farms are expanding and all the miners are in a race against each other. because whoever is the fastest gets the new bitcoin, this consumes so much energy that these days, entire power plants being run just to mind bitcoin. this power plant in siberia used to belong to n nichols smelter and is now being used for a bitcoin server far over in the us state new york. this old coal power station was revised and converted to gas solely to provide a bit coin foreign with the energy. it's estimated that at present,
7:19 pm
the global bitcoin block chain uses around $110.00 tara watt hours a year, which is roughly equal to the netherlands electricity consumption for climate researcher, you will not turn down this. this had become a societal issue. the crypt currencies like bit causing the already required of computing power was that they just, they grow so to do their energy and some of that. so isn't this also a dangerous development for the climate? we need to look for a tentative to use less energy for many a crypto currencies also need to become cleaner. 70 percent of all bitcoin mining takes place in china where cold generated or is cheaper chinese coin mines alone produce more c o 2 every year than the whole of denmark. this troubles china's government and it also bothers even in may. musk tweeted,
7:20 pm
he was suspended chestnut purchases with bitcoin and said tesla may hark with a massive collection. this proves late cause the price of the trip, the currency to knows, die from around $50000.00 euros under $35000.00 euros. if bitcoin is going to be greener, it needs to use renewable energy. but it's that even realistic considering how much electricity bit current uses it's competitor, if theorem is going another way, rather than having all computers in the network check transactions at the same time as the condos, they are working towards having single computers through the verifying this could save up to 99 percent of the energy use. of course not old tech harms or planet, some can even help us understand climate change better. like in an article, this robot use these big data to protect marine life. the battery powered glider collects data on the iceberg. 868. hey. and transfers it twice. not tonight. when
7:21 pm
it broke away from antarctic or in 2017. 68, a was one of the biggest icebergs ever recorded since december 2020. it's been melting in the south atlantic. the robot measures the effects, the melting ice is having on solidity temperature, chlorophyll levels. this will help us understand how melting icebergs affect water quality and thus marine life. one important come to the climate change is that the water surrounding me on the soft tick is get on warm. this could really accelerate the melting of places, which in turn to rising sea levels. so we need to understand these processes better . so that's one of the data from this rangel. even if we don't have much of a really important ah, in the u. k. trim like the help the monitor river conditions with that high resolution images, they can actually document changes with a flow course. and in
7:22 pm
a fraction of the time it would take to do a field study ah, researchers and work with the images to assess the effects time it changes having rivers, which also helps plan flooding protection. research teams, mapping the indian ocean near the st. shells hoping that work will provide an ocean health check. the depths of the ocean and its bio diversity remain largely a mystery. now marine researches are using so not to map the ocean floor measurements catalogue, the animal world, that they are working with high tech submarines remote control vehicles and 15 different camera systems to create details. 3 d met the the data is being processed by artificial intelligence. a good example
7:23 pm
of how digital technology can protect rather than harm the climate and tech isn't just helping us collect and evaluate data. it technique combining a i with 3 d printing is helping to repair the damage. climate change has cost in our oceans. just dr. pounds or canada research as a catherine data to create virtual 3 d levels of cold, reeks. this is what such a model looks like. the scientists have algorithms and software examine the virtual reefs. and hey, i can then help construct alt official co race which closely resemble the natural structure. the largest alt official coal re from the world to date is constructed of the moldy, where hundreds of 3 d printed structures i've been fastened to the ocean floor. giving calls were planted on the ceramic concrete models. the world's current systems have been severely damaged by climate change and the hope is that 3 d
7:24 pm
printed reefs can help preserve or even help systems recover. but corals can only survive if the oceans don't get even warmer. and although the international community signed the paris climate agreement, which seems to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius by the year 2100 right now, it doesn't look like we're keeping this goal. some say if there are alternatives such as geo or climate engineering, these are technologies that intervene and our planet cycles. computer models exist of how these could help reduce the seo to getting into the atmosphere, or stop too much sunlight reaching the earth. here's how they work. the airplane could this 1st millions of terms of hearing acid in the stratosphere? the sulfur would combine with water vapor and create arizona which reflect
7:25 pm
a part of the sun's rays so that the atmosphere underneath was less. but we don't know what long term effects such an intervention would have to matter if it could have dramatic effect. and it could disrupt the monsoon, or other large whether phenomena we could see significant ground to the slugs or other events. these technologies are untestable by attention and will be one area of research that has been pushed for years in carbon capture. and now there are several technologies intended to filter c o 2 out of the atmosphere and counter act, global warming. thousands of c o 2 collectors would extract the gas from the atmosphere or filter it out from power plant chimney's. this would relieve the atmosphere of c o 2 and help curtail global warming the filter at c o 2 could be stored indefinitely in former natural gas facilities like in this pilot project in
7:26 pm
iceland. however, there are answered questions surrounding this technology to but it's huge size. the question with c o 2 storage is whether you consider the c o 2 words been captured the size because unless you store it where it's being captured, to where you have to transport it, which is very energy intensive. do you engineering radically altered nature and consequences are still very much unknown. so before we find ourselves, depending on it, we should do a bit more for a planet ourselves. and there are apps that help we can all do something to help protect our planet. one possibility is using environmentally friendly search engine, like because the company has helped more than 100000000 trees, more searches, the more trees planted. here i was another search browser extension money to help clean up the ocean. with the german plate plastic,
7:27 pm
you can scan the barcode of items packed and then lots of plastic. some get re enroll, tentative stamps. database currently contains mostly europe in products, but more being added replace plastic available for ios and android also was massively creates an email template that you can send the manufacturer to let them know you think less. packaging is walle. can such measures really help save our climate? those who want to test the impact can register for a stimulated climate time travel due to start soon, scientists hope the online games kiara will prove educational disposal. by which card do i draw? how much do i trust? so on the bike in the simulation didn't see the effects this has on climate change to died. there was also tomorrow under 100, you can see the package you can have as an individual was accrued. and we can all learn about our behaviors. consequences researchers could also find out who would
7:28 pm
be ready to do what from gamers, which could lead to viable policy and business recommendations. but let's get back to our initial question. how good or bad are our digital lifestyle for the environment? i think the answer isn't clear, but i'm definitely going to pay more attention to my environmental footprint. and if you think about it, we can, will have a big impact with little effort. some people worry, we've lost the fight against global warming. i think fleeing to another planet could be an option. it must have plans to fly to mars with a rocket, which is explained on our youtube channel, check it out to find out why mars can substitute the earth as our home. that's all for me for today by and see you next time. ah, in the
7:29 pm
77 percent on this week 3, we have to find out why is that young people seem very not interested when it comes to quality. one can raise the deductible or look, look meaningful participation. and the time i'm looking for this lead to this. no one is good because we don't percent to double the show that holds the issue is shaping the continents didn't use africa. government. what's making the headlines? what's behind the way on the street to give you in the report and insights all the trends that my time to use in 60 minutes on d. w. and
7:30 pm
in language course in video and audio anytime anywhere the w media center. welcome to a special edition of the 77 percent that show for us. the majority young population of africa. i. if you are ready, i'm your host edie. mike, as you know, on this special edition, we are dedicating the entire show to the rule of young people in politics are very own either kamani. let e street debate in uganda. capital compiler on youth in politics. pensions are high in the country after 7 to 6 year old president was 70 tightened. his grip on.
