for some of us record breaking the you tube and know also in book form the news . this is dw, lie from berlin, a landmark agreement that the g 7 could have huge repercussions for big tack g 7 liter agreed to a global minimum corporate tax, right? rallying behind us plans, but will other countries and bring to the scale. also coming up, nigeria says it's suspending twitter indefinitely,

accusing of double standards. this comes after the messaging platform removed a post from the countries presidents, but not from a separatist leader. plans to build and then lead the chinese university in budapest for an into widespread resistance at home. and darian say it will only increase a change influence over their country. ah, i'm pub over lillius. welcome to the program. g 7, finance ministers meeting in london. say they've reached the deal on global tax reform. the agreement is designed to close the loop holes used by some of the world's biggest companies to avoid paying taxes. germany says it's quote, good news for justice and fiscal solidarity. it would set corporate tax at a minimum of 15 percent, no matter where companies or based the british frame at the finance minister,

which is united may be announcement. so let's take a listen. i think the crucial thing for people to take away is the principle of fairness. that's what we've achieved today to ensure that there's a level playing field for all types of companies. and whether it's people operating in tax havens or in digital companies, we're going to level the playing field and inject that principal offenders into our global tax system. that's the pride, right? well that's bringing alex cobbler who's chief executive of the tax justice network . a coalition of researchers and activists with a shared concern about tax avoidance and tax havens. hi alex, and thanks for joining us here at the w. now, how significant is this g 7 announcement and simply why is it taken so long? it's significant because it's the richest countries in the world coming together to say we've had enough of the corporate tax rates to the bottom this, this process where they multi nationals play one country against another and find

lower and lower tax rate until there's very little left for anyone else as you had in the clip there, that makes it 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 movement 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 only see the proposal that they're working on is so egregiously uncertain. 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 out more to corporate tax abuse. they see 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 islands that we tend to think of with palm trees. and so this, this deal, what it does is it says, if multinational managed to pay less than 15 percent tax than the top top. so it's at least 15. but who does the topping up in the cd 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'd 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. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making use around the world. the kurdish lead administration in serious northeast is handed over at dutch woman and 3 children to a delegation from the netherlands. they've been living in a camp for families of alleged islamic state medicines. european countries have been hesitant to repatriate their nationals in such situations. the 1st cruise ship to dock in venice. since the start of the pandemic has left the city amid protests activists oppose the huge vessels that carry thousands of passengers at a time, saying they pose environmental and safety risks to the city fragile. and again, the british tourists have been scrambling to get flights back home from portugal after the u. k. and as a quarantine for passengers arriving from portugal,

it takes effect on tuesday. the country was one of 13 countries placed on a green list last month. but recently, infections there have spiked than our gerry and government says it's suspended twitter indefinitely. 2 days ago, the social media platform removed a post from president bahama. duper hiring, the threatened to punish regional secessionist. the information ministry accused twitter of double standards in ignoring violent messages from a separatist leader. the issue of climate change, the niger in government announced that was a ban somewhat. i want to play on twitter. it said it was taking action because of the quote, 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 connected to room. how do for the rest of our ability to just miss an engineer?

yes. give you a 2nd. those 2 examples to the very 1st batch. the ban comes days off the twitter, remove the posts from nigeria, president bahama dupel. hurry, twitter says in the tweet. bo hurry threatened to punish groups blamed for attacks 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 year's end saws and see police. the protests which were most organized on twitter platform. the people were boarding 40 stations. i'm going to police 3 and a junior, jody, and us for twitter. it was about the right to protest for one a similar to her point, the when the capital he became for action on the streets of leg off.

there was a position to the towards that. then we are not really true, jim. we have great to freedom of speech and so we should be allowed to speak. we should, you should be allowed to use. we would i be, don't treat facebook where we should be allows you that's my can be do days. what i saw me job of our own and currently in the country goes all it was on god. let them know what to do. so rolled on trying to let them when i found i was of i be the idea of having in mind so far. one bit to trace route where the teacher has defended its decision to remove behind the tweet. the platform said the band was deeply concerning and that it would be monitoring the situation. right. a large part of derek derek land into the past is being turned into the 1st european campus of an elite chinese university. and hong gary and taxpayers will be

picking up the bill. 2 thirds of hungarians opposed the project and the anger is growing against prime minister victor or bon he. w. funny fish are reports. initially, the area behind his friends in budapest was supposed to become the home to more than 10000 students. the plan to build affordable dorms, especially for people from hungary, rural areas. the ground has been broken for various projects, including new atlantic stadium. but the government is also allowing china to build the very 1st european campus of the sean cloud based food and university on the site. according to government, documents obtained by the hungarian investigative media outlet direct, 36. the chinese campus will be financed by a 1300000000 euro loan paid for by hungary and taxpayers. the journalist behind the report sees all the worrying implications for the

projects sub which pony says hungary, intensifying tides with china, create a friendly environment for chinese intelligence. there's an increasing number of chinese students flowing in to the country. and china is known for using citizens forcing them to feed information to the chinese indulgence. so the larger, the chinese footprint is in hungary the larger the risk of espionage during various visits with his chinese counterparts. over the past decade, prime minister victor, or bon, has been openly pursuing an eastern opening strategy in the hopes of attracting chinese investment at the beginning of the corporate pandemic, or been personal, inspected tons of protective equipment. that had arrived at the budapest airport from china. hungary is also the only country in the u. t. not too late. his

citizens with a chinese coffee vaccine. and the recently vetoed an e joint statement expressing concern over china's tightening control over hong kong . so who really benefit from this relationship? hungary, i think has we told the the most in favor of china. so china is the number one manufacturer of hungary, disruptive power is tied to you. but we don't actually see chinese find our investment flowing and pouring in the country. the campus, for example, will be built using chinese labor and building materials shipped in from china. and not everyone in hungary is a fan of the eastern opening strategy. budapest may or get caught up showing is a key opponent of or bon. he has been showing his opposition to what he calls chinese influence buying in his own special way for street near the plant chinese

beaches. their hotel owners fear for their livelihood. most of the by normally enjoy the view from the terrors of his hotel. but that's changed for months, he's only seen the empty car phase and frustrated street vendors in antalya as old town, along with other hotel owners, was struggling just as much as he is. one of his under normal circumstances on a day like this. i couldn't sit here and talk to you, we'd be fully booked with a lot to do. but right now, occupancy is just 10 to 20 percent. things continue like this. i'll go bankrupt soon. 10 hotels around here have already given up. when, when i will tell you about the and tell you as beaches are almost as deserted as when the pandemic began back, then many believed everything would get back on track in a year. but they were wrong. only a few flooring as

or we get on with the vaccination. the easier it is for us to keep infection rates slow. and that's why i think we can expect a significant increase the number of holiday makers in the 2nd half of the year. of course, it's still not comparable to 2019, but i think we'll have better tourism figures than last year. most of those by what like to believe that but so far he receives more cancellations than bookings on his phone. still he's making sure that all of his rooms are ready for guests at any time. and he hopes he'll still be in business when the tourists return. the resentment is growing towards the government in check year, which has the highest corona virus death toll in europe. the countries oldest bookseller, a local legend has also died at the age of $83.00. this
