corporate taxation, and ensure fairness for the middle class and working people in the us and around the world. a recent study shows the global tax reform would allow the you to collect the hand welcome to the w. just how significant is this g 7 announcement? good morning, then asked me soon if again it is the 1st time that an eye is political level. finally, recognition that tax competition between countries is full, but he's an agreement that is below while there's been stations where us initially proposed 21 percent as the minimum. and now we call at least 15, which shows a lack of vision from european leaders, germany and france. and italy, which has a cooperation tax rate, about 25 percent. so a minimum tax really should be high. it 50. and so they're hoping that they will

unilaterally let us increase the cooperation, the minimum tax to level close to the u. s. so around 21 percent, but this is that is the deal which takes into account the fact that there's a lot of pressure from tax savings to a lower minimum tax to help with 5 percent due to tax rate island. switzerland has a similar effect. the tax rate. so the, the reason we deal with these low, it's around 15. these is in line with carbon tax saving, right? so naturally will be a favor to them. so it's really will be important individual countries will do because they still allows all countries around the table to sign up to at least 15 percent because it is a lease which means other countries leaders can do more. and that's the hope that we have. all right, so in your opinion, this doesn't go far enough because the 15 percent is only slightly higher than some

of the countries that are considered tax havens. so who exactly is going to benefit from this idea most is going to be lower income countries or the big wealthy ones. so the wealthy countries are the ones the currently lose more in absolute numbers. and so the u. s. will benefits initially from this measure. so we'll germany, france, and italy, but also will countries in the global south that, that rely on corporate tax revenue more than the countries in the north and which will benefit for high tax in minimum, taxwise against their will lose out these measure will be detoxified because they will no longer be able to attract sniffing investment based on simply a tax tax rate. then in tax is not the only thing that the investments are island will lose these advantage, but will still be able to attract investment due to many other skills. and then

they ask for sitting for structures and educational population. alright, tomato bato from the university of nottingham. thank you so much for your insights . thank you. almost 100000000 mexicans are expected to vote later today in the biggest election in the country's history. these mid terms will see the election of 500 deputies to congress as well as governors and mayors. but the poles will take place against the backdrop of political violence that includes murder, nearly 90 politicians or candidates have been killed since last september. it was while traveling along this road that yvon guy egos was murdered. she'd been hoping to represent a town in the south of mexico in the upcoming elections. but in march, she withdrew from the race because of increased threat. just 2 days later, she was assassinated. her husband to do ready been murdered in 2015 and yet that
