the news, this is d w. news live from berlin, a landmark agreement at the g 7 that could have huge repercussions for big tech g. 7 leaders agree on a deal for global tax reform to make the world's biggest companies pay their fair share of taxes. but will other countries agree to the scheme? also coming up is being dumb to cease not turkey is battling an outbreak of a slimy substance as coating its shores. experts warren, the gunk could spread if nothing is done.

ah, a married evans dean. thanks for joining me. g 7. the finance ministers meeting in london say they've reached a deal on global tax reform. the agreement is designed to close the loopholes call used by some of the world's biggest companies to avoid paying tax. germany says it's good news for justice and fiscal solidarity, but it would have implications for countries who like to attract companies with low corporate tax rates. large companies like google, facebook and amazon have been paying taxes in countries where they have headquarters. and they use locations with low tax rates like ireland. the strategy allows them to pay only a small percentage of their profits. the global minimum tax aims to change that.

finance ministers from canada, france, italy, japan, britain, the u. s. and germany agreed to the proposal. german finance minister offshore. it's called the break through a tax revolution. tech raising will be more difficult for big companies all over the world. and this is a good message for the people of our countries, and especially the big tech guy and giants who have to pay their fair share. and this is also a good success. after years of negotiations, the agreement on a minimum global tax is historic. the rate is expected to be at least 15 percent amazon and google. welcome the compromised by the g 7, finance ministers. a facebook spokesman said the company recognized the proposal and was prepared to pay more tax. the us treasury secretary played a key role in reaching a deal that global minimum tax within the race to the bottom, 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 an additional $50000000000.00 euros and revenue each year. well for more, let's bring in tomato far too. he's a lecture in accounting at the you case, university of nottingham. welcome to the w. just how significant is this g 7 announcement? good morning then asked me if you can 1st time that an i s political level, that's funny. recognition that tax competition between countries is full base, an agreement that is below well, this is where us initially proposed 21 percent as the minimum. and now we call at least 15, which shows a lack commission from european leaders, germany and france and italy, which has a cooperation tax rate and both 25 percent. so a minimum tax really should be high,

it is 50. and so they're hoping that they will unilateral lead us will increase the corporation, the minimum tax to level close to the us. so around 21 percent. but 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 a point 5 percent is a tax rate. island switzerland has a similar effect the tax rate. so the reason that the deal will be low around 15, the in line with carbon taxation, 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. but if they do the least, which means the country's 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 that currently lose more in that sort of numbers. and so the u. s. will benefits initially for this measure. so we'll germany, france, and italy, but also will countries in the global south that rely on corporate tax revenue more than the countries in the north and which will benefit for high tax in medium tax plays against they will lose out from these measure will be the exact same because they will no longer be able to shop sniffing, investment based on simply a tax tax rate then in tax is not the only thing that the investments are island will lose this advantage, but will still be able to attract investment due to many other skills and they

killed more than $130.00 civilians in the west african nation of were keno, faso authorities believe islamist militants were behind the massacre. it took place in the village of sol hahn and the north east of the country and near the border with niger. it is the deadliest attack in the country since miss violence erupt. it in 2015. the fighting has displaced more than 1000000 people in working far so well for more were joined by or now i'm a darren. she is head of this a hell program at the institute for security studies based and bama co in neighboring. molly, thank you so much for being on our program. now. this is the worst attack in recent years and burkina faso. what more can you tell us about what exactly happened in the village of so on? all things are still great question. we don't know everything. yes,

what's the do know, re fax, several, hundreds of attackers. so on the, into the village and kills over a 130 people. the 1st attacks the nearby security post. and then when went to the locality, specifically targeting women, men, children, everyone who, who was alarm. so this created a massive trauma in the general population. now we're kinda faso and also it's neighbors have seen a resurgence of extreme as violence in recent years. why is that, what are these militant groups trying to achieve? this is a great question question. i think, well, well, this might be the this that the a single attack will have in recent years,

since the countries nearly central chosen students, 2015 officially in, nor in the northern and eastern parts. it's actually not the 1st time that's been being targeted in, in a master tech. we could remember what happened in abilene and i am since 19 and in your, in your end. and so, so what we're really is the attendance of we seem to be having a bit of trouble with our connection or nella motor on it seems to be no longer with her. you know, oh we can or no. can you still hear us? yeah. oh, okay. wonderful, so do do carry on, we can out there. you are. ok to carry on. okay, so i was saying that the violent extreme is with that are operating in it, working as well as in neighboring money. and michelle seem to be going specifically

for local communities that are supporting the governments that are not at least abiding by their rules. so there isn't, and if you money get them here. and now why is it so difficult to stop these militant insurgencies that have been affecting the region for so many years already? well, i think one of the factors has to do with the way in which they operate. the sense to use very small units of motorbike writers to gather at the last minute pretty and attacked. this would require security for you to be as mobile and efficient. and in reacting as the factors are, which, which is very difficult for security forces to do because it would also expose

themselves in the process. so here we are really facing some critical technical issues as well as a broader i would say the already quite a challenge in the nation states to, to faith in the fact that was, are nella motor on the head of the style program at the institute for security studies, thank you so much. will turkey is struggling to stop the spread of a slimy substance accumulating and it sees the outbreak of the naturally occurring mucus, like matter is the biggest record. and if left untreated, experts more in the sludge could soon coat large parts of turkeys, coastal waters thick losing soupy slime, covering the coast of the sea of mama, near turnbull,
