the united nations development program is listening and working with communities to protect forests for the future we want. if you're hearing what we're hearing, find out more the news . this is e w. news lies from burn in america. super rich pay almost no income tax . us media report based on leaked tax return, has been as including jeff pays office and musk regularly avoid paying tax legally . also on the program. us president joe biden land and they carry the stuff an 8 day mission to rebuild transatlantic tides. following the trump era is 1st foreign

trip, as presidents will include the g 7 summer under meeting with the russian president in want of course, in russia brands, and i've seen the valley's anti corruption network extremists, the kremlin continues its cracked down on the opposition leaders nationwide movement and rolling out the red carpet for a summer time. and the film festival usually takes place in february for the panoramic means it's been turned into an open question. ah mm. i'm so gale. welcome to the program. will begin with a revelation that several of america's richest men have paid little to no income tax. so the recent years investigative journalism unit, pro public says, is

a thing. tax returns showing that 1000000000 has avoided pain tax in a completely legal way. a potentially explosive issue in a time of rising inequality. they are the world's richest men. jeff phases one ilan musk and they pay less taxes than most people. while living mind blowing, lifestyles pro public revealed that pays those paid no taxes in 20072011, while must paid on in 2018. the billionaires don't seem to have done anything illegal. they just use tax avoidance strategies beyond the reach of ordinary americans. super billionaires get their well from the growing value of their assets . they're only taxed if they sell those holdings. president joe biden has said he wants to raise taxes on the wealthy. good afternoon. no one likes to pay taxes. i know with my dad, you say it's a small price to live in this country. i firmly believe we firmly believe the need to make our tax system work for the middle class. that's why i think we should ask

corporations in the top one percent to start paying there for a share and why we should crack down a millionaires and billionaires will escape taxes by cheating. meanwhile, the internal revenue service has been hit by years of budget cuts and low morale, leaving it less able to enforce the laws that are already on the books. after proposal is report came out, the white house focus more on condemning the leak than on the issue of tax and equality itself with us against any unauthorized disclosure of confidential government information by a person with access is illegal. and we take this very seriously, the biden administration has said that many of its priorities will be paid for by higher taxes on the wealthy. collecting that money, it seems, or you will be quite a challenge we've been working on. let's get more from data because one account in

a tomboy in washington. welcome convenience. so this is come from r s. documents linked to pro public. yes, pro public information is based on a huge amount of never before seen internal revenue service information. and these documents reveal the pittance in the federal income taxes of ultra wealthy, like even mosque you mentioned is that report, it was mentioned, they weren't paid compared to with their massive wealth accumulation. and this is all legal, but the documents also reveal of fail new information and how little the 25 wealthiest americans pay in taxes by the most conventional measure income. not all of them are able to minimize their income and avoid taxes, but even then the data shows that they still pay extremely low rates, on average of a paid 15.8 percent and personal federal income taxes between 20142018 that is lower than the read a single word or making $45000.00 a year might pay

a but feel regardless of the content of this interesting investigation. the 2nd big question is, of course, how this important information was leaked and this question has not yet been answered right. this week job, i got the did the g 7 to agree on a need for a fair, a global corporate taxes. now it sounds like he's got rich individuals in his sites . yes, well, we're talking about 2 different things here and the corporate taxes referred to a global issue. but at home, joe biden has been delivering your message for a long time already, especially during his political campaign. for the 2020 elections and his message, so the highest the earth in the united states has always been that he is going to raise the taxes. and this is something he adopted from the progressive and his party and their colds for the one percent to pay their fair share on income taxes. we should also keep in mind that joe biden has been spending

a lot of state money for the cove. its team a little packets and now he's planning a big infrastructure reform that will cost again at least truly on dollars. so he has to look how he is going to get money into this pay treasury. and this might be a way to do so. right? so tell us about the reaction then to these revelations, while members of the congress are calling for the internal revenue service to investigate how this information was leaked, because we know taxpayer information is confidential and they are potential criminal penalties for intel revenue service employees or others who released this information, so their internal and external investigations beginning with potential prosecutions to follow. but her progress is, this is again prove to what they have been calling for a long time. and that's the revamp of the text system. thank you for that. the, the w correspondent academy the 2000000 washington while president buy has

landed in britain for the 1st step. and his 1st foreign trip as president, will visit 3 countries of 8 days. but the main event will be the g 7 summit in the u. k. which starts off later this week. have meetings expected to focus on current events, vaccine, distribution, trade and climate. the president, violence has said that the triple sho, russia and china, that ties between the us and europe, a strong president biden's trip to europe since the election as he was president of the key moment for the u. k. having just left the european union bois johnson wants to show that global britain is more than a slogan. and the u. s. wants to re establish global leadership and areas such as climate change and vaccinations. one dominating issue is going to be the production and distribution of vaccines. bus johnson said he will ask counterparts to agree to

vaccinate the world by the end of next year. and the u. s. as backing a plan to waive peyton's on vaccines. if all the g 7 countries like germany would come on board, that will be seen as a success for president joe biden as well as the board johnson get mass reporting. now of course in russia has outlawed organizations founded by the jailed opposition leader like say, nevada, me declaring them to be extremist, the ruling bass. people associated with the group from running for public office flashing the hopes of his allies of seeking seats in parliamentary elections in september. it also means activists who have worked with the organizations and anyone who donates to them will even share the materials, could be prosecuted and received the prison terms. let's bring in correspondent j cordell and moscow. welcome jake. so this was a closed court hearing that took

a lot longer than expected. why was that? yes, and this is already the 2nd time this hearing is try to go ahead author earlier delay, which was up to the prosecutors. it would have been a much quick affair, as you said, it was a closed hearing, which men valued lloyd, but only allowed in present that offense and then had to leave again. that's because the russian prosecutors be some of the documents being discussed as secretive. so the prosecutors would like to get this wrapped up in nevada and he was having his day in his organization. they cool. they presented $45.00 pages of legal defenses against being named an extreme organization. they kept trying a person person proceeding as long as they could, even though they must have known the ruling was really never in any doubt. and at the end of it, the prosecution offered no cross examination. they left the call and we didn't minutes. we had this ruling widely expected, the 3 organizations linked to alexi,

nevada, and they have been made extreme. and what does that mean for that operation, for the operation of the organizations and the day for the organization, supporters? well, he affectively means the organizations and now impulsive, was wrong in russia, in anticipation of this decision boundaries team had already disbanded the organization. so today's working on that side from an organizational point of view doesn't actually change a thing, but it does make legal for them to basically come back. the leaders can face really lend the prison sentences of up to 6 years of being with extremely organization. and then going down the chain, you know, people even contributed money or event due to the vagueness of the law. the surrounds was extremely organizations can and can do. it means that maybe people who even re, posted something from one of these organizations could face a fine or even 15 days in prison. and as he just did that, one of the main things, one of the main reason the government has moved in this direction is because

anybody who has been associated with an extreme organization, it was massively disqualified from running for office in russia. and that's crucial with a view to the coming elections in september if we need all of our allies abad from running right. despite that members of his team have already said that they won't step back. activism, taught to see how they could continue. yes, i think when they say they want to continue the rank division that's over so you can have to go from an organizer to a more organized format. they won't be able to participate in these organizations. and i think it's been made pretty clear by the russian government that they also one stomach, any type of phoenix organization or a new organization that pops off. so they're really looking at moving their activism offline, almost in a throwback to what was going on in the, in the soviet era. but they hope and they believe they have the person,

network person connections keep going and ahead of september, the elections in their home on the small boasting the tactical voting system. which by they hope that if they can't get their candidates elected to parliament, they can at least encourage people to vote against the united russia ruling in russia and vote for the best place canada and who compete the united russia canada . and they hope that the system can exist outside of any formal structure shed online amongst friendship groups among headed arm channels. and that's where they hope they can have their immediate impact over the next few months. thank you for that. j cordell. in moscow we'll take a look at some of the stories making news around the world. president biden has withdrawn executive orders passed by donald trump, the band, the chinese own mobile apps, tick tock, which at a national security grounds is that the bible administration will conduct a review to identify security risks associated with aps,

owned by foreign companies. thousands of people have taken part in a vigilant canadian city of london to mourn for members of a muslim family who run down by the driver of a pickup truck on sunday. 5 minutes to just intruder has described the killing of a hate driven terrorist attack. us vice president common harris's, finished her 1st foreign trips since taking office. she met with president andrew manuel has the open door in mexico city to discuss how to reduce illegal border cross in from mexico. in guatemala. she won't people from latin america against attempting to enter the us, who migrations driven by desperation. it's going to take more than a harsh warning to convince poor people not to make the dangerous journey north. oh, they call it the beast, a freight train of fear and hopeful migrants, the freight train that will take them from the south of mexico to the north. right

now the train is approaching a hostile for migrants. the man jump off risking their lives in the process. a couple of them fall, but they don't have time to stop. they hurry to the hospital, only there they say from the mexican police. what i. everyone who arrived yesterday got caught in the police sting. the say the office, either rob them or chase them to exhaustion. junior, escaped, but injured his foot. guess i live in the u. s. has pain mexico to catch us. why isn't all that money being used to fight organized crime? don't you see would dine here. the people who fall off the train often dial lose the limbs. where is your conscience factor? so, so me, ambrose. i was asked al, appropriate thing i can see as yeah. louise from guatemala is worried about the

police caught his wife in his 5 year old son. he has to continue alone gang crime too. destructive, hurricanes in the pen. demik have driven his family from the home, but live in mexico is no better. so in the american dream, his heart, mexico was a nightmare for us. the border agents, the police, the drug cartels, the mexican police catch us, then they demand 30500 pesos to let you go. and just getting into space, we'll say used to put in the how do you the pressure has only increased in recent days. luis doesn't believe that a money from the u. s. will change anything at all in mexico, or in guatemala. is what the musket then the u. s. can invest millions and millions, but ultimately it won't help regular people one bit because the government itself is corrupt. they're all in bed with criminal groups, and they're not about that because it's only, you mean those love is just raising in from the south. this doesn't have any money

for bribes and feels like he doesn't have a future back home. but jumping on the train is impossible, he a concrete post have been erected to prevent that to be able to grab the train and run alongside it. it's very fast. you can't get up from a standing stop. every train brings new migrants to the hospital where they hide from the police. all the railway security standing at each crossing, hiding behind bushes and a few kilometers away. these 2 are ready to risk it all on levies. year they want to get to the u. s. no matter the cost and improving access to sites for people with disabilities, it's something that most of us can agree. it's a good idea. but greece has witnessed something of an outcry from some quarters about visual changes being made to one of the world's best known heritage. sites

the acropolis, greece is most iconic, landmark. it was built in athens some 2500 years ago during europe's 1st experiment with democracy. but it's a steep climb up. and in the spirit of 21st century inclusiveness, the current government has decided to make the monument more accessible to visitors . a new cement walkway enables wheelchair access and authorities now plan to add rails and braille signs for the visually impaired. what's it called? the bush, ma'am. i've seen people in wheelchairs who came up for the 1st time and felt happy . i think this is something that should also make us happy with that demand. but not everyone is happy. some politicians and academics say the new additions are ruining the classical statics. it mon, over the course, this site was never paid when it was always just the rock and throughout history.

if there had been a ramp, it would have been paved with marble or stone, but that never existed. i laughed in bit except for there are some foreign tourists say they aren't bothered by the modifications. this is one of the most recognizable sites on the entire planet. and with the technology, we have not to make it accessible to people who have mobility issues is just kind of brutal, actually the culture ministries, as the improvements have been designed and installed with care. and that the criticism is politically motivated. well, here in germany, lots of schools have be turned to their regular teaching schedule. after a long period of closures and home schooling. because of the pandemic students, and are required to be tested regularly for covey. 19. and usually this involves the use of uncomfortable nasal swamps. but one region, i swap the swabs for lollipops. database right. are you

ready in 30 seconds? go unloading the 32nd children at this elementary school in cologne. second, which was the swabs and then go to a lab where they are tested. that's a comparative this you method aims to make testing easier for young children and it's quite good. it's definitely better than no test test. hinden elkins park, i find, is quite handy because afterwards i feel safe about whether or not i have corona danny over the house, but the taste is disgusting. i always try to think of lollipops afterwards. tastes still doesn't leave my mouth from the caps takes the cotton swabs to the lab for logistical challenge. because another 500 schools,

i'm bringing their tests here. in the lab, the swamps are tested using what's known as the pooling method. this means all cotton swabs from one class evaluated together in one test. this is because the lonely test is expensive. the state pays around 50 euros per analysis numbers each month. if you take 20 swaps are presenting 20 students and divide them by 50 euro's then you get a good price. additionally, if you would have to at the cost of logistics and the materials use. but i think what absolutely competitive with the rapid tackle face. if the pool is positive, individual retesting is required. generally, the left doesn't deliver the results until the next morning, but that would still be early enough to break a potential chain of infection that's on the clip sod. destiny

from us. we are multiplying the genetic material of this virus by effect of 30 trillion doors. this means that you can recognize a virus activity and it is very low fee. and not only when someone is highly infectious and already spreading that virus load among animals mentioned sometime. here at the elementary school, several infections have been detected at an early stage using the lolly test. although covet cases are currently declining in germany. the kids will continue using the test at least until the summer holidays. ok, now instead of taking place in freezing february, this year's berlin international film festival is an open ass celebration. the summer specials just begun. featuring outdoor public screenings of 126, a film to be shown in 16 open instead of us across the city. about an hour as

a central venue is especially created, open and cinema on the cities museum island. and the red carpet has already been rolled out and set d w a stop to rock spread as a veteran burner report a welcome scott. so a cinema finally back i think so, i mean at least the feeling of sin is back here in berlin. i think an actor was booked with the right carpet set at best. he said it feels like coming out of hibernation. we, we've had such a long, a dark period behind us is, i mean, for the cinema industry, they've been sort of locked out of cinema's because there's been, the sinners have been shut down for cinema lovers like myself. we've been stuck in our little caves at home on our sofas, watching movies by the light of our laptops. and so to be able to come out and

celebrate movies again with a real audience in a real, in the area like this in berlin in the summer. and so be freezing on a red carpet in february i usually i'm at the belly knowledge. it's just just amazing and really moving. i mean if i was a less emotional, repressed person, i probably would be choking up right now. ok. so it's pretty big shown on this evening. tonight we're opening with the martini, which is a big hollywood, a film, a political drama about a 100, a inmate who finally won his freedom. it stars jodie foster and bennett. a come back to unfortunately aren't here tonight though they have been hooked up by a live video feed to be able to give their best wishes to the, to the audience here. but sort of a nice big political film to start off this a belly not which is very appropriate because berlin is really known for its strong political cinema. and the book always being going from fact iahomes,

i think this is a 71st edition has ever encountered a situation like this before. no, nothing like this before. this is completely new. the bell in our held a on online only version this march. first, sort of the international, a film industry. so we could see the new movies being shown here. but then to do another in person festival in the summer, in an open air festival that has never been a tried before. and i think it's interesting because i think it really shows is a signal not just for the german film industry, but for the world film industry that maybe things could get back to normal. now, cinemas, i was trying to reopen around the world, and this is the 1st sort of really big public film festival we've had since the start of the corona pandemic. hopefully this is a sign that things are only going to get better and that movies are back. yes, i was just on that. what do you recommend for the future? yeah, i'm really hopeful. i mean, the signs are around the world that cinemas are reopening. the people are going

back to the movies that they haven't gotten out of the habit of movie going, which a lot of people feared they might after so long away. so i'm very, very hopeful, obviously tried to predict the future is a bugs gave us. we seen from this this past year, but i'm really, really hopeful an event like this, this, this 1000000000. i was some special, i think, gives us all hope for all movie lovers around the world. that things are going to get back to normal. hopefully very, very soon. all right, well thank you for that. scott scott ross, for from the nala japan prime minister has insisted the upcoming tokyo olympics will be safe, unsecure, but in a sign of the uncertainty surrounding the games yesterday, he de suger said the event wouldn't go ahead if the lives of the japanese people couldn't be protected japan battling a 4th wave of corrode a virus infection just weeks before the game start, particularly in support, which is hosting the marathon. public opposition remains high and even some local organizers have their doubts. this is how i didn't pick. officials hope the

claps. we have other patients besides those with corona virus. for example, when there's a cancer patient who needs an operation, we can't give it because the intensive care unit is not available to try to organize is pushing on these games must be starting to feel like a medicine. they continue to insist the olympics can be health safely. the focus now just getting them over the finish line, the future up to date, a more world news at the top of the hour. i'll be back in just a moment to take you through the big stories of the day in the day. so have a good day. the the who's
