i remind myself because i grew up in a completely different way. it's broad explorer, las vegas, jewish in us that important talk him entry starts july 5th on dw, the ah, this is the w news, and these are our top stories. us president joe biden has arrived in the u. k for the summit of g 7 nation being held this weekend. it's the president's 1st international trip and he took off in january and his speech shortly after he landed by and declared the u. s. is back, he will also attend to the nato summit and meet a russian president vladimir putin in geneva or russian cause has outlawed the political organization linked to opposition leader alexis the only the

judge ruled that developed these non violent anti corruption foundation is extremis . and that is intended to destabilize russia, the bel, me has been in jail in february, off the surviving. another agent poisoning me berlin's international film festival. the bill of knowledge is back with a summer special, more than $100.00 films will be screened as open as to the mess across the city. the main venue created for the event will be on museum island in central burden. this is d w. news from burden you can find much more on our website, d, w dot com the oh, the rich men paid no taxes. that's the claim from pro public about some of america's richest

men. the independent non profit news website claims to say the tax returns of jeff pays off the musk and warren buffett. and they say the amazon chairman paid no tax in 2007, 2011. the tesla 0 must pay nothing in 2018. so even if it's perfectly legal, is it right? i'm fill galen berlin and this is the day the new likes to pay taxes. i know my dad is a small price for live in this country. we know that there is more to be done to ensure that corporations, individuals who are the highest income, are paying more of their fair share. so rich and powerful seem to break the rules and pay no price. millionaires and billionaires were escape taxes by cheating. he

didn't pay any federal income tax so that maybe they're getting tax cards. getting tax breaks enough is enough, no matter what they did. they pro richer and more powerful on the de, canada, united states, regain its competitive edge and future technologies. the us senate has passed to new legislation to spend billions to count to the threat from china. we spend less than half as much as the chinese communist party on basic research. the world is more competitive now than in any time since the end of the 2nd world war. if we do nothing, our days, if the dominant superpower may be ending the welcome to the day we begin with the revelation of some of america's richest men, paid no income tax. in recent years,

investigative journalism unit pro public says it has same tax returns showing the 1000000000 as well, legally able to avoid taxation. a potentially explosive issue in the time of rising inequality. u. s. tax or therapy says, is investigating how confidential cash records will leaked. there the world's richest men, jeff phasers, what 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 were 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 pro public, his report came out, the white house focused more on condemning the leak than on the issue of tax 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 by and ministration has said that many of its priorities will be paid for by higher taxes on the wealthy. what collecting that money, it seems,

or you will be quite a challenge. we've been work, jeff and 1000. there is one of the 3 journalist who broke the story. he's a senior data reporter at pro public and welcome to d w. so how are they doing this? thanks for adding the. so our story, the relatively simple point about how the tax system works. so the average american wage or salary and they pay taxes on it mediately, right? it comes out of their paycheck every month for the ultra wealthy, it's completely different picture, most of what matters to them and how much they're at that scope and value. and that said outside a tax system until they make a decision to stock, which you know, the enter your lu taxable event. so huge fortunes are able to grow outside of the system completely. and what we found a good over 5 year period are wealthy in the country, the top $25.00 riches people. that's other fortunate grow by $400000000000.00 and

paid less than 3.4 percent and that in taxes. so mostly it's a matter of sort of keeping income down as, as the system recognizes that the taxes are recognized. right. and as far as we can tell, you could tell, did you discover any evidence of illegality? our story is not about so the illegal any illegal mechanisms for, for evading taxes of what we observed is perfectly legal. you know, the system merely doesn't, doesn't recognize wealth growth as, as taxable. so know we were focused on the things that people were doing that routinely illegally. right. so what, what, what change is it that you, that you, what did you hope to achieve with this story? what are you trying to bring about?

well, clearly the discussion of taxation and spending priorities taking place in the united states currently and that conversations and taking place without all relative facts . we think it's clearly in the public interest for the public to understand what the wealthiest country paying taxes and how that compares to what typical american and we've heard president by saying that he wants to increase taxes for the richest americans to raise money for a massive infrastructure program, do you see that as being a step in the right direction? well, you know, i think the, the a proposal by the administration, one thing to keep in mind is that they largely focus on increasing rates. which is what the conversation has been dominated by for, for decades in the united states. what our report found is that increasing rates, i mean, it will certainly affect wealth. it's more than other americans if you're talking

about raising capital gains rate. but what we observe is still outside of that system, so it's not going to really capture, right? so the most of the largest chunk of what's going on tax, in terms of the ultra wealthy fortunes. and now the internal revenue service and we are launching investigation is not into the 1000000000 as tax affairs, but into where this leak came from. you worried? of course we're taking this all very seriously and we're following those developments. you know that we're we're, we're paying attention worse. okay. it's always good to pay via i pay attention when the f b, i that looks in to you. and why do you think this person or these people elite this information to you? i can't really comment on the motivation the any, any,

any 3rd nor do i know your data, john les this is a relatively recent job title, and then i'm increasing number of data journalists in this increasingly digital age and kind of more about what your job entails it basically entail a lot of, you know, when there's a story where you might need code or you might need somebody who is really good working with numbers. that's a lot of times what will involve data journals? are there more revelations to come in the story? absolutely. i, we intend to continue writing stories based on this information in the coming month . ok. and so what can we expect next? can come out of the story that we're working on, but we rest assured we are working on that. ok. that's fair

enough. especially a game, but there is probably a watch, it's just an house of public and thank you. thank you for having oh, at every point along the way, we're going to make it clear that united states is back and democracies of the world are standing together to tackle the tougher challenges and the issues that matter most to our future that we're committed to lady was strength, defending our values and delivery for our people. as president jo biden's in europe on his 1st and foreign ship of his presidency to confer with allies and to confront russia. he touched down in britain where he'll be attending a summons of g 7. leaders is next up we'll be brussels for meetings with nathan in unit is triple concludes is face to face talks with that russian president vladimir

putin in geneva expected to press the russian leader on the ukraine, cyber crime and his content on the students. well ahead of mr. biden's. first, a foreign trip to europe. the music security conference has released a report saying the west needs to prepare for a period of systemic competition with authoritarian powers, presenting the report in berlin. veteran journal diplomat. both can ation, you said that western democracies need to pull together in the face of increasingly assertive china and russia in a big w exclusive chief international editor, which is walker spoke with both on sooner and asked him what systemic competition with these countries is likely to look like china has come out of hiding. china was reluctant player on the global sea until very recently now they have shown their muscles and we need to deal with that. and this is why, of course,

there will have to be, at least from a german point of view, continue cooperation or selling hopefully a good number of, of german automobiles to china. but they will have to be a different element also in terms of competition. on what means power, what defines power and influence and that means war and peace in the 21st century. and that is actually the new element here, where we will have cooperation not only on trade like automobiles, but also on climate protection on prevent climate change on prevent terrorism on preserving nonproliferation in new key issues on hopefully advanced jobs control, etc, etc. but also in pushing back against also with every regimes like, you know, the one party chinese state which is based on an entirely different ideas that our

kinds of western democracies. so it's going to be a very challenging future environment for policymakers, but also for the public using the public around europe for instance, are ready for a up for this period of competition. our leaders need to make sure that the message which the public receives that the message works and is coordinated with the message that our partners conveyed to their publics. that requires, 1st and foremost, because we know that the united states has a china policy. they know what they want to achieve with time. they have to find it . do we have in the european union, a coordinated china policy? does the european union speak with one voice on china that can our partner in washington define? what is the position of china? not really so far?

we reflect on germany. it is, its economy is highly dependent on china and insecurity is athletes. and until the united states, we think forward through this century it can that position be sustained. of course, our preference will probably not be identical to that of the united states. but as, as i tried to say before, 1st, our 1st job offers element of homework has to be to figure out a coordinated joint european position with which we can then go to washington. can we talk about this? where is overlap of interest? where is identity of interest? where are difficulties where we find it very difficult to agree. that's the way to go forward. we need to be, of course, on, on the transatlantic side of things when it comes to china. but i don't think that

we will always find ourselves in the, in the, in, in that we will always define our interests exactly identical to the definition that our american friends are writing. how many, thanks. thank you. united states most over the world's biggest economic power, but china has long been closing in the us senate says now approved a multi 1000000000 dollar investment package to counter that trend and to defend the u. s. place at the top on this vote. the a are 68, the names are 30 to the 60 vote threshold having been achieved. the bill is past bipartisan agreement this re these days in the halls. but on this bill, republicans and democrats came together to boost the u. s. ability to compete with chinese technology, which as a percentage of g d. p, we spend less than half as much as the chinese communist party on basic research.

we rely on foreign nations to surprise credit supply critical technologies that we invented like semiconductors. indeed, the u. s. global market share of semiconductor manufacturing has steadily eroded from 37 percent in 1990 to about 12 percent today. and recently, a chip shortage has exposed vulnerabilities and the u. s. supply chain. the center piece of the new bill is a $50000000000.00 investment in semiconductor development and manufacturing. there's also $29000000000.00 to establish new directorate, focused on artificial intelligence and quantum science with the national science foundation and $52000000000.00 for research programs. they are over all the bill calls for investments of about $250000000000.00 with most of the

spending occurring in the 1st 5 years in a major effort to decrease the u. s. dependency on chinese product. ah, now dispute over the use of the term basmati has left a sour taste in the mouth of india and pakistan. both countries, grove, the much loved variety of rice and its only global exports us. but india as applied to the european union for the soul rights to use the term bass massey, when it's sold in the u. approval would spell disaster for pakistan, which also sounds best matching rise here. the india and pakistan are among the largest producers of royce in the world when it comes to the type known as the multi. they are the only global export to the european union being a key market for both countries. but now india is putting

a spam it in the works by asking brussels to grant it sole ownership of the term. but marty, it's a move that pakistan faith would devastate it. right? industry the school 90 percent of our work with multi rice. we purchased multi rice from our pharmacy to factories will shut down. we can't produce too many other kinds of variety, like directly dropping in a telling homeowners that actually bought above that to try to gain the upper hand. india has european commission for what's called protected geographical indications status for about multi right. if principals approved in this request, then pakistan would have to rethink the way it market its product to the u. as only

india would be allowed to use the name basmati rice. some experts i casting down on dallas claim and thank you story town is a relatively new country that was created during the partition of india. so obviously directly the reputation and geographic area for us multi i come to india department. thank you still. when dispute such as this arise, countries are usually asked to come up with an amicable solution. pakistan said it's hoping to be able to persuade india to acknowledge the shared heritage of marcy wright and then to submit a joint application to the new aah to japan where the prime minister has insisted. the upcoming tokyo olympics will be safe and secure. but, and the sign of the growing uncertainty around the game. so usually he'd suga said they wouldn't go ahead if the lives of the japanese people couldn't be protected.

japan is battling a 4th wave of corona, virus infections just weeks before the start of the event. notably in the support which is hosting the american public opposition remains high and even some local organizers have voice doubts. this is how i didn't pick officials, hope the mattress and the guy protest events like this one a one thing. what will happen in reality? quite another with less than 2 months ago before the madison starts here and the poor, local organizes still have many announce questions like how many athletes will be coming here? and where they'll go with they get infected with the current a virus. take a look, you know what it came up, they need to decide the overall structure of the games, or else the venues won't know what to do when it comes to corona virus measures. it's already affecting our preparations. but if you'd, since they know how to get into spectators which hold to keep their distance during

mays, test events support was chosen for the marathon because of its cooler temperatures in tokyo. but the northern city has the 2nd highest infection rate in all of japan . little and there are no hospital badge left in support. the medical system has 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. if you're trying 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 news, the boat another is back instead of taking place in freezing february. this year is

the film festival in berlin is an open ass celebration. everything is set for us. some special feature of public screenings of $126.00 fellows in 16 open in cinemas. across the city and the central venue will be especially created to open a cinema burnsy museum. i have not seen fit to be living. and of course that d w is the scott to rock tspra as our veterans banner reporter welcome scott. so as cinema finally back. oh yeah, i think so. i mean at least the feeling of sin is back here in berlin. i think an actor i spoke to the red carpet. said it best. he said it feels like coming out of hibernation. we, we've had such a long, a dark period behind us. 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 an area like this in berlin in the summer. and that'd be freezing on a red carpet in february. i usually i'm with the valley nala. 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 was a 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 b inmate who finally won his freedom. it started 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 bella, which is very appropriate because berlin is really known for its strong political cinema. and the but it's been going from $511.00. 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 mugs game as we've seen from this this past year. but i'm really, really hopeful an event like this, this, this brilliant summer 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: rog, tspra from the not was the day as ever the conversation continues online. you'll find this on twitter at the w news and will ends with a little exercise of the upcoming bud anonymous and bred compet highlights in the last 17. have a good me
