and emission to reset america's relations with the world on his 1st trip abroad since taking office. president biden has packed itinerary. the g 7 summit is followed by a nato meeting you talks and the face to face with russian president vladimir putin . wow. what a warm welcome from america. the 1st 2 ladies 1st. the president sat himself apart from his predecessor, even before stepping up to the microphone in his way. joe, giving the opening remarks to us troops stationed at the air base when he did speak, my little message was clear 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 toughest challenges and the issues that matter most to our future that we're committed to leading was strength, defending our values, and delivery for our people. the president has strong words for put into betty to the g 7, then to the nato ministerial, and then to meet with mr. newton to let him know what i want him to know from had been unwilling to stand up to russia and was accused of pandering to autocrats 5. unless little doubt that those days are over the united states will respond in a robust and meaningful way. and the russian government engages and harmful activities. we've already demonstrated that i'm going to communicate that there are consequences rely for violating the sovereignty of democracies in the united states

in europe and elsewhere. having laid down a marker at the start of his whirlwind tour, biden has left both allies and adversaries with little doubt of what to expect. the london corresponded big mass is covering biden's visit and joins us now from carpets bay in cornwall. that's where the u. s. president will meet with british prime minister board johnson today thursday, and where the g 7 leaders are set to meet to morrow. where get president biden is taking off this whirlwind tour in the u. k. what's his priority there? well, president biden definitely wants to re establish the us as a global power. you want to reestablish leadership in areas such as climate change and also when it comes to tackling the cove, it's panoramic. he's also meeting boris johnson, the u. k. prime minister, the u. k. of course, historically a very important dalla off the u. s. however,

when it comes to the personal relationship between those 2 d, this might be a little bit delicate this meeting today because president biden had one's liking for johnson to a clone of president trump. however, we know that for both leaders, it is an important meeting, and it is also important for both them that this g 7 summit goes well. so we assume that they will try to make good with the u. k no longer in the u. back it is their work to be done to reconfigure us british relations. well, yes, sure. and we know, you know, the u. k has only just left the european union and president biden was not a fan of breaks it. unlike his previous s, a donald trump, and he's headed by has made it always very, very clear that for him having irish roots that this issue of ireland and of the good friday agreement of the peace process and the republic of ireland. that's an

absolute priority for him, and just now we're seeing that the u. k. and you actually and gulf in quite a big row over island, over the border, and then overboard at checks and basically technical issues that nevertheless cause big problems when it comes to the relation between the u. k. u 2, we will expect that joe biden was desperately raised this issue and might help boys johnson off when it comes to the piece choices. know the knowledge we can. thank you very much. those are correspondent, big master in karmas bay in the u. k. now europe in union has condemned a russian court decision to ban organizations. connected to the opposition lever, alexis body a course in moscow declared the groups to be extremist, the ruling bars. people associated with groups from running for public office dashing hopes of nevada and these allies of seeking seats in a parliamentary election in september activists to have worked with the

organizations and anyone who donates to them or shares to groups. materials could be prosecuted and go to prison, or for more on the verdict. let's cross over to our moscow correspondent, emily, sherwin. this sounds like a for reaching decision. tell us more. while this decision was pretty widely expected, even before the trial decided, the court decided rather to declare these organizations extremist, the network of noble, these offices had already dissolved. the prosecutor's office here had actually said that they would not be able to work any more, even in anticipation of the courts vertex. the trial itself took place behind closed doors. there seemed to be a lot of material to get through. the trial took 12 and a half hours, but the lawyers defending of these organisations said that it seemed like the court

was in a rush to just get the decision out. apparently they rejected. the court rejected all the appeals that the defense lawyers made and tried to bring into proceedings almost as if they were rushing through. there were hardly any breaks, apparently. and what this means now is that these organizations will not be able to disseminate any information. no one associated with them will be able to take play, take part in upcoming elections. anyone who worked for about these organizations or was involved with them could face up to 6 years in jail. and even as you said, anyone who posts information from these organizations or has posted in the past could face fines are up to 15 days in jail. i want to talk more about that. but 1st, let's hear this reaction from one of the defense lawyers. let me remind you again

that the anti corruption foundation isn't the organization. it's the people. how can, when i mediately stop these people's activities, is not quite clear to me. i think it's impossible. it comes up either. i don't know . and that was one of the anti corruption organizations defense lawyers. emily, he was sounding defiant, but this law, this decision effectively does hamstring. the russian opposition had a fall election, doesn't it? well, certainly hamstrings, anyone associated with ali, say now by these organizations they won't be able to run in the upcoming elections now. and it also isn't quite clear how not buying these organizations, or anyone you know, associated with him will kind of organize their work going forward. even when this, the prosecutor's office asked for these 3 or organizations to be clarity, extremist, nobody's allies said we will continue our work even if we don't have an office that

all doesn't matter. but it's kind of not clear how 1st of all organizationally, but i think the biggest hurdle that now by knees allied face now is people's growing fear. because this extremism label means that if you're associated with the organization or were associated with it, you know, you could face real consequences. and for example, nobody has been calling for people to register for what he calls smart voting. which means basically, these hours we'll send you the candidate who in, in the vote could most likely be the ruling united russia party in your area. and, you know, people could be afraid to even register their for example. there was a case recently where a database of nevada, the supporters was actually leaked. and i think that fear now will be growing going forward. so it's, it's hard to know how many people will be likely to take that risk. you know these corresponding in moscow there, emily?

sure. when thank you so much sketch up on some of the stories making headlines day the world's largest meat processing company, j b s. as it paid a ransom of $11000000.00 during a cyber attack. earlier this month. the attack interrupted capital slaughtering and us plants and threatened to disrupt food supply chain. followed in earlier cyber attack on the colonial gas pipeline. the f b i has recovered most of the rents and paid their major oil pipeline a post by environmentalists and climate change campaigners has been cancelled. the keystone excel pipeline would have carried crude oil from canada to the u. s. president joe biden revoked it's permit on his 1st day in office. now the company behind it scrapped the project child labor has risen for the 1st time in 20 years. united nation says 160000000 children around the world are forced to work. more than half or younger than 12. un is warning that the pandemic could push

a book. do you all usually is one of them. he's an unskilled migrant laborer who has been working in the informal sector in the capital for almost 6 years. but times are tough for him. he was left without any work when delhi went into lockdown after the city was hit by the 2nd week of school with 19 time, we're barely getting any work. there is so much unemployment. many of the labor also come back from the villages the way to you for a job every day, but there just isn't enough work. your guest says he finds casual work only one or 2 days a week. hardly enough to make a living. others have had better luck. kitchen john found me is a migrant worker who skills as a mason have landed him a job at a construction site. we're facing a very difficult time, but it work is not like

a regular white collar jump, which is hard to find. as things opened up in construction starts, we will get some small jobs because we know the work boundary says that if there is another major disruption from a 3rd wave, he would have to take loans to survive. as a city begins to open up again with some economic activities, revealing many also migrant workers have made their way back into the city and hope to find the world. but so not much is coming. and according to a new study, it's not being fall, especially with the suffering yet again. but millions of people in the country have lost their job. and the job and unemployment rate have shot up. the economist hawker thing says the problem is much bigger. he says that many migrant workers are choosing not to come back at all and are dropping out of the workforce because to see few opportunities of finding employment. and he thinks and your recovery will take time. it's not go why the cycle would determine the economy. which is

basically the larger effect of the 1st we've still lingering on. and it will compound with this 2nd 3rd, and determine possibly get into a bigger effect. it will take on longer time for the economy to, for the labor market, for the employment needs to come to the nominal anomaly. the unskilled worker remembers how last deal millions were left jobless during the national lockdown. some of them never found work again. she feels that the same, the happened to him was at all. i'm thinking that if i don't get work soon, i'll go back to my village and it looks like i might have to just seems to be no work right now. it was another day with no job for your case. he will be back again at the same spot tomorrow morning waiting for work. but he doesn't know how much longer he can hold out. and our correspondent manero chaudhry,

who filed that report just now from delhi when, what's the indian government doing to address this mass unemployment issue? and as long as we have shorter, especially of an area and a lot of migrant workers are included. now we saw last year after the policy, a lot of my neck and actually went back to the villages and i saw a full back on the government announcing a lot of peas and packages. if you need to figure out who the now the 2nd be able to do the fact is awesome. but why does that come to me would be of the nation wide lockdown that happened last year. and yes, to the fact that that is the legal marketing indian just reported a new one day record for coven deaf. but the pandemic is said to be slowing down,

at least in urban areas. what's the government strategy now been there for tackling the pandemic? i said the was seems to be all over the excuse me. yes, but yes, pretty much. and they have implications helped yet. so the challenge that they got at the moment, the next one is the back piece of life. we have the, the run, keep up with the, the month just a couple of days ago, prime minister will be addressed to the nation unknown. essential like last the be something is to be happening to be off. and also as a sciences, have already, one of them actually is in the cleveland that we have. so it's a want students, white ration, government and the government, the middle of the are trying to wrap up pretty much when there are. thank you very much. the was the w manero over there in telling you are watching the

news still to come. there's one benefit to this year's long delayed berlin international film festival. instead of a winter event, it's our outdoor summer spectacle will look at what's on the big screen under the storms. the 1st several of americas riches people have paid a little or no income tax. and recent years and investigative journalism outlet pro public says it has seen tax returns showing that billionaires avoided paying tax. us thirty's are investigating the source of leaked confidential files there, the world's richest man, jeff phases one of the lawn, musk they pay less taxes than most people. while living mind blowing, lifestyles pro public revealed the pays, those paid no taxes in 20072011, while musk peyton 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 on millionaires. and billionaires was gaped 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, as report came out, the white house focused 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. by collecting that money, it seems, or you will be quite a challenge. we've been working on the slander for 3 years. cultural life here in germany is slowly reviving, after months of locked down. what's normally berlin's top event in the middle of winter is now taking place as an outdoor celebration. really, an international film festival has already handed out its trophies to golden bears in an online competition. now, audiences can finally see the entries under summer skies. berlin's museum island is being turned into a giant open as cinema 1st on the bill, the more italian jody. first. as does as a lawyer, defending

a suspect being held at guantanamo bay, after $911.00. it will be 3 names on the lawsuit. united states america, donald rumsfeld, and george w bush like a list is jodie foster won't be here in person because of travel restrictions. instead, it's a bell in order for the fans. i think we all need a little bit of hope and happiness. this event comes after a very long, dark moment and the made the most important thing for us is really to give the feeling that it's possible to stay together. and without any fears, it's all different this year, outdoor screenings only, and the berlin bears are already awarded the pandemic and the rise of screaming, but changing all the room.

and for more on this use rather different berlin film festival and joined by the w as culture correspondence, scott rex for august is so finally a bell in the, in the summer. but without the awards. how significant is it, scott that these films are finally being screened? i think it's incredibly significant. i was at the opening ceremony last night and one of the actors i spoke to the red carpet. he said it was like coming out of hibernation because we've all been sort of in our own little caves that home, you know, watching, watching films with us, the light of our laptop. and this is the 1st time for many people and maybe over a year that they've been able to see a film on a big screen with, with a real live audience. even though it was, was open air and on the cinema. and for the film industry and for cinema fans, i think it's a hugely important moment. i'm sort of

a side hopefully that thing maybe are getting back to normal, that movies are coming back. so tell us more about the films themselves and the viewing experience here. what is it that the, that film goers have to look forward to? well, from the view experience that it's quite different than your typical bailey knowledge that takes place usually in the winter and it's, you're cold and you're inside this, these, these little theaters. these are all open air theaters are doing for this festival . the summer festival. so they're in the quite dramatic impressive locations. last night. it was on the museum island front of the famous program on museum. the you could see the bullying cathedral in front of you in the museum behind you and the huge screen in front of you really impressive. their location in terms of the, the films deflection this year is phenomenal. last night we saw the more canyon which is a big, some hollywood filled with jodie foster. but there's a lot of very interesting art house being shown to me, the one that won the golden beer,

which has the phenomenal title of bad luck banging or do neat born. it's a social satire from romania, phenomenal film, exactly the right film for sort of this moment in time after that sort of crazy year that we've had berlin's culture minister called this year's belly, not a new start for culture, but the pandemic really has had taken a horrible toll on the film industry and culture as a whole. how deep has the impact been on the film industry? it's been phenomenal, particularly in the center beside. send was of course have been shot for almost a year now. the there have been allowed to reopen in some parts of germany, but there hasn't still really going to complete sort of nationwide reopening. and germany is a bit different than a lot of other countries in that there's a lot of sort of mom and pops in them. opperation here there's a lot of sort of small business owners have one or 2 syllabus instead of the sort of huge change change to dominate everything. and they've been really, really hard that they can't sort of take a hit of one year without income. so

a pull, now the german government has supported the sort of small operations, but it may be seen how quickly they can come back to them. to start to reopen. the big question for all these cinema owners across germany is, will people come back in droves? will they enter the cinema, or people have gotten out of the habit of going to the movies and for a year out, they haven't been able to. i think that's the real big question. the answer that will show how deep the damage has been to the center of industry. people going to pass belly and others like yourself are used to shivering out on the red carpet. we see stars coming in, you know, often some, some of the women wearing dresses in this very cold temperatures. finally, we're in the summer. do you think maybe the berlin, combustible might end up happening in the summer in the future? yeah, i mean it's funny going way back before my time. it wasn't or festival that was the original idea of the belly within many, many years ago they moved it to the winter months, also to fit better with the sort of film industry calendar. it happened before the oscars, so there's some that big push before that having

a really now in the summer is phenomenal. i be last night being under the sky in warm weather. people were having a great time of it gets real. so berlin some are feeling, but i don't think it's going to be going to happen. i think they might have some special events in the future, but it's going to be a winter event going forward. sadly, scott, thank you so much. our cultural correspond scottsboro, and forget just a quick monitor of the top stories we're following for you today. us president joe biden has arrived in the u. k for the some of them g 7 nations being held this weekend is the president's 1st international trip since taking office in the speech after he landed biden declares the u. s. is back. he will also attend to nato summit and meet russians, rushes president vladimir putin in geneva, and european union has condemned a russian court decision to ban organizations connected to the opposition leader election divani judges and moscow declared the groups to be extremist, ruling bars, people associated with the bodies groups from standing intellectually,
