the latest on the attack. good evening, clear. so of the attack that began around midday has just ended, as you've rightfully pointed the police through ports. i see that 3 people died and 8 others were injured and they were quickly rushed to kiss my hospital where they are currently receiving medical i 10 short are the police officials quickly i ran into this scene and ensured that all they answer about attackers were actually dealt with with the last person. i have been executed just a few minutes ago. so the siege has just ended, and it has taken just about 5 or 6 hours for you to actually come to an end. and some ali, as a president, her son shank, muhammad, was elected back in may pledging to defeat al siobhan, why hasn't he been able to stop their attacks up until this point? so to actually today's attack, came the backdrop of

a meeting where security officials, one meeting at the hotel that was attacked and the security officials was planning on how to combat. and they also bob myisha. so they, they are president is so mind me has actually been having meetings with various security officials and the security officials have been meeting at to just see how best they can come. but they also bob melisha. but something else that we need to note is that they'll show bob is highly decentralized. they are in their rural areas. initially they used to be in town like his, my was one of their main ah, towns, but they were kicked off in 2011. so they have been trying to, i have more attacks to just they have put more pressure on the government and trying to take over the government. but, and the government has been holding its ground and i live at the seeing a preschool. i to miss was formed a weed stroke over from the amazon africa union mission a peacekeeping mission. so there have been efforts beat by beats to see how they

can be able to combat valuable militia. but because of their decentralized nature, then the president is taking his time to ensure that once he's ah, he's dealt with our shabby to be a once and for all kind of thing. which is something that he also mentioned at the beginning of this month. in exploring for us in nairobi, many thanks for that update now to the war in ukraine and once again, russia is sounding the alarm to civilians. living in the occupied region of her son, ukrainian forces are advancing on the southern front to retake the territory. the kremlin has been pushing civilians to leave the parts of her son, a controls moving them to russia or other occupied areas. or removing civilians from their homes to enemy health land is considered a war crime elsewhere across ukraine. russia's attacks on infrastructure have caused blackouts and water shortages authorities. a millions are without power and are asking those who do still have it to conserve as much as they can aid workers.

most powerful ruler in decades. she's appointment wrapped up the week long party congress in the great hall of the people. constitutional changes cemented. she's dominance. he also shook up the parties senior ranks promoting several close allies . earlier i asked at china specialist mary gallagher at the university of michigan . what she's consolidation of power is likely to mean. well, it's definitely the case that he's completely centralized power around himself. he's promoted all of his people into the policy or a standing committee. so there are no factions anymore to balance against him. it seems to indicate that he will have a lot of a latitude to promote the policies that he's been discussing. and it's really unprecedented in the last 2 decades. we haven't seen the centralization of power around a single person. they also want to talk about the situation for women in china. there will be no women in the poet bureau for the 1st time in 25 years. does that

mark a step back when it comes to women's rights in china? i would say it does. i think there are also a lot of other signs that we can point to that also show that women's rights and women's positions and politics are going to be on a downward trend. it's not, it isn't even just this. it's a bunch of things that have happened over the last several years. there's been more discrimination against women in the workplace after they lifted the one child policy. so that's very hard for women to advance professionally. we've seen crackdowns on feminist activists and we've seen and she just hangs on words, putting much more emphasis on this idea that women have a special traditional role in the family. and why do you think we're seeing this return to more traditional conservative politics? i think the chinese communist party has always been quite conservative when it comes to gender equality. they have advanced gender equality. early on in the, in the 900 fifties women have never reached the pinnacle of power. and when they

have like, during the culture of revolution, it was seen as a very negative thing to have happened. so i don't, i don't think this is going to be a new trend but rather doubling down on something that has always been really strong in the communist party. but i think there is one important reason now and i think it's the economy. i think there and the demographics, so there's a slowing economy and the government will put more emphasis on male employment over female employment. plus they want to boost the birth rate. so i'm not just seen to watch how policy relax. we actually now see women being encouraged to have birds. and in fact, in some cases, being discouraged to have abortions. a reason we've seen women at web protests around the world, for example, in russia and iran, just before i let you go, what do you think the chances are of seeing a similar kind of movement in china? well, she did pain before the concentration of power that we see in his 3rd term. he's

been very deliberate and i think very smart in cracking down on all types of social activism. so we've seen labor in the media. we've seen women crackdown on really since the very beginning of his term in 2012. so while women may try to express dissatisfaction and there are of course and several things that when that has happened, like punish why the tennis player who accused the top chinese leader a great you know, the crackdown has been quite effective at limiting those voices. i thank you so much for that update, as mary gallagher from the university of michigan. really appreciate you taking the time. thank you. a hindus around the world are looking forward to devali the festival of lights starting on monday. but celebration in india's capital delhi could look quite different this year. authorities there have banned fireworks to cut down on pollution. the twinkling lights of earth and lamps, o d, it's ready to welcome into valley celebrations. here in new delhi looks slightly

and criminal cartels. targeted environmentalists in danger starts october 29th on d. w. ah. german picky. the protesters, french yellow vests british brakes a t is for years now. anger has been brewing and spilling out in protest. united by a common question. where does my tax money go? mostly by don't understand taxation. mon, about it. think it needs to be lower. have no idea what proportion is spent on lot in many ways. i think taxation is one of the most extreme actions by a government, but it's also the definition of government because without taxation, there's no government. oh, people's dis, trust in government is growing at the center of the conflict taxes in france. carbon taxes have provoked the most controversy for months. it drove thousands of

people to the streets ah, many who feel abandoned to protesting and discovering a strength in numbers. communities because you will not crush us, the people will not put up with this was treatment for ela, you know, all around france, the yellow vests a sparking a democratic debate. taking up the symbols of tax revolts from history. they list their grievances in writing, outlining their demands and complaints, like in the french revolution. 400000 pages in total address to let to the officials all over france. these open bill, people are afraid to call it a revolution, but i think it's just the beginning of the revolution. no taxation without representation with this basic principle of democracy,

the yellow vests of vocal tradition. going back to the middle ages when citizens all over europe revolted against taxes and duties. mm. i way back in 1215, that was a very unpopular king king john. and he wanted to raise money to fund his army for various expeditions, and he turned to his aristocrats, his nobleman, and he had given me the money and they said, ready for the 1st time in english history. no, we will only give you the money if you in future consult us all things and we are involved in your decision making. and that was a very small beginning of democracy in britain with the magna carta or the great charter. the british were the 1st in europe to lay the foundations of parliamentary democracy in france,

kings secured their budget in other ways to school or to get them set until the 13th 14th century. the french kingdom did not finance itself primarily through taxes on demand that the french kings had real estate and agricultural land that brought an income with new revenue from royal land holdings was the main source of income for the state budget. j little therapy. no new moon, however, this was no longer enough to cover state expenditures with people, especially because of the very high cost of warfare that again, it was use. the king's therefore used to their power to impose duties on their subjects in order to balance the state budget, multi law her lobby. this was a specific strategy of philip the fair known as one of the occur said kings. of course, the financial motivation was at the time a parent is the most politically, almost at the book. with the 100 years war, leaving francis coffers nearly empty. charles, the 7th claimed the royal prerogative to impose taxes,

wielding absolute power. he bypassed taxing, the clergy and nobility instead targeted the peasants and craftsmen these commoners, known as the 3rd estate, found themselves suddenly squeezed by foil taxes. that exec to melissa to book it. it was at this time that the gabriella was created in france on the poor, the tax on salt, which was an indirect tax, which was extraordinarily unpopular at the time at text. salt was a basic necessity. and as such, the tax was a heavier burden for the poor than for the wealthy window of new presented. the king sent out tenant farmers to collect the taxes little of the poor people work constantly. all that remains of their labour is sweat an abject poverty. so everything goes to paying his majesty's taxes and do majesty the thought tax provoked a great many revolts as to the tie,

a direct tax based on land and income. we are calling for the extermination of these leeches, death to the profiteers and collectors of land tax, who are ruining the province in all over the empire. peasants rose up to revolt against their rulers. they had nothing to lose and clashed head on with the king's soldiers. with the revolt was violently suppressed when louis the 14th didn't hesitate to demand new taxes to finance his conquests and build the chateau de versailles all the while. the french people fell into extreme poverty. ah,

and early 18th century france, the royal taxes were no longer enough to cover the states expenses. having squeezed the people for all they had, the state was forced to borrow. by the end of the century, the debt amounted to a 110000000 louis door, the french currency at the time to repay the dis, louis the 16th had to agree to reform. he summoned the estates general, made up of the clergy, nobility and representatives of the 3rd estate. but in doing so, he opened pandora's box consent to taxation in exchange for political representation left also at a booky company key to become a trance at that time was a country that a bit like today was passionate about the idea of reform, but couldn't bring it about capacity, it was this inability to bring about tax and justice reform and insure efficiency

as well which led to the french revolution eva law have wouldn't. can it bertrand? it wasn't only a tax revolt but was born to a large extent out of the anger at the injustice of the tax system. you don't have to through system fisco. and for the 1st time in europe, the people finally had to say, and they didn't wait to be heard. lists of grievances in the thousands was sent to representatives in the states general. mm. kali's, uncle, prison. a present and future taxes which shall be shared by all citizens of every order, according to their ability to hold it without distinction of rank, birth or privilege. it the privilege is any the inhabitants of exile hall and demand, the abolition of the compulsory taxi. they paid 1300 leave left for roads far away while all the roads around their town are awful and impassable. we'll put together

a common complaint found in the letters of grievances both in 17892019 unfair taxation tax equality for every one. every citizen must contribute even a small sum. we want the protection for the commoner, the end of the privilege, dignity to present our tax hikes and social hardships for some that politics is our mission and social needs. you lighter, raise awareness about tax revenues and government spending. about we discussed everything, the economy, politics, money, unemployment, oil, it follows on oh, on the body shop. people are not being listened to. and that drives them crazy with

at the close of the estates, general assembly and $1799.00 revolution broke out. the king was beheaded in the 1st republic was born in blue letters to shuffle says where it's fed used to move what you go. the french revolution was about taking the power to impose taxes from the kings and giving it to an elected chamber. so the taxation system goes hand in hand with democracy. lou, democracy was established so the citizens could work on taxes. we are key vote lump secret, vargas shaw voting our taxes. it's an essential task of parliamentary de la, ample articles, $13.14 of the declaration of the rights of man as it got to find that all. quite wonderful. manila williamson don't have to grow close. article 13 justifies taxation as indispensable to fund the administration and the army gibberish. montgomery newton shall so it says it should be shared by all citizens. it god,

this refers to the uniformity of taxation did. and as it says, according to each person's ability to lock the group, got those who and article 14 says that it's the citizens themselves or their representatives who must disgust the necessity, the amount of the duration, and the exact terms and conditions of taxes. you'll do more than the both. you fair taxation. a wonderful idea, but what exactly would be taxed ah, mercy, florida. she scheduled a key clay romando to show, since she's going to think he'll put the tax system created at the time of the revolution was based on the property. yeah. what we today call property tax was created at that time. the dominant theorists were the physio crafts, who believed that the conditions for the creation of wealth came from land and

agricultural asked them to custom, lucius. mm. mm. but this theory would face opposition in the form of another revelation. the industrial revolution, which began in england with the invention of furnaces and steam engines, now wealth was being created from investing in this new machinery and through exploiting the newly created working class. with throughout europe, tech systems were adapting to this new economy. in addition to property taxes, revenue was raised from consumption taxes on products such as wine matches and tobacco. this tax applied to everyone no matter their income, which is why it hit the working class. the hardest

me but these taxes alone couldn't cover the cost of capitalism. aah! states had to borrow to invest in roads and railways. urban sanitation and colonial conquests. the interest on the growing kid made the rich credit, his even richer debt became an obsession. and the industrial revolution opened a new chapter in the history of taxation. in the 19th century, the ruling conservatives in britain were asking the same question as the french revolutionaries of 1789. how can it be paid back in the government needed to raise revenue? now an easy way of doing sar, i would be to raise taxes on consumption. but also there was a sense that perhaps excise taxes were not particularly fair. and

the idea of fairness was importance. but the sheds mainly by popular movements in britain, in the 19th century, which really tried to bring forward the idea that income taxes were more fair than the excise taxes. and they should be implemented and, and right on the larger number of people, because income tax supposedly at least has the potential to be progressive, right? so in the sense that there is to have a higher income, for example, will be charged a higher marginal rate. but the u. k. government defined the demands of the labor movement while they didn't raise consumption taxes, they refused to create a fair tax system. ah,

bernoulli introduced income tax did nothing to change. wilson equality as it was not progressive. it became law in 1848, for before any european neighbors adopted the system. the 2nd country to implement such attacks was germany all be 20 years later, just after having been unified into the rise. my auto from bismark, bismark had 2 objectives to consolidate the new german stays. and to keep in check the demands of the working class who were now leading the struggle for social justice i hated debate was held in the newly elected parliament of francis 3rd republic, on the one side with the defenders of the status quo, who feared to redistribute the tax system that reduced inequality.
