this is no stranger to tropical storms. seeing an average of 20 each year, scientists warn they're becoming more and more powerful because of climate change. a grim forecast for a nation where natural disasters ranging from earthquake to bo cain interruptions are already keeping vast regions in perpetual poverty. united nations inspectors are heading to ukraine to look into russian claims. that key is planning to use a so called dirty bomb president vladimir putin has ordered his defense minister surrogate troy, who to warn nato that ukraine plans to detonate a low yield radioactive device keep rejects and condemns the claim. ukraine says russia is resorting to nuclear blackmail to divert attention women from its canter, offensive against russian occupation for since elinor, soc of on ease executive director of the vienna center for disarmament and non proliferation. i asked her when nuclear inspectors are expected to arrive in

ukraine last week, actually this week, early explaining to national damage and agents in general, director grossi announced that the inspectors will be sent to the to facilities for claim that are developing the dirty pong, so called your bomb, but it takes time to follow the inspectors to reach the facilities where are still in the war situation need to go by train or by car and depending on the location where they go. we also need to be concerned about their safety and security. they're trying transit to to this facility is secured with some military can wire or other arrangements. so my understanding is they are on their way and should be arriving any day. so logistics are

challenging at these times is how will take that speculation that a dirty bomb could be used has been going on for days. now, how valid is that concern? well, in my personal, you know, this is not a particularly well it statement. and so i would have to really come up with any reasonable explanation. why would you grand do that? and typically the plans are to use it on its own territory, but it is also something that i think in mind you probably just in of a distraction. and this was noted in an attempt to store some of the support for you train the dirty bomb and which is a little a rare material bound with conventional explosives is intended

to disseminate radiation, but it really is going to be limited to the level of explosion and maybe a little bit already, the material is usually can be easily disperse. but from military standpoint, it makes no sense what it would lead in terms of capital to just the people who are killed or affected by explosion itself. which is like a regular explosive and a contamination of the area. so that is one of the issues with this whole scenario. but the 2nd point is the 2 facilities there freshman, named as a possible facilities involved in it. and don't even have them relevant materials. they may get some ice that could be used for the dirt,

but claiming that they gonna use some nuclear materials from this facility is, makes literally no sense. and we'll have to end it there that said eleanor sock of the many, many thanks. you're welcome. thanks to brazil now and that nation's presidential candidates have faced off in their final televised debate before sundays run off elections. right wing leader dryer ball scenario and his left is challenger, louise industrial. lucas silva accused each other of lying poles put former president lula slightly ahead. he has promised to strengthen environmental protections, give more rights to indigenous people and raised taxes on the rich. critics say both so narrow has marginalized indigenous groups and let business over exploit the amazon rain forest lula has also condemned both scenarios. handling of the pandemic in which 700000 brazilians have died. you are you because your po, it'll be like

a. d. w 's, johan ramirez in rio reports on what victory for either candidate might mean a victoria for lola the silva with the 1st and foremost a vindication for him. ah, his political parcher, let's remember that he was convicted for a corruption case. he spent a couple of years in prison. so becoming president and now would be a and a spectacular coming back for him, but also a major victory for the laughter here in the country. on in latin america, let's remember that to many countries in the recent months and years in latin america ha ha, torn to to the left. so brazil turning to the left that would be very important is, is the largest democracy of the region. on the other hand, a potential victory off joe, you both narrow would be, would be that, that consolidation up. there are far right in the country on a confirmation for his controversial wife doing politics. so this is a very important election, not just in brazil,

lola or bar scenario. this is very important also for latin america, because as i said, this is the largest democracy of the continent and also the main economy of the region. so what happens in brazil has an impact in the whole continent. some other stories now making use around the world. authorities in somali, or say to car bombs, have killed or injured scores of people in the capital. mogadishu, attackers targeted the education ministry. the 2nd blast hit as emergency services helped victims of the 1st these lamas group al. sure. bob carries out frequent attacks but has not claimed responsibility about the oldest prisoner at the u. s. guantanamo bay facility in cuba has been allowed home to pakistan. safe. la portia was detained in 2003 and accused of financing. the al qaeda had yet to hottest group. he always maintained his innocence. nigeria is struggling to contain an outbreak of cholera as it contains with its worst flooding. in a decade,

in south africa. the moment the last coronation happened in 1971 under the apartheid regime. the dark days off racial segregation in south africa. and although the white minority rule back then acknowledge the existence of the zulu kingdom, they, for example, expected the zulu king to wear a western attire to wear suit. basically for his coronation, we see a star contrast of that to day of the new coronation of the new king, tens of thousands, including the king out there celebrating zulu kasha and of course, wearing the traditional attire. and just to put it in a bit of context, how important is the new nation is in south africa every 5th? south african actually is zulu. it is by far the biggest ethnic group in the country. i drink, clarify for us. what role does the zulu king play today in south africa? which of course is a republic so south africa government controls the traditional leadership in south africa. they acknowledged aids monarchs and also financed them. so these

monex, including the zulu, have more of a ceremonial rule, but the zune was, as i said, as one of the most important groups in the country. so they do have a very strong moral authority of the kings, especially the zoo looking. we've seen that in the past, and we've also seen it with the current king, even before he took over the throne. he addressed issues like sexualized violence, like gender based violence, like criticizing rides that broke out last year in the region. so he has a strong se people are listening to him, but apart from that, he is also quite powerful, powerful, in the sense that he controls a specific trust that owns 30 percent of the land in question, who not either region or where the zulu lenders basically based performances, hulu are became king, there were reports, of course, of a power struggle for the throne. can you tell us what happened there and how it was resolved? right,

so family feud basically rode up well bought out after the late king passed away. some of the royal family members claims that the current skiing is not the right. as some even went as far as saying that the will off the late king was forced. it was a long court battle over a year it was played out in public. some said was quite an embarrassment to the zulu royal family, but hopefully and likely with this acknowledgement off the government of south africa today that this is been used to looking before it will be over and things will be moving ahead without any for the trouble. d, w. 's or audio increase many, many things out in thousands of people have braved rain in taipei for the 20th taiwan pride parade. the event celebrates the island status as a regional leader in l. g. b t q writes taiwan, is the only country in asia where same sex marriages, legal d, w, corresponded power in wang reports from taipei. this year,

the pride is trying to sign a light on socio political inequality. isn't that eligibility q plus individuals are still face today? for example, like family services, adoption and cross national marriages. what so, what so important and also special about this year is that ukraine's largest out you particular plus organization and team you credit will much through the capital of taiwan. their participation is to remind i want and asia about the ukranian resistance and the importance of human rights in a type of warms. and also taiwan prize last year was held online due to the pandemic. and now with the border re open, so we could expect more people to join the parade to seal well, things may seem a bit grim on earth these days, but at least the sun appears to be in spirits. nasa has just released an image of

the sun smiling. a satellite photo captures, a bright beaming pattern on the face of the sun with dark patches called coronal, holes regions where fast solar wind gushes into space. so, not a real smile, but we suppose worth a cheeky grin. here at the w. coming up next, our documentary tells the history of taxation from the french revolution to present political protests. more news at the top, the next after a vibrant habitat ended glistening place of longing. the mediterranean sea scene of l muster. and to far abdul karim drift along with exploring modern lifestyles and the editor ringing, and he's ready to lead journey this week on

d. w. ah, ah greason, the early 19 eighties, driven by golden unemployment, working people from all over the country took to the streets. they started in liverpool and marched on london. the situation was explosive. the working class, which had been born during the industrial revolution, was taking his stand to defend its rights with placing the service i should wait for you in good faith. when you say job's wife,

same brave home, destroyed by the policy of this, that gentleman margaret, such as economic model was born out of the 1929 crisis. now, following the upheavals of the previous decade, fletcher was reviving his viscous belzoni. this was on this, so if john allergic what happened in the 19 seventy's? the spirit optimism of the economic miracle years subsided the same time economic seriously. milton friedman was from high, it put forward a counter theory. the last date, the better this clash of new development and theories that led to paradise island high believed that a big state was a threat to freedom. he valued freedom even above equality. and i think that that value meant that he constructed a sort of theory of how the economy should work, which we now call less a fair or the washington consensus,

or that sort of very liberal tradition of economic policy making that we should let markets do their business and let individuals make their choices. his famous book, the road to serfdom, had a big influence on margaret thatcher as well as all right, and as soon as she took off this prime minister in may, 979, she implemented higher principles. comp, privatization and to return to a pre world war 2 minimal state to be done. she's a very big figure in british history because she was really the 1st person who told britain, after many decades of decline, that actually britain shouldn't accept that it will forever be declining. it could turn it around. and then she, you know, very tough way said that some hard medicine had to be taken. some difficult decisions had to be taken by industry about taxation about government spending. and so the 1st country to introduce the welfare state also became the 1st to try to

eradicate it some 50 years later, to do this, sacha had to 1st strike a blow to the trade unions in her eyes. they represented the fall of socialism. when she planned to close 20 mines, which were deemed unprofitable, $80000.00 minus went on strike. the longest strike in british history last from 1900. she thought to 1995. using all her power, thatcher crushed it in the tragic results. 3 did 20000 injured, 11300 arrested, a 100 year old workers trade union culture was being suffocated. and the people simply shrugged. under mrs. thatcher, the welfare state was regarded as some getting something for nothing. it was regarded as a disincentive to works or if he were given benefits, you would not be not be interested in working so, so she reset everything really. the biggest thing she did and the most kind of

unnoticed, almost because it wasn't, it's kind of people didn't kind of put it all together. was to privatize massive corporations which had been state run. it was always sold in a way that made it seem. am that it wasn't quite giving it all away. oh, she did that it cancel housing. she did it with the utility and she did it with his gas. she did it, firm telecoms and for local council, she, again, part of the state in less government met lower taxes and less money for public services. thatcher began drastically lowering the tax rate for those with the highest incomes . and for companies, inequality increased almost immediately. if you look at the sort of a, a measure of inequality of britain over the 1980s,

it was one of the most sharp increases inequality anywhere on the planet in there. so these were savage policies when you get to the end of that. and she introduces this thing called the poll tax, which effectively makes it even more expensive for poor people to have houses. the fetch a government's poll tax called for a per capita housing tax, a tax per individual, regardless of income, and no longer her household. thus it resembled the english pole tax of the middle ages, basically taking money from her, from the poor and giving her to the rich. it was the opposite of robin hood. it was so obvious to people that they were gonna get enormous bills. oh, and that's why the post as movement took house off across the country and in many places since nobody, even instigating it, be amazed, people suddenly can say and they put aide what people do in those situations and

have done so at history again is not gonna pay it and the slogan became, am, can't pay, won't pay. ah, with no self proclaimed leader like today's yellow vests in france, the pole tax revolt by past party politics, massive demonstrations like the one in trafalgar square in march 1990 turned into rights. government realized belatedly, that they, they had taken a step too far and that they needed to kind of her back down. and of course, it also played into the whole politics within the conservative party about margaret thatcher, who sort of had outlived her purpose. i think the poll tax protest to succeeded with the trade unions had failed. in the end, they brought down the federal government with the legacy of fetches neo liberal

ideology. something she shared with ronald reagan left a lasting mark on the nation's political life. in germany to neal liberals promised an economic upswing and prosperity. on november, the 9th 1989, the bill involved felt the liberation of the people in the ged out was followed by reunification. something that was widespread celebration in rainy conjunction in a few hours. a dream will become reality now, after more than 40, better years at division. german drummed our fatherland is reunited. i am in the midst of all this euphoria, the governments of the east and west still had to find some common ground of your mac and i and we are creasing an economic and monetary union when you

decide you're feeling today by this means we will introduce the deutsche mark that into east germany, knowing full well that its economy was not competitive, asserted or did a on his congruence vague was this monetary union imposed by the west wood to the detriment of the east, which had to adapt quickly to a market economy. then by fritz wiser, the products, you know, mark there are sturgeon versus for example, the traditional markets, the east german economy kilometers from one day to the next day. and if west german fonts are allowed to buy out a small east german for then it is clear. of course, the west germany is accumulating much greater prosperity than east germany or storage than during his election campaign. helmut kohl had promised east germans that the market economy would bring them prosperity to finance 3 dissertation he introduced in your tax is there he would, a gave up stanford aiden that i can sort of who is all is against it. then argued

that such a solidarity surcharge was needed to bring the budget back into some sort of order in the medium term in order to bring an the new solidarity tax. all sali was paid by all germans based on income. it was seen differently in the west than in the east. many west general felt that they were carrying the burden of re unification. while in the east, people were grappling with an entirely new social system in the mid 19 eighties, neoliberalism and privatization also too called in france. unemployment and poverty skyrocketed with societies. inequality is becoming increasingly pronounced. french people were going hungry, but it wasn't the government who came to the rescue. rather an actor who went by the name of kalu stepped in. he created aristo sticker or restaurants of the heart. a french charity, which distributed food to those in need. for the sure you and for me all

dress, if i like russia is all these are unemployed. people with families, not homeless people go, we prefer to get on groceries instead of prepared food, eating here with the family, with shame here if you pick up groceries and no one knows it was a donation. awful. let me in 1990 the social security contributions of the work as an employer's was no longer enough to cover social security and unemployment benefits. so prime minister michelle ra car, a socialist created a new tax. the c s g. this is really clean of socket hollands itself. so celsius g was introduced in 1993 and as a type of income tax is proportional. a non progressive the tax rate remains the same regardless of income level. it is a tax id, i think of it, but it goes into the coffers of the social security system and not into the state covers be brought to the to you if the school is own reorganized, so to speak, in order to be able to finance an ever larger part of social security through tax

the situation and not only through social security contribution example, equities as also sir. it's meant that the financing, the social security was moving away from the model that had been in place since the 2nd world war. 5 years later, as you pay plan was intended to push this change even further. we love was it the like? was it? yes. fraud is at a crossroads. love. yes. france to day has only the choice between change who decline bigler. ah ah, the will cause rebelled. seeing the plan as a diminishment of their social rights within 24 hours, 2000000 people were out on the streets. something not seen since may. 1968. the unions brought france to a standstill, forcing the government to dropped as you pay plan,

which would have also raised the retirement age for civil servants. 30 years later, the retirement age is still a contentious topic. oh my god, i'm, i'm just being fleeced. i get $1009.00 to $2.00 euros pension and i pay $550.00 euros rent. i'll starve to death. and i worked 40 years in a hospital with an almost a i have been working since i was 15 years old. i will be $62.00 and of k contributions for 47 years. ah, 15 years we've been retired. there hasn't been a dime of increase. and today you want to saddle us with a social security tax as a married couple get used to our complaints until we're dead. i am a widow. please don't cut what little money our poor husband slave so hard for in 42 years of hard work. but never been a drainage study. i've earned my retirement fair and square, don't destroy the system. with the signing of the master treaty in

1992, the welfare state was further eroded. the treaty enabled the free movement of goods, people and cat who was in the european union a win for the ideology. thatcher and reagan such arizona reagan is almost a, such are ism and raggedy, zamiah's flaming deregulation. this with lemmings, softening border in curbing government protectionism fair, but the market sorted out the only the companies, groceries eggplant been 5th, key york that makes for high profit, which of held some emerging market prospect. let me you and allow developing countries to come industrialized and grow. a comment also has drawbacks you designed especially when it comes to taxes that mom at your taxi eggs now playing almost dominant ra hip on the weakening capital taxation, no feebly deprived countries of any ability to collect their taxes on the campus regardless of their social monthly design book is that it would take care of us one

more. this was held to shakopee on january 1st, 2002. the euro was launched. one single currency which immediately facilitated the free movement of capital with the exception of britain, which didn't adopt the euro member states gave up the prerogative of controlling their own currency within the common market. no provisions were made for protecting member countries text systems. luckily, all will be n s n, okay, do something venue. the construction of the european union should have been accompanied by social and fiscal legislation that did not happen them. work was only done on trade regulations to combat state monopolies if will, and remove restrictions on the movement of goods vote no that at all was given to the impact this might have on corporate structures law. but if a company has a space thick in which it can move freely and can locate its production in a country where employees cost less. sure, and there are fewer social security contributions.
