something the hardware and software brain change of scale. so get ready for the brain update to the answer to almost everything starts january 15th on d w. ah ah ah, this is david hughes live from berlin us lawmakers released donald trump's tax returns. the documents give details of the former president's financial affairs. he fought for years to keep them secret. our washington correspondent assess is how damaging the information could be. also on the program. vladimir puberty seeks

closer military ties with china. the russian presidents overture gets a guarded welcome to beijing is efficiently neutral over the war. you quite answer 5 in the winter. the cold months can be brutal for the homeless. and danny, we follow one charity organization, throwing a lifeline to people on the streets. ah, i'm pablo for lily us. welcome to the program. a u. s. house committee has released 6 years of donald trump's tax returns, the former president ford for years to keep them secret. last week, the democratic controlled house ways and means committee voted to release trumps tax tax records from 2015 to 20. 20. they're likely to provide new revelations

about his finances. trump was the 1st presidential candidate in decades who refused to release his tax records. and this all comes with republicans at bay to take control of the house of representatives. well, dw corresponded to me so much candle is in washington dc. and she told us earlier about the new information revealed in the documents. so public, we've learned important details about how much the former president did and did not pay in taxes. we learned more about how much he donated over the years. we learned about some of his foreign holdings and also how some of his businesses performed. and for example, we knew already that he didn't pay any federal income tax and the year 2020. that's because his businesses took some big hits because of a pandemic. but what is interesting to see is that the amount of federal income tax that he paid varied a lot from year to year, so i can throw some numbers out at you. so for example, he paid just $750.00,

a federal income tax in the year 2017, a year later, nearly $1000000.00 and a year after that $133000.00. so a big difference there, as you can see, and these documents really reveal that trump used deductions, he took losses in his businesses and that reduced the amount of tax id he owed significantly and asked for donations. the charitable contributions that i mentioned that also fluctuated quite a bit. so he reported donating newly $2000000.20 and then nothing in 2020. and one more point that was really interesting. pablo, it was, it was interesting to see that he held financial accounts in foreign countries, including china, to the 1st year of his presidency. so a lot of people here in washington asking questions about that. there are plenty of questions i'm sure that are going to be asked in the coming days to me. one of the reactions there been to the release tax documents. well, it won't surprise you pablo, that the reaction to fall in the long partisan line. so, democrats have long said that this is important for transparency. and when one of

the democrats in the committee that published these returns, said on friday that these documents show that trumpet something to hide, that he used questionable deductions and tax avoidance schemes to get out of paying federal income tax republicans. on the other hand of said, this is private business, this does not need to be made public and they are now warning revenge. so they're threatening to make public tax returns of private citizens. the supreme court justices, business leaders, political enemies as they call them. and you mentioned already that republicans will have a majority in the house of representatives starting next week. i do want to mention what trump himself is sad. he says that these returns show how successful he's been . and that he was able to use tax deductions to create jobs. so to wrap that up, i mean there is no law requiring presidents to publish their tax returns, but tradition a has called for them to do so. president joe biden released his returns dating back 22 years when he was running for office. but trump, they're breaking with tradition. to me,

tell us this. could these documents cause an issue for donald trump on his run for president in $22004.00? it doesn't appear that they will. i mean, observers here seem to get that these documents do not indicate any sort of legal wrong doing. and present, trump supporters have stood squarely behind him through state and federal investigations and controversies. so these tax returns are not likely to shake that core group of supporters and for moderate democrats. this is for them proof that the former president has lied once again. so although it's important to have these documents on record, especially if we know that he's running again in 2024, it is not likely to move the needle much if at all public interesting stuff. thanks to me, dwi it to me so much condo in washington dc manufacture vladimir putin has cold for closer military cooperation with china. the russian president was speaking during a video summit with the chinese leaders using ping, though beijing has not condemn the war in ukraine. it also hasn't given russia any

direct support moscow's latest air strikes of left to much of ukraine with our power. laser missouri a little better with it. more attacks from russia on ukrainian cities round off to round of drawings and cruise missiles. even though ukraine's hair defenses are largely holding up falling debris from the intercepted rockets still causes significant damage. as this woman and keith looks on in her children's bedroom glass everywhere. vladimir putin held talks with his chinese counterpart. the video coal happened to take place on the $100.00 the anniversary of the founding of the soviet union. its demise is something putin bitterly regrets. together he and shouting, ping want to stand up to pressure from the waist. and putin, at least once closer, military cooperation with beijing were a special place in russian chinese relations is occupied by military and technical cooperation. this contributes to the security of our countries. we aim to

strengthen co operation between the armed forces of russia and china get in a difficult international situation. we are ready to build up strategic cooperation with russia. provide each other with development opportunities and be global partners for the benefit of our peoples. china's official stance on putin's war is being quite objective and fair. she told pierson that position isn't changing and that the road to pace would not be smooth. putin cold, she his dea, a friend with and invited him to moscow early next year. you was or very me or earlier, didn't over here spoke to valeria, check her over who runs the austrian institute for european and security policy. and we asked if china was just as keen as russia for closer ties. it seems so, though we don't know exactly the scope and scale of dar military technology cur

corporation between these 2 states. a lot hasn't been revealed yet. so we have heard about the intentions about their plans, a lot of military exercises ah, man has been conducted and even during arrest us war against ukraine. a. but these sir domain is obviously the one that's going to be exploited and explored in the years to come. obviously, russia has become completely dependent on china to bypass to western sanctions. some even describe it as a vessel of china or a junior partner. but china also needs to support russia in this critical critical phase alpha risk swore because it has to avoid that anew. as security vacuum could emerge in the north of its borders next to the military

tensions, wheat, india along the line of actual control. as well as the military escalation, the straight to for a cow. and so it's not an altruistic relationship. it's a really based on reale politic national interests. and i anticipate that the military corporation will a further deepen and increase. let's take a look at some more stories making headlines around the world. france and the u. k . have joined a growing list of countries imposing coven 19 tests on travelers from china. beijing has just reopened orders after nearly 3 years of restrictions, despite surgeon karone of ours cases. the world health organization is urging china to share more covert data with the international community. police in the us state of pennsylvania have arrested a suspecting, be killing a for university of idaho students. last month they were found stop to death in their beds and were likely asleep when attacked. the 28 year old suspect has been
