thousand. feet he was he was he was a few he was but we knew it was going to be tough and think we control defensive you know we are really strong and. the quality of our players they made a difference so we were really happy with the game. we have to be proud of the things we did well we had a great game against germany with korea we dominated the ball all the time today was difficult but we have to learn from our experiences and you can't always get

what you want but if you try sometimes you get what you need they wanted five or six goals the cut of had almost up on the pitch they came away with the team and went into the quarterfinals for the seventh straight time and that was a little bit of the frock it's going on the brazilian fans were celebrating lightly the mexican funds took a little braids to this started throwing their drinks at them not led to some of the students coming up asking everyone to come dine and what did i witness at the end of the game just as i was running out of this life decision i turned around and there were the mexican founds with their son barrows the same ones who'd been throwing drinks hugging and kissing their brazilian fans the same ones even though they had just lost the game and that's really indicative of what i've seen here and some are over the weekend yellow and green coming together anything that can be drum can be bind like a trump was being done so over the last number of days and it is

a lot an american party my god was it was you i. asked my name was the best soccer players off towards actually more better and better than messi. whom and all whom. i was very happy today because we are. very good you know and this game of the show how they can win. going through and the defense in trying to score a name same was amazing to the. moon all over. has been sitting in your shop we love it we love it and ought to but not just russia but through shame people russian people i love that we are

so friendly i are one day of the most friendly and best people in the whole your words we love the russian people we brezec a lot of it we are now we are brothers i help i hope they make it all the way to the final i presume russia final. burst shelters do it is five russian that i. have to say we just had some sirens and police cars racing bike i suspect they're on the way to a rest name for some criminal play acting in this much oh my god name was even given man of the match my fever and the thing is we need to have fee for looking at this the way he behaved in this game is never confines any other way than this phrase for it really really annoys everyone who loves football and he looked like he was seriously on his way out of his life he was dying i thought but he was the next thing that would happen was he was going to be put on a stretcher put in an ambulance and we wouldn't see name again that that's the kind

of play acting we're seeing at the moment we now must try and get rid of this play acting because we don't want that and the one thing that really annoys me here with this is that name checks so much attention so that means that all the kids in this world everybody thinks they might is a great player they see this i went and i go and watch i have to an eight and ten eleven year old in my house i go and watch some play and you know what that's how they do every time they fall file they look like and it's not on this is not what we want in football if i had a name i would honestly throw it in the bin after watching that game tonight and i think we saw the good the bad and definitely the ugly elf name of jesus and let's have a look and see how that name line behaves on this one and you know. there . see i tell you this that's nothing wrong with him the referees don't want to know about it he goes in on the pitch are afraid to play on and forth to work you know

neymar stood up walked on the pitch. it's not our own to see any of the other guys doing it no we don't. think this is going to start well i would be sending yourself quite a reputation even amongst the public now because we were talking about his play i think prior to this match we even put it to some of the fans to reproduce sort of name facial expressions and writhing in apparent i getting this is what they made of but if you're faced i can. try. but. it's it. along. here all albuquerque but i promise.

it is going to do this. hard to talk to russian cause i'm not all a good come on yankel who told us about his unique hobby taking pictures of world cup host cities. but when it was my third expedition i became

interested in photography at night think it was not my initial plan to make pictures of all the host cities but that's what happened there are fantastic views from space when we are travelling at velocity of around eight kilometers per second it's not easy to get a good picture of what was the we are practicing and learning how to use the equipment because that's why many cosmonauts are good at photography but. the last world cup we had alexandra maxime said i and read vice mayor we had bets on whether germany would win you know she thought we wouldn't have to shave their heads said ivan vice mint did it when we play football on board we always try to be careful about and keep the equipment safe that technology is really expensive so we try to play with as much accuracy as possible with.

all right switching gears to some other news now german chancellor angela merkel has narrowly managed to patch things up with her partners in a three month old coalition government which seemed close to collapse of the country's interior ministry key member of the coalition says that a compromise has been reached and that he will not resign here is our policy with more. i am glad that this agreement has succeeded once again it has proven to be worth fighting for convictions as. well the country's interior minister who is also the leader of the christian social union mr horst c. hoffa has announced that he will remain in office and this follows a compromise agreement over the whole migrant issue being reached they were intensive talks over the weekend between mr c. hoffa's party and that of the german chancellor angela merkel and they continued until late monday evening but as i say the announcement coming that some kind of compromise has been reached now there are various aspects on the one hand there

will be a new border winching that will be set up along of germany austria border any migrants who are picked up there but who have been registered in the e.u. country will be sent directly back to their countries the german chancellor also suggesting that transit center has be established if you are going in or out transit centers in germany and we will depart migrants to the contras they come from the agreement of those contrasts. now mr c. has also said that this is to quote a clear and doable agreement over the future and the borders between germany and austria the two leaders have been at loggerheads for quite some time over the whole migron crisis. was it's you're sure that we have the right to immediately send migrants back from the border but that's all that's not open either we find a solution so that you never can be your own people feel that we are guided by the values and that we advocate multilateralism and not you know later alyssum or no

one will believe in our values which have made us through a straw man now two weeks ago mr c. hoffa issued with an ultimatum that expired this past sunday the first of july and the challenge was to find a european solution to the my current crisis the german chancellor obviously believes she had the following a e.u. summit that took place on thursday and friday in brussels. transpires that miss to see things quite differently on sunday with him is that he was for me to resign all that that now seems to be a verse that there has also been some criticism over this new compromised agreement that it is some kind of weird construct and it's not clear how it will work there is also concerns over the bigger picture the coalition government just how strong is it and will it survive an agreement like this that could ultimately prove just to be a temporary one george. c. researcher fellow at the global policy institute of london believes the agreement

is just a temporary fix that will not last long. merkle this jesting is that these migrants are going to be sent back to the countries where they first registered as asylum seekers well who's going to take them back greece isn't going to take them back greece is already just simply overwhelmed by the problem internally has already said that they're not going to take them and i mean this new government is absolutely adamant that they're not going to take in. spain is very unhappy about the. problems it's also very unhappy about that so it's very unlikely that this is going to work so i think this is just simply a temporary stopgap measure and the issue will come up again probably in the next few months what's really interesting is the. the view of the c.s.u. which is their hope but because they are very concerned about. the rise of the.

party of the the of those who are right wing anti immigrant party because they are the coming force in germany and whatever goes on within the government is will will be with a view to hand off this potential crisis that they're going to get electoral crisis that they're facing at the hands of the the a.f.d. . mexico has witnessed a tectonic shift in its political landscape with a left wing outsider claiming victory in sunday's presidential election artie's but i've got to have a look at the man who is said to take power and examines how his tenure could exacerbate tensions with the u.s. . andray manual lopez obrador or i'm low for short the new and somewhat colorful president of mexico a real underdog whose party more and ended almost

a century of rule by two of mexico's dominant political parties. and as is fashionable these days often justifiably i'm no exactly a fan of trump i have to convince and persuade those americans who are manipulated by don't trump a campaign of united states first or america first that's a fallacy it's nonsense. we have a respectful relationship with american governments but we're not subordinate to the mexican people have been insulted and put into question i'll not allow that to come to. the role this president and offended the mexicans that our position was to reject the hate policy promoted by trump and his counselors when i say not of i mean he really doesn't like trump even wrote a book about it called trump or listen trump of course you can't have a proper election days without a little of the old russian meddling or at least someone complaining about it

actually initial signs of it and the mexican. presidential campaign already has an aspect where we want to confront your behavior was with russia you know that russia . you know number walking around the world. from mexico. even in mexico to his credit. found that really funny. but on the i'm just here watching the weather waiting for the russian submarine to come with my people and with gold from moscow his supporters even made a jacket for him with the word manual of each written on it get it. angry manual manual a bitch sounds kind of russian to his credit he wouldn't wore it because be it his dislike of trump his sense of humor or whatever else he swept this election

preliminary results he got more than half the vote is rivals eating the dust. let's recover our agreed as one of the mother cultures of the world it's not that we are setting a precedent in history. there's a greed energy out there you can feel it it's great. to be fair he's had some practice it is third attempt at the presidency bit of a sore loser too when he lost the election in two thousand and six he staged a fake inauguration party for himself never mind that good practice for the real thing congratulations mr man you elevate should lead to mere putin sent his regards . we asked a social theorist to undress a bear knol to tell us what distinguishes the new mexican president from his predecessors. in previous administrations there was simply

a consensus that moral lesson aligned with the rest of the establishment in the western world this consensus was centered around a kind of. what's often called the neo liberal economic policy model which relied on. the liberalization of the of the of the economy the liberalization of latin american economies for foreign investment to come in however this foreign investment is very much centered on. the benefit of the superpowers like the united states and other countries and keeping the mexican economy and in a state of dependency as i just mentioned and so this this consensus this this economic model is very much led by kind of a team of technocrats that have been at the helm of mexico and most latin american countries now for four maybe three four decades and this is this is clearly a move away from that and now what happens from this i think that's yet to be seen

let's hope that it can begin to move in a direction that is actually against corruption. head of the upcoming summit between donald trump and vladimir putin russia's ambassador to the u.s. . has given us an exclusive interview you can watch it on july fourth on our team america but here is a preview. as a. very senior diplomat and a very experienced diplomat do you believe these two leaders will get along and what signals will you be looking for in their interaction to suggest that's indeed what happened frankly i'm a little disappointed that you have decided to raise the issue so the furthest in our interview we're sure that you will congratulate me with the used to when the old car goes with i would see you for the most important event and you know it used to. more school will flood it. off.

the was an opportunity for us to meet to your team but they hope that in twenty two into six there will be such opportunities because the next. world cup in twenty twenty six will be in washington and then but seriously as to the fourth or fourth coming. to president of course it's a very important to a meeting between the two leaders everybody has been awaiting for these event. we were relations good shape for me it was clear that the would be just only opportunity for our world lead us to look at all easy shoeless all the returns between two. together to look at each other and to start talking as i'm sure you know part of

the evidence the office of the director of national intelligence here in the united states presented to make the case for russia's meddling with to point a finger at this network r e t in se because of the issues we cover here as journalists where in fact working on behalf of the russian government what do you think about that. i remember my into you two american journalists when i just arrived and you'll see that they raised a lot of questions in this regard but to my regret to what i saw there were just two questions to my answers first. mr onto one of your nor that you interfered into. america or election i said no there is no process missed out of your nor the mystical it. is a spy that's all you'll see that what are heard from my distinguished american journalists how does not you feel i mean to hand you in journalist tell me that

your predecessor by you'll see that very much disappointed that my distinguished american cortex at that time didn't interest at all what should we do together how to improve russian american relations. more news in thirty minutes this is r t international. this is boom bust broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. i'm part shelton thanks for joining us up on the program today for this broadcast we do something a little different and that we're going to focus the entirety of the show on axis to help us out will be joined by the renowned professor of economics of merit is at

the university of matches massachusetts richard wool plus the c.e.o. of straw mark hillary for which looks at the highest and lowest tax rates around the globe and we have a special panel to discuss and i bet they the new u.s. tax law and where it is right now plus alex mann hyla bitch will tell us about one provision of the new tax law that may impact life love and even finances all that ahead on our tax theme program so let's bungle in the jungle and start with some. speaking of texas corporate stock buybacks hit an all time record of one hundred seventy eight billion dollars in the first quarter of the year the u.s. tax reform law approved late last year cut the corporate tax rate from thirty five percent to twenty twenty one percent and has been a boon for businesses and has helped boost the overall economy but most of the benefits have been used for companies to buy back stock as opposed to what proponents of the tax changes argued would be

a benefit that would trickle down to workers and average families some are now wondering if they have been trickled upon with the release of several studies studies showing that tax cut benefits are going predominantly to stock shareholders a boom. organelle assist a term in that roughly sixty percent of the tax cut benefits will go to shareholders whereas employees will only receive five percent another such study by morgan stanley estimated that forty three percent of tax cut savings will go to stock buybacks and dividends and just thirteen percent to employees by way of pay raises bonuses or employee benefits. and harley davidson has announced that they are shutting down their factory in kansas city which employs eight hundred workers some of the jobs will be transferred to a facility in new york pennsylvania harley davidson is also expanding operations to highland some say the move is due to u.s. markets which is contract in recent years harley davidson has their sales have

dropped by eight and a half percent sales abroad have dropped by three point nine percent the announcement of the plant closure came just days after harley davidson said they too would provide shareholder dividend increases the iconic motorcycle company was touted by both president trump and speaker of the house paul ryan as examples of businesses which would be big beneficiaries from the tax cut law and this is it appears that the benefits from the new law are being used to outsource jobs and pay shareholders in a contract in market. or not to tax was once upon a time undoubtedly the question but as a civil society we've want to go past the point of if there will be taxes the question by most policymakers is who or what will be taxed and how much and here to provide his seasoned and professional perspective we are joined and honored to be

joined by richard wolffe a professor emeritus in economics at the university of medicine fears that and her professor thank you again for being with us i'm very grateful for your time is there a perfect tax a tax that is really fair and provides good for all the people. i doubt it and i think that taxes have been with us for a long time and that they are basically a way that we hold ourselves together as communities. cox's our recognition that some things are better done if we pool our resources together and if we go you know individually let me just give you the simplest examples if we want to have a lovely wooded area in our community to have picnics to go with our children we could each strider somehow i maintain a plot of wooded land but the absurdity of the expense is silly and so we get

together pooling our resources so that we can have a central park in the middle of your or a prospect park in brooklyn or a golden gate park in san francisco that we can all enjoy and so we all kick in a little bit of money far far less than if we didn't fire ourselves in order to have a collective resource we couldn't otherwise really afford at least many of us couldn't most of us at the same then. clive's the roads and highways an arborist and national defense and a whole lot of other things so that once you explain to people what the taxes are out basically building the institutions that serve us as a community of people they understand the logic of it and even when the paying full bill comes to pay it and the struggles begin about who should pay what only should

of it that's when things get dicey and in their upset about not wanting to pay some groups begin to question the whole notion of the tax itself but as i say that's a kind of point of view that does not bear any serious investigation. what do you think professor are sort of let's accept that there were going to be taxed at the question of who are water how much what or what are you in your view are you looking around the world and look at the neck not economic for your whole career what are the most unfair types of taxes and where in the world do they exist today . well for me from my perspective one of the things a tax can do besides providing us collectively important resources like parks like highways like schools and all the rest of that one of the other things

a tax could give is go somewhere toward alleviating aspects of our economic system that are no good in other words we can fix the broken aspects of our economy by the means of taxes and for me one of the most importance in holding any community together is to avoid extreme has a wealth on the one hand coupled with extremes of poverty on the other so for me one of the extra benefits of a tax is that it can do something to lessen the inequality of a society so for me the most unfair tax is that tax that not only doesn't lessen inequality but actually makes it worse and let me give you an example here in the united states and we're not the only country of course that does this we

rely on many many of our states on something called a sales tax that's for example taxing a shirt you might buy in a department store by adding five percent to whatever the price of the sugar is when you do that you charge exactly the same amount of money but say it's a one hundred dollars shirt so then it's five percent that would be a five dollar tax you're charging the same five dollar tax to a person who has a very low income as you would to a rockefeller are on jeffrey b.'s ost who with who counts his wealth in the billions i think that's. unfair that's a situation in which a broken part of b. economy that lends some people have more money than they know what to do with while other people don't have enough food or shelter ok and pay their kids' way to college etc this isn't an unfair tax which by the way was recognized

here in the united states one hundred years ago when we began the income tax and we structured it as what we call eight progress of tax and what that simply means there's the higher your income the larger the percentage of it you are required to pay in tax because you can no forty more you are asked to kick in more and the logic of that is again to use the tax system to offset any qualities that if you don't offset them will destroy your community create tension within it and eventually blow it up. we've just got about sixty seconds but i want to try to squeeze in one more question so when you talk about wealth inequality and then various tax provisions like in the the recent tax reform law that was passed some would argue that well the wealthy are going to you know make

all these profits and they will therefore buy a lot of shirts or buy a lot of gasoline and then the people that make the shirt for help to get the ghastly they will ultimately trickle down to them how that's how is that working out so far professor that's not work at all because it was never true it was just a rationalization invented by rich people so that they could continue to get a disproportionate amount of wealth by telling us that if you do that it will trickle down to you because they will buy more the thing about rich people is they are already couldn't sue me more than most of the rest of us can't imagine and by giving even more money than them you're not going to get them to consume or you're going to get them to make a lavish investments in all the parts of the world you're going to get them to invest in harebrained schemes a bit coy and or god knows what ever speculation that's what we've seen the tax cut

the end of december.
