yeah i remember that tie in once said it was a game with david back in school that famous free kick and later on in the tournament famously went out with that red card against argentina and that kind of defined him for a few years and then he managed to win the fans back so there's a lot of history to this tie i think england will look at the way everything shaping up the fact that spain are out of the tournament the fact that the so-called easy side of the draw of course you see in this tournament there is no easy side there are shops everywhere but this is england's best opportunity really to at least make the semifinals of the world cup for the first time since one thousand nine hundred so if they don't take this opportunity when they return home i think there will be a lot of disappointment amongst the founds in the media so they'll be under pressure today and well you mentioned pressure in a way also the pressure you could argue is off isn't it because you know the goldmans right generation back and. cetera they were slated from the foreman was never reach their full potential always being underachievers this is such a young team so many youngsters in the squad in

a way the brushes off them when they're given free rein to just release their energy release them and see how far they've gone so far that's kind of quite often and i would argue the pressure was off until germany got knocked out because i think most people thought it would get through to the finals they would come up against germany and they probably do and from that point on you know they can say they did well but now the way it's shaping up they'll actually look at it and say you know what we fancy our chances but what you're saying with the golden generation is very true they've been also reports that generation were very divided so the mind united players didn't speak to the liverpool players didn't speak to the chelsea players this team's young seems to be more unity in the squad god's self it seems to manage to bring them together so i think everything points in a positive direction for them if not for this world cup then at least for the future for them something to build on for the future one moment back going back in history to the colombian games that many will remember is that famous school pin take from them and keep out any sort of funny drawl. went viral didn't get off

without a little bit hoping that can get the match they can get the much wrapped up in ninety minutes or at least before the end of extra time they don't have the best plan to shoot that record be that of world cup but i'm a bit of a consistent bogeyman isn't it when i think as well the penalty situation is psychological to an extent i think england and their players and their fans have grown up with many penalty losses from the years of course the famous one in one thousand nine hundred losing to germany at euro ninety six that must play in the players' minds and they have to be if they have any penalty kicks in this tournament they just put the past out of their minds remember that when you play is this and you told him and tried to build a new history for him that you know the penalty kick hasn't been great i start for a new look at me and this will likely be without their hero from four years ago today james rodriguez he's got an injury and they'll assess him just before the game to see who's going to start the one thing going in their favor though is england of only won twice against latin america opposition in the knockout round seven meetings in total for moscow goals but they could see one all of course want

to forget that it will be in a free kick for for brazil a drifted forty odd yards over centuries descending now in two thousand and two of course but anything can happen called it i think we've seen from russia knocking out spain that anything can happen we've seen from germany going out in the group stages that anything can happen which is why i look at the way the draw is built up and it's not easy for england of course but they're never going to get an option it's like this and they really have to focus and grab everything by the scruff of the neck one of them by the scruff of the neck and really show their intent to at least get to the last ball now look at colombia they'll be looking at it and saying well actually we fancy our chances yet there with out how miserably goes but they do have some decent players they've got of course the also goalkeeper used to having a good tournament so they'll also quietly i think be confident of their chances today yeah well meanwhile let's take a look at this blast of past talk about david beckham earlier thirty years ago this is a picture of a young harry came the current. england captain the star of the hottest property in

the world cup you can see in that alongside none other than david beckham who was captain of winning back then and that the time of course that was the launch of beckons for the economy for talented youngsters harry's now set to marry that girl in the picture as well as he was a player. in that academy so very much there a happy ending for that couple. for now ahead of the world cup in russia some british media outlets published some a lot of missed obstacles about the potential dangers that fans could face here in the host country now after the poisoning of russian double agents and his daughter in the u.k. the prime minister to resign they said that no one piece all members of the royal family would attend the championship but we caught up with something them fans and moscow as they played a friendly game against a rival russian team and i asked them how they've been finding the tournament. oh yes. oh oh oh. oh oh oh you.

know i came to russia wearing a spot because i was told by would persist media much of the british media. so i didn't know what to expect everything's been fantastic the border guards spoke in english they've been smiling people in the street will be polite i think we certainly under-representation i think a lot of our friends and family with laughter heads with us going and they think we have a good time but the site was the message no media in the u.k. said you're going to get killed if you came to russia basically you. know he was going to look for anything. you think that may be harry and marshall and. we should have had i think if anyone comes it probably will be prince harry or maybe harry i know harry harry is a big england. maybe i'm not sure if my going to vote for you. maybe american

football. which in your opinion is football well was it born who invented in england. let's say the images of it saying we can see football so to speak spicing things. you've got to say but don't take my word for it but he felt kind of begs to differ with that because they're actually believe that if we're the chinese played the first game of football. that maybe maybe sell yes i thought it was the romans yes by. the way i don't believe so not all saying london is coming home saying list of . football's coming home the catch phrase of the day is. now out of the colombian some sixty five thousand supporters are here in russia a small army to cheer on their team so far their vocal support does seem to be

working and today a good number of them have converged on moscow's fan filled needs no introduction when the street the unofficial party that destination ahead of that clash with england. i'm. ok. i. now see spoke to two former colombia captains mario yep as the call of the calls valderrama on their team's chances against england. but i mean we put them in colombia did something really amazing i don't know of any other cases or a team had lost their first match and still finish top of the group it's on president said what they did but they did it and taking into consideration colombia's comeback there's hope that they can make it to the quarterfinals like they did in brazil just get out of here when i left the new process we can force.

sixteen years colombia couldn't qualify for the world cup something was wrong all the time or even new blood came out and mario was that way when he started gaining experience like become playing in the international arena in argentina from. when he came there to experience life and passed on to his teammates the hardest part is now behind us we have to win two matches and that's what we do know we're going to school to win against england all right let's cheer for commonwealth put up at pitt oh yeah. now there is one in particular was always in a flat in colombia take to the pitch. there has been a breath but i'll be sad to see the. kids be supporting the team on a week now we see it's like being a part of colombia now we can only really show actually does this come up for us.

and you know he's not the only but he still has the energy doesn't that's the you see. the whole i. want to see me in the a.b.m. footy field. but up road ahead of me there's a pretty old equation meant that you will make longer continue unless i last being good and you know we had a bottle. that maybe i miss our president as a lot of the you know. that medal for the abolition it lucy i think that it come with a very mean look out there that i listen to you. all of the public. but i'm here to say but i think our goal for me and what i hear from a funny focus almost meet me face to me that the sense that. god allah. when you go to

the. finish you. know soon as the kids play he'll. be picked. up. if one. day on this cool. kid. good thing dylan going to make what i see on the list doesn't go well you look. good on one of those those of us almost see it was this album most did. these things in within the club and. now for the

million fans who for the football the smartphones have been working overtime taking pictures and videos and collecting those memories of the bench we've been scouring through to compile some of the best so check out all fans all of you section called . her. book the. cuckoo. the. gut. cut it. out.

ok we're about twenty minutes late into the switzerland sweden game crunch time as the school is so far a goal this week putting the swiss under a bit of pressure to play but stressing foldable still going to slow despite a couple of openings as well how to best a fool's falling through i'll be in exile all sweden full of the full strength of the ball at the top of the all that bring you the latest in the second hall to join us again the.

same wrong. rules just don't hold. me. yet to shape our. becomes active. and engaged because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. what politicians do. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. it's a going to be for us this is what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm

interested always in the walk. again from the outside new center moscow i'm calling with our other headline stories and donald trump's enjoying a little popularity boost right now a recent poll suggests that his approval rating rose two points last month to forty seven percent perhaps surprisingly support for the u.s. president seems to be from among hispanic voters kind of open explains. the month of june wasn't too good for the white house and the court of public opinion lots of media raked over the coals for the treatment of migrant families along the u.s. border now in the denunciation of the donald latino americans took center stage we saw the president just a few moments ago on twitter tweeting again that this was the democrats' fault and

not acknowledging at all that he has the ability to stop it with perhaps just a phone call it's not right it's immoral it's inhumane and we need to stop that and we've known since donald trump came down those stairs calling mexicans rapists and criminals we've known that we as american citizens would be on watch but according to a harvard harris poll thirty five percent of americans who identify as hispanic either approve or somewhat approve of the trumpet ministrations policies now that survey was conducted after trump signed an executive order ending the separation of illegal migrant families back in may those numbers are only twenty five percent in a single executive order to really explain a spike in approval this time now fifty seven percent of hispanic americans according to another poll approve of donald trump's economic policies we decided to speak to some folks in the local latino community to see if they can explain these poll numbers have no explanation and definitely not my kind of people. because

the people. at least listen to dylan trump and i believe what he says it makes no sense at all because it's mostly hispanic that the border that are being denied entry with their children so i can't speak for them do you think maybe there's other issues that are important to them i think that they're probably unaware of exactly what's going on as most of us are what would be some reason that that people in hispanic communities would support trump i mean what possible reason could there be i guess i mean he's smart financially with much trouble his reaction perhaps specific to this is what's to say you know that they do want to connect the town ways again and they want to make a civilized process that. yes there is a lot of pros and cons but still overall he wants to make america great again now the media is very good at telling us how we should be feeling however a more nuanced look at the data can sometimes throw up some surprising results it

would happen r. t. new york. at least forty secondary schools across england have banned pupils from wearing skirts some of deem them unacceptable putting them on the same list as facial piercings more are now reportedly considering switching to more gender neutral uniform for swimming pools will have to wear plain trousers just like the boys do and it seems the reasons are differing depending on school to school here is some of the ideas that are coming out some of just hoping to implement a more gender neutral policy across the board sort of but is treated the same but others hope to make life easier for the small but increasing number of transgender students one school though is citing fears over the sexualization of young women. this illustrates the length we want a lot of the students are wearing skirts to show i'm not is why we are moving towards just for girls in september when everyone's accepted the new policies though one parent we spoke to was furious that the school didn't ask the parents'

opinions before making changes to the uniform i was very shell there was no colorful. way that made parents so. no reason get the well so. i can speak on the bell and. have like and i know the children will want to know why i chose all time they should be given the choice to take away the choice is wrong. well petitions been launched against the uniform changes of that particular school arguing that there's nothing offensive about girls needs a dime because he again thinks that children should be free to choose whatever uniform they want to wear. if boys want to dress go and go thoughts of just like boys was five so what is wrong with girls just like. eight.

says that school has been go a bill of war. quite a lot going on at the moment about changing different rules for times can chill and i go well let's bear in mind that they are a minority and not the majority say we can't piece every thought it all of the time like. right that ship global news for this hour daniel in a sort of back in support has been half an hour from now in the second half of that sweden switzerland encounter gets going right now fifty minutes after the first half it's still goalless in some pictures but for now from a cold and enjoy the rest of it you say.

this is boom bust broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. i'm part 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 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 start. studies showing that tax cut benefits are going predominantly to stock shareholders a bloomberg analysis determined 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 an honor to be joined by richard wolffe a professor emeritus on economics at the university of metal fears that she and her professor thank you again for being with us i'm very grateful for your time chiz there in perfect tax a tax that is really fair and provides good for all the people. i doubt it 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 poorly 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 we did it by ourselves in order to have a collective resource we couldn't otherwise really afford at least many of us couldn't most of us and the same. applies to 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 do 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 time x.

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 one hundred dollars sure 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 or jeffrey beatty zos 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 is a 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 job it you are required to pay in tax because you can no forty more you are asked to give more and the logic of that is again to use the tax system took offset inequalities 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 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 consuming more than most of the rest of us can't imagine and by getting 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 to do it best in harebrained schemes a bit coin or god knows whatever speculation that's what we've seen the tax cut the end of december for example gave more wealth to big companies or using it to distribute to their shareholders they're not hiring workers the way they promised they would they're not giving a higher wages the way they promised those promises are made to get the money into their hands and then they're just as quickly forgot professor emeritus in economics at the university of massachusetts richard wall we're always smarter after you have joined us our thanks thank you very much glad to do. some companies try.
