report from the london. you know documentary library there shows no the trends we are stuck with now are trends that do not give us hope they are trends in which this is them works to make the rich richer and everybody else a spectator of their wealth and that's why many of us are realizing we really have to change the system if we're going to deal with one of its worst outcomes which is this level of poverty after hundreds of years of seeing that it's a problem that needs to be solved i want to keep an eye on it we appreciate folks like you speaking out will try to do our part here a boom bust professor richard walter resurrected nomics america's interest in massachusetts and earth were in your debt sir thanks kindly for your time thank you . and we mention the united nations report with the professor the report looks at poverty in the united states r t correspondent on your part and bill looks not only at the report but at some of the reactions

surrounding its recent release. for fifteen days in december two thousand and seventeen professor philip alston the un special rapporteur two are on extreme poverty and human rights travelled to the united states in order to quote evaluate and report to the human rights council on the extent to which the government's policies and programs aimed at addressing extreme poverty are consistent with its human rights obligations his findings paint a dire picture of life in the us the report states that a staggering forty million americans live in poverty eighteen point five million in extreme poverty and a whopping five point three million americans toil under third world conditions characterized as absolute poverty of the thirty five member states in the organization for economic cooperation and development the report finds the united states has the highest youth unemployment rate and highest infant mortality rate among comparable countries the us also has one of the lowest voter registration

levels in the o.e.c.d. the report reads quote its citizens live shorter and sicker lives compared to those living in all other ridged democracies are radical tropical diseases are increasingly prevalent and it has the world's highest incarceration rate and the highest obesity levels in the developed world professor alston's conclusions have drawn a harsh response from members of the trumpet ministration us ambassador to the un nikki haley wrote in a letter to senator bernie sanders of vermont quote it is patently ridiculous for the united nations to examine poverty in america the special repertoire wasted the un's time and resources deflecting attention from the world's worst human rights abusers and hostessing instead on the wealthiest and freest country in the world and haley may have a point about the united states being one of the wealthiest countries in the world it just so happens that the vast majority of the nation's wealth is hoarded by an ever shrinking elite in march of this year for example amazon c.e.o.

jeff bezos amassed an estimate. a net worth of one hundred twenty seven billion dollars and that amount is equal to the combined wealth of the two point three million poorest americans and november two thousand and seventeen a report by the institute for policy studies found the three richest americans bezos bill gates and warren buffett were worth two hundred forty eight billion dollars combined that number is equal to the wealth of one hundred sixty million americans who make up the bottom half of the country's population when measured in dollars following the report's release senator sanders in one thousand other members of congress sent a letter to the trumpet ministration urging him to address the growing poverty rates the letter says trump's one point five billion dollars in tax cut signed into law last year quote overwhelmingly benefited the wealthy and worsened inequality and while many headlines concerning the report emphasized the trump administration's role in exacerbating poverty professor alston makes this important

note successive administrations including the current one have determinately rejected the idea that economic and social rights are full fledged human rights meaning if you're poor in the united states your government has never seen you as a priority in washington on your part phil r.t. . time now for a super fast break but stay course because when we get back the c.e.o. of straw mark are from the zero report which tells us about the wealthiest nations not including the u.s. and the poorest nations around the globe plus r.t. correspondent trinity as does the picture i would for a for a special report on the wealthiest zip code and on the other end of the spectrum market for one of their own looks at the more on fortunately and analyzes poverty united states notably even here in the gilded capital that it can right here will

be back in one. camera. roughly once the show and some new play you for the. uncool videos during the world cup and someone with the broccoli string at. one down more on string i don't roughly don't t.v. . donald trump will soon visit europe as a very busy agenda and it's unclear what kind of reception people get topping his i ten or where he will be trade relations nato and russia never before has an american president been expected with so much apprehension. manufacture consent to the public will. when the ruling class is some

project themselves. the final merry go round the sun be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sit. in the. room. and now we take a more global view about inequality from a national perspective to help us along we are joined by the c.e.o. of marc our friend henry ford which it's great of you to be with us thank you so much now tell me tell or boom busters about what are the wealthiest nations and

sort of the poorest nations and let's just take g.d.p. by g.d.p. right a great to be about thank you so the wealthiest nations are outside of the u.s. that is china germany japan closely followed by the u.k. the poorest nation actually probably not many of our viewers have maybe even heard all about tuvalu which used to be former ellis island in the polynesian islands but the poorest nations are actually a lot of the former communist countries and sub-saharan africa and then good and then in the middle east the big bright star of course is saudi arabia ok and. if you look at growth rates in the different regions you know sure. how are they looking from the growth rates going forward yes some of the hot spots coming up actually there are some of the emerging nations and then there are just growth rates so one of the most outstanding growth rates that. to news and it's outpaced all nations actually it's australia and that's really due to their brilliant immigration policies to get into australia i mean you have to have

a certain network you have to come a certain skills they have not been stupid about that and most importantly they had a mining boom where they were mining coal and iron ore that they were shipping to all the factories in the nation so there's a great growth rate some of the emerging nations where there's immense growth are you've got the some of the. in the pacific basically all the countries right and you have argentina you have indonesia india india is projected to have a seven percent growth rate seven point nine next year yes and then actually you know you they overtook china by just like two percentage or two points that don't sort of percentage exactly as they did yes and it is in india and that's a lot of that and everybody of course in the u.k. we think for this because they can speak english but they've actually been a have a lot of those outsourcing call centers but a lot of global business they've always had a very global outlook on the fiscal stimulus has been as a also very smart but also as you jim o'neill the former chairman of morgan stanley in two thousand and one he used to call them the bric nations and that was brazil russia india china and sub-saharan africa i think some of the emerging nations in

sub-saharan africa is somewhat to look because of course there's a great percentage opportunity for growth and a lot of the the real commodities which are more in demand now it's very interesting we did some the other day on australia which hasn't been in recession you know twenty five years or so but the youngest of any developed nation so our history went out so even the netherlands crazy crazy us i guess is pretty difficult to predict what's going on given the current circumstance. but you know what sort of trends you see there in the desert leave it were you know i think of trade was on healthy but i think there's going to be an even ing out i think the one thing that's concerning globally in terms of inequality is the tremendous gap actually in skills skilled labor the good news is inequality actually is the lowest it's. one nine hundred eighty one pete forty four percent of the world was below the abject positive positive level in eighty one do you know it's less than ten percent today

so that's actually good news in terms of inequality but the inequality is within nations there's this technology gap between skilled labor and unskilled labor and that actually accounts for a lot of the nationalistic vote of populist vote like bricks it in the u.k. populism vote here in the u.s. do to try to trump and that's what's accounted for inequality inside of nations is actually more concerning than global inequality super interest to me ask you for a go the you know when you're when you're don't have a good economy it leads to all sorts of. including terrorism on roast and everything yes if you look around the world what are the real slow g.d.p. countries that we you know i haven't forbid predict any problems in those countries but what are the ones that sort of stick out to you well i mean obviously i mean we've had disaster in syria and that's been a lot of course because of the drought i'm so i think you could actually global warming trends have affected some of that and it's really obviously in the middle east where you have colliding factors i think robust employment begets robust

economies and therefore of course robust stability instability if you think about many years ago in the sixty's those instability in northern ireland why the economy was disastrous now the northern irish economy is strong and that keeps stability so i would think anywhere where there's abject poverty and that will be places in the middle east so you a strong work you are for which thank you for coming and your labor market absolutely anytime. one might ask where is the the definitively wealthiest place in the united states well our to correspondent treaty charges looked and went there for the special report that really hills nine zero two one zero zero used to be america's most recognizable zip code but that's all changing now america's richest code is based on an island word so exclusive you need an invitation to get there in

a recent analysis of iris data bloomberg found the wealthiest of codes in america and the number one spot may shock you. it's called fisher island zip code three three one zero nine once privately owned by william vanderbilt the second the island is located just off the coast of miami and is now a haven for the world's richest only accessible by boat or helicopter the two hundred sixteen acre manmade island has a mix of condos and private homes not to mention a vast array of amenities you come to fish island and you literally can stay here for three months without having to leave the island so we have about eighteen amenities from the arenas to seven restaurants to eighteen tennis courts four different surfaces on tennis courts a great golf club we have an amazing spar and as you have seen and the beautiful beach club environment so we have private beaches we have

a private school so this is an ideal environment for families who want to come here who want to raise their children there are about five hundred residents ranging from royalty to professional athletes to business executives and while only about twenty percent of them reside on the island full time. if the island's exclusivities that attracts people from all over the world we have about thirty seven different nationalities and fishes. we have about fifty percent u.s. twenty five percent is from south america we have a lot of russian. course so it's true that you can truly call home and it has pretty much all the ingredients that. reflect that if you want whose income bracket the average income for fisher island members was a whopping two want to half a million dollars in two thousand and fifteen that's one million dollars more than

the second place spot held by zip code nine four zero two seven in silicon valley meanwhile new york represents a quarter of the top one percent of households nationwide and california accounts for eighty five percent of the riches of codes in the west but while neighborhoods in the new york tri state area and california make up the majority of the top riches the codes in america the favorable tax structures in florida and wyoming are drawing the wealthy to according to the report since two thousand and ten the average income in most wilson road wyoming has increased more than seventy five percent making it the fourteenth which is the code in the country and then of course the south is home to the richest code in all of america fisher island now in order to live on fisher island and you do have to pay a membership fee of a quarter million dollars and nothing including the annual that comes after that but you don't have to be a millionaire to enjoy this luxurious place they do have a hotel on the property and they welcome everyone from around the world reporting from fisher island trinity each other.

while wealth inequality may be seen by some as a regional thing it's actually a nationwide issue even in some places you may not expect our to correspondent dan cohen gives us a closer look at wealth inequality in the district of columbia. the united states has long portrayed itself as a land of opportunity and upward mobility for all peoples but with scenes of homelessness and despair like this popping up all over the country it's an increasingly difficult claim to make income inequality in the united states is at its highest since one thousand nine hundred twenty eight just before the great depression the top one percent now owns a staggering forty percent of the country's wealth the poorest sip codes in the united states are in rural areas of pennsylvania oregon ohio and arizona they all

have an average income under fifteen thousand dollars per year while income inequality is visible across the united states its most extreme in the nation's capital washington d.c. the median annual income of black residents of the district is thirty seven thousand eight hundred ninety one dollars just thirty percent of the median white income at one hundred twenty seven thousand three hundred sixty nine dollars in the streets of the district it's obvious that there are huge amounts of wealth just across the anacostia river in the southeastern part of the district the disparity is glaring and twenty fifteen mayor muriel boughs are unveiled her plan to address income inequality and poverty with her pathway to the middle class program community activist skyla pondexter more lives in public housing in ward eight the poorest in the district she says bowzer is program has been a fig leaf for giveaways to private developers and corporations i believe that this

income gap in this is all that the way out she was doing it back just phasing us out i believe she thinks happy to have it just get rid of all of the income folks and take a bit of all of this and get the most of us by the law going to japan south of the city or have innocently gentrification has devastated d.c.'s african-american population in thousand one. in seventy one african-americans accounted for seventy one percent of washington's population struggling to cope with increasing costs of living and lack of employment opportunities twenty sixteen the percentage of african-americans in the district fell below fifty percent but moore says local investment can benefit the community if you give people the resources and help them wrap around then we can really start to close this gap and that wipes out we'll need to bring in people who get money we can be to people get money you've got to bring in a trader joe's going out with expensive housing and corporate chains like starbucks

under construction and mayor bows are likely to win reelection later this year the same policies that led to such inequality are likely to persist reporting for boom bust dan cowen r t. that's it for this time we appreciate you joining us on what's an incredibly important issue you catch boom bust on direct t.v. channel three twenty one dish network channel two eighty or streaming twenty four seven on pluto t.v. the t.v. after channel one thirty two or as always check us out at you tube dot com pleasure artie.

adding going to go through to deal with world cup quarter finals after beating colombia forty three and a dramatic end of game shootout. ah . england will now face sweden in the next round after the standard maybe in six saw off switzerland in their last sixteen clash in st petersburg sending their fans back home and a wild celebration. i

. broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our team international thomas certainly glad to have you with us now it has it been quite a night for england and colombia as the two. clashed in the last sixteen for their place in the quarter finals the game got off to a slow start but ended up in a one to one draw at the end of the regulation time finally the three lions got through beating their south american opponents four to three and a penalty shoot out their first ever world cup shootout victory. of the a. the a.

and. of. of humor the a of the and of. of her the a. of. the and the.

well i think the politics think of the game or both game every player well an amazingly complete is becoming like almost the victory of the cave for almost every game in the walk of the english players the colombian players they gave everything for one hundred twenty minutes they should be really exhausted after swallowing such and can not actually buy the emotional point of view because they can also enjoy being in the game the negative for me the fact i don't think you're going to be the lead here and i'm not just speaking about the english and and the call you can play or that. speaking about almost all of them by dana point of view the most important thing you know we compete in the quarterfinals than a great job and people. if you flop on the quality of

mean if you focus on the prominent band you are not. in reaching the east of the competition so playing in. the quarter finals and having for the finals there we. would say that england has a golden chance to be in the world cup fun england have made it through to the quarterfinals of the russia twenty eighteen world cup they did it the hard way they did it the way they don't usually succeeding on a penalty shootout as they defeated colombia four three the match it ended one one after full time in extra time peter schmeichel watched it not a great game but they all through england and that's all they will care about was what is the game at all it was one hundred twenty minutes very difficult moments to minutes to sit through. eglin got the lead a penalty again and is correctly given hurricane executed as he always does

he's now. the top score by two goals six he scored altogether on his way to win the golden boot i'm sure he will do that and then it was just completely it was a tie a watch after that and then could have gone off to second and third go they didn't they try to protect believe they had. and in ninety plus three so four minutes added on by new third of that. jordan takes it made an unbelievable save from a shot from about thirty metres which led to a corner kick and that corner kick was was kicked in just couldn't do with the with the yairi meaning in score to equalize. that lead and then we had thirty minutes of basically nothing in the were england hard done by all and not neither side really created much they looked like. only with a hard done by by the fact that they conceded at the last moment looked like they

were going to hang on for nothing to them to not really creating anything to go out of nothing game goes on to the references is that it's finished. and you know young old in experience experience you play to the last whistle and this is what england didn't do now they don't do it they did this so i have to win more than colombia did they were they were equally as awful it wasn't no one played well no individual performances yes harry maguire for me was excellent today but it wasn't like you throwing them a really really unlucky they did when in normal time big if if they invested more and tried more to create more chances after the. yes then maybe and it was there for the taking believe me because you have all the players england players or the manager for the fact that it's not just going to i just think i mean i know you know it can sow the sand house when when i when i say it like that but the stakes are so high the dose so i mean you look at who's gone through and who's gone out

what's left in this world cup and any of the teams that are through not any of the eighteen will fancy their chances this is an opportunity to win the world cup but i have to commend england that kept the hay heads cool that they did win this and in the penalty shoot out and it's only happened once in the modern time there's only ever happens on. all of the previous seven hundred fifty thousand major tournament at the end it is a problem that has been addressed by gareth southgate and his team according to the england manager they've been practicing penalty since march he said they've been studying penalties and that they've actually come up with a strategy we don't know what that was but they had a strategy for the penalty shootout and it worked what england it was fantastic but they all. so had a little bit of luck because jordan henderson missed the third penalty and then the fourth penalty for colombia hit the bar so it was sort of kind of not not something they did well but circumstances took in there and then the opportunity came to them

and that moment they took it and that was that was really really colombia where we were four effectively in in front they were three two ahead of to henderson so he said to say do so much riding on the rebate and he wasn't even saved it because paul that was where they lost the initiative but that's that's a very unfortunate moment for for colombia we can cross a with two legs are shifting now. and i ask him what's the atmosphere like now how are the colombian fans taking this defeat the colombians were literally you know over domain and in the stands i was sat in the colombian and old yellow red and blue saying throughout the whole match and i would say when united menas injury time goal went to it it's one of the most extraordinary experiences i've had at a football at a football game ever because the people actually went crazy around me obviously the beer fountains and you know everything that usually ensued this kind of celebration but now obviously twenty plus thousand odd. crowd of colombian fans will be going

home sad after this result after the english fans i could see them on the other side of the stadium i could see bits and you know an occasional three lions shark there here and there but. the support wasn't really that strong to be honest the numbers of english fans you have been really really low and the big hope now is maybe that now england is through to the quarter finals that maybe some morrow will see something of an invasion maybe at least ten thousand fans will come over for that game obviously the team gave them every reason to be happy about it but you know still before the game i spoke to some of the english fans some of them even i saw them. six years ago in kiev and here is what they had to tell me about their aspirations for the world cup so he said coming home. is that god. is it coming home. oh yes or no.

so is it coming home will definitely find out in some are when england face to sweden in the quarter finals late hours in moscow and very tired yet very joyful english players spoke to the press in the make zone i managed to ask a question to one of the heroes of the game against colombia jordan pickford but equally about his phenomenal fingertips safe which is now rocking the internet station one who don't think it will become clearer no it was thought this was moments of life before although it was obvious who the servant will punish is obvious it's of opening in the moment thing of never heard of me in football for we managed to speak to several other english players and old.
