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 who can sing 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 estimated 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 reports released senator sanders in one thousand other members of congress sent a letter to the trumpet ministration urging it to address the growing poverty rates the letter says trump's one point five billion dollars in tax cuts signed into law . last year quote overwhelmingly benefited the wealthy and worsened and equality

and while many headlines concerning the report emphasize 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 hill party. time now for a super fast break but stay close because when we get back to see you up stroll 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 arctic correspondent trinity as does the picture i would forget for a special report on the wealthiest zip code and on the other end of the spectrum

archie correspondent dan cohen looks at them more on fortunate and analyzes poverty united states notably even here in the gilded capital that it came right here will be back in a flood. match geysers financial survival guide liquid i said those that you can convert into that quite easily. to keep in mind no assets to me into a place to watch cars or for. ministries police school says and city administrations of many countries depend on one corporation that doesn't like will still be on the board doesn't support the rights of. this dom is going to come to the woods as that going into this it's just a proprietary software you don't know the source code isn't. that is such

a security risk when you have a black box operating in the public eye to microsoft's dependency puts governments under a cyber threat and not only that i think. will. is certainly. one of the really. the subroutine. with. these this is. a stipend on. your vision starting divorce and student loans and fund is up and these cards. 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 dr marc our friend henry ford which it's great of you to be with us thank you so

much now tell me tell all about what are the wealthiest nations and sort of the poorest nations i want to take g.d.p. by g.d.p. right a great to be here about thank you so the wealthiest nations are outside of the u.s. that is china germany japan and 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 you've got good and then in the middle east for 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 on 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 continues as outpaced all nations actually is australia and that's what we do today. brilliant

immigration policies to get into australia i mean you have to have a certain network you have to come with 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 a men's growth are you've got the on 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 they overtook china by just like two percentage or two points that don't sort of percentage exactly yes 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 that it's 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 trade weighted water 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 been since one thousand nine hundred one it peaked 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 with in nations there's this technology gap between skilled labor and unskilled labor and that actually accounts for a lot of the nationalistic vote a populist vote like bricks it in the u.k. populism both 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. to me ask you for a go 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 hillary what are the real slow g.d.p. countries that we you know heaven forbid predicted the problems in those countries 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 it was 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 have strong mark to work for which thank you for coming in your leader malcolm but absolutely any time. one might ask where is the the definitively wealthiest place in the united states well r.t. correspondent trudy charges looked and went there for the special report beverly hills nine zero two one 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 eight hundred manatees from the arena to seven restaurants to eighteen tennis courts four different surfaces on tennis courts a great golf club we have an amazing. 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 obviously 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 placed 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 which is the codes in america the favorable tax structures in florida and in 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 the shore island you do have to pay a membership fee of a quarter million dollars and nothing including the annual fee. 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 this year i'll introduce 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 or to correspondent dan cohen give 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 sipped codes in the united states or 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 all that way out she has done it back just phasing us out i believe she thinks happy to have it just get rid of all of the income folks think about all of this and get the most of us back to the law going to japan south of the state or to have innocently say gentrification has devastated d.c.'s african-american population and then. seventy one african-americans accounted for seventy one percent of washington's population struggling to cope with the increasing cost of living and lack of employment opportunities twenty six 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 cohen. that's it for this time we appreciate you joining us on what's an incredibly important issue catch boom bust on direct t.v. channel three twenty one dish network channel two eighty or streaming twenty four seven on. t.v. channel one thirty two or as always check us out at youtube dot com slash boom bust r t c l a. u u u.

will be in. your last years plus. or not what i mean. well you. sure there was a formal review. and you were pretty forceful.

to move forward to. headlining right now u.k. counter-terror police say two people are critically ill after a major incident near the english city of souls exactly four months since russian double agents. were poisoned in the area. stages over the world cup with the quarterfinals now set to kick off this coming friday. independence day but just how proud are americans to be american a new survey suggests patriotism might be losing its sparkle. separated now instead of being united i'm in now.

is the fourth of july i'm calling brian welcomes your global news update this hour we'll have the best of the past twenty four hours of the world cup on the way but first i had lined story development in the past few hours british counter-terror police have declared a major incident after two people were left critically ill in hospital following what's thought to have been exposure to an unknown substance the man and woman were found unconscious on saturday at a property about ten kilometers north of salt that's the city where former russian double agents i guess crippled and his daughter were poisoned exactly four months ago more details now from polly boyo. things are still pretty unclear but the latest is that according to sky sources a song of whatever has affected the pair has been sent to porton down that is the government tree that identified the substance that was used on the script rouse four months ago as military grade nerve agent is just ten miles away from the village where the pair was found as you were saying but in another sign that this

could be a very serious incident we've had a statement saying that the metropolitan police the counterterrorism police have now been drafted in to help the local police in wiltshire with this investigation take a listen to what the met police had to say. as you would expect given the recent events in sos bre officers from the counterterrorism network are working jointly with colleagues from we should police regarding the incident in amesbury as police have stated they are keeping an open mind as to the circumstances surrounding the incident and will update the public as soon as regularly as possible although in a sign perhaps of the confusion surrounding this case at the moment the conflicting reports because a little bit earlier somebody from the wilcher police was talking to the b.b.c. and they said that there's no reason to think that any of this is in any way connected to the poisoning of the script pals back in march he told b.b.c.

well sure that i haven't seen anything in this incident yet that i would consider to be an overreaction it all seems fairly textbook that came from the police and crime commission of will share but it is nevertheless quite peculiar and at least from one where we're looking at there are similarities in these two cases they contain many of the same elements the script files were found unconscious on a park bench in cells break four months ago to this day and this new amesbury case involves a man and a woman in their forty's who were found unconscious at a residential address on saturday night they are now in a critical condition they're being treated at seoul's bre district hospital which is the very same hospital where the script files were treated they're receiving treatment for a sixth suspected exposure to an unknown substance and just like in the case of the script police have cordoned off areas of both souls bre town and amesbury which is

the village where they were found although none of that they haven't said that that's connected to the case but people are linking it to it and understandably all of this is a source of alarm for the local people who live in and around that village and insoles very well that the moment public health the. glend says it doesn't believe there is any source of significant health risk to anybody in the area or to the wider public although the device is being continually reassessed and updated but it's a story that's gathering pace the mystery is intensifying as these similarities between the two cases become more obvious. the fee for world cup is down to the last eight countries two states games left colombian and swiss hearts broken but it was jubilation for england. and some petersburg on hawkins how to cope with all the action from both.

of you watching us today welcome to russia's historic capital of. decided to have its museum. dripping in the streets. today it's all of course before the knockout stage has now wrapped up we know the teams now set to play in the world cup quarterfinals go head to head with france brazil face belgium on friday that should be a goal first on saturday all eyes here of course with the host russia clash with getting to of course sweden england also the same day. moscow wrapped up the knockout stage last night it really did have everyone has their seats on myself for three to three lives in a dramatic penalty shoot out. i

i. i . thank you. thank you. thank you steve and notional game we played well with our lucky to concede in the last

minute but we carried on you know we stuck together and i was a motion for feeling so. it's always difficult with emotions highs and lows so just proud of the t. and proud of each other and proud for the fads here and. we made a great effort well now it's time to raise our heads and prepare for what's next but you know it's painful we did all we could for columbia as the caps an advocate was saying and a whole range of emotions jubilation for the england fans figured finally a man easing to break that penalty which is haunted now for several tournament's and of course heartbreak for colombia who gave it their all but it wasn't quite enough punit joseph was also what's in the game in the colombian players brigade should everything for one hundred thinking or should be exhausted so why aren't such and magic actually more from our point of view because it can motions worn.

by doing at least a point if you are more comportment you go compete in the quarterfinals great job and people are happy you are called on the quality. you shoot for the longer form and then. you are not strong. we changed the. train. and heading for the finals we. share their enduring fair share to be all eyes of course on england caps and came football's hottest property right now the best striker at least according to many he scored that crucial penalty there was always attention knowing and might just blow it all but that goal number six for pushed him to the top of the race for the golden boot as the world cup's top scorer finds a ruptured to victory last night as you might expect scenes of relief and of course

your jubilation. if i. i. i was things heat up here in russia the intrigue only gets deeper pundits taking a break from his crystal ball predicts it will most football results most of all talk it so far too. young budding football stars of the future he is that report. yes i would think it was a failure to comply he must in the last question if he did not clear to me i do not slip in last year's most of all right but. the least.

it is. my leaving my command that much as tonight to be meeting and. winning a chilly continue to tell chelsea. one zero needn't. resembling it. social mores style so come monday which interests. just to be on the table in your . doc to. be too sweet you can only ever. be. ok so i was told that you are the good talent. that you are the kids with with good potential so i come to give a look your coach is ian i just stay outside i'm looking at you with all my attention but don't feel any pressure just feel happy and and free ok he will. go.
