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 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 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 will party.

time now for a super fast break but stay close because when we get back the c.e.o. of stroll mark our friend you'll 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 goes the picture of island florida for a special report on the wealthiest zip code and on the other end of the spectrum archie correspondent dan toing looks at the more on fortunate and analyzes poverty united states notably even here in the gilded capital that is playing right here will be back in a play. like a bull in a china shop donald trump style and negotiation skills were on full display at this year's annual nato gathering he was not shy about how he feels about the alliance now the trump putin summit is front and center would be a mere photo op or something more.

across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies to me to peep out the cells with simple song alone even some company else with so they can find a private companies to take over the utilities then he bought a telescope of a luxury mr guess who got to buy them the going to go buy been this is a must to quote them out put it somewhere you remember the live. locals are ready to stand up for the basic human right of access to water it's about water but it's also over much more than war it's about the hurt and the redistribution of. their debt downwards do you want or will.

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 mark our friend hilary ward which it's great of you to be with us thank you so much now tell me tell or about what are the wealthiest nations in sort of the poorest nations and what 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 and closely followed by the u.k. the poorest nation actually probably not many of our viewers have maybe even heard of a 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 a sure. how are they looking for 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 continues as outpaced all nations actually is 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 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 that's a great growth rate some of the emerging nations where there's a men's growth are you've got the some of the. in the pacific basically all the countries right now 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 two percentage or two points that don't sort of percent exactly as they did yes and it is in india and that's a lot of the. everybody of course in the u.k. always things well it's because they can speak english but they've actually been a pretty 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 over the emerging nations in sub-saharan africa is somewhere 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 really went out and even the netherlands crazy crazy us i guess is pretty difficult to predict what's going on given the current circumstance trade waiting for the but you know what sort of trends do you see there in or does it 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 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 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 of 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 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 people. around the world what are the real slow d.d.p. countries that we you know heaven 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 a disaster in syria and that's been a lot of course because of the drought i'm so i think you've got 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 is abject poverty and that will be places in the middle east so you have strong mark 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 treaty 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 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 exclusivity that attracts people from all over the world we have about thirty seven different nationalities and fishes. i have about fifty percent u.s. twenty five percent is from thousand 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 to use 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 dip 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 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 and 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 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 the shore 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. this all that way out she's doing it back just phasing us out i believe she thinks happy to have to just get rid of all of the income folks and

take a bit of all of this and get the most of us back to the law going to japan south of the city or have innocently say 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 the increasing cost 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 all need to bring in people who get money we can be to people get money you 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

fia. having more to gain is an outstanding person because he took on the most powerful agency in is tony for you me to stay if you look at it from the analogy. marc was the day that when he was five. going to be in the sheriff's most contentious critics say he is the first time i noticed something wasn't right in

fleece work pretty much when i first started the corruption in palm beach county is not something that you can smell or see it's a nod and a wink wasn't what i wanted to hear. we've had more shootings in this county then some states have had. to go and went to his website began featuring. his family the sheriff's wife. telling us why she like a bug you know we should stop and then he said the end of life and stuff i believe what i'm doing also it's ok you know it's your funeral going f.b.i. raided p.b.s. and a critic must do going to house. i snuck out of the united states. to russia why didn't political. men they know is bad wolf.

my. my. my. it's six pm when live in central london which is currently gripped by mass protests over the us president's visit i will welcome to all t u k. more than one hundred thousand protesters marched through central london against donald trump on his first visit to the u.k. as president. right now donald trump is in windsor having tea with the queen the way he was also greeted with protests earlier the president held talks with the reason why a check is. i would give our relationship with the u.k. and now especially after this two days and with your prime minister i would say the

highest level of special. president trump facts the bond between britain and the u.s. after appearing to suggest a reason maze bret's that plan could scupper that future trade deal i'll be speaking with former american diplomat ted see. out in other news police investigating the poisoning of a couple in amesbury was not a chop say they found the bottle sought to contain the nerve agent. good evening after all the build up donald trump is here in the u.k. on his controversial much anticipated visit the new president elect in the united states who defined the polls and the pundits all the way up to election day the fact that we do it together does not mean that we're afraid to say when we think the united states is going to wrong. one must protest having golf the

capitol with over one hundred thousand people flooding the streets together against trump demonstrators have now marched to central london's trafalgar square where police say the square is full to capacity activists have been forced to flood on to nearby streets the president himself right now is in windsor for tea with the queen the president and first lady maloney a trump were greeted by a god of honor and the u.s. national anthem was played. well more on the process we can now cross live to our correspondent who needs to sethi who's in central london. high they had a shot of it as i say some of the picture quality here might not be particularly good to the fact that there are a lot of people in central london but we can definitely hear her nisha and they show huge process that can you tell us what's going on. well donald trump's visit to the u.k. is close quite a stay with a noticeable police presence on security and not because of the volume of protests

that we've seen in trafalgar square right behind me and that been many different types of activist groups including human rights already ordered and algae bloom only gropes as well call it i'm joined by a protester now who's been protesting all day for ina good to see you head now let's talk trump you were talking about some dishonesty a little why you have protesting today for a few that there's never been approached in the area and qualified to be the first to be the person that states when you were a leader really. i also think it's not just with these important spirits he's actually hate america is the most profit from tree and it has a world effect what he does is it's called it's easy for me to race to a tree bigotry and stalking me if it's not for the good i don't think it was about america was so i hope so i'm here to make you know the i disagree with most of you

to be like a. and today as well i think it's i think is some positivity in the fact that the whole fight is a week a weekday afternoon show you people turned out to actually make their point that we stand together against from. the buses so much money so belonging to any setting if this was exciting you will be seeing this thing. going to america because four to six times. i actually have been since i was there just with actually been since he's from so i've known some friends family that have had issues going across services but me that there is a sense in and. even even if enough from the so. it's probably on this. american team i think. people people like me at the ready probably see that particular event is a great way to say the whole list because abortion is one of them i think that

where you when you've got are the mistress of the you making the step into the into the modern world you've got trump and cronies making up the. book that i should want to sell my my thank you so much michel because means that any of the fake stuff since everyone told me places that we don't process the sickest making the way down to regent street as well frank ending up at trafalgar square i mean there was also a women's march that took place and it's standard to have now matched and i'm just out to scrap a city congress been speaking areas well in tweeting saying that he thinks that all the protests should be done peacefully to cranks a bit if you can see him as well. and so keep you up to date on all the developments of the protests ok and he says he thank you very much indeed thank you well another thing protest us have been angry about is the cost of the president's four day visit.

this weekend police forces a pair in one of the biggest mobilizations in the history.

it's also emerged overnight the offices being accommodated in essex are sleeping on cots in squash courts. just about whether there were. sufficient police resources or have the assurance from the go commander in charge of this operation that that is the case is critical to about the situation. fact number of peace officers required for this operation

has forced significantly in the last. two weeks. and that is today donald trump appeared alongside the prime minister for a press conference a check as it follows a newspaper interview which appeared to suggest the president things to reason may has wrecked rex's and then it chunks of the trade deal with the us he's kind of open joins me now from new york for more. on high that kind of from what you've seen how special is the special relationship. well that's quite an interesting question now prior to the two leaders meeting there was an interview published that suggested donald trump was harshly critical of the u.k. prime minister for her brags that plan let's take

a listen to what was published in this interview that came out just prior to the meeting between the two leaders but if they do a deal like that it will most likely because we'll be dealing with the. european union instead of dealing with the u.k. so it will probably kill the deal with if they do that their trade deal with the u.s. is probably not be the i think the deal that you're striking is not what the people voted on so much different deal with the people the other. it was not the deal that was in the referendum. you know i've just been hearing this over the last three days i guess you can just hear about it over this is i know they have a lot of resignations so a lot of people don't like it but it will definitely affect trade with the united states unfortunately in a negative way. now when trump spoke alongside may he dismissed this is fake new is essentially saying that his comments were mischaracterized and that the

relations between the united kingdom and the united states are good and remain strong and that his words were essentially misrepresented this is donald trump speaking alongside to reason may i would give our relationship with the u.k. and now especially after this two days with your prime minister i would say the highest level of special unfortunately there was a story that was done which was you know generally fine but it didn't put in what i said about the prime minister and i said tremendous things unfortunately we tend to record. stories now so we have it for your enjoyment of you'd like it but we record when we deal with reporters it's called fake news now tresa may then akko trumps words emphasizing good relations between the two countries an ongoing dialogue regarding economic and foreign policy international issues this is respect to.
