in europe. 6. nations enters. the program with millions of americans losing their small businesses shuttered. it's revealed the country's biggest companies paid no federal tax last year. current hollywood release them are a teeny and depicts the story of the widely regarded to be the most tortured. prisoners lawyer and the director of the. evidence to this day.

there is always pressure. in the world this is the pleasure of your company. easter weekend has arrived in europe but things aren't looking too festive germany has introduced strict nighttime curfews in several states. booze in public spaces to slow the spread of the coronavirus after some e.u. states state partial closure of vaccination centers over the holiday charlotte can fill in the blanks. after an agonizingly slow start to the vaccination campaign it was supposed to be following only picking up speed effects innocently

completing this from the fact the nation is a national priority there's no bank holiday there's no weekends vaccination so we must all vaccination centers that are opened across the country fully vaccinated that cool came as the world health organization criticised europe's vaccine rollout is being fully inadequate vaccines present our best way out of this pandemic however the rollout of these vaccines is an acceptably slow we must speed up the process by ramping up manufacturing reducing barriers to administering vaccines and using every single vial we haven't stuck now but as europe celebrates the spring holidays the inoculation rate at least in some regions is actually growing thing to a standstill in madrid spain vaccinations have actually been a poultry for 4 days the plan is to allow medical staff to rest but that's in direct opposition to calls from the country's health minister who has demanded that

they keep the ruling out that jobs now in germany to some states are shutting up shop prompting anger and mockery at the sluggish rollout some vaccination centers in germany are going to be shot over the easter weekend but that's ok because it's not like this is an emergency or anything german leader is pummeled by press for this because everyone now is covered 900 takes the holidays off. if it doesn't have holidays we're still recovering from the ludicrous christmas meet up and that usual stereotype of. fish and sea took even more of a battering as chancellor angela merkel flip flopped over the idea of extending the restrictions instead she's. a bit of rest. so what does this mean for the next few days it means 1st and foremost that it should be a quiet easter one in a small circle with

a very reduced context as you to refrain from all non urgent travel and that we all consist in the fall all the rules herein francaise a new nation wide lockdown begins many getting ready to obscure and rolled with the city's a sort of weekend truce is being allowed for people to get away for the break but the 2 came with this warning either you go for weeks or you do not go but the guard is hoping to take advantage of the noise so whether with a tourist quencher believes where drinking alcohol outside in public spaces or even the parks has become the latest. it's no longer allowed tighter controls will also be in place with authorities clamping down on groups of more than 6 measures put in place as france struggles to get a grip on rising infection rates for many in europe it was hoped that this weekend

would be a bit of a break from the monotony of prove it instead the virus continues to be the biggest party pooper in. so let's even ski r.t. harris. while in the hard hit prison suburban. doctors are struggling to find enough intensive care beds for patients. we are being overwhelmed with covert cases serious covert cases our intensive care unit is almost full the flow of patients increases every day there are more covert positive tests negative the situation is grave since sunny is the poorest region in mainland fronts 800 kroner virus cases per 100000 people belts more than twice the national average there are also been reports that teachers are walking out due to the high number of infections in schools. meanwhile yet another t.v.

locked on gathering in a park in the belgian capital has been dispersed by mounted police. water kalin was also on a leash to enter on the events while riots officers broke up groups of stragglers in the name of social distancing a few days ago thousands in brussels turned out in another park for what was billed as a lockdown concert though the gig itself turned out to be an april fool's joke by pranksters . a prominent psychiatry has been detained in serbia for allegedly spreading the vaccine propaganda a stalker which who also leads a small right wing party is one of several people being questioned in a government crackdown officials accuse them of creating fear in public and putting lives at risk all the perpetrators of criminal acts must be dealt with especially

when they threaten public health. serbia has the 3rd highest vaccination rate in europe with more than 2300000 citizens having received at least the 1st shot other european countries are trying to pick up the pace with italy becoming the 1st to introduce the controversial measure of compulsory jobs for health workers the u.k. is introduced monetary jobs as well but so far only for care home stuff earlier i discuss the issues raised by europe's vaccination rollout with a panel of guests. well when we talk about the mandate for the common 1000 vaccine i think we need to look into a broader perspective the 1st thing is that of either the vaccine is safe secondly the gravity of the situation and thirdly if anything else is working and if we put all of these 3 things together for me i think it is really important i think is a cloud for the community responsibility that this vaccine would be a mandate for anybody who had the possibility to pick up an thingy if money tree

just for health workers is going to save the lives of vulnerable people it's the right thing to do business it no i don't agree transfer since july i think there will be a company who faces again it's going to be going to show a strong us who are really discriminates against us soften the memory which is being described we have to bear in mind look it's just the bottle of which you are actually kind of ignoring. the facts of the monster of the boss with your cheaper population she did not meet this fascination you know how to with yours are actually you know sent home if they are symptomatic with any infection and it's not discrimination and if they refuse to accede and so how is the police not taking taxi ins. and we've let them work with a little patience because actually on oscar all vulnerable is not discrimination is

just protection of patients that you work with and talking about the mandate off of them but the vaccine i think if we talk about any individual person there might be still in fact after vaccination or can still transmit the infection but if this were actually is applied on a broader community then the transmission would certainly be stopped and we haven't witnessed this one in israel so in a community level the impact of the vaccine is a lot more than what you see any individual level unfunny from what we know in the past that their help in numerous examples of on t.v. is being blamed for the resurgence of preventable diseases measles being one such example considering where in the middle of a pandemic does this more need to be done to counter the more extreme versions of of these protesters whoa of course repeats murray what exactly are the roots. are obvious to produce. are not purchased to debate the issue or somebody is sending something out round goes through proved wrong what we really eat is who to

be given to go through promotions great fool decisions who are probably. going to. write another story generating a lot of interest of a it has been revealed that over 50 big american companies including seals force and nike paid 0 in federal corporate income tax in the last fiscal year amid widespread job losses blamed on the pandemic artie's kill up and looks at how the us system appears to favor the rich. paycheck to paycheck that's how more than half of been living especially since the pandemic and they're also paying taxes but what would those americans say when they found out that $55.00 of the largest corporations in the united states paid no taxes last year that includes fedex and nike after deductions and exemptions they ended up paying net 0 but they were supposed to pay $8500000000.00 quite a big difference sounds like

a joke especially for america's small businesses that have been devastated by the pandemic and still had to pay the rent after earning nothing and surprisingly they now might be hit again now that biden is planning to raise personal income taxes that hit 95 percent of small businesses like a hurricane a strange decision it is letting big corporations off the hook while burying small business owners even deeper i do not think it's the right time especially that we're in a pandemic and small businesses and we've done enough to to survive this pandemic and i mean it's a troubling time for everyone now and then for people to tax small business owners who are a struggling be perfect finding creative ways to stay in business over the last 40 years that is roughly since 1000 a.d. there has been a systematic redistribution of wealth and income from the poorer and the middle

class to those at the very top there are men be more lobbyists in washington then there are senators and congressmen and women you know the wordage the jayanti of people working on legislation in the capital of washington d.c. are paid agents of large corporations so you see that the control of the big businesses by giving donations to the candidate and to parties and by paying these armies of not be used. they have the influence to make sure that the tax system favors that but don't go rushing to say the world is unfair biden is also promising a tax increase on the very rich i have nothing against millionaires and billionaires but here's the deal we're going to raise the corporate tax it was 35 percent which is too high we all agreed 5 years ago it should go down to 28 percent

. with the reduced to 21 percent raise it back to up to 20 percent ironically though is there really any point in doing this when companies are already failing to pay the current rate even when taxes on the rich were much higher 18 of america's top $258.00 corporations still managed to pay only some of it seems like loopholes are quite friendly to the rich and powerful are all tax problem a bit of the theory because behind it the reality is that the bigger the corporation the easier it is for them to pay for the lawyers the accountants the economists like me who will help them escape taxation the reality is that around the world today large corporations have the ability to move their profits to wherever the tax rate is the lowest so they don't have to pay higher rates of taxation if the united states has tax rates higher than other countries they'll

move their profits to other countries some observers say that the biden planned attacks corporations is just a farce and they don't really have any intention of making them pay however small businesses will continue to struggle and artsy new york. the story of the detainee who is widely regarded as the most tortured man in one tele mowbray is the picture of in the hollywood film the mauritanian know in today's episode of going underground afshin rattansi speaks to the director of the movie on the lawyer of mohamedou slahi who was held in the notorious prison for 14 years with a charge arrested in mauritania by u.s. forces following the 911 attacks mr sly was accused of being an al qaeda member the firm is based on his diary published in january 25th dean which exposes the horrors of life in the detention center the full interview can be watched on r

t throughout the day but here's a quick teacher. you want to represent the head recruiter for 911 constitution doesn't have an asterix yet. they kidnap me from my home prop me here over the back of my head and chains around my body. there seem to be a lot of pressure going to class pressure i don't know for you to drop the case all through well that there was always pressure against cases in more in guantanamo or cases involving alleged terrorists and we tried did make that point when joni talks about that she's taking the words right out of an op ed i did in 2010 where i said i was a terrorist lawyer and proud of it people thought what him and that is saying about how bad it was they were grounds for the us authorities to. lock him up my understanding from talking to nancy talking to your cat shoes the letter the

prosecution lawyer for the government in america that everybody else is that there are so playing to the stories there were new grounds for having him there there were suspicions and he was still to associate with some people who may have done some bad things but there was no evidence at all in this still to this day remains no evidence at all against clinton that he was an innocent man who was locked up for more than 14 years and there are many many other people in one time in the same situation as even to date obama put him back in jail after he wins that doesn't happen in an innocent man narrative plot to a film that's a terrible twist on the end of the movie and we shouldn't really be giving it away it's actually the part that more people have said to me oh my dogs because you've been through this incredible and sometimes harrowing journey and you think you're coming out the other side because there's been this courtroom victory. and then the ravi's tooled for monday you and you get

a small sense of what it must have been like to be a mum a day or nancy i think some people would. like to see obama the same today. completely assume from any responsibility that this is getting away from the fact that if he continued he continued to use the policies of his recess. how did that feel after winning and then as firm i would do today i understand he cannot easily travel is a kind of prisoner today well he is a kind of prisoner didn't get a passport for 3 years after he got out that was the deal the us made with mauritania they wouldn't give him the passport and now he has not been able to get a visa so far to to europe he only got a visa to south africa we are hoping he and his american wife and baby can someday find a country that will give to give him citizenship and allow them to allow him to

travel he's a free man he should be allowed to travel. it's the door to use our the islamic state the terror group past had control of a key town in mozambique for over a week the international community seems not overly bothered about the brink. i've.
