me ah, thing investigation reveals to the host of america's riches billionaires actually avoiding tax spike getting richer for the us. revenue service seems more concerned with finding out to late the person and putin, rails, again, nato expansion in the mistreatment of russia and ukraine in a comprehensive interview. even ahead. if it's something with job by the university, students remove an image of queen elizabeth the 2nd from the colleges. common thing is linked to the colonial pass. the move has been condemned by the countries education minister as absurd. we put the issue of putting the queen is the figure head of our country. so i think it's a great, really, really great shame to come to this. they haven't seen disrespectful mcqueen that they made. they took the whole trade down. i think that the just expect that,

ah, either thanks for joining us. this is our team didn't reveal the host of billionaires on americas rich list have been avoiding taxes despite the surgeon, the wealth they expose a comes from a us independent journalist organization that received a link from the revenue service spot. this now launched an investigation that perhaps not the county might expect that already exist on a fixed price. there has been generations of american politicians repeating one mantra about how they should tax the rich. we will demand that the wealthy and large cooperation thought paying their fair share of taxes. it's time for a well in america. america's tax code is

a total dysfunctional mess. it is riddled with loopholes that lead some special interests, including myself in all fairness is going to cost me a fortune this they believe me, i think, is you able to become a billionaire in a millionaire? pay your fair share, repeated over and over again. it's almost like every bit here was taken out of some secret tax spell book and like any spell these failed to conjure a real well result. take heal and musk between 20142018. his wealth balloon by almost $14000000000.00. guess how much he paid in taxes, a whooping 3.27 percent. and if you think that slow, no, that's actually pretty average. that's how much america's 25 fattest cats gave up to the i r. s. and if you want low look no further than jeff basis, and warren buffet,

whose true tax rate barely hovered above 0. i continue to believe that the tax code should be changed substantially. huge dynastic wealth is not desirable for our society. yeah, that moment when your taxes are so low, even you can't help but feel like a bit of a crock. and all of this was lead to journalists at pro public, and the rest is investigating spoiler alert, not the billionaires. there is an investigation with respect to the allegations that the source of the information in the article came from the internal revenue service and remote this dude. he founded so concerned about the upper crust of american society, not paying their fair share. well, that was before the league, he is what his office is concerned with. now. any unauthorized disclosure of confidential government information by a person has access is illegal. and we take this very seriously. and the i r s. are

referring the matter to the office of the inspector general, the treasury inspector general for tax administration, the f b. i and the us attorney's office for the district of columbia, all of whom have independent authority to investigate all the talk about is how the persecution machine is in full bounty hand mode off to whoever leak the figures and completely ignoring the substance. i think there's a few reasons why authorities you're focusing on the data relation, not the content. what explanation is that, you know, they're concerned about the possibility that they're complete. tax return is of politicians will be released next to many members of congress are very rich landers . i don't know the possibilities. they're not saying anything is because there's nothing to say. i mean, there's numerous tax advantages for the super wealthy. they're intentionally within the tax code. they're perfectly legal and yeah, some of them are known by and used by the political leads as well, successful business. and yes, most of those hundreds of billions in equity. it's not like jeff basis has

a scrooge mcduck style dungeon with mountains of dollars. but with an average us household paying sometimes 10 times more than they do in taxes, the system just doesn't look so good. out of line with basic international human law that the russian president is described, the draft ukrainian law on indigenous people. it provides protection and self determination rights to some of ukraine's ethnic groups, but not to others, including millions of russians and a major interview on russian state. tv, but they may put and explained why the law could pose a threat to them. nice times, i've seen this job and one of the articles that need to be discriminated again, that the general legal principle, whatever is not legal. what does that mean? as you can discriminate against, that's included russians, minions, roles and gary. good. absolutely. and out of line with basic international law,

and it's not for everyone and what promotions that have a special and the thing is millions of people living in ukraine identifies russian young good. that was, according to the census conducted during the soviet era, and i don't think much has changed, but then a no more want to be a 2nd class citizen that will lead to 100 a 1000, or maybe even millions of people leaving ukraine or changing their nationality. any legal document, it will be a huge blow to people in general, and we certainly cannot just ignore that. 2 of the key topics that came up in the wide ranging interview were the expansion of nato and rushes relations with ukraine . it had had a much anticipated summit between putin and america. president joe biden, next week, my colleagues, you know, nealon brand, guess the, have discussed the interview. one of the chief concerns that we have with, with this new draft flow, is that it is reminiscent of the practices and methods of nazi germany, which is dividing people based on that genetic makeup, that adversity affording some groups,

protection and perhaps prosecuting others. and let me putin here said the what's, what's the kid of mixed heritage with leaks bad? what is, what does he choose as he's got a russian father and the ukranian mother? does he choose russia, who ukrainian, because he'll be afforded protections with one and with the other he will be discriminated again. so the, the, the entire thing is of tremendous concern to russia, especially given the millions of russians live in ukraine, nato expansion mara, to expand on as well. both of them are putting in the entry. vladimir putin says that now the argument for nato expansion, strengthening nasal is russia's aggressive behavior. but like i said, look at the, the decades gone the last decade there were 2 cycles of nato expansion. wow. russia in the west, la la, russia, and nato were friends while they were friends with each other. and here, let me move to remember cuba because cuba,

when the soviet union station nuclear weapons, there was a huge red line for the united states. russia was eventually remove those nuclear weapons, but somehow, when the united states and they to encroach on russia closer and closer and closer to russia's borders, somehow they don't see that as being of concern to russia. vladimir putin says that it isn't as nature's expansion and his infrastructure getting closer to vs boarded issue for the severe washington for country because of the mythical. and that's why is that when pulling the romania became nathan member state, they quickly agreed to american missile defense system to be stationed on the territory for the launch pads used for those systems can also be used for offensive weapons. been for russia, including moscow within a very short timeframe for 15 minute me much. and if ukraine was to become a nato member, it would then take 7 to 10 minutes miss station to stay near articles mostly put on it to reach moscow. is that the red line fruits or not?

so russia has been attack enough times for nuclear weapons and of odds of an international coalition encroaching, moving closer and closer to russia to start bringing alarm bells and on the smooth . let me know, 2 talks about your grades prospect of jordan and nathan obsession. really objectively speaking in last several years here he remarked on one incident, several days ago when barton and the president spoke by phone, they issued very different press statements at the end. biden said that they talked about corruption and guaranteeing you credit territory integrity. the ukrainians claim that they also jo button also said that he would, he was in support of offering the ukraine a roadmap to join, to join naval. the americans press the gradients to remove that and said we said nothing of the sort. and that incident caused a lot of jokes in russia and experts, circles in the press. vladimir putin said that he for one wasn't laughing because

we don't know what was in that pool. and the behavior of ukraine and nato is such that it suggests that ukraine potentially will, could be offered neighbor membership a native. so let me put and says that those, those are red line for russia that need to infrastructure and perhaps even nuclear weapons moving into ukraine for russia. that is an absolute red lot. the case education secretary has slammed the behavior of smoke for the university. students is simply absurd. so they took down the portraits of queen elizabeth the 2nd from their college common room, claiming they found a defensive since it was. and the country's colonial past. the president of the college in question says the picture was removed after a vote, which itself was the initiative of students. these days. british educational institutions typically don't display the queen's portrait of some cambridge and

oxford college is still due. the protest removal comes as the queen proposed to mark 70 years on the throne. next year. we put the issue and the minister's reaction up for debate. well, i think he is because he was elected in fantasies and elected member of parliament . i mean, my position, he's quite entitled to say to that to, to his comments. i might not agree with all his comments with many other ministers, but he's entitled to make them. and i think the public would expect him on a situation like this to come out with such a common i'm, i mean very selective about what they comments on. i think that has to be said as well, or you just saw the sweet voice johnson speaking about, you know, some christopher that made comments. you can't just pick and choose what you want to speak about if you want to. if you want to keep everything that people have a why they didn't make any, i don't know why they repeated. they made a disrespectful comment to the queen. what was the distance will come in and the

queen is the figurehead of our country. so i think it's a great, really, really great shame. it's come to this about the queen and also wherever the stuff that you know, everybody feel that the queen. but that's something that they started believe. and colonialism inherited well. system lack of memory talk to say so if they don't want that they happen being disrespectful to the queen. i think there's another of this kind of talk of disrespect. and even though you respect that, that's not a 2nd piece, there was no reason for them to causes fuss. they could just remove portrait, but instead of public and making this new pretty vile insult to up to the queen. i didn't think that the music stream culture extremism in the, in the universities. but there should be freedom of speech and respect for

different views. that's important. there shouldn't be in my, in my humble opinion sent to ship, imposed by by stopping some speakers just because they don't like they're not liked with some of their views. as long as they're not extremist views that i would never encourage they made. they took the portrait down, i think that people need to just respect that. and if it hadn't been blown up in the way it was, there wouldn't be the great talk about that. so the taishan workers in paris of overturned trash containers installed the district manager office during a city wide strike the furious about new labor reforms that trade union se will reduce annually and increased working out. the sick mass denounced the writers totally unacceptable. those 30 measures were approved by president my from cabinet in 2019 their aim is

claimed to cut some 120000 civil service jobs over 3 years to discuss the rest of the triggered in political commentator. and that is a little it's not just essentially resistant to change, has to come. it's also the, the sort of during the war between the mayor of paris and he does go on the president. mccormick wants to streamline the finances of the country. he voted this before the code, the crisis, the curve is quite that much more difficult because we spend so much there is frustration. i mean, you have lots of contradictory messages. he is very unpopular with people with whom he isn't popular and he still has a fairly important rump of people will support him. he's very pro, rising a device in many ways. i think they all were it, they're all poll the so when over most but most of the day, but it's much more now we want to get money. now got old that give him within the margin of error to 52 percent for him associate with for hot and considering the

size of the sample. it is within the margin of error, and yet it does come to you in germany loc homes, other whose laws have supremacy threatening legal action against berlin story after ah, o, i join me every thursday and the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me the media a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safer?

tyson lation, whole community. you going the right way or are you being direct? what is true? what is faith in the world corrupted? you need to defend the join us in the depths will remain in the shallows, use in the the news. ah, a new pose found that the pandemic has battered trust in the e u. the survey was commissioned by the european council. they found citizens are

unhappy with a blog, certainly response to the pandemic. and with the sluggish vaccination campaign also, and a number of member states, more than half of those surveyed said they had low confidence in the union. many respondents also said that they were even more disappointed in the national policies. while there's more trouble bring to the blog as a sponsor over the priority over e. u. of the you over national law, turns ugly with brussels threatening legal action against germany. last year, the country's constitutional court rubbed the you up the wrong way by ruling the debt purchasing scheme might be illegal. the late to reverse, the decision to oliver explains the spot. government funded by, you know, put it much simpler the buying of debt. here in europe, we're talking about trillions of euro, worse of it to prop fiscally, we could countries at the expense of low, so you perform better economically. here in germany, they've never been

a big fund over it. and now the european commission in brussels is issue to legal wrap on the nose to berlin after germany is constitutional call dead to challenge the european central banks. money printing plans. after having conducted a detailed analysis and following an informal dialogue, if the german 4 it is, the commission is therefore decided today to send a letter form a notice to germany for violation of fundamental principles of the law by federal constitutional court. to get to the bottom of this, we have to go way back to the e. c. be purchasing some 2.6 trillion euro worth of bonds. and all the securities between 20152018, with the intention of providing stimulus to the economies of the 19 e. u. member states that use the euro. this is where that conflict arises because the european court of justice in luxembourg describe the bond buying program is legit and legal that was then questioned by

a group of german conservatives. and you wrote skeptics. they weren't sure about where and how german taxpayer money was being spent. eventually, the 16 judges of the federal constitutional court said the c. b plans could go ahead. that's what has shocked some m. p. 's about b e u commission decision to push the matter further and publicly, while others see it is needed. i admit the case is very complicated, but it is fundamentally very, very simple. a central bank buys bonds with money printed fire created by here ex needle. so they enlarge the money at space and ab, i, they create great risk for inflation, which not happens the day after, not even the day after tomorrow, but some day because there is a high potential for inflationary tendency of the same as the people who put their money in the bank who have a limited amount of money as they need

a compensation for that. for the time being they didn't get any compensation. and if they put more of the bank, they have to pay negative interest. prices have been rising for real estate everywhere. defect is very much reflected in the example of american italy. italy can place it's her bonds and better conditions and being agitators an advocate. there must be something wrong. this is a distortion of competition, which does not pay tribute to the real risks of italian bonds and american bands. i think the main challenge of that ruling is that the european kish commission, which considers itself as the guardian of the treaty, cannot accept the national constitutional courts challenge of the european court of justice for the you commission. the problem is, any court from any member state questioning, the primacy of a new law ought to be more accurate the precedent,

the doing so would create this could threaten the integrity of union law and could open the way to europe. a look at your union isn't remains a community based on law, and the last 2 new law is always spoken in luxembourg. it does seem as though the german government side are willing to take the knox on this one for the great good of team you. however, with you, commission president ursula, for the lines set to hand a legal ticking off to her former boss, chancellor angle america. there are some suggesting the you commission president stepping out from under claim she may be still somehow beholden to berlin. patrol of a r t in the german capital. oscar police say the arrested 81 people as part of a global sting operation led by the us. be honest,

claiming to call more than $800.00 criminals across the globe, including arms and drug dealers by tricking them into using an encrypted app side from last year. rates have taken place in more than a dozen countries, including australia. the federal police worked alongside us intelligence, the out called anom was run by the f. b. i. security forces apparently got senior figures in organized crime to use. i'm promoted and allowed the intelligence agency to monitor communications between gangs, if the legal attach a and still held the sting, a major success. this operation demonstrates how the f, b, i and our international law enforcement partners can come together to successfully combat transnational organized crime and drug trafficking activity partnerships of the key to law enforcement. success has no one country or agency can tackle this problem alone. the operation almost broke down early this year when anonymous blogger posted an article calling on people to stop using the app because the

safety concerns his blog was then shut down. meanwhile, australian officials have defended the legality of intercepting those private messages. the country's police commission, a race car shall, says the 1st time a law has been used to intercept telecommunications. but the former ca, unless john iraqi told us the way the authors disguise public apps has been encrypted and secure. raises serious issues. i think we should all just assume that our communications, even our encrypted communications, are being monitored pretty much all communications apps can be used by law enforcement or by intelligent services, despite on average people in these organizations like an essay and g, c, h, q, and cia there they're working on things that we we can only imagine we can only fantasize about. we have no idea the scope of the technology that they have access to. and so i don't think it's ever safe for the average

person. the reason that they say they do it is that it's to keep us safe. it's to allow law enforcement to collect information on possible terrorist attacks or criminal activities. but that's not the way the constitution works. all platforms are compromised, and that's why we should always be so careful. in our private communications. moscow court is outlawed organizations founded by alex and yvonne the. the court ruled the russian opposition figures. political net was extremist drank as more the russian prosecutors have been highlighting the extreme as nature as they are putting it. of the organizations lead and founded by opposition activists elect saying, navarro me according to the authorities, the so called novalis h queues and also the anti corruption funds that are labeled as foreign agents in

this country were regularly behind on law for demonstration rallies and other unsanctioned gatherings that often lead to unrest and even violence in some cases. so these are the key reasons why the fund is being fully banned in this country. earlier members of the anti corruption font, like seen of all these allies, announced that they were wrapping up the activity of their network in its present form because of the enormous pressure that they were experiencing from the rushing state. like st and evolving himself is currently serving a 3 year sentence for violating the terms of a suspended sentence. that's something that he received earlier as a result of a fraud case. western governments have long been accusing moscow of being after mister, an evolving, and the organizations that he has been in charge of for political reasons and, and this led to serious cracks in moscow relations with the you and the west for

example. but the russian side maintain, that the legal action against the prominent opposition figure is fully within the wash and legal framework and is only related to the crimes that have been committed by like teen evolving himself and his political network together brings up today, don't get we have plenty more stories covered on our website. check them out at our c dot com i the here was our annual summer solution where we know not a problem, but on the solution. one of the worst ever mass shootings in america was in las vegas in 2017. the tragedy

a close a little of the real last vegas where many say elected officials are controlled by christina learners. the vegas shooting revealed what? the l v n p. d. really is, and now it's part of the machine to the american public barely remembers that it happens. that just shows you the power of money in las vegas. the powerful showed that true colors when the pandemic had the most contagious contagion that we've seen in decades. and then you have a mayor who doesn't care to, here's caroline goodman, offering the lives of the vegas residence. to be the control group. to the shiny facades conceal a deep indifference to the people vice gonna say that they will take an action. absolutely keep the registering and keep the slot machines doing. this is a money machine is a huge cash register that is ran by people who don't care about people's lives being lost.
