the ah thing investigation reveals a host of america's which is billionaires are avoiding taxes by getting rich in the us revenue services as well could serve with finding out we believe residences in rails, again, nato expansion and the mistreatment of russians in ukraine in the comprehensive interview of his summit, joe biden talks with university students who are moving image of queen elizabeth the 2nd from the college common room citing. it's linked to the colonial past. the move condemns, find the country's education minister as absurd. we took the issue of the device. the queen is the head of our country. so i think it's a great, really, really great shame come to this. they haven't being disrespectful mcqueen, if a major vote, they took the poetry down. i think people need to just respect that. ah,

good morning, thanks for joining us on us. been revealed a host of billionaires on america's rich list have been avoiding taxes despite the surgeon the wealth exposed say comes from the us independent journalist organization. the received a leak from the revenue service. a lot body has now lost an investigation though perhaps not the kind he might expect. the biggest dawn of exploits. there is 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 let some special interests, including myself in all fairness is going to cost me a fortune this they believe me. i think you should be able to become a billionaire and 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 spelled, these failed to conjure a real world result. take heal and mosque 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 is. 25 fatis cats gave up to the i r. s. and if you want low look no further than jeff basis, and warren buffet, who's 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, i let 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 with 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 concepts. what explanation is that, you know, they're concerned about the possibility that they're complete tax return, as of politicians will be released next to many members of congress are very rich land or 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. and that's how the russian president described a draft ukrainian law on indigenous people. this provides protection and self determination rights to some of ukraine's ethnic groups, though not to others, including millions of russians. now, major interview on russian stake tv, limited, and explained why the law could pose a threat to them. nice times, i've seen this one of the articles and they need to be discriminated against the general legal principle that whatever is not prohibited illegal. what does that mean? nominating su, this can be discriminated against that include the russians is also romanians all from gary. and so it's absolutely unacceptable and it's out of line with basic international human law. and it's not for everyone but promotions that have

a special significance. the thing is, millions of people living in ukraine identifies russian young according to the census conducted during the soviet era. and i don't think much has changed then. no more want to be a 2nd class citizen that will lead to hundreds of 1000, or maybe even millions of people leaving ukraine or changing the nation out in legal documents. it will be a huge blow to russian people in general. and we certainly cannot just ignore that . well, 2 of the key topics that came up in the wide ranging interview were the expansion of nato and russia relations with ukraine. it had heard of a much anticipated summit between vladimir putin and the american president joe biden. next week and colleagues in o'neill and ron gary did discuss the interview. one of the chief concerns that glad me has with, with this new draft law, 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 mix pads. what is, what is he to choose as a, he's got a russian father and the ukranian mother does. he choose russian ukrainian because he'll be afforded protections with one and with the other. you will babs 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 mer to expand on as well. both of them are putting in the integrated vladimir putin says that now the argument for nato expansion, strengthening native, 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. while russia and the west, la, la russia and nato were friends, while they were friends with each other. and here, let me beautiful 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 is a nature's expansion. and his infrastructure getting close to his borders is an extremely important issue for the security of all russians and for country it has a practical significance for us. why is that? when pulling the romania became nato member states, 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 be turned into russia, including moscow within a very short time frame in many ways, imagine if ukraine were to become a nato member, it would then take 7 to 10 minutes, missiles, limitations, the network of manipulated to reach moscow. is that the red line for us or not.

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 remark 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 they talked about corruption and guaranteeing your grades, territory integrity and the ukrainians claim that they also do. but 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 the lose. 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 some oxford university students as simply absurd. after they took down the portrait of queen elizabeth the 2nd from the college common room, claiming they funded offensive since it represents the countries hello, neil passed the president of the collision question says the pitcher was removed after a vote itself, the initiative of the students. these days, british educational institutions typically don't display the queen's portrait though. some cambridge knocks with colleges still do. the protest removal comes as

the queen can propose to mark 70 years on the throne next year. it's an issue we put up for debate. well, i think he's because he was elected in fantasies 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 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, but i mean, you're 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 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 white on, they didn't make any idea why they're just repeated. they made a disrespectful comment to the queen. what was the distance will come in?

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

views. that's important, there shouldn't be in my, in my humble opinion, censorship, 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 never encourage. they made their boat, they took the poetry down, i think that people need to just respect that. and if it hadn't been blown up and need to weigh it was that wouldn't be the great thing about that. situation. workers in paris of overturned trash containers installed the district office during a city wide strike. the protest as a furious about new labor reforms that trade union say will reduce annual leave and the increase working hours this to denounce the rise totally unacceptable. 30 measures were approved by president microns cabinets in 2019. the aim, its kind is to cut some 120000 civil service jobs over 3 years. we discussed the

recent and rest of the triggers in france, the political commentator and elizabeth moutain. 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. and the president mccormick wants to streamline the finances of the country. he voted this before the cobra crisis. the curve is quite that much more difficult because we spent so much there is restriction. i mean, you have to come to the tree messages. he's very popular with people with he isn't popular and he still has a very important support and he's very poor rising in devices. anyway. i think they all were it all polls the song when the most but most of the day, but it's much more now we want to get now got old that give him within the margin

of error. cool. 52 percent for him. 48 percent hot and considering the size of the sample it is within the multitude of arrows. and yet it still come to you in germany. law combs, of a whose nose have supremacy brussel threatening legal action against explain all after the break. ah ah ah me in the news

the long when i would show the wrong when all just don't the rules. yes. to fill out the thing because after an engagement it was the trail. when so many find themselves world far as we choose to look for common ground in the back and you pose found the pandemic is bastard trust. in the you, the survey was commissioned by the european council and found citizens are unhappy

with the blocks early response to the pandemic. and with the eas, sluggish vaccination campaign, and the number of member states, more than half of those surveyed said they had a low confidence in the union. the many respondents also said they were even more disappointed in the national politics. meanwhile, there's more trouble brewing for the blog because the spots about the priority of e. u. of a national law turns ugly with brussels threatening legal action against germany. last year, the country's constitutional court rubbed the you the wrong way by ruling that is debt purchasing scheme might be illegal later, reversed and decision. each other very pause government fund, buying or put it much simpler the buying of, of debt. here in europe, we're talking about trillions of euro worth 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 issued

a legal rap on the nose to berlin after germany's constitutional court dare to challenge the european central banks. money printing plans. after having conducted a detailed analysis and following an informal dialogue to german forties, the commission is therefore decided today to send a letter form a notice to germany for violation of fundamental principles of you law, by the federal constitutional court. to get to the bottom of this, we have to go way back to the e. c. b, 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 conflicts 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 in euro 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 's 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 via created by here ex needle. so they enlarge the monetary space and that they create a 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 savings. the people who put their money in the bank who have a limited amount of money. they need a compensation for that. for the time being,

they don't get any compensation. and if they put a little 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 america, italy, italy can place it's her bonds and better condition than the entities is america. there must be something wrong. yeah, this is a distortion of competition, which does not pay tribute to the real risks of italian bonds and american bonds. 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 called challenge of the european court of justice for the 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. so you can union is and remains a community based on law and the last to it on the law is always spoken. in luxembourg, it does seem as though the german government side are willing to take then knocks on this one for the great good of team you. however, with you commission president ursula on the line set to hand a legal picking off to her form of both chancellor angle and miracle. there are some suggesting it's the you commission pro said in stepping out from under claim she may be still somehow beholden to berlin patrol of a r c and the german capital austrian police say the arrested 81 people is fond of a global sting operation. lead by the us, the be honest, claiming to have caught more than $800.00 criminals worldwide,

including arms and drug dealers by tricking them into using an encrypted up side from last year. rates has taken place in more than a dozen other countries including australia, where the federal police worked alongside us intelligence. the app called anom was run by the f. b. i. security forces apparently got senior figures in organized crime, to use and promoted, and allowed the intelligence agency to monitor communications between gangs. if the legal attached in austria hailed 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 on anonymous blog posted an article calling on people to stop using the app because the safety concerns than his blog was shut down. meanwhile,

australian officials defended the legality of intercepting those private messages. the country's police commission aris kershawn, says the 1st time a law has been used to intercept telecommunications, the former ca, unless john curiosity told us the way the authorities disguise, public county is being 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 in the valley. the court ruled the russian opposition figures. political network was extremist elementary and ripples. the russian prosecutors have been highlighting the extremist nature as they are putting it of the are going to zation, lead and founded by opposition activists elect saying the vomit, according to the authorities, the so called novalis h q's 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 elect scene 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 and evolving. and the organizations that he has been in charge of for political reasons and, and this led to serious cracks in moscow's relations with b,

u and the west for example. but the russian side maintain, that the legal action against the prominent opposition figure is fully within the rush of legal framework and is only related to the crimes that have been committed by like teen evolving himself and his political network gave up. today. i'll be back with more than half an hour. the as a korea professional sport is much tougher on some than others. she was a year old myer by everybody. so why would somebody believe me? i was just a little girl. the price paid to, to, to achieve really was was how to read in the paper this morning. usa swimming coach, arrested, allegedly had sex with

a 12 year old girl. this happens almost every week. we get calls at the office. i get informed about one of my greatest fears is someone's going to start linking all this together. there's going to be a 60 minute documentary about youth coaches in sports like gymnastics swimming. is that documentary? i see it on our tea driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me dares think we dare to ask me.

ah, i don't know. i mean, there are some steps in there were rescuing the food that they were not scavenging or were rescuing resources that are still good. this is best buy march 21st, which is in 2 days. all these potatoes, holla, pianos, onions, all of these came from waste brown sources. this is great for me because i'm always looking for a way to give the way dr. because the tax laws, you know, definitely do benefit the wealthier people in our society. so that makes sense for them to throw it out right off rather than give it to somebody who could use it. and then that person is not going to buy it. the the,

the the their, their boom bus one business show you can afford to mit, i'm going to bore in washington coming up the u. s. congress has cleared a bill to boost the nations tech development particular in the field of semiconductor. straight ahead. we analyze the details of the bill and how it could impact the supply chain in the years to come. plus a new report shows records of how the wealthiest citizens in the nation have dodged paying taxes for years. later we take a deep dive into these stunning figures, plus is the lucrative business of travel coming back. well, we're thinking to the details with the art correspondence sites after the fact. so today to dive right in and we begin as the u. s. senate has passed

a bill that attempts to crack down on china threat to western technology. the us senate voted 682321 tuesday to approve a sweeping package of legislation intended to boost the countries ability to compete with china. senate majority leader, chuck schumer says that the bill will help lay the foundation for another century of american leadership. as a percentage of g d. p, we spend less than half as much as the chinese communist party on basic research. we rely on foreign nations to surprise crit supply critical technologies that we invented like semiconductors, that sony american optimism has flickered as well. that world is more competitive now than in any time since the end of the 2nd world war. if we do nothing our days, if the dominant super power may be ending for their.
