the the thing investigation reveals a host of about his riches billionaires are avoiding taxes despite getting richer. the us revenue service, things more concerned with finding out who lead to this fact president of rails, again, natal expansion and the miss treatments of russians in ukraine in a comprehensive interview, given a head of his stomach with joe by the university students remove an image of queen elizabeth the 2nd from the college common read, citing. it's linked to the colonial pass to move condemned by the countries education minister as absurd. we took the issue up to the queen is the figurehead of our country. so i think it's a great, really, really great shame has come to this happen being is respectful, creating a major portrayed out. i think that people need to just that

ah, whether you, what your auntie international good to have with us been revealed. a host of billionaires on america's rich list have been avoiding taxes despite a surge and wealth. exposed a comes from a us independent journalist organization which received a leak from the revenue service. about bodies now launched an investigation, though, perhaps not the con you might think on the easiest on of explains. there's 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. if i am for a well in america,

america's tax code is a total dysfunctional mess. it is riddled with loopholes that lead some special interests. losing 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 world 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 is. 25. fattest cats gave up to the i r. s. and if you want low look no further than jeff bases,

and warren buffett, 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 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 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 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. after 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 as 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 sheman law, not sound. the russian president has 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 television to the peach and explain why the law could pose a threat to them. nice the thing that i've seen this draft and one of the articles and it saves that native missed it, cannot be discriminated against the general legal principle that whatever is not prohibited illegal. does that mean non native ethnicities can be discriminated against? that includes russians, but also romanians polls from gary. and so it's absolutely unacceptable. and he's

out of line with basic international human law. it's bad for everyone, but promotions. it has a special significance. the thing is millions of people living in ukraine identifies russian. that's according to the sense of conduct during the soviet era, and i don't think much has changed since then. a no more want to be a 2nd class citizen that will lead to hundreds of thousands, or maybe even millions of people leaving ukraine or changing their national in legal documents. it will be a huge blow to russian people in general. and we certainly cannot just ignore that . to other key topics that came up in the wide ranging interview were the expansion of nato and russia's relations with ukraine. it had had of a much anticipated summit between the demon putin and us president joe biden. next week, my colleagues union, nila rodriguez div discuss 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 intensity, 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 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 when you create nato expansion to expand it on as well. both of them are putting in the integrated vladimir putin says that now the argument for data expansion, strengthening nasal is rushes aggressive behavior. but like i said, look at the, the decades gone the last few decades. they were 2 cycles of nato expansion. while russia and the west wild, russia, and nato were friends,

while they were friendly with each other. and here, let me know 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 appropriate for union, as the nature is 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 pull into romania became nato member states, they quickly agreed to americans, missile defense systems been stationed on the territory. but the launch pads used for those systems can also be used offensive weaponry which can reach central russia, including moscow within a very short timeframe. 15 minutes. imagine if ukraine was to become a nato member, it would then take 7 to 10 minutes. if such missiles were stations they knew

articles ordinarily withdraws to reach moscow. is that the red line for us or not? no, russia has been attack enough times to either for nuclear weapons in 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 ukraine's prospect of joining nato 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 your grades turturro 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 gradient 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 line. you case education secretary has slammed the behavior of some oxford university students as simply absurd and stuff too. they took down a portrait of queen elizabeth the 2nd from the college common room claiming they find it offensive represents the country's colonial past. the president of the college in question says the picture was removed after a vote itself. the initiatives of students these days. british educational institutions typically don't display queens portrait though. some cambridge knocks

for colleges still do. the protest removal comes as the queen proposed amongst 70 years on the throne. next year we put the issue of the debates. 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 feels it the queen, but that it's something that they just don't believe. and they recommend colonialism. prevent 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 fair con, p for the comment, that is what has caused a prince was not that they making to make them feel welcome. it is the fact that it

was the slide to come, the queen the saying she represents the colonial past. and that's why they remove the portrait. there was no reason for them to causes fuss. they could just remove portrayed, but instead of going public and making this new pretty vile insult to up to the queen, they made their boat. 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 thing about it. i can't believe it's so much. so you come in, it's about a portrait. where is the outrage being about? the queen, who am please charles, you've looked over 1000 laws before that the past and been able to to change some of them. i think we're going to go back and mark received stuff. let's start with that. i didn't think that. but those extreme culture extreme is in, in, 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 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've never courage. the taishan workers in paris of overturned trash containers and stormed a district mass office during a city wide strike. the processes are angry about new labor reforms that trade unions say will reduce annual leave and increase working hours. the district messed in the rise of totally unacceptable. 70 measures were approved by president among microns cabinets in 2019 their aim, exclaimed, is to cut some 120000 civil service jobs. over a period of 3 years. we discussed the recent rest of the triggered in france, political commentator and elizabeth. it's not just essentially resistant to change that has to come. it's also be the thought 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 covered 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 the people with whom he is and popular and he still has a fairly important rump of people who will support him. he's very polarizing and divisive. in many ways. i think they all were it the all polls the so when over most but not all candidate. but it's much more now who want to look now got old that give him within the margin of error to 52 percent for him. 48 percent for hot and considering the size of the sample. it is within the margin of error. so yes, you were it coming up. be you in germany loc homes over who's laws, how supremacy with brussels threatening legal action against berlin story after the

break? ah, we're here in saint petersburg at the international economic form, and the topic of our program is the global economy. how is it changed since coven, for the winter, for the losers? what are the challenges and what is the opportunity? this is your media reflection of reality. the in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson lation, whole community. you going the right way? where are you being somewhere?

direct? what is truth? what is faith? in the world corrupted. you need to this end. ah, so join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah ah, we'll come back to the russian navy, carrying out operational exercises in the pacific ocean. some 20 warship submarines and support vessels as well as a number of vac craft taking part the vessels have traveled up to 4000 kilometers from the home basis. the main purpose of these exercises is gordon. i can coordinate a diverse task force at considerable distance such

if you knew paul was found, the pandemic has battered trust in the european union. the survey was commissioned by the european council. it found that citizens are unhappy with the blogs, early response to the pan demik with the use sluggish vaccination campaign in a number above the states. more than half of those survey said that they had low confidence in the union. many respondents also said they were even more disappointed in the national politics. while there's more trouble brewing for the block as a spat about the priority of e. u of a national law turns ugly brussels is threatening legal action against germany last year. the countries constitutional court rubbed the you up the wrong way by ruling the debt purchasing scheme might be illegal,

although it later reversed that decision. pita oliver has details. government on buying or 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 issued a legal rap on the nose to berlin after germany. 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 terminate for violation of fundamental principles of the 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 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 b. 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 by created by here ex

needle. so they enlarge the monetary at space and ab i, they create great risk for inflation. prizes have been rising for real estate everywhere. defect is very much reflected in the example of american italy. italy can place its had on better condition than the united states. 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 your union isn't 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 the knox 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 former boss, chancellor angle, and miracle. there are some suggesting the commission president stepping out from under claims you may be still somehow beholden to berlin. patrol of a r c in the german capital. european football, governing body has back tracked on its previous full approval of ukraine's controversial 2020 kit. and the statement to r t u a p said the slogan,

glory to the heroes must be now removed from the place shuts. let's get on the slide to marty's constantine scott, to join me. cost sure, how's you a for explain this decision. hello me. well, of course, you know, this is quite an unexpected move from wayfair to ban the use of this particular slogan on the newland field kit of tim ukraine for your a 2020 a currently there. sure, it's have to captions on them glory to ukraine and glory to the heroes. the problem is that these phrases have a dark history dating back to world war 2, when it was used by ukrainian nazi collaborators. degrees each other, the rti center required to wave asking for clarification, why the main ruling body of european football let this happen? and here the response you a for then carefully considered the recently added slogan on the inside of the color glory to our heroes. following further analysis, this specific combination of the 2 slogans is deemed to be clearly political in

nature. having historic and militaristic significance. this specific slogan on the inside of the shirt must therefore be removed for use in you. a for competition matches all the slogan on the inside, the one that now has to be removed is chlorine to the hearers. because as they explained, the combination of that with the other phrase can be deemed to be politically loading glory to ukraine, which are seen on the outside of the shirt can state. now the whole story around the ukranian football uniform has kicked up some controversy with the russian football association along with the russian foreign ministry. among those are raged by the design. this is another, it's hand by cave state propaganda to consolidate in the public consciousness. a slogan that many korean brought associate with the ukranian insurgent army lead based upon bundy era and their crimes during the 2nd world war. well, there's another thing about this uniform that is worth mentioning. there is a map of ukraine showing crime me as part of this country,

although the peninsula became a part of russia back in 2014 after referendum, which saw over 95 percent of the population voting in favor of the reunion with russia. ukraine as well as western country said they don't recognize that well, the vote, so the u wave has said that they have nothing against the map constantino's scarf with the day many thanks sir. cassius, thanks to you guys for tuning in thought the international updates on our top stories coming your way. just over 30 minutes. the who's the one of the persian gulf wealthiest country is,

has spend billions of dollars on state of the art stadiums. well look up this, the stadium is really taking shape. you can see the bowl and most of the stands now when we were here a little bit over a year ago, at the same construction site, it was just a foundation and a few metal structures. so it seems that time why this idea to use shipping containers as building blocks has definitely paid off. i mean, they're easy to assemble and easy to dismantle, just like playing with lego. for the 1st time in world history, the cd will be billed from shipping containers and what's more, it will be completely dismantled after the tournament. driven by remember, shaped by those in

me who dares think we dare to ask me. ah, do it again. it was just a little, a few of them actually got into an uncovered face men's clothing and showed host. it's a kind of us can feminism, but it's name is camina. ah, well above put a human someone with the whole model that of us is, was a little about on the job. but you know,

the ones that gave me she lives in one of the most dangerous and patriarchal provinces of afghanistan, cost gala lacey, which time i saw. sure, no problem, but i shall did that updated for you. and i'm glad you got the notes that she does. her best to fight for women's rights. i am. i wonder what you get coverage. you know what i do? i know that the season here by her nickname, the king was got much older than was really a good one day. and i one of the was to have a nice 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 dangerous shooting revealed what the l. v n p d really is and now it's part of the spin machine. most of the american public barely remembers that happened just shows you the power of money and las vegas. the powerful showed that true colors when the pen demik had the most contagious contagion that we've seen in decades. and then you have a mayor who doesn't care. so here's caroline goodman, offering the lives of the biggest. it has to be the control group to the shiny facades conceal a deep indifference to the people. why is going to be saved if they were to 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.

lawyer, john little as well acquainted with the federation. history has made it his mission to fight for justice for the victims of sexual abuse in sport. he has worked on countless cases in sports, such as gymnastics, diving, fencing and field hockey. but there's been more lawsuits against usa swimming than against any other federation. well these are, these are the stuff in swimming. this stuff is pretty old. this is 8292, which guy is me? i cannot keep track of all the swimmers that have called me over the years. there's too many, john has all kinds of documents in his files, such as this confession from 986, signed by a coach. i recur, declare of my own free will and volition that i have had sexual intercourse with
