[000:00:00;00] ah ah, but headlines are not big investigation revealed that host of america's richest billionaires are avoiding taxes like us revenue service, seem as much more concerned with finding out who actually leaked the information about trucks on its previous full approval of ukraine's controversial 2020 kit saying the slogan at glory, 2 heroes must now be removed from the players and offered university students removing the image of queen elizabeth the 2nd back college is a common room, citing and links to the colonial par. move that has been condemned by the countries

education minister as of the issue. now up for debate. the queen is the head of so i think it's a great, really, really great shame to come to this. they haven't seen just creating that a major both. they took the poetry down, i think people need to just i thought it's a pleasure to happy with us for the program today. of course it's out the international i'm role receive. sure. it's been revealed that a host of billy and as on america's rich list have been avoiding taxes despite a huge surge in their wealth. they expose a comes from a u. s. independent journalist organization, which received a leak from the revenue service. this body has now lost and investigation that perhaps not the kinds you might expect as anti ecos donald. now explain. 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 lead some special interests, including myself in all fairness is going to cost 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, 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 remote this dude, he founded so concerned about the upper crust of american society. not paying that

fast share. well, that was before the league, his 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. 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. european footballs governing body has back tracked on its previous full approval of ukraine's controversial 2020 kit and a statement to r t. u. a for said the slogan, glory to the heroes must now be removed from the play as shirts will learn more about this. right now and across lives, watches constantino roscoe joining us, cost you can you tell us how has a you way for explain this decision? yeah, sure, rory, you know, 1st of all,

this is quite unexpected. move from your way for the band. the use of this particular slogan on a newly unveiled kid of team ukraine for year 2020. because at 1st they approved it and they changed their mind only after a public outcry. as you mentioned, rti sands request the wave asking for clarification, why the main ruling body of european football let this happen? and here their 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. currently your craning football shirts have to captions on them glory to ukraine

and glory to the heroes. the problem is that these phrases have dark history, dating back to world war 2, when it was used by ukrainian nazi collaborators to greet each other. the slogan on the inside, the one that now has to be removed, it is glory to the heroes because as they explain, the combination of that with the other phrase can be deemed to be politically loaded. gore it to ukraine, which is seen on the outside of the shirt, can state the whole story around the ukranian football uniform has kicked up some controversy with the russian football union along with the russian foreign ministry among those outraged by the design. this is another 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. there is another thing about this. sure. it worth mentioning there is a map of ukraine on it would show its crimea as part of the country. creating football authorities defended their decision,

saying this will strengthen the players. they will quote unquote, fight for the whole of ukraine. now the thing is that the but insular became a part of russia back in 2014 after referendum which saw over 95 percent of the population voting in favor of the reunion. but the russia, ukraine as well as western countries, said that they don't recognize, developed, but given the context, putting an image of a contest region on a football jersey can be also seen as to have some political message to it. that's according to several russian football officials and even russian president spokesman dmitri passed off, who insisted that sports must stay out of politics. but the wave has said that they have nothing against the map or at constant rush coff. thank you for your cranes. football show that russia has been objecting to vladimir putin has explained what he thinks the key of new draft of nationality law could endanger 1000000. this was a wide ranging interview in which you also lashed out at nato expansion. we'll have

to highlight just a bit later in this program. for now the u. k. is educated, secretary has slammed the behavior of some oxford university students. that's quote, simply absurd. that's after they took down a portrait of queen elizabeth the 2nd from their college, a common room, claiming they found it offensive since it represents the country's colonial past. now the president of the college in question says the pitcher was removed after a vote, which itself was the initiative of the students. these days, british educational institution is typically don't display the queen's portrait of some cambridge and oxford colleges still do. the protest removal comes as the queen prepared to mock 7 decades on the throne next year. so we put the issue up for debate. 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 he speaks of not everybody feel that the queen,

but that it's something that they don't believe in their 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. the comment that is what has caused the prince was not the but they making to make them feel welcome. it is the fact that it was the slides on the queen the same. she represents the colonial past and that's why they remove the pitch. the portrait there was no reason for them to cause this fuss . they could just remove portrait, but instead of going public and making this new pretty vile insult to up to the queen, they made their vote. they took the portrait 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 it. i don't believe it's so much. so he comments about a portrait, whereas the outrage being about the queen, who am please charles, you've looked over 1000 laws in the past and been able to judge to change some of them. i think we're going to talk about mark, receive stuff. let's start with that. i don't think there's 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 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 a us congressman has been sending rather different messages to different voters, depending on that stance on the palestinian israeli conflict. a democrat abroad schneider describe hamas as terrorists,

an email set out to the pro israel. com. but he removed this is this description from those sent to the palestine supporting recipients to them. he also wrote about his heartache for civilian lives, lost on both sides. whereas to israel supporters, he said he condemned hamas rocket attacks in the strongest possible terms. the 2 versions of his campaign emails came to light after the pro palestinian letter was sent to a pro. israel correspondent, we spoke to her often devora a former libertarian party presidential candidate. he says, efforts to please both sides only undermine vote will trust. it's fairly common for people in american politics, unfortunately, to try to pander to both sides of one issue. it's well known that the israel palestine conflict is a contentious issue. and officially, the american government is supporting israel by taking american tax money and using

it to either just give israel direct aid, military aid weapon support. you name it, the number of pro palestine and pro israel voters is much smaller than the number of people who just want to end for an aid entirely. when you play both sides offense, the way he did, you're going to basically seem like a pander, or you're going to seem like you don't have any moral principles any moral conviction. now this is not just a problem for one individual who's the problem for the entire party. because democratic representatives and republican representative from the state, local and federal level have been doing this for a while. they've been trying to play both sides of the issue, realizing they want to leave alienate anybody, come here on the program on see the e u and germany locking horns over who is laws have supremacy. but brussels threatening legal action against that story. and many more about 65 seconds.

ah. when i went to the wrong room, just don't move out date because the after an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves well, depart. we choose to look for common ground in hello, driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me dares

thing. we dare to ask me. ah, ah ah . quarter past the hour here in the russian capital or the russian navy is cowering out operational exercises in the pacific ocean. some 20 warships, submarines on support vessels as well as a number of crop. they're all taking part. the vessels have traveled up to 4000 kilometers from their home bases. the main purpose of these exercises is a coordinating diverse task force at considerable distance. and you told us, found that the pandemic has back to trust in the e u. the survey was commissioned by that of the european council. it found that

citizens are unhappy with the blocks early response to the pandemic. and with the e use sluggish vaccination campaign. and a number of member states, over half of those surveyed said they had low confidence in the union. but many respondents also said they were even more disappointed in the national politics. while the demetrius of constant couple as a former greek government adviser on east west relations, says there's a fundamental disconnect between the thinking in brussels and citizens across the block from there is john. so this fall and the ship can do a divorce of mighty edge without live without passion. we have here an impressive discrepancy between what europeans are believing and what is the appreciate ideology and policy or remain european institutions. they do policies which are against the people system occupant. but unfortunately, we don't have

a project in our political projects for radical different european union because this one is in europe is not the union and it is not working. and it is not also corresponding to what europeans would like to to, to meanwhile, there's been more trouble brewing for the block as a spot about the priority of e. you over national law tons ugly, and brussels now threatening legal action against germany. last year, the countries constitutional court rubbed up the you the wrong way, by rooting that his debt purchasing scheme might be illegal that we did later reversed that decision. let's get an explanation now. his correspondent peter oliver government fund, buying or put it much simpler the buying 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 to 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, if the german for it is 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 the conflict rises 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 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. the effect is very much reflected in the example of american italy. italy can place its her bones at better conditions than thing agitators. 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 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 la carte. through your union isn't, remains a community based on law. and the last word on the law is always spoken. in luxembourg, it does seem as though the german government side are willing to take then knock 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 out of lined with basic international human law. that's how the russian president has described a draft ukrainian law on indigenous people. this provides protection on self determination rights to some of ukraine's ethnic groups, though not to others, including millions of russians, and a major interview on russian state tv. a lot of may put and explain why the law could pose a threat to them. nice thing that i've seen this draft and one of the articles and it saves that native nifty, 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 during that wide ranging into view that of the expansion of nato and russia relations with ukraine. it ed ahead of a much anticipated summit between vladimir putin and the american president that's occurring next week. and my colleagues, unit, o'neill, and motor gas did discuss the interview. one of the chief concerns of glad

recruiting has, 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 atlanta city. 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 a ukranian mother. does he choose russia, who ukrainian, because he'll be afforded protections with one and with the other he will perhaps 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 more expanded on as well, both of them are putting in the interview. vladimir putin says that now the argument for nato 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. wow. 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 removed those nuclear weapons. but somehow, when the united states and need 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 a diesel union, as the nato's expansion and his infrastructure getting close to his borders. it's next dream important issue for the security of all washington for country. it has a practical significance for us. why is that? when poland romania became nato member states, they quickly agreed to america, missile defense systems been stationed on the territory. but the launch pads used for those systems can also be used for 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 stay near. hark of ordinary patrols to reach moscow. is that the red line for us or not? the russia has been attack enough times either for, for nuclear weapons and of odds of an international coalition. encroaching, moving close, inclusive, russia to start bringing alarm bells and only snoops let me know, 2 talks about ukraine prospects 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 you could start to integrity and 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 navy. 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 when needed. 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. and that's just about the majority of your news caught here for this our, on our, to international many more of your headline still to come on this program already a busy day for your news. we're back in 33 minutes.

the one of the worst m. a 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 casino owners. the dangerous shooting revealed what? the l v m. p. d really is and now it's part of the spin machine. most of the american public barely remembers that had happened. that 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 residents to be the control group. to the shiny facades conceal a deep indifference to the people by going to say that they would 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. the. i don't know, i mean there's 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, daniels, onions. all of these came from waste ground sources. this is great for me because i'm always looking for a way to give things away. 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,

then that person is not going to buy it. the the well common le harris makes her 1st foreign trip as vice president. and let's be kind and say it didn't go so well. she made a very controversial statement to the people of guatemala and didn't do much better in a sit down interview with nbc lester holt. we'll talk about it with our panel and a judge in california has overturned the states ban on assault weapons, a band that went into effect over 30 years ago. we'll talk to a resident of the golden state who was instrumental in making that decision happen for rock obama. the former president of united states is that it again attacking conservative media. this time he did it on

a very liberal media network and he use the same interview to push a big lie about donald trump. and to talk about u. f. o 's, i'll show you what he said. and natasha suite has some good news in the battle against alzheimer's disease. the 1st treatment in 2 decades is soon to be available, but it comes with some hesitations will fill you in. i'm steve balls burg in for scotty now use on today's edition of news news use right here on our t america. ah, i want to be clear to folks in this region. we're thinking about making that dangerous track for the united states. mexico border. do not come

do not come. i vice president come on harris in guatemala telling citizens they are
