decades advance mega projects most go been for 2 and 21, the largest indian national congress on make it said he development is our headlines here. when i see a spring investigation reveals that a host of america's richest 1000000000 ads are avoiding taxes. that the us revenue service seems more concerned with finding out who actually leaked the information you a for back to tracks on its previous full approval of ukraine's controversial 2020 kit thing. the slogan, glory to the heroes must be now removed from the players. and also university students remove an image of queen elizabeth the 2nd from ecologist common room. so i think it's linked to the colonial partners to move that's been condemned by the countries education minister as so we put the issue up for debate. the queen is the head of our country. so i think it's a great, really,

really great shame to come to this. they haven't seen the cleaners they make the poetry jobs. i think that people need to just ah, your tommy, perfect for the beginning of this, our program here. we're not going to national, you're supposed a worldwide news headlines for you. it's not being revealed that a host of villiad as on americas rich list to be no voiding taxes, despite a huge surge in their wealth. they expose a, comes from a u. s. independent journalist organization which received a leak from a whistleblower at the revenue service. this body has now lost an investigation though perhaps not exactly the kinds you might expect. as all his eagle has done off now investing. 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 putting 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 spell these failed to conjure a real world result. pay kill 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's 25 fattest cats gave up to the i r. s. and if you want low look no further than jeff bases, 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 with 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 hunter 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 release and 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. many members of congress are very rich. 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 as 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 1st at the slogan, glory to the heroes must be now removed from the play of shots. getting an explanation for us now also correspondent konstantin off. first 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 public outcry and rti sans request. the way it's asking for clarification, why the main ruling body of european football let this happen and here's 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 you 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, degrees each other. the slogan on the inside, the one that now has to be removed is glory to the heroes. because as they explain,

the combination of that with the other phrase can be deemed to be politically loaded forward to ukraine, which is seen on the outside of the shirt. can stay 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. i've raged by the design . this is another, it's hand by cave state propaganda to consolidate in the public consciousness slogan that many korean brought associate with the ukranian insurgent army lead based upon bun, dara, and there are 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. ukraine in football authorities defended their decision, saying this will strengthen the players. they will quote unquote, wide for the whole of ukraine. now the thing is that the but in solar 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 countries said that they don't recognize,

developed, but given the context, putting an image of a contest to 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. dimitri passed off, who insisted that sports must stay out of politics. by the way, for said that they have nothing against the map. well, it's not just you phrase, football show that russia has been objecting to glad to be a potent has explained why he thinks key adds new, dropped nationality law, couldn't danger millions. this was a wide raging interview, which you also left out of the continued expansion of next will have the highlights of just a bit later in this program is education. secretary has slammed the behavior of some oxford university students as simply absurd. the after they took down a portrait of queen elizabeth a 2nd from their colleges, common room claiming they found it offensive since it represents the country's

colonial past. the president of the college and questions says the pitcher was removed off for a vote, which itself for the initiative of the students. these days, british educational institutions typically don't display the queen's portrait. there are some cambridge on oxford college. i still do. the protest removal comes as the queen prepared to mock 7 decades on the throne next year. so we put the whole 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 you know, everybody feel that the queen. but for that it's something that they just don't believe in. their colonialism represents 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 another 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 the but they making to make them feel unwelcome. it is the fact that it was the slight upon the queen, the saying she represents the colonial pass and that's why they remove the portrait . there was no reason for them to causes 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, they took the portrait out. 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 it. i don't believe it's so much. so any comments about a portrait, whereas the outrage being about the queen, who am please charles, you've looked over 1000 laws. it will that be passed and been able to, to change some of them. i think we're going talk about can mark received stuff. let's start with that. i didn't think that those extreme culture extreme is in,

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 are you congressmen has been sending different messages to different voters depending on the songs on the palestinian israeli conflict. a democratic brad schneider described us as terrorists and emails sent out to the pro israel cam. but he remove this description from those sent to palestine supporting recipients to them. he also wrote about his heartache for civilian lives, lost on both sides. whereas to israel's supporters, he said he condemned the hamas rocket attacks in the strongest possible terms. of the 2 versions of his campaign. emails came to light after the pro palestinian

letter was sent to a pro israel correspondent and we spoke to off in vulgar, a former libertarian party presidential candidate. he says, efforts to police both sides only undermine photo 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 either just give israel direct aid, military aid weapons 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 in 4 and 8 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. 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. i'm more still come here on the program, including the you and germany loc bones over whose laws should have supremacy with brussels now threatening legal action against berlin. it's mildly complicated, but peter oliver will set it straight for us. just a moment, quick break and ah ah, is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson lation community. are you going the right way or are you being

somewhere direct? what is true? what is faith? in the world career, did you need to this end? ah, so join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. i join me every 1st day on the alec salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world. the politics sport business. i'm show business, i'll see you then me the, the news i or to briefly get some other

headlines for you from all around the world. and 1st of some news about the russian navy, which is carrying out operational exercises in the pacific. some 20 warships, submarines, and support vessels as well as a number of aircraft are all taking part. the vessels have travel up to 4000 kilometers from the home basis. the main purpose of these exercises is coordinating a diverse task force at considerable distance. clashes in the peruvian capital 4 days after the presidential run off with the vote to close to cold, intimate allegations of ballad fraud with the electoral commission and reviewing some of the canons just on the left. when canada petro castillo, is leading by less than a percent on wrestling still in the columbia capital, where thousands came out to voice their anger at the government. it will have a host of gripes from new tax reforms on poverty to police brutality and dire health care. a 6 weeks of similar unrest have seen 21 people die.

a new poll found that the pandemic has battered 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 responds to the pandemic with the use sluggish vaccination campaign as well. the 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 their national policies or their interests or construct a couple of say, form agree, government adviser on east west relations says that the fundamental disconnect between the thinking in brussels and citizens across the block from there is john, so this fall and the she can do a divorce of a mighty edge without live without passion here an impressive discrepancy between european believing in word to the appreciate ideology and born and she will remain

european institutions. they do policies which are against the rule of the 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 the word european would like to to meanwhile, there's more trouble growing for the block as a spot about the priority of e. you over national law tons ugly now with brussels threatening legal action against germany. last year, the countries that constitutional court rubbed the you up the wrong way by ruling that is debt purchasing scheme might be illegal. later reversed that decision of peter oliver now shedding some light on what is essentially a bit complicated 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 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 to german forties. the commission is therefore decided today to send a letter form a notice to germany 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. 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 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 the 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 space and ab i, they create great risk for inflation. prices have been rising for real estate

everywhere. the fact is very much reflected in the example of american italy. italy can place it's her bonds at 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 that 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 do you can 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 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 the commission president stepping out from under claim she may be still somehow beholden to berlin patrol of a r c and the german capital out of line with basic international human law. that's how the russian president has described a draft ukrainian law on digital people. and this provides protection on self determined rights to some of ukraine's ethnic groups, though not to others, not includes millions of russians, and a major interview on russian estate tv, vladimir putin explain why the law could pose

a threat to that. nice the do you think that i've seen this draft and one of the articles and it said that native admitted 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 pulled from gary. and so it's absolutely unacceptable. and it'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, as well as who are the key topics that came up in that wide ranging interview. there were that is the expansion of nato and russia. relations with ukraine. now an

air ahead of a much anticipated summit between invited me put in and joe biden next week. and my colleagues union, o'neill, and motor garcia discussed the interview. one of the chief concerns that glad me has with, with this new draw flow, is that it is reminiscent of the practices and methods of nazi germany, which is dividing people based on that genetic makeup. that atlas, if affording some groups, protection and perhaps prosecuting others. and let me putin here said the what's, what's a kid of mixed heritage with mix pads. what is, what is he to choose as he's got a russian father and a ukrainian 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 in ukraine, nato expansion mer to expanded on as well. both of them are putting in the interview. vladimir putin says that now the argument for nato expansion,

strengthening nasal, which is russia's 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 put 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 union, as the nature of expansion and his infrastructure getting closer to us as borders. if the next dream 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 for offensive weaponry, which can reach central russia, including moscow within a very short timeframe. 15 minutes. imagine if ukraine would become a nato member. it would then take 7 to 10 minutes. if such missiles were stations they knew. hark of. ordinarily with ross to reach moscow is that the red line rose or not, the russia has been attack enough times to either for nuclear weapons and of odds of an international coalition. encroaching, moving close, inclusive, russia to start bringing alarm bells and on the snow. let me know 2 talks about your grades, prospects of joining nato obsession really objectively speaking in last several years here he remark on one incident several days ago with barton and the ukranian president spoke by phone. they issue 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 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 not 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 in nathan. so let me put and says the, those, those are red line for russia. the need to infrastructure, and perhaps even nuclear weapons moving into ukraine for russia. that is an absolute red lot. just to meet top stories for this, our life on our team to national. thank you for sharing some of your thoughts without tara moscow. we're back soon in about 32 minutes.

ah, oh, i me. one of the worst in 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 vegas shooting revealed what? the l v n p. d really is and now it's part of the spin machine to the american public barely remember that it happens. that just shows you the power of money in las vegas. the powerful showed that true colors when the pen demik hit 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 vegas residence. to be the control group to the shiny

facades conceal a deep indifference to the people by going to 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 here with our annual summer solution where we know not on the problem, but on the solution the, i don't know. i mean, there are some steps in there were rescuing the food that they were not scavenging or, or where were rescuing resources that are still good. this is best buy march 21st, which is in 2 days. all of these potatoes, pianos, onions,

all of these came from waste around sources. this is great for me because i'm always looking for a way to give things away. doctor, because the tax laws, you know, definitely do benefit the wealthier people and our society. so it makes sense for them to throw it out right off, rather than give it to somebody who could use it, because then that person is not going to buy it. ah, well kind of to the alex, i mean sure where we look at the new economic initiatives of the rich countries club of the g 750 came in the unlikely and ideal accessing of carpet pain cord.

both the g 7 leaders who will ratify an agreement for minimum corporate tax rates for impact on transnational companies. if there's a welcome big through against 10 giant tax avoidance positioning or the car up since you are the rich get richer, or perhaps it's a bit of forth. in advance of the summit, we talk to 2 political economists who know the answers for the member of parliament fees. louis and george can have been under u. k. taxation specialist professor richard murphy. that's key interview coming up soon. but 1st to retrieve theme of a message in a sponsor i show last week featuring jim shannon n p, and lord wiggly john fisher says, good discussion. and i am of a mind to welcome any plan evening for a celtic blog among nations. leaving this yuki, it's not the same and it's not supposed to be more. bowman says i've called that the best you know, to keep them for a very long time. fisma best says give island but.
