then that person is not going to buy it in the headlines here on our tea seeing investigation reveals that a host of america, richards to 1000000000 ads are avoiding taxes. the u. s. revenue service seems much more concerned with finding out how the information was actually leaked away from back tracks on its previous full approval of ukraine's controversial 2020 kit. saying the slogan of glory to the heroes must now be removed from the players. and also with university students removing the image of queen elizabeth the 2nd from the college is common fighting. it's linked to the colonial path. it's a move that's being condemned by the countries education minister. so here on our tea, we put the issue up for debate. the queen is the figure head of our country. so i think it's a great, really great, great shames,

come to this. they haven't been creating that a major vote. they took the ball trade out. i think that we need to just respect that. i give you to join us on this thursday here at into national. we've lined up your top headlines and here they go. it's been revealed that a host of 1000000000 as of america's rich list have been avoiding taxes despite a huge surge. and the wealth of the experts 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 that perhaps not the kinds you might expect as are these ecos. donald's now explains. 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, is you 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. 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. 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 that fast 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 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 to 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 . in a statement to r t u. a for said the slogan, glory to the heroes must now be removed from the players shots. he is constantly around golf explains why. first of all, this is quite unexpected. move from wayford to banned 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 waive.

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 ukraine in 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 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 funds era 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, fight 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 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. by the way, for said that they have nothing against the map. the euro 202021 will be kicking off in rome friday. night and found a flock to stadiums all across europe. the world health organization is urging people to stay safe is lost on information campaign alongside unit step to reduce the risk of cobra infection. that warning of that despite tourism. now opening up, people still need to exercise caution when traveling and avoid confined or crowded space as well. short time ago i spoke with rob butler, director of the w. h o regional office for europe. he said, europe needs to avoid repeating the mistakes of last summer. last year we were in exactly the same place. we saw a phenomenon resurgence,

kobe following the summer. so this time we want to really take that lesson. there are only 400000000, i say only 400000000 vaccine doses administered in the european region. that basically represents about 28 percent of the european population that are vaccinated with one dose of vaccine. so far from safe we've just got to be so sensitive to be able to change our restrictions and our responses in the course of the, of the academia ology. as we see this academia, l g emerge. and in the past, i think it's supposed to say many member states, i've been slowed to respond to that as early signals. the summer sentence campaign is essentially all about people saying it's clear that we're all very excited. someone come, we want to be together. we want to celebrate one celebrate around tournaments, gatherings, even festivals, that is taking place. but it's important that we do so in

a safe way. the u. k. is education secretary has slammed the behavior of some oxford university students as simply absurd. the thought they took down a portrait of queen elizabeth the 2nd from their college is common room, claiming they found it offensive since it represents the country's colonial past. the president of the college, a question that says the picture was removed off for a vote, which itself was the initiative of the students. these days. british educational institutions typically don't display the queen's portrait or some cambridge on oxford college or still do. the protest removal comes as the queen prepared to mock 7 decades on the throne next year. and so here on the international we put the whole issue of 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 that it's something that they just don't believe

. and they recommend colonialism. events 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, they took the portrait out. i think that people need to just respect that and if it hadn't been blown up in the news the way it was, there wouldn't be the great thing about it. i can't believe it so much. so he

comments about a portrait, whereas the outrage being about the queen, who and prince 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 to go back and mark received stuff. let's start with that. i don't think that 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 extremis fields that i would never encourage us. congressman has been sending different messages to different voters depending on their stance on the palestinian israeli conflict. democrat brad schneider describe hamas as terrorists an email sent out to the pro israel cam. but he removed 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 support, as he said, he condemned hamas rocket attacks in the strongest terms possible. the 2 versions of his campaign emails came to light after the pro palestinian letter was sent to a pro. israel correspondent we spoke with arvin voe ra, a former libertarian party presidential candidate. he says, efforts to please both sides only undermine boat of trust. it's fairly common for people and 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 quarter past down here at moscow. now, in brief, some headlines from all around the world pictures right here for you. that's the russian navy, carrying out operational exercise is way out in the pacific. some 20 warships, submarines on support vessels, including lots of air. cross are all taking part. the vessels have traveled up to 4000 kilometers from their home bases. the main purpose of these exercises is coordinating a diverse task force, a considerable distance and class raising the peruvian capital 4 days after the

presidential run off with a vote still too close to cold. it's amid allegations of ballad fraud. as it stands, the left of the candidate head, gro castillo, is leading by less than a percent address. also in the colombian capital, where thousands came out to voice their anger at the government of people to have a host of gripes from new tax reforms on poverty to police brutality and issues to do with health care. as 6 weeks of similar unrest have seen 21. people died. a new polls found that the pandemic has battered trust in the e. u. survey was commissioned by that of the european council. it found the citizens are unhappy with a blocked early response to the pandemic with the use sluggish vaccination campaign as well. and a number of member states, over half of those, surveyed that they had low confidence in the union, that many respondents also said they were even more disappointed in that national

politics. well, demetrius, a common start, a couple as a former greek government adviser on east west relations. so as, as a fundamental disconnect between the thinking in brussels and citizens across the european block from there is john. so this fall and this is again, do a divorce, mighty edge without live without passion. 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 rule of the people system occupant. but unfortunately, we don't care project and our political projects for adequate or different european union because of this one is in europe, is not the union engineer is not working. and it is not also corresponding to the word european. i would like to talk to you all there is more trouble brewing for

the block as a spot about the priority of e. you over national law turns ugly brussels threatening legal action now against germany. see, last year the countries of constitutional court rubbed the you up the wrong way by ruling that its debt purchasing scheme might be illegal. late, it reversed that decision. i know it sounds rather complicated. let's get some clarification here. here's our correspondent peter on government bond 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 issue to legal wrap on the nose to berlin after germany is constitutional call dead to challenge the european central banks. money printing plans. after having conducted a detailed analysis and following an informal dial appears to german forties,

the commission is therefore decided today to send a letter formal notice to terminate 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. be purchasing some 2.6 trillion euro worth of bonds. and all the securities between 20152018, with the intention of providing stimulus to the economies of the 19 e. u. member states that use the euro. this is where that conflict arises because the european court of justice in luxembourg describe the bond buying program is legit and legal that was then questioned by a group of german conservatives and euro skeptics, who weren't sure about where and how german taxpayer money was being spent eventually, the $16.00 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 as 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 ad space. and that by they create great risk for inflation. prizes have been rising for real estate everywhere. defect is very light reflected in the example of american italy. italy can place its had lungs and better condition than the united states is america. there must be something wrong. this is a distortion of competition, which does not pay tribute to the real risks of italian bonds and american bands. i think that the main challenge of that ruling is that the european cation 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 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 is and remains a community based on law. and the last to it on new 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 picking off to her former boss, chancellor angle america. there are some suggesting the u 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 line with basic international human law. that's how the russian president has described a draft ukrainian law on indigenous people, is, provides protection and self determination rights to some of ukraine's ethnic groups, though not to others, including millions of russians in a major interview on russian state tv. let me 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 admitted, cannot be discriminated against the general legal principle that whatever is not prohibited is legal. does that mean non native ethnicities can be discriminated against? that includes russians, but also romanians pulls 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 nationality in legal documents. it will be a huge blow to russian people in general. and we certainly cannot just ignore that if we want to other key topics that came off in that wide ranging into view that of the continued expansion of nato and russia's relations with ukraine. and ed ahead of a much anticipated summit between let me put in and joe biden occurring next week. that for the meantime, my colleagues, unit o'neill, and motor gas dia discuss the interview. one of the chief concerns that glad reporting 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 there at the city. affording some groups, protection and perhaps prosecuting others. and let me put in here said the what's,

what's the kid of mixed heritage with mixed pads. what is, what is he to choose as he's got a rushing father and a ukrainian mother? does he choose russian 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 more expanded on as well. both of them are putting in the integrated vladimir putin says that now the argument for data expansion, strengthening nasal, which is russia's aggressive behavior. but like we approved and 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 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 a diesel union, as nato's expansion and his infrastructure getting close to his borders, it's 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 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 with 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 to either 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 snow. let me know 2 talks about ukraine's 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 credit to integrity as the ukrainians claim that they also do. but and 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. and he stories you think you might have missed or you want more details on just log on to r t dot com. the meanwhile, the next program returns and 132 minutes. oh, we're here in saint petersburg and the international economic board. 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 are the opportunities

one of the persian gulf wealthiest country is, has spend billions of dollars on state of the art stadiums. well, look at 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 a world history, the stadium will be billed from shipping containers and what's more, it will be completely dismantled after the turn in

long today, shocking allegations of sexual abuse were revealed. involving a former top us figure skating coach being circle. that's it. so do you listen, you don't stop all external response. me haven't get into the in recent years, there's been a wave of revelations about sex abuse in sport, or 30 all over the world. people are speaking out in 265, actually have brought allegations of sexual abuse against larry and nasser the us olympic gymnastics, team doctor, i know now, so you really are a child molester and a master manipulator. more sexual abuse, accusations were raised by a group of shop before coach or brazil,

gymnastics teams has been accused of sexually assaulting dozens of young athlete. sexual abuse is rife in all areas of sport, individual and team sports, amateur and professional sports. the athletes are often abused by the very people who help them when metals me. she was, she was my by everybody. so why would somebody believe me? i was just a little girl coming from by irrespective of gender. one sports person in 7 was sexually abused. when they were under 18, the price paid to, to, to achieve that really was, was found too much. who knew? what makes the mill you of sports so favorable to sexual abuse? linda fish and nic pedal freely they would see. and this good kind of find

portland cod in this team to support indian finds on programs or if you're keeping tional as close as long as the metals in money keep coming, they don't care g. we explored the issue of sexual abuse in several countries and several sports trying to get to the root of the problem. in fact, the why, from government to the i o c. no one seems to be able to stop the terrible damage being inflicted on young people. ah i i oh, our investigation begins in the.
