see it on our to you the a staying investigation reveals that a host of america is riches billionaires part of pointing taxes, but the us revenue service team is more concerned with finding to leave the information. also coming up if you a 5 back tracks on a previous fall approval of ukraine is controversial kids for the european football championships. thing the slogan, laurie to the heroes must not be removed from the clear shirt and on the eve of the delayed euro, 2020 tournaments, world health organization wardens, the 11 host nations, a vigilant prevent. repeats of the co ops are seen last summer. ah . must go to the world. this is the news our an rti grip. have you with us or tell

the story? it's been revealed about a host of 1000000000 or is on america's rich list have been avoiding taxes despite a surge in their wealth. during the pandemic, the experts a comes from a u. s. independent journalist organization which received a leak from a whistleblower. the revenue service now that federal body has not launched an investigation, there was eager shutdown of reports, perhaps not the kind of prob, you might expect. 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 if i am for or 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 me a fortune this they believe me. i think you should be able to become a billionaire in a millionaire, but 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 ill 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 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 sounded 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 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 league, 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, as 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 house backtrack, donates previous full approval of ukraine's controversial kit for the euro. 2020 finals in a statement to our, to you a for said the slogan, glory to the heroes must be removed from the player. shirts. our teeth constantine, raj, cough explains why, 1st of all, this is quite unexpected. move from wayford to ban 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 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. 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. gore, it 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. 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. 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, 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 re union 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. well, euro 2020 kicks off in room tomorrow night. and us football fans flocked to stadiums across europe. the world health organization is urging people to remain vigilant. it's launched on information campaign alongside unicef, highlighting ways to reduce the risk of cobra. 19 infection there, warning that despite the tourism sector now slowly reopening, people still need to exercise caution when traveling and avoid confined or crowded spaces. my colleague re sue shave, spoke with rob butler, director of the w. h. o regional office for europe. he said people need to burn mind the optic in cases last summer. here we were in exactly the same place and we saw a phenomenal resurgence covered following the summer. so this time we want to really take that lesson. there are only 400000000. i say only 400000000 vaccine dosage

administered in the european region. that's basically represents about 28 percent of the european population that a vaccination with one dose backseat. so with, from safe we've just got to be so sensitive to be able to change our restrictions and responses in the course of the, of the academia as we see the academia g emerge. and in the past, i think it says that many member states of being slow to respond to those early signals because some, a sense campaign is essentially all about people staying safe. it's clear that we're all very excited. someone come, we want to be together. we want to celebrate, we want to celebrate around tournament gatherings, even festivals that are taking place. but it's important that we do starting a safe way. people have already sacrificed so much over the past year and more, you know, kids missing out on schooling. millions of jobs lost. if the restrictions continue,

do you think it's possible that could be some sort of fatigue, fatigue is happening? it is natural. we can't do anything about it in the sense that it's going to happen in any prolonged situation. crisis situation, such as we find ourselves at the moment. we've understood a w, h r with our member states with the country save in europe. this is all about how best we understand people engage them in the solutions that we're creating. allow them to live life. but reduce risk and also knowledge, the hardships because boy that's been hardships you case education secretary has slammed the behavior of some oxford university. students are simply absurd. after they took down a portrait of queen elizabeth the 2nd from their college's common room, claiming they find it offensive since that quote represents the country's colonial post. the president of the college sees the picture was removed after

a vote switch itself was the initiative of the students. the alan, it shouldn't be up to the student body to the side on such issues. however, one committee member who argued against the motion said, effectively counseling the queen, sent out a diner message. the removal comes out of the british head of state per person mark 7 decades on the through next year. we put the incident up for 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's something that they just don't believe. and colonialism represents 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 a lot of this kind of talk of disrespect and even know what you respect. 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 slides from the queen. the saying that she represents the colonial power. and that's why they remove the pitch 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 their vote. they took the portrait down, i think that people need to just respect that. and if it hadn't been blown up in the news that the way it was there wouldn't be the great thing about that. i can't believe it's so much. so any comments 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 talk about mark received stuff. let's start with that . i didn't think that there's extreme culture extremism 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 would never encourage to cross the channel from there. a man in south west france has been sentenced to 4 months in jail for slipping a manual ma crohn in the face. the incident happened earlier this week when the french leader was trying to drum up support for his pre election campaign. the group group these things, given a formal sentence for hiring, for, for in fact, the truthful sentence was for 18 months, 14 months. and that will be suspended for the next few years. now, this offence,

so a so committed against somebody in the public authority could have seen him behind bars for 3 years and find a 45000 years. some people may think that this is potentially lenient. however, thought sentence comes with other conditions. for the next 5 years, tara will not be allowed to hold any weapons here in france. he will be deprived of his specifics, right? so things just voting for the next 3 years and he will be banned from exercising or being in public office as well as that. the judge ordered that he had to undergo work over the next 2 years and also needed psychological care. now taro spoke at length to the court on thursday answering many questions that the judge posed. he described himself as a patriot and he talked about what was going through his head at the time when he

slept. president miko, in the call when we were waiting. we planned to do something striking to challenge him on political matters to take a yellow vest or french flag, but we changed our minds well at no point in the court hearing, did he dispute that she had just sorted the president of the french republic, the even describe. * that assault as being a roll them violent love. and he said that the point where did it be filled with disgust that seeing president black calling. when i saw his sympathetic and lying gaze, which wanted to make a voter of me, i was filled with disgust. i think my reaction was a little bit impulsive, but my words had an impact. i crohn and all the yellow vests, and the patriots. he had quite a lot to say about president mackerel, saying that he represented the fall of the country. so he talked about people feeling injustices under president michael's mandate. so what do we know about this

28 year old book? quite a lot from that poor hearing today. much of what he said confirmed of what we've been hearing in the french press for the last few days, including the fact that pitches at his home were found as him dressed up as well. because i asked him why that was. he said it was for showing his girlfriends, his friends, he described it as being a bad joke. he admitted to the court that he had given a copy of pitiless men was mine, come to a friend as a gift. he talked about the fact that he accessed illegal world war 2 sites. these are the sorts of sites which deny you the holocaust. and he said it wasn't because he was a revisionist history, but he didn't approve of censorship. and because they was sense that he wanted to go and see them and she talked about his links with the yellow vessel quite a myriad of information coming out in the court today. meanwhile, president michael has spoken for the 1st time about this assault. he said it was

important to put this in perspective. he knew a pinch of salt, but he didn't describe it as being violent and foolish. we must not pretend this incident was anything more than an isolated act. there are people in society to day who can be violent at one time or another. now there was a 2nd individual arrested falling back on president miko north, allegedly assaulting president michael. but for allegedly filming the incident and putting it on twitter off to see if he's not due to come to court until next year. and he faces all the charges supplementary, following a raid tony's home, where there have been allegations he held illegal firearms. but for the moment, damian taro, who's the man who slapped, present moscow and assaulted him while michael was on his 2 front silly this week, will now be off to jail. to spend the 1st of the next month behind boss

still ahead in the program. european lawmakers pushed for a sanctions against bella. ruth over the version of her ryan airplane, and they're also pointing the finger of russia. we're not under the break. oh, i use 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 loses? what are the challenges and what are the opportunity? this is your media reflection of reality. the in

a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson lation community. you going the right way or are you being direct? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted, you need to descend. the join us in the depths will remain in the shallows, use the 20 minutes into the program. welcome back. the european parliament has passed the resolution calling for further sanctions on balderas over the recent diversion of civilian aircraft from you or space. the document also calls for measures against

russia for supporting minsk the european parliament reminds president putin of the consequences of further supporting the regime of alexander lucas shanker, highlights in this context, the importance of introducing further sanctions against the russian federation for its role in supporting the by the russian regime, the european parliament calls for an urgent investigation into this unprecedented act of state terrorism against some e. u. registered civilian aircraft. such an investigation should explore the possibility that russian nationals played a part in the terrorist acts perpetrated by the bell of our regime. a recap of what happened on may 23rd, a ryan or a fly from greece to lithuania, was forced to make an emergency landing in bel roost over a bomb threat turned out to be a hoax. 2 people were then taken off the plane and arrested the editor of a bell, a russian pro opposition telegram channel on his russian girlfriend. european

countries responded by bombing flights to and from bella ruth and ordering plains to avoid the countries or a space trains of a russian rule in the diversion of the aircraft have not so far been backed up by any evidence. and the kremlin has denied any involvement. we got reaction on the resolution for martin dolt or a member of the hamburg parliament to playing russia or something red. so no evidence. this way you can go forward. this will not lead to a dialogue. all this will not lead to strengthen one for you all sure. claim to be sure thing to international and resort thing to human rights that are that different economically tied them to the union. so it will not out the civilian so much, but i think it's even strange to look at and it will not lead to kind

of regime change which is wanted by the union. we shall go deeper into another life when we see that the european union at the us try to do color revolution and ukraine and then georgia. now embed sanctions. and this is the contrary of the dialogue and as well the person who was put into prison from the error plate was someone who was working with the rec, recommend, which is a passion, recommend in the crying as he was a blog. so i think it's not the right way to bring down a plane to, to get to get to a person like that. the united states is due to complete its paula from afghan us down in 3 months time. but it's reportedly keeping open the option of her strikes beyond the date if caboose and danger of falling to the telephone. and the

secretary of state has even admitted it's not a complete withdraw. i don't think that the fact that our forces are withdrawing one. we're not withdrawing, we're staying the embassy staying. our programs are staying. we're working to make sure that other partners stay. we're building all of that up and whatever happens and understand if there is a significant deterioration. insecurity, that could well happen. we discussed this before. i don't think it's going to be something that happens from a friday to a monday. so i wouldn't necessarily equate the departure of our forces in july or august or by early september with some kind of immediate deterioration in the, in the situation of the u. s. military phase, it's taking more than half of its personnel onto of afghanistan since april. the polar was supposed to be concluded on may 1st after 2 decade presence in the

country. but joe biden pushed the deadline back to september 11th, which will mark exactly 20 years since the 911 terrorist attacks that led to the u . s. war on terror. i'm happy to welcome onto the program, not brian becker from the anti war answer coalition to get his thoughts. hi brian. the u. s. he is reportedly ready to bomb capital. if it's a risk of falling to the taliban, that would directly contradict an earlier pledge to end error as well as grown support. so it's not a complete withdrawal. is it? well, the media reports about the u. s. considering air strikes should come, will be threatened with a bet take over by the taliban. this report indicates that there is a fierce debate going on within the pentagon and within the administration. and one

would expect there to be in debate because by exiting afghanistan finally, which the u. s. should do. and so also an acknowledgement that the u. s. has lost the war. if the u. s. has been bombing taliban positions while it was occupied with large numbers of military forces and u. s. military bases in afghanistan for 2 decades. and that did not defeat the taliban. why would the resumption of air strike after the u. s. is gone and after u. s. air bases are removed from the country, meaning that those, those planes have to come from the gulf. why would that be effective militarily? so what's happening is, and it's a rhetorical question, of course. so what's happening is, the pentagon and the by the ministration are now pointing fingers and debating and trying to provide some semblance of a plan b when they leave and should the country while to the taliban. if in fact, the afghan military can sustain itself,

which is very likely. so i don't think that this is really a plausible or valid military strategy. maybe it's a face saving measure to kill some more people and f ganeth then. but the fact of the matter is, the u. s. has lost the war, and the u. s. is leaving, which they had to do eventually. but it's never easy for politicians or generals to take responsibility. thus the approximations by blinking and others that some how the us president will still remain. i don't think so. it just to follow. all right, on your point about the taliban. they were furious when the u. s. miss, they may 1st deadline. launching a series of deadly attacks if there was a suicide bombing cabal. it kills some 27 people. how do you think they're going to view the latest signals coming from washington? i think the taliban know full well what the real relationship of forces is on the ground in afghanistan. this kind of media generating announcements that the u. s.

may be prepared to carry out the air strikes in the event that the taliban will could be seen and tell him will would be viewed by the taliban in much the same way as the vietnamese in 1975 would have viewed american proclamation that they weren't going to abandon their south vietnamese, l, y, in the event that the city of saigon was. while another words, these are words without substance. and again, if the pentagon carries out air strikes again, it's going to be logistically difficult because they don't even have bases. they won't have bases in the country. so how can they have a sustained, effective air campaign after they've left against the telephone and tell them we'll realize that what they're talking about is space. saving an explanations for political purposes at home, or perhaps to suit the fears of their african allies. but nothing more, brian. we've talked about this before,

but i think it's worth revisiting just briefly, especially as we are a few months. i don't know if all us trips do leave as promised on september 11th. what happens next? do you expect to see a security breach on can the african government hold dollars? well, the rules of engagement will change for the military right now. the rules of engagement are slightly restrained, in fact, by the american military presence. so perhaps the african military government, it seems to be already engaged in more sort of unrestrained air strikes against their enemy, the television. but the reality is in most of the urban areas outside of come rule, including in the south including kind of the taliban are making steady progress. and even now, even before the u. s. is left is no longer providing air support in rural areas. that means the taliban basically have freedom of movement. they have the military initiative. i do want to say though,

there is another element in this which is that it's not simply the taliban fighting the afghan government. there is also isis and isis took responsibility for the destruction of the british american non governmental organization that was there doing land my clearing. they blew it up yesterday. a lot of people were killed. so it's not simply taliban and may not simply be isis that there may be many, many armed organizations. and now sort of competing for who will control control what part of the territory of afghanistan. it's a very important point to make. thank you for doing so. brian becker from the anti war answer coalition. much appreciate your time. hear about our stories are shipping up for now, but don't go too far more great programs get there. start in moments. good bye for know me. the rather driven by

dreamer shaped by those in me dares think we dare to ask the 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 and sport. he has worked on countless cases in sports such as gymnastics, diving.
