the in the this hours headline stories a sing investigation reveals not a host of america has riches. billionaires are avoiding taxes, but the u. s. revenue service seems more concerned with finding the information coming up you a far back track. so on a previous bowl approval of ukraine's controversial kit for the european football championship thing. the slogan, laurie to the hero, is, must not be removed from the clear shirt. and on the eve of the delay during 2020 tournament the world health organization wardens, the 11 host nations, to stay vigilant on prevent a repeats of the coven. absurd scene! ah!

live across the world around the clock. this is our teacher, national pleasure, your company, our top story. it's been revealed on a host of 1000000000 ers on americas rich list, helping, avoiding taxes, despite the search in their wealth. during the pandemic, the expos, a comes from a u. s. independent journalist organization which received a leak from a whistleblower at the revenue service that federal bobby has now launched an investigation. there was eager shit, dumber reports, perhaps not. the kind 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. 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 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 well result. take he'll 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 here 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 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 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 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. 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 b. 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. an update on the story we reported some days ago. european football governing body has not bach trunk on its previous full approval of ukraine's controversial kit for the euro 2020 finals in a statement to r t. u. s. i said the slogan, glory to the heroes must not be removed from the player. shirts. our teeth konstantin roche cough explains why. first of all, this is quite unexpected. moved 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 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 town by key of 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, which shows 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 talking over the turn them into euro 2020 indeed kicks off in room tomorrow nights, football fan, flock, the stadiums across europe, the world health organization is urging people to remain vigilant. it's launched information campaign alongside unicef, highlighting ways to reduce the risk of cobra. 1900 infection there, warning that despite the tourism center, no, slowly reopening people still lead to exercise caution when traveling, avoid confined or crowded spaces. my colleagues worry, sushi spoke with robert butler, director of the w h o regional office for europe. he said people need to bear in mind the optic in cases last summer. last year 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, but 400000000 practicing dosage administered in the european region. that basically represents about 28 percent of the european population that are vaccinated with one dose of vaccines. so far 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 this academia g emerge and in the past, i think it's hard to say many member states. i've been slow to respond to that as early signals. the summer suns campaign is essentially all about people saying size . 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 certain tournaments, gatherings, even festivals that are taking place. but it's important that we do so in

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 last. 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 refined selves at the moment. we've understood a double check with our member states with the country save in europe. that this is all about how best we understand people engage them in the solutions that we're creating. allow them to live life, but reduced risk and also acknowledge the hardships because boy, that's been hardships. okay, to a story that's got a lot of traction. lot of attention of the last few days. the you case education secretary has slammed the behavior of some oxford university students hours. simply absurd. he said. that's after they took down

a portrait of queen elizabeth the 2nd from their colleges, common room, claiming the fund it's offensive sense of court represents the country's colonial post. the president of the picture sees the of the colleges, the picture was removed after a vote, which itself was the initiative of the students. he also added it shouldn't be up to the student body to this side on such issues. however, one committee member who argued against the motion said, effectively cancelling the queen sent out a dire message. the removal comes as the british head of state per person, marque, 7 decades on the throne. next year, we pumped the incident 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 speak to. now everybody feel that the queen, but that's something that they just don't believe in their colonialism represents inherited well,

systems lack of memory talked to. 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's not a 2nd piece. 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 on the queen, the saying that she represents the clarity will 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 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, that wouldn't be the great thing about it. i probably did 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 to change some of them. i think we're going talk about mark received. let's start with that. i don't think 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 a man in science west from sounds, been sentenced to 4 months in jail for sloughing and manual mach drawn 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

keys being given a 4 month sentence behind fours. but in fact, the total sentence was for 18 months, 14 months of that will be suspended for the next few years now based offense. so a so committed against somebody in the public authority could have seen him behind bars for 3 years and find that 45000 years. some people may think that this is potentially lenient. however, that 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 civics, right? so things just voting for the next 3 years and he will be banned from exercising or being in the 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 slapped 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, 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 role the violent laugh. and he said that the point where he did it was 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. my crohn and all the yellow vests and the patriots. he had quite a lot to say about president miko 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 not court 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 pictures 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 his 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 sensitive,

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 had spoken for the 1st time about this assault. he said it was important to put this in perspective in a pinch of salt, but he did 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 not alleged the assaulting president michael. but for allegedly filming the incidents and putting it on, twisted off the see he's not due to come to court until next year. and he faces all the charges supplementary following a range on his home, where they have been allegations he held illegal fire owns. but for the moment,

damian taro, who's the man who slapped president moscow and assaulted him, while mac was on his tutor from sally this week will now be off to jail. to spend the 1st of the next month behind him and i sent you the program still ahead. european lawmakers pushed for sanctions against bella. ruth, over the version of her ryan or they were also pointing the finger bruship more. ah, we're here in saint petersburg at the international economic form. and the topic of our program is the global economy. how is it changed since coven, for the winter, for the loses? what are the challenges and what are the opportunities

with me? ah, i will. the the, the news ah 20 minutes into the

program. welcome back. the european parliament sounds passed the resolution calling for further sanctions on beller roost over the recent diversion of a civilian aircraft from e u 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 called for an urgent investigation into this unprecedented act of state terrorism against the 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 bela martian regime. just to recap, what happened on may 23rd, a ryan or a flight from greece to let you in. he was forced to make an emergency landing and

bella bruce over a bomb threat. the turned out to be a hoax. 2 people were then taken off the plane and arrested the editor of a bell, russian pro opposition telegram channel. his russian girlfriend, european countries responded by battling flights to and from bella roost, son ordering planes to avoid the countries or a space. planes of a russian rule in the diversion of the aircraft have not so far been backed up by any evidence. in the kremlin house denied any involvement. we got reaction on the resolution from martin daughter, a member of germany's left party through 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 law and resort thing to human rights that are that different economical type than to the union. so it will not help the civilian so much. but i think it's even strange to look at check and it will not lead

to kind of regime change which is wanted in union. we shall go deeper into another like this when we see that the european union in the us try to do color revolution and ukraine and then georgia low and better sanctions are part of that. 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 regiment in the crime. and 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. human rights watch is urging g 7 countries to stop subsidizing the oil industry. the group pointed out the rich nations continued

financial support for fossil fuels. this by pledges to the country, that message comes ahead of the group of 7 summit, which gets under way in the u. k. on friday with climate change, high on the agenda, the nations in attendance have all pledge to drastically reduce the reliance on oil and gas, but together they've invested more than $100.00, maybe $9000000000.00 in fossil fuel projects. since the start of the panoramic, that's substantially more than their investments in green energy. nevertheless, us climate envoy john kerry remains, are 8 seats, claiming pollution can be cut without any dropping living standards. you don't have to give up a quality of life to achieve some of the things that we know we have to achieve. that's the brilliance of some of the things that we know how to do. and we'll do. earlier i discuss the continued reliance on oil and gas with a panel of guests. we've got rich nations promising to slash emissions, but they're still investing billions in fossil fuels. why? where to do with economics?

at the end of the day, renewable energy has been coming down in price and quite substantially over the years. but in a particular, in america, fossil fuels through what very well and of course, the 2nd biggest producer of carbon emissions in the world. and so a little bit to do with the comics, i don't think that we can achieve anywhere near the savings in carbon and, and change the trend of what's happening in global climate change that we need to without massive changes in the way that we consume. and that doesn't necessarily mean a negative change, but i think we need to adopt these technologies more quickly. and some of those supply chains, me putting in place more quickly. i just don't think it's happening fast, you know, and i just don't think that we can keep our reliance on fossil fuel, tackle climate change, the 2 things. it's not compatible. global economy is on the gas and

really when into the future fairly well, i transition out of renewable energy cannot shut. see'd where you here is natural gas. is that the about 0 emissions by 2050 or even 200. busy the nation is going to happen. so the money will continue to mean and as i say when the 21st century and far beyond that, when you look at consumption in the west, in the g 70 economies, it's vastly high, you know, of electricity and calls and,

and the demands for from fuels are there, we can sing goods, you know, computers, the left or lights are left on l over the place. so there's so much we could do better before we preach other countries. but to see how many countries are getting richer themselves, a key pledge from the g 7, which takes off on friday, incidentally, is to limit the rising global temperatures to one and a half degrees celsius. but that goal is based heavily on technology that isn't available right now. will technology catch up in time to make these plans even possible only with a lot more investment than that we've seen happen now? so things like carbon sequestration on not viable now. and things even give developments. we've seen hydrogen all very, very promising. and, and technology thought they come slot together so that the innovation is it and hydrogen to some extent tackle for the storage issues that we see that we can

capture from energy from renewables, more, more sustainably. and then we can store the energy and distribute much more efficiently. unfortunately, that technology isn't, isn't where we need it to be. and it's going to cost a lot of money to get it to where it needs to be. the united states is to, to complete its paula from yellowstone in 3 months. time. bond is reportedly keeping open the option of earth strikes beyond the date if couples in danger of falling to the telephone and the secretary of state has even admitted its 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 in afghanistan, if there is a significant deterioration. insecurity, that could well happen. we've 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, august, or by early september with some kind of immediate deterioration in the, in the situation. the u. s. military had taken more than half of its personnel of gala done since april. the police 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. anti war activists. brian becker thinks the latest warnings from the pentagon are essentially the mission of defeat. this report indicates that there is a fierce debate going on within the pentagon and within the administration. and one would expect them to be in debate because by exiting afghanistan finally,

which the us 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 strikes after the u. s. is gone? why would that be effective militarily? 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 fall to the taliban? if in fact, the afghan military can't sustain itself, which is very likely, 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 proclamations by blinking and others that somehow us

present will still remain. i don't think so. just a reminder, if you'd like to delve deeper into any of this, our stories, our website is a solid jumping off point check at the very latest updates there to at r t dot com bye for now. oh, i didn't love today shocking allegations of sexual abuse were revealed involving a former top us figure skating coach been content. that's it. so do you listen, you don't contribute to the stop external response. me haven't get into the in recent years, there's been a way.
