i, a thing investigation reveal is not a host of america. has riches billionaires are avoiding paying tax, but the u. s. revenue service seems more concerned with finding the information coming up. you a full truck on a previous bull approval of ukraine's culture versus kit for the european football championship thing. the logan glory to the euros must not be removed from the clear . sure. on the, on the eve of the delayed euro, 2020 tournaments, the world health organization wardens, the 11 host nations to stay vigilance, prevent a repeat of the covert officer seen last summer. ah,

ruby are tuning in from today. welcome to moscow and then use our own our secret of your company. my name's unit only. it's been revealed by the host of billionaires on americas rich list, been avoiding taxes, despite a search in their wealth. during the pandemic, the expose a comes from a us independent journalist organization which received a leak from a whistleblower. the revenue service no doubt. federal body has not launched an investigation. there was eager dumb of reports. perhaps not the kind you might expect. there has 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 heal and musk between 20142018. his wealth balloon by almost $14000000000.00. guess how much he paid in taxes, a whooping 3.27 percent. and if you think that slow, no, that's actually pretty average. that's how much america's 25 fattest cats gave up to the i r. s. and if you want low look no further than jeff basis,

and warren buffet, who's true tax rate barely hovered above 0. i continue to believe that the tax code should be changed substantially. huge dynastic wealth is not desirable for our society. yeah, that moment when your taxes are so low, even you can't help but feel like a bit of a crock. and all of this was lead to journalists at pro public, and the rest is investigating spoiler alert, not the billionaires. there is an investigation with respect to the allegations that the source of the information in the article came from the internal revenue service and remote this dude. he founded so concerned about the upper crust of american society, not paying 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 dot com, or what explanation is that, you know, they're concerned about the possibility that they're complete. tax return is of politicians will be released next to many members of congress are very rich landers . i don't know the possibilities. they're not saying anything is because there's nothing to say. i mean, there's numerous tax advantages for the super wealthy. they're intentionally within the tax code. they're perfectly legal and yeah, some of them are known by and used by the political leads as well as successful business 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. european footballs governing body has back tracked on its previous full approval of ukraine's controversial kit for the euro, 2020 finals, and a statement to r t. u. a 5th said the slogan, glory to the heroes must not be removed from the player shirts. ortiz constantine rush, cough explains why, 1st of all, this is quite unexpected. move from the way for the band, the use of this particular slogan on a newly and viele kid of team the 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 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 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 forward 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. 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 ukrainian is sergent army lead based upon bundy 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. creating 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. but the russia, ukraine as well as western countries, said that they don't recognize, developed, but given the context put in 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 dimitry passed off, who insisted that sports must stay out of politics. by the way. for said that they have nothing against the map who indeed, euro 2020 kicks off in rome on friday night. the football fans flock to stadiums across europe or. busy be at a limited capacity arenas 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, 1900 infection. they are warning that despite the tourism sector, no, slowly reopening, people still need to exercise caution when troubling and avoid confined or crowded spaces. my colleague, greece, who she spoke with, rob 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 a vaccination with one dose to back seems 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 epidemiology. as we see the academia g emerged. and in the past, i think that many member states have been slow to respond to those early signals because some, a sentence 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 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 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. but 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 knowledge, the hardships because boy has been hardships the u. k. to educate and secretary, her slum, the behavior of some oxford university students, us simply absurd. thus, after he took down a portrait of queen elizabeth the 2nd from their colleges,

common room claiming they find it offensive. since that quote represents the country's colonial past. the president of the college sees the picture was removed after a vote, which itself was the initiative of the students. he added it should be up to the student body to decide 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 of the british head of state prefers to mark 7 decades on the throne 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 shame. it's come to this about the queen and also wherever the stuff that you speak to. now everybody feel that the queen, but that it's something that they just started believe. and colonialism represent inherited well. system lack of memory talk to see. 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 that even though you respect that, that's not a 2nd piece. the comment that is what has caused a prince was not that they making to make them feel unwelcome. it is the fact that it was the slight upon the queen, the saying that she represents the clarity will pass 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 way it was, there wouldn't be the great thing about it. i probably did 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 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 the, in the universities, but there 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. among inside at west france has been sentenced to 4 months in jail for slapping a manual neutron 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 formal sentence behind fours, but in fact,

the truthful sentence was for 18 months, 14 months of that will be suspended for the next few years. now this offence, so a so committed against somebody in public authority could have seen him behind bars for 3 years and find the 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 front. he will be deprived of his civic. right . so things such as 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 that the time when he slept, president mccord 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 assaulted the president of the french republic even describe that assault of being a role the violent law? 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 vote for me, i was filled with disgust. i think my reaction was a little bit impulsive, but my words had an impact, micron and all the yellow vests. and the patriots. he had quite a lot to say if our president michael saying that he represented the downfall 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 gave them a copy of the men was mine, kept 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 of history, but he didn't approve of censorship. and because they was censored, he wanted to go and see them. and he 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 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 to let you be assaulting president michael. but for allegedly filming the incidents and putting it on twitter off the seat. he's not due to come to court until next year. and he faces all the charges supplementary, following arrange on his home, where there have been allegations he held illegal fire owns. but for the moment, damian taro, who is the man who slapped,

present moscow and assaulted him while michael was on his tutor from the city. this week will now be off to jail, to spend the 1st of the next 4 month behind boss. still ahead in the program, european lawmakers push for sanctions against fellow roost over the diversion of a ryan or a plane. they're also pointing the finger up russia more often than the progress driven by a dreamer shaped by the control center. those in me dares

thing we dare to ask in here was our annual summer solution where we know not on the problem, but on the solution we're here in saint petersburg to get the international economic form. and the topic of our program is the global economy. how is it changed since coded for the winter, for the loses? what are the challenges and what are the opportunities the hello again, the european parliament has passed a resolution calling for further sanctions on beller bruce over the recent diversion of civilian aircraft from your 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 bella russian regime. a recap of what happened on may 23rd. a reiner a flight from greece to la few india was forced to make an emergency landing and fell ru super a bomb threat that turned out to be a hoax. 2 people were then taken off the plane and arrested the editor of bella, russian pro opposition telegram channel on his russian girlfriend. european countries responded by bombing flights to and from bella roofs and ordering plains

to avoid the countries or space. claims of a russian rule in the diversion of the aircraft have not so far being backed up by any evidence. and the kremlin has denied any involvement. we got reaction on the resolution for martin doors are a member of the humbert parliament to playing russia something red. so no evidence this way you can go forward. this will not lead to dialogue. all this will not strengthen. one for you all shall 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 civilians so much. but i think it was even stranger 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 like this when we see that the european union and 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 era play was someone who was working with the rec, recommend, which is the passion recommends in the crying if you want the blog. so i think it's not the right way to bring down a plane to, to get to get access to a person like that. human rights watch is urging the group of 7 countries to stop subsidizing the oil industry. the group pointed, all the rich nations continued financial support for fossil fuels, was my pleasure to the country, not message comes ahead of the g 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 pledged to drastically reduce the reliance on

oil and gas, but together they've invested more than a $189000000000.00 in fossil fuel projects. since the start of the panoramic, that's substantially more than their investments in green energy. nevertheless, us climate on boy john kerry means update. he's claiming pollution can be cuts without any drop in 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 discussed a continued reliance on oil on gas with a puddle of gas. we've got rich nations promising to slash emissions, but they're still investing billions in fossil fuels. why we're going to do with economics at the end of the day renewable energy is been coming down in price and quite substantially over the years. but in a particular, in america, fossil fuels to work 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 quite changed they 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 runners on the gas. and really that's when into the future care and transition out of renewable energy cannot shut. she and we,

can you hear me? is that what i guess is that about a mission by 2015, even 200. the nation is illusion. never happen. so the global will continue to me, as i say, when through the 23rd century and far beyond that when you look at consumption in the western g 7 economies, it's vastly high, you know, of electricity and calls and, and the demands for fuel so that we can sing goods, you know, computers a left on lights a left on our over the place. that's so much we could do better before we preach

the company. but the 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 have to now. so things like carbon sequestration on not viable now and things that even give developments. we've seen hydrogen all very, very promising. and, and technology thought they come slot together so that the innovation is he and hydrogen to some extent, tackle some of the storage issues that we see that we can capture from allergy 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 due to complete its pulling from afghan less than in 3 months time. but it reportedly keeping open the option of her strikes beyond the date, if cables in danger of falling to the telephone and the secretary of state has even admitted it's not a complete withdrawal. 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 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 phase, it's taken more than half of its personnel out of afghanistan since april. the polite was supposed to be concluded on may 1st after a to decade, presence in the country. but joe biden push the deadline back to september 11th, which will mark exactly 20 years since the 911 terrorist attacks that lead to the u . s. war inter anti war activist bind becker thinks the latest warnings from the pentagon are essentially the mission of the feats. 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 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 strikes after the u. s. is gone? why would that be effective militarily? so what's happening is, the pentagon and the bi 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 sustain itself, which is very likely, 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 present will still remain. i don't think so. that's where we leave the news run up for now, but don't go too far as more great programs get going. after the shortest of breaks

the. i choose ah, the news.
