10:01 pm
run the clock news at the top of every hour. this is our international. i'm your host on the quarter walk into the program. it's been revealed that a host of american billionaires have been evading taxes despite a search in their wealth. during the pandemic, they expose a comes from a u. s. independent journalist organization which received a leak from a whistleblower at the revenue service. now that federal body has now launched an investigation though, as eager started 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,
10:02 pm
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, 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 spelled, these failed to conjure a real world result. take you 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 fatis cats gave up to the i r. s. and if you want low look no further than jeff basis,
10:03 pm
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, i let 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 remember 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 with access is illegal. and we take this very seriously. and the i r. s.
10:04 pm
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 are focusing on the data relation, not the concepts. what explanation is that, you know, they're concerned about the possibility that their complete tax return is of politicians will be released next to many members of congress are very rich land or 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, 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 has back tracked on its previous full approval of ukraine's controversial kit for the euro, 2020 finals, and a statement to r t. your way. first said that the slogan, glory to the heroes must now be removed from the player shirts. ortiz constantine ross called, explains why, 1st of all, this is quite unexpected. move from your way for 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. the way it's asking for clarification, why the main ruling body of european football let this happen and here their
10:06 pm
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 stay the whole story around. the ukranian football uniform has kicked up some controversy with the russian football
10:07 pm
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 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, which shows crimea as part of the country. you creating 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. 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 can pass to region on a football jersey can be also seen as to have some political message to it. that's
10:08 pm
according to several russian football officials and even russian president spokesman. dimitri passed off, who insisted that sports must stay out of politics. by the way, for said that they have nothing against them. ap euro 2020 kicks off in rome on friday night. and as football fans flocked to stadiums across europe, although a limited capacity arenas the world health organization is urging people to remain vigilant. it's launched in information campaign alongside unicef, highlighting ways to reduce the risk of cobra. 1900 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, rory sushi, i spoke with rob butler, the director of the w. h o regional office for europe and he says people need to bear in mind the uptake 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
10:09 pm
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 academia as we see this academia g emerged. and in the past, i think it's hard to say many member states have been slow to respond to that as 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 tournament 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
10:10 pm
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 countries 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 reduced 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 as simply absurd, that's up to they took down portrait of queen elizabeth the 2nd from their colleges, common room, claiming they found it offensive. since that quote,
10:11 pm
represents the country's colonial past. the president of the college says 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 as the british head of state prepares to mark 7 decades on the throne next year. we put the incident up for debate. 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 he speaks of not everybody feel that the queen, but that it's something that they just don't believe in their colonialism. inherited well, systems lack of memory talk to say so if they don't want to that they happen being disrespectful to the queen. i think there's a lot of this kind of talk of disrespect. and even though you respect that,
10:12 pm
that's not a 2nd piece. we only do 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 slides on the queen. the thing that she represents the clarity will pass and that's why they remove the pitch the portrait. there was no reason for them to cause this 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 couldn'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 before that the past and been able to to change some of them. i think we're going to go back and mark received. let's start with that. i
10:13 pm
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. a man in southwest france has been sentenced to 4 years in jail for slapping the manual macro and across 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 forth, but in fact, the truthful sentence was for 18. 14,
10:14 pm
most of that will be suspended for the next few years. now this offense, so a so committed against somebody in public authority could have seen him behind bars for 3 years. and finally, 45000 years. some people may think that this is potentially lenient. however, thought sentence comes with the conditions. for the next 5 years, tara will not be allowed to hold any weapons here in front. he will be deprived of his specifics, right? so things which is 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
10:15 pm
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 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 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, 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
10:16 pm
mandate. so what do we know about this 28 year old book? quite a lot from that 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 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 memos might 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 she 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,
10:17 pm
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's been described 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 arrest in falling back on president miko not to let you be assaulting president michael. but for allegedly, filming the incidents and putting it on, twisted off a c. t's not due to come to court until next year. and he faces all the charges supplementary following rain tony's home, where there have been allegations he held illegal fire owns. 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
10:18 pm
will now be off to jail. to spend the 1st of the next month behind boss european parliament has passed a resolution calling for further sanctions on beller roofs over the recent diversion of a civilian aircraft from the european union aerospace. the document also calls for measures against russia for supporting mints. 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. you 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 son regime. now assured recap of what happened on may 23rd rianne air flight from grease till it away. and
10:19 pm
he was forced to make an emergency landing in bel roofs over a bomb threat that 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 and his russian girlfriend. european countries responded by banning flights to and from bell roofs and ordering plains to avoid the countries aerospace, altogether claims of russian roland. the diversion of the aircraft have not so far been backed up by any evidence and the kremlin has denied any involvement. we've got reaction on the resolution from march and dozer, a member of the hamburg parliament to playing russia for something red. so no evidence this way, you can go forward, but it will not lead to a dialogue. all this will not strengthen. one for you all shall claim to be sure thing to international law and resort thing to human rights that are that different
10:20 pm
economic ties than to the european union. so it will not out the civilian so much, but i think it was even stranger to look at check or and it will not lead to kind of regime change which is wanted by the union. we shall go deeper into life when we see that the european union in 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 airplane was someone who was working with the rec, recommend, which is a passion threat meant 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 access to like that. the united states
10:21 pm
is due to complete it with its withdrawal from afghanistan in 3 months time. but it's reportedly keeping open the option of air strikes beyond that date if couples in danger of falling into the hands of the taliban. and on top of that, 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 or august or by early september with some kind of immediate deterioration in the,
10:22 pm
in the situation. u. s. military says it's taking more than half of its personnel out of afghanistan since april. the pull out was supposed to be concluded on may 1st after a 2 decade presence in the country. but joe biden push that deadline back to september 11th, which will mark exactly 20 years since the 911 terrorist attacks that led to the us war on terror. anti war activists, brian becker thinks the latest warnings from the pentagon are essentially an admission of defeat. 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
10:23 pm
taliban. why would the resumption of air strike 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. s. last, 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. revenues are railey police used stun grenades on thursday to disperse hundreds of palestinians who gathered in jerusalem's old city to protest against the visit of
10:24 pm
a leading far right politician. the trouble is triggered by right wing law maker ben's veer's visit to a predominantly muslim area in jerusalem. it came to he came to denounce a ban on a nationalist march throughout flashpoint areas of the city that have witnessed clashes between israeli forces and palestinians in recent months. police use tear gas and stun grenades to disperse protesters around a dozen people were reportedly arrested. r t correspondent dahlia no. murray witnessed on events unfold. cavenella israeli police have just brutally dispersed people here. they use crowd control weapons including don grenade i ship and even use them against journalists. several of phosphor injured by don grenades that exploded near us. it seems that israeli forces continue to go off the journalist to report on these events. they don't differentiate between journalists and demonstrators. israeli forces use chair gas today to disperse protesters and
