and who was unpredictable, who exactly would take the 1st step we had talked about possibly japan, possibly iran, possibly. russia turns out that nel, salvador is taking the 1st step toward a big point, standard, making bitcoin legal tendered, lose the brush ones of severe consequences if its territorial waters are violated. again, after you can worship breaches, it's a black border, anti virus software pioneer john mcafee, is found dead in a spanish prison cell. what authorities say was a suicide, although he had tweeted that he wouldn't take his own life. and the pandemic sees the number of super rich and joining the millionaire club shoot up as a report finds that firms profiting through the crisis. don't spread the wealth to ordinary ah,

broadcasting live direct from our studios. and also this is our to international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have it with us. right now, ask permission. russia has made it clear how to enter its territory after moscow, some into britain's envoy over a warship that encroached on its waters in the black seat. foreign ministry spokeswoman maria's heart of added that there was a wider political motive behind the move. what is it for the stress on the lives created in media and the political stage of western countries included in the ball? so brussels abode are alleged to in predictability. both are alleged thread, so this very western world to bring everyone up to speed a u. k. worship b, h m, as the veterans did it through what russia says or it's their tauriel water is the vessel sailed within 12 nautical miles off the coast of crimea. close to a russian naval base in the black sea of, after all,

this resulted in russia sending its own naval vessel along with aircraft of fire warning shots. russian diplomats also said that those trying to pass rushes limits are on a slippery slope. and according to the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman, by firing those warning shots, moscow will let everyone know that you need to ask rushes permission before answering its territory. the british ambassador to russia has already arrived to the foreign ministry in moscow and expected to receive a tough warning. so let's have a listen to what the russian diplomats insisted during this meeting. particular attention was drawn to the fact that should similar provocations be repeated. the british side will bear full responsibility for possible consequences. moscow maintains that crimea embassy around peninsula is russia's sovereign territory, while the u. k continues to recognize crimea as a belonging to ukraine and therefore rejects moscow claims of control over the area

is wholly appropriate to use international waters. and, and by the way, the important point is that we don't recognize the russian annexation of tribes. this is part of a sovereign ukrainian territory, it was entirely right that we should be indicate the law and su, freedom of navigation in the way that we take the, the shortest route between 2 points. and that's what we did love and keep saying, it didn't mean to provoke russia in any way and its intentions were harmless. but that contradicts what a b, b. c correspondent, he was on board, the british ship reported he said h hm. as to fatter a deliberately took the course to send a message to moscow. he also said in his report that our crew, the crew of the ship, heard the shots fired by the russians line. if you don't change the course, i'll divide trucking right

altitude low. now interestingly, british officials insist that the worship wasn't fired at and that it was just a coincidence that the russian navy were conducting a gunnery exercise in that area. at that time, at the time the british vessel entered the zone. now, russia's diplomat say that this is an outright lie. those warning shots were men for the h m as defender to scare it off. so clearly, this is the heated topic that will likely affect british russian relations. in the long run, former british envoy greg murray says mister fender did know exactly what it was doing. easy for these things to escalate and get out of hand further than any body actually means. this is, this is ghostly, is responsible to evocative behavior, that bitten has no business having a war, ship sailing, disclose to crime in this land is disputed as well as johnson says. but claim me is at the very least, the occupying power with affective control of

a tentative it is a markedly evocative kinds of belligerent war mongering, which is taking pious 5 thousands of miles from the u. k. coast. let's well forget that this can lead to, to all sorts of difficulties in the context of the business government, which seeks to make truck began to value out of continual compensation with russia, which needs an enemy in order to justify the massive defense spending. guided by this country, so it's part of a, of a general topic to pull on which point it's worth stating. the, you know, that they deliberately built a warship for journalists into the senatorial water. and actually a top, a gander, aimed at the coastal state is, is specifically excluded in the un convention on the war of on the law of the c

anti virus software pioneer john mcafee, has been found dead in his barcelona prison. so, just hours after spain to national court ruled in favor of extra guiding him to the united states, he was known for his extravagant antics. and regular challenges to the status quo in america aren't is dimitri polk takes a look back at his life. john mack, of, he was a color full personality to say the least. a rabble with a biography that reads like a hollywood script. eccentric millionaire computers, viruses, anti virus software, crypto currencies, drugs bo chases, paragliding promoter of numerous conspiracy theories. us presidential candidate, officially accused of arms smuggling and even murder before escaping abroad. these were all parts of his life which ended in a no less unusual fashion in a jail cell in barcelona. mere hours after a court agreed to extradite him to the us to face tax evasion charges. now the

theories are pouring in. was it a suicide to draw negative attention to the government? was it even a suicide at all? which is the official cause of death given by spain, or was it murder wish, mcafee repeatedly warned about guessing subtle messages from us. officials saying, in effect, were coming for you, mcafee. we're going to kill yourself. i got to talk to you today just in case if i suicide myself, i didn't, i was whacked, check my rights, all. i am content and here i have friends, the food is good, all as well. know that if i hang myself, i'll epstein it will be no fault of mine. some social media users point out washington certainly considered him something of a nuisance. he was actively anti establishment. tried to get elected president of the us several times representing the libertarian party campaign against corruption in the us tax service. the rest opposed government financial policy and was a big advocate for crypto currency. after he was arrested in spain,

he claimed all the charges against him were politically motivated. and like 2018, i announced i would run again. and i also announced i would target the i r s and it's corruption. and 2 months later, the iris filed charges against me. i believe the charges are politically motivated, although he did actually skip paying his taxes. but he had his reasons. i have not filed a tax return for a years why one taxation is illegal to pay tens of millions already and received jeff services. 3, i'm done making money. i live off cash for mcafee inc. my net income is negative, but i am a prime target. the i r s here i, he even went as far as to compare the i r s, t, a government enforcement agency. i can, so the german s s normal with the enormous power of the i r s, and emerge isn't s s like intimidation, arm of the government during prohibition. when drinking alcohol was a crime, unable to by legitimate alcohol, the public relied on family stills from destroying stills. it now destroys us.

while it's questionable whether these opinions were the primary reason behind his arrest, he certainly did turn heads with his assault against the establishment. he so despised among those assaults were accusations that the government was conducting mass, electronic espionage. our government is crazy and paranoid to department of homeland security. an agency which was created to protect us mixed the and the enemies as directed activities within the con. now it demands the eye and of the us citizens, fully undress before them, and that the romans for the most intimate corners of our private lives. for the sake of protecting us, they in essence tell us we need to check you to make sure you're not the enemy we're protecting you from. he also claimed the ca regularly carried out cyber attacks pretending to be other countries. thank god. the ceiling is concerned that that's the way it works, that they make an impression that someone else has done it. if john brandon, michael hayden, the c i,

director and obama were here. i would say shame on you. and he heavily criticized the u. s. foreign policy, we run into the terrorism problem because america has meddled in other countries affairs and acted like the world's placement for too long. if you live in syria and you will bond on a daily basis and your loved ones, friends, relatives, colleagues, wives and children were killed in those as strikes. you would get angry too. who started it all? that's the question. it's us who started it all and we must bear responsibility. the u. s. can no longer be the world's policeman. that's just not tenable. while he was a hero to thumb, others saw him as a man with a wild imagination. and yeah, not everything he said and did was exactly true or generally considered decent. he did make up a story about being arrested for wearing a thong instead of a face mask faked several heart attacks, while in a guatemalan jail, had his own private comp out in harem. while living in the caribbean, where he was involved in the production of bath salts as a synthetic drug,

while simultaneously trying to develop organic antibiotics, he even had a little private army comprise of local gang members and retired police officers. but like him or not, the news of his unexpected death has certainly caught the attention of many, including us surveillance whistle lower edward snowden. europe should not extradited those accused of non violent crimes to a court system so unfair and prison systems so cruel. that native born defendants would rather die than become subject to its julian assange could be next until the system is reformed. a moratorium should remain while mcafee has lost his life. his story is not over, said he actually kill himself if he did, then why or was he actually a threat worth removing? the theme as these questions will boggle the minds of quite a few people and be the topic of debate for quite some time. mcafee is the 2nd

powerful person of late to have killed themselves while awaiting trial by the u. s . with finance. here jeffrey epstein also committing suicide and custody fears have been raised for a long time. a detainee jolena sanchez health, but he's not god you have discussed the comparison with my colleague column bray, mcafee was bought in the u. k. how that he was us citizen julian sanchez, isn't gone in the presence of the prosecuting him because of the suspect, the sexual assault delegation. now they're, they, they've come out. and they said it's because of his work investigative work, his journalism, exposing war crimes had killed many, many people as well as corruption and scandal that the highest levels of power, the things we've seen published. and we can say the fear is now the julian assad. under pressure for so long that he may choose a similar option. and of course, a few people are going to be joining adults here on the day that it adds to mcafee . that adds to higher number of people who died either imprison under duress

because they're facing legal action. aaron was sworn aside from mike if he also a web, an id, pioneer. in his twenties, he made the internet hall of fame red that he was an early employee. help get that off the ground. he was facing threatened with 30 years behind bars by united states prosecutors. so what he did is he downloaded many, many demick journals. he believed that the internet should be free, access to knowledge should be free. later after he was found, hanged in his apartment. we found out the, the secret service presidential security there that they had $1400.00 pages of documents on him, a huge amount. the secret service was involved then for example, we have abstract jeffrey epstein, who could have brought down the system the establishment. i mean, he's friends included president celebrities, superstar cygnus. oh, all manner of people well known and many of them frequented movies parties,

parties where there was the legend, the abuse of children, sexual abuse of children. he was found also hanged in his, in his jail. so many people do by that story, except course, there's no proof. there's no evidence that there was foul play. nevertheless, it is, it is studying because all these deaths happen in areas in a country where the united states and europe, which are 1st in the front rows when they hear about human rights abuses or prosecution of activists in china or russia. for example. a son has been harass, tortured, and we have no idea what is happening to him right now. then the anglo saxons will issue immediate release saying no longer could his free soul suffer. the vulgar world's slow infamy. and that's it. the rest can do this kind of thing. there's cod there to sonnets. the point is that there is now the least of high profile figures

. figures that have been given a lot of publicity or choosing to, to commit suicide rather than be handed over to the united states to adjust the system that is seen as unfair and cruel by many ecuador, former council in the u. k, who helped arrange a silent for gillian assange in the embassy also see similarities between the mcafee case and that of the whistleblower. this is not much of a personal perception. this is a very, very expect dot notice made by the highest, especially in this country in the u. k. that you suffer from depression. she has on that increase significantly. there is all suicide, even on the shows that he's now in a maximum security depletion in the u. k. known as the animal. and that's

not even talking about the appropriate conditions in the united states, which is the reason why many people prefer to commit suicide rather than being extradited to that system. so i had for you, european football, governing body refuses to light up a stadium with the rainbow colors of the l g. b t. movement during a european championship game will explain the controversy surrounding that. just ahead is our to international the join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me

. ah, with me ah ah, i use the the news.

ah, welcome back. this is art international. for many, the pandemic has brought hardship and suffering, but for others it has meant to record profits. the number of global dollar millionaires has jumped by 5000000 just in the past year and in the u. s. alone, just 50 super rich dynasties, now hold as much wealth as half the entire population. americans, diagnostic families, both old and new, deploying a range of wealth preservation strategies to further concentrate wealth and power. power that is deployed to influence democratic institutions, the press, civic imagination, and rigor, the rules, the further entrench inequality, or to go down of explains how the pandemic has exacerbated the rich poor divide for tens of millions. the pain pandemic could just as well stand for poverty, such as being the devastating effect. but for a select few,

it's turned out to mean prosperity, profits, profligacy. the lockdown doesn't sound too bad when you get to self isolate on the $1000000.00 you are like this. altogether, the wealthy spend so much on these yards. it would have been enough to fully vaccinate a small nation like new pool, for instance. ritzy mansions have also been snapped off the market amid the raging health crisis, along with lumber guineas, rorys, and rolls royces. 5000000 more joined the 1000000 as club last year, mostly in the us and europe. the rise and wealth inequality was likely not caused by the pandemic itself, nor is direct economic impacts, but was instead a consequence affections undertaken to mitigate its impact primarily lower interest rates. and his a key reason why low interest rates means you can borrow money on the very cheap investors use that to get funds,

which they then throw into the stock market shares skyrocket. this is what's happening right now. and that translates directly into massive wealth boost for major shareholders. those who are already rich become richer, and that's not all they have going for them. the altar wealthy, especially diagnostically, wealthy families, have in fact created a to t, a tax system. one set of rules for themselves, another for everyone else. as a result, we end up with absurd situations where the senior government official is able to say that only more on the pay the estate tax openly acknowledging that the u. s. a state tax system is optional for the wealthiest. a recent league from the us revenue service has revealed that america's 1000000000 as i used to paying almost no income tax. and it hardly even bothers the tax man in washington. well, if we glance on the bottom end of the wealth pyramid,

almost $3000000000.00 worldwide report less than $10000.00 in their bank accounts. and more than a 100000000 have been plunged into extreme poverty by the pandemic in a bid to keep up the economies vital signs. the u. s. federal reserve has pumped an additional $3.00 trillion dollars of liquidity in since february last year. that's an 88 percent increase of the national balance sheet. while a lot of that went into the coffers of the rich. it also set off economists alarms, as it's a bubble. and sooner or later, such bubbles tend to bust the economy shifting to one in which a very small percentage of the population has an enormous proportion of the wealth . all that the leak from the internal revenue service did was to expose yet again, how bad the situation is,

how successful the very richest people in america, the 650 billionaires, especially how successful they have been in writing the tax laws so that they can legally evade their fair share of the taxes and it produces more bitterness, more division. as i said, it's a society that is exploding itself and it doesn't seem to be able to recognize and change to stop this. the duration partisans have been, or excuse me, per reasons have been hitting back after authorities granted temporary permission for drug users to meet at a local park. a simple mid day walk for one mom and her 2 year old and in misery. when the child was assaulted by an addict or cheese child basically picks up the story for us. plagued by a drug addict,

many of them using crack cocaine. this talk empower is just sort of a nightmare for residence once a place the families could come to now they crash by in fear or into risk fact residence and told us that this entire neighborhood is run. but yeah, yeah, yes, we've had enough. and this problem concerns not only the garden reveal, but the entire area. there are drug addicts, migrants dealers, all at the same time that are really a lot of them here. we have a park, but it is absolutely impossible to go here. something open, just in such a situation simply should not be happening in a children's park or any other such normal place. these are, we will drug addicts, they need medical and social help and they were just moved to the park in the hope that the problem will solve itself to get you is you never this problem exists in

our entire district as well as in several other districts moreover, this problem with greg smokers has existed for a long time. but now everything has become worse. we feel isolated, we feel abandoned will come here every wednesday for protests. we post tweets, we do a lot of things. we have created an association to try and find a solution, but it feels like we're hitting a wall to the go already overflowing, here is a disturbing development. a child amongst these images show this 2 year old battered and bruised. those horrific injury. a thing during an attack against the child by an attic, when locals, who have pleaded and go with the authorities, this is the law school. how can you feel secure after something like that happens on the so little child? you know, it's extremely shocking. it's devastating. i'm shocked in the 1st place that the so

lucian they offered is just to put the 500 the drug addicts in a children's park. we needed the park to be secured that day and night by human presence, as well as the whole neighbourhood, your police present today. there are some policemen for the people here in the protest, but on a daily basis, you hardly see them. the drug i take to attack the love and child who later apprehended by the police, but the prosecutor's office is concluded that she was supposed to be for. she's bipolar instead she turned in for the matter of the area issues of mental health on drugs feeding us. these are the gazes to the heaviest ones in which secretary pathologists and crept conception feed of each other, which create the most problems for the residence. there is an urgent need to act. these people must be taken care of in special ed to sublease means nothing is worse

than leaving them on the streets. this price i call i locals, isn't the time to continue to cool focus on the severe issues hit on to take back talk from drug addict, but they can, can you guys fairly, the real sense of they have been abandoned by the authority. charlotte didn't see us see a talk in paris. there is anger in germany after football, european governing body you. if i refused a request to light up a music stadium and l g b t colors ahead of a match at the euro championships. some people have interpreted us as decision to turn down the city of munich request to eliminate the meaning stadium in rainbow colors for a year or 2020, much as political on the country. the request itself was political linked to the hungarian football teams presence in the stadium for this evening,

much with germany. i find that shameful that you will, for forbids us from setting an example for diversity tolerance, respect, and solidarity. gather other german cities rather. excuse me, other german cities rallied against the ban illuminating public spaces in rainbow colors, while football clubs printed their own multicolored logos as well. a rainbow flags were also distributed by rights of group amnesty international ahead of the germany hungry again. and one campaigner even took an l g b t flag onto the pitch as hungry anthem was being played last week on. gary lawmakers banned the promotion of homosexuality or gender change to under 18th. budapest says the law has nothing to do with discrimination and is aimed at protecting children. sports writer and broadcaster alan moore believes you should have taken a firmer stance much earlier. it's an odd situation because the whole black matter

go clustered in. so then everything can come in afterwards, and they said that very dangerous press the weight initially allowing the political protests. so basically people can do what they want, they're not trying to protect money and i to protect it. they realized that by allowing that matter in that they created a monster can't control yes, l g b t sigma is we, we know that it is evident this a shot and guess who said us, but they don't really believe that. and also, they're now very, very cross of speaking with people to day late, very, very, very start with jerseys, or symbols or posturing. they had to say, no, this is the basis for a mess. it's a cloud of black smoke can be seen rising from the sight of a fatal helicopter crash in western russia. the national guard has confirmed 3

people died in the accident thought to have occurred during a routine training flight emergency services are currently working at the scene. one person is confirmed dead and 9 others injured after a beach front apartment block in miami, florida partially collapsed. they're still not known how many were in the building at the time, but scores of people are unaccounted for. a search and rescue team deployed to find those still trapped in the complex has rescued a child from the rubble of the injured the bus crash in northern iran has reportedly left 2 dead and 21 injured on board were 25. iranian journalists, heading from tucson to report on the renovation of a provincial damn, when their bus overturned. there's no immediate information about what caused the crash. iranian roads are considered among the most dangerous in the world, with some $17000.00 deaths each year. that's your news for this hour. i will be back in about 30 minutes with another phone specialist. take

a look. this is our international go with the back guys are financial survival guys, housing bubble. oh, you mean the downside? artificial mortgage right now get carried away. was trying to report doing the breathing technique and then take a pool in the hill. and i don't know where it goes out, live judas, bridge that need to reach a dime a field trip tomorrow. the judge in green a vision shoot me.
