older america, native americans look past the decks that happen every single day. this is a modern history of the usa. my america, on our t o, deadlines, this our hidden treasures, the secret financial dealings and hundreds of the world's richest and most powerful people are revealed. in the biggest ever league of off shore data. meanwhile, the blame game continues over a net looming energy crisis in europe. with thing is pointed at brussels, green politics and russia and fury in austria. after an afghan refugee in rate to 7 year old girl is sentenced to just 10 months behind bars. and given therapy, we get the views of the panel and the guest model rapes, a 7 year old girl. he has a lot of problems and they canceled the comp you sold within 10 months behind the
1:01 am
bar with steps of education in school, but will not have to re steps for, for to repeat and save off a. can you k farm is a forced to co fashions of healthy pigs g to assure teachers slaughterhouse workers brought on by the pandemic and breaks it. ah, good morning, just going 8 o'clock here in moscow. you're watching art in international. now, opening a pandora's box and you expose a on tax havens, has shown how the world's riches hide their wealth. leak of financial data is one of the biggest in history and reveals how even world leaders stash their cash in offshore locations. don't quarter, gave more details to calling bray. people definitely were anticipating something as big as what happened in 2016 when the pat,
1:02 am
when the panama papers were released. but actually this one hasn't made as much noise. the guardian sure had a click beatty picture of vladimir putin's face right at the front of its article, even though in the pandora papers vladimir putin was not even named. so that's a bit a bit interesting. but the investigation primarily deals with more or less obscure people. i mean, we have some examples being the king of jordan. so offshore properties, personal properties, the purchase of several theatres, by the general director of russia's channel one he was said to have been a silent partner in this operation. but he's already commented publicly that he hasn't concealed anything about his business dealings in connection to this. one higher profile mentioned though, the ukranian president vladimir zalinski in 2019, he was elected and most enlarged park on his platform of promising to rid the country of corruption. and ukraine is notoriously, hasn't a problem with corruption. and according to this investigation,
1:03 am
he actually transferred 25 percent of his stake in a foreign at an offshore company to his personal friend who is now the top presidential advisor. so, so far he hasn't commented on that seems a little bit shady, but no confirmations. usually when we think of tax havens right, i mean, you think of maybe a financial center like hong kong or some sort of obscure caribbean island. but the pandora paper is actually paint a very different picture there, showing that they actually revealed that south dakota has become the new hot spot for tens of millions of dollars that used to be in offshore accounts in the caribbean and europe. and this is despite of jo biden's promise to no combat corruption. earlier this year to day i'm issued a national security study memorandum of the fight against corruption to establish competent corruption as a cor us national security interest. the united states will lead by example. and in partnership with allies, civil society ended the pro sex as to far this courage of corruption good. in fact, delaware, wherein mister biden hales from i've got some pretty good,
1:04 am
the tax breaks, the company's them they. so if his big platform is to deal with tax evasion, as many leaders do, where are the americans on that list? well, it's a good question. they're basically not there. i mean, we hear report after report obviously about like a lot of american businessman and big corporal corporate owners evade avoiding. busy taxes, and yet this report for some reason only mentions a couple of very obscure american billionaires that i personally never heard of. and so yeah, the, the big question is, you know, where are all the big american names? i mean, what about the richest man in the world? jeff bezos, his company, amazon paid 0 dollars and 0 cents and federal income tax. not just in 2020, but also in 20182017 eli musk fades. also 0 dollars and 0 cents and federal income tax. in 2018 donald trump paid $750.00 back in 2017. so it seems a bit fishy, that there are, there might be nothing important our of value to mention about these offshore
1:05 am
assets. now we also did hear from whistleblower, edward snowden. he let out a tweet bout the report on this leak. so let's take alice, the humorous side of this very serious story is that even after 2 apocalyptic offshore finance law firm leaks, those industries are still compiling vast databases of ruin and still secure them with a posted note mark, do not leak hats off to the source this is just the beginning of these sir reports, and these leaks about these pandora papers. more of them are promised for the coming weeks, so we're gonna have to keep an eye out for them. don't cool today. will this be a hood to the u. s. state of south dakota has emerged as a new destination for wealthy people to avoid tax experts we spoke. see they say they are not surprised. the very thing that the united states criticized switzerland in the past whore it is now doing the famous numbered account. look, the real lesson here is,
1:06 am
if you will allow the distribution of wealth and income to be as only equal as it now is in the world to day. you create the incentive and the means for those that the top to continue to accumulate from one generation to another. there is amazing tax evasion taking place around the world. and there's also a lot of unaccounted, unaccountable capital sloshing around the world are using various off shore havens and, and governments tolerate this and, and banks make a lot of money off this. and the us, by the way, it is itself a major tax haven. it's a incorporation laws are among the easiest in the world. so the u. s. is actually our. busy crime participant, and this kind of a really crazy, monstrous, no tax avoidance that europe is on the brink of an energy crisis is
1:07 am
our prices continue to hit record highs on german electricity purchase. reagan shut down its power plant simply because there was no more coal. well, the country and other estates are also facing shortages of natural gas supplies. let's get more and i from charlotte to bin skins in paris forest across the story. good morning to charlotte. winter's coming and energy crisis is here. how is europe going to coat? that's the question. yes, well there's a lot of finger pointing across the you at the moment is the block is facing this unprecedented energy crisis. as you mentioned, winter is loom in the ears, him to scratch his head as to work out what it's going to be able to do. but this is been a crisis that has been v is in the making. let's have a look at some of the issues at the moment, and we'll start here in france,
1:08 am
where energy prices have increased this month by 12.6 percent. that's the gas prices here in france. that's after several months of increasing prices that we've seen. john cast excesses, the french prime minister has said that they will not be any more rises. they'll be a freeze to try and protect people from any more, increasing bills over in spain. huge problems there where there has been a tripling over prices for households. we know that the spanish government is past emergency measures to try and deal with that. and we've also got hurt at from small business unions that the problem there is just desperate. they say that businesses cannot take any more after the covert crisis. and in italy, a suggestion the prices will right 40 percent there at the government, there has already passed an emergency package worth around 3000000000 euros. then
1:09 am
in germany, as you mentioned, one power plant having to shut down completely not just last week, but several times in september as there was not enough coal to fuel station. and that's because also, as people are fearful of this crisis over gas, they're turning to coal, which means that is old. so being depleted. well the question is, why is the new in this situation? and as i mentioned, there is a lot of finger pointing and blaming going on at the moment, including from some e u members, that the problem here is to do the e u, and it's policies of moving towards a green energy agenda. they see that e use trying to do this too fast, and it hasn't been able to move quick enough to it, but at the same time as being stopping the use of things such as fossil fuel. so natural gas and cold being used in its energy stations, energy price is currently soaring across the
1:10 am
e u and putting unprecedented pressure on both energy companies and all our citizens when designing energy and climate policies, we have to ensure their social acceptability. otherwise we risk their failure. ah, but the e u flatly denies that. this is the case. in fact, it's gone on the, the fight saying that actually the result is that it hasn't moved fast enough to green energy policies. and it says that the block is over dependent on fossil fuels . it says it now must go harder and faster on the green agenda instead of being paralyzed or slowing things down because of the price hike. now, in the energy sector, we should speed things up in the transition to renewable energy. so the affordable renewable energy becomes available for everyone. the e u commission of energy also supports that saying that the u is over reliant on these fossil fuels, but some now as a grappling to try and deal this to try and point to blame. someone are also trying
1:11 am
to put the blame on russia, saying that russia has been, are holding back on supplies of gas in that one of the issues. now that is something that russia flatly denies itself. it says it is ready to help you up in that moment of crisis to provide it with the gas it, it needs. however, there is a key to this and this is to do with the nord stream to pipeline that was completed last month. this is a pipeline that will take natural gas all the way directly to germany. that 2nd pipeline has to be certified by the authorities before the gas supplies can be turned on. as a russia saying, turn that on or give that certification and we will supply you with that gas that you need. now, ministers in the you would do to discuss this energy crisis in the next few days, and it is something that is going to be on the agenda, working at how they go to deal with this problem,
1:12 am
particularly as the winter months are coming. and as those winter months are fast approaching, there are tens of millions of people across the block who are concerned and fearful about the choices that they may have to make this winter. whether that's between heating their homes or cooking hot food. at the same time, the e u is lacked scratching its head, wondering how it's going to keep the light sawn. it's a difficult question to answer, isn't it? okay, thank sir charlotte, that was arte shouted davinsky reporting that from paris. neither is outrage at what seen as a cleaning sentence for an afghan team who sexually appears to 7 year old austrian girl. he'll spend just 10 months behind bars and receive fair repay after enticing the child into the basement of an apartment block and assaulting her. ah, with
1:13 am
one another horrifying incident happened in austria back in june when 3 afghans raped and killed a 13 year old girl. despite their immediate arrest, one of these suspected killers did manage to sneak into the k under a fake name in a beta refuge cheese and then climbed asylum as another way that fling afghans arrived there. in austria, chancellor sebastian kurtz is taking a tough stand. some crimes committed by migrants along with a resistance to accept any more asylum seekers or string authorities have also said that they were forced to bring to pull afghan seems requests for asylum, fail, coding to you and data for 2020 or 3 has more than 40000 afghan refugees the 2nd
1:14 am
biggest number after germany. kevin, i discussed the issue of violence by refugees and how justice is handed dang, with a panel of guests. a model rapes, a 7 year old girl. he has a lot of problems and a console comp. you solved was in 10 months behind the bar, they said that he will get psychological treatment after that, he will get that. but he will be at lodge when he is all told to prism. and i don't sing, he will. ready just be cured because he has a few hours, was a psychotherapists. it has to be tackled with manny status. for example. there has to be better pre mansion there have to be the steps of education in school, but off grownups as well. that have to be steps of tara p and head for the traumatized and as well they have to be steps of regret on this raising and steps of consciousness building and our societies. do you think people lead countries like australia taking these guys in from abroad?
1:15 am
should have they say mind that they need a lot of assimilation if you like that a lot of looking after it's not just you know, hey, you're safe. there's a lot more to be dealt with as well. if you decide to take them, it's not enough just to give them some money and say others integration program nice to come. well come, they should really be brought into the middle of society. and that's a long way to go. you see these people, they are 5 to 10 times as many crimes, specially crime is related to women as the average australian citizen. it's also the sort of people that come, it's not the poor starving rural people coming, but it's people with some cash from the cities. they're mostly comedies, asylum seekers here. and they often are involved in crimes, in petty crimes and own countries. the problem is not so easy to handle. it's not like we shouldn't instrumental lies the case to say it's just the afghan people, all the migrants. i think we should go deeper, of course,
1:16 am
and use the maya events. there are some who do crimes, but in our society as well, the asylum system of today's an invitation to betray your future host country. you have to pretend to invent causes of political or sexual persecution. and we noted in 99 percent, these cases don't exist. so if you come here you are, you're invited to be dishonest, are the people come through 567 safe country? so if they really would flee, they could stay in turkey, they could any around, they could stay in macedonia, but they come to germany, austria, to switzerland, to sweden, and these countries where they are well off. so it's in fact and migration into the system. meanwhile, he says, his presidency in afghanistan is vital and they want the blocking, calling a looming social and economic crisis in the country that is a deadly explosion. in kabul, killed several people at a funeral. we going live to our correspondence there in the capital. in the next
1:17 am
few minutes i've written is heading for an acute animal welfare disaster. the country's pig produce is a warning mass because of a severe shortage of butch's and slaughterhouse work is to tackle a national backlog of life stock on farms. we are within a couple of weeks of having to consider moscow of animals in this country. if we don't have facebook chairs, if we don't have that skill and we are going to end up getting those pegs, but them not entering the food supply chain, they will go full rendering. they will be and you know, they won't enter the seats class chain and that is incredibly wasteful, especially when the government's very cane. all man progressing in terms of the environment. and it really goes against everything they're trying to achieve their . what about a $120000.00 pigs now in danger? half to being cold with farms running out of space to keep them. the industry is
1:18 am
just one of many to in the u. k. currently grappling with labor shortages, the pandemic and breaks it to being singled act is the main reason for the shortfall as foreign workers ended up being booted out of the country due to border restrictions and new immigration rules. i don't remember. braxton is telling us that leaving the european union would lead to farmers being forced to should mirrors of pigs on their farms. i'm sure they said there were no downsides, only upsides this was criminal, there are people storing of the government are alone, healthy peaks to go into landfill. open your eyes, we need help, more skilled stuff unless you project common in healthy pigs killed and destroyed well, families are in poverty and can't afford food. briggs, it means briggs it. well, the national bank association senior policy advisor, rebecca vale, again, does urge immediate action to avoid and to shelves this christmas. well,
1:19 am
a lot of the pictures that used to work in the u. k. and not from miss country. i'm following except for the a we have lost a huge number of. busy butchers from our industry and we're down about 10 to 15 percent, say quite a considerable number because we've got about a 100000 pigs on som that should have gone through the app as well. that backlog is increasing by about $12000.00 pigs a week, and that is why it's so important that the government really lessons and brings in the labor that we need in order to be able to process safe pegs unless we have a resource. and in this sector, we are not going to be able to tell the pegs that we need to have in order for it 1st to have the quote that we would like to sail ourselves. this chris, less you watching? are you still compete? it's monday morning, a top candidate for berlin met rejects the idea of expropriating apartments from
1:20 am
major landlords. thus despite public support of the proposal to keep ren stein, we'll hear from the head of berlin tenants association. just after this break a join me every thursday on the alex simon, sure. i'll be speaking to guess from the world politics sport. business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. ah ah
1:21 am
1:22 am
a presence in afghanistan to prevent what it phase is a looming social collapse. let's go live now to kabbalistic with our senior correspondent that we're against the ever good morning team. we're at this blast is we're hearing killed several people. i suppose this is what the e foreign policy chief is warning about. well, the security situation, a deterioration is one of the points above which the e u is concerned about. but the other is, is obviously the, the social situation here which, which is already in a full blown crisis and now verges on calamity. these are, these are some of the numbers i mentioned, the old numbers, for example, the you had previously a month ago. said that a 3rd of the population of, of got us not have no idea when and from where they'll get their next meal. now we've heard from the u. n. and the world health organization that,
1:23 am
that is being compounded by the health care crisis. here in of garrison, out of the 2300 clinic supported internationally. they say that we 400 the left functional with, with basic necessities stacked with basic and medicines that are needed to, to, to keep functioning about 2000 of them. and now have been forced to shut down because they've run out of medicines because the doctors have walked out because they haven't received any money. and that is compounded by the financial situation in which people millions of i've got simply aren't being paid because there's nothing to pay them with before the war during the relatively speaking more prosperous years of the u. s. a. did national occupation, 75 percent of, of garrison's expenditure was funded from abroad. so these are cash contributions from the united states, europe, and other countries. those have entirely stopped that even of garrison's money,
1:24 am
which had had saved up, has been frozen. and international bank accounts of got a son has now been cut off from all of them. and the situation, as i said, verges on collaborative calamity that will be felt worldwide. afghanistan is experiencing a serious humanitarian crisis, and a socio economic collapse is louis, which would be dangerous for afghans to region and its national security. so the question is on, if we should have a minimal e presence on which all member states agree, but when and how we're working on possible options taking into account the security situation. i just, i just want to bring home how dial the situation is even during the occupation again, the more prosperous, relatively speaking years. millions of people in afghanistan, especially here. and in kabul in the big cities that heat their homes in the harsh winter months with plastic the,
1:25 am
the in car city would stink of burning plastic because wood is precious. wool is expensive for, for ordinary afghans. now people here, they have no idea where they'll be, they'll be able to afford waste plastic plastic bottles to heat their homes during the winter months. they get on top of a being unsure where they'll get food from and where they'll get the money to pay for food on top of being, being restricted from access to proper health care. because clinics simply don't have the medicine though, the doctors have to pay at says of the situation is incredibly dry, is incredibly severe. and what these had, ashleigh 8 organizations in some international countries. a things will give the taliban aid and of galveston aid if they do this. if they meet these criteria, if they take these political steps of this is called conditional aid. and in this
1:26 am
case, considering the thing with player with the conditional aid, in this case where so much of the country is on the verge of starvation, easy zer, restricted again. from, from receiving proper health care condition laid becomes less aid and more blackmail. and on top of that, the taliban is also adamant that it won't be coerced out my advice to the world neighbors, muslims, and particularly afghans is to leave of dentist unto afghans. the world cannot build of canister no way. we have reached our goal brothers, but it requires its protection is not the end. the world is still close and against us, the world still tries to impose governments on us under this of that name. they wish for destruction, paralysis and damage of these lam. a camera of, of gaston aid is still coming in what a precious little quantities are being sent. that is unconditional aid that is
1:27 am
keeping the country for now from from absolute collapse. but it is nowhere near enough going, going into the future to make sure that of gaston has a stable for the, for the month ahead of the security situation here, as was mentioned is also a sort of severe. it is also critical because the fighting, the, the, the war hasn't ended, it is now apparent that there will be a protracted prolonged conflict between the taliban and isis. we have seen an escalating isis attacks and intensify attacks all over the country. again, what we saw yesterday attack the 2nd biggest most in of gun a son during the funeral of the mother of a highly placed taliban official and other areas of the country. there have been shootings. bombings carried out by isis against the taliban. there were raised here in the, in cobble last night, the taliban claiming that they caught and,
1:28 am
and killed a number of isis operative. so given the, the, the security situation here, given the humanitarian situation here at the crisis in afghanistan, these is nowhere near over. indeed, it is intensified it is a very di apache pain. they're more at. okay, thanks for that. it was heart mcgasey reporting lifer from cabal that result candidate for berlin mare has spoken out against a plan to place the property of major corporate landlords into public hands. something that has seen wide spread public support recently in the fight to curb rents going up in the car in the german capital for me, the share of expropriation is already a red line. i did not want to live in a city that sends the signal, this is where expropriation is taking place. the expropriation debate alone is damaging berlin as a location. we need investment in infrastructure,
1:29 am
but we also need effective tenant protection in my opinion. expropriation is, are not part of the tool kit will in a non binding referendum, more than half of berlin resident residence support the expropriation of apartments from large companies. according to organizes that would stop growth of friends in the german capital. some large german real estate companies, however, stand against the move, calling it unconstitutional, and almost impossible to implement. we spoke to berlin tenants, representative. she believes the problem of constant renting traces creates immense difficulties for people dare belly. never long since about 2010 rents have been rising constantly. and this, despite the fact that barely and authorities were not indifferent, but try to take all possible measures to control their growth. however, the proposed net rent without heating and other additional costs ranges from $14.00 to $19.00 euros for berlin as more than half of whom are eligible for social
1:30 am
housing. this cost becomes prohibitively high. these grades great difficulties if they want to change their place of residence and find a new apartment on belinda where the referendum is just the latest attempt to rein in the housing market. there it came after the overturning of berlin's rent cap that was supposed to freeze the prices for nearly all apartments in berlin. for 5 use, the measure was ruled unconstitutional though, which led to thousands of berlin is marching against high rent prices in the german capitol. berlin tens, representative again thinks the rejection of the results may lead to a loss of trust. i'm building up the here. stephanie's will fight against the communist zation law would definitely face lawsuits. but if the berlin senate, the new berlin government did not take into account the real a referendum in which more than 50 percent of berlin has voted, in favor of making such a decision than i think the government would lose the trust the voters. i think that the berlin senate will.
