ah, ah ah, this matter, the 4th of october for moscow, a bond, michelle, exposed to reveal shady of short dealings with the was rich and powerful, including former british premier, tony blair, and sitting cheque prime minister andre babich with the united states, named as a leading tax haven by say the situation is stabilizing, no one's going to pretend his completely back to normal to which it was, but he is, is getting it that way. a while officials in the u. k, than to play the ongoing fuel crisis. they're, they've now deployed military force it's day across the country and a bid to ease the emergency. as many petrol stations remain, try especially in the southeast, with cues of angry drivers waiting for supplies,

leak documents, apparently confirmed systematic. u. k. meddling in russia with large sums being channelled through the british embassy in moscow. and next, coming up, a warning you may find these pictures, disturbing. the family and friends of a young afghan footballer who had rhythmically fell from a plane while trying to flee his country, voice, their grievances, remembering one of the grimmest episode to the troop withdrawal. the entire afghan nation loved him. he was our hero. no one can feel his place in the team and in our house. ah, oh hello, welcome to the program, kevin o' in here with you down at international this out from moscow with our latest and 1st opening a pandora's box,

a new expose i on tax havens has revealed how some of the world's rich and famous try to hide their wealth, among the names mentioned, former british premier tony blair and incumbent check prime minister andre by bush, the leak details how politicians, businessman and celebrities evade taxes using secretive offshore companies. the pandora paper singled out the us as a leading tac save and to donal quarter shed some more details without calling bray . people definitely were anticipating something as big as what happened in 2016 when the pat, 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, 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 core 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 that got some pretty good, the tax breaks the company's them they. so if his big platform is to deal with tax evasion, has many leaders do where 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 corporate corporate owners, they avoiding 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 201820. 17 eli musk page is 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, there might be nothing important or of value to mention about these offshore assets . now we also did hear from whistleblower, edward snowden. he let out a tweet about the report on this leak. so let's take a listen. the humor 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. for the investigation also named somebody the ledges to be a former clean and lover of vladimir posted and the mother of one of his children spent lana kreger naga. his alleged to be the owner of a monaco apartment bought via an offshore company. although the relationship with the russian president never been confirmed. meantime, a friend of the president also appears to be in the papers, but not mister potent himself as we are herds are the papers also revealed to you. a state of south dakota has emerged as a major destination of wealthy people to avoid tax. although experts we spoke to said they're not surprised. the very thing that the united states criticized switzerland in the past for it is now doing the famous numbered accounts. look, the real lesson here is,

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's an amazing tax evasion taking place around the world. and there's also a lot of unaccounted, unaccountable capital sloshing around the world. you know, using various off shore havens and, and governments tolerate this and, and banks make a lot of money off this. and the u. s. 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 a crime participant and this kind of a really crazy, monstrous,

no tax avoidance for less attractive fuel travels in the u. k. next. and there is a crystal on the balance of petrol stations. they're still saying they're running dry and angry, drivers forming huge cues from today. the u. k. governments deploy military personnel around the country to try to help ease the crisis. our correspondent, shoddy edwards, dash, the reports next then from london is day 10 now of the petrol crisis situation. and the united kingdom is still seeing many cars backed up outside of petrol stations. people waiting hours to fill up that tanks and even the public transportation is being diverted away to avoid all of this gridlock things have gotten so bad. now, the minute tree has now been deployed and drafted in to try and get the fuel to the petrol station. i think it's also really bold that we can actually call in the military at a time like this fold. i think for support to give that confidence and have a misha that's there as a precaution, because as i say,

the situation is stabilizing. no one's going to pretend his completely back to normal. i wish it was, but it's getting it that way. so the government says that this shortage is easing the problem is guessing best said the prime minister also reiterating started javits comments just that the all the being deployed is simply a precautionary measures. now, around 200 military personnel getting involved in this operation that trying to focus on is london on the southeast region. they argue that these are the west affected for myself. personally, i'm a little bit worried because in my journey on the way to work this morning, my call was flashing red at me, meaning i need to get to a petrol station. as soon as. 6 possible, but of course i'm not the only one a tool, millions of people are now affected. in fact, it's such a hot topic that discussing the actual situation is as common as discussing the weather here in the united kingdom, which goes to show just how many people affected,

particularly those people working at the petrol pump stations. if you're going to fuel a 6 or 7, a creek to cross one minute, one day you're, you're fluffy, you'll be taking 3 times as much as you normally do. they run a fuel and i look good. so that each other i just doesn't get sold because nobody comes in. well, the last 10 days have also be defined by a bit of a blame game on the one hand, gentleness of being attacked, saying that the media is really reporting on a big headlines and then on the individual level as well. people pointing the finger of blame. a directly at those people panic, a buying the seems remotely irrational, especially the crux of all of this is the very fact that a 100 a 1000 laurie drive is how now have now had a mass exodus leaving the united kingdom. there are many reasons for that,

particularly things like the direct sit with these laurie drive is staying in the countries that they are from. so this seems to be a direct result of numerous things, particularly, like breck said, and it doesn't seem that it's going to be a quick fix for the united kingdom. known, i mean tom, across the channel, the whole of europe, his own, the brink of an energy crisis of a different kind. gas prices continue to hit record highs, surging $121200.00 per 1000 cubic meters. and with wind to lou, make their big concerns about how the block is going to manage. the crunch shall do bend ski reports on it. there is a lot of finger pointing going on as the block faces this unprecedented energy crisis. that winter crunch is looming and according to some, this is a problem that has been years in the making. let's have a look at some of the main issues across europe at the moment. and we'll start here in france, where there has been a price increase this month of 12.6 percent in gas tariffs that follows several

months of other rises. the prime minister shawn cast excess. that will not be a freeze and they will not be any more increases. but of course, that doesn't mitigate the months of increases that people have already seen on their household bills. then in spain, where price is there, have tripled in the last year. i mean, we know that the spanish government is made emergency measures to try and mitigate the worst impact on the poor. but small business unions are just saying, this is an impossible situation. coming after the cobit crisis. businesses just cannot take any more. and then in italy, prices are set to so by 40 percent, the italian government is announced to package over $3000000000.00 euros to try and aid that. and then in germany, we also heard last week that one, the power plant had to completely shut up shop. and it's not the 1st time at all to do the same a number of times in september. why?

well, because it couldn't get enough co. this crisis when it comes to natural gas, has pushed more people towards buying coal, depleting those stocks as well. so it seems like this is a double whammy. so what's behind this looming catastrophe? well that you can all agree on that, but some member states see that this is a problem that he was cause itself because it's pushed too fast too quickly to move to greener energy in at the same time as moved away from fossil fuels. and essentially what it's done is, is last the entire book exposed energy price is currently soaring across the u and putting unprecedented pressure on both energy companies and all our citizens when designing energy and climate policy is we have to ensure their social acceptability . otherwise we risk their failure. well, the ear flatly deny is this. it would check it, it says actually this crisis shows that the problem is that

a is too much dependence in the u on fossil fuels. and the reality is that the only way to mitigate crises like this in the future is to move harder and faster towards green energy instead of being paralyzed or slowing things down because of the price hike that in the energy sector, we should speed things up in the transition to renewable energy, so the affordable renewable energy becomes available for everyone was the e u, as scratching its head over what to do, it's also looking potentially for a scapegoat. and some have suggested that russia is to blame for this crisis, saying that it is holding back on natural gas reserves. russia says that's not the case. in fact, russia says it's willing to step up to the hour of need of it to you repeat neighbors. and increase the supplies of gas to meet those needs, those demands. but what needs to happen for that to take place is the certification of the nord stream to pipe. this is a pipe that was completed last month and would see natural gas be able to be

delivered directly to germany. but before that can happen, that certification needs to take place. that is something that you find out. i mean, this is our light. he to disgust this week as they meet to discuss this entire crisis. but the idea that you finance ministers are discussing bread and butter subjects like energy bills and how people are going to pay them really gives you a sense of how this crisis is. and as they scratching their heads, looking for a solution, there are tens of millions of households who are concerned about what this winter is going to bring. the difficult choices that they will have to make in order to either heat their homes or feed their families all the while. it is wondering how it will keep the lights on independent, jealously reverse bugs, meal iran. he told me he expects prices to soon be back to normal though an odd stream to, to be carrying it playing a key role in that there is no lack of gas in the world. and

a good example of it is the fact that the price of gas is not increased by one euros sent into united states over the last few months. while can europe, it has increased by more than a 100 percent over one year, which is of course a lot. so now is the time to support the b. o, the customers, the consumers, the end consumers to avoid a price hike. now in the winter, but by spring, this will be finished. everybody knows that the easiest is of course to get the gas from russia, from all stream to. and again, there is gas everywhere in russia, not stopping this gas from being the liver thing is that we need to finalize all string to n is a matter of months at most the british embassy here moscow's declining to comment today on findings that the u. k. is massively funding anti government sentiment here in russia of the kremlin demanded britain, explain, leaked documents,

apparently confirming london funneled money through the embassy. i can tell you we've reached out to the british, foreign and home offices, as well as the countries embassy of moscow. so far, no one's got back. he goes down off, breaks down the story. couple of documents have been made public including the general outline of activities of the yuki embassy here in moscow. dated years 2019 to 2020. in total, the whole data dump consists of more than a $150.00 pages, and on those pages are well details as to how the u. k. embassy and london by proxy have been trying to sway the public opinion here in russia on some key topics, or they supported certain groups, like for example, the l g b t community. and they also give the list of people who executed the tasks, who well received funding for it, and even the some journalists and media outlets who also received funding from london. here's how the russian foreign ministry commented on the revelations,

the scale of funding and project activities. even a cursory glance is simply shocking. for an agent come on. they had children, independent journalists, and activists. for instance, the embassy here has been trying to groom a whole network of what they call independent journalists, while independent. yet still, they were reimbursed for their work by the u. k. taxpayers pounds. also there's a list of media outlets. we're also, at least in part funded by london, and some of them are already with a tag of a foreign agent here in russia might seem like it's not a big deal. but imagine a similar headline, but with the roles won't swapped, that he was the russian embassy engaged in similar activities, but in the u. k. now the embassy here we reached out for a common to them, but they have refused to do so saying that they simply do not comment on the documents. also, we have reached out to the u. k. foreign office and home office, but we are still to hear back from them. when we do,

we'll let you know next. all eyes may have been on america's disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan of late, but the u. s. military is now facing or evolved from within as its own soldiers speak out against the leadership and the damage done by woke practices. a all those people did die in vain. people are upset because their senior leaders let them down and none of them are raising their hands and accepting accountability are saying we match this up. we were taught that the country was able to, that it was founded in 1619 and not 1776. and that whites are inherently evil to i've made that very clear to my own people, but in the light of a hyper politicized environment. i will not tolerate any discrimination of any kind

based on politics. this is really about the freedom, the american people, the right to choose your own medical procedures, the right to decide what's going to be injected into your, your body and what's not. those are a natural human right that we can take away from people with thank you for checking in this monday without international live. we appreciate it . not coming up. uh huh. goes on and on. does make corona virus case is now on the rise again in russia, as the kremlin reiterates, not enough is being done to prove that vaccination is the only answer because i'm

sorry more, i'm kevin. i mean, by the way, back in 90 seconds from that blue with oh, is your media a reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation for community. are you going the right way? or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend, who join us in the depths or remain in the

shallows. join me every thursday on the alex salmon show, but i'll be speaking the guess on the world of politics. sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. oh, coming up to 22 and a half policy, i will, as i said before, the break, then use him for russia to tell you about next, where the karone of our situation continue still to cause alarm again. the country's health watch dog describing the latest situation is extremely difficult to me. true power reports while russia is experiencing another surgeon corona virus . cases, just over the past 24 hours over 25000 new cases haven't confirmed and over 800 deaths. now, officials at this point say that the elderly,

the group most at risk from the disease are being infected at an alarmingly high rate. moscow's mayor suggests abandoned, has noted that the elderly still remained the least vaccinated group in moscow. and the kremlin spokespersons meet to scoff has lamented the insufficient rates of vaccination throughout the country. the base of vaccination in russia, despite the complete readiness of the entire infrastructure and this by the opportunities provided leaves much to be desired. in all likelihood, it's due to an insufficient campaign to clarify, there is no alternative to vaccination. what's most alarming to officials right now at this point is that the infection rates are nearing levels seen back in january the peak throughout this year. and over the last week, infection rates throughout the country have gone out by 30 percent and hospitalizations have increased by 20 percent. in fact, hospitals at this point are being warned to prepare for pretty much anything because the situation is further complicated by an expected surgeon, seasonal diseases. as for measures to combat the crisis,

a russian regions are at liberty to introduce whatever measures or restrictions that they deemed necessary according to the situation of the region. however, most of them still adhere to guidelines issued by roscoe, nazare, rushes, ferrel, consumer rights wash, dog, and some of those measures. for example, include all that events for over $3000.00 people are basically prohibited throughout the entire country, while sporting events and other venues. most of them can only operate as cohen fries owns, but with this latest surgeon infections, many regions have already started introducing harsher measures like q arcos code passes self isolation and with the numbers expected to rise in the next coming weeks. it's expected that more regions will start to try and combat the crisis. so while the world continues to battle corona virus in sweden, where nobel prizes or rewards did some surprise the ship may be, you are to the da, she is award for physiology. medicine wasn't 9, t a coven 19 affiliated. instead. the royal swedish academy of sciences named to us

based scientists, as winners for their discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch. still really important, maybe not so on topic, considering how much research come into koby 90. the jew, despite the mechanics of how humans are perceived hot and cold and pressure through nerve impulses, more than 300 people have been named as candidates for prizes in various categories . awards continue until october. the 11th. finally, one of the grimmest episodes of the evacuation from afghanistan was surely when that young footballer horrifically fell from a plane while trying to flee. he was seen as one of the countries, brighter sporting talons before that and now than a special tournaments been held in his memory. ah

and worry was one of many african he's trying to flee the country as the plane gained altitude, he fell to his death. ah, by the saki was more than a brother to me retrained together for the last 4 years. god bless him. no one can feel his place in the team and in our house, hey, law, this kid i'm wearing belonged to zaki, but it's mine. now. he was a better football, isn't me? we even called him messy. the entire afghan nation loved him. he was our hero. ah, guys, if anybody, phenomenal, exactly was one of our best players, a wonderful body and a strong forward on his team. today they're playing with outsider and we can feel the difference in them. my son's like he was a national player, a very talented boy, but i never came here before this my 1st time and he's not with us today. i missed

him so much in memory was jackie and worry and that's our update. so far this edition. thank you for watching reporting for moscow. i'm covered, i'm for me in the great tamia today. have a good rest of this monday. i know these are the full people who pulled the trigger. i survive something on survival. one of the hardest things that i had to face was not having a face at a low expectation of life. i accepted death. i accept the fact that my dad's work, we had no fears. dell change pretty fast for shots.

different stories behind the bullets. a when i was sure seemed wrong when i'll prove, just don't hold any new world. yes, to shape out disdain becomes the advocate. an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look so common ground. oh, is your media a reflection of reality? in a world transformed what will make you feel safe? isolation for community. are you going the right way,

or are you being led somewhere? direct. what is true was is great. in the world corrupted, you need to descend, have join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah. when they start crossing for this area and the desert, this is where the muslim thing pathology happened and it's different reserves. the heat or the cold like it's very cold at nights and it's very hot that

the day nobody can carry enough water to. so by that it's made to me so easy to connect because i'm coming from there, but it's also so hard to see like to see that people don't understand here and it's, it's hard every day is the struggle because this is not easy. so people are dying in justin. justin. nobody should died that way. nobody should lose their life trying to get a better life or trying to help their families there. come in for come from countries are in conflict, then they damage. so poor people though they don't have any chances this are by they basically.
