7:05 pm
that phrase hadn't formed long before. that he was young, too honest. it was always a difficult decision force trailer. it was the right decision force trailer and worked closely with the united states and united kingdom and we kept them up to date the u. s. administration with well, we're at and now there's discussions with france that set for the g 20 leaders. summit 2021 next year. the event moves to indonesia with the leaders meeting in bali. peter, all of a r t. rowe attempts by the us and france to patch things up took 2nd place to the sweeping endorsement of a minimum 15 percent tax on the world's largest corporations. has heard peter talking about their economists explained to us why wealthy nations like the us will be the main beneficiaries. it will never be in the, in the, in the interest of a government, the u. s. government and any other countries to get more taxes. but what they do
7:06 pm
with it, i mean that's going to really influence benefits new doesn't generally speaking countries while here, companies rather basin of other countries are going to be much less affected by this than the global ban of taxable effect. for i personally wouldn't try to create a, a global block of taxes. but one thing that could be done is also to lower the barriers to, to bringing technology skills, information transfer to elevations of the world and actually texting barrier to that actually don't. they don't, they don't hope that they are a barrier to discredit information. the raises productivity and raises standards of living and all that sort of thing. the fate of whistleblower joint massage remained in limbo this week after a 2 day extradition appeal hearing at london's high court. the west is challenging britons decision not to extradite him to america on health grounds. he's wanted on 17 charges of espionage and one of conspiracy to hack a government computer after exposing alleged to western war crimes. if convicted on
7:07 pm
all accounts, he could face a prison sentence of 175 years, although it may be months before a final verdict in the case is reached. the i the judges just said they will take everything into consideration, but know, ruling with hands about immediately the entire day was devoted to hearing arguments before by the prosecution for the grounds of appeal. why they wanted to appeal a judge's decision not to extra by the phone. and there were 5 grounds of appealing to the 2 main topic. so of course it's on just health and the assurances, a diplomatic assurance is given by the united states in terms of health. what the prosecution have been trying to do is accuse a key medical, extra witness professor compliment of being disingenuous of misleading the court. why concealing the identity of a thunder partner, stella morris, and the 2 children, we finally heard the yahoo news story,
7:08 pm
the investigative journalism that was done a few weeks ago where 30 us officials confirmed what we already knew from anonymous testimony that the c i was discussing plans to potentially kidnap or poison julian songs in london. and so this was brought up in the context of why couple men, why profess coleman should not disclose the identity of a song just partner and their 2 children because he feared for their safety. when it comes to the assurances the united states is giving. they say that drilling assumption service centers in australia, but australia has not even indicated if they will take you in his arms. this is a process that takes many years. the truth is the drilling a songs will most definitely be played in at least administrative segregation. and if not, he'll be sent to a special housing unit. so there's a wide array of tools that not a safe youth to break him once he's on us soil. and then we'll certainly we'll during both days of the hearing of sanchez supporters rallied outside the court, they wanted his immediate release and chanted journalism is not a crime. others express growing concern over his health, pink floyd,

7:10 pm
possibly since the 2nd world war with whom they did not agree. and you will find that there is no justice to be found in the united states. i am shall angry. and i'm so bad and i am so disgusted with the united kingdom. oh, i did a radio program last night, john ship, tim was on it and he was extremely eloquent. and i asked him how he, how he manages his grief and, and he was absolutely, he was so moving to listen to, he says willy, he puts it to one side as it goes through his life. and his life is entirely devoted to the freeing of his son, so he can go to his wife and children. and john says that late at night he may retreat into his melancholy. and i felt my heart lurch in my
7:11 pm
chest. as i listened to this man saying yes, and i felt his melancholy hit me like a. i'm a blow on my chest. we are not going anywhere at all. and our voice is going to get louder and louder and louder to julian some to say free problems. you got an anti joe biden song called let's go. brandon has quickly climbed to the top of america's itunes hip hop chart. despite being pulled from some social networks, youtube removed the track by wrapper bright bison gray, claiming that it contained medical misinformation. and the song takes aim at president biden's bungled afghan withdrawal and his handling of the corona virus pandemic. youtube said the platform doesn't allow claims about you covered that conflict with medical guidelines. a charged wrapper denies. there's a 1000000 songs best out right now. and if you're trying to act like a song,
7:12 pm
i can't say i'm going to saw where you banded. that means you're bending my art, that means bending my you was going on, you can ban. are you back anything? i don't curse on my music. i'm a positive music and i do have my views and my music. i don't even curse. and i'm the most sense, a wrapper in the world. how is that possible? i say what i believe in my song, everything i say to myself, i've been in real life and this is what i believe it should be illegal for social media companies to be able to change their guy lives every week. i've been delete things that came prior to that they actually are playing with our free speech. nobody is messing with them, they're missing the bus. the title of the hit comes from a growing internet catchphrase. it went viral after and then b. c reporter was interviewing nascar racing driver, brendan brown and said it sounded like a crowd behind him was chanting, let's go. brandon. apparently failing to realize what people were actually saying. yeah, ah,
7:13 pm
now the song comes as joe biden's approval rating has noticeably dipped according to a new survey. it currently sits below 45 percent down 11 points since his inauguration in january, meaning his popularity has declined faster than all of his predecessors since the 2nd world war. now bryson grey again says that the president is finding the job tough going to try to kill a mean people. now a lottery will say, let's go branding for me. that's perfect. so somebody doesn't curse back or so my the same for president biding people call trumpet dictatorship. there's nothing more similar to what they say to step in what jo buyers currently doing and what a lot of countries are going to try to segregate. that's needed to i'm vaccinated. business like jim crow, 2.0. meanwhile, the world medical watchdog continues to sound the alarm about the ongoing covered

7:15 pm
theatrical nature did not fight for georgia in 2008 it onto planned to fight for children. there was not the slightest consideration of alpha fighting for georgia and schools. it didn't fight the ukraine in 2014 item. and there was absolutely no intention anywhere in western europe to send a single dock, short danish or german french soldier to fight in credit to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race. his on offense, very dramatic development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very critical time. time to sit down and talk a
