9:02 pm
throwing coins over their shoulder into that famous landmark, hoping that that brings some look to one particular area in which they have made a, as few steps forward. and that is on a, a global minimum level of corporation tax. now this was an initiative that was put forward by the united states am if you listen to those who are giving the full backing to the u. s. president on to joe biden, himself on from joe biden himself, of course, we've heard it hailed as a real success. here at the g. 20 lead is representing 80 percent of the world's g . d. p. allies and competitors alike made clear that support for strong global minimum tax. this is more than just a tax deal. it's diplomacy reshaping our global economy and delivering for our people. while the plan is to put in place a minimum 15 percent rate of corporation tax across the globe. now the plan is by doing that, that you would an increase the rate of cooperation tax in some countries that they
9:03 pm
would then be able to use that extra revenue that's generated in order to fund social projects with the idea of pulling people out of poverty. this hasn't gone down well with everyone though skeptic say that a lonely, really benefit those nations that are already wealthy. the plan from the u. s. point of view is to raise their a corporation tax level, which already stands at around 21 percent up to about 28 percent. critics, including charity is an organization's looking to fight poverty on happy that this is the way forward. in fact, oxfam has called this a mockery of fairness. the world is experiencing the largest increase in poverty indicates and the massive explosion inequality. but this they will deliver or nothing to hold either. instead, it is already being seen by some wealthy nations as an excuse to cut domestic corporate tax rates risk in a new race to the bottom. well, the g 20 seems to be ending with want to, if you, that we thought was put to bed before that even got underway. raising its head again, knots the, the dispute between australia, france,
9:04 pm
and the united states really over the orchestra deal. now that was the defense pockets the between australia, the united kingdom in the united states. what it ultimately did that defense pack though was cut from out of a $66000000000.00 us dollar deal to provide submarines to australia. we saw us president joe by meeting with front of the manual micron on friday, reconciliation the pose word all over the hot shit. well and truly varied. hun shakes. no, i'm sorry. no, i'm sorry. no, thank you. no thank you. being offered from the to lead is really and it now turns out, so that what was said by joe biden, that he hadn't being made fully aware of exactly what was going on with the deal. might not be the case, but now listen to what the us president had to say. and what is come out from the australian prime minister. i was under the impression that fridge had been formed long before that he was not gone through. i honestly know you had not,
9:05 pm
it was always a difficult decision for the trail where it was the right decision for the trailer . and we work closely with the united states and united kingdom and we kept them up to date the u. s. administration with where we're at and now there is discussions with france. that's it for the g. 20 leaders. summit 2021 next year. the event moves to indonesia with the leaders meeting in folly. peter, all of a r t. rowe attends 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. and economist explained to us why wealthy nations like the us will be the main beneficiaries. it will never be in the interest of the government, the u. s. government, and any other wealthy countries to get more faxes, but what they do with it. i mean, that's going to really influence who's been who benefits and who does it. generally speaking, countries and wealthier companies rather based involving countries that could re much less affected by this than the global bit of tactful effect. go to work. i
9:06 pm
personally wouldn't try to create a, a global block of minimum batches. but one thing that could be done is also to lower the barriers to, to bringing technology skills, information transfer to all the nations of the world with actually taxes or a barrier to that taxes don't, don't, they don't, they don't help better. and they, they're a barrier to the spread of information, the raises productivity and raises standards of living. and all that from the fate of whistleblower, julianna's sans 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 american health grounds. he's wanted on 17 charges of espionage and one of conspiracy to hack a government computer after exposing alleged western war crimes. if convicted on all counts, he could face a prison sentence of 175 years. although it may be months before a final verdict in the cases reached
9:07 pm
the i the judges just said they will take everything into consideration, but no ruling was handed out immediately. the entire day was devoted to hearing arguments before by the prosecution for the grounds of appeal, why they want to appeal to judge's decision not to extra by the songs. and there were 5 grounds of appealing to the 2 main topics, or of course, san jose health. and the assurance is a diplomatic assurances given by the united states in terms of health. what the prosecution i've been trying to do is accuse a key medical, extra witness professor compliment of being disingenuous of misleading the court by concealing the identity of a thunder partner stella morris and the 2 children we finally. 5 heard the yahoo news story, 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 as orange in london. and so this was
9:08 pm
brought up in the context of why couple men, why profess coleman should not disclose the identity of a son, just partner and their 2 children because he feared for their safety. when it comes to the assurances that the united states is giving, they say that drilling a function service sentence in australia, but australia has not even indicated if they will take julian his arms. this is a process that takes many years. the truth is the drew and his arms will most definitely be placed 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 united states can use to break him once he's on us soil and then most certainly will. during both days of the hearing assumption, supporters right rallied outside the court. they want his immediate release and chanted, journalism is not a crime. others expressed growing concern over his health, pink floyd, co founder and long time assigned support. roger waters told r t that he believes the whole case is a huge miscarriage of justice. this is an absolute
9:09 pm
nonsense that this man has been locked up for a single day. whether it's in the ecuadorian embassy or in bell marsh. this is one of the most valuable human beings that we the human race have amongst us. he is deeply, deeply important to the potential for this race to survive on this planet in my view. that is why julian sanchez is in prison because he's interfering with the accounting planter. still the planet sort of rape it to death and then destroy. it is a disgusting miscarriage of justice. look at guantanamo bay, asked shaka, alma, my friend, ask anybody who has been in the hands of the u. s. judiciary. and at any point, possibly since the 2nd world war with a did not agree. and you will find that there's no justice to be found in the
9:10 pm
united states. i'm so angry and i'm so bad. i'm 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 all 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 home 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 chest. as i listened to this man saying, and i felt his melancholy hit me like a, i'm a blow on my chest. we are not going on anywhere at all. and our voice is going to
9:11 pm
get louder and louder and louder. julian sanchez said, free. i can promise you that an anti joe biden song called let's go. brandon has quickly climbed to the top of america's i tunes hip hop chart . despite being pulled from some social networks. youtube removed the track by rapper bryson gray climbing it contained medical misinformation. now the song takes aim at president biden's bungled afghan withdrawal and his handling of the corona virus pandemic. you tube said the platform doesn't allow claims about covered that conflict with medical guidelines. a charge the wrapper denies. there's a 1000000 songs best out right now. and if you're trying to act like a song, 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 band arlene, your band, 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
9:12 pm
the most sense a wrapper in the world. how is that possible? i say what i believe in my songs, everything. i say myself, i've been in real life and this is what i believe it should be illegal or social media company 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 head comes from a growing internet catch phrase. it went viral after and b. c reporter was interviewing nascar race driver, brendan brown. he said it sounded like the crowd behind him was chanting, let's go, brandon. apparently failing to realize what people were actually saying. yeah. ah, now the song comes as joe biden's approval rating has noticed, simply dipped according to a new survey. it currently sits below 45 percent down 11 points since his
9:13 pm
inauguration in january, meaning his popularity has declined faster than all of his predecessors since the 2nd world war. bryson grey again says the president is finding the job tough going . trying to kill a mean a people now a lot will say let's go brand new for me. that's perfect. somebody doesn't curse black or so my the same for president biting people call trumpet dictatorship. there's nothing more similar to what jo. buyers currently billing and what a lot of companies are going to try to segregate vaccinated and vaccinated this. this is like jim crow, 2.0. meanwhile, the world medical watchdog continues to sound the alarm about the ongoing covey. the pandemic, the w. h o insists it can only be stopped. one way the pandemic will and when the world chooses to end it, it is in our hands. we have all the tools we need. effective public
9:14 pm
health tools and effective medical toombs still become the power t suspect from the january capital riot who has caught on camera encouraging people to storm the building is quietly removed from the eyes most wanted lift. the decision has prompted questions as to whether he was actually connected to the government. the story much more after a short break, stay with us is, is our to international ah, i

9:16 pm
2 trains collided in a tunnel in the city of salisbury, in southwest england, firefighters and emergency services evacuated. passengers after one train hit an object in derailed, and the 2nd trained and collided with it. one of the drivers was taken to the hospital after becoming trapped in his cab services from southwest england into london were suspended. british transport, police have declared the crash. a major incident now it is not often someone disappears entirely from the f. b i's most wanted list. but that has exactly what has happened to a man who is said to be a key figure in january capitol hill rights in washington. he was caught on camera telling people to storm the building. it has gotten some including republican party members, raising questions about who exactly the mystery figure is in the week caleb up and reported on that for us and individual featured and videos calling for people to
9:17 pm
enter the capital building even before the january 6 capital riot and was seen on the day, january 6, ushering crowds into the capital building has been identified by law enforcement as arizona resident re apps re apps in arizona man seen invite le circulated videos telling trump support is on multiple occasions to go into. the capitol also seemed to have acted on his own. i don't really like to be a resident with us and we need, we need to know, i'll say, oh, we need to go in the camera. oh, ah, not surprisingly, he was on the f. b, i's most wanted list and was referred to as suspect. 16 for some time f, b i w f o is seeking the public's assistance in identifying those who made unlawful entry into the u. s. capital building on january the 6th. but now suspect 16 has
9:18 pm
been scrubbed from the f b i website. now if you take a look at the way back machine from archive dot org, you can see that from january 8th, 2021, all the way until june, 30th suspect 16 was pretty clearly highlighted, but suddenly, on july, 1st, he wasn't on the website any longer. now if he'd been arrested, he would still be on the website just with arrested under his name, like others who have been apprehended. but he's not, he's just been scrubbed. this has prompted lawmakers to ask questions about whether or not there were f b. i provocative tours who may have helped events on january 6th to go the way they did far as we can find this individual has not been charged with anything. can you tell us without talking about particular incidents or particular videos? how many agents or assets of the federal government were present on january 6, whether they agitated to go into the capital and if any of them did
9:19 pm
a. so i'm not going to violate this norm of follow the rule of law. i'm not going to comment on an investigation that's ongoing. now the capital breach database has no entries or listings for re apps to some. that's a pretty big red flag. the ongoing mystery of re apps, he repeatedly appears in videos encouraging and inciting an invasion of the capital on january the 6th. yet for some reason has not yet been indicted or charged even as people with far less involvement have been re abs as a free man. he has never been arrested or charged nearly 10 months after july. the 6th, the fbi i in justice department still refused to comment on with the abs has ever been served, a search warrant. the f b. i 's record when it comes to things like protests and provocations, is not exactly squeaky claim. people can look up the history of cohen tell pro infiltration and other dirty deeds if january 6th is such a pivotal date in
9:20 pm
u. s. history as it's being presented. surely, questions like those surrounding suspect? 16 demand answers. caleb martin, r t. new york. facebook is undergoing something of a metamorphosis with a major rebranding, changing its corporate name to meta. it's part of a drive to broaden the company's brand recognition, to include other holdings such as instagram and what's up. the internet is joined in to help the rebranding, although perhaps not in the way facebook may have intended a mountain of means rapidly erupting, including the new name with facebook. sorry, mehta boss, mark zuckerberg face front and center in many a doctored pick. as aka berg though, is optimistic, the company's new direction is the way to go. facebook is one of the most used technology products in the history of the world. it's an iconic social media brand . over time, i hope we are seen as a met a verse company,
9:21 pm
and i want to anchor our work and our identity on what we're building towards facebook, changing his name to meta is so exciting. i've already forgotten that we just learned, they knew women were being sex traffic on the platform and did nothing. facebook is now meta, our new logo is a rubber band because our morals are elastic. oh, and we stretch the truth. it doesn't matter what you call it. there's still 7 are data. the new name was unveiled alongside plans to build a so called meta verse, an online virtual world, where people can play video games, work and communicate. the announcement pushed up the newly minted metas stock price by $1.00 and a half percent. and pondering how this new cyberspace universe might be implemented here is not one but 2 poly boy, us. within a matter of years in facebook gets its way. a lot of us could be spending much of our lives looking something like this. i think of hiring
9:22 pm
10000 people in europe to create a meta us for the non nods out there. i'll let the actual poly explain. the max of us is basically the matrix you create digital avatars of yourself like me, and then you put on your v r had set and away you go. you can walk around a virtual world and interact with people in real time. so doing things like shopping and dancing and studying together in a virtual space, the real world may struggle to compete. facebook founder and ceo mock stuck, a bug says that the met to verse is just the natural progression from the 2 d internet to the 3. the ones that are not buying to monopolize the massive us, it is far too late for that. the idea is that users will slip seamlessly from one virtual world into another. so instead of flying from paris to new york,
9:23 pm
for example, you digitally teleport yourself from facebook met us to google's, or apple's one. i'm a little you, boom is quaking in your boots at the thought of this mess of us. the future is already here. back in 2020 bracket, travis scott played a virtual concept within the fortnight wold which attracted over 12000000 viewers, which was a record at the time not to re brand, to have hot and on to the fact that there's bags of money to be made in the mess of us who he's already unveiled a virtual collection on the roadblock platform. while valencia olga is creating a bunch of clothes or skins as they're known for court nights. there's even companies sitting virtual real estate in the met us. if you're struggling to understand how this works, you're not alone. there is a building, boom,
9:24 pm
breaking out, but it's not happening in your backyard. it is happening in a fake world. so there are many, many versus there isn't just one. but the oldest one that the oldest crypto vs one is called the central and whether you're ready for life in the cloud or not facebook announcement that it's hiring an army of developers to build. this met us has been a rating success by one measure, at least i just spent 3 minutes talking about facebook virtual plans instead of the company's real world problems such as the whistleblower that just come out and said that the company puts profits over the uses safety show can lead monster zach a bug alone. yeah. a big bully some of the biggest names in business across europe and asia gathered in the italian city of verona. this week. climate change, the gas crisis and u relations were high on the agenda of the ration economic forum r t show davinsky was there for us. this is where the big questions were
9:25 pm
debated over 2 days at eurasian economic forum in verona as cop 26 now starting glasgow. the environment was definitely on many mines with a warning that it depends on strong political will. and the change in how we live our lives. 3 sheila capital environmental issues depend on 3 sides, consumers, businesses and politicians, and all of them oppose environmental solutions for consumers don't want to consume less. businesses want to increase profits to produce more and more. and politicians are afraid of discussing the issue is they may not be re elected if they order people to consume less and pessimists worry, it will all end in some sorts of environmental dictatorship. the viability of the new status on the world stage was also questioned. there were calls for it to find a clue, says strategic alliance with russia to build on the strength of you re here which could act as a balance to china and to the us. there were plenty of other hard
9:26 pm
hitting words to about the you particularly over its management of the current energy crisis. the we are in a complete a mass now a new room market her are failing, completing as prizes. her extraordinary. hi, it is approve of history. young and anxious, we rapid gas price growth in europe is mostly connected to an excess of confidence and renewable energy sources. climate ologist say that this year the wind force in europe was 15 percent lower than average. that negatively affected power generated by wind turbines and lead to the lack of gas reserves in europe. and we will be europeans would be very advice to enter into a reasonable dialogue with our supplier countries. instead of making acquisition. many you politicians may find it tempting to lift the burden of responsibility from
9:27 pm
themselves and perhaps lay the blame on someone else and you guessed it. in this case it is on russia. 6 but there are many who say that the facts do not add up in the east blame game with moscow. like it is it a high gas prices are linked to the miscalculations of the european union? as far as we know, russia has supplied about 15 percent more gas than its existing contracts cover. also, as for the gas that was supposed to come from the us, out of the 28000000000 europe received only 7 because the rest went asia. so what can we take away from verona? well, to some the panelists up, the world has changed and we need to be prepared for that change, which could significantly impact and government's business. and you and i, it's now a multi polar world. and if the e is to find a way to have a real voice,
9:28 pm
it needs to look for alliances to the east charlotte, even sky r t, verona. and that does it for me this hour, i will back of the top of the next hour at about 32 minutes with another full fresh looks renews. this is our international ah, it's been 30 years since the soviet union collapsed. mom, miss caldwell don't go to chill the water pump. it could you talk. so show me where you also trust someone call it ukraine. was one of the independent states that emerge from the ruins of the super bow. doing awesome good. would you also get on the ball greens? come on board. surely confusing. some of the i can last new lucian west, nor did better one more. look it up or else what is a is there is a surface, but it is a, you know,
9:29 pm
watch the past 3 decades. likely ukraine eyewitnesses recall the events. this would be more or less of judiciary with what i knew to know if that order. i'm not sure, but it be about 4 months with no idea what else and what other forces were at play . you have to do so let me show you engine mushy. in you. on the kid, what it would occur when is it just shows us the most of the versions or at least take a look at ukraine, 30 years out the gaining independence with unless unless you mean yet. but unity reported mostly will waive, but a will. it could be issue national stone for join me every thursday on the alex salmon show and i will be speaking to guess on
9:30 pm
the world of politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. ah, he's dying. i cried. i just had slept the whole time hours there. no one really thought anything different. he just thought i just didn't feel good on the way for the surgery, his lungs failed. 30 seconds. what killed him? i got stuck with so many needles by day. there's a few points.
