ah, the g 20 summit wraps up in rome with broad endorsement of a global corporate tax. the main achievement, but not everyone sees it. that way. we look at why support of joint assange, including rock legend, roger waters demand justice following a u. s. extradition appeal hearing, which is yet to deliver its verdict. i'm so angry and i'm so bad and i'm so disgusted with the united kingdom and an anti joe biden song called let's go. brandon was deleted from youtube for a containing medical misinformation. however, it has quickly climbed to the top of america's itunes hip hop chart. with oh,

parking lot of direct from our studios in moscow. this is art international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. right now. the 2nd and final day of the g. 20 summit in italy has wrapped up. it has been the groups 1st in person gathering since the start of the pandemic among the hot button issues. the leaders have been thrashing out europe's energy crisis, cove id and a possible agreement for a global corporate tax or europe corresponded. peter oliver has been following developments in rome. whether its being progress or whether this has been a talking shop depends on who you speak to. if you talk to those demonstrators who are on the streets of the italian capital on saturday afternoon into the the evening, they would say that more definitive action needs to be taken on climate change, as opposed to the talking that's been done about tackling that particular problem. you speak to the leaders themselves, so i think they're pretty happy with what has been achieved at this g. 20. they're all gathered for a, a big photo op at the trevor fountain earlier on sunday,

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 on 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

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. he's an organization's looking to fight poverty on happy that this is the way forward. in fact, fox has called this a mockery of fairness the world is experiencing the largest increase in poverty indicates and domestic explosion, inequality. but this deal 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,

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 formed long before that he was not going to know you had not. 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 lead is summit 2021 next year. the event moves to indonesia with the leaders meeting in bali. peter, all of a r t row attempts by the u. s. in 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 u. s. 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 food benefits new doesn't. generally speaking, countries and wealthier companies rather based and wealthy countries are, can re much less affected by this than the global bit of tactful effect doesn't

work. i personally wouldn't try to create a, a global block of minimum patches. 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 actually their barrier to that actually 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 sort of thing. the fate of whistleblower jolena sans remained in limbo this week after a 2 day extradition appeal hearing at london's high court. the u. s. is challenging britain's 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 to 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 case is reached. ah,

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. busy 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 i've 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. 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 a was discussing plans to potentially kidnap or poison julian as orange in london. and so this was brought up in the context of why couple men,

why professor 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 you in the forms. this is a process that takes many years. the truth is that during the songs will most definitely be played and it leaves 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 they most certainly will during both days of the hearing assumption supporters rallied outside the court. they want his immediate release and chanted, journalism is not a crime. others express growing concern over his health. think floyd, co founder and long time of some support, roger waters told r t that he believes the whole case is a huge miscarriage of justice. this is an absolute 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, this is one of the most valuable human being still 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 in prison because he's interfering with the accounting plan to steal the planet, sort of rape it to death than 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 whom they did not agree. and you will find that there's no justice to be found in the united states. i'm shall 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 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 lunch 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

get louder and louder and louder to julian, some to say free. i can promise you that an anti joe biden san 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 rapid bryce and great climbing it contained medical misinformation. the song takes aim at president biden's bungle the afghan withdrawal and his handling of the corona virus pandemic. youtube said, the platform doesn't allow claims about cov, it, 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 band it. that means you're bending my, are you bending my you was going on? you can band, are 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 the most sense a wrapper in the world. how is that possible? i say what i believe in my song. everything i say,

unless i've been in real life and this is what i believe it should be illegal for social media company to be able to change the 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 mess on the bus. the title of the head comes from a growing internet catch phrase. it went viral after and then b. c reporter was interviewing nascar racing driver. brandon brown and said it sounded like the crowd was chanting, let's go, brandon. apparently failing to realize what people were actually saying. yeah, ah, i know the song comes as joe binds approval rating has noticeably dipped according to a new survey. it currently sits below 45 percent down 11 points since his inauguration in january. i mean the 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 until a mean of people now a lottery will say let's go brand it for me that's perfect. ah, leaking somebody, it doesn't curse backer. so my the same for president biting people, call trumpet dictatorship. there's nothing more similar to what data set than what jo buyers currently billing and what a lot of companies are doing. it's helen products segregate. that's an ada unvaccinated business, like jim crowds, oqueeno. meanwhile, the world medical watchdog continues to sound the alarm about the ongoing coven 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 cove tools and effective medical tools.

around 17 people were taken to the hospital after 2 trains collided in a tunnel in the city of salisbury and southwest england, firefighters and emergency services evacuated. passengers after a train hit an object and derailed, and the 2nd collided with it, one of the drivers was taken to hospital after becoming trapped in his cab. services from southwest england into london were suspended. but as transport police have declared the crash. a major incident does not often that someone disappears entirely from the fbi i's most wanted list, but that is exactly what has happened to a man said to be a key figure in january. capitol hill writes in washington, he was caught on camera telling people to storm the building. it has gotten something including republican party members, raising questions about who exactly the mystery figure is in the week, or to kill them up and reported on that force. an individual featured in videos calling for people to 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 and arizona man scene invite la 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 know, like a rebel, as i said, we need, we need to know. i'll say, we need to go in the camera. let's go. ah, unsurprisingly 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 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 incidence or particular videos? how many agents are assets of the federal government were present on january 6, whether they agitated to go into the capital and if any of them did a so i'm not going to violate this norman of follow the rule of law. i'm not going

to comment on 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 apps 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 eps 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 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 has joined in to help the rebranding of though perhaps not in the way facebook may have intended a mountain of means rapidly erupting, ridiculing the new name with facebook. meta boss mark as aucker, briggs face in front and center, and many a doctored pick. zocker 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 averse company, and i want to anchor our work and our identity on what we're building towards. facebook changed 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, they're still selling our data. the new name was unveiled alongside plans to build a so called meta verse, an online virtual real world where people can play video games, work and communicate. the announcement pushed up the newly minted metals, stock price by $1.00 and a half percent. and pondering how this new cyberspace universe might be implemented here is not just one, but 2 poly boy goes within a matter of years. if facebook gets it, weigh a lot of us can be spending much of all. i'm looking something like this

is hiring $10000.00 people to create a match of us for the low nods out there. i'll let virtual poly explain to make of us is basically the make tricks. you create digital avatars of yourself like me, and then you put on your v headset and away you go. you can walk around a virtual world and interact with people in real time. they're 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 sucker bug says that the match of us is just saying that kill progression from the to the internet to the 3 the one to talk about not buying, to monopolize the matter of 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, for example, you'd digital e teleport yourself from facebook, smack of us to google's, or apple's one. i'm sure you boom, as quaking in your booth at the thought of this matter of us, the future is already here. back in 2020 rock and travis scott played a virtual concert within the full night wild, which attracted over $12000000.00 viewers, which was a record at the time. not carrie bronze coffee and on to the fact that there's bags of money to be made in the mess of us. he's. he's already unveiled a virtual collection on the roadblock platform. while he, oh god, created a bunch of clothes or skins as known for full nights. there's even companies flipping virtual real estate in the matter of us. if you're struggling to understand how this works, you're not alone. there is a building boom, breaking out,

but it's not happening in your backyard. it is happening in a fake world. so there are many, many verses or isn't just one. but the, the oldest one, the, the oldest crypto vs one is called the central and whether you're ready for life in the cloud or not facebook's announcement that it's hiring an army of developers to build this massive 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's just come out and said that the company puts profits over use is safety shopping, lead mazda, dr. bug alone. the 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 ear relations were high on the agenda of the region. economic form or cheese. charlotte davinsky was there for us. this is where the big

questions were debated over 2 days at eurasian economic forum in verona as cop 26 now starting glasgow. the environment was definitely on many minds with the warning that it depends on strong political will. and the change in how we live our lives. 3 sheila cattle 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 all so 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 hitting words to about the you particularly over its management of the current energy crisis that we are in a complete mass now in your room. marquez her are, are feeling completely at 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. and europe probably will be european. would be very advice to enter into a reason ever dialogue with our supplier countries. instead of making acquisition.

many you politicians may find it tempting to lift the burden of responsibility from 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,

it needs to look for alliances to the east. charlotte, even sky r t, verona. i that as a for me, one more look at the weekly will come up in about 34 minutes, stay with us or international. oh well, what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy, even foundation, let it be an arms race move is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successfully, very difficult time. time to sit down and talk

ah with me. hello, welcome to wells apart. there were never on friendly terms, but there were times when russian need and managed to accommodate each other security concerns and even do something together. most notably during the early stages of the us presence in afghanistan. and while they heard the american patrol from cobble seems to necessitate more coordination between this, an easy do, thou, formal talking lines will be separate. come november. what does these silent treatment mean for the region and for the world full to discuss that i'm now joined

by an a to leave in senior fellow at the quincy institute for responsible state profit in washington to see dr. lehman. it's great to talk to thank you very much for finding the time i look. now. i'm sure that the closing of the nato lays an office in moscow and russia's mission to brussels. didn't come as big of a surprise to you. there weren't functioning any way, but i think there's something noteworthy about the 2 sides, not even trying to keep up appearances anymore. what do you think? yes, i mean, it's another step downwards. and it also illustrates the absence of coordinated thinking in washington because clearly this nature decision would not have been taken without the agreement of washington. the biden administration at the moment seems to be anxious to reduce tension with russia, hence the visit of newland to moscow. and the fairly cool reception of zelacofsky in washington. but on the other hand, they now go along with this,

the complete end of relations with nita, which of course, on the russian side was response to the expulsion by nature of alleged russian agents. but you also get the general last in eunice saying that some ukraine in georgia are going to be members of nature one day, which by the way, very few people in private touch. well, leave any. you mentioned a lot of things that need unpacking. so let's take them one by one. i want to start with this silent treatment metaphor because i'm technology both and in couples counseling. this kind of silence rather than loud fights are considered a major sign of breaking up. i wonder when it comes to the relationship, very uneasy relationship between russia and need to do you think we have seen the worst already, or the real break up is, is yet to come. well,

i hope we've seen the worst, but, you know, the, the most dangerous aspect of this breaches that you know, you have nato ships and planes wandering around in the baltic in the black sea. there is always the risk of an accidental collision, not one that i the desired but you know, when you have war planes operating at high speeds around each other as happened. you know, with the, with this american plane over china 20 years ago, there is the, there is always a possibility of an accident which will then lead to a drastic deterioration of relation. and that's why i think it's so confusing to have service like myself because of the as you mentioned, direct communication between moscow and washington not only existed that i think it has actually intensified and the divide in administration. some people would suggest that the moscow.
