hold the g 20 summit wraps up in rome with broad endorsement of global corporate tax. the native chief meant, but not everyone sees it. that way we look at why photos of gillian assange including rock legend, roger waters demanded justice following us extradition appeal hearing, which is yet to deliver its verdict. i'm so angry and i'm soap. and i'm so disgusted with the united kingdom and an anti joe by the song called let's go. brandon was deleted from youtube for containing medical misinformation. however, it is quickly climbed to the top of mech, as i tunes hip hop chart. ah, a testing lab direct,

more 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. it and a possible agreement for a global corporate tax or europe corresponded peter oliver has been following developments in room for us whether its been progress or whether this has been a talking shop. depends on who you speak to. if you talk to those demonstrators who were 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 trevi fountain, earlier on sunday, throwing coins over their shoulder into that famous landmark,

hoping that that brings some looked 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 goes, 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 their support for strong global minimum tax. this is more than just a tax deal. it's diplomacy reshaping our global economy and delivering from people what 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 corporation 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 is an organization's looking to fight poverty. the aunt happy that this is the way forward. in fact, fox farm have called this a mockery of fairness. the world is experiencing the largest increase in poverty indicates and a massive explosion inequality. but this dale will do little 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 any race to the bottom, or the j. 20 seems to be ending with one su, that we thought was put to bed before it even got underway. raising its head again,

that's the, the dispute between australia, france, and the united states, really over the orchestra deal. now that was the defense pacts between australia, the united kingdom in united states. what it ultimately did that defense pack, though, was it cut france out of a $66000000000.00 us dollar deal to provide submarines to australia. we saw u. s. president joe biden meeting with frances, a manual micron on friday reconciliation. the pose word all over the hatchet well and truly varied. am handshakes. no, i'm sorry. no, i'm sorry. no, thank you. no, thank you, being offered from the 2 leaders really. and am it now turns out though, 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. we can now listen to what the u. s. president had to say and what is come out from the australian prime minister. i was under the impression that phrase had formed long before that he was young to arms. it was always

a difficult decision force trailer. it was the right decision force trailer and we work closely with the united states in the united kingdom and we kept them up to date the u. s. administration with well, we're at and our various 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, attended 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 taxes, 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 wealthier countries are gonna be much less affected by this. then the global bit of tactful effect go to 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 through to bringing a technology, skills, information transfer to organizations of the world. we've actually actually heard barrier to that. actually don't, they don't, they don't help that occur. and they, they're a barrier to the spread of information that raises productivity and raises standards of living and all that sort of thing. the fate of whistleblower julian assange 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 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, 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 phone. 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 have been trying to do is accuse a key medical, extra witness professor compliment of being disingenuous of misleading the court. i concealing the identity of a sondors partner, stella morris, and the 2 children. we finally 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

brought up in the context of why couple men, why professor compliments 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 the united states is giving. they say that drilling assumption service sentence in australia, but australia has not even indicated if they will take drilling farms. 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 the united states can use 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. enchanted journalism is not a crime. others expressed a growing concern over his health thing, floyd, co founder and long time. as our supporter, roger waters told our team, he believed 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 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 to plan it, 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 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 him, how he manages his grief. and he was absolutely, he was all moving to listen to. he says, well, 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 hot lunch in my chest. as i listened to this man saying, and i felt his melancholy, me like to, i'm a blow on my chest, we're not going on anywhere at all. and our voice is going to get louder and louder

and louder until june. free promise you that anti joe biden song called let's go brandon as quickly climbed to the top of america's i tunes hip hop chart, despite being pulled from some social networks, you tube 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 the conflict with medical guidelines. it charged the repre denies. there's a 1000000 signs best out right now. and if you're trying to act like a song, i can't say side of things. i'm a 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 in my, 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 an and b. c reporter was interviewing nascar racing driver, brendan brown, and said it sounded like the crowd behind him was chanting. let's go, brandon. apparently failing to realize what people were actually saying, oh ah, ah, the song comes as jo biden's approval rating has noticeably dipped according to a new survey. it currently sits below 45 percent down 11 points since his inauguration and january, meaning his popularity has declined faster than all his predecessors since the 2nd

world war. bryson grey again says the president is finding the job tough go. if i try to kill amena people now a lottery will say, let's go brand new for me. best perfect ah, leaking somebody, it doesn't curse black or 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 doing, and what a lot of companies are doing talent products segregate vaccinated, unvaccinated business, like jim crow, 2 point. oh. 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 train hit an object and the rails and the 2nd 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 does not often that someone disappears entirely from the f. b i's most wanted list, but that is what has happened to a man said to be a key figure in january capitol hill, riots in washington. he was caught on camera telling people to storm the building has gotten some, including republican party members, raising questions about who exactly the mystery figure is in the week. parties came up and reported on that for us and individual featured 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. apps in arizona, a man seen in vidal circulated videos, telling chum support is on multiple occasions to go into the capital. also seem to have acted on his own. i don't like to think about what we need. we need to know. we need to go to the campus with the not surprisingly he was on the f. b, i most wanted list and was referred to as suspect. 16 for some time, s b i w s. so is seeking the public's assistance in identifying those who made unlawful entry into the u. s. capital building on january the safe. 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 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 a saw,

i'm not going to violate this norm of 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. were charged, even as people with far less involvement have been re, abs is a free, mum. he has never been arrested or charged nearly 10 months after july. the 6th, the f, b 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 clean. 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 meadow. it is part of a drive to broaden the company's brand recognition, to include other holdings such as instagram and what's up. the internet's joined in to help the rebranding, although perhaps not in the way facebook may have intended a mountain of means rapidly erupt. ridiculing the new name with facebook met a bossa mark zak, a bergs face front and center in many a. dr. pick. zuckerberg 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. every time i hope we are seen as a meta verse 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. while the new name was unveiled alongside plans to build a so called met averse an online virtual world where people can play video games work and communicate the amount. now it's meant pushed up the newly mind meadows stock price, about $1.00 and a half percent. and pondering how this new cyberspace universe might be implemented here is not one, but to probably book us. within a matter of years, if facebook gets its way, a lot of us could be spending much of online looking something like this.

hiring 10000 people to create a match us for the no 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 r 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 mark stuck a bug, says that the match of us is just not kill progression from the to the internet to the 3. the ones that are 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 digitally teleport yourself from facebook. max of us to google's, or apple's one. i'm from you. boom, as quaking in your booth at the thought of this matter of us, the future is already here. back in 2020 rap are travis scott played a virtual concert within the full night wild, which attracted over $12000000.00 viewers, which was a record time luxury brand to have potent on to the fact that there's bags of money to be made in the mess of us who keith already unveiled a virtual collection on the roadblocks platform while valencia olga is creating a bunch of clothes or skins as they're known for fortnight. there's even companies flipping 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, breaking out,

but it's not happening in your backyard. it is happening in a fake world. so there are many met versus there isn't just one. but the, the oldest one that the oldest crypto waste one is called a 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's just come out and said that the company puts profits, the uses safety shopping lead mazda zak, a bug alone. yeah. a big bully. some of the biggest names in business across europe and asia gathered in the italian city, verona this week. climate change the gas crisis, and you relations were high on the agenda of the ration economic forum parties. 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 warning that it depends on strong political will. and the change in how we live our lives. the sheila got or 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. they were called, break to find a clue, says strategic alliance with russia to build on the strength of eurasia, 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 it's management of the current energy crisis that we are in a complete a mass. now when you room marquez her are, are feeling completely at the prizes arm. 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. so mythologies 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 nobody would be europeans would be val advice to enter into a reasonable dyrock with our supplier countries. instead of making a crazy 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. but there are many who say that the facts do not add up in the east blame game with moscow. like this is 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 of the panelists up, the world has changed and we need to be prepared for that change, which could significantly impact government's business. and you and i, it's now a multi polar world. and if the e was 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 does it for me this hour and don't worry, my colleague under farmer will be here in just about 34 minutes with another phone 1st. look at jonas, stay with us. this is our to international ah ah, in russia, this class of car was discontinued more than 20 years ago. even lost a more than a sort of can you sell it to proposal the sure deal with them for the purchase. it took 5 years to close the gap on the will car industry

from the drawing board to the 1st finished model escapes. so we'll over here to for total q deal with my food ocean from a small through some bullshit for shift of commercial venue. luca crockett, the customer with a, [000:00:00;00] with madison returns senior, watching,

going underground. coming over the show is called 26 summit hosted by you came by minister maurice johnson. the sham we asked the tories for me, you case, state minister for energy and climate change. why greenhouse gas levels hit record highs in 2020 despite to corona virus pandemic, and isn't a donation sanctions exacerbate the global corona, virus pandemic in central banks attempt to avert and other western economic crisis . is crypto currency, the key to breaking the site of corrosive capitalism? all this more coming up in today's going underground. but 1st you came here morris johnson, and some world leaders have been up in scotland for the cop 26 environmental summit . this is the un warned humanity is way off track to reach paris climate goals. after report by the world meteorological organization revealed greenhouse gas levels reached record highs in 2020, despite global karone of our lock downs. joining me now from london is britain's former minister of state for energy and climate change in the executive chairman of the end plus group. thank you so much or back of her. her coming on. i don't want to sound like doom and gloom, but this is a,

this seems way horrifying. the did. we had a 5.6 percent decline and emissions because of covered and so on. and yet there's a record year for seo to me then in nitrogen dioxide. or is it too late? this comp 26 summit? it's not too late by any means, but it does underline the huge scale of the challenge that we have before us and why it's absolutely vital that well leaders meeting at glasgow under the presidency of boris johnson. do you actually step up to the plate and come with pledges that are commensurate to the scale of this huge challenge. okay, but i understand that you are on something called the world banks, carbon pricing, leadership, coalition, carbon pricing of a free market. the way of trying to combat climate change, we know big companies already avoiding tax escaping taxes. how, what is carbon pricing and what role does it have to play in combat in climate change? so the carbon pricing leadership coalition is the world banks,

major initiative to help drive the global economy towards a low carbon model of business. and carbon pricing, simply put is a way of putting a true cost on pollution that tech companies, businesses, countries emit. so that when you're buying a product, you don't just pay for the cost, but you, the price actually reflects the cost to every $1.00 else of the carbon emissions, the pollution that it's creating. and economists broadly agreed that it's by far, the most effective way of addressing the balance to make sure that the her it always pays to do the right thing. we're that disproportionately affect the poor given their on to rival products on the shelves that, well, that's a very good, that's a very good point. and you know, the thing about carbon pricing is it's not new. but one of the reasons that it
