ah ah, are top stories this hour, the world's 10 richest people double their wealth, while millions die of cope. it. that domino report from the oct from charity say the pandemic has increased inequality across the globe that they make has really expose been a policies over the last 2 years. it's been really exponential silicone. it to be an avalanche that brushes top diplomatic, uses berlin of violating international conventions after our german language channel r t d e was taken off her following pressure by germany's media regulator and who is the victim? a u. s. judge say's a person who's sexually assaulted a young girl. as

a teenage boy, i'm since transition to a female should not be sent to jail for fear of being victimized critic to say that case is making a mockery of america's criminal justice. a very warm welcome to our t international. my name's you know, a, let's get to our top story. the wealth of the world's richest people house double during the pandemic, while the per have suffered increased death rate, some poverty due to a lack of treatment. and vaccines, those are the findings of a report by ox, from called inequality kills the charity claims policy. choices by governments are skewed in favor of the rich to well for the wells at 10, the richest man has doubled. since the pandemic began the incomes of 99 percent of humanity, a worse off because of coven 19. this is not by chance,

but choice. economic violence is perpetrated when structural policy choices are made for the richest and most powerful people. this causes direct harm to us, all the fan they make has really exposed inequalities and fuel them. so oxide has been tracking billionaire wealth for some time. and of course the forbes list shows that it has been growing over the last 40 years. but over the last 2 years, it's been really exponential, so we call it a billionaire bonanza. and at the other end of the spectrum, of course, for 99 percent of humanity, it's been a very, very difficult time. and most people are worse off as a result of the pandemic. of course, more than a 160000000 people have fallen into poverty during this time and is in a moment when you can see the difference is really showing very, very starkly, can't cause success. when there is such disparity, that at one end of the spectrum, you have people who have more wealth than they can spend in several lifetimes. and

at the other, we have people struggling to pay their next health bill or, or not knowing where their next meal is. coming from having such a level of disparity affects everyone, even the wealthiest because you know, and it's a sign of an unhealthy state of affairs, of an unhealthy society that needs addressing. now, according to oxford, the pandemic has pushed more than 160000000 people into poverty. while on estimated 17000000, they allege have died from corona virus and around 6000000 more of also lost their lives due to lack of health care in for countries. meanwhile, the top 10 people in forbes rich list including well known public figures such as ilan musk, jeff bees, often bill gates have 6 times more money than the purse 3000000000 combined. but while they double their wealth, the income of 1009 percent of the world's population worse and since the pandemic began, a new billionaire has been created roughly everyday. ox from believes

a key reason for such inequality is vaccine supply. one of those key drivers for inequality has been a vaccine access to vaccines. so the difference between rich and poor countries has grown the quality so and the poor countries in africa, in general, only 10 percent of the population has had his 1st course of vaccination america. and it's economic power and several other countries in the world can help reverse that from unlocking that and from the calculations that, that we have made. it would be possible, for example, to vaccinate the whole world to achieve and health care for all the universal health care and their ways and all come and others have campaign for lifting those intellectual property rights. that in fact, mean that pharmaceuticals have a monopoly over over the vaccines that are not readily available or produced as,

as, as, as they could all over the world get another story, getting a lot of attention today. a judge in the us said that a 26 year old who sexually assaulted a young girl as a teenage meal. and her since transition to a female should not be sent to geo for fear of being victimized the decision by the los angeles district attorney. that's attracted, a lot of criticism. us kill up open takes us through. so how does a criminal avoid prison time for assaulting a 10 year old girl in a women's bathroom? apparently, if the criminal was 17 and not a legal adult at the time they committed the crime and they then changed their gender. they can get off with a mere sentence of home confinement and not a prison term, as well as words of sympathy from the district attorney. the district attorney express concern that tubs itself would be victimized if placed in an adult facility as it transitioned to woman and noted

a probation reports actually recommended tubs be sentenced to home confinement. james tubbs allegedly assaulted a 10 year old girl and a women's bathroom in 2014. the police were able to track and 2019 was dna evidence when he was once again arrested on suspicion of battery. now the cases sparking outrage across the country tops will be offered therapeutic interventions under the auspices of restorative justice and possibly granted only probation or parole. where is the justice for her young victim? in her family, it's madness. it makes a mockery of a criminal justice system. the d i is trying to distance himself from the result and late blame on the judge when in fact, it's only happened because of his policy against transferring juvenile cases to other colt. this is not somebody who should appear in the juvenile system. this clearly shows you the dangerous aspect of the blanket policies of george gaskin. the l. a. county district attorney has vowed to stop prosecuting children as adults, many liberals as well as conservatives,

have taken issue with his policies. beverly hills city council members have led the charge for him to be recalled amid a string of robberies in this wealthy community. they blame him for eliminating bail and dropping charges. in many cases, i think we're opening a very, very dangerous can of worms when we allow on the gender or the sexual orientation of a person to basically allow them to escape. crop were punishment to st because they are, you know, they were a minor at the time of the crime that they shouldn't go to an adult facility. and these type of decisions are very dangerous, and they surely throw justice out the window in the last 8 of the american people. this is a modern day trying to see to, to be a 10 year old girl in the bathroom and attacked by a complete stranger will cause fear in her for probably years in her ability to feel safe and comfortable in just normal surroundings. and so for her to have to

carry that knowledge net memory. and then to also know that tubs is not going to be properly placed in jail in hell and, you know, for 2 years as recommend it, it's, it's really a travesty to know that this person gets to walk away with committing this crime and, and walk away escaping proper punishment, there's no question that us policies of mass incarceration have been out of control over the last several decades. the u. s. a has the highest prison population in the world. communities have been devastated. however, the rising crime in cities across the united states, amid a wave of new liberal policies from local prosecutors as people wandering about the dangers of the opposite extreme fail bobbin r t new york. there's been another update and the often. busy inflamed relationship between harry potter or 3rd, j. k. rowling, and members of the transgender community police in scotland covenants,

they will not, not take any action, no retweet by an activist that revealed rulings home address of the time of a post. the writer wrote this response to the trans computers they should have reflected on the fact that have now received so many death threats. i could paper the house with them and haven't stopped speaking out. yeah, the post she's responding to included trans activist standing by her house holding signs with slogans such as from liberation though deleted, it was immediately re posted with her home information available for all to see rolling say she's being targeted for speaking up for women's sex based right on people who are quick to point out the power and double standards in the police's decision not to charge the campaigners i wonder why no action being taken. i'd assume it's because for kyra the food chain or transport us and don't upset the apple cart, the fact her address or anyone's address be posted on line without knowledge or consent is wrong regardless of why it's

a violation of safety. dock thing is illegal and it doesn't matter if you delete the content a few hours later makes you wonder what the police are playing at cherry picking. what is lawful depending on who is complaining. she used to pander to those people, even changing the sexuality of characters, to please them. she played walkie mental gymnastics and slipped up, and then the mob turned on her. it is quite surprising. they're not taking any kind of action. although you see this is very much a gray area where legality is difficult to prove. and in this particular case, i believe the, the police were reviewed the circumstances clearly with the lawyers and decided that there wasn't any legality that we have now a situation in the u. k. and other countries where people don't believe the others have a right to have a view, and this is an opposing view to them. and i think that's quite disgusting. and

you know this? well, it could well end up in some form of verification or someone should cause harassment acts. and i believe that she has said that she had also had problems since then. so individuals committed harassment afterwards may well end up being guilty of crimes. a backlash against rolling began in 2020 after she questioned the headline about people who men straight by claiming the meaning of the word. woman being lost. some twitter users took out the mean. she was saying transgender men and women should have fewer rights. she dismissed the claim. political commentator under a worker says, you can't police are only willing to go after crime when it's any police force of any quality can do more or less investigation. i refer you back to the case of the scottish comedian, but taught his dog or his wife's dog how to do hitler salutes in order to prevent of a joke. they are perfectly willing to put it in the resources when it suits them,

but they're not willing to put in the resources whether it doesn't suit that police . scotland will be perfectly happy with j. k. rowling being intimidated, perfectly happy without being harassed and will take actually no action to defend time because they don't agree with politically. my comment is next. j. k rolling is going to say she can afford security. what about the rest of pressure to have these highly political police force? highly political police? li does put police on political control. what politician, fellow, who to prosecute when that is a danger not to j. k. rowling. because she's rich and powerful to ordinary people. like, you know, make rushes top diplomats target love. ralph has accused burly enough putting pressure in ortiz, new german language channel. after talks with the countries foreign ministry here in law school, there are correspondent donald quarter has been following developments. one of the main points of discussion at the press conference was of course, the fate of ortiz,

german language channel, r t d e, which has been facing a lot of censorship in germany, the russian foreign minister, circ a live. rob said that the german state was actually directly involved in this violation of free journalism. going as far to say that sanctions may even need to be taken if the matter is not resolved. as for his german counterpart, she said that the state actually was not involved. so let's take a listen to what they both said. not and cannot ask the state interference regarding r t d. well, that's just not true enough unless you know why. we have every reason to believe that the german government is directly involved in what is happening. let me remind you that banking services for our journalists were stopped at an early stage. the german media regulator blocked the satellite signal despite the serbian license. we believe that this is an interference in the work of independent journalists. and i wasn't all bare bach had to say about the rtp,

actually she want to went on at length to speak about how popular channel is about how it's the 4th largest on social media, based on what she said, you might even think she was one of our fans and cannot do. he has confirmed it the 4th largest on social media. that's of course there was also a lot of talk about the security guarantees that rushes proposed for itself and nato to prevent further escalation of the conflict in ukraine. russia is still waiting for concrete answers from nato and the west. although we have heard from washington, which is called the, the proposals that rushes put forward. nonstarter negotiating points for the german foreign ministers. part though, she said that the german government is ready for serious discussions about these proposals, while she also demanded security guarantees from russia. and she said that russian troops are somehow threatening the russian troops that are located on russian territory near ukraine. as for lab, though, he said that the russian state has the right to do what it wants with in its own territory, and in its vanham, this may, i will not in recent weeks,

more than 100000 russian troops and military equipment were amassed near the ukrainian buddha without any visible reason. yeah. it's hard to consider this as anything other than a threat to abuse. neither does a school. we explained that the provocation, coming from many western politicians, is making it necessary for our troops to conduct combat training measures. and we explained that we cannot accept certain demands regarding the actions of our armed forces on our own soil. we drew attention to the fact that while the u. s. and other nato members are demanding the removal of our forces. they are positioning troops, including troops who have arrived in europe from overseas. the double standard here is obvious, but it, it does seem though, that the 2 foreign ministers do see eye to eye on the north stream to gas pipeline . burbock said that europe needs russia to be a reliable supplier of gas to solve this energy crisis. that's right. now, plaguing the consonant wall lab rav said that he had a long talk with his german counterpart about the unfortunate politicization of the

north stream to pipeline. so, a lot of topics were discussed at this. a press conference between the foreign ministers of germany and russia are still ahead the scandal surrounding the british prime minister, a partying during the country's 1st. kobe locked on, no drugs in the opposition leader was also pictured drinking with colleagues at the time. we look at how the public's patience is wearing. ah ah ah

. herman died rumor shaped bankers are those with dares sinks. we dare to ask ah, hello again, a british man who took for people hostage of

a synagogue in the us state of texas at the weekend was previously flagged by u. k. authorities, malik flies electron had been seen as a potential islamist terrorist during a 2020 investigation by britons and my 5 intelligence agency. but the u. k. authorities determined that he posed no threat at that time, he was left on record of the person of interest, but was able to fly to the u. s. and somehow get a fire on there as well. it appears the u. k. authorities had not related any of their concerns about him to their american counterparts. before the attack. the alleged perpetrator was killed after 11 hours thumbed off. at the synagogue in cali vill the suburb of dallas all the hostages survived police and then to detain 2 teenagers as part of the ongoing investigation into the attack. earlier i spoke with a former m. i 5 intelligence officer who said the incident resulted from a failure on both sides of the atlantic. the failure to level one is that and i 5

did drop investigation to him. and it might well have been because he was seen to have mental health issues rather than terrorist to contention. but the other m astonishing thing from my perspective is the fact that he was out in the states as well, with a string of convictions and with his mental health issues in the background. and, you know, the u. k. u s. homeland security act is supposed to be the precisely to block people coming in to the us on these grounds. so it's not just my fault. i think although i do think we have a problem, one in the shivone misinformation that guessing shave, holding the people they have to investigate. but for the u. s. also to have allowed him in not have caught out the u. k. and said, this man's got convictions all over the place. we can't let him in and send him back. noticing that when you read into it, that he was able just to get a gun out of lethal weapon without being on any authority watch list at all. that just shows an absolute failure on every front face. the intelligence agencies in

the u. k. the border security usa, the policing security in the usa as well. and i think, you know, it's great now that we can pinpoint what happened, what went wrong in this case, but that's not how our intelligence agencies based in the usa. i'm the case working . they are there to preemptively gather intelligence, to preemptively stop the sort of terrorist attacks, not just have the information that can be used and be useful after an attack about the police are going to do. so why do we spend this money on all, incredibly invasive intelligence agency, if they are letting these old people sit between the cracked time after time after time, not just in the u. k, or the u. s. sake, but across europe as well as the last 7 years, are you confident lessons have been learned as to what happened over the weekend, or are we going to see further instance other crimes happening if there is what seems to be on the i said such a weak communication between the u. k and us authority, i am sure they will say the lessons. and what that will mean in reality is that

they will probably scoop up and share even more and increasingly invasive communication technologically. and they will say to protect all of us against terrorism. whereas in fact, if they did the job properly preemptively to target and stop potential terrorists rather than waiting all on privacy and take away all our civil liberties in our country. that would be much more effective and that would be the channel. i would suggest that they start looking into rather than just aggressively breaking whale, actually like small civil liberties on line, which is not helping them ignore, helping them to protect us. and it's not protecting our national security the you case party get, scandal shows no signs of slowing down for a change though. it's not the prime minister bars, johnson, but the british opposition leader is the center of attention footage has emerged showing the labor party leader cure stormer drinking beer with stuff during the

2021 spring locked on. although he insists he did nothing wrong, like the prime minister, he's refusing to apologize just days before the election. we've been very busy working in the office. we stopped for something to eat. and then we carried on working no party, no breach of the rules, and absolutely no comparison with the prime minister. it all comes in at a high profile scandal involving the u. k. pm, who is pictured partying during the country's 1st locked on. the story still making headlines were johnson's popularity plummeting to an all time low. when it all unfolded, mister stormer himself, ridicule, a prime minister for the way he justified. the shin dix says just says that he didn't realize he was, it's a party. ha ha! it is so ridiculous that is actually offensive to the british. yeah.

with the whole country was look town. he was posting boozy policies in town. express easy, now go to to the decent thing and resign the people we spoke to in london of questions. why much more important issues in their opinion affecting yuki life are being ignored and generally appear to be losing their patience with the whole party gates tiger. the whole bunch of people they do what they like, and then we are lost. no, you can't do this on the agency family. i've been with my friends in april, april. she died in april 20 i wasn't even able to see her live in the family. there's one room for the government, one room for the rest of us. what should happen is either johnson who's farms or the finds, a scrap and everybody who was side to get their money back. i think, but he was not appropriate at all to spectrum and then to as,

as well. and then we vote care of what basically society as a wall had to go was a smell. it's the stench of hypocrisy. obviously he wasn't doing what a lot subarus staff seemed to be enduring avenue, right. booze up in garden. but he was inside the house. he was drinking beer and his excuse that they were having a chinese and therefore is a work meal is frankly ludicrous. these politicians are all the same. they make the rules, and they want us to act in a certain way. but they don't want the rules to apply to them, but there are many things now we need to move on. things like assuring inflation that the job losses that are going to be around the corner. let's talk about the migrant problem as well at dover. let's talk about law and order they, they're the things that the brave public now want boorish to get on top of american athletes set to take part in the fast approaching paging winter olympics

have been warned to ditch their personal smartphones and instead use disposable mobile phones instead, the u. s. olympic committee has issued a stern warning by the legit chinese they turbulence every device communication transaction and online activity may be monitored. your devices may also be compromised with malicious software, which could negatively impact future use. well, while the ramifications of the advice it could make it hard for the athletes to stay in touch with family and friends amid restrictions on foreign spectators to, to cope with their and could prevent them from posting their accomplishments on social media and beijing. an important aspect of keeping in touch with their funds and building a profile. the u. s. is not the only country taking such measures. canada the u. k . and the netherlands have also worn their athletes about potential surveillance in china. giving the same recommendations about using disposable cell phones. we heard

from an asian, the 1st experts to believe the u. s. is hippa critically accusing others of what it's in fact is guilty of this. i think this to part of the campaigns to stigmatize china. and also, we're not forgetting ever. snowden to western countries cannot prove that they themselves are not spying on other people. in fact, they are quite infamous of doing so, right. i was still there has said about what do because find countries in the world do you there now even that you at eavesdropping of his allies is 40 quite common knowledge to. well christian of is allies had openly criticized the us on that. on the contrary, why they not be put in how much china has done to protect the athletes. this time in the olympics, you see robots delivering food for the athletes in the canteen to prevent a coven transmission. that's i think china's answers to public health coming back to the world's athletes. and finally,

will leave you with this. parents in america have been left stunned after a satanic club was launched for their children as an after school activity. however, the group at the name of the american satanic temple. catchy indeed claims that it's simply offers a scientific view of the world. satan clubs, the 1st greatest for this illinois school district is possible. the club is full of interesting lessons and fun and sponsored by the satanic temple of the united states. the satanic temple supports children to think for themselves. oh, after school, satan clubs of based upon a uniform syllabus that emphasizes a scientific brush analyst, non superstitions, well viewed, the club will help the children from 1st to 5th grade to learn benevolence and empathy. the lessons include games, puzzles, scientific projects,

an outdoor nature activities. well, the public seems unimpressed. the satanic tempest stated about it's after school club program that no proselytize ation or religious instruction takes place. nonsense. everyone has a belief system or religion. the satanic temper uses that clubs to brainwash kids in that antique old religion of evolutionary naturalists. more proof that all country is going to hell. i can't imagine any parent would read out the after school said and clamped sponsored by the satanic temple and think this sounds perfect for my 7 year old. despite the outrage, the illinois district defense, the site and club, as they had meant to be education, the enriching and allowed by the local board of education. actually, any organization can take rent in publicly funded schools to illegally deny their immunization viewpoint, to pay to rent, or a publicly funded institution. after school hours subjects, the district discrimination lawsuit which will not wean lightly taken thousands upon thousands of taxpayer dollars away from our teachers, staff, and classrooms,

waiting now for strippers. in casino clubs of the school, though it may not be the most glamorous topic out there, but it may well be one of the biggest issues of 2022. next max and stacy delve into what ever increasing inflation is going to mean for the money in your pocket as the year goes on and it all begins enrollment. ah, join me every thursday on the alex simon, sure. i'll be speaking to guess of the world politics sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. oh. when i was sure seemed wrong when i just don't know. i mean you will. yes to sheep out is the because the advocate

and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah hi, i'm match kaiser. this is a kaiser report. we've been talking about inflation now for several years. and that's all happening, stacy? right, max, it's fun and exciting times. we're still here down and el salvador. thankfully because of course we're escaping the parabolic nature, not only of inflation in the united states, but our numbers up in north carolina are shockingly who's in terms of the number of
