4:31 pm
and for employment as well. so his uh, his economic policies, most likely from what i've seen from his interviews that he's given, will stand as is, but the government will be more proactive if his administration continues in supporting businesses in supporting employment. we will continue to bring you all special coverage of the tech issue. presidential run off election between incumbents, lead to red chip type of ado on, on his main opponents come out. can we start all of this sunday on nazi's or do stay tuned for all the latest developments? the strongly believe that we will continue to serve our nation for the next 5 years. we will absolutely, absolutely. when these elections in the 2nd round, every one will see the one over to africa. now, where over a 100 people have been killed in central nigeria and will local officials say art

sized by a non governmental funding villages. the balance is such a started 2 weeks ago, resulting and a must. displacements of locals affected people and especially women and children are both traumatized and have immediate humanitarian needs, such as food, water and dignity and sanitation kits. we condemn these barbaric acts in the strongest terms possible. it is disheartening to see innocent citizens being killed and their property is destroyed in such a gruesome manner. the region is located between now jerry is mostly muslim. a nomadic head of community in the north and farm is in the mainly christine south. he is a struggle to store. we definitely can really just tensions with the vitamins escalate thing in the last few weeks after a brief comm period during the countries of february and march elections for local residents. so i'd say that the government needs to do more to stop. so tragic events is, is, is, if you go from a, what do they need to maybe to provide enough's enough security
4:33 pm
that will be provided in this area, particularly there, the more areas. i think that's maybe cons cortez. so it's a situation. but if not, the time likely to happen, because in the we, these people are coming in today to do community, to grazing their weighted here. if it shows that something positive happens, if there's the kaufman doing, doesn't do something about it. on thursday, around 250 villages led by church leaders march through the city of just denouncing the killings and the violence. local residents told us that the government needs to take more action for the supplement. supplement number
4:34 pm
one the government most. this is a need to approach just these. it just this is it must be seen lucky because the because you have the beginnings cool. these power to do so talk to you to contribute that that's what was just this is dispense is that the tax will stop and government has the will power to treat. but that route, how are you still at a site moving on now that you use as a codes correct? called the board atari assessing response to india threat to complain. so the world trade organization, the new delhi, saying that the union's green initiative is affecting around $8000000000.00 worth of inputs from india to europe or to contribute to beecham often has more. it looks
4:35 pm
like brussels is taking a page from washington's notebook when it comes to using climate change to tell the playing field in its own favor and against its so called friends, while presidential bible's inflation reduction. ok, lots of green european car manufacturers from the u. s. market to the benefit of their american competitors. the european union is now looking to gain the same time as economic advantage by slapping carbon taxes on steel and iron, or imported from india. and just as biden said to be you that hey, don't work things out between friends, even though they still haven't. b, u has turned around and use the same sort of line on india. but wally, you tries to shake some more. cas free from india as pockets under the pretext of saving the earth. it just can't give itself a break either when it comes to its own climate change agenda. the largest group in the european parliament, the center, right,
4:36 pm
european people's party is now threatening to pull its support for the permissions green deal because they're worried about all the farming and food security risk is being undermined within each countries all because the big brain, russel's bureaucrats, have become obsessed with the nitrogen intel done, and they want the number of cattle drastically reduced the commissions greenville proposals or cutting production and making investments and secure unsustainable costs of blood production products without realistic alternatives means a significant cut of the nature is duration on the other hand means the cut of the land area used for forming together. they will make a big hole and they'll write a very soon farmer's budgets and will endanger availability if you were being food and will increase inflation. that's government is obsessed with a here a to the use plan of quote reducing that greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55
4:37 pm
percent by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. us. which sounds scam level specific, by the way, it's kind of like i make $5000.00. we working 22 minutes a day from home asked me how so the ducks governor is now harassing its own foreigners and it said, pointing of buying out the farmers. he won't reduce their live stock in line with the government directive. and now the french bureaucracy just a few days ago as also asked the government to make the exact same demand, the french farmers. at the same time, the french president emanuel mack holz government, has introduced this climate plan to pause the same language with the same figures from the use green deal. that certainly not a coincidence, but well going full speed down the wrong side of the highway on his emission free bicycle. mack who is also trying to slam on the brakes at the very same time. we
4:38 pm
want to ship a c because we've already passed a lot of regulations as a member of the e. u, even more than our neighbors. we're ahead of the americans, chinese, or any other world power. we have said goals 420152032 lower carbon emissions and so on. and i'm calling for even pause and regulations in europe. yeah, maybe a st obsession isn't the best idea when the use economic engine germany has just fallen into recession because it kind of itself off from cheap russian energy. so it's losing economically obviously. but at least it's scoring big on the green front, right. well, only of coal can somehow be considered green, since germany is heavily reliant on coal now. and it still can't re itself to fire up its own nuclear plants. so that's probably a tough future and to make, after jury spent months, probably eating france for bathing b, e. u to classify as green,
4:39 pm
the nuclear power on which the french economy and industry heavily rely. but despite all the problems that this member states are having and sticking to their green dyads, brussels really doesn't seem too interested in giving them a break. your other not only leaves the global transition to climate utility by 2050. but the year old hasn't become the currency of choice for sustainable finance. the e u and the republic of korea shed the ambition of a climate mutual future. the launch of our green partnership will help us towards that goal. we will now work on the convergence and key areas and deep and cooperation on strategic clean energy projects because it is good for our supply chain, skid fall, competitiveness, i'm good for the planet. the gross model, center on fossil fuels is simply to meet. we need to be compromised our economies
4:40 pm
as quickly as possible. and this is exactly why we put forward our 0 p green deal. so as usual, it's pastoring over pragmatism here in europe. pay for of course, by the endlessly put a fine european citizen for more than 3000 protesters are currently blocking the roads in the hague. and another lens, as part of the climate action groups demonstration against a fossil fuel subsidies and the devastation started around 7 days. ago in provincial cities, without service much in any 20 full, columbus has a day the netherlands along with other you countries about to end environment. so harmful subsidies by 2020, for governments relief for the fossil fuel industry is still being provided. today is located. busy the haves main sofa is the 7 such incidents that get moving on. now one person has died and 2 children have been injured as ukrainian
4:41 pm
artillery, as shelter the russian of border region of be able go to the cities. local governance said on saturday, sunday, excuse me, was the heaviest day of ukrainian shilling with 5 separate strikes. give strips of time to principal 5 trees in the region, closing fires, electrical lines, but also damage and left many without power. hunger is 5 minutes as cold as the liberal left for criticizing both his country. and so this policy pushing for peace in ukraine as well as that one willingness to contribute to the escalation. hey, it's pretty close to our country's face problems and both are on the relentless attacks by international liberal mainstream. but why are they attacking us? because him governance and serves us standing up for the national interest. because we have strong leaders, they are attacking us because we want peace and ukraine and it will contribute to escalation. they are attacking us because we are committed to family values and
4:42 pm
they are. and so i can ask because we refused to be dictated to from abroad. lydia, we spoke to dr. step on diet, a professor at the bell, great institutes of european studies instead of both hungry and said, you don't want to find some of the nations will against that will. and i think this is a very good message from me. so seattle in this new geopolitical moment, we see that hungary has a really close relations with, with the service. i'd say not believe it, serbia, because it has pulse relations with serbia and busy people. republicans steps to the distributed part of bosnia and herzegovina. and i think that we can see this as a coalition. i think that both the serves and gary ends do not wants to be sworn in the, in the wards that it's happening in eastern europe and the, they don't want to fight for somebody else's goals against their will. and
4:43 pm
essentially, that is the out of the cetera. and this is a great message, as we've got from, would've been even times and gone is, is fed up with some of the weapons. so what can we say about other countries, of course, that ukraine cannot win this war to generally lose more license is already been tragic as to what the un nato, as is been doing. they were only contributing to the tragedy for they want to spend a year since a wave of unprecedented sanctions were imposed on russia in response to the war and ukraine. the nations comedy function industry has been quick to adopt, specifically the most which ca, assembly funds a legend rates. soviets top producer, we are here at the renewal on most of which century in moscow, the factory opened 1st in 1929 and has seen reducing cards from 1946 all the way to 2001. and then one or another 1st automobile company came to russia and has been producing carson said, no,
4:44 pm
i make the western sanctions against russia defense, automobile know, has left the country selling all this stuff to the central government of moscow, which took it and decided to start again, with the most of its factory desires of pioneer automotive advances, enhanced production technologies and fords. revolutionary vehicles for an error remains and an waiver in principal for the brand. presently the moscow based markovich automobile class finds itself amid a fresh phase of progress. has been a year old reticence reopened. as most screech minutes, things had to be done and we did a lot of work in a short space of time to launch the car, assembly facilities where it does indicate a team then night and sometimes in weekends to make the plan come alive. again. it was difficult at times, but who did it to make the facility function? now we're seeing a result worth of the work we have done. so right here, behind me with our own most at the final product, the finally seeing how the most of it looks like right here behind me. the checking
4:45 pm
both the wallet see of the products, but at the same time there are assembling the car altogether. no, before you go on your little road trip in your you must reach the car itself is going on the test right now as we speak. the test include a 100 points that a check by an operator points include checking for rain, checking inside the car, taking the outside the car, the n c. all the important stuff of the car before it goes to another check in point. before you finally goes on the market, personally, i liked the car, it's a family crossover which is convenient. also, crossover is a good choice for us and because we have snow almost everywhere in winter. the car is spacious and very comfortable. i've tried both the internal combustion engine version and the electric one. electric car is something different. it is more dynamic and it is very pleasant to drive and new chapters and folding for musket beach, characterized by the event of an entirely new range of cars,
4:46 pm
which are not only modern, but user friendly as well as a safe russian made electric vehicle built upon a proprietary platform and domestic component base. the 1st models that have graced the revamped production line are the most of its 3 city crossover. and the most rich 3 e electric car. if we look at the electric vehicles market as a whole, we can see the car and is around the country of choosing electric one's much more. often the number of electrical owners around the country is growing exponentially. speaking of demand, even though it is rise and there's still some distrust among car owners when it comes to electric cause. this is due to electric call is being a novelty for many people. people also cite the lack of charging infrastructure because this is the main concern about owning an electric cost. the russian government supports the development of charging facilities, and now we have more than $400.00 around most go and there are completely free. and
4:47 pm
here it is in all its glory, the most vis. 3 the electric car, just a few months after the mayor of moscow and those plans of loveliness, songs of the most, which brand know the car comes in 5 different colors. and right now we're in the light blue one. the inside of the car is made the equal. are there right here we have the transmission of the car. and right in front of us here is the interference of the car, which looks like an automatic cars when making it easy to use the come on getting with us, we're going shopping. and the new must be the of the mexico officials are gearing up for an evacuation of civilians amid an ongoing volcano, a rope, sion but wash from the purple cots, a petal volcano, which you cannot use a live pitch is now on your screens. isn't the central part of mexico and it's
4:48 pm
delayed multiple flights in the countries? capital is the 1st time it's a rope to since 1994 and the previous time before that was more than a 1000 years ago. well thought of these haven't yet announced and evacuation was of already deployed to soldiers in the region and close off the boat that leads to the volcano. that's all for this out to be sure. it's check out some of the dot com for all of the latest breaking news and updates on the right by the i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except we're so shorter is a conflict with the 1st law show alignment of the patient. we should be very
4:49 pm
careful about visual intelligence at the point, obviously is to makes a truck rather than fit the various job. i mean with the artificial intelligence, we have somebody with the, the a robot must protect this phone. existence was alexis i'm rick sanchez. and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. do not watch my new show. seriously. why watch something that's so different. several opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please, or do you have the state department to see i a weapons bankers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. i changed and whatever you do. don't want marshall state main street because i'm probably
4:50 pm
going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called stretching time, but again, you probably don't wanna watch it because it might just change the wayne state. 2 2 it takes a special person to be a whistle blower. it's common knowledge, most whistle blowers even when they know they're doing the right thing by blowing the whistle on waste fraud, abuse or illegality. have their lives up ended their ruined personally financially and professionally. and they sometimes even go to prison today will tell you about one of the most important and impactful financial whistle blowers in the world. when you probably have never heard of. i'm john kerry ok. welcome to the whistle blower. the in one bill tour was an auditor at the luxembourg office of the public accounting giant price waterhouse coopers from 2008 to 2010. he saw his job as one of being on
4:51 pm
the side of the regulators, of keeping the honest people honest. instead, he found a massive system of fiscal optimization, allowing large multinational corporations to avoid paying taxes in countries where they were conducting business. that's called income tax evasion. it might also be called conspiracy in 2011 and $1.00 resign from p w c. but before leaving, he downloaded documents detailing tax deals that the firm had brokered with the luxembourg government, allowing companies to funnel billions of dollars through luxembourg, thereby slashing corporate tax bills by billions of dollars in the countries in which they were based on which they did business and twan shared the documents with the french journalist who used them as the basis for a television documentary. and soon after p w. c filed a complaint with the luxembourg court, when the international consortium of investigative journalists began reporting on
4:52 pm
the more extensive luxembourg leaks, or lux leaks case. criminal charges were filed against antwan's, facing 5 years in prison, later 10 years in prison. and one was convicted in december 2014. he was sentenced to a 12 month suspended prison term and a fine to 1500 year owes. he appealed, but his conviction was upheld. undaunted, he appealed again. and in january 2018, the court of cessation recognized him as a whistle blower and dismissed all of the charges. even before he won his appeal, the european parliament recognized and one is a whistle blower and a word in him. the european citizens prize in 2015 and the one we are honored to have you on the show. thank you so much for joining us. you're welcome. you know, let's start at the beginning. you were a young auditor at price waterhouse coopers. one of the largest and most important big for professional services firms in the world. take us back to that time. what
4:53 pm
did you see that made you think something was wrong? and when did you see it? yes, it was my 1st professional experience. it was in 2008 from 2008 to 2010. and i was just a junior user. so my work was uh, just to make uh, financial audits. uh, which consists in uh, verifying the accuracy of the accounts of my hands. so those are the kinds of the, the but you see in look some berg were mainly belonging to the financial sector. and what i discovered there was, that's most, hey, let's say, oh, my hands were in luxembourg. i me for tax purposes. so obviously i, i wasn't totally naive when i applied to a job in newcomer, again,
4:54 pm
he was at the and that's uh at some stage where bots of looks and brokerage activity. but what i found out as a junior auditor, that's is that most of my exams has no real economic activity, no employees, no turnover, and, and had specific agreements close as on sticks agreements also goes next. readings in each looks and broke. that's, that's, i mean, 3 administration approved some very, very, as the damages other than just a tax practice is just to give an example. for one of the firm i was a teaching, i found out that if it's eve, a tax rates was around 3 percent. instead of the normal x
4:55 pm
rays around 20 or 50 persons. so it was that was very, very low. and that is, that's was allowed by things the tax administration which approved of these the tax treatments. can you tell us what exactly p w c was doing to help companies avoid taxes? and what was the luxembourg government's role in all this extra these people use bought as a notice or was i need to verify the accounts. but the so is this is a druggist or its uh, departments, but there is a so uh, an advisory and tex departments that provide the professional services including tax advice. um, so just to make it simple, uh, you have to imagine that's what was told at least national companies operating in
4:56 pm
europe have a, an entity in luxembourg. uh that is used to lower uh, their textbook. and so the way you see has the knowledge of us, it's moved to national towns and uh, and is really well informed to, to, to provide the tax advice and whoa to lower as, as the tax do. and, and, and what's the advice was to, to set up a look some burg, uh, ncc, a that's had new p o economic activity. but uh that's i was asking a tax agreement to the tax. but for me to use this tax every month is a, as soon as he go um and is used to just approved
4:57 pm
in advance, which would be the tax treatments of uh, some sometimes complex. uh, operations is a um, a, a crust. bolger considerations is going to be very complex. this way. sometimes you need is uh, the approval of, of us and 3 of the authorities to liver. and, uh, you got a risk you, you, you take. but that's what was really shocking in luxembourg. is this, is it, that is the system of evidence that's the agreement was used to, to, to, to approve varying ag receive text practices and was some interpretation of for international ethics rules. so that's it could be attacked in other countries because it was a really, a, it was going to far and, and then i just, and i,
4:58 pm
i found those use in 2000 and then a, as in a context that's maybe quite similar is the current context it was a context of post a financial increase. this was a very strong database about the public budgets, especially in greece. greece has a very strong pressure to, uh, to cuts us endings uh, ends with the increasing inequalities with many people struggling to, to have access with traditions from who have a and, and, and in my opinion. so it was a direction between the difficulties of governments to collect enough resources to face because he is and,
4:59 pm
and what i was a serving in looks and broke was big motivation. most was huge. profits was most no tax paid. i spent 4 years at the lloyd uh then it was the lloyd and to should that was one of price waterhouse coopers, major competitors. so i know what kind of training you went through. it was the same as my training. we were taught that if you see something illegal, we're unethical, you must reported immediately. you go through the chain of command or through the ethics officer. and if your chain of command is involved in the illegal or on ethical behavior, you go to the government. what was the process that you went through to report the wrong doing? and when did you decide to go to the media? actually, i say there are many steps. and so the 1st one was my food understanding of a single case. because i, i, i of things that more and more often,
5:00 pm
i mean my, my work and the once i did myself as a junior, are due to her because i already did my search for small entity. and i had the full, uh and there's a google picture of what was going on between the of the entities as a group. and i found out that was a prophy if that's for shifted to lift some bird or not text. anyway. so then i had like shoes that's, that's some thing was going wrong. and then i kind of lost my motivation in my work because i didn't phones the social utility. i was looking for an inmate in my work. so i decided to resign. but since it's a day before my last day i.
