on farming communities, the violence which started 2 weeks ago has resulted in most displacements of low cost 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 in their properties destroyed in such a gruesome manner. the region is located between nigeria, as mostly muslim, the logic had the community in the north and mainly christie and farmers in the south for you is it struggled with ms ethnic and religious tensions with the violence escalate. and the last few weeks of to a brief response during the countries february and march elections while local residents hold on say that the government isn't doing enough to stop such tragic events. the reason is, is, if you go from a, what do they need to? maybe to provide enough enough to, to teach that will be providing these areas particularly there remote areas.
8:31 pm
i think that's maybe the concept on cortez. so it's a city of homes. but if not, it's time likely happens because it's in the we, these people are coming into the, to the community, to grazing their would it be if it shows that something cost to happen? if there's the, the cost me doing those and do something about it on thursday, around $250.00 villages led by church need as much through the city of jewels denouncing the killings and spiraling violence. the residents told us the government needs to take action. now the supplement supplement that is sufficient for right. is it no
8:32 pm
more is nipple one look forward to the government most. this is a need to approach just these. it just is it must be seen lucky because the, the past, the beginnings cool, these power to do so talk to you to continued 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's how you start to exercise. the u. s. congress has to raise the countries that stealing all the nation risks, defaulting on its loans. as a warning for the us treasury secretary, who out of the washington only has 10 days left to deal with the crisis or run out of money. we know estimate the treasury will have in sufficient resources to
8:33 pm
satisfy the government's obligations if congress has not raised or suspended the debt limits by june. 5th, during the week of june, 5th, treasury is scheduled to make an estimated $92000000000.00 of payments and transfers. therefore, our projected resources would be inadequate to satisfy all of these obligations in the west at the ceiling, which is the total amount of money that the country can borrow to fund itself is now of a 31 trillion dollars. however, that figure needs to be raised in order for washington to not to default on loans for the 1st time in his history. a solution now lies in the hands of congress, which controls the count on us far away. even republicans and democrats scrambling to find the middle ground, american media, but so on. so sounding the alarm states and it'd be just that default thing would have major consequences. and not only americans for the whole wells. what are some of the big ways americans could be directly impacted by this? yeah, well there's
8:34 pm
a lot of concerns over the major programs that millions of americans rely on when you talk about the social security thing about medicare and medicaid. you also think about the food stamp program, but then secondly, we don't know how the government is going to go about that process. because as i wanna remind you, it's never happened before. the united states has never defaulted. it for us actually default, even for a short period of time. where are we gonna see the biggest real world impact me economy? so ultimately it's going to be the us that suffers the most. but when it comes to the global impacts, there's a, there's a, there's a saying that when the us news is the rest of the world catches the cold. so in other words, when we go into a recession, we take everyone else down with us us treasury balance is now under $50000000000.00, a default to throw the country international markets into chaos. we think of the us treasury market, us an answer for the a global financial system. and this anchor needs to halt or the my colleagues page
8:35 pm
of score discuss the latest us clients. this with us, they contribute to chris evans, who saves military age to ukraine. is now in the spot life is republicans and democrats trying to reach a new debt ceiling bill to go the largest economy in the world. not able to service any of it stats and you know, it's not just department for the us as a order. the other countries that depends on the us, the kind of competed by them, all of those countries will end up down, you know, down the drain, if the us comp paid to pay to help, and also to do whatever they do with them in addition to their own economy, do you think that democrats and republicans will be able to find a compromise and quite literally, can they afford not to ident, and they can afford not to, i think the, the, the consequences a to dia. but i think the 1st, the areas contention is ukraine. right? the biggest problem i think that we're staying with, with most of the, most of the, the republicans in the house. is that saying, look, this is a okay, you know, we can, we can give you more money,
8:36 pm
but we don't want you to want to give you all this money so that you just send it over. i've, it's new crime. what are you doing with arriving people with our own economy? so i think that's going to be, we're going to have to see how that deals done because it seems a binary binding. it's just hell bent on getting. so let's get as much money as possible is called into the key leads to for world economies have made the 19th us has given $75000000000.00 in military aid to ukraine. is that a lot of, uh, an economy the size of america's? well, i think we, let's look at another stop from america. so the us census in 2019 said the, about 13000000 americans live under the poverty line. so it's $77000000.00 that could really go to help those people out a lot more rather than just be sending this money to buy the buy, basically buy weapons that it designed to kill people not to save lives. i think most americans are waking up and spending the coffee now in going, you know, hang on. there's all these things that it's that a, a wrong with, with the town i live in with my life, with all these things where i could really do with the government actually stepping in and helping me out. as opposed to just telling us that we need to write so full
8:37 pm
money and send it to send it to fight the complex far away from us in a country. probably most of us haven't even heard off into the, you know, just on the 2 years ago, you know, this obviously isn't the 1st time that the americans encountered this problem. and previously they have raised the debt ceiling. i look to see if they do come to a compromise which it seems like they have to can they just didn't definitely keep raising the best thing forever. i think the officers of it. yes. um no. i think yes they time, but no, they call and if the rest of the world stops depending on the us dollar, any way they can do that in the any way they can keep them perpetuates in this, this, the absolute crazy well that they've created is if everyone's still trades in the us dollar. the dollar eyes ation process could kill that ability for them to keep on increasing that, that borrowing and borrowing, borrowing and correcting fictitious numbers to service, whatever sort of women that they have to deal with in the international arena. the one person has died into shows and have been injured from ukrainian or territory shows in the russian border region of belgrade regional school. having to refer to

8:42 pm
but we really have to look back at the past year and the mistakes. and i mean monkeys and animals and laboratories. i mean boy, this really rings alarm bells in my mind. the world is a few seconds away from nuclear war. those the words of one of the us is most controversial. radio hosts alex jones doing an exclusive interview. so all the deutsche colleagues have a short listen while we have the same level of forces, share railing, us centering us and collapsing our borders, drawing our currencies and funding of the beginning of world war 3. and so i personally am, you know, doing great, i have 4 children and i'm happily married and i'm in the site of for human freedom . and are you a true liberal system, not the false fashion system that masquerades as liberal. and so, you know, i personally am in the fight, so i feel good about that. but i'm very, very sad. the state of the world are very sad for what's happening for all sides
8:43 pm
a union in ukraine and all the depths they're very concerned about moves now to go to war with china. so i'm really an concerned, you know, we have a major international organizations, like the atomic scientists grab an estimate where the closest nuclear war we've ever been in the history of nuclear weapons since 1945. and so the world is about to give just a few seconds to midnight. and so that's what i'm really concerned about. so really, i guess i'm not doing too well the world's not doing too well, but it seems like something we weren't aware of this or sleep walking into armageddon. it likes jones is the of the all the popular right. leading websites info was, were just being for the size of supporting conspiracy. conspiracy theories claim he denies jones as being bounds from a variety of social media platforms, including facebook, twitter, youtube, and others. one of the hosts biggest control overseas was a little student found on behalf of the families of victims of the 2012 sandy hook
8:44 pm
school shooting and connection to his public claims. the tragedy was staged. the radio host went on to testify that he changed his views on the event and apologize, but was ordered to pay new the $1500000000.00 and punitive damages. you know, just a few of his thoughts on fraud. they over through the framing and elected government 9 years ago. and his proxy war started then. and then a year and a half ago, the russians in the, in the east were being driven out and their pipelines being taken. so put and basically believes i can see the point force to come in though he walked right into a trap and i saw that on there and i'll do it. the show there's, there's blame on both sides. but i'd say 80 percent of blame goes on the nato. a lot of the global of germany's been dealt with because of world war 2. jeremy doesn't know the world anything. germany was 20 plus 1000000 people in that war. what's the nazis were done? the nazi's were done. so stop what it b e u and, and then the people that run the us your, you into, you've got to now go out and prove how good you are and fight the russian nazis. or
8:45 pm
you're helping hitler. because i've heard that propaganda, and i would just tell germans that you're suffering because the pipeline being blown up by bard, me brag the, but we have load up preposterous. the russians get a bite and said, if the russians go in to ukraine, we will get rid of the ordering pipeline one way or another victoria doing so they get rid of it. and then we even know the navy sailors, they train and panama to do it because the navy seals report back to congress. there's oversight. so we know they blew it up. we know how they blew it up. and so for anybody to say the old site or her says they blew it up site, hers has the witnesses. but, but everybody knows that that obama is the 3rd ministration. obama, really, everybody knows all biden blew up the pipeline and its a crime against humanity to cut off that power of the same day. they blew it up that other pipeline out of europe, up and up. so this whole thing is court in, of protesting is great running around you, all that. but if people started actually going and protesting of the houses other

8:49 pm
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 than damage and it is very pleasant to drive and new chapters and folding for musket beach, characterized by the events of an entirely new range of cars, which are not only modern, but user friendly as well as a safe russian made electric vehicle built upon a proprietary platform in domestic component base, the 1st models that have graced the revamped production line are the most of its 3 city crossover and the most of its 3 e electric car. if we look at the electric vehicles market as a whole, we can see the car and those around the country are choosing electric ones much more. often, the number of elect to call owners around the country is growing exponentially. speaking of demand, even though it is rise,

whistle blower. the in one bill tour was an auditor at the luxembourg office of a public accounting giant price waterhouse coopers from 2008 to 2010. he saw his job as one of being on 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 the one 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
8:54 pm

8:55 pm
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 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, which is her. so my very was uh, just to make uh, financial this uh, which consists in uh, verifying the accuracy of the accounts of my uh, items. so the clients of the, the but you see it look, some birds were mainly belonging to the financial sector. and what i discovered there was that's most, hey, let's say, oh,
8:56 pm
that makes a sense. um where in luxembourg i me for tax purposes. so obviously i, i wasn't at the very nave when i applied for a job in next summer. okay. and he was at a tax advantage where bots of looks and broken truck cvt. but what i found out as a junior auditor, that's is that most of nice, i have had no real economic activity, no employees, no turnover, and uh, and had specific agreements close as one's next, agreements also goes next, rulings in each looks on both tests. that's, i mean 3 administration approved some very, very, as the damages of inches, a tax practices. just to give an example i,
8:57 pm
for one of the firm i was a teaching, i found out that the effective tax rates was one around 3 percent. instead of the normal x rays around 20 or 50 persons. so it was a to us very, very low. and that's was loads. i think 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? or i choose is um people use the box. uh, as i know these are because i need to verify the accounts, but the so is this is a job, a fee or its uh, departments, the services. so uh,
8:58 pm
an advisory and tx, the boss months that provides a professional services including tax advice. um, so just to make it simple, uh, you have to imagine that's what was told. and these national companies operating in europe have a, an entity in luxembourg. uh that is used to lower uh, their textbook. and i, so the, the way you see has the knowledge of us, it's most national cans and, uh, and is really well informed to, to, to provide the tax advice and how to lower as a, so as a tax do. and, and, and what's the advice was to, to set up a look some burg, uh, entity, a that had new p o economic activity. but uh,
8:59 pm
that's a, was asking a tax agreement to the tax for which is the suspects i agree. months is a, as soon as he go in and is used to just approved in advance, which would be the tax treatments of uh, some sometimes complex. uh, operations is a um, a crust, ballinger and considerations. it's gonna be very complex. this way. sometimes you need is the approval of, of us and 3 of the authorities to over. so the legal risk you used to take. but that's what was, is really shocking in luxembourg is this is it. that's is the system of admin specs that agreements was used to, to, to, to approve the reading and receive text practices and was
9:00 pm
some interpretation of the international ethics rules. so that's, it could be effect in other countries because it was a really, a, it was going to far and, and then i just, and i, i followed him down, sees in 2000 and then a, as in the context that's maybe quite similar is the current context, it was the context of post financial increase. this was a very strong debase about the at the public budgets, especially in greece. greece has a very strong pressure to, uh, to cuts or endings. and with the increasing inequalities, there was many people struggling to to have access which patients who have
