We have. A look at everything. And were here to support the Climate Action because we really feel that teachers on the life. Of me the future generations will be facing the right if the oldest be there slave you have good reason why hes against it if you dont want it. Done quite right. That the congress at one time. Also on the day of the race to create the 1st corona virus vaccine but its the search for a cure the only motivation. Is part of russias Strategic Interests to always want to be 1st irrespective of whether its a revolution or the 1st flight into space now its about saying that were the 1st to develop a vaccine. Welcome to the day world fridays for future climate protests back for the 1st time since the pandemic back in march the rallies calling for urgent Government Action on Climate Policy went on live by the pandemic began today more than 3000. 00 climate strike events took place all over the world. Bad weather and social distancing rules couldnt keep them away the fridays for future protests are back thousands of people in berlin and all over germany urge the government to do more to combat Climate Change young and old came and along with their signs they brought the mandatory masks. People told me they were happy to finally be able to go back to the streets to protest thinking that during the coronavirus pandemic the issue of Climate Change had been forgotten their main goal for the protests is to push the German Government and the european governments to respect the 1. 00 degree limit to the rising Global Temperatures that was set by the paris climate agreement more than 3000. 00 rallies were registered worldwide mostly small gatherings due to the pandemic and stockholm greater tune back who started the School Strike for climate over 2 years ago was among the protesters before the pandemic millions used to march every friday like here in the belgian capital now protesters had to be more creative. Here in brussels climate protesters want to set a light on those regions of the world is that now already accepted by climate saves here behind me you can see video messages from climate protesters from all around the world there are just so that Climate Science is a global problem and that the climate is that Global Brands like you and the movement that made people protest on this friday here in nairobi kenya. And more than 10000 kilometers away brought activists to the streets of mexico city. For a government that they can number of larger scale projects. Much and not the right areas and thats. Busy young people who want to do what the engine do thank you new train connection that will lead right through the jungle protestors fee for their beaches clearing reefs and the overall biodiversity in mexico the coronavirus put a pause in the protest but it did have some positive impact to the cove in the 1000 pandemic has see the factories periodic lee suspend operations resulting in a reduction in c o 2 emissions in cleaner air but activists argue the world will eventually need to shift to permanently changing its behavior in order to bring Global Temperatures down. A permanent change that is what activists all over the world are demanding. Lets take a closer look at this with. Shes professor of environment and Climate Policy at munichs a Technical University welcome to you its often said we heard in the report that governments are not treating the Climate Crisis as a plot as a crisis is that true. When i think i think its true in that weve seen the governments around the world being rather slow in the development of Climate Policies but something that were also seen recently is that the. Mr future movements and very. Impact was more and more governments around the world starting to take action developing climate laws and now seeing climate emergencies. So that the european level the announcements of the green deal which has been a climate neutrality goal for mid century these are these are important changes and although price for a future movement may not be the only reason these things are happening that certainly played a role. In as much as what they that theyve brought into that highlighted it as as a. Governance you know that their. Future managed to do is to wake up media and get the media to really Pay Attention to an issue thats been around for a long time and i think theyve been able to do it because were not used to seeing hundreds and thousands of 14 and 15 year olds out on the streets politically active basically willing to speak directly to politicians and insisted that i just level of politics and basically say you are ignoring us youre forgetting us its our future we need we need action we need to. Your lack of action there if you choose instead and it has appeal its more sleep care of the young people and i think by getting out on the streets and by demanding change know the reason why. Theyve had impact theyve been able to motivate other young people and they didnt dance for change and they are being listened to ok so so we have the fight is for Futures Movement doing those things that you just outlined there but we also have that the more militant environmental campaigners like Extinction Rebellion to their activists antics and change the minds of governments all over otis as well just annoy people. And i think that what weve seen with the extinction. You act. The Media Attention pretty early on and im not so sure that having violence is really the right approach i think i dont think its the right approach but im calling attention to just how serious this Climate Crisis is what weve been hearing for far too long is yes were taking action but that action is very slow its been incremental and that is something that really is the insufficient its not sufficient for. The pace in which Climate Change is happening we really need to have the states out of fossil fuels we need to have a switch to Renewable Energy we need to build our cities differently im not only. Forgive me for interrupting i want to get them to sort of get coded into this because weve seen the vast amounts of money that industrialized countries have poured into saving their economies from covering. Are they likely to backslide on their climate commitments as a result of this old perhaps use this as an opportunity to embrace a green a future which way are they likely to go. I like to think positive so ill say theyre likely to at least put some of the investment money that needs to be happening to get economies going again in the direction of what the right is for a future who is calling for the Energy Transition the transport transition we just saw china announced that theyre looking towards a 2060 target for climate neutrality california with the big fires Just Announced that they are speeding up their calls for a transition of the automobile sector normal are gasoline fired automobiles after 2035 so i think i think things are going to change but of course we do have to. Wear them but maybe that technical difficulties have ahead of florida say in the end but professor marandi show us from unix Technical University thank you so much for joining us and apologies for some of they got technical sound quality that. The European Commission will challenge a ruling that the tech company aapl does not to have to pay a bill of 13000000000. 00 euros in back taxes to ireland. You quote decided apple had not broken any rules on tax and that it was not the recipient of illegal state aid from the Irish Government the commission alleges i have and all too would she be duty all the bits of the Irish Head Office that existed only on paper by avoiding paying tax on revenues or on the Irish Government did not require it. Sounds a bit tangled a weird doesnt it the folks are from d. W. Business explain well welcome kate what you see is the commission go to appeal or basically feel the European Commission is fed up with multinationals paying so little talks and it sees us very much as a homegrown problem under the current arrangements in europe every country decides for themselves what their Corporation Tax rate is are lent is famously low at 12 and a half percent and just to put that into context here in germany its 30 percent on even in the u. S. Its 22 percent this particular case though isnt actually about 12 and a half percent Corporate Tax rate its about Something Else its about how arland an awful came to a very specific arrangement and theres 2 sides to this im going to try and explain it as simply as i can the 1st how to do with intellectual property licensing and the other how to do with phantom capital so back in 2014 apple and arland came together and it was agreed that apple would move most of its intellectual Property Ownership to our land what that means is that if you buy an i phone in china. Company the subsidiary in china has to pay the Irish Company intellectual Property Service fees that can be a substantial amount of money doesnt disclose how much and you think ok this means that theyll have to pay 12 and a half percent tax on this favorable make the European Commission is not modified but still within the realms of respectability but thats not in fact whats happening so what apple has done is come to a very particular arrangement with the Irish Government whereby it says that those profits made are actually managed to elsewhere in a company that does not actually have a fixed abode and because of the us the Irish Government alive its awful to diverse its profits and the tax payable on us to a company that doesnt actually exist anywhere in particular and thats what led the European Commission to conclude that opera has in effect only been paying about one per cent rocks in our land 75 years old about millions perhaps even billions going from apple somewhere out there. Who are on the outs again to somewhere exactly 13000000000 to. Me it seems extraordinary that the Irish Government doesnt want the 1000000000 euros why well to put it simply because it thinks its relationship with awful on its reputation as a destination for tech investment is worth more than 30000000 euros and you can see why when you look at it from marlins perspective its a small country it doesnt have much industry of its own to both of these Tech Companies are hugely valuable to the company to the country they provide ties of jobs so theres not too much in it for our land to go tough at this point know that the person leading the charge from the commission this is the moderates a vest. And shes got form when it comes to going after u. S. Multinationals she certainly dont theres not many regulations that are household names but she is and shes tough she had no figure out all about going out and going after these companies so shes in 2617. The European Commission fined google 2700000000 euros for and favoring its own services in its Search Engine its also going after amazon and looking into how it treats 3rd Party Sellers on its platform so it really you really have to say that shes shes tough on this and shes determined to get her way so this latest court ruling that the Commission Says it will appeal so when are we going to get there and when will this all be over could take years and i think in the meantime the debate about Corporation Tax sovereignty is going to continue to rage in the European Union ok meanwhile that 13000000000 euros just sits out there resting in cyberspace all right Kate Ferguson from did every Business Bank you. Know next story has the ravings of a brown thriller catholic cardinals fighting over huge amounts of money a pope brought in to clean up the stench of corruption allegations of child abuse financial Corruption Court cases and overturned guilty verdict todays episode concerns one Cardinal Angelo a bench you who resigned unexpectedly on thursday on friday he told the press the pope told him to go because of allegations of investment he says the charges relate to 100000 euros that he gave to a Charitable Organization run by his brother the money is actually still in the churchs bank but questions are also being asked about a 200000000 euro London Property investment and again the way the cardinal tells it this all came as a bolt out of the blue. To give each are going to cause a tsunami on the year if you know it was a surreal feeling because until 6 oclock yesterday evening i felt as a friend of the pope a faithful servant of the part. And each of them in the pipe told me i no longer have trust in you may have been a kid even more than a singer that c. L. Made that was because he had received a report from the magistrates that i had committed embezzle months. They could not so what is going on at the vatican and who is bet you anyway he was a religious a fast correspondent of mata neg i cannot talk through the shenanigans welcome martin lets start with todays the main character Cardinal Angelo becerra boo is he. So bad use a very very high ranking figure certainly not a household name even for those that follow Church Politics but hes somebody that was in the department of state of the vatican under benedict and then under friends is. A piece of the if youre that actually held an enormous amount of power he was sexually the 2nd in line to better lean who is actually essentially the department of state or. Essentially that the person directly underneath the pope souci had unfettered access to the pope. To both popes actually he was in charge for a very long time with managing entire ambassadorial bodies about it buddy of there i think and he also was eventually moved to the office. Essentially proposes saints for going to the sation and hes somebody that had a huge huge footprint on the vatican korea so that hes essentially the civil servants. That move. To. This are the tick in the vatican ok so he was a big deal so how unusual is it for such a senior a cardinal or a cardinal is told to me effectively get fired and then to back the pope about why he had to go. Its very very unusual i mean so the 1st thing to be said is you know the way that the vatican percent. That bit you had presented his resignation cardinal said that state of their career do not present risk nations these just doesnt happen that essentially you know the very coronation often tired entire essentially. Really just live for a couple of truth now furthermore this is not just a cardinal this was a cardinal of the very top of the power structure of the vatican so that hes actually extremely unusual but its also got a few for me some that we all usually hear from the vatican. Rather surprising that you know almost a day after the game out he went out to the breast you essentially say that he indeed had been fired and you know he clearly takes takes issue with the way it was done and with the accusations that were leveled now if i were a conspiracy theorist id be looking for a link between todays resignation of cardinal bad shewn who was in charge of lodging once a vatican money the popes mission to clean up vatican finances and the Australian Cardinal George Pell who resigned not so long ago because of child abuse charges of which he was cleared can you draw us a line between. I can its not a terribly complex when essentially it comes down of it comes down to financial reforms within the vatican. Somebody that has been associated hes name has being you know said and whispered around different forms of receipts tends to financial reform inside the vatican and in relation to the vatican bank when theyre looking mean in to us appointed by these folks. To reorganize the financial structure east understood every day often said that bit too was one of the main opponents of bedlam as a matter of fact something that was even reported by the New York Times today. That they too was named as one of the people that bush to have bill essentially sent back to australia to face justice so it is very very much the case that what were seeing especially when we saw bell react today to to the sacking of bit you celebrating essentially and congratulating the boat for the move which that itself is very unusual this is something that sort of was done showing again i think the lines in the lines in the sand inside but you can politics so you dont need a great conspiratorial story here you just need to sort of follow follow the money as they like to say and a lot of the stories have to deal with these 2 figures of pow
