We begin in Hong Kong where hundreds of people have defined a band on gatherings to mark the anniversary of the 989. 00 piano men square massacre. Hong kong used to be the only chinese city where a vigil could be held, but for the last 2 years, chinese authorities have banned it. 32 years ago, chinese troops killed hundreds. If not thousands of student protests is in beijing. The massacre remains a to bu topic in mainland china. A light to remember lives lost knocked out just moments later. But the resistance of Hong Kong is proving more difficult to extinguish Authorities Band and annual visuals for the victims of the 1989 Tiana Mon square massacre. For the 2nd here in a row, they cited close at safety restrictions, although other mass gatherings like concerts and football matches, have resumed. Where once a constellation of candles lit up the night, now lies empty. That neither the ban nor the threat of a 5 Year Prison Sentence has deterred people from turninG Out in the streets. Hundreds carry License Or Shine lights from their mobile phones. Or the whole thing we were being very peaceful. We ended up candles to commemorate and how they found your Hotel Room because theyre accusing us of violating so many different laws. Its an abuse of their power to detain everyone and to silence everyone come though, noticeably absent this year was vigil organize a child who was arrested by plain clothes, police are legit crime. Promoting unauthorized assembly weeks ahead of the 32nd anniversary of the gentlemen square uprising, the organization, Hong Kong alliance and led by charles, began promoting the commemoration ciao at the time, highlighted its importance is actually gone beyond just the requirements on time. And it also goes to the heart of what Hong Kong, where do we still have the 5 right in the hot weather . Yes. So this is and we are, we can still use of our pre freedom by our own action. Its a question, protest as are asking themselves, faced with an intensifying crackdown from beijing fighting for democracy, hes getting hotter japanese, most senior catholic cleric has offered his resignation to po francis.

My request to be released from my duties is my own personal decision. The humanity of this and get off from i have been struggling with my conscious for awhile. And after meeting with a small circle of advisors, ive decided to make this move. The more i thought about it, particularly around easter, the more clear it became i had to do this. Was side. Cardinal marks explained that on may 21st. He met with pope frances and read his written statement, declaring his desire to step down. He then received approval to release a public statement. Oh, the mark says the fate of children have been sexually abused in catholic church, left marks without peace. Over the years he heard more and more 1st personally, stories of suffering and i went to friends and i tell my story to the kind of when it comes out. Of course, none of us can make up for the horrors. The children have been through the wood, thats impossible. We cannot undo whats been done, but the victims expected and rightly so. They expect us to give them a sign that we accept responsibility for what has happened from, from the number one for many believe its not what the archbishop of cologne, cardinal Ryan Or Maria bulky wanted. He was heavily criticized for long Withholding And Abuse report to people inspectors are now taking a closer look at the situation. Marks went on to explain that he doesnt want to exert influence over how other church authorities handle their own feelings of personal responsibility. This was his own decision. Lets take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world.

And the Information Ministry accused twitter of double standards in ignoring violent messages from a separatist later even needed size have already been. Facebook is suspending former us president donald from for the next 2 years. The social Media Giant IndependenceOversight Board upheld its ban on trump. He was removed from the platform in january, following the storminG Of the u. S. Capital, the consent, his posts in science and violence. Facebook says it will assess also 2023, the risk to public Safety Post by reinstating from account. Now lets speak to d. W correspondence. Stephan simons in washington. Stephan. What is facebooks reasoning for binding from for another 2 years . Or you just said its and that is phenomenal and unheard of i think that the facebook things and sas and that is the reasoning that president Donald Trump remains to constitute to our and quote, as you pointed out, to be a risk to the public safety. Again, as you said, that was the band happened one day after the insurrection on january 6, on the capitol hill, january 7th, facebook announced were banned the president from facebook indefinitely. And now is basically what they did is they came up with a Rule Book and said ok, well now well limit this for 2 years. At least we can extend it then after reassessing. But as long as the President And Face to face, he does still constitute and is a risk to quote, public safety and quote, he remains banned from facebook. Thats the reasoning. All right, so how has Donald Trump himself reacted to this decision . Donald trump was quick to react with the statement he said, and i quote that this is an insult to his supporters and 2nd, courts another statement from him when he will be quote, back in the white house. There will be no more dinners for and with Mark Sucker Burke and his wife. So thats the reaction of the president. Of course, hes not happy about this, and this is how he expresses this to of course, happy about not being able to be on facebook because he had millions of followers on this platform. And they are seeing still nothing from the president on facebook, from the expert and former president , i should say not. Trump is, of course, out of the white house and of social media, but he rate remains an important figure for the republican party. What other political repercussions of this right adult from still runs the republican party, the G O p, all of G O, p s leadership in congress is a boeing to Donald Trump still in terms of decisions. And in terms of layinG Out what they going to do and how they are going to plan to win back Congress And Senate in 2 years time in 2022. However, this is a major a blow to them. Why . Because dont forget, Donald Trump and the republican party use this black to use this platform on our platform, social Media Platforms, facebook, twitter, and everything else, but specifically facebook to raise money. So there is a Cash Cow going going dry for Donald Trump and the G O. P, and that has repercussions that have consequences, less money for campaigning. All right, thank you.

Thats how long g 7 Finance Minister described efforts to agree on a global minimum corporate Tax Right after a day of talks in london coming up russia as President Putin has been addressing mr. Petersburg, international economics for him as his country tries to persuade the world. Its back open the Business And Montenegro want to the highway, but at what Cost Financing Deal with china has now turn sour stress and to suck you into the route to really business on robots in berlin. Welcome to the program. The net could be closinG On firms. You dont pay their fair share of Tax G 7. 00, Finance Ministers meeting in london say they are tantalizingly close to agreeing to push for a global minimum Cooperation Tax rates. Yet to come to a consensus on what the rate should be the us as proposed a minimum level of 15 percent. The aim is to end the practice of major corporation paying little or even know taxing countries whether heavily active Finance Minister or sean says it would be an end to the race to the bottom. It will be very effective. Yes, many countries will have high up texas, but it is, ive pulled that they know that there is a basis and it will be looked country by country. Im sure that this will be out from also. So we will have an agreement which will really change the words and we will be able to do what we, what we have to do for our people. And this will be a Turning Point in global corporation because the last case were going into the other direction. Now we are going into the global minimum Corporation Tax who go a long way towards addressing the uneven way in which businesses are charged around the world. Just have a look at the situation currently. So corporations operating in japan have the highest rates of tax to pay. 31 percent followed by germany in the middle of the pack. We got the United States and the united kingdom, but down the bottom we have switzerland and ireland, where corporations pay just 12. 5 percent in tax. Thats a key reason why its the base for firms like facebook and apple. The u. S. Is recommendation of a 15 percent global minimum would mean countries like island would have to increase that taxes . Lets cross to financial correspondent in New York young quarter and discuss this a little bit further. Yet. What are the obstacles that are getting the way, guessing the way of them getting this extra millimeter over the line and to a deal . Clearly the devil is always in the details. So we mind to find some common ground terms of that. We will have a global minimum text, but the question is, whats going to be the rate . And if we look at this summit right now with the Finance Ministers of the g 7 countries. So just 7 countries, the largest countries who already have a rather high culprit texas, the next round of negotiations will actually happen early july when the Finance Ministers of the g 20 countries are meeting. So there it will already be a bit more difficult to, to really find some common ground on the rate itself. So will it be 15 percent . Will it be lower at the u. S. At some point even had a higher rate in the back of its mindset. So its not one of the really big sticking points is what weight is it going to be and will we find some common ground there . The ultimate aim of this really is to make global corporations, particularly tech firms, pay more taxes. So wasnt gonna mean for efforts to, for example, develop a digital taxes in countries like the u. K. Friends, initially if i understand correctly, overall this global minimum, texas mostly addressed at the 100, the biggest companies on the planet and the biggest companies that more or less are the big us take a giant. So youre correct on that. The u. S. Administration as seems to want to push it pretty hard so that if we get a global minimum techs, that at the same time we will get rid of the digital techs that countries like the ok from or italy are imposing. So that also actually could be a big sticking point. Can those countries agree . Will they say ok if we get the global minimum techs, then we get rid of the digital techs, if they do not do that, i mean, that could be another obstacle when it comes to this. As you mentioned, historic step after all those decades where we had the race to the bottom, where the g 7 talks continue to morrow, young culture in New York for today. Thank you.

Politically and many companies remain skeptical about doing business with our shop. With the annexation of crimea, ongoing conflict and eastern ukraine and moscows imprisonment of Kremlin Critic Alex enough only have let the you and its allies to impose more and more sanctioned russia.

There are no more geopolitical issues. Theres no more poisoning, mascara, urgently need money. The sanctions and the pandemic have weighed heavily on the russian economy. So the country is doing all it can at the st. Petersburg economic forum to win back investor confidence. Some executives are more receptive to rushes invitation, including the head of the friends and i do try until time. I just like mr. Mc crone once more for an investment in france, Mister Putin once more investment in russia, we have to listen to him. It means that we are well received and having invested several 1000000000 euros in russia. I can confirm the french investors are welcome, and when a contract is signed in russia, its honored, theyre always annoyed to young. He turned his verdes into deeds by signing a deal with russia natural gas producer, nova tick, the 2 companies want to join forces to launch energy projects in the arctic. Now lets take a look at some of the other business stories making headlines. Russia has used the st. Petersburg international economic forum to announce that will completely remove us dollar assets from its national wealth fund, its being seen as a move by moscow to preempt the sanctions from the United States. Russia currently holds 41000000000. 00 us dollars accounting for around 20 percent of the total funds. For us to add nearly 560000 jobs in may falling short of analise expectations of around 650000 unemployment is. However, now below 6 percent more of the u. S.

Where the china has 10 itself into a major lender for infrastructure projects around the world. In 2014, the tiny balkan nation of montenegro tend to beijing to finance. A highway across the rugged nation is less than one quarter complete now, but the 1st Bill is already nearly due. And Montenegro Cant afford it. This massive Construction Project for a 177 kilometer long highway through montenegro is being built by a chinese company. The montenegrin government is financing. It was the 1000000000 Euro Loan from a State Run chinese bank. Thats a lot of debt to take on for a country with an annual G D P of around 4000000000 euros.

Montenegro, ask you to help re pay the 1st Installment of the loan. Thats due in july, according to the financial times. But brussels quickly rejected the request, they call the i think in the medium to long term, it would be better to support montenegro in this carry a situation that would allow the country to have closer ties with the european union. And then its montenegro has seen a sharp fallen revenue during the pandemic. Its economy depends on tourism, which has crumbled. But its not easy for the you to provide assistance. The Block Cant take over the loan payments, especially for projects it classifies as not economically viable. Districts from the, the support could consist of helping Montenegro Restructure its existing debt with china and then make an offer for further financinG Of infrastructure projects in the future from bytes and in question. And in that you can, you can at most, provide ongoing support to montenegro without giving it any money. But it will still be a heavily indebted country, dependent on paid ging.
