States and lead the world in total infections plus a dangerous flare up heavy fighting erupts between us a by john and our media the 2 former soviet republics in the caucasus accuse each other and reigniting a decades old conflict on their border and an undercover documentary airs tonight showing a top member of germanys a. M. D. Party suggesting migrants could be shot or gassed only ask just how far right is the countrys main opposition party. Mark its a pleasure to be with you although we begin this broadcast with extraordinary findings from a bombshell report by the New York Times on the eve of the 1st u. S. President ial debate New York Times details. Years of tax avoidance using questionable methods well u. S. President dont trump has outright dismissed the allegations according to the reports President Trump paid no federal income tax in 10 of the last 15 years the report says he was able to cut his tax bill by claiming heavy losses across his Business Empire and thereby losing more money than he actually made and casting doubt on his image as a successful businessman. Weve heard this line of defense from the president befall. Us to say this. But with less than 24 hours until the president ial debate the damage may have already been done. New tax revelations published by the New York Times are likely to give democratic rival john biden fresh ammunition at the traditional event sponsibility donald trump was reported to have paid just 750. 00 in federal income taxes in 26 steyn the year he won the presidency and in 2017 his 1st year in office he paid no income taxes whatsoever in 10 of previous 15 years thats because he reported losing more money than he made according to the times. Hes also reported to be personally responsible for loans and other debts totaling more than 420000000. 00 they are damaging claims for a man who derives some of his support from Blue Collar Workers through his cell phone market image as a successful businessman the president denies the details in the New York Times reports the 1st. State income taxes to the state churches a lot and he paid a lot of money at stake. Reveal is going to come here but if the weather is truly if im being they doing assessments weve been negotiating for a long time so it gets like in the us. Right there when you render it youre going to do it you do that so underwrite it but the story was a total fake but his apartments have already begun to hit back. From his long avoided making his tax returns public and hes the only u. S. President since the 1970 s. To do so as the november election looms virtues may demand more answers about the president s financial responsibilities. Well these developments are coming at a precarious moment for the president lets go now to washington to our correspondents are clearly much more who is covering these developments for you you know how damaging is this for President Trump well a i one would think that this should be really damaging for a candidate for the presidency of the United States of america but the truth is laid out that this country is completely polarized its divided into extremes and its very unlikely that people on voters change sides so having sad said this people americans who should be shocked about knowing about knowing about this because they do pay taxes some are not because of what trump said he says this is totally fake news and he goes even further this time he also says that the i r s doesnt like him meaning that the agency who is responsible for checking and knowing who pays taxes and who doesnt that they are against sinatra and his supporters they do believe that. Of course this whole issue about his tax returns has played for a long time why do some people in the us care so much about the president s financial records. Well i have there is an increase in inequality in this country over the last 30 years wages in the United States has increased substantially so there is always more poverty also in the United States and especially now during the pandemic there are lots of people of americans who are losing their jobs who have debts will have things to pay and still they dont pay taxes so they should be shocked about knowing that the president does not some are perhaps the swing forwarders are going to change their mind that are not going to vote for the republicans and for. This time. The ones who really believe in his words they most likely are not going to change their mind there was going to be my follow up question now that the near term since exposed the president from initial records this is have the potential to change the release or not that is a good question were going to see that but one has to say that donald trump this is his killing argument this is the argument he always brings and having talked to many people here in washington during the last days they do believe that these are fake news they do believe that things that are being reported here in c. N. N. For example are amiss in b. C. Are fake news and they do believe that things that the media who support donald trump say that they are telling the truth and the media who supports trump says that these are fake news and that this is not reflecting reality.
