How US billionaires avoid paying income tax

Newsday

Available for over a year

How much tax do America's billionaires pay? Details claiming to show how little income tax the most wealthy pay have been leaked to a news website. We speak to an investigative journalist who says some have been paying nothing at all. Are citizens of the European Union about to get a digital Covid certificate as proof they've been vaccinated? We'll speak to a member of the European Parliament which is deciding on it now. And we go to South Africa to hear about the corruption probe against the health minister - did two of his aides syphon off Covid funds?
