This is VOA News. Reporting by remote, I'm David Byrd. Facebook said it would suspend former President Donald Trump's accounts for two years following its findings that he stoked violence ahead of the deadly January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. AP's Sagar Meghani reports. Facebook says it'll keep the ex-president's accounts suspended after finding his posts stoked violence before January's Capitol riot. The social media giant's quasi-independent oversight¹ board last month upheld a suspension but had given Facebook six months to decide what to do longer term. Facebook says it also plans to end a contentious² policy that automatically exempted³ politicians from rules banning hate speech and abuse while others can still read and comment on Trump's page he cannot post new material. Twitter, on the other hand, has permanently⁴ banned him. Sagar Meghani, Washington.

The Group of Seven representing some of the world's richest nations are within touching⁵ distance of a historic deal to close the net on large companies that don't pay their fair share of tax. We get more from Reuters Conway G. Gittens. Economic leaders from the G7 gathered together for talks on Friday and our, quote, "just one millimeter" from a historic global tax deal being pushed by the U.S., French finance minister Bruno Le Maire told the BBC. A particular focus of the minimum tax rate are the big international tech firms like Amazon, Facebook and Google parent Alphabet, which are adept⁶ at exploiting the differences in varying corporate⁷ tax codes. A deal could raise tens of billions of dollars for governments, offsetting⁸ the big spending done by many governments to prop-up their economies during the health crisis. That's Reuters Conway G. Gittens. This is VOA News.
