BBC World Service - World Business Report, "Panama Papers" Tax Scandal Expands

Papers leaked from a Panama law firm prompt authorities around the world to launch probes

We talk to Richard Brooks, a former tax inspector and author of "the Great Tax Robbery" who now works for the UK's Private Eye publication about the "Panama Papers" tax scandal. Meanwhile, unions in the UK call for more action to save the steel industry. We're joined by Jonathan Aylen, steel expert at Manchester Business School.
