Europe's 'Unfair' Apple Tax Ruling Sparks US Anger

BBC World Service - Newsday, Europe's 'Unfair' Apple Tax Ruling Sparks US Anger

Apple tax; Chris Brown arrest; Myanmar talks

There has been widespread criticism in the US of the European Commission's ruling that Apple should pay up to €13bn (£11bn) in back taxes.

US singer Chris Brown has been arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon after a woman told police he had threatened her with a gun. The singer has several convictions for violence, including a 2009 assault on his then girlfriend, pop star Rihanna.

There have been reports of renewed fighting between government troops and rebels in Myanmar, just as the biggest peace talks in the country's history get underway. It will bring together de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi's government and guerrilla groups to try to end wars in its border regions that go as far back as 1948.
