BBC Radio 4 - The World Tonight, Treasury cancels tax cut promised for self-employed

A promised tax cut for self employed people has been scrapped.

In-depth reporting and analysis from a global perspective.

A promised tax cut for self employed people has been scrapped; we hear an explanation of what the move means from Carl Emmerson, Deputy Director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, and from the Conservative MP and former cabinet minister John Redwood. 157 years after Britain banned gay sex in India, the country's Supreme Court scraps the law. We speak to Anjali Gopalan, founder of the Naz Foundation - one of the activists who brought the case. And as ten soldiers in South Sudan are jailed for rape and murder in an attack on a hotel compound in Juba, we hear from Gian Libot, one of the aid workers who witnessed the attack.
