G7 : Global tax plan

BBC World Service - Weekend, G7 : Global tax plan

Finance ministers of the world's richest nations confident on joint global tax rate

Finance ministers of the world's richest nations confident on joint global tax rate.

G-7 finance minsters are set to agree a common approach to taxing multinational corporations that could raise revenues for governments around the world. We hear from a free market economist.

Also on the programme: Donald Trump has accused Facebook of censorship, after it said his suspension from the service would last for at least two years; and as Mexico goes to the polls tomorrow, we hear from those braving the violence to stand for office.

Joining Paul Henley on the programme is is Julia Buxton, a professor of criminology specialising in international drug policy at the University of Manchester here in the UK and Sune Engel Rasmussen, the London-based correspondent for the Wall Street Journal newspaper.
