BBC World Service - Weekend, G7: Landmark tax deal

The world's richest nations agree on tax for multinational companies

The world's richest nations agree on tax for multinational companies.

A landmark deal struck by finance ministers of the world's richest nations - meeting here in London - to make multinational companies pay more tax, has been hailed as historic but do all nations agree with it?

Also on the programme: Regional elections take place in eastern Germany today ahead of the national vote in September; and Mexico holds its mid-term election amid massive political violence.

Joining Paul Henley on the programme is Márta Pardavi a Hungarian lawyer and co-chair of the Hungarian Helsinki Committee, a human rights advocacy group and Tom Nuttall, journalist and Berlin bureau chief for the Economist magazine.
