Amazon Hit in EU Tax Crackdown

Available for over a year

Amazon has been ordered to repay €250m in back taxes by the European Commission. Jeppe Kofod is a Danish member of the European Parliament, and explains the background to the move. Also in the programme, in the wake of Sunday's independence referendum in Catalonia, former Spanish security minister Francisco Martinez Vazques tells us why he thinks a Catalonian declaration of independence would be a disaster for Spain. Following British prime minister Theresa May's party conference speech, we discuss the latest state of play for Brexit talks with Sir Vince Cable, leader of the British opposition Liberal Democrats, and Roger Bootle of Capital Economics. Plus we have a report from Georgia explaining why the country's hazelnut crop for this year is expected to be cut in half. (Picture: An Amazon facility. Picture credit: Alamy.)
