1:08 am
could prove particularly damaging to the u. k. government highlighting its failure to establish a register of offshore property owners despite repeatedly promising to do so. let's get more from roslyn. jordan live in washington, dc. russell. how damaging these revelations like to be fur for king abdullah? well, i'm not an expert on jordanian politics, but i am aware that in recent years there have been questions and criticisms aimed at king of della for not to ruling as democratically as some of his citizens would . like. certainly there have been some token efforts, according to the king's critics, to while liberalize the political process to try to make it easier for people to gain employment or access some sort of a political activity. but that really this is of the hashemite kingdoms a real grip on power in that country. now, while jordan did not experience any really real major tumult during the so
1:09 am
called arab spring of 10 years ago, there is a component that believes that the country could be more democratic. now, whether the publishing of the pandora papers actually in sites, new public criticism of the kings, a personal law, financial behavior, and whether it leads to anyone saying that there needs to be more democratization in the way that the national government in amman is run. that really remains to be seen of remains to be seen. but certainly this does not look good when you consider that according to critics. this is a situation where the ordinary people don't feel that they have any opportunity to have the kind of access to enjoy the kinds of privileges that those who hold power apparently get to enjoy. and as you've had the u. k doesn't come out of this at t well, is a similar story tool with a us well, there is

1:11 am
had a reputation for being the processing plant for a credit card companies. a notably, apparently is also getting him the business of being a place where leaders and very wealthy people can set up trusts to basically conceal the extent of their financial holdings from the general public. now, while there is generally expected a right to privacy in the united states, there is also this expectation that people who are in the public sphere who are working for government, whether at the local or federal level, do have to make their financial holdings known. so that people know where there are not, they have conflicts of interest. and certainly, if state governments are making this possible for people to conceal the extent of their financial dealings, it does create a question mark about whether or not these officials are being as honest as they say they are. so you might see more of
1:12 am
a push for more what we call sunshine in law's here the united states making it so that people who are both in the u. s. political sphere as those for, as well as those from overseas have to be much more transparent about what they own, what they're holding on to, and whether be any conflicts of interest or resulting because of their financial holdings. thank you very much indeed. rosalind jordan re challenge has more now on the european leaders mentioned in the papers. the pandora papers are essentially reinforcing what we already knew, which is that london property is a very convenient, buoyant way for some of the world's most rich and wealthy and powerful people to park. what can often be dodgy, cash, one kind of example, not necessarily of all of us, but of some of it is tony and charee blair, tony blabbing, the full british prime minister. what they did, it seems, is to use

a, an offshore company in the british virgin islands, to help them by a multi 1000000 pound prophecy in london. and avoid paying thousands of dollars worth hundreds of thousands of dollars worth in property tax. now, is this a legal? no, it's not because it's tax avoidance, which is perhaps morally questionable, but legally it's ok. and many, many other european figures are going to be coming out of these documents in the days and weeks to come to who already left to the for one of whom is president zelinski of ukraine. who in his campaign to become president, is very critical of his full runa, petra shanker. an oligarchy who is an answer, he said, was corrupt, and was squirrel in cash or overseas? well, it seems that zalinski has been doing something not completely dissimilar together with a group of associates on his, his tv comedy days. it looks like he was participating in an offshore scheme which
1:14 am
allowed him to not declare some of his assets prime minister on refurbish of the czech republic who is actually up for reelection later this week. it seems he used a very convoluted offshore steam to help with the purchase of a multi 1000000000 dollar property in the south of france. will that hurt his re election? chances go have to wait and see that for elections coming up later this week. 1000 people engineer been rallying in support. the president k sand demonstrate to say they back, his pledge to change the political system. the opposition knows accused him of carrying out a qu by suspending parliament in july and announcing plans to rule by decree. and on sunday, police rested in m p and a t v presenter who a prominent critics of the president and smith reports from a capital t unit. 2 months on from the 2000000 president's decision to suspend parliament and sac, the prime minister. his supporters don't think he's gone far enough. thousands of
