the spanish government says it will impose a tax of up to 100% on properties bought by non—residents from countries outside the eu, including the uk. it is one of 12 measures proposed by the spanish prime minister, aimed at improving the affordability of housing in the country. other plans include a tax exemption for landlords who provide affordable housing, transferring more than 3,000 homes to a new public housing body, and tighter regulation and higher taxes on tourist flats. non—eu residents bought 27,000 properties in spain in 2023. pedro sanchez didn't give any more details on how a tax would work, or a timeline for presenting it to parliament — where he's often struggled to pass legislation. but the prime minister says what he calls an �*unprecedented move�* is needed to help tackle

the country's housing shortage. translation: there are too many air b&bs, and there i is a lack of housing, and therefore the duty of the public health administrations of the government of spain, is to prioritise the residential use of the apartments and prevent the tourists and speculative use from continuing to expand at an absolutely uncontrolled way, and at the expense of the neighbours of those properties. 0ur correspondent guy hedgecoe has more on the pm's announcement this is a substantial part of the market. but in the future, what he wants to do is to charge 100% of the purchase price of properties for those people from outside the european union who want to buy properties in spain. 0bviously, that's a very high tax. there is a little bit more information as well, which was given on the government website, which said that this is a policy which is in place, or a similar policy is in place in some other countries. and it mentioned canada and denmark as countries

tthe idea here is to make more housing available for local people rather than for foreigners. 0ur panel tonight is james crisp, europe editor of the telegraph and kevin craig, former labour party parliamentary candidate, political and media expert and founder of communications firm plmr. i must tell you both that this story has been it right at the top of the most read, already talked top ten most read list of stories on the bbc news website and app today, so obviously a lot of people interested in this news. james, is this a spanish story or a brexit story or both? i is this a spanish story or a brexit story or both? i mean, it is become _ brexit story or both? i mean, it is become more _ brexit story or both? i mean, it is become more -- - brexit story or both? i mean, it is become more -- both, i it is become more —— both, there is no denying brexit doesn't help, non—eu, non—eu residents are affected which means it with the impact on british people, but this isn't some kind of revenge for brexit. spain is in the grips of an extremely serious housing crisis will stop i was speaking

to our correspondent in madrid earlier today before coming on, and he told me that for every property that was on the market, three families are competing for it, so that is a serious issue. on top of that, for public housing, it is not up for public housing, it is not up to scratch, there is not enough of it, and the way spain is organised, it is organised in federal regions, autonomous regions, which means the central government doesn't have the levers or ability to grab a hold of this problem by the scruff of his neck, so this tax, it's a blunt instrument, quite an extreme instrument, but it is handing sanchez at summit levers to do something about it, and it will be a popular move, certainly with people who vote for sanchez and his left—wing coalition. find his left-wing coalition. and ossibl his left-wing coalition. and possibly one _ his left-wing coalition. and possibly one that _ his left-wing coalition. and possibly one that she - his left—wing coalition. and possibly one that she will manage to get through. he indicated that sometimes he has problems getting laws passed, but you think this is one that will go through pretty easily?

yes, i mean, i hesitate to say that, i have rarely covered an election in a country as polarised as spain, the culture war which reaches therebetween the centre—right and the centreleft, then to the more extreme parties on the fringes, is really comparable, i would say, you know, the divide to be sought in ritson during the brexit campaign. there is real aggravation between these political parties. but maybe this is an — political parties. but maybe this is an issue _ political parties. but maybe this is an issue that - political parties. but maybe this is an issue that might l this is an issue that might unite more than divide. just bring kevin in on this story, and james was seen brexit, he said, doesn't help, but this is fundamentally a spanish story and we are seeing, notice and spain, but in lots of countries questions about investors are coming. we hear mr sanchez talk about airbnb at the beginning of the clip, to buy properties, rent them out to

holiday—makers, and there just isn't the accommodation for the people who actually live there. i doubt that was superb analysis from james, i know it's a — analysis from james, i know it's a firm _ analysis from james, i know it's a firm but just analysis from james, i know it's a firm butjust spain well, _ it's a firm butjust spain well, know the language in the history. — well, know the language in the history, and i am particularly interested, this is from the angle, _ interested, this is from the angle, is— interested, this is from the angle, is another hammer blow to those — angle, is another hammer blow to those british ex—pats who have — to those british ex—pats who have already suffered a lot from — have already suffered a lot from brexit, many of whom who live in _ from brexit, many of whom who live in spain and made their lives — live in spain and made their lives there, but it is a broader_ lives there, but it is a broader story for europe in terms _ broader story for europe in terms of— broader story for europe in terms of housing, showing that, and james — terms of housing, showing that, and james is absolutely right, this would be popular because it it is — this would be popular because it it is clearly nationalist and _ it it is clearly nationalist and self—interested policy aimed _ and self—interested policy aimed at dealing with chronic shock— aimed at dealing with chronic shock -- _ aimed at dealing with chronic shock —— housing shortages on the back— shock —— housing shortages on the back of— shock —— housing shortages on the back of unemployment levels. _ the back of unemployment levels, housing is a massive issue — levels, housing is a massive issue in— levels, housing is a massive issue in ireland, a big factor in recent_ issue in ireland, a big factor in recent elections, and us here — in recent elections, and us here irr— in recent elections, and us here in britain, it is one of the — here in britain, it is one of the six _ here in britain, it is one of the six areas where if the labour— the six areas where if the labour government does not deliver— labour government does not

language users. it's as us supreme court justices are due to rule on a law that gave tiktok a deadline of the end of this week to either sell its us operations or be banned in the country. tiktok�*s china—based parent company bytedance has repeatedly said it won't sell, arguing a ban will violate free speech protections for it's the 170 million american users. let's speak to paul armstrong, emerging technology adviser at tbd group. thank you forjoining us, paul, tell us a little bit about rednote, i think that literal translation from the chinese is little red book, isn't it?- little red book, isn't it? yes, it launch _ little red book, isn't it? yes, it launch in — little red book, isn't it? yes, it launch in 2013, _ little red book, isn't it? yes, it launch in 2013, is - little red book, isn't it? yes, it launch in 2013, is valued i little red book, isn't it? yes, it launch in 2013, is valued a| it launch in 2013, is valued a little bit over $3 billion in the moments, recently got1 billion in funding and it is making runabout $1 billion in profit, good for an app of that size. ., ., . ,

social media platform as well, which, you know, it seems to be constantly in the news along with everything to do with the incident with tedious regularity, i wouldn't actually bang tiktok but i would put a temporary ban on news about things on the internet for a week and see if everyone can survive. ., �* , ., , survive. that's an interesting idea, survive. that's an interesting idea. that's _ survive. that's an interesting idea, that's another - survive. that's an interesting idea, that's another debate | survive. that's an interesting i idea, that's another debate for us all, i think, and idea, that's another debate for us all, ithink, and i'm pleased to say we have got paul back now we can tell us more about red notes. hopefully the line will hold, paul if you can pick up where you were with describing what exactly rednote is. �* , ., describing what exactly rednote is. �*, . ., describing what exactly rednote is. �* , ., ., , ., is. it's a mix of pinterest and instagram. — is. it's a mix of pinterest and instagram, as _ is. it's a mix of pinterest and instagram, as they _ is. it's a mix of pinterest and instagram, as they said, - is. it's a mix of pinterest and instagram, as they said, it i is. it's a mix of pinterest and instagram, as they said, it isj instagram, as they said, it is a hit — instagram, as they said, it is a hit extra _ instagram, as they said, it is a bit extra tucked _ instagram, as they said, it is a bit extra tucked into - instagram, as they said, it is a bit extra tucked into it - instagram, as they said, it is a bit extra tucked into it with the chinese _ a bit extra tucked into it with the chinese version - a bit extra tucked into it with the chinese version of - a bit extra tucked into it with the chinese version of yelp l a bit extra tucked into it with l the chinese version of yelp and googie — the chinese version of yelp and googie also, _ the chinese version of yelp and google also, so _ the chinese version of yelp and google also, so lots _ the chinese version of yelp and google also, so lots of- google also, so lots of connections, - google also, so lots of connections, there - google also, so lots of connections, there is. google also, so lots of. connections, there is also google also, so lots of- connections, there is also a fumbling _ connections, there is also a jumbling future, _ connections, there is also a jumbling future, lots - connections, there is also a jumbling future, lots of - jumbling future, lots of information _ jumbling future, lots of information into - jumbling future, lots of information into one i jumbling future, lots of - information into one specific app information into one specific app that— information into one specific app that is— information into one specific app that is not— information into one specific app that is not necessarily. information into one specific| app that is not necessarily in everyone's_ app that is not necessarily in everyone's cup _ app that is not necessarily in everyone's cup of— app that is not necessarily in everyone's cup of tea. - app that is not necessarily in everyone's cup of tea. the . everyone's cup of tea. the interesting _ everyone's cup of tea. the interesting part— everyone's cup of tea. the interesting part of- everyone's cup of tea. the interesting part of it - everyone's cup of tea. the

let's go back to seoul in south korea, we have been short—lived

pictures throughout the programme where south korean investigators have clashed with supporters of presidentjune as they tried to arrest him, related to the failed declaration of martial law back on the 3rd of december, remember that was a pretty short—lived event, with the president backing down after quite a short period under pressure from lawmakers in the parliaments and an outcry from the public as well. since then, some members of the public have decided to back him, to continue to back him and be more vocal about that. they are gathered there tonight along with critics of suspended presidentjune, and the president june, and the investigators presidentjune, and the investigators train for a second time to execute this arrest warrants on the president. we heard earlier that there was a human chain formed by mps, members of parliament that support

president yoon, that police were trying to get our bronc —— i run that by going to the back of the presidential compound and get in that way to carry out the arrest warrant. there is no specific update on that but we do know that the police who are clearing the way, if you like, for the investigators, are trained to find a way into the presidential compound. we are seeing that police are also attempting to break up some of the crowds that have gathered around the presidential residence. so let me bring you up—to—date with some lines actually just coming up—to—date with some lines actuallyjust coming in to meet, we have seen south korean police have been applied to neara mountain police have been applied to near a mountain near the back of the presidential residence, so they are trying to get in by any means they can, really, because previously, when they try to execute this arrest warrant, there was a 5—6 hour standoff between them and the presidential guard. and that

standoff happened without any incident after five or six hours, the police decided to walk away from that, but this time they are trying to make sure that they get through to arrest president yoon, suspended president yoon, his lawyers are saying that this is an illegal attempt because they say that the warrant is illegal. we will keep you right up—to—date on what is happening there, but obviously huge concern in the region, huge concern in the region, huge concern by all of south korea's allies around the world about what is happening in what has been a bastion of democracy in this region. and right now on the context, it is time for the panel. and our panel tonight,. 0ur panel tonight is james crisp, europe editor of the telegraph and kevin craig, former labour party

parliamentary candidate, political and media expert and founder of communications firm plmr. thank you both very much for your time today, i know is the time in the evening where you —— we ask you to talk about something that is caught your attention, and we begin with you, james, you want to talk about the death of the comedian tony slattery, what are your fondest memories of him and what he has done question mark? like a lot of people, i was watching him on whose line into this anyway on channel 4 back, quite longer than i care to remember but i would love it when he came on with seemed extremely anarchic, funny, and also kind of a bit more dangerous than the other guys who were on there, and of course, it became clear he had these deep seated mental health issues and personal problems, but, you know, ithink issues and personal problems, but, you know, i think of this moment, ijust remembered all of the moments of glee and

generally dry for most of us today with more low clouds, some outbreaks of drizzle towards some western coasts, but also some sunshine. the mild air of course helping the snow to continue melting where we still have it. and it's more of the same as we head through the rest of the week. a mixture of cloud but also some sunny spells. it's largely dry, mild, particularly in the north and the west, and there will be some areas of mist and fog developing too, and that's most likely across the southern half of the uk underneath this area of high pressure, where the winds stay light, the high deflecting these weather fronts out towards the north and the west, but here it's breezier and also much milder too. you can see that mild airjust sweeping in on the south—westerly wind, marked in the dark yellows and the ambers. so for the rest of tonight, then a mixture of cloud and some clearer spells, a few outbreaks of patchy rain for the western isles, perhaps, and it's going to feel mild too, for the time of year, particularly mild out towards the far north and the west. double figures hanging on, but as the mild air passes over the cold ground still, we're likely to see mist and fog start to form, particularly likely across the southern half of england and into wales,

and where the fog forms, and it could be quite slow to lift and clear, so could linger on for much of the day, lifting into low cloud but more in the way of sunshine, i think for northern ireland. southern eastern scotland, northern england and into north wales, with a slightly drier feed of air. less moist temperatures double figures apart from where we keep the mist and fog for much of the day. it is going to feel cooler than that. as we head through wednesday and into thursday, the high starts to drift off. thursday morning could be quite a cold start to the day, particularly where we have the early sunshine, maybe even a touch of frost. it's a windy looking day as well for north west scotland, the western isles and up through northern ireland generally for these irish sea coasts. but there will be quite a bit of sunshine around on thursday. cloudier in the far north and west. also mild here still, and also cloudier out towards east anglia and generally across central southern england too. so as we go into the weekend, we'll start to see a slight dip in temperature as we draw

in some continental air. the high gradually drifts eastwards, allowing for these weather fronts to approach, but they are quite weak and they are going to fizzle out. but nevertheless, as we head through the rest of the week, generally dry, a slight dip in temperature. a few outbreaks of rain in the west on sunday, bye—bye.
