maybe that's a few. of the. few the rulers are pocketing quite a lot from the oil the water and the gas that the riches of libya but and it may be that they are free but for the vast majority of the population it doesn't appear to be any full freedom whatsoever except the freedom to die or to be tortured i'm sorry to interrupt you but western countries have back to the current libyan government and some people on the ground accuse them of a lack of transparency and not really acting in the interests of the people do you think that criticism is justified. i think it is completely justified i mean it's will be the first time that we have seen western governments support despotic regimes and it's probably the first time we see them. teach them in saudi arabia is a is a very good example we've had to have the exultant in chile in the past we've had to see that what was called design

a on the mobile to. the west is very concerned about ensuring that its corporations get the highest amount of profits from exploitation of africa's resources that's the best basic name of the game they dress it up as as democracy and so on but it is you know the society has not been democratized whatever antics they might play in getting ballot boxes and so on that won't result in the basic problem that the majority of people in the a.t.o. want to determine their own future they want to have a role and say in what is produced how it's produced to whom it's produced third huge profits being made from oil the huge profits being made from gas if there are huge profits being made of water then the libyan people are going to step up to to benefit primarily from. the corporate she's not from what's not you know

the no two countries but having said all that in your view what do you think as the revolution has done for in libya. well you may call it a revolution but it hasn't been a revolution what it is being is an uprising in one small city. and what has been the result is that good nature took the brunt of the qatar two on people to carry out a regime change this is in a sense. a little different to what they did in iraq. and it is it is a stage and regime change that they carried out this is will be in the revolution groups there was a revolt because they are revolting people. but it is a lot of revolution and i think the. corporate leader has tried to.

draw parallels between this and what happened between this year and what happened in egypt but in those two countries it was the mass movement it was it was a popular uprising which didn't kill people which didn't go out to to massacre people or to suddenly execute but they overthrew their governments that are really was overthrown little brother was going through what was happily libya was a nato invasion supported by qatar and armed by the qataris and by the fridge and they were there ready to to wait for an opportunity and they took the opportunity to do so and i think they did that because they did not want this happening into syria and what was happening in egypt to spread further into into libya to your own they manage our resources are about we are running short on time editor in chief of the pan african social justice network thank you so much. thank

you very much. top police are searching for two more suspects in a failed terror plot they say targeted israeli diplomats and bangkok three iranians have already been detained. over tuesday's explosions in the time capital which is under international pressure over its nuclear program denies involvement there is really a pm however house called iran the greatest exporter of terrorism in the world but as reports from tel aviv many israelis aren't convinced. like the battle drones are growing louder and louder with israel continuing to this really harsh rhetoric towards iran accusing them essentially of terrorizing the entire world community there was a harsh statement which called to impose paralyzing sanctions on tehran all this while iran made it clear that they are indeed ready to sit down for talks to continue talks on its nuclear program but the prime minister has made

a statement saying that iranian aggression should be stopped so there of course that brings forth many theories that the military confrontation with iran is imminent and nowhere are these fears more prominent than in israel according to the latest polls less than fifty percent of the israelis support the idea of going to war with iran most of them believe that israel has enough problems of its own and that you don't really need a confrontation with iran there is of course the issue of palestine which never really completely goes off the table then there is the rather strained relations with lebanon which some fear may escalate into renewed conflict and the latest of those concerns of course is the issue of egypt where the muslim brotherhood said they might reconsider a peace accord which they do have with israel in response to u.s. pressure in regards to the scandal so a lot of people in israel primarily are thinking that perhaps israel should stop the rhetoric it does carry on right now and focus on its internal problems and the

problems on its borders rather than really push forth with aggressive rhetoric towards iran. some world news and brief review this hour german president christian wolfe house resigned the opposition demanded he step down over accusations he accepted a list of favors while serving as governor of lower saxony including a private home loan from a friend's wife on thursday a prosecutors called for his immunity to be lifted chancellor angela merkel has expressed regret at wolf's resignation and says she'll seek agreement with the opposition on the new president. a bomb targeting mosque or shippers has killed seventeen people and wounded dozens in northwestern pakistan the blast went off in the town of power russian are close to the afghan border thousands of pakistani civilians have died in bombings over the last five years most of them carried out by sunni militants business update with kareena now.

oh and while it's going to business here in arts here with me kareena malakand good to have you with me taxing russia's super rich has become a theme of this presidential election campaign from from our prime minister pushing it has put forward two main ideas first is imposing a levy on tycoons acquire huge wealth from the privatizations following the collapse of the soviet union second is a luxury tax on conspicuous consumption which would apply to things such as the mega yachts super cars and palatial homes now to discuss this i'm joined by andrea goals but managing partner at legal advisor calls but p l b thank you andre for coming to the program so let's start with this proposal to tax tycoons and the money they made during the one nine hundred ninety s. it was a long time ago i mean things have changed there was inflation there was everything how could such tax be implemented that it's fair. thing it's most complicated

question as to how to implement that idea to you know the tycoons but to text. privatization so-called because there is a belief within certain group of people that the privatization will happen and. the. auctions they want to do is. or the one of the leading russian enterprises acquired it for cheap there was a real price and the challenge is to identify who's going to pay the tax now as a many on this changes rightly so what should be taxed. to decide that two issues then they might find a way how to take that plan for privatization. there is an example in the world which is a british production back to one thousand. nine hundred eighty six. labor's

came to power in one thousand nine hundred seven they decided to tax the privatization but that they had a very. clear judgment of the fair price is worse is not fair prices those private companies who's been floating their prices went up immediately up to fifteen hundred percent those they only tax those and the price was being privatized by the way for taishan on the stock exchange and for them it was easy to compare their real price rises the original one and they takes it in russia i think it's going to be one of the key issue to understand what was the real price why that were the real price because in reality there was no market time right before and this were not allowed to participate in the privatization and that's very difficult to understand the market in order to clear the market also some of these companies were then we sold to other people so who is going to be taxed in this situation it's great and there's only way to tax that unfair privatization income

is obviously to take the company it's not the shareholders many shareholders now including foreign shareholders who owns it and the price from two b. to b. and you obviously cannot tax the existing shareholders basically penalizing them for the defaults of the previous owners so there's the only possibility and russia belief is the same as in the u.k. to tax companies because the new kid takes company says well no the shareholders ok well i'm afraid we don't have much more time to discuss this but it's a very interesting subject. that's all the business use i have for you at the moment i'll be back in about fifteen minutes with more here.
