12:04 pm
meaningful improvement to the situation with some point our role in iraq militarily needs to come to. an even if there is horrible military violence going on there i mean the question is being raised is are reengagement going to help i doubt that seriously but what i think we do need to do is to remember that we create these conditions and we have an ongoing obligation and you know we've got to make sure that i mean if we can play a diplomatic role to help cease the violence we should and if we can certainly help rebuild this country i think we have a moral obligation to do so because we are part one i have spent on purpose or iraq told us how he believes us some nations are trying to use iraq's sectarian ribs to break up the entire region. you know you're. the arsonist. the fire i mean the station created all this you know it's your rage kill them you know

as a refugee prosecutors have charged proselyte deen corben off with conspiring to provide material support to the islamic movement of uzbekistan an american designated terrorist organization and off he was arrested in boise idaho where he has lived since immigrating to the u.s. it's also nice but what's not clear is how a man allegedly tied to a terrorist network was able to bypass the u.s. is seven hundred billion dollar national security apparatus and enter the country some would argue that homeland security officials should have thoroughly vetted it was back and rejected his application for refugee status but when it comes to the u.s. homeland security system expensive doesn't necessarily equate to affect it according to a report by the u.s. inspector general the u.s. justice department temporarily lost track of former terrorists who participated in

america's witness protection program now the independent investigator found that officials at the witness protection program failed to share the fictitious identities that had been created for terrorism linked witnesses with the f.b.i. terrorist screening center that's the agency that maintains america's terrorist watch and no fly lists so as a result some participants of the witness protection program that were put on a no fly list could have flown commercial flights without approval in the meantime the u.s. that of these use to track suspected terrorists has reportedly reached eight hundred seventy five thousand names that's more people than the entire population of cyprus clearly washington does not have enough resources to monitor each and every name on. outlets and as recent developments have challenged the u.s.

such as barclays bank and tesco it's unlikely to make easy reading for the british government which is about the possible years promising to climb down on corporate tax avoidance now actually is a charity that's been looking into the issue and i'm here to talk to turks policy expert mike lewis who authored the report where these findings come from. mike thank you very much for joining us the british government's been promising to clamp down on tax avoidance for a while now we've seen a number of stories and scrutiny towards companies such as starbucks and amazon and google so it looked like progress had been made but what did you find when you looked at the bigger picture a new research found that tax haven operations and companies are almost universal amongst the world's largest companies the u.k. has a particular responsibility here one in five of the world's tax havens are under the u.k. jurisdiction what's the link between overseas tax havens and the developing world.
12:21 pm
the link quite simply is that the developing world in developing countries are suffering from tax avoidance further and faster than the u.k. and other countries so the o.e.c.d. estimates that developing countries lose up to three times more money to tax havens every year than they receive in international aid this is g eight provides a real opportunity particularly to tackle the problem of tax havens and tax avoidance what we need from the g eight is a global deal that forces tax havens to disclose assets and wealth hidden on their shores and forces them to share that information with countries from day one thank you very much for joining us they have as you've just heard david cameron has promised to tackle the issue of global tax avoidance at next month's g eight summit which britain will be chairing but so far it's unclear how firmly britain is prepared to act in order to stamp out the culture of corporate tax avoidance. r.t.

was always at the center of american culture in american life that in now as the big chains move then not only do the prices tend to go up but they squeeze the little guys out the pharmacists however small pharmacies have more issues than just the increase of big box shops health insurance companies have been merging with drug stores taking away americans choice of where they can get their medicine if they fell at my location they would have to pass a fifty percent of the cost of the medication if they fill that c.v.s. they would only pay thirty percent of the cost of the medication sara fronto has had her shop in a small community in upstate new york for about six months offering personal attention and a more intimate approach she's built a good reputation with the locals fast i'll do it right now but the pharmacist says an increasing number of her patients have been learning they have no choice but to do business elsewhere at a giant pharmacy across the street what they do is we just had one this week a woman came in she wanted to fill her prescriptions out our pharmacy she was sick
