resolution which probably will be voted on there and we did in the european parliament on thursday well actually that. the resolution may come true but that the e.u. council will not follow up on it as they have not on the last year i don't so i think that mr little reason to believe that we will see much change in the arms flows from e.u. countries to saudi arabia with maybe a few exceptions there and why i get the economic argument but there is growing evidence that we cannot keep arming saudi because of the war in yemen and yet countries law countries that said at least today a coming on board to provide arms why is that. well sighted media has always carried a totally disproportionate voice in the corridors of post in the u.k. and i expect that is the same internationally as well this is a regime which does put an awful lot of time and effort into lobbying often governments and does pin off a lot of time and effort into trying to build relationships and increase its influence no question of it but ultimately i think that economics is going to be driving point for a lot of these governments and that is irrespective of the devastating humanitarian conse

and this week, the parliament, council and commission failed to agree a new law on money laundering,a slight sense of deja vu in that i'm sure david cameron was, you know, going to crackdown on tax avoidance, he had summits here, and task forces there. i mean, without being unduly cynical, do you think anything is actually going to change any time soon? well, the eu should be the vehicle for dealing with this. this is something that has to be dealt with internationally. 0ne country on its own is never going to be able to sort out a global tax problem. but itjust seems to be caught up in the weeds yet again of, you know, individual self—interest. i suppose politically, though, it's like manna from heaven forjeremy corbyn, though, isn't it? of course, yeah. this plays to his narrative about the rich are doing terribly well, it'sjust us poor people on austerity. and the conservatives should do something on the crown dependencies, they could do more on publication of transparency and that sort of thing. and it will be a brilliant way of demonstrating they're not the party of the rich. to
