to date we've got less than 2 thousand let me explain. my instructions to the staff were you'll go out and you'll go out with this list and you'll inspector those businesses and if they interest have a po s they'll get a refund they'll have to apply but if they're not registered we'll delete them from the database that's how we're down to 2 thousand businesses from a corrupted file at the tax collectors that was bizarre. that's where we're at right now. you'll see the 39 percent of the businesses have one po s and two to three have more than that. so, now i go to the part where how much have we spent >> how much have we received. i'm not sure how many of you have experience hiring through the city but this was a new program and i have are a person to conspiracy and do the inspections i had all my staff. so we spent about 95 thousand 2 hundred plus up front on staff that was like half of a person and hiring of another half of year we brought in $68,000 and in 2012, we haven't hired everyone but we spent 93 61 but got in 76 and identified t

back to the two programs that the bush administration published in two thousand and four and two thousand and six so we all know that there's polisi of regime change in cuba from the united states well you know something very interesting is that some agents came from other alleged american countries what do you make of that i mean does that mean that their governments are also complicit in any obvious what's happening there. i don't have any information of that but my question is where is the student aware of the risks that we're taking by participating in this kind of program and the my the other question is who would have taken responsibility if these students were arrested by the cuban authorities. two and sentenced to prison term because this is a repeat of a very serious violation of cuban law. all right i was live from france professor soling ramani thank you so much indeed for your thoughts here on our to international thank you. now one dennis seeking to ignite the u.k.'s space industry and possibly will scotland in the process are desperately boyko looks into the prospect of spac
