Hello, this is business life with Sally and Ben. Fighting for Tower | :00:10. | :00:16. | |
coalition talks loom in Spain as the election fails to produce an | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
outright winner. Live from London today on Monday 21st December, this | :00:23. | :00:23. | |
is the top story. But as the country is plunged into | :00:24. | :00:43. | |
uncertainty worries grow for its fragile economic recovery. We will | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
assess what is at stake. Also Toshiba shares sank by 10% as it | :00:48. | :00:54. | |
reports a loss of over $4 billion. And with just seven trading days of | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
2015 to go, the euphoria of the rate rise last week in America is wearing | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
off. Worries over the global economy returning and the Spain election | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
outcome is not helping restore any sort of confidence. And keeping the | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
wheels turning, Eric will be with us, she is the founder of port | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
point. The firm is trying to install lots more charging points for | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
parking the car and networks reportedly paid zero tax in the UK | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
despite revenues of ?200 million here. Would that make you change | :01:30. | :01:38. | |

live hashtag. -- use the Business Live hashtag. Welcome to the | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
programme. Spain 's economic reforms thrown into doubt after an | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
indecisive election result last night. One that saw the governing | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
Conservative Party win the most seats but lose its majority. Now it | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
must form a coalition. That uncertainty could spell trouble for | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
the country's fragile economic recovery. The acting Prime Minister | :02:08. | :02:21. | |
Mariano Rahoy hoped it would help him win. What went wrong? This is | :02:22. | :02:22. | |
the ninth consecutive quarter of growth after Spain emerged from | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
recession two years ago. And employment has fallen from its | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
record high of 28% to 21%. Still high, the second highest in the | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
European Union after Greece. -- and employment has fallen. That has | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
worried opponents of the Conservative Party led by Mariano | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
Rajoy. Critics say many of the jobs created are part-time and badly | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
paid. Mariano Rajoy says he is optimistic that things will get | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
better. He scented his campaign on employment, promising 2 million more | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
jobs in the next five years. As these results show many voters were | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
not convinced by that promise. Rubin cigarette is the European economist | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
at the Bank of America Merril Lynch. Thank you for joining us. . Reaction | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
to the result, not unpredictable, we agreed, although it gives no idea of | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
what is ahead. I think it will take time to solve this. You need to | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
understand Spanish politics in three dimensions, left, right, | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
traditional. Where do you stand on Catalonia, and whether you are a new | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
party or an old one. Where you stand on reform. Given that each party has | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
red lines in each of those dimensions we thought any of them | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
crossing any red line, there's no outcome when you cannot rule out new | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
elections. We will be closely watching what each party says | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
regarding potential support. This political instability that will be | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
around for the foreseeable future in the short-term, depending on how | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
that has worked out, will depend on any policy changes for the future | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
and yet Spain needs strong leadership of that economy is to | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
grow significantly in the future. Exactly. I would distinguish it | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
coming in the short run, the economy is going well, they have made good | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
reforms and a hung parliament pretty much means you can't undo those | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
reforms. You have quantitative easing in place. In the medium run | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
Spain has challenges, they have solved some other they have a large | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
rate of unemployment, debt, a difficult position, and that needs | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
political consensus which won't happen in the next two years. That | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
leaves Spain in a very vulnerable position, two or three years down | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
the line. You have listed the problems, which is the most pressing | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
that, if there is any wiggle room in a coalition, where should the focus | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
speed when it comes to tackling at least one of those problems? It has | :05:07. | :05:18. | |
to be unemployment. 13% long-term unemployment, 53%... That is the | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
first... Is that why the other party did well? People are not happy about | :05:26. | :05:34. | |
the way things were done and we have had many corruption cases involving | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
traditional political parties. We could talk for hours about this, | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
thank you for coming in, time is of the essence, we will see you again. | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
Full coverage of the outcome of the Spanish election on the BBC website | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
as well as the business implications of everything we have heard from | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
Madrid. Brent Crude prices are falling again, down to levels last | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
seen in 2004, they have dropped below the lows in the financial | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
crisis, all down to worries of an oversupply of oil. Production around | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
the world is still at record highs, with new supplies looming from Iran | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
and the USA which will increase supplies further. Countries from the | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
World Trade Organisation have agreed to abolish subsidies and farming | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
exports from countries like Kenny, developing nations, critics say that | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
the subsidies have capped prices artificially low and distorted the | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
market, the WTO called it the most significant outcome on agriculture | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
since the organisation was formed in 1995. And a surprise, Star Wars, the | :06:42. | :06:49. | |
Force Awakens has made half $1 billion of profit in its opening | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
weekend and smashed the box office record in the USA, topping Jurassic | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
World. What Disney paid $4 billion for the rights to the series | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
four years ago. Have you seen it yet? I haven't. I'm going to night, | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
very excited. I'm going to bed early to night because I'm an air at 5am | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
tomorrow! Let's look at what is being talked about on Business Live | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
online, tracking reaction to the Spanish election, shares falling on | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
the main market in Spain by almost 3%. Do you remember Yanis | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
Varoufakis? He used to be the finance minister of Greece. He has | :07:32. | :07:32. | |
tweeted this. So as ever, Yanis Varoufakis is not | :07:33. | :07:50. | |
mincing his words. And a quick look at the spike in the cost of | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
borrowing. Any uncertainty about the economic situation always tends to | :07:58. | :08:10. | |
lead to a big spike in borrowing. Those are the stories on our pages. | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
A breaking story about Fifa. Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini will be | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
banned, says the ethics committee. They have claimed that a payment is | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
not convincing and was rejected by the chamber. This effectively means | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
that both men will be banned by Fifa and the ethics committee. More about | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
that as we get it. Clearly all of this relates to the bribery claims. | :08:42. | :08:53. | |
The other developing story has been about Toshiba, axing almost 7000 | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
jobs, all of which are in the consumer-electronics division after | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
a massive accounting scandal. It has also announced record losses for the | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
fiscal year. We can go to our Asian business hub in Singapore. Pretty | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
bad news. A record loss and loads of jobs going before Christmas. That's | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
correct, it will be Toshiba's second straight year of losses. More bad | :09:20. | :09:28. | |
news is expected, shares plunged by 20 9% after the initial | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
announcement, a massive loss for the year, $4.5 billion and thousands of | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
jobs going. Those jobs are only about 3% of the overall workforce. | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
not huge chunk of employees. They not huge chunk of employees. They | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
also plan to sell their TV plant in Indonesia and shut a research | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
complex in Tokyo. This company makes everything from cookers to laptops, | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
businesses and nuclear energy, their division includes a electronics | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
hasn't done well. An accounting scandal broke several months ago | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
revealing they had inflated profits by $1.2 billion over a seven-year | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
period. The company is under great period. The company is under great | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
pressure to restructure and to bring their finances back in order. But | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
we've seen many top executives forced to resign and we will see a | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
very different company in the months ahead. Lunch Mac thank you. Toshiba | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
sharply. Toshiba down by 10%, all today. You can see | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
sharply. Toshiba down by 10%, all based on expectations of big losses. | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
The actual figure was confirmed after the close of training. A | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
slightly different picture although the euphoria of the rate rise in | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
America last week is now rising and again the reality, the concern of | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
In Europe it will be the story of the Spanish elections. The governing | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
Spanish Conservative Party won although it lost its majority so it | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
needs to form a coalition. The risk is that Mariano Rajoy will have to | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
make concessions on economic policy which could derail fragile growth. | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
More about that in a moment. First, what Wall Street has in store before | :11:16. | :11:23. | |
the Christmas holidays. As the year and approaches markets begin winding | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
down, just seven full trading days in a shortened Christmas eve session | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
left. Prices could hurt stocks and without a modest rally markets could | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
end the year down for the first time since 2011. Some fresh economic data | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
will come out of this week, the US Congress department will release GDP | :11:44. | :11:45. | |
figures for the third-quarter on Tuesday. It is expected to show the | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
economy grew at an annual pace of 1.9% helped by increased spending | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
before holidays. It's expected to show that existing home sales | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
increased in November the 3.4% decline in October and on | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
Tuesday earnings reports will be out for Nikkei and ConAgra foods. | :12:05. | :12:17. | |
-- ten three Mac. Richard, a lot for people to die just this Monday | :12:18. | :12:27. | |
morning. -- Nike. Brent Crude falling to an 11 year low and people | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
edging into the silly season, where people are ending the week on | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
Christmas Day. A strange week. Adamson and if it is the silly | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
season, it is the time of year when people think about the future and | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
what to do in terms of investment decisions for the next year. Within | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
that, people are thinking what is the world economy going to look | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
like? It won't look sparkling next year. Specific areas in which we do | :12:50. | :12:58. | |
see growth pick-up, in the USA growth could be a tiny bit stronger | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
next van this year. This year it's been OK, quite a decent year for | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
them. For Europe, more importantly, this might be another year in which | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
it gains more momentum. Two years ago it was in recession. It has | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
picked up since then. Next year could see growth of almost 2%. | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
Interesting if we look at the way that the year is ending, so | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
different to the way it started, some of the same issues, rate rises | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
and commodity prices, although nobody perhaps could have predicted | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
they would be quite in the position that they are with oil solo and | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
rates not rising anywhere apart from the US and that just a tentative | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
rise, there's still a lot of uncertainty and fragile as the word | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
we are using to describe most economies. There's a lot of | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
uncertainty, a lot of it created by a different tone to the world | :13:52. | :13:53. | |
economy, different balance of between developing and developed | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
economies. If you think back to pre-recession, every into the wooded | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
would have been about globalisation and the emerging economies in Asia, | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
and fractures, commodity prices booming, things like that. That was | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
driven by demand in the West which was growing rapidly. Demand in the | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
West included the seeds of its own destruction, it was founded on that. | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
We are growing much less quickly in the West now. That is creating a | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
very different environment for emerging manufacturers and quality | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
producers, a different balance of world growth. Richard, thank you. | :14:34. | :14:43. | |
Let's fill you on the news that's been breaking about the former | :14:44. | :14:51. | |
president of Fifa, Sepp Blatter and his Uefa counterpart, Michel | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
Platini, they have been handed out fines and bans as well. They're | :14:56. | :14:56. | |
going to be banned for eight years. going to be banned for eight years. | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
This NUS is just coming through there, is from the Fifa Ethics | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
Committee. The prosecutors were calling for a lifetime banment the | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
ban will be for eight years, but the fine, a hefty one, 50,000 Swiss | :15:10. | :15:19. | |
francs for Sepp Blatter and 80,000 francs for Michel Platini. This | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
relates to the investigation into ethics at world football's governing | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
body. Lots more information on lin and we will be updating you as we | :15:29. | :15:30. | |
get the information. Still to come: Powering ahead | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
as electric cars become an increasingly common sight | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
on our roads, we ask how technology is keeping the wheels moving | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
and the batteries charged. The boss of the UK's | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
leading charging network, You're with Business | :15:45. | :15:44. | |
Live from BBC News. Here in the UK, it's been a hectic | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
weekend of last minute But whilst the shops | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
might have been full, many have already slashed prices | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
to get customers through their doors and whilst it might boost | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
sales, it hurts profits. Emma Simpson has been finding out | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
whether retailers have lost their nerve and | :16:05. | :16:06. | |
cut prices too soon. Well, we have got a few days left | :16:07. | :16:18. | |
until Christmas and they will be big shopping days, but if you look over | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
December as a whole, we are satisfied with our sales results. | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
One retail analyst told me that he detected a whiff of panic on the | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
high street. What's your sense? No panic here in Peter Jones as you can | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
see. All calm and orderly. No, I understand | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
discounting come from, but it is discounting come from, but it is | :16:40. | :16:40. | |
simple, that's all to do with the weather. It has been an extremely | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
mild autumn and that led fashion retailers to reduce their price, but | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
there is no surprise there, that's ever been thus. I think it is a more | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
stable position than the commentators are calling and to be | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
honest we have got to wait to see the whole period through right until | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
the end of clearance. In other words, it ain't over until | :17:00. | :17:01. | |
it's over. It is all to play for. it's over. It is all to play for. | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
Yeah, that's true. A few days left before Christmas, but we have said | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
this is about three peaks, black Friday, Christmas and clearance and | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
John Lewis has not discounted any of its home products in the run up to | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
clearance. It is a big period for us and it is only when you have gone | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
through that you can genuinely tell the profitability of Christmas. This | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
Christmas people have more disposable income in their pockets. | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
But that's not necessarily translating into greater retail | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
are feeling a little better than are feeling a little better | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
last year. The stats are clear. They last year. The stats are clear. They | :17:39. | :17:39. | |
have definitely got a little more money than last year, but it is | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
proving hard for retailers to continue to take the same share of | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
that spending. One of the practical consequences for retailers on that, | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
because presumably the gap is widening between the winners and the | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
losers? I think we are going to see a huge range of performances and | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
remember as online takes an ever greater share, those retailers who | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
really worked out how the bricks and the clicks come to go, those who | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
distribution chain, fulfilling the distribution chain, fulfilling the | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
orders, they will be the winners this Christmas. | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
Sandy Street the managing Director of John Lewis. | :18:17. | :18:25. | |
The Times is saying Sir Ken Morrison owns 2.6 million shares in | :18:26. | :18:26. | |
Sainsbury's. Surprising! Our top story: Political | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
uncertainty in Spain. Rajoy fails to win a majority | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
despite promising economic growth. The Fifa Ethics Committee has banned | :18:36. | :18:56. | |
Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini for eight years from all soccer related | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
activities. Both have been issued fines. That's the story that's | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
emerging as we speak. The Fifa Ethics Committee banning Sepp | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
Blatter and Michel Platini for eight years from anything soccer related. | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
This is relating to the charges brought against them. Ethic judges | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
ruling that Blatter broke the Code of Ethics and breach of loyalty and | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
offering gifts. Michel Platini being found guilty on breaking rules on | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
conflict of interest and loyalty. As electric cars become | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
an increasingly common sight on our roads, the battle | :19:36. | :19:37. | |
between the car makers hots up. Nissan, Tesla and Toyota | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
are all vying for the top spot Last year more than 320,000 electric | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
cars were sold around the world, but all of those need somewhere | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
to recharge and that means many more electrical charging | :19:51. | :19:50. | |
points are required. One of the firms leading | :19:51. | :19:52. | |
the charge is Pod Point, who run the UK's leading electric | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
vehicle charging network. Since 2009 it has sold more | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
than 20,000 electric vehicle charge points and developed one of the UK's | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
largest public charging networks. Erik Fairbairn is the founder | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
and Chief Executive of the company and says one in ten of us could be | :20:09. | :20:10. | |

do you charge it? At home and when I drive into the office I charge at | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
the office and when I'm out doing my shopping or my leisure time I plug | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
in anywhere I can. Are you London? I'm far outside London, but my | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
office is in London. It does depend on where you live as to the | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
accessibility of chargers outside of your driveway? Electric vehicles are | :20:46. | :20:52. | |
following population density. I don't see them as that in long | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
run. I think in the long run they are applicable to all of us, but | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
they have to start somewhere and the cities is perhaps where they are | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
starting at the moment. With new technology there is the chicken and | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
the egg thing. Is it the take up of electric cars will be determined by | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
to charge them or the charging to charge them or | :21:14. | :21:19. | |
points will be determined when there points will be determined when there | :21:20. | :21:20. | |
is sufficient people already driving an electric car? You can't have one | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
that leads the other by too farment you have to be developing both | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
things at the same time and they have to be proportional. It would be | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
lovely to have a charging point everywhere you could go, but in | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
reality, we have to ramp that up along with the vehicles. As you say, | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
you get area which have great charging infrastructure and some | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
areas which are bare, but when we look back at this time, we will see | :21:45. | :21:46. | |
a rapid roll-out of the electric a rapid roll-out of the electric | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
vehicle. You need full coverage for this to be a viable proposition | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
because it is no good thinking I will invest all this money in an | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
electric car, but you want to go and see friends who live in the country | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
and you realise you could drive there, but you can't drive back | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
because you can't plug the car in. It really needs full coverage or not | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
at all? You're probably right, but the way that these things | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
the new technologies arrive is the new technologies arrive is | :22:14. | :22:13. | |
certain parts of population start to adopt them and the availability of | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
charging infrastructure is one of the things that makes your people | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
adopt them. Perhaps at the moment there is people who live in the | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
South East of England where there is more of these things, that's where | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
prevalent. If you live in rural prevalent. | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
places, it will take longer, but places, it will take longer, but | :22:33. | :22:34. | |
this is normal. These things don't arrive everywhere all at once. Your | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
company was the first in the UK. You have clients around the world. | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
Norway is a big client of yours. Why did you start this? Is this a | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
is that where you're coming from? My is that where you're coming from? My | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
mission is to make sure that travel mission is to make sure that | :22:54. | :22:53. | |
doesn't damage the Earth. So I doesn't damage the Earth. So I | :22:54. | :22:54. | |
think, you know, looking to the future we should be able to travel | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
whenever we want and whenever we need to, but the challenge is making | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
sure that doesn't have a climatic impact and it is about getting rid | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
of carbon. I looked at the industry and said, you know, I can't solve | :23:05. | :23:11. | |
this alone, but what I can do is do get my company to make | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
charge points and together as charge | :23:18. | :23:17. | |
entrepreneurs, we can actually make entrepreneurs, we can actually make | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
a really big step forward in terms of the carbonising -- decarbonising | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
transport and making sure it doesn't damage the Earth. Thank you very | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
much Erik. It is popular out there. Any | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
technology and any new changes with regards the environment and | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
business. We will be here with that. I want to bring you up-to-date with | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
new lines on the Fifa investigation story. | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
News the Fifa Ethics Committee banned Sepp Blatter and Michel | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
Platini for eight years from all soccer related activities. Michel | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
Platini had bid to succeed accept platter as president, but that's | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
clearly not going to happen. -- Sepp Blatter as president, but that's | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
clearly not going to happen. Platini broke rules on conflict of interest | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
and loyalty. All this is this with the Fifa Ethics Committee. More on | :24:16. | :24:16. | |
that at the top of the hour. Both that at the top of | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
men said they would appeal against men said they would appeal against | :24:22. | :24:23. | |
any sanction. This is a story that's likely to run and run. More at the | :24:24. | :24:25. | |
top of the hour. Richard Jeffrey from | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
Cazenove Capital Management Your thoughts, it is another company | :24:31. | :24:45. | |
that's been named and shamed? This is another international, big | :24:46. | :24:47. | |
international technology company which has been accuse. Accused of | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
sheltering income in a low tax area. Netflix are saying there are lots of | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
development costs and we're not making money internationally, there | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
is a hint that they are booking revenues in areas where they pay | :25:03. | :25:03. | |
less tax and they are not booking less tax and they are not | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
revenues in the places where they revenues in the places where | :25:10. | :25:09. | |
make them. This is an international make them. This is an international | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
problem. It is not a problem that the UK can solve on its own. It is a | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
problem the major countries have to get together and sort out and it is | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
to do with fairness. It is interesting this should follow on | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
last week and said it paid more in last week and said it | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
taxes in the UK as part of that taxes in the UK as part of that | :25:30. | :25:30. | |
announcement. New Year's Eve s that a big thing for you? Well, it will | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
be a big thing for us. I know what you're going to ask me. We're going | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
to be on Exmoor which will be a very nice New Year. Dubai is about | :25:41. | :25:48. | |
conspicuous consumption, if you're into conspicuous consumption you're | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
going to go to the place where it costs the most. And that's Dubai! | :25:52. | :26:00. | |
More on the Fifa story at the top of the hour. We will see you soon. | :26:01. | :26:01. |
