:04:13. > :04:16.people find it's unacceptable and we need to know why. If you were the
:04:17. > :04:20.Chancellor what would you do that was different at this moment? We
:04:21. > :04:25.wouldn't have a delight this? You would tell HMRC not to do the deal?
:04:26. > :04:28.We would have openness and transparency. Should politicians
:04:29. > :04:34.publish their tax returns? Yes. Would you publish your tax return?
:04:35. > :04:38.Yes. Remember, there is no suggestion Google has broken the
:04:39. > :04:42.law. Big companies' tax bills are not just calculate it by where they
:04:43. > :04:45.do business but by the kind of business they do in each country.
:04:46. > :04:50.When you are looking at which country gets what tax you don't
:04:51. > :04:59.carve it up as to where the sales are under current rules. The closest
:05:00. > :05:02.simple principle to how you carve it up to negotiate it is where is the
:05:03. > :05:06.value added? Ministers have already changed the law to make it harder
:05:07. > :05:10.for firms to avoid tax. The government is careful to point out
:05:11. > :05:15.the deal with Google was brokered by the taxman at HMRC, not a deal that
:05:16. > :05:19.was done in back rooms by ministers themselves. But this is simply too
:05:20. > :05:24.tempting a political attack for Labour to leave alone. They'll use
:05:25. > :05:27.every chance to embarrass the government to try to make it hurt.
:05:28. > :05:31.There have been awkward conversations about other big
:05:32. > :05:34.brands. Dozens of companies have signed up today to tighten the rules
:05:35. > :05:38.but that won't shut down the debate here about who pays what and what is

:05:47. > :05:48.Today's agreement in Paris - was described in some quarters
:05:49. > :05:50.as the most fundamental change to
:05:51. > :05:54.for almost a century - and it's being seen as a vital step
:05:55. > :05:56.- to make big global companies - pay more tax.
:05:57. > :05:59.For its part - Google says it is operating entirely
:06:00. > :06:01.within the law - and has done nothing wrong.
:06:02. > :06:04.To take a closer look at how tax rules affect multinational companies
:06:05. > :06:05.- here's our economics editor Kamal Ahmed.
:06:06. > :06:07.International tax law is certainly complicated -
:06:08. > :06:12.Let's try and unpick how Google operates.
:06:13. > :06:16.Britain is the tech giant's second biggest market.
:06:17. > :06:22.It sells ?4.6 billion worth of its products here.
:06:23. > :06:27.Google is also an American company and, under tax law,
:06:28. > :06:33.that sales money is mainly taxed in the US -
:06:34. > :06:35.via, somewhat controversially, low or no tax countries like Ireland
:06:36. > :06:47.That structure is comparable to a British company selling
:06:48. > :06:50.products abroad - it would pay most of its tax here.
:06:51. > :06:55.So why does Google pay any tax in Britain?
:06:56. > :06:57.Because Google in America pays mooney to a subsidiary,
:06:58. > :07:00.Google UK, over ?1 billion between 2014 and 2015
:07:01. > :07:11.The profit from that payment - as Laura's piece mentioned -
:07:12. > :07:19.Just over ?46 million, actually a figure pretty comparable
:07:20. > :07:25.In Paris today, the global economic organisation,
:07:26. > :07:27.the OECD, signed a new deal on global tax.
:07:28. > :07:29.Nobody's willing to pay more taxes than they should.
:07:30. > :07:33.The question is: are they going to pay the taxes that they should pay?
:07:34. > :07:37.And all we are saying is - fair share - and all we are saying
:07:38. > :07:43.is - logic - you pay taxes where you generate the profits.
:07:44. > :07:47.There will be more transparency on who pays what where and other
:07:48. > :07:49.countries are keen to ensure that Google pays more tax
:07:50. > :07:56.TRANSLATION: It's a good thing that Google resolves its problems
:07:57. > :07:58.in the UK, but Google also has to sort out
:07:59. > :08:01.We do not want to reach a one-off agreement,
:08:02. > :08:08.We are looking at what activity a particular
:08:09. > :08:14.company has in France so we can request a fair amount of tax,
:08:15. > :08:18.not more, not less than other companies.
:08:19. > :08:25.as I said, last year Google paid ?46 million in tax.
:08:26. > :08:34.And that's from a company that tonight announced profits
:08:35. > :08:39.of over ?1 billion globally for the last three months.
:08:40. > :08:45.It is unlikely that this controversy has run its full course.

:13:16. > :13:21.abducted on her way from school in Walton-on-Thames
:13:22. > :13:24.in Surrey in March 2002. Bellfield was jailed

:13:35. > :13:37.by detectives about claims The Court of Appeal has ruled
:13:38. > :13:45.that the government's spare room subsidy - the so-called 'bedroom
:13:46. > :13:47.tax' - discriminates against the family of
:13:48. > :13:49.a severely-disabled teenager - and against a victim
:13:50. > :13:51.of domestic violence. They had both argued that changes
:13:52. > :13:53.to housing benefit - unlawfully discriminated
:13:54. > :13:55.against them. The Government has been given
:13:56. > :13:57.permission to challenge the ruling - as our home editor
:13:58. > :14:10.Mark Easton reports. The Government calls it the removal
:14:11. > :14:16.of the spare room subsidy, but to many it's the hated bedroom tax.
:14:17. > :14:19.Today's opponents welcomed a Court of Appeal ruling that the policy
:14:20. > :14:23.which cuts housing benefit to those deemed to be under occupying social
:14:24. > :14:31.housing discriminates against vulnerable people. The Rutherford
:14:32. > :14:36.family from Pembrokeshire had gone to court arguing they needed a spare
:14:37. > :14:40.room so carers for their severely disabled grandson could stay
:14:41. > :14:45.overnight. A victim of domestic violence who is secure panic room
:14:46. > :14:48.counted as a spare room also sought a judicial review. Although both
:14:49. > :14:52.households get discretionary housing payments from their local council,
:14:53. > :14:59.the Appeal Court judges said the policy was a breach of human rights.
:15:00. > :15:02.I am a bit lost for words, I could almost cry with happiness. And I
:15:03. > :15:07.hope that other people in our situation are going to benefit from
:15:08. > :15:13.this court's decision as well. Bedroom tax, introduced in 2013, has
:15:14. > :15:18.reduced the housing benefit bill by almost ?500,000 per year -- ?500
:15:19. > :15:23.million per year. Of those households affected 45% saw their
:15:24. > :15:28.household composition change and 20% change their earnings, or found work
:15:29. > :15:35.and 12% moved to a smaller house. Among those still affected 57% have
:15:36. > :15:40.reduced spending on food and heating and 37% borrowed money and 29% have
:15:41. > :15:42.applied for emergency funding. The Department for Work and Pensions
:15:43. > :15:47.have said they have significantly increased the amount of the
:15:48. > :15:51.emergency help, ?500 million more available for discretionary housing
:15:52. > :15:54.payments since 2011 and an extra ?870 million over the next five
:15:55. > :15:58.years. But ministers say there is also a moral argument for the
:15:59. > :16:03.policy, that a spare room is a luxury people in the private rented
:16:04. > :16:07.sector have to pay for. Our fundamental position is that it's
:16:08. > :16:11.unfair to subsidise spare rooms in the social sector if you don't
:16:12. > :16:18.subsidise them in the private sector where people are paying a housing
:16:19. > :16:21.benefit. Nevertheless, an independent evaluation of the policy
:16:22. > :16:25.finds confusion, frustration and little certainty for honourable
:16:26. > :16:30.groups, news that ministers are appealing today's judgment was
:16:31. > :16:35.greeted by the Rutherford family with this may. I've just heard this
:16:36. > :16:39.minute that the Government are going to appeal, which to me is just
:16:40. > :16:44.ridiculous, because people like us don't need to be constantly,
:16:45. > :16:50.constantly applying for stuff, begging for stuff. To those that
:16:51. > :16:56.call it the bedroom tax, including both Labour and the SNP, the policy
:16:57. > :16:59.should be abolished. At ministers argue the removal of the spare room

:22:00. > :22:02.more complex than chess and played by more than 40 million people
:22:03. > :22:10.around the world as our technology correspondent, Rory
:22:11. > :22:12.Cellan-Jones, explains now. It's 2,500 years old and the rules
:22:13. > :22:16.are simple, but Go is a game of huge complexity and no computer has come

:22:24. > :22:25.called AlphaGo and lost. The programme was developed
:22:26. > :22:30.by a British artificial intelligence company, bought by
:22:31. > :22:32.Google two years ago. It's creator - himself a Go player -
:22:33. > :22:36.says the computer first studied the patterns that
:22:37. > :22:43.are repeated in games. After it's learnt that,
:22:44. > :22:45.it's got to a kind of reasonable standard through looking
:22:46. > :22:47.at professional games, it now plays itself,
:22:48. > :22:49.different versions of itself, millions and millions
:22:50. > :22:51.of times and each time gets As computers have advanced,
:22:52. > :22:57.they've taken on more In the 1950s, they beat
:22:58. > :23:03.Noughts and Crosses, a game with 362,880
:23:04. > :23:12.possible positions. In the 1990s, they cracked Chess,
:23:13. > :23:15.which has 9 million possible But Go offers complexity
:23:16. > :23:19.on a completely different scale. Here's the figure for how many
:23:20. > :23:24.different positions there can be in one game - 10
:23:25. > :23:27.to the power of 171. That's one and an awful

:23:34. > :23:36.seen as a key moment. There have been teams from around

:29:18. > :29:20.I dreamt of winning Grand Slams and being Number One in the world
:29:21. > :29:24.and that dream stays the same, I think, as long as you're doing
:29:25. > :29:28.the career that you're on. In the last year-and-a-half,
:29:29. > :29:30.she's jumped 100 places Many believe it's new found inner

:29:37. > :29:47.matches and that was why I was saying, you know,
:29:48. > :29:50.she's so impressive when she gets She's been working
:29:51. > :29:53.with a psychologist. You know, she's been

:30:00. > :30:04.to reach the final four and believes recent British success
:30:05. > :30:09.has bred success. Success like we had at the Davis Cup
:30:10. > :30:12.is obviously great and, you know, the other players
:30:13. > :30:15.see that and, you know, I mean, Jo has obviously worked
:30:16. > :30:29.extremely hard over the last 18-months or so to put herself
