There's an intense economic debate over whether and how to make tech giants pay more tax. Liz Nelson from the campaigning organisation the Tax Justice Network argues that the global tax system is out of date. Andrew Hewson, who owns two bookshops in south west London tells us why he thinks shops like his have an unfair tax burden compared to online retailers. And we hear the case for the likes of Amazon, Facebook and Google from Christian Borggreen of the Computer and Communications Industry Association. Also in the programme, Britain's finance secretary Sajid Javid has resigned unexpectedly as part of a cabinet reshuffle. George Parker is political editor of the Financial Times and explains how dramatic today's resignation is. Plus, in the wake of a rise in the sales of products containing cannabidiol, or CBD, extracted from the cannabis plant, the UK food safety watchdog has said it will ban products contaning the chemical if they don't gain regulatory approval within a year. The 大象传媒's consumer affairs correspondent Coletta Smith discusses what's behind the move, and we hear about the safety of products containing CBD from Professor Gino Martini from the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.
