	Description:		EU finance ministers have delayed plans to tax tech giants on sales rather than profits. Alex Cobham of the Tax Justice Network tells us why his organisation supports a move to delay in hopes of a global consensus, and Luca Cassetti of Ecommerce Europe argues that if the EU does take unilateral action, it could spark retaliation. Also in the programme, our reporter looks at plans to provide the entire world with satellite broadband service. As Americans across the country head to the polls in mid-term elections, our reporter is in the state of Indiana to find out what role trade is playing when it comes to the vote.
