Hello,I'm Justin Green with the BBC news.
Panama has decided1 to set up a special commission in the aftermath of the leak of millions of documents from the law firm Mossack Fonseca. Panama's government reacted angrily earlier this week when the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development criticised it for failing to clean up its tax system.The announcement was made in a televsied address by president Juan Carlos Varela.
The government of Panama through foreign office will create independent committee of national and international experts to look at a standard practice and propose
measures which we will share with other countries to help increase the transparency of the illegal financial system. We will not only work within our own country but
also to benefit the rest of the world.
The French parliament has voted for a new law, making it illegal to pay for sexes. The move will affect an estimated 13,000 sex workers that will treat them as victims
rather than as criminals. Anyone caught buying the services of a sex worker could now be fined up to 1500 euros for first offense2.A MP who supported the bill said the
aim was to protect prostitutes who want to leave the profession. She said that it was important that people using prostitutes knew they were part of.
We have to explain to people that they are not innocent, they're not innocent if they're buying sex. I woule like people to think a little bit about where our money is
going. It's going to criminal networks and to pimps.
The president of Sudan Omar al-Bashir has said he will step down after 31 years in power when his current mandate3 ends. Thoma Fess spoke4 to the president in the
Sudanese capital Khartoum.
President told me this would be his last term and he would not run again for office in 2020. Sceptics would say that he had already pledged to step down in the past
and later went back on his words. Wanted by the International Criminal Court on multiple counts of genocide, war crimes and crimes against huamanity, al-Bashir denied
recent reports of abuses alledgedly carried out by government forces in the Jebel Marra area of Darfur. The UN says more than 100,000 people had been displaced since the start of a military offensive there earlier this year.

Egyptian citizen, was arrested after a tense standoff at the Larnaca Airport after he forced the Egypt air flight to land there. He claimed to be wearing an explosive
belt but later to be proved fake. He said he wanted to get to the island to see his ex-wife. Officials have said he is psychologically unstable6.
