"Child with a dove" sold to man in quatar

Pablo Piscasso's £50 painting was sold to a private collector in the Arabian country of Quatar. The painting "child with a dove" is one of Picasso's earlier paintings, he made it whenever he was 19 during the transition to the "blue period".

Tax pledge in U.K

 The government in Britain is accused of picking peoples pockets. The reason? David Cameron a conservative pledged to increase the inheritance tax limit to £1 million. He then decided recently to ignore his pledge and went along with The chancellor, Geroge Osborne plan to freeze assets at £325,000 until at least 2019 to fund reform of the social care system. This move will hit four million middle class britons. This relates to international business because we should care about other places economies, the middle class is important for trade and if they are effected so is their trades.

Former Prime minister dies after stroke

Margaret Thatcher, the first and only female prime minister died age 87.Her way to the top started when she joined parliament, then she climbed up the conservative latter joining the cabinet as the education secretary. She then won the election for prime minister, she was either loved or hated for her political stances. she was prime minister for 11 years, 3 elections.  She had been in bad health for a while, she had suffered from dementia in her later year.
this affects international business because she took a very important rule, she strived to put britian back on it's feet and become more globally involved and she did so, if it wasnt for her relationships and trade with Britan wouldn't be the same.
