that people will go for the information. that they want to express. on facebook twitter object to touch. you trying to frighten you no it's a fact what do you expect that it did to terry means white dogs and that that's what does it mean extreme right often it's not. the 1st quake they expected would you mind letting me finish my sentences plato's. it's no secret that if you're a populist a nationalist parties are gearing up to try to make
12:31 am
a splash at the coming european elections but who's helping them we are nationalists we are separate so we leave all our members with all one with their own vision and principle in respect of all what this except you're used comfortable phrases like it's a club meant for the exchange of ideas from nationalist populist movements across you're talking strategy for bang and it's far more combative than that isn't it he called it gumming up the e.u. parliament in other words blocking your purposes essentially destructiveness and no it's to review not building in i mean although you're breaking yards now we are we are reinforcing and rebuilding the preeminence of the national what does he say he said the beating heart of the globalist project is in brussels if i drive the stake through the vampire the whole thing will start anticipate well pretty self-important play we aren't they we're. if we we analyze the situation in the
12:32 am
sense that the system like the us both to mclean and imperialism a kind of imperialism i have confidence that the forces of democracy of real democrats in europe will be stronger than these autocrats and i hope they will because indeed there is a rise of populism in europe doesn't look like it doesn't well wait for the results of the 21000 elections and then we'll talk i know you did better in bavaria and you done a little better in but they're very strong and they're very powerful and we will see whether they keep gaining strength and i doubt it we'll see it's the backs you particularly like isn't it no doubt between you said it in showing 2013 if you're black go back and i want to stone me and to be a white country these were your words in turkey 13 television talk show here. we were roundly condemned by other politicians including the human rights group
12:33 am
here in parliament 80 percent of stern and we had a there was apologists own 80 percent of its tone and agreed with that statement so take it as it is conveyed to present the statement you would have been you would have won the election you know and when the elections you came 1st we did very well but i want to us about the status of this visit this is what. he says. we will get to the racism issue what do you want with all this crackdown on migrants you want to preserve your identity and such with want to preserve the italian and european identity we want to why it's all nationalist parties across europe you want to see more white nationalist parties are pushing that idea the dented tarion kind it's not a matter of white nationalist parties believe he's not a white nationalist party lorenzo's from time since he saw an identity theory and conception of. awaking all across europe. means white that that's why i
12:34 am
said we are meeting was to protect the european identity the european christina roots for example the european culture detail and culture but it is you that is giving to this identity. the. arrest of the blow up and that's not the demeaning in any way that the league and our representatives are doing so we want to protect the cultural roots the christian roots of europe it's not hard to work out what you go around saying muslims equal threat was an equal threat over and over and that now some of the analog some people are going to react badly and some people are going to turn violent we want to treat the german germination they don't even the european union but we're talking about germany here we don't want to have that a muslim country we accept muslims there are lots of muslims who are well integrated into our society who take place no problem everything's fine but what we
12:35 am
do not want to accept is that islam is starting to have an impact on our social life and our public life and our you know. you're not addressing the point i wanted to make about about this idea that muslims are a threat to germany. muslims are spread to dreams this is for example something what we're we're getting from the jewish community the jewish community isn't working in the new world let's face it the situation in venezuela could hardly be more complex the united states along with some 2 dozen countries is backing the new interim leader one way to go russia and china support the incumbent ridiculous from our bureau now we have france spain germany and britain who have recognized the new interim leader as president how long can you go on with this people are defecting from the administration one of your colleagues venezuelan
12:36 am
ambassador to iraq the fact of the queues in matter of violating the constitution is his right and their force general near force. military in washington you know military fashion washington has gone how long can they hold on you doesn't depend on that i mean a president doesn't hold or doesn't hold on because of foreign countries ask them or like them or not he's impoverished the country and he's subject to the massive repression well i think the name here is to have the transition that is taking place continue to take place peacefully we met with the. we met with. those representative the new ambassador to the united states and one white go is the president of venezuela at the present time we believe strongly that the morning to you we believe strongly that the. that the venezuelan people should
12:37 am
be commended for the way that they've handled this they used the rule of law to rep to remove. mr maduro he's still there he's still venice some of them would you mind letting me finish my sentence as plain as the international community is going to want why don't the recognition he said i mean i got it from inside the country that you know he absolutely does have it from inside the country said people on the streets that's not the same thing isn't what it what do you expect that people on the streets as power people on the streets it's love. people on the streets support people on the streets as an expression i mean come come and hope and the other end of hell and her life her future and it can come and go well the people that are supporting. the girl are the rogue's gallery in the world including the iranians. the the russians the north koreans
12:38 am
pull frosting on mccain as he was is and said you don't think this is a stalemated situation it's not now all the countries there are liberal democracies that have the rule of law recognize our constitution and they recognize the legitimacy of one why they are that we are in a situation where a drug cartel has taken all the levers of power by the way doesn't mean you're going to succeed does doesn't mean you're going to reason die trying we have no option but to fight for our people i will fight for my people until i draw my last breath how long do you think president maduro can hold on now 6 years i hope. weeks of mass protest in hong kong show no sign of coming to an end but how bone will vary doing put up with you more than a few weeks ago a few days ago that if things got worse the chinese army might consider taking to the streets you said when there's trouble in hong kong when things turn sa there's
12:39 am
violence in our history our fear is that if the police are now able to control what is happening here there's a remote risk the chinese army would get involved how remote is that risk if it's so well known of the why why did you why did you mention no i hope you will never happen why did you mention if it was a remote risk trying to frighten people you know it's a fact everybody understand except you you don't understand it. hong kong is a place where it is being operating is operating under the one country 2 systems it is a not very successfully is it calm is a huge political compromise we are part of china under the basic law china has a responsibility to ensure that hong kong is stable everybody who is doing business here want to see hong kong to be stable all right so yes under the basic law there is provision for the the beijing government to interfere if nobody hoped that
12:40 am
it would happen i'm trying to say that we're trying to of avoid this happening so i'm not instilling fear into people sorry i'm simply reflecting what is stated in the basic law and what is the political reality of the situation of course we created size the hong kong government especially the council tried to establish a law which your hong kong residents disagree and it doesn't trust sold that little utilities carry larger that to you the chief executive you blame the carrot carol lam the chief exec she's beijing's appointing russian history she is the appointee even so-called elected by some hong kong representation so they're wise why hasn't she was what i ask how can people as common people is there a democracy in syria system we need we in hong kong need to gain the trust and confidence of beijing so that they can allow us the freedom of political reform
12:41 am
what about the other way round what about beijing's duty to earn the trust of people in hong kong it was once both ways where they have managed you know the suspect has runs both ways only 2 years they have managed it's only about unfair and they've been doing the most of trying to win you know holes all show that people do not of the majority of people still do not identify something i don't advise all the beijing government i shall go i would have to work on them. everybody at work got to work harder you think the people of hong kong should play nice to their masters in beijing i might throw the crumbs i do use only to use over the words the words i use is that we should communicate with each other and wish to instill confidence in each other that's what i'm saying why china is not using force to press down the demonstration why they compromise why because they seek opportunity to prove they can challenge. this week conflict zone is at the annual security conference in munich i mean plenty of recriminations and bad
12:42 am
blood between europe and washington are you trying to tell me that europe has lived up to its commitments under nato is that what you're trying to tell me because believe me there is no belief or that on anybody's part that some of the european nations are not living up to their commitments and indeed look i've done this for 10 years i've come over here and tried to talk the nato countries into living up to their agreements a padded us on the head and said all well we're on track to try to do this or try to do that let me put it bluntly the problem is that many member states don't trust donald trump do this his commitment to nato why should they i mean he's done everything he could to undermine trust that he's 100 percent behind you no i haven't seen that clearly donald trump has shaken things up there's no question about it he's gotten off a bit more than that is not my only allies to sit up and take notice because he was
12:43 am
very concerned about the lack of of their burden sharing inside the alliance and he wanted allies to pay more in his inimitable way he got everybody to pay attention to the necessity of putting more money into their defense budgets chancellor angela merkel said last year that there were good reasons to continue fighting for the transatlantic relationship but we had it she added we can't count on it anymore. well i'm i'm sorry she feels like that we don't feel like that you know the house of representatives they had so little confidence in chumps intentions toward nato that last year they had to pass a law with bipartisan support stating that is u.s. policy to remain a member of nato predicating funs to be used to withdraw from the alliance so little pump didn't do they have in their president's commitment to nato her a i saw that as a great expression in washington of bipartisan support for nato and i saw it when we were there 10 days ago for the 70th anniversary nato is well supported across
12:44 am
both sides of the aisle that's a great thing why why are you going off isaac and not by the president there are $200.00 countries in the world right the vast majority of them believe that barack obama's brand of leadership was far better than either george bush is or down from you see the curve go like this under obama and then like this under from in europe and asia and latin america and africa and so we can talk about israel where president obama had very sharp differences with a right wing government led by bibi netanyahu but i don't think that it wasn't just it wasn't just the sharp differences there were deep contradictions in the middle east policy good well we i mean you have a whole belief in that you voted against the me. in israel this was rooted largely in the iran nuclear agreement and if we had to do it over again if the price of having a better relationship with israel was not having iran nuclear agreement and potentially going to war with iran that was not a price that we were going to pay all the latest polls show the french germans the
12:45 am
british now regard the us as a greater danger to their interests than china would you regard as your prime danger how much blame do you think washington should take for that. well. sometimes events drive us in a direction that we shouldn't be driven. we. we don't feel the same way about our european. friends or were more like kerry you know there are a lot of recriminations these days to get over iran. in regard to the round deal that europe continues to abide by surely one that you get out of well we didn't walk out of it the president states at that time barack obama entered into that agreement. over the objection of a lot of us it did not have the things in it that it needed to have and it was very weak it did indeed address one issue but i viewed the
12:46 am
iran. deal as a deal to try to discipline the bad boy in the classroom that was doing 5 bad things they addressed one of them but their interest the big one did they dress one of them a big one they have dressed one of them ben rhodes in the short time that we have left let's look ahead to the next presidential election next year. what kind of democratic party do you think is going to be capable of beating donald trump with his massive following his dominance of the airwaves is dominance of social media which proved so devastating in the last presidential election what kind of democratic victory is going to be able to i think contrast with the current but the massive following is 40 percent he is the most unpopular us president to run for reelection in my life he sets the news agenda very is it really well then doesn't they dominate in the areas that it takes a look at what has this got to live with the world as it is or doesn't check the
12:47 am
democratic party just routed down from republican party guy from the since he won 40 seats in the house yeah and won by the largest popular vote margin in the history of a midterm election the largest democratic victory in the house since watergate. voters in the european parliament elections have shaken out of a confidence politics turning away from the major power. plots that have dominated brussels in recent years and boosting the smaller groupings the greens the liberals and the far right apparently european voters weren't so keen on the status quo in the more do you accept a share of the blame for the for the 1st voter participation has been very very high historically 51 percent more or less in medium in and out of europe but they don't like the status quo i came out to say that but this is a german crowd is it legitimacy to european institutions shows that people start to understand how relevant to european union is and that it really affects their daily
12:48 am
life and they future their one mark and ability they want more transparency i think they will. ask much more participation for whoever is going around europe in the future that's a nice way of spinning it isn't that the top jobs were carved up in a kind of backroom stitch up that people were told wasn't going to happen again and it did it did despite all these promises why you let the voters than not i mean 1st of all why do you speak about the backroom deal i mean it was so transparent. and all the process of the names in the game i think it was very very true not at all into the outgoing commission president he called it not very transparent quite an indictment from the judge that wasn't it's true but i don't have to agree with him on this point i think it's not the best process but it's the process that this is in the treaties people are losing faith to leave here's the paradox isn't the highest level of support for membership since $983.00 but more than half the people
12:49 am
of europe think he is likely to collapse within a generation all the while for the 1st breath also the legacy is that our society is out of the chaos and implosion that unfortunately we have seen in the u.k. has been a vaccination rather than infection for the rest of europe we have seen so you should be stronger so as a result of that we have seen if i can finish my sentence to your a barometer country after country you're planning and popularity has increased even him hungary with a few exception of czech republic and we have seen one after the extreme right political parties dropping the agenda of leaving the european union and leaving the euro why all the doubts about whether the e.u. can actually stay together i mean spain's foreign minister years a barrel was asked the interview if it was so fragile europe was so fragile it could break up his comment was honestly yes honestly yes yes so europe has always
12:50 am
been growing start out of big crisis we were born out of the ashes of world war 2. and their reality is that is one of the best places in the world to live we never had it so good in europe voters are the they are very disappointed very disappointed and it was supposed to be about them you were seeing the turnout go down in every single election since the european elections started and this was the big push to rope more people in because they were going to be listened to and they weren't yes i mean the call it's a bit this is a big failure whichever way you like to spin it but it is a big factor i mean the publication of democracy representative democracy is what i'm talking about but the participation in the european elections has been raised also because of the better understanding of the citizens about the need of the because the expectation they might actually be listened to that's why they voted they were told it was going to be different let's just go back to europe and the new political landscape after the european elections e.f.t. is joining the. identity and democracy group which is going to be the 5th largest
12:51 am
group in the european parliament not the 3rd largest which is what you're aiming for your party promises to be a thorn in the flesh of the stuff what does that mean she's going to block and disrupt create trouble now what we're trying to get out is the message that we're in favor of the european union and that has been set up by the founding fathers of the your opinion we're against the f a closer union we want to keep the 7 serenity of the nation states what we think is that democracy only functions within a nation state and we want to work together where it is necessary to do so but we do not want to cling to move towards ever closer you know extreme right populist did not have. the earthquake they expected to have been actually have an earthquake of scandals and the liberal liberal conservative forces are stronger than
12:52 am
previously the greens advanced the socialist collapsed the extreme left lost almost 50 seats finance ago there was no far right at all was there so you hold the door open for them during the last 5 years i think this is not the time for blame game this is the time to stand for the truth isn't it time to look at what happened the achievements of the last 5 years back to will each passing day it's come to mean aboard this united kingdom and the more damaged weaker government the reason why was a very minor heart was never in the thing so you why you saw it as a current of damage limitation exercise so you say that she said she was quite concerned to leave a practice that she promised on innumerable occasions to deliver bread but she failed and in the end i'm afraid we'll have to fail well sure the party lost confidence in and so did the house of commons but there was a lot of ignorance on the leave side wasn't that i mean even among some of the most
12:53 am
visible campaigners like boris johnson for instance when he was questioned on t.v. last september turned out he didn't know that switzerland was in the single market and refused to accept it when he was told that was the trouble i'm not responsible for what policy is the we voted to let your living breaks it and you hear this sort of nonsense come out why don't you say this is wrong we're british people deserve the referendum result to be implemented this is the truth told them i something they deserve and they don't deserve a whole lot of m.p.'s who say they accept the referendum results and they are campaigning against it you happy that boris johnson being ordered to appear in court over claims that he lied during the referendum well over this 350000000 pounds a week to the well the person he's done his is an absolute on a minor and actually matter well yes of course it why it doesn't have a bearing on the. merits of the camel is up all senate well it does because clearly he's doing it from a particular perspective if the aim is to damage boris it will have precisely the
12:54 am
opposite effect i do advise our european partners not to overplay their hand what your negotiator seem to obsess about is that britain must appear to lose from this absolutely not i mean you have made it clear that leave leaving the e.u. is a mistake and that should become a self-fulfilling prophecy now now britain has to lose its loses britain has to lose i mean you played the part but that again is a lunacy i mean. no we just say that membership of the european union has benefits and of course if you're not member you don't enjoy those benefits it's not punishment it just statement of fact the is the largest trading group in the world they hold all the cards it's their club that you're leaving they will decide what rules apply should you wish to take advantage of some of the. privileges on offer. with that club i think but i thought we had in our manifesto 18 months or so ago it was that we wanted to create a comprehensive trading arrangement with some babe agreed on the use of commanded
12:55 am
every one of those would be japan i'd be quite happy just to replicate the terms of that you've been saying that no deal is increasingly attractive but that's not what you and your folk leave colleagues promise the country was it time and again they promised great deals with the e.u. and everyone else and said that they just fall into britain slapped and turned out to be not well. i have to confess that i think it's in the european union's interests to strike a sensible free trade deal with the united kingdom and whether we make that agreement before we leave which looks rather unlikely now or after we leave i believe that that's what will happen but in the end my point is the really broken promises were. that the vote leave campaign didn't make promises we were campaigning it's your presumption that there will be maybe a crash out without the deal but it's not said the deal is on the table in the u.k. and the next prime minister can still subscribe to it or make propositions how we
