now with our top stories tropical trouble and exotic mosquito borne diseases in the wake of the summer precedented heat wave. my mind was what were we supposed to secret cia report on perceptions of the you was as an exporter of terrorism. adrenaline rush rush and you are turning to a new extreme activity known as trains serving for a cheap thrill. and outcast lovers a growing number of young couples in india are facing their families and communities anger for choosing to marry outside the traditional caste system. the e.u. is a colonial and highly bureaucratic regime and it's not a structure of the u.k. should be part of that's the view of dr batten our european parliament member are more adamant spoke with him in london.

today i'm talking to gerald batson who's a member of the european parliament for london he's with the u.k. independence party which is a euro skeptic party and he's recently announced his intention to stand for leadership of ukip thanks very much for talking to r.t. you're welcome just what you won't write one small point in your introduction you describe this as a euro skeptic party that's not true skepticism implies some doubt we have absolutely no doubt we're one hundred percent membership of the european union is bad for britain so we're not skeptical about that and no disbelief in the fact that the european union actually exists or we believe it exists i mean we're skeptical about lot of that but as far as the european union exists and it's bad and there is no. members mind that that's the case and tell me about the platform on which you're standing for leadership. decided to run again because first of all of a quite a lot of people ring me some e-mail messages asking me to run again i came second in the election. last year and my platform is that i want you kit to go forward as

a radical alternative to the kind of cross party consensus that we've got in this country from labor conservatively and very much now with a coalition government that they're quite happy to see this country become nothing more than a colony of the european union so i want radical policies. this is why i represented the members last time i got twenty six percent of the vote nothing i can do a lot better this time and one of the key tenets of your opposition to your opinion well first of all it's it's an economic and democratic disaster first of all there is no reason for the european union i mean the white soul was sold to people forty years ago and has been ever since is that we must have it for try and jobs we don't need it for trade and jobs even the even the european union is back down from what we need is trade with europe and the rest of the world friendship and cooperation we don't need to be members of this vast bureaucratic organization in order to achieve that the other thing is the loss of democracy which although membership

leaves cost us billions of pounds every year which is wasted money what's actually worse than that is our loss of democracy the germans calculated in two thousand and six that about eighty three percent of new laws now come from the european union not from their. parliament and in this report i question whether germany could be really be called a functioning democracy and more because of this fact it's equally true for the u.k. a similar time that qatar the country eighty four percent of our laws now come from the institutions of the e.u. which is not democratic so how can we be a democracy and as you know i've been involved in things like the integration of the legal systems and the european arrest warrant we're losing our most basic protections under the law against unjust imprisonment and arrest all kinds of things are happening now which are totally insupportable in my view and the european union has its mission to become a super state to rival united states and i think it's a very wrong road for us. to go down in britain should leave as soon as possible

and we are living in a globalized world there is it possible for the u.k. to just step out it but what does that mean what are the global laws will means in the early nineteenth century we actually exported more goods around the world than we do to die there was international trade then that's nothing new that's always been going on it's much easier to get on an airplane now and go anywhere you like very quickly which is one of the reasons we have such a problem with uncontrolled immigration that kind of globalization it's a reality that doesn't mean to side that you have to sacrifice your independence and so government governance in the modern world in fact quite the opposite i think the problem with the modern world is that people are losing their control over their elected representatives and their governments and we're becoming less democratic i think necessarily a bad thing and in terms of the u.k.'s economy could we afford to leave the european union but we're not a small country in economic terms i think we've come down the table a bit but not that long ago we were the fourth largest economy in the world i think we come down to fifth or sixth now because france is going to china is coming way

up early but we're a very big economy both in terms of of our gross domestic product the overall size of the economy and with still one of the world's chief exports of goods and services and we're the world's biggest financial capital so we're not a small country and even if we were there are small countries like norway and switzerland which have a higher per capita wealth an income which are not members of the european union than the countries that are if i look you know singapore japan america i don't need to be members of the in order to try to be wealthy so why should we the european union is built on a number of completely false premises about why it should exist which are easily demolished you have said in the past that the e.u. is an illegal state can you explain what you meant by that yes because under the lisbon treaty it basically became the constitution of the european union now another change the name it was called the constitution but it's ninety nine point nine percent the same as the old constitute. we have

a constitution in this country written down in different places like for example the sixty nine hundred nine bill of rights which says that they solve is the is the font of all power and the sovereign cannot acknowledge a higher power and i will you're a monarchist or republican it doesn't matter that's our constitution what we did with the with the with the lisbon treaty is we acknowledged the officially a higher authority the union for example now has a legal personality has only come by treaties on its own so that in fact means that in britain we are living under any legally constituted government and as far as the rest of europe is concerned it's illegal in my view because they didn't ask the people of europe whether they want to or not because when they had referenda on the old constitution lost them in france and holland the only country that voted for the ones that you know so much of the e.u. budget they didn't want to risk leaving so my view were living in a completely illegally constituted state in britain the constant the constitution of europe on the lisbon treaty is illegal and this is

a very dangerous road to gold. one of your former colleagues has accused the coalition that you belong to in the european union of harboring extremist views what you keep doing to make sure that these don't have a place in the twenty first century in the group that we sit in the freedom democracy and in the previous one that we've seen independence democracy grow it's part of our constitution that we have a very simple constitution which says that we are a non-racist nonsectarian the organization so that's covered i mean you're sick we're sitting in a group purely for procedural purposes the only thing that you know it's that group is a belief that the whole system has gone too far we would draw lists of the people at your tally and the reformers. so we cover a wide wide brief that everybody votes according to their own consciences we wouldn't sit in a group with people who like the b.m.p. for example would touch them with a ten foot pole but i think it is a gross exaggeration to say that we've got extremists you know in our group because

let's say certain members of their party back said something which you know our former member doesn't approve of every party in every country has got people excited stupid things at certain times so i think that's an unfounded allegation at the same time the u.k. in certain quarters is accused of fanning the flames of nationalism i'm thinking particularly of your invitation to a dutch politician to come to london which caused quite a lot of trouble in the streets during his visit what do you say to those claims when nation is we believe in the nation we believe in the democratic sovereign state is the best way to govern in a country in a country that wants to be a country you know united kingdom is is not is three different countries in a northern ireland actually want to be part of a union and more people want it works and other countries have a different basis of what constitutes a nation as for good will that he didn't cause any trouble at all will this is a democratic politician democratically elected who is not an extremist if you

actually bother to look he's actually defending liberal democracy or. against extremist the people who are causing the trouble outside of the house of commons i went outside of pittsburgh i had lunch with mr williams and all the people with the extreme left who were both verbal e attacking the english defense league who had nothing to do with what will resign other who are on the other side of the street so as usual it was the extreme left who was stirring up the trouble and trying to cause violence and confrontation and you know some unscrupulous commentators then accuse mr willis of of extreme which is totally untrue i've met mr was on a number of occasions i wouldn't have anything to do with him if i thought he was an extremist but i think he's actually a heroic person but at the risk of his own life he lives under twenty four hour police protection i went out for the for dinner with him in and we had four armed police officers sitting that's the next table and why is that it's because he's trying to defend the democratic liberal values of western society against islamic

fundamentalist extremists who want to overthrow that and introduce sharia law and islamic fundamentalism in western countries you know you kipps party spokesman on immigration what's your view on a cap on emigration it's nikkei immigration into our country has been out of control for a very long time now purely on the numbers by says we are one of the most about the most densely populated country in europe i think slightly behind holland and you can take more drugs it's a special case we are one of the most densely populated countries in the world if you actually look on a league table and yet our population is set to grow from sixty two million currently up to seventy million within the next twenty odd years and thereafter up to eighty eighty five million exponentially it is absolutely absurd to have effectively unlimited and uncontrolled immigration into this country we have anyway from within the european union where we can't stop people coming even wanted to and we don't really control it from outside either so yes you have to have very strict

controls the time has come to say this we need an end to immigration mass. we need controlled immigration on a very limited level and only where it benefits britain its people and its economy a recent report showing that with a cap on immigration british companies might find themselves sort of workers particularly as some immigrant workers are more highly skilled than that but his counterparts what do you say to that oh yes i mean i know quite a lot of foreign people especially me come to work at the harley qualify they got a great work ethic they're lovely people but if you look at the number of jobs created in the economy ninety eight percent of the jobs created since labor came to power in ninety seven up until last year went to migrant labor now how does it benefit your economy to create jobs ninety eight percent of them go to people you know who are moderates you increase the overall gross domestic product of a country but you're actually driving down the wages of the indigenous workers

because people are coming in and working for lower wages so you drive the overall. wages down for indigenous people you poor housing prices up so everybody is actually worse off in the long run and of course big business loves. immigration because they get cheap labor that's what they want so i don't have anything against people who want to come here and better their lives i fully understand why they want to do that but it doesn't benefit the british economy or the british people to have this kind of immigration what we would introduce would be. very very limited immigration for permanent settlement and i've suggested a figure of no more than fifty thousand a year and even that could be revised downwards but people could still still come to work on a job permit basis for one to three years if we can't fill that post with an indigenous work and at the end of that process if the person wanted to become a british citizen right would have a right to apply for citizenship on the very on the you know the annual limit that we would allow in for that purpose care about and thank you very much.
