you know ordinary people shouldn't be the ones who have to suffer these process it's a saying that actually cuts in danger. what looks to be a fragile recovery and some of the economies in europe they're arguing that actually a better way to go would be tax increases on hiring come groups and also investing in public services and jobs rather than cutting them in this way david campbell banner man a member of the european parliament from the u.k. independence party believes the single european currency is a key factor by the current economic turmoil i think the euro is teetering on the edge this is a manifestation of it this is a massive problem and you can throw hundreds of billions out it is they're trying to do but it's beyond that no i mean the real underlying problem is you're trying to force together all these different types of column is some a doing very well others a very weak and you cannot force them together under one common currency call the euro the euros the problem it's just unsustainable this is

a say you know they're throwing hundreds of billions of euros out to you and the germans are paying through the nose and you know the majority of germans now want to leave the euro and that's conceivable that we recreate all the national currency is for certain strong currency is leave or that we currently one or the other stay with us here on r t still ahead the land is not for sale that's a message from many indian farmers who are protesting and even dying to protect the source of income all the details coming your way. first though the ousted mayor of moscow says he won't make any legal challenge to the decision to fire him but will continue to take part in political life this follows reports a uni luzhkov was considering appealing the decision at the russian supreme court. has the latest details. speaking for the first time to the media since being sacked you said that he was not planning to challenge the president's decision to take him

you very much for joining us. with. recently we've been witnessing a lot of guerrilla warfare you have poorly trained and you have. a lot of problems. ready to respond to such threats what way all of us have to

doubt. to the changing nature of conflict you know after the berlin wall came down and the cold war was over the number of conflicts in the world went down by percent heathy percent so we live in a much better world today but the nature of conflict has changed there are fewer casualties is that at the same time it's more difficult to deal with you know we didn't have suicide. the cold war we have that now so it's clear to thank you for it so our armed forces have got to be modernized they need to be more flexible they need to be more maneuverable they need to go a long distances here they have to be highly skilled and they have to use the most technologically advanced equipment but instead of both sides both a nato and russia we're investing in the equipment of the cold war huge time is big for missions you know the wrong type of people we wish to tax payers money on the

wrong weapons were fated the last war and not the next conflict so we've got to adapt nato has to adapt russia has to adapt in order to be able to confront those new challenges of the threats to our security i talking about more modern weapons versus that's when the guerrilla we're talking a guerrilla warfare they're not using very highly advanced weapons themselves well there's other more primitive than a suicide bomber and individual who strap some explosive device to to themselves and blows themselves up themselves up as well as others of the company or this is you know this is almost new it has happened in the past but never on the sun and on the scale so we are going to be in of it in the we we think about these things to the as a political say to this others a military side of this so that means adaptation innovation cooperation and it

means cooperation among all of those crisp people along. to be affected by modern warfare and too much of a tie at the present moment just take it all worth son took three it's ancient and ghosts of ancient conflicts and people here talking about nature and some common you know of course need to fantasy it is a fantasy and we have people in the way still russia. russia russia wants to rule the world look at what catherine the great say you know i can only secure my thirty years by expanding catherine the game is big court is today more fun to see and hear if you go to talk to people in the streets they say we're worried about migration we wanted to vote with the piracy on the high seas were worried about our jobs our pensions because of economic instability we've got to

focus people who are concerned with and start working together to deal with these problems well it's interesting that you bring up the different problems of your sense of who is nato's enemy because international terrorism first doesn't sound very convincing as you rightly brought up there are other issues that people are concerned with so who is nato as enemy. is instability it's what will turn of this it's the people who are on the insurgents it's it's all of that exactly the same with russia's enemy is you know i've had the greatest and most successful defense ryans of the world has ever know nato. and it has been it has been useful but it has survived and thrived because it wasn't just a military organization it was an alliance of values a belief in democracy a belief in people choosing their own government of freedom before the war good neighborly relations good internal polish all of these things these are values here

we need to together. these. needs to be part of that community of values sure that we know what we're defending but one of the country that sort of creating a bit of instability in that at least in the minds of western countries would be iran and now to two years ago at the pentagon has has been reported to be developing plans of attacking iran how realistic is that but i think everyone goes in option quantity from the lowest the highest level you know that's that's natural because iran is not a normal country seeking to acquire nuclear weapons and iran is a country whose president really said it wants to wipe one of its neighbors all summer so you can't talk about iran in terms of just a country developing and you could tell it's a danger to its neighbors and indeed as it develops a long range missiles to

a much greater way really a sideway when i go to moscow i find people in most school even more concerned that the americans are about a nuclear iran because iran and terrified of the missile sites they're much course to the russian border than they are to the american border so the rhetoric might be different but we have all got a common interest in helping the people of iran to escape this dispute dictatorship to the start and to stall iran become a menace in the most volatile region of the world iran is no more a fundamentalist the people should be seated the least demonstrations of the people the people of iran want to be free they're able to demonstrate where they have been who through is through the crest of the moment but you know this is more a holistic picture and i think we need to be more sympathetic to the new cornish

decent peace loving people in iran and encourage them to stand up to. those who would drop press them and seek to destabilize the region. that would mean leadership. leadership is of huge importance in the world today i'm not a leader of any war i'm an ex. but there are people who must carry on the torch of leadership of the world and recognize what people are concerned about and whoa whoa we need to find the new tools to be able to deal with these concerns if we go. preoccupied with the ghosts of the past then we miss the opportunity of doing something good and we take our people and in danger because we've taken our eye off the real target all right thank you very much for your time pleasure.
