with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into a report on. time for the headlines now here on r.t. and alleged russian gun one of the boot fights u.s. attempts to get him extradited from thailand his lawyers plan to appeal any court decision to perceive him shipped out. war by other means it's a major us media boss sounds the alarm over international forecasters saying beating america's mainstream in the back of the hearts and minds of the war. in europe put fresh u.s. demands for data sharing critics say america is imposing on personal privacy issues under the preacher. fighting terror. well is the euro on the brink of collapse and

should the strong countries of the eurozone ditch the weaker ones artie's lower and it puts these questions now to a member of the european parliament stay with us. i'm talking to roger helma who's a you're a skeptic member of the european parliament he's very many opposed to further integration with the european union and also supports renegotiating many of the u.k.'s treaties with the right to have a thank you very much for talking to r.t. first of all how would you characterize the u.k.'s relationship with the e.u. there's a big question we have always been reluctant members of the european union when we joined it we were told that it was merely a trading operation we had a referendum i voted in favor if i'd known then what i know now i would have voted

against. but we have this unfortunate feeling that on the one hand we don't like it very much we resent when milton's on the other hand many people think it's a long way away it doesn't affect me very much so let them get on with it. in fact of course it does intimately affect the lives of all of us and huge swathes of policy areas have decided in brussels not decided in the u.k. in my view it is making us poorer and less democratic and less free and i believe we would be better off out and do you support this state a referendum on being and if it were possible well i think we should stall with the referendum that every major political party in britain promised us which is the referendum on the lisbon treaty what they are now saying is what has been ratified it's too late no it isn't too late we should have a referendum saying do you accept the terms of the lisbon treaty or do you wish the government to renegotiate those terms and that would give i'm sure we get to renegotiate that would give a british government a very strong position

a very strong mandate to renegotiate so that's what we want to do now the question that is also arising should we have a referendum in or out. i'm less clear there what the outcome would be. i think probably after a good campaign we would actually get an out vote but i'm less confident of it and of course if we had an inner vote on the part and the people voted to stay in then i suppose the issue would be off the agenda for twenty years so from my point of view that is a high risk route i would just like to see the referendum that we originally were promised it was interesting to me members of the european parliament who are opposed to the e.u. as a construct how does that work well i'm often asked that question and there's a sort of underlying assumption that if you take the brussels shilling then you're all there to support them and sadly that applies to too many people it applies to the great majority of any p's and virtually all the stall thirty all the

commissioners and so on i take the view that i'm not elected to support the european union and to promote it i'm elected to represent the interests of the people who voted for me and i recall that in the last election in two thousand and nine. a majority of voters in my region and nationally i think supported broadly euro skeptic parties or at least they believed that the conservative party was euro skeptic which brings us to the issue that in terms of the coalition government it's really failing to deliver on that expectation prime minister david cameron's position is here a skeptic didn't seem to be any doubt before he came to power that now it doesn't seem to be say claire i think it's tragic something that my colleague dan hannan points out is that the higher people climb up the greasy pole the more sympathetic they become to large centers of power like the european union william hague he had a reputation as a clear principled euro skeptic i had great confidence in him it seems to me now

that he's shifted his position he's trends that he's sort of prepared to accommodate he's prepared to come up with a few euro skeptic quotes from time to time but but actually we've accepted regular regulation of the city of london we've accepted the. matic service we've accepted the investigation order we are passing powers to brussels arguably more quickly than the previous labor government did and i personally am deeply unhappy with that and william hague in fact expressly into the air pair of estimation that any i believe is treason may have actually signed it off but it was an unforced error we didn't have to we could simply have said no we could have introduced as with the european arrest warrant we could have introduced national protections and safeguards in the way that some of the member states have we just seem to roll over and play dead something like thirteen hundred i think british citizens were sent abroad under the european arrest warrant last year that's more than half of all the

cases in the whole of the european union i followed the case of a couple of my constituents who have been appallingly badly treated absolutely wicked the freedoms that we used to believe were inherent to english men and women have just been taken away from us so i think that the airplane investigation ought to and arrest warrant to something which is something which enables europe wide investigations to take place against criminals and potentially against terrorists that's got to be a good thing as that it's intended to do that but what it does is it sets aside all of the safeguards and checks and balances that we normally associate with the extradition of criminals of course we know several agents to extradite criminals and terrorists and we had those and they do take time because the safeguards take time but it's right that they should it is not right that innocent citizens should be sent abroad held in jail as in the case of my constituents for nearly three months tried acquitted then recalled because the prosecutor is appealing against

the acquittal and now recalled for a third time one of them has been acquitted twice and is told he must go back again for a formal judicial process to confirm the acquittal for heaven's sake this man has had two years of his life ruined. despite the fact that two courts in rico because in regard to courts in riga have separately found him not guilty this is just unjustified treatment of british citizens let's talk about what's happening in europe at the moment recently we've seen a rise in protests against austerity mass what do you see that going forwards well i could see a long period all quite serious process and on rest. but the political and broader economic questions are really very interesting we're seeing that the german people are becoming streamlet reluctant to be the bankers of last resort for the euro zone germans who retire it is it sixty five don't want to keep

paying money to greece where they retire at fifty eight in order to maintain a mediterranean lifestyle so there's deep unhappiness. i think it comes down to the issue of the euro currency we euro skeptics have always said that the euro or the euro currency couldn't work because you had disparate economies with different economic cycles they can't all have the same military policy and therefore they can't all have the same currency and frankly for best part of ten years the euro seemed to work sort of all right and people say well you predicted all these disasters nothing's going wrong well no it has and this is exactly what we expected you simply cannot have germany on the one hand which has been extremely careful with inflation and wage rates and all those things in the same moment for union places like greece and italy and spain which have been entirely prophethood and of allowed their unit labor cost to run out of control ceased to be competitive. those countries want to devalue or germany want to revalue within a currency union they can't so either some of the peripheral countries are going to

have to peel off at the bottom or germany is going to have to get out at the top you could have a currency union probably of germany the bene locks for all. but the moment you put in all these other countries it just isn't going to work what's the solution that recently a european central bank has said that countries opting out of the year is saying would be committing economic and political suicide wouldn't be tantamount to suicide but they face a very hard choice because staying in they're going to have the most desperate. getting out of the first world that they're going to help desk problems it's a choice between two evils and difficult me to say which is the greater evil but in a sense they don't they may not have a choice because the bond markets may decide for them. and i personally think that a country like greece would go through a period of desperate pain if they left they would certainly have to default or

it's called as much polite of the default but they have to do something like that but basically people have lent money to greece would have to take a haircut and probably quite a substantial haircut but that's roughly what happened to argentina or whatever it was the one hundred ninety. and it's terrible at the time but the country comes through and actually it's much better off afterwards it's just like when britain left the exchange rate mechanism you know it was called black wednesday suddenly in retrospect we realize it was goldman wednesday because we had a long period of sustained economic growth because we got our currency back to the right level that's what greece needs that's what spain needs violin needs. but they also committed politically emotionally psychologically to the euro project but they they dare not bring themselves to make that leap they may be forced to make it by the markets and when they do that i think will be the point at which the european union. it starts to unravel because they've invested so much sort of like the lord of the rings you know all the power is in the ring and when the rings dissolved

it's gone all the economic and political motivation of the european project comes to a central point in the single currency when the single currency starts to break up calls big questions to be asked about the about the viability of the union so you see this affecting the economic and political union as a whole yes i don't think the european union can last forever i i like to compare it to the u.s.s.r. we didn't do a comparison too far but there are a lot of factors essentially both the u.s.s.r. and the european union have decided to create structures that ignore the identity and aspirations of the people and eventually the aspiration and identity of the people reassert itself the soviet union lasted what's that about seventy years the european union has just lost it about fifty years. and i wouldn't be at all surprised to see the same pattern i think in twenty years time there may be something that's called a european union but i think it will look very different and be much less into influential than it is today and yet becoming a member of the euro is

a is still something that countries aspire to estonia well become a member in january yes i think it's only is very unwise to do that. i could see a case for a baltic currency union i mean there was one half million people that's very very small country to have its own independent currency although quite small countries like singapore and switzerland have independent currencies and redraw the world with them but there is a case there will be case for baltic union there is not a case for a stone in my view being in the same currency union with germany aren't in greece want to have a thank you very much my pleasure. imagine your life under the big city. eco friendly.

their passion of fans in what's likely to be a sellout encounter little of just know that i haven't seen lots of matches of all and for the past few years but i know that all the key players like shay given robbie keane damien duff and aiden mcgeady are all in the squad and about their play i would say that you can see the results of giovanni trapattoni is work with his team he's a very experienced an emotional manager and you can see that the irish play with the hard dick advocates chargers have already three some trouble because of injuries. of tottenham hotspur who probably missed the match against ireland as well as a looks on their kids record from senate who has a return to the national side but if you reckon fever has recovered from his injury and his feet to play so russia getting last minute preparations ahead of their two away mattress dick advocates man will be good to prove that a home was to slovakia was nothing more than a blip however it is going to be a challenge as anything other than all six points will be seen as a failure become concern about out of. moscow stay with forward because english

premier league side liverpool f.c. said it has agreed to be sold to the owners of the boston red sox however liverpool's board announced the sale on its website to new england sports ventures but they will face a legal battle to force through the sale of the club's current owners tom hicks and george gillette they claim that they has dramatically undervalued the club after the pair had put it on the market for five hundred fifty eight million dollars i'm facing a big deadline to sell or refinance their four hundred forty five million dollars debt to the royal bank of scotland. now the news metal magnitogorsk have kept up their winning start to the new k h l c eight for them against their thinking week last night for three final form regulation time in that one magnitogorsk have the best record in the k.h. at the moment with only one defeat in contrast to sky can't seem to get their season going another defeat for them this time against haven't got. up to six you

i was anxious to get back on course. to be would be back on the court. was great constitution from. was also. a newsgroup a reason i would give him the same you should begin. now the preseason has taken l.a. lakers to spain where they will play barcelona tomorrow these games are part of the n.b.a. pre-season you're a pain to see the timberwolves play the new york knicks in paris tonight but as far as the lakers are concerned they want to balance back from a disappointing hundred eleven to defeat the minnesota timberwolves in london earlier in the wake and looking forward to their chance and the spirit. knows it's a totally different just a body day at least you know our bitch birds of a bit in the n.b.a. you know most. play in a preseason game you know you played other n.b.a.

teams and so you know to be an experience like no other. you know plan against f.c. barcelona here in barcelona. you know for me to be the closest to libya experienced it other than mark arrear i think it'll be a lot of fun this will be a lot of energy in the city that athletics at the commonwealth games are going ahead a shared jewel today despite earlier phase the track at the main stadium in delhi would not be ready in time organizers say the track had been completed and all systems are there for avoiding another big embarrassment for the gangs plus an additional fifty thousand tickets for events will sell gas today after complaints many stadia were empty. and as a title they were going to die straight at the start of today they had a total of nine goals but they don't have a ruler and why the pool bookies will chanting mean uncalled for the commonwealth record in the men's fifteen at the backstroke of the lace to pick it gave the aussies gold in the blues event and in the velodrome things are going well for

straight in thinking it. means anti-racism limping chante enemies taking the fight to toddle off for some men one for the understudy have also kind of been in the band for a full time. and will stay on the map because the latest leg of the sambo world cup has been held in moscow and while they may be battered and bruised it is still team russia to maintain that position at the summit robert the done in took up his st louis what. some will or sell distance without weapons martial art combining the most effective combo techniques like judo karada and a great deal of different resting styles in a sport which is still striving to become an olympic one doing men developed in the one nine hundred twenty s. in the soviet army it's been gradually getting people who are already over the globe the leave this world cup has just been held in most school with. over three hundred athletes from twenty five countries settling scores on the met with the

tournament is held right on the eve of the world championships which will take place in tosh canst the capital of was back istana this time around so most of the national teams here are represented by their leading athletes who are fine tuning their form this makes the tournament one of the most competitive events in the international calendar. and in the longest traditions sports team russia and any event as favorites the stern was no different as a number of deciders turned out to be all russian finals including the one hundred kilogram clash between the school of and the jonas bengal. and two time european built holder versus another year a winner and it certainly grabbed the fence attention with the rivalry being extremely close in the school of press the judges just that little bit more than annoying the level of the competition is very high so i didn't set out soley to win

gold i was simply attempting to do as well as possible and test myself in the one hundred kilo all the belts were very tough and as for the final are telling myself i know each other pretty well when we meet we call it the bone to bone fight meaning to opponents who are equal and it was only tactics which gave me the edge in this one of those i would go from turns into eye catching in a move back matt action when it comes to women's fights in nearly flawless on bourse mission that's the way rush is on overcame hope on and from bulgaria maria. it's been a tough and very long awaited victory for me i have finally beat her and being on home soil definitely helped me when. medals was the hardest russian somewhat practitioners collected at the two thousand and nine world finals in greece and it would take a brave person to bet against them up in the telly next. report for the neon
