wealthy british style it's time to write. a book in. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy in these kinds of reports on our. morning news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world

has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing corporations are on the day. come tonight from the russian capital twenty four hours a day this is our ticket to have you with his top stories now this hour alleged a russian can run a victim who fights u.s. attempts to get him extradited from time and his lawyers plan to appeal any call decision that would see him ship to. war by other means a major u.s. media boss sounds the alarm over international broadcasters saying that america's main stream in the battle for the hearts and minds of the world. and anger in europe with fresh u.s. demands for data sharing critics in america is imposing on personal privacy is under the terms of fighting terms. i'll be back but not update for us and fifteen

years from now in the meantime is the euro on the brink of collapse and should be strong countries of the eurozone ditch the weaker once more and it's puts these questions to a member of the european parliament our special interview next. i'm talking to roger helmer who's a you're a skeptic member of the european parliament he's very eminent he opposed to further integration with the european union and also supports renegotiating many of the u.k.'s treaties with the right to have that thank you very much for talking to r.t. first of all how would you characterize the u.k.'s relationship with the. 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 had 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 resentments and on the other hand many people think you're 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 are 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 at this stage 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're now saying is well it's 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

a renegotiation 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 have an inner vote on the part of the people voted to stay in then i suppose the issue will 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 always interests me to meet 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 for chula 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 as you 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 clare 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 we have had in fact expressly since end to the year pair of estimation that any i believe was 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've followed the case of a couple of my constituents who have been appallingly badly treated absolutely with kid 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 a net 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 have 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 and rigor have separately found him not guilty this is just unjustifiable 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 masses 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 monetary 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 when 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 boat for union places like greece and italy and spain which have been entirely profit and of allowed their unit labor cost to run out of control cease to be competitive. those countries want to do that he will germany want to revalue within

a currency union they can't so either some of the peripheral club med 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 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 movement they're going to help desk problems it's a choice between two evils and i'm difficult 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 reshow jule it's called as much polite of them to fall but they have to do something like that but basically people let money 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 nine 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 golden 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 of ireland 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 to fall 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 aspiration of the people and eventually the aspiration and identity of the people reassert itself the soviet union lost of what's that about seventy years the european union has just lost 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 that 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 arland and greece want to have a thank you very much my pleasure. imagine

away matches dick out of a cats man will be eager 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 back home concern about out of r t moscow meanwhile english premier league side liverpool say they've agreed to sell the club to the owners of baseball team the boston red sox liverpool's board announced the sale to new england sports ventures on the club's website however they'll now face a legal battle to force through the south of the club's current owners tom hicks and george gillett the pair claimed the deal has dramatically undervalued the club after they put it on the market for five hundred fifty eight million dollars while they face in mid october deadline to settle refinance their four hundred forty five million dollars debt the world bank of scotland. tennis now and caroline wozniacki is just one win away from securing the well number one spot after beating italy

anniversary of russia's first rowing club has been held in some petersburg it was built by the british and as our correspondent richard van cortlandt found that relations between the two countries in the sporting field are still going strong. europe has played a crucial role in the cultural development of some petersburg over the last three hundred years italians took care of the architecture french was we our soccer seize language of choice the dutch gave the city's distinctive canals while the united kingdom helped set up the country's first ever rowing club one hundred fifty years ago but which unfortunately over time has fallen into a state of disrepair original one existed. in a couple hundred meters from this place. during the sea go for the second world war . the building. is much of. this here and the. one hundred. the russian only sport decided to initiate the

reconstruction of the school for union e killer the director of the russian army to rowing association this place has a special meaning she learned how to row here during his student days and personally wanted to restore the club to its former glory to help a new generation of to learn to sports. this idea came to us a long time ago because a lot of us used to train here and it was sad to see just how low the standard of rowing in russia had fallen to we all got together to see how we could try and restored the place and keep the tradition going ascent because burke has always had a number of places where people have pro. links in the field of rowing between russia and the u.k. still remain strong one hundred fifty years on five time a limp dick champions as steve redgrave has visited besides of a clubhouse has a distinctly british field so it's a technical and coaching expertise the u.k. is able to watch is likely to see among the improvement in the standard of

on for five ten some even longer. nice to fickle to break in. if people at the top the what happens is you slowly get your level everybody's level goes up by then the older people retire and the next level of their this is imperative given the current state of russian rowing the country is just one one gold of the last prelim big games and the prospects are looking good for london in less than two years time this is a far cry from fifty years ago when roman lympics proved to be one of the greatest moments in rowing not just for russia but also for some petersburg all living grand as it was known then twenty six people from just one club. came to their team and half of them were back with the medals so. probably hundreds of thousands of people went for on the good of time learning different of the city's old
