have become too invasive. gripped by a protests and crisis nations forced to fend for themselves nowadays that's how some critics describe the current state of the e.u. artie's a laura met met one m.e.p. who says it's time to go back to the drawing board before it's too late. i'm talking to no good steve a member of the european parliament who thinks that the entire constructs of the european union is broken. thank you very much for talking to our team now first of all how do you characterize the relationship with the u.k. and they meant well it may not be really obvious to many people but we in the you know in the shared about seventy five percent of the vegetation that a person in the u.k. lives under or even in hungary oit's tobacco or literary isto deal. grab

in the u. so it's a very powerful. relationship which extraordinarily the people of europe which people of britain are totally unaware of i want to create a much more valid us an accountability between e.u. legislation which overrides national legislation and the people who are religious late fall but unfortunately that in britain the british media is totally. oblivious to what goes on in brussels i mean i asked my friends in the british media why don't you cover what's going on in brussels it's like watching paint dry so if they want excitement guards and circuses well they go to the house of commons but politics is not entertainment duties considered business of. how to govern the various interests and it is very sad really that

this relationship between the govern and the governors is so orpik in europe i think it's possible at this stage to then take that power and give it back to the individual countries but i think that'll happen in time because the construct which has been created the european union is getting increasingly are unmanageable. take for example we have created a foreign minister for the whole of europe who speaks with one voice for the whole of europe. but there's also going to be a foreign minister for twenty seven member states so how can you have one voice the state is william hague not to utter a word as a british foreign minister stumps of course not believe he goes set out his own stall his own policies and his own agenda and so will the polish quality restore

the left we had all of the historian or the little minion. and the hungry and salt so what are they to do are they going to be caught and let cathy ashton the i representative speak of that we are. they would not have views and there be a cacophony of be a tower of babel and the outside world we think will hey what are these guys doing or would we speak to so what's the point of it is it just his bureaucracy on top of your ocracy the point of a piece of that tried to create a country where the people who create in the country for have no more particular desire to have a country called europe created so the elites want a country called europe created and they're steamy on the head with it but the people not caring the people and one day there could be such a trainwreck. over this whole issue and when you start trying that what do you mean . it will stop functioning and then there will be

a slow or realisation that it stopped working and then really start working and the crisis comes like we have recently the financial crisis we saw there was no european response it was the germans barely out the greeks or somebody else coming in to bail out somebody else but it was not an e.u. thing and now we are told it's the chinese coming to bail out the greeks and save the euro zone west europe in all of this so there you are we are supposed to have created of this economic bloc a trading block a very powerful bloc well when there is a crisis it is individual member states who have to pick up the pieces and slowly beginning to dawn on their leads to run all this that this is not working is what we're saying now the beginning of the end of the year is saying i don't know. it

will be damaging either way because if the eurozone collapses it will damage our economy too because we trade with europe our currency is not that strong but if the european union's construct come apart then we need to be ready to pick up the pieces and run as we can in a more flexible fashion the regulation or burgling of khana me through legislation believed to find out what is what we should keep and what we should. it could could be possible because. the russell said to incapable of dealing with these problems so to go back to the mission said to be an angler merkel it would be a sucker seat would be david cameron it would be the spanish prime minister etc etc who will have to deal with the current crisis certainly not somebody in the

commission in brussels or in the hopes that you're involved with the e.u. as international development funds how efficient is the distribution of what must be a sizeable amount of money we are forcing all the time on public television that is wrought what we have to do is to do wealth creation if you're focusing on something called quality alleviation which means nothing to getting handouts if you think about wealth creation in reaction to creating a self-sustaining because china for example has taken three hundred million people out by creating wealth out of a poverty trap india is going along nicely too but there are pockets of this happening in africa. that he's. bigger all for a good price free enterprise and so on and that's what we should be focusing on how to create wealth not how to really be a party creating we're. in there because the u.k.

lots of money to belong to the european union including fines that are pays for things like not displaying the new flag on projects which have received funding where does that money go the european union budget is about one hundred and six hundred seven billion a lot of the money that the member states contribution goes to keeping a very inefficient agricultural sector going in europe about forty percent of it goes to their cultural budget. to subsidize. the unmentionable i don't think but i mean we have a subsidy which. allows greek tobacco farmers to grow tobacco and we have another unit that collects a ten bones it. yes. what's the solution then to that that seems to me an efficient distribution of

money. accountability i mean the parliament has for the last i think eleven years refused to sign off the. commission's accounts because every year about four billion get lost. we don't know it made oh really you don't always read and for a company that's absolutely unacceptable if you did a company would have the entire board resigning so we say we are not signing these accounts off every year the member states give another tranche of money to the commission because we don't receive taxes going to set rest taxes and collect the money and give it to the commission every sort of loose about five percent of the budget somewhere and there are quite of what you just said these clubs are great for parliament says we need a lot i mean these are. all taking is a bit. if you ask me what works well.

even the single market mechanisms are not working very well. because if there was a single market why are different parts of europe in different. rates of growth why east germany booming and spain in great difficulty it is a single market. which are just a comparative advantage and therefore you don't see that in the united states all you don't see that in india that. size is decaying and dying and in bad crop and mara growing you don't say oh california is doing very well but probably days down the drain. but in europe you say that so even the single market doesn't work well. that trying to construct is incapable of meeting the challenges of the twenty first century it was a construct constructed after the war churchill's empires of the mind in

a single european space. it was constructed to prevent ever again a major war in continental europe by locking in germany and france and all the other countries into a single space but to seeing with a set of values which have already. a pluralistic diverse but a culture to values that structure to see the end of soviet communism and the destruction of. soviet marxism. now it needs a new construct to be able to work in cooperation with russia one of our primary energy producers suppliers to work as a good neighbor in the areas adjoining our boundaries in

ukraine model roofs and so on. and we need that for a much longer flexible construct. which are enabled each of the member states to have. the freedom to maximize their opportunities with the emerging markets in china india russia. thank you very much thank. the clues a team to speak to the tom speech where rich academic life gives birth to innovative ideas. known largely goes to the area which together with boosting industrial development. offers to make

let's move on to the ice and in the only game in the case on wednesday will from feel the shirt sleeve a help sell about your life when for one that's struggling with a lower kind of a quiz nets alexander and checked. on the scoreboard for the just love because meant that when was the. fourth in the eastern conference with forty nine points. staying on the ice and we continue our series all through force featuring kontinental hockey league clubs and many experts used to call. as just a team of tough guys however recent results indicate they're doing their best to get rid of that reputation and robert are the new on has more. gloves off time to fight this used to be quite

a common way of settling scores for the most school region side beaches with many considering them as just a team of town guys although things seem to be changing with new coach and green azura still sitting at the very bottom of the cage stable but he does have already managed to claim victory schoolwork a chilled giants. and mental many of the boys that are off to all the team to play tough and physical shocking but not too far the rules give you a role to play to the limit but try not to let your teammates down getting a penalty that's what any plan must always keep in mind first of all we play for our friends who want to see their time win but not just to beat their opponents down. i may sound surprising after looking through an azhar was profiled during his in the chilled career the thirty six year old was considered the only russian in the league and a good one and that. as soon as it came to coaching reserve proved

a full a different the wall street since he's been here is he's a mass truck you're more disciplined. than i think you guys are all to. our off week or so when he first got there but. there's an adjustment period where guys had to land systems and then all kind of get accustomed to mine mates and you know his style of play and i think tankers proved to have done very well on the last six on americans he played in phoenix and i went there after him and. he is a lot of good things are said of the army played i played also played with my cousin in phoenix mr and man he had nothing but good things to say about magic well sure he's got a great reputation am here for the n.h.l. and in russia it's nice to be taught by a guy being played. the knowledge of the n.h.l. and russia develop myself to help me with five maple leaves in their roster made

i agree simon the right to lead is in two thousand and eight with the with the station of one of the in the elite top. still no rest put his head in hands in the cage chill moving he's still in shape. over some and soon became one of the team's leaders in scoring and assisting chris christie is probably showing his best hockey at present as he's just out of playing to his full potential he used to be one of the best tough guys in the unhide shell now he does it all he can score he can assist and of course he still gratifying even at the age of thirty eight he's still able to develop and get better you know if he does we'll have to overextend themselves to make the playoffs this season but it's not over to us. so we're as with every game with training session each of these guys just gets tougher. or tea
