well you know without t.v. that's happening now what the main stories we're covering south incumbent prime minister claims of victory cost of his first parliamentary vote since apparently do that and said three years ago but unprecedented the poverty corruption and exploited heavily of the body of a. new russian campaign turns to fortify images of substance abuse to battle the country's addiction problem deformed unborn babies children do it these are just some of the shocking seems needs to get the message

across. for the american activists accusing us of hypocrisy as washington demonstrably so it's good business of yours keeps its money on the complete among members many a huge amount he's been on death row for almost three decades and he said he's innocent. the european superstate was supposed to herald safety in numbers of critics say the grandiose schemes taken a number of its members to the brink of collapse don't go on to head of the e.u. referendum campaign the states are now better off out in in the. today i'm talking to john gaunt british media personality and head of the referendum campaign he's demanding that the british people should be allowed to vote on whether they want to remain members of the european union john conte thanks very much for talking to r.t. now first of all tell me a bit about the e.u.

referendum campaign is this is purely about getting our democratic right to have a vote because three leaders of promises that it was a labor party manifesto commitment by tony blair then gordon brown of course and then david cameron famously in oppositions gave a cast iron guarantee that he would have a referendum on the subject so once i realized it was vance i thought yeah hold on this is wrong and i do believe we've been denied our democratic right so that's why i'm involved in the you referendum campaign it would be costly to implement a referendum on being in e.u. i mean the u.k. is already a member of the european union isn't it better just to let sleeping dogs lie yes he would be costly but it's costly to be in it it's costing the british taxpayer forty eight million pound a day to be in the we've just given the island another seven billion pounds of our money saw another four hundred fifty million pounds in the budget increase it's

going to be even more than that search cost you already and anyway i'm not saying vote to get out what i'm saying is let's have the discussion you know on the b.b.c. and on programs like this you know the pros and cons of europe so that the british public can decide whether they want to be in need and i must stress i'm not and certainly this campaign isn't until european it's it is just saying let's have a vote let's have a democrat who are and i think democracy no matter what it costs it's a price worth paying but you say you're not telling people how to vote but surely the very fact that you want a referendum suggests that you're not happy with the status quo and therefore want out more or clearly clearly. the reason we want a referendum is because we want the british public to decide and i would i of course i personally will probably end up voting to come out but what i want more than that i don't want to have the big grownup debate about it i want the b.b.c. to fulfil its role to have both sides the argument properly discussed rather than just peddle as they have done for so many years the pro e.u.

line we need to have an honest grown up debate who knows i might change i may change my views i may begin to think the forty eight million pound a day would give you is good value a somewhat doubtful but i'm quite willing to find out what i just believe in democracy i'm a democrat and i believe you know i asked a straightforward question i'll ask anybody watching this program give me three good reasons why we shouldn't have a referendum now people could give me three good reasons why we should stay in the e.u. or three good reasons why we could should leave but i don't think people would come up with three good reasons why we shouldn't have a democratic vote on it well i'll give you one constitutional resent the lisbon treaty you said successive leaders have promised a referendum of course that's true but since the implementation of that has been cheating that's become rather moot point hasn't it do you think we missed the boat on a referendum no i don't i think gordon brown had absolutely no right to sign the lisbon treaty stroke constitution it was the same thing at the manifesto commitment by

labels to have a referendum on that they played with words david cameron played with words once he got into power he said oh no we cannot win now because he's pretty rotten for he could say he could have said yes we can't just what nick clegg wanted one of the straight in or out so no this is why our campaign is so simple it's a straight show we stayed well shall we go down the clash over punk rock song a group used to sing that's where we keep an eye on that so the man in the street can understand it we don't want to get carried away with this treaty that constitutional that discussion let's center on the basics. max should we be in this club or not you know with the e.u. so the euro crashing and burning at the moment there's never been a chime persons first to have this discussion arlen's in a lot of trouble at the moment in the e.u. and the i.m.f. have stepped tend to bail them out so early on and would be in a lot more trouble if they didn't have that kind of backup so isn't the e.u.

a force for good well let's not forget of course to referendum they were forced to vote again because they got the decision was the political elite know personally i don't think we should be bailing out ireland i mean that's my own personal view i thought it is ironic i was watching the budget this week an island there. up to a million euros and one percent four percent to seven hundred fifty thousand by their child benefit is crazy the amount they pay out in child benefit their corporation tax they keep it at twelve and a half percent no wonder countries a reader compares a relocated from germany from portugal from spain and from the united kingdom to ireland well how can you have monetary union if you haven't got every other form of union and political union in place the answer is you can't how can you tie the economy of greece to the economy of germany which is ludicrous to holding is a nonsense and the worst thing is we need the british people have never been given the chance to vote on it so i think ireland actually makes sure focus our minds

even more on whether we want to be in this club and it's ironic that we're not even in the euro zone and we have george osborne of course playing under seven billion pounds now of course that's to protect banks like the rollback of scotland but we've already bailed out the royal bank of scotland wants the british taxpayer and i'm no great union supporter normally but i actually agree with people on board pro at the moment using charge of the. union the trade drug trade drives the train workers union when he says it's not his members who got us into this mess it's the bankers and politicians are the larger you know but it's his members who are paying for. just like the students who are protesting it's them who ended up having to pay for it is what know we taxpayers and we've already bailed out of the us once and lloyds bank now we're bailing them out again effectively by the back door of ireland and the british people haven't been asked about this you know david cameron came to power i mean we're going to ring fence the n.h.s. and we're going to ring fence for

a night but he didn't just ring fence for eight he's increase foreign aid we've now bought out island he also unfocussed our contribution to europe and we increased it of course went to brussels bragged that he was going to keep the budget down actually increased the budget that was no. how to bag swinging victory for the united kingdom it was a dismal failure and people should say and he's spinning it him and clegg at the moment got more spin than a washing machine assembly line and the british people are waking up to this in the british people are saying no we can't afford we can't pay we won't pay that's what the student protests are about and we're going to see more protests during this winter of discontent because ordinary folk who say why should we lose forty thousand police officers why should public sector workers be losing their jobs why should me along with meals on wheels because why should help for the elderly because why should the arts budget because why should we not have enough money in our coffers but we certainly can find seven billion pounds there'd be no need for

these cuts what's the economists argue if we weren't in the so there will be no need for the students to be protesting and that's what needs to be discussed and we are seeing lots of protests they started off in continental europe and they've now undoubtedly spreads the k. do you see this as the sort of beginning of the end of the e.u. i certainly think the euro is crashing and burning our belief portugal will go spain will dollars in spending just true three weeks ago to a lot of radio shows over by the swines and sways of council not so it's not council housing estates with brand new houses and apartments completely empty just like in ireland there never. going to be occupied. boom fueled by a reckless lending again i believe that they'll crash i think we need you when the euro begin to crash then you have to ask yourself can the euro so when the euro collapses can the you survive as well and as you say to the right across europe i mean you know in germany now people are protesting they don't want to bail out these countries that they've that had

a sensible banking system and the great irony was in brussels two months ago in brussels they were discussing the budget they were discussing the hospitality budget they put it up to two point one million pounds meanwhile one hundred thousand europeans are on the streets all different languages order from nationalities protesting about the austerity cuts one hundred thousand people inside they were basically voted to increase their budget for oysters and champagne that's what's wrong there's a disconnect between the political elite not just in the united kingdom but right across europe and the ordinary man and woman in the street and i think ordinary men and women have had enough they're the ones losing their houses they're the ones losing their jobs through no fault of their own and something's got to give and i think what's going to give is definitely the euro and probably the and in a what lot of ways bring it on say i but first and foremost let's have a democratic vote be much better for us to have a vote and decide we want to leave this before it collapses with people on the streets demonstrating what really amounts to civil unrest is this really the time

to be talking about something like an e.u. referendum which seems like a separate issue in the face of all this trouble that with thing you can't really discuss our economy you can't discuss our laws you can't discuss our human rights you can't discuss any kind of cases that are going in the u.k. without thinking either of the e.u. or the your pm court of human rights it affects every aspect of our lives because we are part of it we were never given the chance to vote on it that's why it's becoming a hot potato and this lie that they're spinning in a nick clegg and david cameron we're all in this together well actually we're not because nineteen out of twenty four. all of the cabinet a multi millionaire and briefly about the students do you support what the students are doing in terms of going out onto the streets burning stuff throwing things but our support students completely in their right to protest today in the daily telegraph front page the metropolitan police chief are saying don't let you choose children go on these protests what a load of nonsense i don't live in a country where our chief of police told you to come protest me called of course

you call confronted send throwing extinguishers i threw she could've killed somebody however on the same token they got carried away i do think you tried the protesting i do think you tried the union doing it and i do fully support the protests i don't support or calm down the violence and i fully support students and i hope the protests escalate. and i think they will run the machine protests this week for example i've been in the city sit ins and stuff i hope they do it's great to see students protest against the silly healthy about young people being angry now that the coalition governments approved these cuts in student funding what the students and the trade unions and others who might join with them going to do now but that was really going to happen is come january thirty first into february because what's going to happen is christmas so traditionally british people are going to still celebrate christmas they're still going to buy their children christmas from john a thirty first february first on the tool. for the credit card

people will be beginning to lose their jobs people have been living this proof for this on their credit cards to pay their mortgages they're going to start defaulting that's when the real purchase of them stop parliament and think it's over it isn't over it's certainly isn't over and the debate about europe is definitely not over and about the that will continue don't go on thank you.

conference made is just couldn't find the goal teams and then the first period tied at zero on the home side were made to pay for their wastefulness in front of goal just thirty six seconds into the second period. sasco would take me very much against run a plane thanks to these passions trying it wouldn't take long for the numbers drawn level despite being short handed and exceed the short managed to scrape the length of the ring to not accounting managed to get the puck past a bunny kids a second time it's just a minute late have a blown one to take it deserved leave justice ace cause power play was coming to an end to this kind of meet the penalty box and he got on the end of an excellent pos before leaving the goaltender for the day and made it to one did on a one finish the made everyone made way pretty second on the powerplay for the shots extra first boss final so you all he was away for the simplest of chance to score it doesn't happen so so often. i think it helped us and

it helped them because our confidence went up and of course it was. hard for them so maybe that was the most important game most important time in the game and yet we managed it there neither of them sign of a perfect opportunity to make a game save early in the first as they were awarded a penalty shots but this time the sun you couldn't get the puck possibly kids running his side in lifeline and sasco point to go back minutes later things to get money excellent rich shots which sailed over the vocals glove side the side of a grandstand finish the home side hold on for a deserved region win support of three boys together today and discuss a good d.m. but if they're pretty good to first birds on star pairs was very bad but they still want to get an important victory for the nama who are really starting to look strong contenders to win bases to govern come sandstone be hoping for much to improve two thousand and eleven and they'll need it be fun to think about making
