a divided nation. and american activists accused the u.s. of hypocrisy as washington demolish the release of political prisoners a brutal keeps its own under lock and key among them is. being on death row for almost three decades many say he's innocent. the european superstate was supposed to herald safety in numbers but critics say the grandiose scheme has taken a number of its members to the brink of collapse then go and head of the e.u. referendum campaign believes states are no better off out then in. today i'm talking to john gaunt british media personality and head of the e.u. 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 gordon 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 it 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 e.u. we've just given the island another seven billion pounds of our money for another four hundred fifty million pounds in the budget increase it's going to be even more

than that so it's costly 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 where there is 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 be a 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 why. 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 grown up 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 you 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. all three good reasons why we could should leave but i don't think people can come up with three good reasons why we shouldn't have a democratic vote on it well i'll give you one constitutional resented the lisbon treaty you said that successive leaders have promised a referendum of course that's true but since the implementation of that has been treated that's become rather moot point hasn't it do you think we missed the boat on a referendum no i don't 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 if we ratified he could say he could have said yes we can't just what nick clegg wanted to have a straight in or out so no this is why our campaign is so simple laura it's a straight show we stay well shall we go down the clash over punk rock song 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 discussion let's center on the basic facts. should we be in this club or not you know the e.u. so you are crashing and burning at the moment there's never been a chime persons first to have this discussion all ins and outs 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 oh that's not forget of course to referendum they were forced to vote again because they got the decision was the political elite know personally and i 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. 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 to keep it at twelve and a half percent no wonder countries a reader companies are 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 it's just 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 the 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 on the seven billion pounds now of course that's to protect banks like the roll back to scotland but we've already bailed out the world bank of scotland wants the british taxpayer and i'm no great union supporter normally but i actually agree with people on all pro at the moment use in charge of the. union the trade drug trade drugs and train workers union when he says it's not his members who got us into this mess is the bankers of the politicians or the larger issue but it's his members who are paying for it just like the. students who are protesting it's them who ended up having to pay for it the ordinary taxpayer and we've already bailed out r.b.s. 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 any economic issue we're going to ring fence the n.h.s. and we're going to ring fence four and i believe you just ring fence for eight he's

increased farai we've now bought out island he also written five star contribution to europe and we increased of course went to brag that he was going to keep the budget down actually increased the budget that was no. come back swinging victory for the united states look 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 meal on wheels on wheels be cut why should help for the elderly 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 of

economists argue if we weren't in the so there'd 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 go is inspiring just true three weeks ago or do a lot of radio shows over in spain there's swathes of swathes of council not so it's not council housing estates with brand new houses and apartments completely empty just like in ireland they're never going to be. occupied property boom fueled by a reckless lending again i believe that they'll crash i think we need you when the euro begins to crash then you have to ask yourself can the your oh so when the euro collapses calmly you survive as well and as you say you brought across europe i mean germany there are people protesting they don't want to bail out these countries that they've that had a sensible banking system of the great charlie was in brussels for 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 there 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 happening in the u.k. without thinking either of the e.u. or the your pm court of human rights in 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 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 tells you to come protest because of course you

can't condone it send throwing extinguishes off through she could kill somebody however the same token they got carried away i do think it's right there protesting i do think it's right the unions are joining them i do fully support their protest i don't support a calm down the violence and i fully support students and i hope the protests escalate and are simply wounding she protests this week for example have been university 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 celebrate christmas they're still going to bother children christmas for thirty first fabulous on the door mat before the credit card people will be beginning to lose

their jobs people have been living through for this on their credit cards to pay their mortgages they're going to start defaulting that's when the real protests are going to stop and parliament can think it's over it isn't over it certainly isn't over under debate about europe is definitely not over and about the view that will continue don't go on thank. you. this is a table from the u.s. embassy in colombo to talk about here an apparent june seventh incident of extrajudicial executions the military reported to the press that on that day that filled nine guerrillas in from the best occasion by instructs young could have you know and their strongly suggest however that the nine were executed by the army and then dressed in military fatigues.

i. explained how you know this kind of phenomenon where bodies are dressed up as guerrillas and presented as killed in action and this and this idea that you need to produce bodies actually encouraged paramilitary collaboration this is a cia document central intelligence agency they knew about these activities they knew they were happening they knew about links to paramilitary groups and yet usaid continued to flow.
