i'm talking to david campbell bottom and the deputy needs of the euro skeptic political policy ukip he's at the forefront of the campaign against what he calls the european superstate mr campbell brown and thanks very much for talking to r.t. if you compare the european union to the former yugoslavia where do you think the similarities lie i think what it's about is actually trying to force a very different countries together very different economies together under one state to state effectively the united states of europe with quite an element the soviet union to it i am a member of european parliament but i think european parliament is not a true parliament is a bit like a supreme soviet or as bad as the former soviet union but. elements all of this so there are parallels with yugoslavia i'm afraid but it is extremely

dangerous as we've seen with the euro to force such divergent nations together i think the tensions you create economic and political opera found the dangerous but surely you're not predicting that the will end in a bloody concert. i certainly hope not but you know i've been involved in the peace process in northern ireland i worked in government and i've seen what happens when democracy fails and i believe democracy is failing in the european union because national sensitivities are being overridden we saw it in our learned how they said no to those in treaty and then they were invited to get the right answer and they had to have another referendum and they said yes look at the mess that is now in but effectively it's a contempt for democracy that worries me most you know we are democratic party in ukip and the real reason for being there real concern is the lack of democracy at the heart of european union two thousand and ten saw you. as an economic bloc my

difficulty let's look forward to the future what are you seeing this year in two thousand and eleven i think person i think the euro will collapse and soon i think it could be generally february it could collapse. i mean really you cannot i saw the exchange rate mechanism the forerunner to the euro you cannot buck the markets as mrs thatcher said at that time and affectively what's the e.u. is trying to do with this massive bailout package seven hundred fifty billion euros is to try and buck the markets but you can't do that you national governments never have a money to actually out maneuver and out bid a bond markets or private markets they have more money available. and it's not going to work come in spades and i believe will bring down the euro some time early this is the new here and why is that because spain alone will need

a bailout package equivalent to half the entire bailout package which already has a hole in it for ardent hundred billion proximately and portugal is in trouble and greece is still in trouble so i don't think it's going to work on the course of the german constitutional court challenge as well which may well it does allow the germans from actually backing any rescue package you know under their own legal rules so i think the euro's in serious trouble i think i welcome the end of the euro politically but i do acknowledge that the economic cost of the euro clamping will hurt as all the many economists now doing to agree with you today they're saying that they won't collapse imminently and that germany has such a vested political interest in supporting it that it will keep on doing that is that the view from inside the european parliament well i mean the german has a lot of political interest in euro's a political project it was in fact i became u.k.

. when i was sitting next to george osborne and the former german. girl ring's former air ministry of berlin which is now the finance ministry and it worried me there in those many years ago just before the euro was was launched because they were denying it was a political project and it's always been a political project and that is dangerous because you cannot throw billions or hundreds of billions even after a political project at the markets aren't interested if they see through it they will bring it down and that's what's going to happen. column is there are different views different of what could happen but what i'm saying is the euro in its current form i believe will collapse i think you may get another euro re arising but with the stronger nations such as germany possibly france. belgium may be working together a different euro for the future but i think the euro in its current form will

collapse you cannot push water uphill you can't make pigs fly you know your own really is fundamentally unsound it goes back to the point i made that you're trying to force very divergent economists together germany is very powerful doing very well with its exports greece's very weak spain is very weak it has been has one and a half million homes unsold it's in serious trouble as is our and you cannot force all these countries and economies together and force them into this this euro it doesn't work and let's talk about sustaining it which of course is the newest member at the. beginning of the yeah and they're all posters up in estonia comparing the year rates of the titanic and comparing states said titanic and what's going to happen to countries like that well i fear for a study i mean you know good for a study is actually successful economically it's not going to have bosket case but i do worry for them i think it could be the shortest lived membership of the euro.

wall. but you know i do fear the economic costs of the euro collapsing you know countries having to reinvent currency is what she will have to do that is going to be very serious and i fear for dystonia you know stern has had a tough history with the soviet control the control that. it's got its freedom back it's doing well economically for heaven's sake don't throw it away by joining the euro and getting too involved in the titanic is a good metaphor i think because you know a study could find it's just got the last ticket for the titanic the the ship is whole below the water law and the euro it is fundamentally unsound you cannot support it through just throwing money at it it will not float you and your colleagues that you can't often talk about the collapse of the year a way to measure with but europe is the u.k.'s biggest trading partner wouldn't it

be a huge blow for british prosperity if the. parts well i don't underestimate the economic cost i think it is it is refreshing politically because it's a bad concept is a political project and it's really about driving the european union together creating one super state that's what it's really about there will be a big economic cost for all the verse all banks will be hit in the u.k. and i don't welcome however i think by liberating these countries from this straight jacket you know i mean ali has been going down the dollar and had serious problems because it's got the wrong interest rate because it's in the euro the interest rate you know one interest rate within this currency zone which doesn't suit because it was doing very well previously they forgot high inflation and they got high house prices and same in spain with a massive one off a million homes unsold. you know this just doesn't work. as

a concept you have to have a column is broadly the same in order to have a currency that covers them all that is not the case with the euro so yes there will be some economic damage but i think politically it will liberate these countries to have their own currency is they will be able to float they would be able to get their economies moving again the moment they're stuck in a free within the straitjacket we call the euro and your objection to the euro as a currency is well documented but you can't as a party also objects the european union and the u.k.'s membership but surely it's better for a small country like the u.k. to remain involved with it. in this way where britain mean if you look at our history we're involved with countries all around the world you know for hundreds of years trading happily. you know we have strong cultural links. we're not anti european. there is switzerland and they're not in european union or norway nor to

new your opinion what we're saying really is we want to different relationship with the european union we do not want to be within this political superstate united states of europe with its flag of its own its parliament and its president and all of that we don't want that we want a perfectly amicable friend the trading arrangement with the you just like switzerland has. but we don't want the politics you know about is really submerging our country way of doing things our judicial system and our culture within this super state we don't want and we don't need that i was you say we are the largest trading partner britain is with the continental e.u. we are in the prime position to actually have a perfectly respectable and very amiable free trade agreement free trade agreement many are saying that we've only seen the beginning of protests against austerity

measures. on the streets are you one of them or do you think it's going to in two thousand and eleven i think it will get worse and i do fear you know you have some extreme problems in greece in spades in portugal or very high unemployment where like in spain you're almost approaching you know one in every two young people is unemployed that is not sustainable within a democratic society i think that it will lead to serious problems. but i think the route to solving it is to get out of the euro have a free floating currency again and actually to be able to attract people back to spain in terms of holidaymakers for example because it's cheaper to go there that's a major issue and just to get the economy moving again i mean when we left the exchange rate mechanism which was the forerunner of the euro and britain our economy started getting better and it got stronger and stronger ever since we left

that region system that was the precursor to the euro and that's what will happen in all and spain is the only route to these countries actually finding salvation is to get out the euro and in the still attend spain will fall i think what will happen is spain will have to leave the euro all the euro will collapse because it's too big to support i mean it will need about seven times as much roughly as to help it out of the problems and that's not sustainable and even the germans you know are not prepared to work too late whatever in terms of their economy to support spade you know they can't afford even the germans can't afford to bail out large economies like spain and it's in serious problems are serious problems and we have to be honest about them the only way for the economy to start moving again is for it to get back it's a free floating currency not to be. the press with. david thank you very

much thank you. is filled with joy. with parades and marches. inspiring people with insouciance. but it was everything really good and it seems to speak out. though she shared her thoughts only with her diary it will became evidence in the trial for counter-revolutionary activity. the evidence which condemned to a label. the diary of a soviet school on cd. wealthy british.

the us. to. ten year protests held in the country calling on president obama to finally deliver on his promise to shut it down there's evidence and is the common good story of the prison abuse that is still holding always two hundred inmates in legal limbo. and that upsurge of tuberculosis in the u.k. the country that's pumping huge sums to fight the one legged aboard cruise on able to tackle its alarming spread of worth it has been named your t.v. capital with phone from his diagnosis with the disease and the. ok time now for sports for the go away. hello there thanks for watching the sport and these are the headlines. a russian

cross-country skier is bound to two years but paying. for the delayed pakistani cricket is accused of match fixing will have to wait until next month to hear that . latest signing the boston strong yeah. but first russian cross country skiing nicholai pointed out of has been banned for two years after being caught with equipment to take drugs the international ski federation said last september swiss border guards found he was carrying intravenous equipment and a derivative of. the campaign for russia at the winter olympics in vancouver but he's no longer part of the national team the twenty eight year old is a world championship medalist in ringlets but will now be banned until september twentieth twelve. now and i saw the three of the five top five teams were in action the k h l n cheese day all aiming to close the gap on leaders act bars and that one guard that there were going over style about means and i level on points at the summit of course schools and made up some ground between you got all one with the

season scoring twice and then the other game on tuesday at least two chasing a playoff spot before you could you know you were top. three pakistani cricket is accused of match fixing will have to wait until next month to find out their fate salman butt mohammad to see thermometer mayor are alleged to be accepted money in return for deliberately bowing no balls through the lord's test against england last summer all three deny wrongdoing their case has been heard by an international cricket council tribunals in doha which ended on tuesday but the i.c.c. has now the exam till next month if found guilty a place could face a lifetime ban from the game. so if you default when i mention the city you have a movie. new signing at. the bosnian international strike as arrived in the thirty two million year a deal from the german side in assigned afford a half year contract had been a target the italian side's ac milan and events in the summer had said it would

have the advantage but explained his reasons for joining city. just to suit. the other people. before. the big club we did begin. to get. a really good. very good coach. here about the fairies. mostly the people from manchester just to see. becks is back in britain started training with his new club tottenham hotspur the former england captain is on loan from l.a. galaxy but at the moment they're only allowing him to train and not play for the north london side the two clubs are in disagreement over what percentage of beckons wages will actually pay as it stands banks will be with them for a month during the american close season however if

a purring deal is struck this week he could well turn out against his former club manchester united at white hart lane on sunday. now the news now rushes taekwondo fighters had a great twenty ten with notable thick trees in the country now hopes it will be good enough to fill participants in all four taekwondo disciplines at the london olympic swimming course are of course up with the man in charge of nurturing rushers. party sport brings you an interview series featuring all the heads of russian sports federations and with us today is the presence of russian taekwondo union. sali and thanks for your time at the moment russia doesn't have much to boast about as far as taekwondo at the olympics are concerned i want to ask you about your plans for twenty it's well but how's your team feeling ahead of the london games but. we're very eager to fight twenty ten was a very successful year for us our men's team won gold at the european cup instant

petersburg and silver in the mixed event we haven't performed that well in a long time the youthful lympics in singapore brought us one silver and one gold medal we want to gold and silver medal of december's world tour in moscow that's a great result we're already for twenty twelve. on a global level how hard do you think it would be for our fighters to attain the maximum number of qualifying licenses for that's one to twelve olympics you're the winner i think we can get all four that's our ultimate and immediate goal i think we'll collect all four. that would be great there lympics are drawing closer and say you were appointed to this position a fairly recently even though you have been involved with taekwondo for a long time what will your role be in the preparation for the games as this system created before you came need improving newbury's of the systems constantly improving but the foundations have been laid we have great athletes and coaches but i work in progress we constantly amend our training routines and competition shared

tools at the same time we're making sure our athletes are on display i would even say we're making sure the world is afraid of our athletes it's important that our athletes are well known to boost their confidence. can you say a few words about how taekwondo is developing in russia is that more popular in some regions that in others and has a promoted from within. yes of course some regions are better than others looking back at the last championship i would say those regions moscow and st petersburg naturally. north or setia the urals chelyabinsk. it's quite popular nationwide really. so is it time for the union to start thinking about tracking the next generation is the sport popular among children and are there enough staff to train them. and it's pretty popular probably not yet being talked about by everyone there for interviews with t.v.

reporters are most important because they introduce taekwondo not just to children but rather to their parents taekwondo not only prepares a sportsman could shape she was a personality and a citizen i believe media exposure will help make this sport even more popular i think what can you say about the health of your athletes maybe some are weedy when they start doing sports and you make them stronger what are the health levels like compared to say ten years ago all of the other different people get into this kind of sport and one of our time asks it's a make a person who's not physically strong enough into an athlete you may have noticed the taekwondo develops a person comprehensively which means not just raising healthy athletes but healthy people in general we've obviously seen certain progress in this area over the past ten years not least of all because of the growth of taekwondo popularity and to increasing skills among our coaches and other specialists but what's the role of fans in the generals the poor in the stands and how important are they going to be

just as is the case for every sport a fan is the second most important person after the athlete is found supported by screaming and waving flags it helps a great deal i can't say things look very bright though we try to solve this by issuing free tickets to our event and invite children from sports academies for example we had full stadiums of the latest world cup and the fans were mostly children which is extremely play. thank you very much for your time mr president and we wish you good luck in the near future at the twenty twelve olympics this was the presence of the russian one so you know and i thought it very called speaking about the latest developments in the russian side quando in preparation for the twenty twelve olympic games in london i call sort of. in moscow things cross for them not funny there are a lot of big american football games in january apart from the n.f.l. playoffs top college teams play their bowl games which concluded with

a top run job and winning their second national title the tigers beating the number two oregon ducks in the b.c.s. championship game we go straight to the fourth quarter quarterback as he often does about to pick up the first time with his legs but instead i see nothing knocks the ball at getting back five minutes to go and can't mention needing running back. taking. two point conversion to tie the tank and they get it in spectacular fashion i sprayed by down to almost an even better catch for jeff my toddies getting back into the game tied at ninety eight and hands it off to michael looks like he's taken down after a short run but that is not whistled at and he says well i've. been watching the rooney's doesn't touch the grand prize. from the run that can go on and that's just great body control by the freshman running backs clearly thinks his knees off

the. floor free plays like sixteen more yards to set. up right and nineteen yard field goal attempts four ways bryant with just two seconds on the clock for a gang winning field goal for him to convert perfect to nice easy. when they call the fulcrum for the first time since he said. so that is old school for the moment so we got morphine. hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers on. children now see about eight thousand murders by the end of elementary school five two hundred thousand violent acts by the age of eighteen from movies to television shows to video games to

children. twenty four hour news channels is national team every day formulate a staples just chilled in. those waters for shakespeare those while those who fairytales to first think about it while it is a good job of artistic and journalistic future but most of the violence good to see is what i call a happy ending i think that god came down from heaven and stopped oh. amen or shut up mormon in a free one. makes the pill easier to swallow. everybody loves come. closer is the same understand not really underscoring the limits of the gravity look.
