in the early twenty first century military bases a network of military bases all around the former sleep empire that the united states is trying to build that's astonishing most americans have no idea there are more than a quarter of a million more than two hundred fifty thousand u.s. troops stationed on these bases all around us. we don't have power bases in america we don't have any british base we don't have any korean base we don't have any french bases or you know we just all american bases in our bases afai or the noise is our an officer doesn't bother us at all because they're all bases but for other people it's almost like a cancer here for these people since the end of world war two the spaces i've been . working here to provide a safe and secure environment for everybody. the

questions they have thing else is to get everything you need. reviewing the week's top stories here on our t.v.'s here headlines dozens killed in libya's capital as nato embarks on its most intense bombing raids yet water has been heavy fighting as rebels renew attacks on the oil port city of zawiya in syria tension is rising as the government continues its severe crackdown on the opposition security forces have now retaken the northern town of jews are all sure reportedly following heavy fighting there. in greece frustration at the introduction of a new wave of austerity measures spills onto the streets new cuts are the need to secure a second round of the e.u. bailouts but problems remain as germany and the european central bank argue over

how to get private investors to contribute. the u.s. navy vessel in the black sea sparked outrage from moscow and claims it's a prelude to the planned nato missile defense shield for europe the u.s.s. monterey docked in odessa at a joint military exercises in the area. next artie's daniel bushell sits down with french far right leader marine le pen who's taken over from her famous some say infamous father who ran for the presidency five times and of next year's presidential elections in france she shared her views on the country's politics. to win an unprecedented first round victory in france this presidential elections next year she says that france is on the verge of revolution but what tuck the extra expect nicolas sarkozy to use to try and stop the winning power. but you know

i don't think there is a risk of a person a sincere and a fan's he's a her own ideas there is no reason to warry the greatest danger in connection with nicolas sarkozy so he may again do what he did in two thousand and seven namely make a number of extremely tough statements regarding threats regulation of immigration process and european protectionism but those statements will remain what they are just further bitch after all during his four years in office and another nine years at the head of the security system he was interior minister before he became president he strictly speaking nothing as i repeatedly said to him he had loud words and we can go from time to time the french tend to delude themselves thinking that maybe this time he'll carry out his promises but in actual fact he made good not a single promise he was throwing around during used two thousand and seven campaign what effect will strokes cause the wrist have on the french the actions so that this means that strasse can is really a symbol of some sort

a symbol of universalism of a superclass devoid of norms a symbol of hysterical liberalism and in this sense he was indeed an emblematic candidate before only human point of view considering what he's like the fact that he has been neutralized cannot distress you the thing is that in consequence nicolas sarkozy automatically has given a gulp of oxygen this is due to the fact that the electorates of dominic strasse can and they claw sarkozy are in part identical because prices are up holding the same ground ideas so women have complained about sexual assault by the extra before . his arrest but the french media refuse to investigate what does that say to you. yes there does exist a problem of falling public morality on my part i am urging the citizens of france to recover their rig in this matter the french must become exacting again this and i must say after all that five ministers resigned in the course of one year over

a conflict of interests mr blank mr mr worth and even frederick mature on him you are speaking about having been forced into resignation five ministers due in one year and six who deserve to be kept on is too much for want government moreover i'm not forgetting that it was nicolas sarkozy who pointed dominic strauss kahn france's minister of finance during so in the full knowledge of the critical remarks with regard to colmes womanizing behavior he took the risk of a possible scandal a scandal likely to be so much the whole of france how many people refused to vote in french elections and how much of the expect. this depends on the elections absent ations amount to twenty percent asian a sixty it's significant you must be sat at the high offices in france are rotated between persons who never fulfilled their promises so at a certain moment the french simply got tired of another phenomena existing in

western countries today is about economic power being preferred over political power so why should the french go somewhere to vote for their rulers if it's clear that the rulers of powerless are that this country is run by those who possess economic powers this is why in order to make the french but you also have to explain to them that politics should seize the initiative from economics and finally from this is not a democracy it's high time we stopped telling ourselves fairy tales of what millions of frenchmen are in no way represented in the national soundly they usually account for between fifteen and twenty percent of votes the communist party at this. him time as deputies even though they have just five percent of the vote since far from every frenchman feels that he's right means anything he has a natural abstains from elections you talk about affirmative action for. here in france what does that mean there are a thousand of them today all the enterprises and particularly big ones have signed

a charter that prescribes harming people from other cultures or a different origin which means that a frenchman a poor frenchman with french troops will end up behind others i believe it's a gross violation of the republican principle of equality on my part i believe in markets which are the color of the skin is the origins that person who really deserves it will get the job degree that some should take a job just due to his or her color of skin or region of faith is an absolute contradiction of the basic values of france it means if you're a foreigner you have a better chance of a plume and then a french citizen thus the heart of a major french enterprise issued a statement that caused around. personally all of the conditions being equal i prefer employing a person a moment one hundred so as a result the french are discriminated in their own country this is a world turned upside down what's the consequences for immigration into france

continues the current levels. of all immigration is used to lower wages you see the labor market is something which speaks for itself its about demand and supply it also allows foreign citizens to enter our country and work for peanuts thus making salaries go down is a labor that has been used more than thirty years there are more than five million jobs lost people in france how can it be that a law permits another two hundred thousand people a year to enter the country with five million unemployed and these jobless people are just forced to do whatever they can to survive. who lets them survive the state which obviously lots of deficit grow such i believe that immigration as it is now is sheer nonsense i believe that the current situation is actually related to our colonial history and locked in a putin was quite right saying in about twenty years france's g. to become a colony of its own former colonies as

a matter of fact we're witnessing something over vange by the group of states peoples since france is made to feel guilty by saying us scoundrels colonizers and slavers so you have no right to hinder in any way those who come to france the french have put up with the mass immigration and today they are aware that this massive immigration is fraught with huge problems because of state financing self-consciousness and living together hear them talk many of these young men just hate phones now that they have gained independence one may think they will be developing their own countries by demonstrating a better without us. what you're seeing thousands of north africans from through italy recently. italians use the system they use shan again they use the european union they know to any legal regular rice by any country of the e.u. and with these documents cage or any other country of the they say no problem at

all eighty percent of donations want to go to france would give them documents i would like that they will leave and that is exactly what they did a regular i still eagles and they all came to france should remain a bulgarian to be allowed free movement within the e.u. as is now being discussed here in the european parliament. it will be tragic it will be an additional immigration it is obvious it will be a signal for a massive immigration more particularly a very much it was useless for nicolas sarkozy to saying and and go and get all the world television to say. and see i will take roma back to a border which does not exist now they will have the possibility to come and settle as they want and france but they are a considerable number we know they are very poor people but once more loans being the most attractive country in all e.u. will be up to her to face this inflow of immigration with the consequences going

with it in terms of conflicts once more of living together people cannot bury our. governments of the libyan war would take months what do you expect to happen. because firstly you are completely outside international law we should stop talking nonsense it is no longer at all an air exclusion zone we are in a mission to bring down a man and regime and in order to do say we bomb we send helicopters and tomorrow obviously we will send an army on the ground so it's no longer at all about humanitarian issues it's about a civil war in which we take one side and even in a tribal war which objectively is not of our business unless you consider france as other countries has to muddle again in the internal affairs of face of our country we will not get out of this war or get bogged down in this one and in addition i am ready to take baths unfortunately set ones that the regime will come off to khadafi

will be an islamist regime and probably one of the hardest islam is and as we know well that the dissidents the rebels of been garci are in the majority infiltrated by all acts the hardest from all wars of recent times for. sarkozy for war crimes on behalf of libyans who have lost children due to french bombing to support them in the south of france is the big to be a country and this is not liked by the leaves that is not politically correct you do not say it french people do not know at all that hundreds of thousands of civilians die under nato has bombs that set nobody no use going. delfi son for i have no friendship i never met him he was no my friend i have nothing in common with him so when he son his wife and he's three babies are killed by stroy from nato on their part of the house nobody said a word just as if these libyan babies were not really babies you would take friends out of the euro zone why is your robot even forefronts there with the balls today

the year is death certificate is just waiting to be signed this means that those who built this currency wrong and they took with them other people in the major failure at the economic and social raffles while that set theory is going to die i think it should be better to anticipate this task rather than suffer from this data which will be otherwise a real are can all make and social chaos but they have told us the euro will bring growth employment rates purchasing power allowing us to counterbalance the power of the dollar sorry but the euro zone is the weakest in the world and today design is bankrupt almost germany is just that it's creeping its nuclear plans three and four french people are against nuclear energy what will you do with nuclear energy if you become president. i think it's impossible to do without nuclear energy today in france i mean given the importance of this energy for our national independence so eventually the objective is to invest in the research so as to try and find

alternative energies we cannot consider getting out of nuclear energy by twenty twenty two or twenty twenty five as does germany which actually has been preparing this axid for a long time. really pin head of the national front thank you for speaking with us.

wait for a day in his bid to reclaim the queen's cup title the fourth ranked scot won here two years ago what's on their aims for a first title in twenty months the event now goes into a second monday for the first time since boris becker jimmy connors in one nine hundred eighty seven. but elsewhere danish women's world number one caroline wozniacki delighted the home crowd and has been taken a twenty year old. in the czech republic to retain his danish open crowns it was a comfortable wins of us nancy picked up her fist title of the season. now to modern pentathlon where czech david spear bother won the inaugural kremen cup as the world's top pentathlete descended on moscow over the weekend as reports. russian men have plenty to boast about when it comes to big pentathlon events starting with the sydney two thousand games the country is yet to relinquish the summit's of the podium and they will be hoping for gold number three of the

upcoming games in london but the next generation is already breathing down his neck at eighteen years of age sugar of his already making waves for the national team the youngster who made his senior debut at this first ever crammed in cup one the fencing event and followed up with a great performance both in the pool and in the show jumping arena and that elevated him to fourth overall before the combined running and shooting events where he encountered some difficulty with a newly introduced laser gun finishing in nine of us i like it here with the c.d.'s and loved everything today except for the shooting i just can't get it right but i won the fencing told him it today and that's great. since i'm a little champion and they finished in eighth place that poor result could be attributed to a recent rule change that so air pistols are replaced with laser guns plus running and shooting events have been combined into one making it look more like a summer biathlon adjusting could sake some time for the champ but the twenty eight

center world championship runner up alexandre list soon looks set to dominate in the near future the russian taking second place and the silver in the kremlin cup. despite the second place i'm very happy with my performance because david svoboda is the real star of the combined event i have to admit that we weren't prepared as well as the other half lives because our main computer nation the european championship is still ahead. so let's recap check david swoboda the winner of the first ever kremlin cup russia's alexandre listen in second with third and fourth place is going the way of the hungaroring athletes the london olympics are just a year away and that means a nation's wanting to qualify will have to work hard right now some will be able to get the coveted licenses for that's what it's all games and the upcoming european championship room on cost for a r.c. moscow. and finally there are just under a thousand days to go before the twenty fourteen winter paralympics in sochi so not
