10:05 am
they were the air force for the albanian separatists are now acting as their infantry so this is what we have said this is clear breach of the un charter and of the resolution twelve forty four all they're doing right now is that they're actually. destabilizing the situation they're actually bringing conflict. everything was reasonably peaceful until they gave the green light for albanian special police forces to forcibly take the administrative border back in july and ever since then they've been giving them full support disappear encouraging actually the government to preach to me. headed by a hotshot chief wanted for various charges from organ trafficking to drug trafficking and that they're encouraging him to more violence they're not a peace factor at all they're total factor of war and the stabilization.

the control of this force which side of this force will will be predominant. now a libyan revolutionary forces say they have surrounded a city of sake of half a stronghold meanwhile aid agencies are alarmed at the thousands of civilians fleeing the perceived town people are being driven from their homes by fierce fighting and an overall back of supply lines the deputy editor of the independent online magazine spiked says the situation has only been made worse by nato. this is the inevitable consequence of the think things that they got rolling back in february you know the kind of half hearted intervention was always going to end up with last stand by gadhafi forces in fact this is the last stand that we expected in tripoli a few weeks ago that never happened and it's clearly there's a lot of this thing about the rose leaves national community now could be making things worse not simply called bombarding the city put oil actually having made

a concern out here is to the single currency means higher taxes low gov expenditure and cuts in their standard of living and also for and also even even for a country like germany in fact specifically a country like germany at here's the single currency means massive transfer payments paid to countries in southern europe and what's happening is that the germans are no longer putting up with it we shouldn't be where we are now and it is because of the fanaticism of this european elite and we should look very carefully at what they have to say in the future these are real human and they are discredited and what is very worrying is that as my as my father used to say to me when i was a young man he said if you make a financial guarantee the nature of fire financial guarantees is that they get caught and there is a limit to how much even a country like germany can produce because a country like france is actually much much less and there will be a long term question marks over the credit credit worthiness of france and germany
