domination of the western world. slovakia holds the fate of the eurozone bailout of this palm with a government vote threatening to veto the new beefed up fund for debt laden european economies. so the top stories here on our team or at the top of the hour in the mean time r t talks to martha andersen former chief accountant for the european commission she says that brussels only cares about propping up the idea of the e.u. however much the budget grows her interview is up next. i. i. i'm talking to ma to an address and he's now a member of the european parliament for the u.k. independence party but she was formally the european commission's chief accountant while she was in that job she raised concerns about flaws in the commission's accounting system which she said left it vulnerable to fraud dress and thanks for talking to us today now were you

a euro skeptic when you joined the commission as chief accountant no i was not there you're a skeptic in fact i thought the euro project was a project of cooperation i thought they were sharing solutions among the different member states so i was quite on earth to be able to be part of the european union and not all nor to be part of our ministry to reform that they were undergoing what happened or what did you find out to make you change your mind when i found out that they had no control on the payments they were making out of the european union budget basically you know they didn't ask if people qualified to get the funding from the european union and i was responsible for the signature of the spade so i had the highest responsibility and i thought i needed to know if i was

playing to the right person and for the right purpose and they just didn't care and they didn't allow me to make change use to be able to determine if we were making the right pane so what does what does that all mean well this means that you funding is going to people who do not qualify for these who do not need the funding and who you should for other purposes and this is very dangerous because you know there are many other purposes for which the money can be used. when they raised the money from the peon taxpayers they are short of saying this is going to be used for certain. certain extent they are lying to the you know be an expert i thought i was working on behalf of the european taxpayer and my obligation was to make sure the payments were correct others didn't see it like that they did that in fact you were fired for blowing the whistle do you think

anything's changed since i don't think anything has changed i now see it in the budgetary control committee so all the committee in the parliament that oversees the payments out of the budget and i see it in the budget committee the committee that oversees the planning of the budget and in both committees i can see that they have no respect for european taxpayers' money and i don't see that fundamental changes that they shouldn't have taken place you know once anybody who makes up payments in normal will. take care that the payments would ask the questions what does this pain mean and what is the purpose and this questions are not asked by the can. the solution is to blame the member states only gave the money to the u.k. it's the u.k. who is committing the irregularities well yes but you paid the money out the to us

the proper questions they dealt so for me nothing has changed a lot of window dressing but nothing i mean are you suggesting that the commission is being defrauded and if so who by. well it's being the products to a certain extent in. talking about fraud it's always very problematic because obviously you have to prove it and it's very difficult to prove fraud in places where you don't have adequate systems to control you that is know all the tray so it's very difficult to prove it but you know there are beneficiaries who are getting the money without being qualified to get the money that is the essence of the situation do you think brussels is capable of reform is there a will to tighten that up no i don't think that it's any will to tighten this practices because they have a different agenda they want to promote the european union project and to promote

this project they want to be able to give the money to the people who will support the project not the people who really care about the. proper way not the people who are going to use this funding to grow the economy of a certain member state but the people who will promote the european union project how deeply entrenched you think vested interests are in brussels where the real power play is well from my experience in the commission fundamentally but also now that i'm in the parliament a powerful people in the e.u. are the directors general in the european commission the european commission has different directorates with different substantive issues you have environment kaname culture and this directive the generals are the ones who hold the power you know the commissioners come and go every five years but this that ector general

normally have been there for decades and they hold the power they know who they need to give the funding to get the support where in times of austerity at the moment and members all. across europe cutting testate spending is there any sign that brussels is doing the same you know absolutely you know last night we spent six hours approving in the budget committee the two thousand and twelve budget. and they have they are asking for a over four percent increase i was even asking for decreases but fundamentally saying we should at least reduce the allowances for the emmy police and they don't want to reduce them i mean i think we should show the example and the every piece themselves don't want any reduction and the council of

ministers had decided they wouldn't give more than a two percent increase and here the parliament goes back and say no we want more than four percent so i don't think there is no will and i am a lonely voice really in the parliament in what we first reduction of the budget and ultimately it's your goal to as it were destroy the system from within ultimately my role or my goal is to make people in the u.k. but also around the rest of you know the truth about the european union you know the truth about how their money is being spent this is my goal and then it's up to people to react to this new information or to this information and it's not for something you know we are now in the middle of a crisis and people saying well the year budget has nothing to do with price but i

will give you an example greece was brought into the european into the euro zone when it didn't qualify to get into the now people say greece lives while maybe in that account but. european commission has asked that this ticks off its uterus that who should have challenged the figures and they didn't challenge that side. ten years later they realize something is wrong but they are there they have one thousand people working in euro stat to analyze the figures they should have come. another thing the budget was used to grow the economy of all these countries that came into the uterus. griefs got sixty billion pounds in the last twenty years out of the european union budget the question is were there the money to go because the greek economy has not grown so where did the money grow william hague the u.k.'s foreign secretary says that the e.u.

budget is now under control is that the truth and i think it's not the truth i have to challenge. the speech because he doesn't know. he thinks it's under control because he's asking for friess in the budget but while he was talking about the freeze there was somebody. the budget committee was trying to vote in favor of an increase of four percent so it's not under control and also. you know we don't know exactly where the money is cool and i think we should know it's basically for everybody you know as i told you why is it that greece hasn't grown its economy italy spain portugal what is what are all the structural reforms that we have been paying for the last take. so no it's not on that point members of parliament here in the u.k. now look set to hold a debate on whether there should be

a referendum on britain's membership of the european union do you think britain is hooks on the e.u. despite talking about wanting to leave. while i think that the government might be hooked to the european union i don't think that the country as a whole is called to the european i think. they could to the european union and negotiate another type of relationship when there are people who are very critical about you know what would happen how would we trade. the u.k. trade they've done existed before the european union try think it could go back to the days when they u.k. is one of the biggest importers from the european union so forty two percent of the imports come from the european union so i think the u.k. seen a very solid decision. and i think it would be healthy not only for

the u.k. but for the rest of the member states because it would force i renewed association of the european union and all the trade agreements that we have i don't see of course this doesn't happen in twenty four hours i mean of course now we have seventy percent of the little coming from the you of course that would be interim period or the u.k. would have to develop new legislation of its own i mean of course it doesn't happen in twenty four hours but we first have to make the decision to leave and then. start the process euro zone countries are staring down the barrel of a gun and basically what e.u. grandees are talking about is in forcing more fiscal union in the face of economic collapse which seems like a desperate measure who stands to gain the most from keeping europe together i think the. director is generally a bureaucracy in brussels who stands to gain this those people who have been

pushing the project all along and they want this european union where they will hold the power over all the member states and finally as a euro skeptic do you feel any way vindicated by what's going on in the euro zone at the moment sadly yes i feel vindicated because you know if people had heard and had some sort of responded to my claims ten years ago. maybe this wouldn't have happened so yes i feel vindicated but it's sad to say this because we could have prevented all that's happening today. as and thank you very much thank you.

hello there thanks for watching the sport and this is what is coming up over the next fifteen minutes keep cool in moscow russia courage to get the car urges caution against andorra with a play to the european championships at stake. while there's a blow for rivals ireland will be without captain robbie keane for their crunch game with armenia. and scrap the first for nine to be n.b.a. season is cancelled is that a rather rumbles on the thing players and club of. the russian need just a point against minnows and or in moscow tonight to secure a place at next summer's european championships but russia coach to get the car has warned his players their opponents could use dirty tactics and is urging them to keep their heads at the luzhniki arena with more than perfect.

going into their final qualification group game russia find themselves in excellent position to be top the poll by two points and the remaining fixture is against andorra a team ranked a very bottom of the people rankings alongside the likes of american samoa and montserrat russia a massive favorites to claim all three points even both draw wood so far it's an advocate says they'll look to qualify playing good football we've tried to play the best thing work you can do and the world well organized. thing to team is doing well longer would work better than the other one but still. the team is playing attractive who will the dutchman does have a few selection concerns constantine's video of another example a new call for both suspended after picking up yellow cards in slovakia last time outs while you were sure coffers lost his battle to be fit after picking up a knock in jelena. undergo

a thorough is ok and he's likely to retain his starting spot while some of the fringe players may be given a chance in the first eleven however uppercuts biggest concern is how he and dorrans may try to use less fanfare means to stop his team brazil's towards putting two more players to failed to do with yellow cards because this is quite irritating to play realize it as well in. what they're doing. they don't want to blow for. one man who are no more than a thing or two about i'm doris tactics andrea shot in he was sent off four years ago against the same honan's as russia just about qualify for euro two thousand and eight and missed the first two games of the torment due to his red card and of the count is warning his players not to react to be antics are very opponents i'm injured as a world to the players. so we have to discipline because this is the way they like

to play for. it's been a very good qualifying campaign for the russians have dominated every one of their nine games so far that they played in the group and they'll be looking to book their ticket to poland ukraine in style russia when touching distance of next year's european championships standing in their way of bridging poland and ukraine are under unsigned but have only won one competitive match and stream or bigger but can't fly ball up as the start of massive favorites and of russia play to anything like their full potential and they should have absolutely no problems whatsoever in picking up points richard pombo played r.t. . let's hope so well russia are the only ones who can make it to the tournament from group b. ireland take on armenia in dublin tonight with both sides aiming to keep their european championship dreams alive the irish need a point to claim second spot and a play off place but will be with that their captain robin kane he suffered

a thigh injury during their recent senior win over endora simon cox will take his place up front while goalkeeper shay given will take the captain's armband and he's fully aware of the dangers of playing on media who could grab second spot themselves with a victory. on parts with we're going to the belief that we can go on and beat them and they'll be calm and think in the symbol. you know it's a chance for us to you know center on hands which which is all you can ask for in the last game really i'm going to go in and do the business but i mean i got a taste of the stadium with a training session on monday they lost one nil at home to ireland in the opening round of the euro qualifiers last year but since that they think they've only been beaten once in eight matches during this campaign and have won their last three games scoring eleven times in the process and conceding just once so they are brimming with confidence but are also full of respect for the irish i'm still in the. team but those who we believe we can win

because. you see there on king. it's important for us three points but you know other case we understand that irish is a very strong team. and to help you understand what is at stake this is how the group looks at the moment to draw from russia then would ensure they finish top and qualify automatically for next summer's european championships and a point for ireland would mean they would finish second and go into the playoffs. in other news the first two weeks the new n.b.a. season has been called off the plays and club owners fail to agree on a new labor deal they are arguing over the structure of a salary cap slice of the n.b.a.'s revenue play should receive under the old deal it was fifty seven percent but clubs want that reduced under half the parties met on monday could not find a breakthrough prompting n.b.a. chiefs to scrap the first fortnight of the season which was due to start in

november the first and conceding there's been little progress. i think it's fair to say we established the positions of the board. with complete certainty your. reign really very very four or more monday night's game in the n.f.l. so the detroit lions extend their unbeaten run to five games this season beating the chicago bears twenty four points to thirteen is to choice best start since nine hundred fifty six and i had matthew strafford to thank the two touchdown passes he connected with calvin johnson head to get the points on the board early in the second period. by halftime chicago who had sneaked in front ellen davis going over here for a ten seven late. however detroit seemed to gain the advantage this time strafford finding brandon pedigree. and the third touchdown was the highlight after forcing

the bears to punt garbage best to the ball at the middle of the park untouched as the troy went on to win twenty four points or thirty five wins from five games for them archie progress for start continues this the. fate. of. the rugby world cup france have named an unchanged side for saturday semifinal with weill's coach mark livermore keeps the same side that beating england in the last eight that morgan parra again starting his flyhalf france have lost at the semifinal stage of the last two world cups but believe their experienced team will see them through this time the players have six hundred eighty seven caps between them and also a good record against the welsh having only lost once in the last seven meetings. and we will end with mixed martial arts because russian fighter. is preparing to face one of his biggest challenges the last emperor goes up against american jeff
