christian the steepness medicine this is really. good switching look you. know so it's. ok to run from also on the breaking news ukraine's former prime minister yulia timoshenko is given seven years behind bars for abusing her authority while signing gas deals with russia supporters are currently in a standoff with police just outside the kiev court. in boston wall street protests turned violent as police reportedly beat war veterans during a peaceful demonstration but it comes as people across the u.s. joining. the fusion of
6:31 am
a new global voice to russia china build a union the political domination of the west and. hold the fate of the eurozone or failed in its government both threatening to veto the new beefed up. european economies like those are the headlines i hear a lot safer now we talked to. 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 interview. i'm talking to mark to 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 accountants while she was in that job she raised concerns about flaws in the commission's
6:32 am
accounting system which seems that left it vulnerable to fraud bartram stress and thanks for talking to us today now where you were euro skeptic when you joined the commission as chief accountant no i was not the euro 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 onerous to be able to be part of the european union and also on or to be part of our ministry for reform that they were undergoing what happened or what did you find out to make you change your mind while i found out that he 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
6:33 am
the spain it's 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 changes to be able to determine if we were making the right brain is what does what does that all mean well this means that e.u. funding is going to people who do not qualify for these who do not need the funding and who use it for other purposes and this is very dangerous because you know there are many other purposes for which the money can be used. and when they raise the money from the peon facts players they are short of saying this is going to be used for certain. purposes. a certain extent they are lying to the europeans actually i thought i was working on behalf of the european taxpayer and
6:34 am
my obligation was to make sure that 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. i don't think anything has changed i now see it in the budgetary control committees for the committee in the parliament that oversee the payments out of the budget and i see it in the budget committee that the committee that oversees the planning of the budget and in both committees i can see that in the have no respect for european taxpayers' money and i don't see the fundamental changes that they shouldn't have taken place they don't want anybody who makes up payments in the long run laurie in would take care that the payments would ask the questions what is this plainly what is the purpose and this questions are not asked by the can. the solution is to blame the member states only
6:35 am
give the money to the u.k. so you played was committing the regularities well yes but you paid the money out that you are the proper questions but they don't so for me nothing has changed a lot of window dressing but nothing else and are you suggesting that the commission is being defrauded and if so by. well it's being the products to a certain extent in. talking about fraud it's always very problematic because so usually you have to prove it and it's very difficult to prove fraud in places where you don't have adequate systems to control ok you know all the trade so it's very difficult to to prove it but you know there are beneficiaries who are getting the money without being qualified to get the money that they say yes and so the situation actually think brussels is capable of reform is there
6:36 am
a will to tighten or perhaps it's like that up no i don't think it is 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're going to be able to give the money to the people who will support a 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 for certain members players but the people who will promote the european union project how deeply entrenched you think the best interests are in brussels who are the real power players well from my experience in the commission fundamentally but also now that i'm in the parliament the powerful people in the you are the directors general in the european commission the european commission has the full and directorates if it is substantive issues you have been vironment me in agriculture
6:37 am
and this director generals are the ones who called the part you know the commissioners common goal every five years but this directive general normally have been there for decades and they hold the work 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 are cutting their state spending is there any sign that brussels is doing the same now absolutely you know last night we spent six hours up proving in the budget committee in two thousand and twelve budget and they have what they are asking for a over four percent increase i won't even asking for the creases but fundamentally saying we should that least with the usually allowances for the only please and they don't want to review them i mean i think we should show the
6:38 am
a plumper or and use them search don't want any reduction. and the council of ministers had decided that they wouldn't give more than a two percent increase and here the parliament and say it's not 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 quietly first reduction of the budget and ultimately it's your goal to as it were destroy the system from where they're ultimately my role or my goal is to make people in the u.k. but also our own the rest of europe know the truth about the european union to 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 new for
6:39 am
something you know we are now in the middle of a crises 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 large one maybe in their accounts but. european commission has asked that this ticks off its euro start who should have challenged the figures and they didn't challenge that side. twenty years later they realized oh something is wrong but they are there they have one thousand people working in us that two are the lies the figures they should have. another thing the budget was used to grow the economy of all these countries that came into the universal. griefs got sixty billion pounds in the last twenty years out of the european union budget the question is were the money go
6:40 am
because the greek economy has not grown so worried that 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. a speech because he doesn't know what. he thinks it's under control because he's asking for a freeze in the budget but while he was talking about the freeze there was somebody in the budget committee who 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 clearly and i think we should know it's visible for everybody you know as i told you why you said the police since grown it's economy italy spain portugal. what are all the structural funds that we have been paying for the last.
6:41 am
so you know it's not on that point members of parliament here in the u.k. now accept to hold a debate on whether there should be a referendum on britain's membership of the european union do you think britain is hooked on the e.u. despite talking about wanting to me. while i think that the government might be hooked to the european union i don't think that the country as a whole is hopefully i think. the u.k. could in the european union negotiate a relationship when there are people who are very critical about you know what would happen how would we trade. the u.k. trade than existed before the euro and try to think it could go back to the days. the u.k. it's one of the biggest importers from the european union so forty two percent of the imports come from the european union so i think they you case in
6:42 am
a really solid position. 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. 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 legislation 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 basically apart what e.u. grantees are talking about is in forcing more fiscal union in in the face of economic collapse which seems like a desperate measure who stands to gain the most from keeping europe together i
6:43 am
think the. character is generally a bureaucracy in brussels which stands to pay is this people who have been pushing the project all along and they want this european union or 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 eurozone at the moment. sadly yes i feel vindicated because you know if people had heard and had sort of responded to my claims and here said go. maybe this wouldn't have happened so yes i feel vindicated i do it's sad to say that because we could have prevented all that's happening today trying to us and thank you very much thank you .
6:44 am
feel. to. us.

a beaver stadium with a training session on monday they lost one nil at home to ireland in the opening round of euro qualifiers last year but since that defeat 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 also for the respect for the irish. team. because. it's important. and help you understand what is at stake this is how the group is looking at the moment draw for russia would ensure they qualify automatically for the next summer's european championship by finishing top of the group and a point for ireland would mean they finish second and go into a. well the first two weeks of the new n.b.a.

season have been cancelled after plays and club owners failed to agree on a new labor deal they are arguing over the structure of a salary cap on what slice of the n.b.a.'s revenue play. they should receive under the old deal it was fifty seven percent but clubs want that reduced under half the parties made on monday but could not find a breakthrough prompting n.b.a. chiefs to scrap the sports night of the season which was due to start on november first and they say there's been little progress. we spent two days here. i think it's fair to say we establish the positions of authority with complete certainty you. mean really very very far apart on monday in monday's night's game in the n.f.l. so the detroit lions extend their unbeaten start of the season to five gangs based in the chicago bears twenty four points to thirteen is detroit's best start since
