boston meet a fierce response from the police he reportedly war veterans taking part in a peaceful rally a movement that started in new york continues to engulf a growing number of us if. we speak to a. 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 patch of grass is now. i'm talking to martha address and he is now a member of the european parliament for the u.k. independence party but she was formally the european commission's chief accountants and while she was in that job she raised concerns about flaws in the commission's accounting system which see said left it vulnerable to fraud not transgress and thanks for talking to us today now you are you're

a skeptic when you join the commission as chief accountant no i was not there you are a skeptic in fact i thought you were a project for such projects of cooperation i thought they were sharing solutions among the different member states so i was quite owners to be able to be part of the european union and also on or to be part of our ministers in for a forum that they were undergoing what happened or what did you find out to make you change your mind when i found out that he had no control on the payments they were made people 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 of spain so i had the highest responsibility and i thought i needed to know all playing to the life 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 brain and said what does what does that all mean well this means the e.u. funding it's going to people who do not qualify for these who do not meet 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. when they raised the money from the plane taxpayers they are short of saying this is going to be used for certain. purposes and a certain extent they are lying to the european taxpayer i thought i was working on behalf of the european taxpayer and my obligation was to make sure that 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 saw the committee in the parliament that oversees the payments out of the budget and i see it in the budget committee of the committee that oversees the planning of the budget and in both committees i can see that in the have no respect for your people taxpayers' money and i don't see the fundamental changes that they shouldn't have taken place you know once anybody who makes up payments in a normal memory. would take care that the payments would ask the questions what is this plane and. what is the purpose and this questions are not asked why they can push. the solution is to blame the member states only gave the money to the u.k. so you paid was committing the regularities well yes but you paid the money out

there to us the proper questions not laid out 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 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 didn't have adequate systems to control ok there is no or there train so it's very difficult to prove but you know there are going to fisheries who are getting the money without being qualified to get the money that they say yes and so the situation i actually think brussels is capable of reform is there a will to tighten or perhaps it's like that. i don't think that it's any we could tighten this practices because they have

a different agenda they want to promote the european union. and to promote this project they're going to be able to get the money to the people who will support 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 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 parliament a powerful people in the e.u. are the directors general in the european commission the european commission press the film director it's there for those substantive issues you happen vironment me in agriculture and they started to the generals are the ones who hold the power

you know the commissioners common goal every five years but this general normally have been there for decades and they hold the power now you 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 the two thousand and twelve budget and they have what they are asking for over a four percent increase i won't even asking for the creases but fundamentally saying we should that least usually allowances for the emmy please and they want them i mean i think we should show the example and the year if you 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 goes back and say snow we want more than four percent increase so i don't think there is no will and i am a lonely voice in the parliament in quietly first reduction of the budget and ultimately it's your goal to as it were to strike the system from within or ultimately my role or my goal is to make people in the u.k. but also around the rest of europe know the truth about the european union know the truth about how their money is being spent this is my job and then it's up to people to react to this new information or through this information and if it's not enough or something you know we are now in the middle of a crisis and people saying well do you budget has nothing to do with price but i

will give you an example greeks was brought into the european into the euro zone when we didn't qualify to get into the now people say greece lives while maybe in their accounts but. european commission process at this tax office uterus that you should have challenged the figures and they didn't challenge cup size. ten years later they realize something is wrong but they are there they have one thousand people working in new respect to our lives the figures they should have. another thing the budget was used to grow the economy of all these countries that came into the euro zone. reefs guard sixty billion park in the last twenty years out of the european union but the question is were they had the money to go because the economy has not grown so where did the money grow and 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 challenge. speech because he doesn't know. he thinks it's under control because he's asking for a freeze on the budget but while he was talking about the freeze there was somebody in 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 with or know exactly where the money is calling and i think we should know it's basically for everybody you know as i told you why he said that greece hasn't run its economy italy spain portugal. what are all the structural reforms that we have been paying for the last april. so you know it's not under members of parliament here in the u.k.

now looks 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 hooked 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 going to erupt i think. they get paid goodly european union 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 to think it could come back to do this in 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 the u.k. 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 a renegotiation 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 legislation coming from the you of course there will be an 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 card basically part of what e.u. grandees 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 think the. director is generally

a bureaucracy in brussels school stance the pain is 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 in a moment. sadly yes i feel with the patriots because you know we've had hundreds and hundreds sort of responding to my claims and here some go. maybe this wouldn't have happened so yes i think i've been the case it's. sad to say this because we could have prevented all that's happening today trying to ask thank you very much thank you. for the be.

a growing number of us sickles. full coverage of our top stories with me will receive straight just about fifteen minutes away now though time to get into the world of sports with k. . hello welcome to the sports on this big day of european football hall of finals and the headlines keeping cool country got a thought or just caution as russia has an door on tuesday night with a place at the european championships at stake. while gearing up late call outs does he again and stephen donald trump all of the news even sports have that crunch semifinal with rivals straining their back the world cup. scraps the first fortnight of the n.b.a. season is council and the pay rather rumbles on between players and. the first

of football in group b. leaders russia needs just a point against minnows andorra in moscow this cheese day nine's to secure a place at next summer's european championships once russia coach because the guy has warned his players their opponents could use sporting tactics as his side's to keep their heads at the national hearing which of reports. going into their final qualification group game russia funded selves an excellent position to be top their pool by two points and the remaining fixture is against andorra a team ranked at the very bottom of the prime cleans alongside the likes of american samoa and monster rants russia a massive favorites to claim all three points even though a draw would suffice and says they'll look to qualify playing good football. with the. world well organized. i think getting. better than the other one but still the thing to. pick of who will search one does

have a few selection concerns constant seems to be an oven on xander and you call for both out suspended after picking up yellow cards and so back your last time outs well you are sure coffers lost his battle to be fit after picking up a knock in jelena i want to go if it's ok and he's likely to retain his starting spot but 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 lisp unfair means to stop his team brazils towards between two more post afraid to do with yellow cards because this is quite irritating to play realize as well in. what they're doing. they don't want to blow for world. one man who will know more than a thing or two about i'm doris tactics is andrea sharyn he was sent off four years

ago the same potence as russia just about qualified to euro two thousand and eight and missed the first two games of battle and due to his red card and advocate is warning his players not to react to the antics of their opponents to the world to the players. so we have to discipline because this is the way we like to play for the unthinkable. we have to prepare for a good 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 are standing in their way a bridge in poland and ukraine are on board and signed but have only won one competitive match in history what we got outside all this is start of massive paved roads and russia play to anything like their full potential and they should have absolutely no problems whatsoever in picking up all three points richard pombo

played r.t. . well russia are the only side who can make it to the tournament from group b. second place ireland will take on third placed armenia in dublin with both sides aiming to keep their european championship dreams alive the irish need a points to confirm second spot and a play off place but will be without their captain robbie keane striker suffered a client during friday's to nowhere over endora west brom simon cox will take place up front are shane given will take the captain's armband and the goalkeeper is fully aware of the dangers of playing on media who themselves could grab second spot with a victory at the u.v. this stadium. parchments the belief that we can go on and beat them and i know they'll be calm and think i'm a symbol. you know it's a chance for us to you know center on which which is all you can ask for in the last few million i thought he would turn and do the business armenia had a taste of the a beaver stadium with a training session on monday the eastern european side lost one zero at home to

ireland in the opening round of last year's european qualifiers but says that defeats they've only been beaten once in eight matches during this campaign and have won the last three games eleven times in the process and conceding just once so they're brimming with confidence but also full of respect for the irish fans through. team will pull through we believe we can win because. it's important for us too. in other clues the room has to move from view. and this is how the group he currently looks just to draw the rusher would ensure they automatically qualify for next summer's european championships and also a point for ireland would mean they finish second go into a two legged play off. the rugby world cup france have named an unchanged side for saturday's semifinal with wales in all clones coach mark livermore will keep the

same side that beat england in the last eight with morgan again starting as flying off france have lost the semifinal stage of the last two world cups but really their experienced team will see them through this time between them the players have six hundred eighty seven caps and also a good record against the welsh having lost only once in the last seven meetings. well new zealand will face australia in the other seven final and they spent the day in the gym on tuesday among was new flyhalf stephen donald who's come in after an injury to collin slade who himself was called up to cover the injured down quarter and winger jose gere has also arrived after mills really are suffered a broken shoulder and their quarter final win over argentina. now the first two weeks of the new n.b.a. season have been counseled after players and club owners failed to agree on a new wage deal the argument is over the structure of a salary cap and what slice of the n.b.a.'s revenue players should receive under the old the all that was fifty seven percent but the clubs want that reduced to
