it's half past the hour here in moscow a recap of our top stories now cheering the killing of one man or in the deaths of thousands of civilians in libya i missed the point out the problems of the u.s. media's approach to the bank its demise. and see corporate rallies spreading across the u.s. see dozens of fresh arrests in california riot squads used tear gas and rubber bullets to clear the city one area of tents. a new study says the u.s. used to use secretly reigning based weapons in iraq causing congenital illnesses and increases in terms. and plans on saving the euro or risk it's a crucial meeting of e.u. finance ministers and once they summit is cancelled casting doubts over the prospects of finding a solution to the deepening debt crisis. or europe's financial turmoil has

intensified calls in the u.k. to leave the struggling bloc well next to r.t. discusses the prospects of that happening in the future of the euro zone and the british conservative party m.p. douglas council. i'm in manchester with douglas cards well he's a conservative member of parliament he said the political system in this country is broken and in urgent need of reform he's also renowned skeptic service counselor thanks for talking to us we use this catch all term skeptic what does that mean old style your skepticism in this country used to be about trying to take this country back it used to be an inherently conservative movement that was about trying to take us back to a sort of one nine hundred fifty s. status quo i don't have much truck with that at all i mean you're a skeptic because i want change and i want to really change the way this country is

run i think fundamentally europe is in the mess that she is today because she's trying to do too much by conscious deliberate design a currency is a mess because it's a product of conscious design agricultural policy you have fisheries policy how trade policy you know we need to let go and we need to allow the different parts of the european continent to do what suits them best incidentally i would say that that's why the european continent global prominence in the first place is precisely because we never had the political centralization that russia had that china had for the mobile empire that the ottomans out that europe was allowed to prosper in the first place so we need a decentralized europe and i'm afraid i think that means rejecting the whole project completely so you think that person should leave the race we should have an in out referendum and i would vote for us to come out of the european union the european union and one nine hundred fifty s. political structure it's an architecture for

a modern continent. when we joined the european union or what became the european union in the early one nine hundred seventy s. western europe at that time accounted for thirty six percent of global g.d.p. gave the european continent accounts for far less than that by twenty twenty it would account for a mere fifteen percent of global g.d.p. we joined what we thought. it was a prosperous trade bloc it turns out we shackled ourselves to a corpse i think we're better off when you talk about i mean out referendum that isn't there a middle way where we have a trade relationship with europe that without any of the politics involved in effect if we had only now referendum and people voted for asked to leave the european project as it is we. land mass would still be there we would still have people with whom we want to be good neighbors personally i would like us to continue to have that free trade and the free movement of people between our

countries we would still have to cooperate but i think that can best be done through bilateral structures or by ad hoc arrangements. i would personally like to stop being rather grudging tenants in the european. apartment and become good neighbors to the european countries that are next to us we need good relations with continental europe but we're not getting them by being in this one nine hundred fifty s. apartment block despite the fact that u.k. didn't actually join the british taxpayers is still covering the currency to the tune of billions of pounds is that wrong it's absolutely wrong you know we have found ourselves in the ludicrous position of having to bail out a currency that we chose not to join and i think it's wrong for us to have increased british liabilities to over twenty billion to prop up a currency that i think needs to be allowed to break up you know. within europe within recent years we have allowed the current system created when slovakia broke

away from the czech republic they did so very simply by creating a new currency in argentina. the u.s. dollar turned out to be a disastrous mistake brought about by politicians and what is ours when eventually they had to break that link they were able to devalue their currency default on their debts and start again and as a result of that both slovakia. argentina are doing pretty well that i think is the answer for greece for portugal for ireland probably for spain and for italy another way perhaps of looking at it is that maybe the german center of the euro zone should be allowed to establish its own currency whichever way you look at it it involves breaking up the euro. has recently said admitted really that it's not going to be able to me says something for the next year and possibly to see is under current circumstances how much the british banks stand to lose in greece portugal and ireland it's well british banks are liable for quite

a lot of money billions of pounds at least that used to be regarded as quite a lot of money until our government started printing it but you know each case the british banks are going to take a hit and they're going to take a hit not because of some abstract problem in the euro zone they're going to take a hit because their investment teams on their fixed income debts are bought. and portuguese and other government debt that they regarded as fixed income but turned out to be a really bad investment now when my constituents buy shares in a company that's badly run and lose money the government doesn't step in and underwrite their loss so i'm very very concerned that taxpayers in my constituency will be asked to bail out banks that brought this upon themselves now if it is the case that we are going to have to prop up some of these banks because these banks have been so badly run such victims of their own greed and the less we do so our economy will disintegrate then then at least let's prop up the banks here in britain it's not channeled all that money all the way via athens while it's been

other third party countries if the problem really is that we don't want to allow banks in this country to face the consequences of their own fiscal folly then let's address that here in this country rather than channeling money through third party countries there is all very well say we have pushed monies that bail out british banks where we're operating within a block here aren't we this is not not an isolated place yes. of course there is a large degree of interdependence in the global economy and a good thing too but the idea that. simply because if banks if there is a default in the british banks will take it therefore we've got to keep on signing a blank check if that's so i don't think think through the logic of that you know ever since the bailout started eighteen months ago every single bailout has increased the amount of debt greece portugal and ireland while perhaps signs an exception but greece and portugal certainly have more debt today than they had when the bailouts began at what point do we realize that these bailouts are not helping

these the first bailouts in history that are scooping and ladling water into the boat eventually they're going to sink it you sort of flooding and almost an isolationist line here how does that tally with for example person going into it isn't it sort of isolationism of the ones who isn't on the other on the contrary if you think that what i said was isolationist i probably didn't make myself very clear i want britain to be a truly global player and not locked in a small room in the north west coast of europe doing everything with two or three other countries i want us to be truly global players it's right that we're global players by virtue of locking ourselves in the diplomatic room with europe i think we have less influence than we would have written after all has countries around the world that were once in effect britain australia or new zealand even india the rising power of india has a common law system and a parliamentary system like our own we have so much in common with the world why we

shutting ourselves away from it it is the european project that is making us insular and isolationist and that's still one silk about politics more generally is britain broken as the prime minister sets but our political system i think has broken our political system i think in effect what we have is an ageing for nineteenth century system of problem. you cannot proceed trying to hold to account a twenty first century size government it doesn't work it doesn't work. well in the interest of the taxpayer or in the interests of getting the best public policy again and again and again people vote for something it's not delivered and the people they vote for end up simply providing excuses as to why it doesn't happen i think we need more direct democracy we need instead of delegates in decision making to politicians who then delegate power to the whitehall elites and the mandarins we need to direct democracy so that people can choose things for themselves in this

country my grandfather's generation used to have food rationing what they had in their larder at home in their kitchen it was given to them by government those days are gone and a good thing people can now choose for themselves what they eat they can choose for themselves where they go on holiday they can choose themselves the clothes they wear why can't we have a little bit more choice about public policy in which we as well from the outside the situation in the u.k. looks pretty darn we've got corruption in the media media's close links to u.k. politics particularly the conservative party these old boys' network the political system is very serious reform itself what kind of message saying that sends to people who are losing their jobs and suffering from state cutbacks you're absolutely right britain has had a series of crises severely and we've seen from the m.p.'s expense campbell from the hacking inquiry and the close collusion allegedly between senior police officers and the media the banking crisis we've seen

a series of crises where the political elite has got it wrong and what do all these crises have in common number one they were all unaccountable concentrations of power now what's extraordinary is that the age of digital democracy the age of the internet allowed us to see what m.p.'s are doing with public money it allowed the whole hacking great thing to come out it allows people to hold to account. the rich and the powerful not just in this country but throughout the world so you know i think in a sense although these crises that bad they show which way the wind is blowing we're going to have more openness in government unaccountable concentrations of power whether they exist in banking the media or politics are going to be broken open everything that the internet touches it opens up it opens up to greater accountability that's going to happen in politics and a very good thing to politicians might not like it political parties might lose market share to new entrants in politics and maybe more competition to decide who gets to be our politicians but this is

a good thing direct democracy is good and what's preventing you from pressing through the political reforms that you say clearly. i would like us to have gone much further in opening up the political system in britain to choice and accountability you might say we need our own version of glasnost we need to make sure that the people in westminster are vulnerable to the wishes in the will of the people in a way that they're not we need openness we've gone some way to delivering that but we've not gone far enough and i think the reason why we've not gone far enough is bluntly because it suits the political class to carry on with some of the unsatisfactorily things we we have at the moment we promised that we would allow the voters the power to recall. their own politicians they have it in california they have it in many american countries in fact most of your viewers i'm sure can be recalled from their line of work pretty much any day of the week yet politicians you can't sack them for five years and in safe constituencies for even longer i

would like to allow the people to directly hire and fire the political class some changes have been made to make things better but not nearly enough and no prizes for guessing why that is doubtless cuts well thank you very much thank you. welcome to the. soonest punish trip to a magical land where pesticides are just plausible anymore for school children to live and learn without ever opening a paper book or einstein's theories and the laws of physics no longer apply and we're big can always be bigger don't be afraid to take my hand and enjoy the ride on technology update here on r.g.p. .
