this is our take time to look at the headlines of cheering the killing of one man while ignoring the deaths of thousands of civilians in libya i just point out the problems of the us media's approach to the gulf is the light that says libya's new rules also stay quiet on how they're going to build infrastructure destroyed by civil war nato has bombs. place a classroom hundreds of anti coke with their instructors in the us if you go clear crowds to the streets to protest earlier something extra moving the tents that's what seems to take gas and rubber bullets to disperse the gathering. also a new study says the u.s. you see could be draining based weapons in a blog post in congenital illnesses an increase in the cancer listen civilians and the poor found a new generation of bombs was employed by the forces in taurus and battle of
4:31 am
polluters several years ago. and plans on saving you know i would risk is a crucial meeting of european finance ministers is a chance old head of wednesday's insanity is cast doubt over the prospects of a solution big down to the deepening debt crisis. of europe's financial turmoil has intensified calls within the u.k. to leave the struggling bloc next hour to discuss is the prospects of that happening in the future of the euro said the british conservative party m.p. but his cause well. i'm in manchester with douglas cause 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 euro skeptic douglas cause i'm talking to us we use this catch all term euro skeptic what does that mean old
4:32 am
style euro 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 but 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 the currency is a mess because it's a product of conscious design agricultural policy have fisheries policy how trade policy you know we need to let go and we need to allow different parts of the european continent to do what's best incidentally i would say that that's why the european continent grew to global prominence in the first place it's precisely because we never had the political centralization that russia had that china had the mobile empire that the ottomans had but europe was allowed to prosper in the
4:33 am
first place so we needed the centralized europe and i'm afraid i think that means rejecting the whole e.u. project completely so you think that person should leave the correct 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 outdated 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. today the european continent accounts for far less than that by twenty twenty it will account for a mere fifteen percent of global g.d.p. we joined what we thought. it was a prosperous trade blot it turns out we shackled ourselves to a corpse i think we're better off and you talk about an in out referendum but isn't there a middle way where we have a trade relationship with europe that without any of the politics in effect if we had only referendum and most people voted for us to leave the european
4:34 am
project as it is we. 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 free trade and free movement of people between our countries we would still have to cooperate but i think that can best be done through structures or by ad hoc arrangements. i would personally like us to 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 hundred fifty apartment block despite the fact that u.k. didn't actually join the euro zone british taxpayers are still covering the currency to the billions of pounds that run it's absolutely wrong you know we have
4:35 am
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 and it. within europe within recent years we have allowed new currencies to be created when slovakia broke away from the czech republic they did so very simply by creating a new currency when argentina had picked their currency to the u.s. dollar turned out to be a disastrous mistake brought about by politicians and when is ours when eventually they had to break that link they were able to devalue their currency just pulls on their debts and start again and as a result of that. and argentina are doing pretty well that i think is the answer for greece or portugal ireland probably for spain and italy another way perhaps of looking at it is that maybe the german center of the euro zone should be allowed to
4:36 am
establish its own currency whichever way you look at it it involves breaking up the euro and greece has recently said admitted really that it's not going to be able to meet its obligations for the next year and possibly. how much the british bank. 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 he's the 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 that bought greek portuguese and other government debt but they regard it as fixed income but turned out to be a really bad investment now when my constituents buy shares in a company that 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
4:37 am
will be asked to bail out banks that brought this upon themselves now if if that is the case that we are going to prop up some of these banks because these banks have been so badly run such victims of their own greed that unless we do so our economy will disintegrate then at least let's prop up. the banks here in britain if not channeled all that money all the way via athens violet's been of 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 clothes all very well say we're british money said bell out british banks where we're operating within a block here and we listen it's 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 you know simply because if banks you know if there is a default in the eurozone british banks will take it therefore we've got to keep on
4:38 am
signing a blank check that's absurd and 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 owns 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 ladling water into the boat eventually they're going to sink it this sort of flowing and almost an isolationist line here how does that harley with for example a person going into libya i mean isn't it sort of isolationism on the one hand expansionism 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
4:39 am
we have less influence than we would have britain after all has countries around the world that will once in effect a future britain australia new zealand even india have a rising power of india as a common. system in a parliamentary system like our own we have so much in common with the world why are we shutting ourselves away from it it is the european project that is making us insular and isolationist and this go on silk about politics more generally is britain broken their prime minister that sets our political system i think has broken our political system i think in effect what we have is an eighteenth or nineteenth century system of parliamentary democracy 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
4:40 am
people that 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 delegating decision making to politicians who then delegate power to the whitehall elites in the mandarins we need direct democracy so that people can choose 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 you know 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 dress all selves as well from the outside the situation in the u.k. looks pretty corruption in the media media's close links t.k. politics particularly the conservative party these old boys' network the political system is very slow to reform itself what kind of message saying that sends to
4:41 am
people who are losing their jobs and suffering from state cutbacks you're absolutely right britain has had a series of crises of elites and we've seen from the m.p.'s expense campbell from the hacking gate 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 what 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 were doing with public money it allows the whole 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. they show which way the wind is blowing we're going to have more openness in government unaccountable concentrations of power they
4:42 am
exist in banking the media all 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 now politicians minor like it political parties might lose market share to new entrants in politics there may be 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 pursuing through political reforms that you clearly do. i would like us for 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 because it suits the political class to carry on with some of the unsatisfactorily
4:43 am
things we have at the moment we promised that we would allow the voters the power to record. 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 even longer i would like to allow the people to directly hire and fire the political plus some changes have been made to make things better but not nearly enough and no prizes for guessing why that is because well thank you very much thank you.
