you are still. welcome back here with our t. here's a look at the top stories syria still reeling from escalating brace of violence as it's widespread to new york where u.n. security council members seem unlikely to reach consensus on the. occupy d.c. protesters dig their heels in as they wait for a police crackdown after the deadline to leave by city authorities passes. a law and security goes a large for the upcoming summer olympics with tens of thousands of troops and high tech spy drones all that amid fears the spirit of the games will be damaged by the show for. the coming up next we sit down with martin calen from the u.k. conservative party to learn more about where the fallout of the year's first block

summit will be felt. today we're joined by martin. from the u.k. conservative party and he's also the new head of the european conservatives and a reformist group at the european parliament thanks very much for joining us today the first question is the e.u. . oil embargo on iran is this part of president and sanctions on the country over its controversial nuclear program i want a joint statement british prime minister david cameron along with french president . said that quote our message is clear we have no quarrel with the iranian people but the iranian leadership has failed to restore international confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of its nuclear program now at what cost to the european union is this message being delivered.

you have agreed that we are not going to buy any more oil from iran number of member states to have. reasonable reason be considered a purchase that they would have to stop by oil from iran but i think you know the overall. you know we have come together twenty seven nations say to the arabians you know we really must. assure the nuclear program it's unacceptable to the rest of the world for iran to acquire nuclear weapons but i will factor will the sanctions be right now you see india still buying oil from iran with gold and you have china could possibly just step in and buy the oil that the u.s. and the e.u. don't want so how effective really will the sanctions be countries like india which of course. functioning democracies as well i'm sure other diplomatic pressure being applied to that too to maybe get them on board with the with the regime as well you

know we have to be united as a world to say to iran this is unacceptable you will not be permitted to develop. nuclear weapons. we will leave no stone to the pursuing this policy of british petroleum or b.p. will be a british government as well as the e.u. have been lobbying u.s. lawmakers for an exception from another proposed new u.s. sanctions which seek to stop western companies from doing business with iran in particular this has to do with the shah denise project in azerbaijan iran has a ten percent stake in that while greece is now forced to find alternatives to almost one third of its oil imports from iraq even if it didn't want to to begin with and here you have the u.k. asking for an exception how can that be fair when we see if there is an exemption on this pipeline that you're referring to from ten percent owed by. iranian state assets so it's not clear what the exact effect will be on that but at the

same time you know as well as the sanctions on iran we also want to pursue. diversifying energy sources. for western europe this pipeline is a key part of that but it is rather hypocritical saying this is a message to iran there are going to be loopholes that we've accepted that there will be costs to to the west down on implementing this policy on this it could well be that this is one of the costs we have to bear but i think there's not a majority ready enough that there was only ten percent of it it is a key part of europe's attempt to diversify our energy sources and. i'm sure they will want to continue with this but further discussions will take place on exactly what happened to this particular project so basically what you're saying is it's ok to have sanctions against iran as long as it doesn't go against the goal of the e.u. to diversify its sources that would look like that that's the view that being taken but i think the detail the detail work a lot to be done on this you know none of the sanctions are taking effect until

august anyway let's talk about the euro zone this question has been asked so. long enough even at the recent press conference of the the i.m.f. journalist to get a straight answer of whether or not greece will default or exit from the euro so what do you think will there be a greece default or a euro exit i can give you my opinion but i think they will default you know effectively. that's being imposed on the bondholders at the moment many could argue that that's effectively a default anyway. maybe your question is. will it be an uncontrolled credit event i just know. i don't know what is clear to me is the current debt. is unsustainable. in my view that debt will have to be reduced considerably one way of doing it would be for them to default on the euro i did my view that it's probably the most effective way of doing that and at the same time helping to save the rest

of the eurozone but you know i'm not a member of the country that is part of the euro zone so euro zone themselves but that seems to me to be the way that we're heading. that we delay this process the difficulties of being told that the u.k. wants to have a say what. we can give our opinions but you know we did not join the euro in the first place we advised against the euro being created. pointed out to many pitfalls that there would be along the way it looks like finding out the hard way that you know you can compress seventeen countries economic policies into one currency zone while still operating seventeen different economic policies well there are still some people who would argue that there are other solutions to this crisis one of which would be the issuance bonds and other would be the further of funding mechanisms vailable for countries that need them would germany contributing more and germany has said no to all of these

suggestions and some would say that this behavior from germany is akin to bow. yeah . i would if i was a german politician i would. look at the fundamental democratic. perceive. this is the fundamental problem with the eurozone that was never resolved at the creation of it. and i hope they will also continue to resist as well so that. where does that.

push this forward are you. asking myself what is the point of this. crisis at the moment the next crisis five years down the road if countries are persuaded to rein in the. deficit this is going to take. to be implemented by. a. country is that it. is going to provide a solution to a crisis that could explode in the next month or two. this is not. the whole thing it is distracting attention from the very real things that need to be done to solve the current crisis. navel gazing of rewriting treaties and agreeing. instead of addressing the fundamental problem which is europe.

crisis in europe none of these issues are being addressed by this fiscal pact so i don't think it work and i think it's essentially pointless let's talk about the european stability mechanism. this is the funding facility which will be launched and put into place in the target is to have five hundred billion euros in funds that will be available for countries that may need it in the future and also the e.c.b. is asking a for that amount to a trillion euros do you think that. will be a big enough far wall to question any impact that a possible default or euro exit may have on other countries. clearly not if if spain or italy runs into trouble you know you could look at the margin debt outstanding in those countries you can see that if i was not necessarily picking up but this is a matter for the eurozone countries themselves to it was all going to be essential

fundamental structural problems in the in the euro zone. you know that being seventeen different countries this is the difficulty with david cameron uses veto with the e.u. summit against any treaty changes because he says he failed to get guarantees to protect the interests of the u.k. particularly of the city of london and france is circulating its blueprint for proposal on a new financial transactions tax how big of a deal do you think this could become our position is that we will not accept a financial transactions tax revenue you look. in any event in any event no negotiations. because it's pointless to get it you know it won't really raise very much money it will just drive the institutions away to other jurisdictions like new york figure poor old geneva or something outside of the scope of this tax there are electronic transactions by the nature that can take place in many different locations across the world so we don't they're going to raise very much money we

think will be bad for european business. we think it's unfairly targeted it will be paid by. individual investors. will be clever enough to. operate on a worldwide basis it will be. effective so they are the new. people what is this. realistic acceptance of the limits of european integration. to. make you know. statements. about european integration. with the euro zone crisis. we could make.

maybe some european. areas. sticking to their fundamental national democratic principle which is the basic building block of the european union so what are the. before. that already in the european union.

eh eh.
