where the rich and corporations and banks no longer have control of our political system the federal government and the political leaders in wall street were all tone deaf they could not hear this so the occupy movement has offered them a hearing aid and they're getting our message loud and clear now the purpose of this was to unite us in this space so if they want to arrest one of us after arrest all of us are not us and washington liz wall. well i don't forget her voice i've got the world covered for you on our website all dot com a quick look now at see what's waiting for you there right now if for example i've no idea the pentagon confirms older money kept in saddam hussein's bank account sounds stored in his baghdad palace has managed to believe in u.s. dollars just disappearing into the us. a whistle blowing in the

this summer police may use the spy cameras in their lympics anti terror tactics it'll leave no hiding place the drones can make out a car's number plate from heights of up to one kilometer privacy campaigners fear is the start of a slippery slope i think our salute tragedy for britain the largest part of the olympic legacy was a surveillance legacy where we have store all this equipment in the name of national security and then when the other bits are over we keep using it a spy in the skies been piloted before in britain by four police forces but never took off after one crashed into a river and the u.k. aviation authority failed to grant the necessary license that's the only legal requirement before this sort of surveillance becomes a reality at the olympics a minor hurdle for what's already britain's biggest peacetime security operation total cost over one point six billion dollars it is worrying that the security bill

has increased so drastically from initial estimates one of the reasons being given for this is so heightened risk of terrorism which seems incredible as an excuse at a time when the original estimates were made around the time of the london bombings when london was considered to be a very high risk give you an idea of the numbers take the olympic stadium capacity eighty thousand ground security at the games is enough to fill sixty percent of that inside the venue will be over twenty three thousand security guards along with seven and a half thousand military personnel and then outside a further six thousand troops along with twelve thousand police total just shy of fifty thousand but that still couldn't stop two fake bombs being sneaked in under the radar at the stadium. dummy runs not exactly great value for money london organizers have tried to play down fees the olympic village will be a siege city but with such

philippines which is offered to host more american troops in china daily has called for sanctions against the island nation for creating tension in the region. this year's first e.u. summit exposes deepening divisions within the union with production they'll grow even deeper despite most members agreeing to fiscal restrictions the critics say is an affront to sovereignty and democracy. coming up next we sit down with a m.e.p. martin from the u.k. conservative party to learn more about where the fallout of the year's first e.u. bloc summit will be felt for. today we're joined by more. conservative party and he's also the new head of the european. parliament thanks very much for joining us today the

first question is the e.u. . president. statement minister david cameron along with. merkel and said that quote our message is clear we have no quarrel with the iranian people but the 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 buying from iran but i think you know the overall. you know we have. twenty seven nations to the radio and

you know we really must. assure nuclear program it's unacceptable to the rest of the world for iran to acquire nuclear weapons but. right now you see. oil from iran. could possibly just step in and buy the oil that they want so how effective really will be. which of course. functioning democracies as well i'm sure other diplomatic pressure being applied to to maybe get them onboard 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 terms of pursuing this policy and 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 iran 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 that i mean this pipeline that you're referring to from us about 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 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 is not a majority i wouldn't read enough that there was only ten percent of it it is a key part of europe's attempt to diversify our energy sources and our energy base 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's 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. long enough even at the recent press conference of the. 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 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. 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 a 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. of other would be the further of funding mechanisms vailable for countries that need them with germany more than germany has said no to all of these suggestions and some would say that this behavior from germany is a can too. yeah. i would if i was a german politician i would.

look at the. to perceive. this is the fundamental problem with the. creation of it. and i hope they will also continue to resist as well so the. where does that. push this forward. asking myself what is the point of this. crisis at the moment the

next crisis five years down the right if countries are persuaded to rein in the. deficit going to take. to be implemented. countries that. provide a solution to a crisis that. is. distracting attention from the very real things that need to be done to solve the current crisis. instead of addressing the fundamental problems. the crisis in europe none of these issues are being addressed by this so i don't think it work and i think it's essentially pointless let's talk about the european the stability mechanism. this is the funding facility which will be 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 four. trillion euros do you think that. will be a big enough to question any impact that a possible default or euro exit may have on other countries. if if spain or italy runs into trouble you know you could look at the market down even those countries you can see that if i were not necessarily picking up but this is a matter for the eurozone countries themselves to be. fundamental structural problems namely in the euro zone. they're being seventeen different countries this is the difficulty with david cameron uses veto the. against any treaty changes because he failed to get guarantees to protect the interests of the u.k. particularly in the city of london and france is circulating its blueprint for

proposal on a new financial transaction tax how big of a deal do you think this could become our position is that we will not accept a financial transaction tax revenue you look. in any event in any event. because it's. you know it won't raise very much money it will just drive the institutions away to other jurisdictions like new york. something outside of the scope of this tax there are electronic transactions by the nature they can take place in many different locations across the world so we don't begin 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 the big banks. 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. 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.

powers that are already in the european union. i am known. as four shot four times in total and i have one as it were and. three of the balls are still in my body. then those people should be allowed to defend themselves were they are gone from the law abiding decent people are not a problem national rifle association person or group of basically retired
