you talk about french sovereignty what exactly do you mean in the context of today's globalized world france is not free anymore because the whole leaders. are a limited by. the european union which is the not elected by anybody. it's none democratic. or poor and i want to restore democracy in france i want the president the new president can be good or to decide for french people or. restore civility to restore a fight against an opponent to the decider for control done with me like you know all the country in the world except europe european union countries. if europe is going so wrong and spain greece italy

and france is this because the pour has been shared between menu two regions. the poor is. separated there is no. global police and we lost our capacity ability to change things so the french people is very upset because nothing change i can take an example security we have no any more control or border. you know border. control so our arms are in a free country there is many murder in the south of france because we don't control how border since ten years it's not possible in russia you control your borders not in france anymore i want france to control this territory does

that mean you want france to be isolated if you want that kind of sovereignty for your country no we can be free to the work with the whole france. britain germano the swedish people all of us know you pull on as no europe indian there's no europe and it's a part of the world. i want just friends to restore it's a suffering i want french people to decide for himself. i had many successes when they decide friends decide for yourself based on what you're saying do you want out of the year or do you want out of europe are together for me europe can change europe i like europe france is not able to do everything i want to cooperate so i want this europe but they want i don't want

a europe where there is twenty person. who are not. like in soviet union before exactly the same mind that they know for people. middle militant. they are often. under the influence of for financial interests is a decidedly thing it's not possible anymore and now you're arguing against study evils of the free market so to speak but the world has moved forward in terms of globalization you think it's a bit too late at this point that it's moved to progress there forward a little too much to take that step backwards as the world is globally global there is globalisation but you know clearly. jap and argentina brazil. are open of the world but the defense

and said. russia has its own policy and the never accept the russian people will never accept that its interests its own interests can be decided by somebody outside the country will do nothing that france benefit at all from the free market i am not against the free market i am against. the free market with a system which is forbidden to defense of self i am not a gets free market but in the free market we need to have a strategy it could be something strategic in france as no strategic france is. we cannot do anything because we need to ask

brazil but who is brazil i'm nobody. you will never accept the russian people will never accept to be different like we are from here also for withdraw from nato or you're not worried that in the interest of france need any help you may not be able to rely on your current partner safin do so i agree. i dance i will i want to stay in the ions but they don't want to see how force the american decision we have an interest in africa for example i don't want to be in afghanistan because the sainted troops in afghanistan it's a failure it's a dramatic failure. i want my country decide where to go in. was a great president and he refused to go in iraq. he refused and he was right. i

want to be free as a people french people to decide where we want to go up against the sides distant system it's a crazy thing i know you agree with. we are we are all nuclear decision. and we need to keep it and i am against this american defense and any size i think we have to work with. because the the we are very complimentary between russia france germany and we are to work together instead of the european continent and just looking at your background you were a part of the system so to speak you're a member of the union for a popular movement or you were paid the ruling party so what does that say about your credibility you're now denouncing the system that you were part of it at some point oh no i was elected i was member of the party and i always fight the

street and i fight the euro system with. the european constitution and we won the french referendum in two to five so i was always in the same so i tried in the system to change the system. i tried to say people french people we should resist we should have to all in policy. i couldn't do it in system so when it was this was for france i said. i cannot accept that. left this party you know create in my party and let's talk about what happened to lose the government had killed seven people there he is an immigrant said background what do you think this incident represents it represents

a danger but i was the i left it for ten years. so the french government we need to control our borders so you're saying it's a problem of immigration no it's a problem of security because you have many french people who are coming from missing in country were very crime. so many soldiers in afghanistan died and they were from the integration so there is no problem a feeling. if we have a state controlled things but they don't accept that. in the immigration system there are some people who don't respect the french will insist it will have been. exposed. to french in their country but the government did nothing in ten years and now they discover the program so we need to integrate people with friends and we. don't respect to go back and we were taught people from

the french suburbs many of them feel that they are rejected by the system many of them are from immigrant backgrounds and all feel part of france how do you propose to address this problem of course because because unemployment in the school which is not enough. for them stretch unemployment but school and you have the result. we need to go the french work we don't need to separate work and we need to control our borders to restrict immigration of course but just to clarify when you're talking about integration you're saying that it boils down to dealing with unemployment and education of course not not that we can accept immigration and when you have a job in your country you can accept me question if you as a if you have a good school you say to young people you're french and you're going to learn

french but. if the school is not good is there is no job it's crazy to accept more and more people it's not a question of people it's a question of what you do in your country it's a question of balance i need balance and it's not about the french elections do you think that the voters now in france are gearing towards the more extreme of the political spectrum perhaps getting tired disillusioned by centrist ideas and therefore are looking to the far left or to the far right of course of course because if fairly they govern given thirty years social is probably right partly always the same policy the european. quickly put it so french people say we're going to the rest extreme a of extreme right let me. rephrase in the system but i am saying to french people we can create

a patriotic. political force which is not extreme we can reject we can reject the system but we can do a nice bridge put it like google do it it's possible you don't need to go to extremes to change france we can change for it to be. reasonable all right thanks very much mr deprived africa time thank you. one. hundred. fifty years. clean five forty acres and nineteen ninety three and decided it would be a great place to find myself

a home and retire. there she is what. we call it our new neighbor neighbor guy knows that. we have seventy acres and i can't convince them that they need to drill somewhere besides two hundred feet from. the needs of our growing economy also means expanding our domestic production of oil and natural gas which are vital fuel for transportation electricity and manufacturing for any problems of this before we do the right people and then mr cheney. you know our flaws are not toxic and we get a lot of there's a lot of missed understanding of what act is actually in the floats. trying to say you cannot hear in the way of you come out here and live in my house for a week. i have no rights. to.
