some of the headlines around here are now taking a blow for nicolas sarkozy losing out the socialist candidate in the first round of the french presidential election the pair set the face off in the second stage in the final not seen becomes the first french new to fail to win the first round one in fifty years. new concern from u.s. soldiers over the pendants of antidepressants during service eight fold increase since two thousand five hundred thousand military personnel affected. and syrian rebels refused to dance two of coron children says to the truth eventually as a way to resolve the conflict the un has deployed three hundred unarmed observers

to syria last ditch attempt to oversee a cease fire. that's the french debate under sect the first round of sunday's a presidential election we talked to a member of the socialist party a moment and keeps his views on the second stage right oftentimes not huge challenges the country is facing. today we're joined by a good law he's been a member of the french socialist party since one nine hundred eighty seven he's also been a member of the european parliament from two thousand and four to two thousand and nine and today he's the spokesperson of the socialist party that of french presidential candidate francois hollande thank you very much and someone for joining us today first question would be of course on the future of france there are two top candidates now the socialist francois hollande and income that nicolas sarkozy over kind of france are we going to see with presidency.

probably a front that's a much fairer a much more egalitarian than it is today of france when here today is significantly poorer than it was five years ago which is probably lost her influence in the world with for example the failure of the union for the mediterranean she's lost much of her influence in europe and the best example of this is how angular merkel and nicolas sarkozy have agreed on a draft european treaty which is very favorable to german interests and very unfavorable to the interests of the rest of europe france is mostly very divided as we hear it and today the task. will be to somehow repair rebuild and assemble the french to avoid opposition to one another this is why his political project is intended primarily to address inequality and. so you're talking about redefining reestablishing france as a role in influencing europe when you bring up the treaty of does want to

renegotiate the fiscal part agreed upon by e.u. leaders but how much leverage does he really have he's going to go up against german chancellor i'm glad merkel and let's be frank of what she was usually a very important role in decision making but. his message is clear if the treaty is not we negotiated this will not ratify it and therefore it cannot come into force if michael wants to impose fiscal discipline in the euro zone area we will require a growth measurement of treaty where now there is no we want to make progress on euro bonds we want to expand the role of the european central bank there's no question for us that we would not accept a treaty that will result in austerity measures in france and throughout europe at the same time most of our growth is related to trade with you if the french cannot buy companies can't invest because of mysterious policies there our neighbors can either buy in or invest either because they too practice austerity we believe that

merkel is prepared to hear that we're simply saying that the treaty cannot proceed only under the terms of germany's economy in fact this treaty does not benefit your talian economy nor the spanish nor the french economy our great regret is that nicolas sarkozy has not defended the interests of the french economy all the economies of european countries sarkozy agreed to sign a treaty to appear a protector of france europe and of the euro zone for simple public relations purposes he signed a treaty that we consider bad because it focuses only on austerity with the exclusive with. what we're talking about a sturdy are you against all types of belt tightening nationals do you not see any merit so we're talking about growth measures bringing it up what does it really mean. we want a real industrial policy based on a new instrument in public finance a public investment bank we will develop tools that allow us to compete with other

european countries but also with countries outside the european union or new york that well let's talk about immigration and other presidential candidates such as the national front and even the glass breaking up the problem of immigration now using this as a campaign plight what is your view on immigration in france in general and in particular illegal immigration. because of the when you go quite honestly immigration you know economic and social problem is primarily a political problem in many european countries issue is systematically used to say that immigration is a threat to the country when you talk about immigration they usually do you know arab african and muslim this is the way people approach the immigration question in a political debate in france and europe in france where the president of the republic said that was nothing but a caricature as it will reach the point where

a great number of anglo-saxon newspapers can no longer see the difference between what marina and nicolas sarkozy say about islam and immigration. this is a major setback for france to see that the president today finds inspiration in the program of france's far right. this is a very great step back of what we're saying is that we need to discuss the conditions of economic migration and the needs of different sectors of the french economy if we must add rules to be canonical immigration we will do so we don't want to make immigration issue used to divide and frighten the french this is a serious matter that must be treated as such and must be subjected to political economic and social responses it should not be a subject used by nicolas sarkozy while a pen to win votes and raise racism in france for five years the french reality is the rights of intolerance and violence is perhaps more races now than it was five years ago yes there's discrimination in hiring yes there's discrimination in access

to housing and yes there's discrimination in access to leisure it depends on whether you have a white face like mine it anyway in a position like mine with a socialist party all your name is cadia of arab or north african origin or omar from mali but i think with a little let's talk about nato and air france's. campaigns in various countries launder wants to withdraw more troops in afghanistan earlier than planned however who doesn't want to withdraw pull out france completely from nato. but. for regarding nato we want to evaluate the decisions made by nicolas sarkozy to rejoin the integrated military command of nato we're not sure that our reintegration into the military command has had the expected results above all what we regret is that there has been no strong initiative of france in favor of

a genuine european defense system for five years we do not believe today that european defense and protection of the broader strategic interests of europe and the european union can be supported only by nato we consider it necessary to develop autonomous structures that's why we insist on developing a european defense we will evaluate the benefits and drawbacks involved with the return of the integrated military commander of nato and as you said in connection with our allies so as not to destabilize nato in afghanistan we will withdraw our troops from afghanistan before the end of twenty twelve. ok you want to reassess their francis and fast or large ones cooperation on this european their defense system however while pulling out troops in afghanistan earlier than planned that sour relationships with britain or germany for example who are investing a lot in that effort. now i think our analysis is that our military

intervention is not able to add a value that allows a peaceful solution to the crisis of the conflict in afghanistan by our military intervention where we lost the ability to act on political and diplomatic levels we want to regain freedom and room to maneuver politically and diplomatically in order to find a solution together with major regional players in a conflict that requires to first withdraw our troops from afghanistan where we believe that a military solution is doomed to deadlock. we do not believe that the solution to the conflict in afghanistan requires a military only approach otherwise we would have solved the conflict already the last synchronized attacks by the taliban in many parts of afghanistan show that there is no longer any area in afghanistan today that is truly a protective order from so europe must find ways to influence the immediate neighbors of afghanistan a larger regional players in order to find a political solution to the afghan conflict a military operation must one day come to an end and we think it is now time for

that. with a goal of. talking about political solutions does that apply as well syria for example. north syria is on the edge of civil war the proof is that despite b.n. and plan there are still dozens and dozens of deaths hundreds of deaths i want to come to talk about the role of russia in this matter by its place in the security council and through its role it can play by the syrian regime russia is in a key positions unlock the syrian situation and to avoid a bloodbath and civil war both at levels of bilateral franco russian relations and on the level of the e.u. russia relationship we want to ritually tennis association with russia we also want to roll on the international scene to contribute just ability. we can understand the historical relations of the russian state with the syrian state but today

russia is a destabilizing factor in his country but also the whole region we must respond in a concerted and coordinated way between russia and european union france and permanent members of the security council can a military intervention go through nato in syria at this point it seems premature and this is where the plan by kofi annan opened the possibility of a political solution with the involvement of observers in fact considering the number of observers who will go there and the difficulty in verifying whether or not atrocities are committed against civilians should be a strong force in place to ensure that observers really do observe what happens for . france played a very big. intervention. in libya we played two different worlds at one point nicolas sarkozy wanted to sell nuclear power plants to gadhafi then he bombed gadhafi when you're

a friend of nicolas sarkozy always be wary. it shows the completely incoherent nature of nicolas sarkozy's foreign policy i think the intervention in libya was a necessary because gadhafi used his own forces and bombs against his own people. but that doesn't mean that the situation is now stabilized we observe that the movement of weapons in a so held region is linked to the consequences of the conflict in libya this helps to arm groups like. a year in islamic maghreb some of the events in mali related to what happened in libya therefore we need stabilization policies growth and development here too france has intervened to help end the gadhafi regime but the french development aid to developing countries fell from the north point seven percent to north point four percent of our g.d.p. so we give weapons but we don't help the development growth and job creation and as we know if there are weapons and no jobs there will be no more instability cross

what arms ambition is to focus on stabilizing the margaret north africa region because it's a hotbed of potential unrest for europe and beyond including much of the african continent. thanks. for your time and for giving us a central point.
