capture the power of nature. one of the five stars of fruits and it imitates the gentle breezes of summer hora whose name means great hunter the first piece of. her. there are special instruments that accompany the singing if danny says there is even a legend about his instrument a gill it says once there lived a poor shefford who had the best horse that won every competition but jealous people killed it on the horse was revived as an instrument book it was it of so pitiful is because of the spirit of the horse going to his dream he said make an instrument from the tree the sounding board from the leather on my face the strings on my tail and to remember me make an engraving of my head part of the instrument

he did so we called the instrument a good deal which means come back and this melody only instrument is called cry over again. today i'm talking to daniel had a conservative member of the european parliament he's about to bring his euro skepticism to the heart of brussels mr howe thanks for talking to us now apparently doing the rounds in brussels is a popular joke which says that if the european union was a country applying to join itself it would be rejected for not being democratic enough it's an amazing thing and we've stopped being amazed by it simply. because

of familiarity but we should be shocked by it that the only body that can propose new legislation in the european you is the unelected european commission if any country were run by if supreme power wielded by twenty seven people were immune to the ballot box that would be regarded as an outrage. and yet the people who talk most fervently about turning the e.u. into something like a super state are remarkably relaxed about the undemocratic nature of it and from that basic lack of democracy you get the contempt for popular opinion you get the way swaps aside referendum results if they go the wrong way and you get a sense that public opinion is an obstacle to overcome rather than a reason to change direction it is an extraordinary and sad paradox that twenty seven countries each of them a liberal parliamentary democracy in its own right have come together and accepted a system that would make zimbabwe look democratic and how did that happen exactly

was its kind of creeping takeover by technocrats i think the origins actually go back to the very beginning of the european union the founding fathers had had a very mixed experience of democracy is especially of the referendum plebiscite re kind of numb ocracy that existed in the one nine hundred thirty s. they sort of mock or see as opposed to i would go so far so they were anti democratic but they saw it is a potentially dangerous force that could lead to demagoguery to fascism to war and so they were quite open about deliberately vesting supreme power in the hands of why technocratic experts who wouldn't have to worry about public opinion would be able to take the tough decisions and of course you know there is no such person as the wise disinterested expert they all have their prejudices they all have their assumptions and freed from the constraints of public opinion they were able to get on with creating an almost autocratic system which has stayed in large measure in place to this day which is why you know when people vote against it that is seen as

the beginning of the argument rather than as it would be in a proper democracy the end of the argument you've recently released a book under the title a dim marriage which is about the relationship between the e.u. and the u.k. why did you decide to give the subtitle is britain and europe is not a is not a. marriage guidance piece although well it's an interesting one i read the review of work by a marriage guidance counselor i didn't read the book but i read the review said something fascinating. it said that a relationship can take a lot of arguing that rouser not a bad thing because if you are arguing with your husband or wife it suggests that you care enough about his or her view that you want to change it it's when the rowels give way to contempt when the stormy sessions fall silent and give way to scorn the relationship is over and i think something similar has happened even in the time that i've been an m.e.p. when i was first elected constituents would write to me very angrily and say

outrageous that the budget is an approved outrage is that all the money is being spent on these agricultural and foreign aid boondoggles outrages that the system is so undemocratic and now what you get much more often is a kind of you know what you expect the whole system is russian and that's when you realize that the marriage is over and i think it's just a question of time and how we how we negotiate the most amicable divorce you've even gone as far as to cool the relationship between you're a craps and ordinary that is abusive yes in the sense that the ordinary voter if you like the vote i mean will not go in the order of the voter is seen as an inconvenience is seen as a problem you know when i think back to the way in which the french and dutch referendums were greeted six years ago. every single speaker with two exceptions in the entire european parliament stood up to say how do we get around this problem you know why did they get it wrong how do we how do we really educate voters you

know i was reminded of those that eerie poem by bertold brecht where he says wouldn't it therefore be easier to dissolve the people and elect another in their place and that it didn't occur to anybody that the people have spoken and that therefore the politicians should listen talk to me about your assertion that it was brussels backed coups that toppled george papandreou in greece and still there is going e in it's a what proof do you have of that well in two countries a an elected prime minister was removed from office and replaced with a technocrat who had never stood for office in his life not just a technocrat for your account in greece it was the former head of the euro the former vice president of european central bank in italy it was a former european commissioner mario monti who as well as appointing yourself as prime minister appoint himself finance minister giving a whole new meaning to the phrase the full monty and didn't have a single elected doesn't have a single elected politician in the italian government right now both in the case of the property most administration in greece and the monti administration initially

we were told that these were national governments that was the phrase used. and yet the whole purpose of these governments was to push through a program that would be rejected by the nation in a general election so if you like the the the last shreds of pretense were said to the velvet glove was taken off of the iron fist underneath which i'm sure you then have what was always implicit but is now explicit which is apparatchiks in brussels ruling directly through apparatchiks in rome and in athens with the people and their elected representatives cut out altogether i saw last week that mario monti said he might seek a second term i don't remember him saying in the first from your description it sounds terrifying easy for brussels today that what steps see your across have to take these were civilian jumpers ok it is true that the letter of constitutional propriety was observed in the sense that parliament in both cases indorse the new

government that's the case with every dictatorship starting from napoleon they always manage to get the parliamentary vote in their favor the reality is that we're dealing with administrations that have been imposed on countries because keeping those countries in new york was thought to be more important than allowing them to vote for the policies they want we do appear to be drawing nearer to a referendum on whether the u.k. should stay in the european union what would it take do you think for the government to take that final step well politicians in my experience feel the heat before they see the light i don't think any political party likes referendums to be honest because politicians are instinctively mistrustful of a process whose outcome they can't control nonetheless they all see that there is big public demand. people want to be consulted they feel that it's a huge issue you know what country you want to put on to and that it's insulting and wrong not to allow people the referendum which all three parties were recently promising and all three have managed to draw back from i'll go so far as to say

that the party which gets there first will probably win the next election so the people who feel strongly about this may be a minority but they are not an insignificant minority and it's a vote determining issue for the chunk of the electorate. and so it's almost i suppose like a kind of game theory like a prisoner's dilemma ny the party desperately wants a referendum but neither can afford to let the other get there first what kind of referendum dean supporters simple in or out or a more complex construct i think ultimately there will have to be an in out referendum i think it's the only one that makes sense you can't offer people something that you haven't yet negotiated or something that isn't in your gift to deliver i mean if you had a referendum and said wouldn't it be great if we opted out of all the following areas but remained in the free market will you know idea whether the e.u. is going to give you that and so you that that's a meaningless question unless the renegotiation has already been completed by then and that's how i think it it should happen let me be is generous as i can do people want to stay in and it's fair about this is like and. if the problem is timing

and what is going to emerge from the eurozone crisis because that's what we're told no one now admits to being against a referendum in principle what they're all there now saying is now isn't the right time we've got to see what emerges fine if that's the case then pre-announce now and pretty legislate now for a referendum to take place in the say twenty sixteen ok that's plenty of time you've then got four years you supporters of membership to come back with a deal that you reckon you can sell to the british people. and the fact that you preannounced that referendum means that all of the other member states also understand that if you don't get the deal that you can sell to the country the alternative is that we leave and we negotiate something differently from the outside i think if you did that then it is even possible that you could succeed in getting something along the lines of a swiss deal without calling it leaving i mean it is then becomes a presentational question whether you call it associate membership or whatever but what is absolutely certain is that if our own civil servants and if the other

member states do not understand that it's either a renegotiation or exit there will be no significant improvement in our terms of membership what about was all three parties saying and they which is you know we've got this crisis going on our main priority should be to reduce the deficit we don't have the time with inclination now to talk about having me referendum is wonderful isn't it we were told for twenty years that now was not the right time for a referendum because europe wasn't an issue and now we're told now it's a wrong time because europe is an issue you know the eurozone crisis and all this i mean it's the ultimate yes minister argument you know perfectly good idea in principle minnesota perhaps now is not the most propitious occasion if not now when you know the eurozone crisis has wrecked the premise on which we joined it's falsified our membership terms europe is collapsing as a share of our exports the rest of the world is increasing almost by the minute as a share of our trade. the reason that we went in in the first place in the early

seventy's in the argument has been deployed for nearly forty years has now been made redundant by the collapse of the eurozone economy and the mulish insistence of the euro zone governments on accelerating all the policies that have created the crisis that now is the time for us to raise our eyes to more distant horizons and remember it's the wider world daniel had on thank you very much thank you. on the march under god these men and women are walking one of the longest and probably the loneliest road in the world they're reenacting the march into exile made by thousands and czarist russia. if i was here three hundred years ago i may have disappeared my local lord i may have deserted from the army or a variety of other crimes the result was the same like my fellow prisoners around

me i've got a long and very cold walk ahead into exile in siberia yet it took them years to get there summers and winters entire years a lot of people died on the way this group in the western siberian region of omsk discovered they're living on the only surviving stretch of the original nine thousand kilometers of the siberian exiles track that's had no modern changes made to it yevgeny discovered that he's descended from some of these exiles and decided to build a museum telling a story he and his re-enact is now receiving to us from all over the world to show them what it was like for these bodies going is that it's scary to put the shackles on of course but it's interesting if we don't remember our history we will have no future. it's a monument to one of the restructures cruelest chapters. the city served as the capital of anticommunist white russian leader admiral culture shock in the civil war from one thousand nine hundred to nine hundred nineteen whilst in residence he

lived here though the study of the man like the maintenance of this building has remained a taboo right up until the present day or we still receive hate mail saying that he hanged a lot of people and was famous for severe punishment it's all true but it was at a time of civil war both sides were monstrously cruel it is sadly the theme of cruelty which links so. much of history to the rest of russia particularly of exile where they were not. used to do. you believe.

the global noise like to say no to you all staring. off your neighbor thirty countries with the euro bang the loudest and angry and that's as they used to give little. democracy and really conciliation on the continent. turkey is closing its airspace to syrian civilian floods in a tit for tat nude model and also previously grounding a syrian jad did suspected of carrying russian weapons to damascus the conflict on nations neighborhoods mean wall bolstering their ministries along dead border. and one of the pussy riot punk group members walks free but badly made to stay behind boss the women away sentenced him to get as in prison coppola going to them

because all three sets were very close and he had so many match points and opportunities to finish the match so i could have easily been a runner up today but. i'm very. for all the for all of my fights and believing you know coming back from for match points down winning this match. now to formula one and defending champion sebastian vettel has changed a dominant victory at the korean grand prix to i would say for all respond to alonzo at the top of the dry the standings with just four races to go the german started second behind red bull team mate mark webber but took the lead only on and eventually won by an eight second margin to claim his third win in a row and become the first driver to win four races this season however the second one to walk along his own third internet sensation seemed up p.s.y. waving checkered flag pole battle is now six points clear of a long so in the driver's championship with a maximum one hundred points available from the remaining four races in india have a dab in the usa and brazil as the red bull driver

on tuesday russia has held an open training session here in moscow and manager fabio capello is looking to maintain his one hundred percent competitive record after the national side have won. three of their qualifying matches so far scoring seven goals and conceding no one to secure a top spot in group best for russia asked three points clear of christiane iran out of his portugal one they'll also spoke on thursday but russia's next opponents azerbaijan didn't play this week and they also managed to keep portugal i base the sixty four minutes before leading three goals in their three nil defeat in braga last month. now with sixteen months to go until the such a winter olympics i.o.c. supreme lord carey believes these will be a games to remember as the triple alembic screen child been told our own robots but i am. a great challenge for a big country in twenty four thousand this southern russian city of sochi will host the first winter olympics in the country's history. it is to be

a well known seaside town but now with massive olympic preparations the future of the city itself is under construction benefits of having had the games will be there for ever in my opinion sort of it's a it's a chance for this region today everyone in the world knows where searching is on the map i believe it's almost unique in the world because you have trees where the hockey tournament is going to be played and then twenty five minutes later by train a. fabulous ski resort this is very specific it's the sounds of russia it's very comparable to a place like this in france where you swim in the morning you wear your skin the morning and swim in the afternoon after a. while and. the world we know about it very soon holding the winter olympics in the southern climate is what makes the sochi games

so special and so challenging three time olympic outpoint ski jumping around and currently the chairman of the olympic ordination commission is uncle kili is sure winter will be there as soon as it's needed even despite the fact this could be the hottest winter olympics ever the snow is going to be made whenever it's possible. and today you can stall keep the snow and the protection during the summer and then use it for example in ski jump you can use it whenever you you want or need it. obviously that's the lessons from vancouver the source she deems are also set to create some brand new experiences in olympic history something to make them through a year. nick the most compact games ever most athletes skills which grew. out of the chalet put their skis on and there are hockey player will walk to the

ring as skaters. which is incredible. i don't think we have we have ever had that before while the sochi twenty fourteen official slogan was also revealed only twenty fifth of september hot to us i think it is terrific absolutely terrific because it's. it's a winter summer. yours it's north solves it's. snow ice and yours and it's. i think it's one way to say the rest of the world is going to be welcome. to searching yours that's a gift form of worship to the rest of the world and the best present would be for russia to do their first winter olympics into the best games ever.

r.t. . and finally let's talk about take boxing as moscow has hosted the sevens w five fight a tournament where despite one of the being claimed by a men's world champion it was two female fighters who stole the show as a clutch ells reports. kickboxing fans were in for a treat as they got to witness the seventh edition of the international w five it's a series with the first of the three main events beginning to believe as russian. demonstrated how to put on a show with bono oddly entrance or does she want a more low key fight between slovakia and. zero point decision despite not fighting at her best. was just enough that i wasn't really focused on the fight so i didn't really push my limits i think it performed about fifty to eighty percent of what i can do i'm not very happy about it because she told me what to do but for

whatever reason i didn't i just panicked because i didn't start the fight the way i was planning to was no i just lost focus. but still in the law and it was world and european markets are champion you could say the no one died evil as she also proved to dominance in this john against larkin new for you a bunch of the better russian was in control from the start but despite heavy pressure her opponent managed to hold on until the end of one birdie four one three rounds in the score card to add another victory to her and they have the option to open it's really high because it is strictly might a fighter and that's why i have claimed all my wall in european winning records but on this fight i can use my albums or a kick that i mean is to use the last three weeks you can please me realize my tactics although it was. only the beginning and there is still a lot of work to do. and in the last fight of the night for more world champion registrar for sure bullets dutchman manager tom who was saved by the bell in the
