around the world on screen online international news and comment live from on you sent to him in moscow this is. police in moscow have detained. over acid attack that nearly blinded the artistic director of the bolshoi ballet. dancer pavel dmitrichenko is the latest suspect detained in the case that has put the spotlight on him fighting one of the world's biggest and best known theaters he's an enigma has been following developments. investigators have that were handed to pavel dmitrichenko the bolshoi soloist dancer whom they suspect of being the mastermind behind the attack earlier on tuesday they have also arrested two other men not connected with the bolshoi theater whom they suspect of actually carrying out the attack and now the attack on sergei filin has happened on january seventeenth happened at night friday outside of his house when he was coming home from work he described as having stepped out of his car and then i was approached

by an assailant and masked us a little splash still for an acid into space to verily burning of course his face and his eyes he had to go to undergo more than ten surgeries we were told today in order to save his eyesight but it does seem like he is on his way to recovery right now in a clinic in germany now he is the artistic director of the bolshoi theatre ballet troupe that means that he literally has the chance to make or break a career of the dam search and the investigators from the very beginning have been saying that they believe the attack has been connected with sergei filin separate session the two parties there's a lot of competitiveness inside the ballet troupe there has been talk about bribes about threats being made by some of the dancers significant others or husbands towards the artistic directors of the bolshoi theater there has been instances of dresses being cut or even glass being stuffed stuffed into the dancing shoes of the ballet dancers and of course this is the latest development is just the latest in

a string of events which have been happening in the bush over the past couple of years there was one incident with a man who was expected to become the director of the bolshoi theater who was well on his way to go in the poaching that feeds when pornographic pictures of him have surfaced on the internet essentially ending his career still for all the beauty that we have on the outside there's actually quite a bit of rather unsightly goings on inside the bolshoi theater. bankers' bonuses can never be too big so that's the view of the u.k. authorities who oppose the plans for curbs britain's foreign minister has given a resolute mood to the blocks planned to prevent bankers from receiving bonuses bigger than their base salaries ortiz police reports from london now on the reaction that this is a measure that's likely to be quite popular with a lot of the general public because a lot of very hard working people that find it very hard just to get by on their

every day wages if we compare the figures in two thousand and two the overall bonuses paid out to bank is in the u.k. were around seven billion pounds whereas most recently that figure has gone up to seen billion pounds and that's something that quite a great swathe of the general public for a very hard to stomach at a time when wages are forming and the price of the centuries are going after all of the time because of inflation so while george osborne says that this is a way to really save the financial services industry and it would be crippling for britain to have this cap imposed a lot of critics would say that this is the chancellor just trying to protect the bankers that would ultimately then vote for the conservative party at the next general election what many people here in the u.k. are also saying is that this could really be the tipping point for the e.u. and britain that this could be an issue that could really force the britain to

think about other potential ways of isolating themselves father and perhaps even a british exit from the european union. british conservative m.p. brooks newmark told me earlier that the prospect of bankers leaving london is much worse than public outrage at their excessive pay packets. we're well aware of the toxicity of this issue and we're well aware of the insensitivity of many bankers some of the big banks in terms of the way they have rewarded themselves given these times of what's starting but there is a practical problem which is that the people who are in banks and banks themselves are very mobile so they can go anywhere in the world they don't need to be in london or paris or frankfurt or even zurich for that matter they can go anywhere and do their business because most business is done online or on a telephone or can be done abroad city of london is

a hugely important center for us in terms of our expertise it contributes a huge amount to the extract and if we damage that by trying to penalize those who actually do you know do do a good job within their banking institutions and we're going to drive that business away i do not want to see the business driven away and a lot of this decision making is being done by those countries that do not have as large a financial center as we've got. a deep delve into the finances of the e.u. and elsewhere across the globe in the latest edition of artie's kaiser report now here's a preview of the program and that is coming up in the next hour. why are the truckers on drugs why the stockbrokers not so much cocaine why do the brokers and bankers at j.p. morgan a government saxon barclays royal bank of scotland why are they sniff their weight and coke every morning just to get started to begin their day rampaging through the

markets stealing people's wealth because they are being treated like rats by the pharmaceutical companies to get them into a state of perpetual larceny and it's working. because a report coming away very soon here in r.t. north korea has threatened to end the decades long cease fire with its southern neighbor if it goes ahead with its joint military drills with the u.s. pyongyang also cited the u.s. led attempts to slap it with sanctions as being behind the decision it comes as washington is eyeing up more punishment for north korea described as some of the toughest ever imposed by the u.n. resolution is expected to be passed later this week wolf for more on the story i'm joined by eric weingarten he's editor of the can call reporter website a canadian information service on north korea eric you've been to the country many times tell us give us an idea of just what effect these sanctions are having at the

moment on the country. well to tell you the truth the last time i was there in november and not for about two years i expected to see more hardship and i saw at least in the city you have. huge number of new buildings that have. other buildings that are under construction you have new transit buses on the roads you have people using cell phones everywhere even texting wrist folds. i seen that kind of. prosperity and young young this last time that i never saw before so what i ask myself sort of happened with all the sanctions that are supposed to work tighten their belts what exactly was going to ask you what men for the next round of sanctions what sort of impact will lay have well as far as i have seen so far i mean it's the usual sanctioning illicit activities of north korean diplomats sanctioning elicit

a bulk cash transfers and that sort of thing which already is sanctions by and large i think this is all cosmetic this is. the united states trying to put some pressure on and not really having a policy on where to go next so nothing's going to stop north korea then pursuing its nuclear weapon program i don't think i don't think so unless there is a real new sense of the future of negotiations that would be beneficial for them right now what you have this basically the international community pointing its finger and saying bad boy and slapping on war and more details on the sanctions the countries already had more sanctions country in the world so sanctions have failed and i think sanctions are going to continue to fail a lot of talk about military action against iran for its nuclear ambitions why not

north korea then isn't the military option the next one. well that really i mean don't forget you have some of the biggest players around especially china was not going to stand by and and have any kind of major military action happening. i don't see. even that south korea or japan would like to get involved in a hot war interesting to talk about china at that but let's just talk about that chinese relationship we're seeing with the the u.s. now because the chinese are cooperating with this round of new sanctions which are due to be announced by the end of the week well china wants to pose as a regional leader in doubt region and doesn't want to have the united states take that role on and sideline and so in a sense they're playing ball at the u.n.

security council but at the same time they keep as a sizing that what they are in it. what they are interested in is regional stability and so what ever sanctions they agreed to they are also making sure that this doesn't somehow disrupt stability in order to in danger of the actual regime in north korea they do not want to see a collapse of the north korean regime so they will be going along as much as they can because they have also relationships with south korea and japan and they are very careful about those relationships which are for them very profitable economic relationships so if they're playing a very. delicate tightrope again with the other countries in the region eric thanks i want your thoughts on this great to hear you thank you very much for being with us here live on r.t. eric one got the editor of the conqueror report website

a canadian information service on north korea thanks for joining us. well it may be one of the world's most reclusive states but it seems the power of the web is slowly lifting the veil of secrecy and north korea instagram and twitter and now in the country and as eric said a little earlier everybody's using their mobile phones and texting each other and even par was preparing to drop anchor there when early r.t. correspondent spoke to my colleague lucy coming up. started with a tweet by the bureau chief of the associated press in korea ms jane leavy who on february twenty fifth tweeted that this is my first tweet using career links new mobile internet service hello world from center in pyongyang this tweet has gone to like millions of retreat but definite did open the floodgates in some way that after that we've seen instagram pictures facebook tags check ins all coming from one of the world's most closed countries and definitely this is a breakthrough and nothing we have experienced before well certainly exciting stuff but i mean this is actually translate to the locals the people on the ground are they running around posting instagram photos and tweets well the core your link the

only internet provider in korea you know phrase like that would have been unthinkable three years ago it launched this service the mobile internet service but now for now it's only available to visiting guests it's not available to the local population but they can already send text messages to each other and even make a video calls to each other which is already a breakthrough for a country where having curtains and windows is outlawed because then it would mean you have something to hide so which is not something i heard about before and i'm curious is this something to you personally would have ever imagined seeing in north korea i mean you've been to the country what's what's it been like when you visited well i saw the curtains part i saw all windows were open when i was there some seven years ago to change and about them in a way when i came there i was shocked because my cell phone was confiscated at passport control and the only one time i could use internet i could go online was from a russian embassy because they had a contract with a chinese satellite provider and i was the only way i could actually go online to

do to post something to post some pictures from inside the north korean country so definitely the situation has changed now compared to what it was like seven years ago when i was there then piers of course it's hard for us just speculate as to why these changes are happening since it's a fairly closed country but do you believe that this is a new day with a change in leadership by younger you no more. energetic man who is perhaps more aware of things like three g. for example absolutely when kim jong il the late korean leader said that the country needs to embrace the new high tech technology the new high tech era probably his son who is now in charge of the country took these words very seriously recently saw a visit of one of the google stop executives to the country something unthinkable you know which is crazy if you think about it three four years ago then we saw visit over from boy in the n.b.a. player former n.b.a. player dennis rodman who actually said that kim jong un his friend for life so all this shows that that north korea wants to open up the world the question is

certainly to what extent the country will open itself up of course and i'm really curious i would say this whole hired based story what exactly is going on there as . well first we heard a statement published on wired based website that i quote today we can reveal that we have been invited by the leader of the republic of korea to fight our battles from the network it is ironic in many ways because pirate bay as we know has always been prosecuted globally and north korea is also in a very difficult situation let's put it this way. they even changed their logo for a short period of time the typical pirate ship was replaced with a ship having north korean flags on it later we contacted people from the pirate bay who said this was a joke which was aimed at directing attention to their problems that they are being prosecuted but certainly as we know all jokes have some truth behind them this is not the life here in moscow right after the break we'll look at how the taliban is

three. three. three. three. three. three. three. with the afghan presidential election approaching next year the taliban says it's seriously considering entering politics a former official in the militia said the group could launch a political party but that doesn't necessarily mean an end to the insurgency of course one of the original goals of the u.s. led war in afghanistan was to remove the taliban from power so let's have a look at what this has cost both countries well since the launch of the miniature operation back in two thousand and one more than two thousand u.s.

soldiers have been killed a total coalition losses have topped three. the number of americans injured in the line of duty exceeds over seventeen thousand and the death toll among afghan civilians is staggering more than thirty thousand lives lost in the war and from the human factor to the financial burden as far as america is concerned the price tag of the decade long effort is a massive seven hundred billion u.s. dollars now if the taliban return to power all the second fight is can turn out to be in vain and a taliban victory could easily become reality that's according to the former afghan m.p. daoud sultanzoy this government has so much so many problems that western world have lost their credibility in this government has no credibility so in that sort of a situation that taliban had been smart they would have scored big in the political front but i think the taliban can take advantage of this void in fill that vacuum

it is up to the taliban to show their real face not the face that is pushed by the british intelligence or the pakistani intelligence the west is confused the west is looking for an exit a very speedy exhibit and there i'm afraid that they will probably do whatever is possible whatever is convenient to put up a very very tedious. and very temporary fix and leave and then things will go back to where it had started that's the problem in the region has to realize that we have to find sustainable success for this problem not a temporary face saving thing for the nato to leave and then leave a big problem for afghanistan for the neighborhood. and we're always interested in your views on the stories we cover and today we're asking you to vote on whether you believe the afghan taliban can transform itself from an armed insurgency into

a credible political force dot com and take part in our online poll that good to hear from me. latvia has set its sights on joining the eurozone in twenty fourteen that's despite the currency bloc shaky outlook with austerity cuts and gaping holes in the country's budgets the decision also clashes with public opinion and not be aware two thirds are against your own membership we spoke to one member of the european parliament who believes the timing couldn't be worse. via wants to be member of

nato or the e.u. of the eurozone so want to be a member of a bigger bloc nato i can't imagine the e.u. i can imagine the eurozone at the moment is not the right club to draw in because lead came out of the crisis in two thousand and ten and the economic recovery started shortly after actually lead he is doing quite well so one could wonder why latvia want to enter the eurozone if you have an economic crisis would come back to latvia. in the euro zone cannot leave you and will have to stay in the light because greece's doing now and greece's go towards a lot of suffering and that is the economic downside to perhaps the political advantage to have member of a bigger club. the remains of the german capital's notorious landmark the berlin wall could soon make way for a fourteen story luxury apartment block and it seems the trend for reshaping berlin

is gaining momentum with more new buildings emerging as fast as the real estate prices keep growing all of the reports on how this is affecting the lives of the city's lifelong residents. poor but sexy but so. lovingly described his city. now some berliners feel this way of life is coming under threat there isn't here in the if you keep your inquiries work we've seen big changes over the past ten years more and more apartment buildings have been built in areas where people traditionally used to rent what we're seeing is people being forced from their homes real estate prices in berlin have shot up by thirty two percent since two thousand and seven well ahead of the german average this is resulted in some tenants being a victim as their rented flat says sold from underneath and prompting anger and demonstrations from those who see the city's identity being sold to the highest bidder isn't. our problem here is that berlin is turning into

a city split between the haves and have nots rising prices of forced people who have lived here for years to move out and those who have come makes. this year has seen an increase in the amount of protests against the gentrification of lynn as well as growing resentment towards other germans and foreigners moving into the city for the most part the public image of this still poor but sexy however times are changing the new emerging face of perlin is certainly stylish however it's also becoming increasingly an affordable due to the demand from people wanting to live in a desirable location economically viable and politically secure the lynas becoming the place of choice for southern europeans to invest in during turbulent times in their own countries. can't turn sells and rents property to italians.

the town. one of the main reasons our customers are buying here is that there is no trust in their telling economy or at the. banks people see an apartment in berlin as a good way to preserve the value of their savings but what about the claims that the real estate boom is stealing and sold. this is progress berlin is developing sure it presents some challenges but this is just the same as when the wall came down and people moved into areas if anything this creates the march on that makes for a what it is this new housing developments are being built all around the city to try and accommodate demand however with rental prices having risen by ninety percent in the last decade it does seem that the writing is on the wall for the dream of an affordable life in the german capital peter all over r.t. berlin. the moment the elite military wing of hamas has shared some of its secrets

a minute tree takeover of this restive city on the coast there seems to be a lot of anger between the civilians and the police force this comes after the national security agency was torched this morning yesterday we had security directorate partially burnt as well as the governor headquarters with hundreds of injured i'm at least five killed. we're told now for a brief world update for you before the business news with katie venezuela's vice president said here chavez is going through the most difficult time so far his battle against cancer it would do is address to the media was apparently aimed at reassuring venezuelans that their leader is still alive contrary to growing rumors he also claims she has his illness was the result of a conspiracy on part of his domestic and foreign enemies in addition to the expulsion of a u.s. embassy it for allegedly plotting to destabilize the country. one

power was the envy of ambrose. he never put his trust in anyone and rightly so. his body was found on the floor of his huge empty else. did he die of natural causes. the mystery of stomach still. on a documentary. thank

you. thank you. it was my. my. hello there welcome to businesses me katie thank you for your company a. bank is by mrs never popular with the masses in fact often the topic of year easy for people struggling to get by in these tough economic times so the chief executive of hate just b.c. getting a bonus package worth over ten million dollars after a year of money laundering scandal surrounding the bag was raised a few eyebrows or tempers are should say but a late at least hey just b.c.

turns out a profit although pretax profits of over twenty billion dollars was six percent down on last year now but. even that is actually better than some of the london based financial stew dishing out bonuses state that lloyds banking group or our royal bank of scotland did not manage your profit yet still pay out millions in bonuses now these handouts come at a time when britain's chancellor george osborne is opposing e.u. finance ministers proposals to limit bigas bonuses two years sorry earlier today i asked ishaq's to d.q. from the capital he's fine hazel. two when it comes to the u.k. and france was more he once again show that the city of london suffer from less flexibility reduced competition and a flight of quality kind of going elsewhere without

a financial hub such as new york and hong kong for the it's a different story they're trying to safeguard their banking system again after three years of being a world of debt crisis sort of profits being eaten away by this crisis so i could say that there has a reason for this but but george osborne he's fighting for something else well let's just say these rules do go through how do you think london will be affected do you see competition really suffering as a result you mentioned talent flocking to the likes of home call new york how realistic is that. yeah i think it's hard to measure in terms of how much competition will be lost but it would really be that the talent out there would move over with. other financial hubs with of better pay packages to their staff or senior management in the u.k. i think of the last three four years have changed the culture is changing slowly it still needs to change radically off to the scandals that we've seen in two thousand

and twelve and the rate in a place and also some of the deals with middle eastern firms that we've seen through h.s.b.c. the standard chartered so. there has to be a sea of changed in the u.k. but in terms of what the immediate impact would be would be telling driving elsewhere or driven elsewhere sorry i came let's talk about the other side to this then the people the masses i should say about already to kate on bank is getting these extortionate bonuses going to mention the hate just b.c. case today the chief executive i have a seven million pounds he will be getting as part of the package but doesn't feel some people what would be your reaction to those people that a say bank is simply don't deserve this kind of task they're just doing their job no i completely understand those concerns and the public outcry which is why there has been such a strong. strong case for

a sea change in the banking sector i think with h.s.b.c. see you know and his pay package h.s.b.c. is truly a global bank and it for his and for the c.e.o. i think he certainly believes that he doesn't need to have a salary cut down on. this particular point i think when it comes to banks such as bank of scotland lloyds banking group the government and the taxpayer still has a big say that's where the real capping of bonuses should be and not so much for the likes of h.s.b.c. and barclays. still. banking systems don't need the government's help right now and do you think london's days as the financial hub do you think it's changing times but yeah i think i think there is a there's going to a big change in the banking system with more intense financial regulation coming through more transparency and that's what london is looking at more so than what

you would be looking. at this point when are trying to safeguard the banking system whereas in the u.k. we want to build up more trust in our banking system a lot of trust has been lost between consumers and banks to grasp you know given the crisis that we've given the scandals that we've had in the u.k. banking system so right now it's more about rebuilding trust me if you know do you think the days old extravagant excessive bankers' bonuses are coming to an end yeah i think for for the e.u. for sure and for the i think it's a matter of time before we're going to see that it's a slow gradual facts of the u.k. banking system is looking to the leverage you saw for start a pretty good job over the last few years i think now with with the public outcry against bankers getting such have to pay will be a point where the u.k. will have to march along with it and start looking at their payment methods. that's

march on to the markets and u.s. stocks continue to rise sharply the bulls right now as you can see they are charging the dow jones continues to gain after hitting the highest level on rec or the nasdaq is also sky high really loitering around those five year highs with the federal reserve in the u.s. committed to really an unconventional war three policy investors seem confident enough right now keep buying up their act is it even greater quantities elephant c. one hundred powered back above that six thousand four hundred level closing around the highest level since the beginning of january two thousand and eight also mining stocks staging a comeback they did particularly well of following a few days of recent selling pressure mainland europe then we got the dots on tuna hopson up in positive territory we had stronger than expected eurozone retail data

the debate around britain's membership within the has taken center stage here in britain and it's not going away anytime soon in the u.k. independence party all you keep is the name of ill health the view that person would be better off out and as for their leader well if you haven't heard of him yet where have you being he's the firebrand politician he once told the president herman van rompuy that he had the charisma of a damp rag his outspoken views often raise eyebrows but he seems to the fleck criticism with these years all through all the man he survived a plane crash to whatever. where you can or can't smoke we are of course talking about nytol for us thank you very much for joining us let's get straight to you cape is the party that you think david cameron put the promise of an in out referendum on the table so that's your thunder stolen isn't it well i mean he said

if he wins the next general election well that looks pretty unlikely following a renegotiation which given the temperature in brussels looks virtually impossible in five years time he's going to give us a say whether we should remain part of the european union although there's one really big problem with that he's done it all before in two thousand and seven he gave us a cost and guarantee that if he became prime minister we have a say on the lisbon treaty and he's let us down like a cheap pair of braces on and frankly i don't believe then i don't trust him i won't because i did me is we don't want to wait five years let's have a referendum before the next general election if he said that i cheer him to the rooftops if we do get a referendum they where does that leave you keep. it doesn't matter what matters is we get the independence democracy and self-government of this country back the reason we're in this mess is because twenty years ago at the time of the bow street tracy tory members of parliament decided that the that the well being of their

passes unit see massive more than the independence of our country and i'm not going to make the same mistake with you what happens do you get doesn't matter the reality of course is we're a party with a plan for what we should do once we leave the european union but that isn't the issue the issue is are my children going to grow up in a country that they can call their own people winning the battle proving to the basest public that ukip can be a serious credible party. well i think you look at the opinion polls if you look at our performance and recent by elections you know people are voting for us just on the constitutional question of europe they're voting for us because of our stance on open door immigration they are voting for us because of our stance on wind turbines they're voting for us because we're a party that believes that social division has become wider and wider with the abolition of the grammar schools there are lots of actually very strong and positive reasons why people are voting you can let's talk about immigration the

coalition has said they're getting serious about it yes you're absolutely right david cameron was in india he said the there will be no upper limit i repeat no upper limit on the number of indian students that can come to britain and then settle there after of course he also. not only endorses rumania in bulgaria i'm having full access to the u.k. labor market and social security system after twenty fourteen now even that's not enough for david cameron david cameron wants turkey to join the european union with the free rights of access for another eighty million people so that's why david cameron is on immigration he is encouraging open door immigration or in fact just in the same way that tony blair did well what do you say to the criticism your fees on immigration are fueling prejudice well that's complete you know i mean i just resent that reject that and if people are deeply prejudicial against those from overseas they can go vote b.m.p. don't vote for us go vote for the b.n.p.

if that's how you feel if you're like ukip and you know you wish people in romania and bulgaria well but you don't think that total unlimited open door is a responsible thing to do at a time of twenty two percent youth unemployment then come of it for you concerns regarding immigration when it comes to even amy and doug area never in our history until two thousand and four have we ever had a complete unlimited. open door you know ever since ninety forty five we've had an immigration policy in britain something like thirty to fifty thousand people a year for that fifty year period came and settled in this country over the last seven years it's now between five and six hundred thousand people a year nothing like this has ever happened in our history and i think the great danger with remaining garia is that we're dealing with countries that are several times poorer than poland latvia and lithuania are the ones that accessed the u.k.

back in two thousand and four and you know there is a risk that over the course of the next few years very considerable numbers of people will come and frankly i don't think our labor market or our social security system can bear it do you think is the right need a tax this. remaining immigration at the beginning of the next year. i honestly believe. that even though i doubt the sincerity of cameron's pledge on a referendum the what he's done he's let the genie out of the bottle you know we are going to have over the course of the next few years a very big open honest debate in this country about whether to remain part of the e.u. or not and i predict. but the key issue on which this will turn will be open border immigration that is going to become the number one issue when it comes to a referendum that above everything else is what people are going to vote on these sales standing up for the faceless people well yeah but i think you know

particularly you know unskilled labor. you know they are having a very very difficult time and equally quite a lot of skilled labor is having a difficult time because of massive price undercutting you know i do understand that if you're a big employer then open door immigration's a very good thing because you can get people to pick cauliflowers far more cheaply you can get people work on building sites and save yourself some money and that does push down wage inflation in this country i accept that i understand that but on the other hand. if that is directly putting people into a situation of unemployment then why is it maybe good for the big employer it certainly isn't good for the country these say you stand up for everyone but what exactly do you mean by that well i think there is a feeling i share it that we now are run by a political class of people they all go to the same schools they all go to the same oxford colleges they all take the same degrees they all marry each other sisters

and they all finish up having gone from research offices straight into parliament you can't put a cigarette paper between them in terms of policy they have no hobbies or interests or what denis healey used to call him to lands i mean they don't even collect stamps these people you know they spend their weekends sitting around together talking about politics they are utterly disconnected from the thoughts hopes and aspirations of the ordinary working family in this country and i think we as a political party are far more in tune and idea name for making comments like that and you're a firebrand character do you think they are a politician or planning. to think of myself as a politician i was in business for twenty years i only got into politics because i felt the entire political class were taking us down a road towards a united states of europe that would mean that not only our democracy but actually our place in the world would be severely diminished and so i got into this and

indeed in this very town that we're sitting in today recently i was ukip first of a candidate and i stood in the byelection in that he twenty years ago and i i believe even more strongly that if our politicians were out of touch twenty years ago when they took us into the exchange rate mechanism and signed the maastricht treaty they're even further out of touch today we leave. ukip get what they've been fighting for what happens to our trade when. i said he was i'm absolutely convinced that my favorite react to produce will want to go on selling many many cases for kerry. me i'm absolutely certain that the sate is want to go on selling their cars from big showrooms in london and remember that the last year that we have trade figures for we traded with the european union at a deficit of forty six billion pounds a cumulative trade deficit over the last five years alone of two hundred billion sterling we are one of the e.u.'s biggest export markets in the world and we get

this rubbish put out by mandelson and kenna hazell tion and all these ghastly people telling us that if we were part of the european union all economic activity between britain and the e.u. would say it's absolute rubbish no where in the world do you need to be in political union to buy and sell widgets from each other it's arrant nonsense see thing that should be building trade links with other countries thanks china for example. dave cameron was in india with a great big travelling circus supposedly the biggest ever trade mission of the british prime minister has ever been on and whilst it's true that we can do trade with india the one thing that cameron could have put on the table to really secure . vibrant exciting trade relationships with ships with india he was incapable of doing he wasn't able to go to india and say right let's have a tariff free trade deal between our two countries and we can't do that because

we're trapped in this completely outdated concept of a european union's customs union we are banned the world's largest trading nation and we're banned from making trade deals in any other part of the world it's really funny because you know we're told oh you must be part of a big block well look at switzerland it's a ten dollar of a country in terms of population and yet the swiss have more trade deals with the major not e.u. economies around the world than we do in the pen and says you're part of what those independents want. it means that you govern your own country it means the british people at general elections put people into westminster and it's those people and those people own the decide what employment regulations are the decide what our overseas trade policy is the decide what we should be doing about britain's looming energy crisis and that that parliament is able to take those key decisions and at the end of a four or five year period we the british people can assess them we can boot them

out and we can pick somebody else with a completely different manifesto and one of the reasons why general election debates in britain are now limited basically to schools and hospitals is because on virtually every other area the legislation that is made at brussels level cannot be changed by a british government or british parliament it's narrowed in political debate in this country so the defender of independence the scottish independence referendum well i can't understand anything about examiner said between the years because isn't he the scottish nigel for as you call it you know he's a con job isn't it because he's been saying we could leave westminster and be an independent state in the european union well i'm sorry you know you cannot be an independent state and be part of the european union and actually sat. his position has changed i mean now he wants to keep the pound he wants to keep the queen and he seems to be quite pro military cooperation as well and even his independence in europe line has now been dealt

a fatal blow by mr barroso i never thought i'd ever say anything nice about mr bott he has said that if scotland leaves the u.k. replies it would have to reapply to join the european union and sign a treaty that committed scotland to joining the euro and the scottish people looked at that and said no thank you very much indeed so i think the independence referendum in twenty fourteen you know i very much doubt that more than twenty twenty five percent of people will vote for independence and we can then have a proper debate about the relationship between scotland and westminster personally i'm pro more devolution you know i've got no difficulty with the f. word the federal structure within the united kingdom but i think the scots should actually be raising more of their own money and spending more of their own money as prime minister oh it's pretty unlikely isn't it i mean look you know here we are we are third in the opinion polls we're above the lib dems we've made huge progress i very much believe that in the european elections of next year we've got

a serious chance of winning those elections nationally i think it unlikely that we're going to be the biggest party in westminster in twenty fifteen. but what we could well do is we could well catalyze some sort of realignment of british politics that whilst we draw our votes from across the spectrum it is pretty clear to me that the conservative party is now going through i think just about its deepest crisis in history there are two distinct wings of the conservative party they don't agree with each other on virtually anything and i think if you get gets much stronger than it is today we could see something really new and really quite exciting in british politics they came out fast thank you very much for joining us thank you. listen.
