4:05 am
towards in the euro zone the euro zone and t u has nothing to do with democracy anymore and what i fear most is that all this crisis is you a crisis leads to structures which are far far away from democracy i mean i don't want a eurozone boss i want somebody whom i can believe whom i can trust and who i'm also able to elect but what's going on at the moment is that there are people in front of us like in the former u.t.s. is our politicians and their political decide what's going on i think that's not good for the future take also jeff take america united states of america fifty million food stamps there this is not an asylum so we are we have all of the same problem and maybe the occupy and these protests that we see are only the beginning of a vast protest and demonstration all over the europe all over europe but also all over
4:06 am
the world in jet pan and united states as well. well discontent a grows on the streets of europe mean cracks on the political level and the latest round brussels has been accused of a land grab the complaint coming from the u.k. after the european commission took the country to court to defend the rights of citizens living in the country claims a britain is discriminating against people from other e.u. countries while london says it will fight every step of the way to protect its own laws artist doesn't fill your reports. the european commission is once again looking more closely at the affairs of its member states now one that's making particular noise especially while the citizens of that country is the commission's decision to launch a case against the u.k. at the european court of justice because the commission says that the u.k. has been discriminatory against nationals of other e.u. countries and receiving welfare now there's already been reaction from the u.k. particularly angry was from the government i want to from the work and pensions
4:07 am
secretary who says that he will want a cave in he says a brussels is once again launching a land grab and over reaching into its areas of responsibilities and meddling into the affairs of national governments now we have spoken to a legal expert to explain to us why the commission has done what it has this is a case where the commission has found. for a feeling that we. know that he wants to have a referendum in two thousand and seventeen you want to renegotiate the tradition. i mean but the. respect to this latest move by brussels has once again brought to the forefront issues like sovereignty of member states immigration or the pressure put on social welfare systems the very issues the really have led to an increase in support for euro skeptic parties and countries like the u.k. now can the commission is looking also at another country spain it says that it has received complaints of the health card which is supposed to entitle e.u. citizens to free health care in public hospitals while they're traveling to other
4:08 am
countries within the block and it has been refused by some spanish hospitals so one the one hand you have the commission maintaining that it's simply implementing the rules on the other you have accusations of brussels. national governments and in the context of the great economic crisis and very public displays of social dissatisfaction this is yet another stress test for the e.u. as it tries to move forward reporting from brussels i'm tess are cilia. later today makes a kind and stacey herbage look at some of the unconventional ways and we've greeks are hoping to dig their way out of the day crisis. restraint or leave or camps for poor taxpayers so if you go back taxes and you don't have any money to pay it well the government is looking for an army camp in the attic or region two people who have debts to the tax authorities serving their sentence confirmed the deputy minister for justice in the greek parliament now he's saying this is
4:09 am
a more humane solution because they're building these unique death camps. at a former army base but there won't be any rapists and murderers and other sorts in there so we'll just be these bad but you're going with this is compare and contrast here's a country like iceland maintain its sovereignty number one and then recapitalized and their smooth sailing toward growth period with their currency intact and employment is looking good greece unfortunately is locked into the euro and they're just they've been taken over they become a vassal state from the i.m.f. and the from the troika and these global institutions so they unfortunately lost their sovereignty. street protest sign golfing turkey what started a few days ago as a peaceful environmental rally has snowballed into the largest outpouring of public
4:10 am

4:12 am
it's amongst the torture actually in this moment because. it's incredible that. they use the tear gas price water and they mix tear gas particularly for gas in the personalized war to. the foreign people it is. really incredible so that so people have been injured in these riots. didn't the government has mishandled the situation but. it's still kind of breaching that secret will they do not interfere and they do not call the police back they just stand back and try to look lou take people out the polls under the influence. and nothing can reach to do places because of this question

4:14 am
incredible silence know their position is highly weakened in turkey we can see that because many people who had formerly supported earth go on now is so cool to our dog and their party. so it is very important nowadays because they had exits in their own glee staying silent or yesterday that was a press conference by the governor up to stumble and they totally lied about everything they hold to light about the violent behavior of the public but. they are really liking because people. just in a peaceful way protest everything and it is i think. the last point for the people because there is always a new creation from the government into words people and they have interfered with
