e.u. member states on libyan military intervention which are the key differences for you i think that any international involvement and internal engagement be it united nations be it nato or european union it's welcomed but what we have seen was the e.u. was not very much able to act on a united basis so at least now. so at the moment. if it's able to cover the whole operation. then in my feeling it's a good thing to be in the e.u. and russia do you believe that should be. what i thing while because russia. is not a member of the european union it's very important. and also a big supplier of resources. to deal member of the european parliament thank you for speaking with l.t. . a cluster munitions. and inside the container you have many small bombs and you can have anywhere from dozens up to hundreds of them there's a huge market right now for cattle area clearance because there are a lot of countries in the world that are contaminated by unexploded ordnance. that's you've got these companies and n.g.o.s that are basically sprung up that have an expertise to get rid of these weapons what t

are coming up shortly. and dubai did they stand the e.u. countries are told is a very you should host refugees from arab uprisings and want to order controls back in the union. a very warm welcome to you this is live from moscow now thousands of anti-government protesters since taking to the streets across syria after friday prayers several people are said to have been killed after securing the forces they could fire to spite the government's val not to shoot at the demonstrators well international pressure is mounting on the syrian all over the brutal crackdowns at least eight hundred who were caught and killed and thousands detained to the team on unrest the e.u. and the u.s. are composed sanctions against syria with the russians and seemingly the basic whether the eleven eight year rule of president bashar al assad is the result of damage can reports many believe the u.s. is laying the foundations the track. stick action against the regime. who is a legitimate international leader and who is not it seems america will decide a white house

for example the right in the us and e.u. are retaining relatively low interest rates while the emerging economies are tuning to raise that is why is that happening. in the inflation and actually that's. that's down so we are facing rule two behind station and this is not the case for europe and for you the united states may see children increased risk of inflation at the same moment we see increased inflation already and for a few time with least. actually the difference between china between brazil between india russia for example between many many other emerging markets and maybe many people apart from the weight of food stocks and the consumer prospects in you will be significantly lower than in russia or even in greece and slogan russia around so this occasion distribution is the one food star who's up and that's what has happened some time ago. pressure more struggling markets and as. as emerging markets are highly affected by the foodstuff prices so they begin big begin to go to risk strategy that's what has kept coming ch

e.u. member states i think are much more on they are on then on some common basis and i think this is natural and we have to count with that we've seen protests here in brussels against the e.u. which of their demands do you sympathize with of course it's. could be understandable from certain point of view from their point of view from trade unions point of view but that doesn't mean our time i think they are right i think that they have to understand and trade unions all around europe should understand that we live in times of very uneasy austerity measures that many european governments were spending much more than they should have and now they make they have to make some curbs they have to put their own budgets under strict control so i think this direction is the right one. really government should be much more sober much more decent when it comes to public expenditure and unfortunately probably in the foreseeable future it will be provoking some public disagree in some segments of the population you think the euro is a fundamentally weak currency i think that the moment the position of t

s in the e.u. are saying are going to be targeting top officials within the syrian regime isn't that slightly different therefore the people won't be affected in syria in the same way we've seen sanctions work elsewhere. that's right. if they freeze the assets of the elite. trickle down on the people they're not going to target food yet and those things but of course if the regime which is using some of their funds to lighten the pressure on the people i would argue there would be you know an indirect ban on the people i. know who suffer with these sanctions oa with with some exceptions. the e.u. and the u.s. has signed off after some but i'm really sorry we have already we're having quite a few problems with the communication is so interesting what you're saying i'm hearing most of it and i'm going to persevered with this what i do what i was getting case we do lose this link you or your organization concerned for middle east peace if we see perhaps a regime change the toppling of a sat in syria what
