e.u. nations make it impossible to offer a meaningful solution to the crisis. this is a fascinating meeting because i actually it demonstrates the within the e.u. it's so there is a very very significant struggle on the argument over what is the process by which the eurozone needs to be saved there is a lady called sharon bowles she's the chairman of a committee called economy which deals with economics she's been very very unhappy with the activity and in recent months coming from the european union itself the european commission and. euro zone finance ministers and she's been increasingly critical of the fact that there is basically new leadership in the euro zone it keeps going these false agreements that signed wonderful everybody says the euro zone crisis is solved and there is within a matter of a few weeks we have a further crisis in another economy and we need more money so there's a very very fundamental argument going on within the euro zone within the european union and it's going to call for starter noon in brussels the euro zone needs to come togeth

e.u. nations make it almost impossible three and meaningful for consent to the crisis. this is a fascinating meeting because actually it demonstrates that within the e.u. itself there is a very very significant struggle and argument over what is the process by which the eurozone needs to be saved the difficulty is that a lot of the politicians and bureaucrats involved simply have been too slow to realize the extent of the problem because they managed to put the cracks for the past five or six years they thought they could keep doing so we keep throwing these false agreements that signed wonderful everybody says the euro zone crisis is solved and there's within a matter of a few weeks we have a further crisis in another economy and we need more money very very fundamental argument going on within the european union the euro zone needs to come together with sensible moves because at the moment they've been throwing money at any possible problems and all they're doing is all over cracks in the edifice in the structure of the building and that just won't do you know the fren

e.u. nations are major trade partners is this lack of public playing a risky game by waiting out well actually look at a couple of things i mean first of all to actually join the euro anyway the czech republic would have to join the exchange rate mechanism which means that it's going to be at least two or three years before they would physically be members. the currency per se so it's not terribly risky for them at the moment hitting one finger in the air and saying we're going to see which way the wind blows and then reassess what goes on knight you're quite right of course germany is a very vital trading partner amongst other western european nations with the czech republic and their exports foreign direct investors big companies like samsung and other korean coal mines amongst others very much want to see the ability to harness the benefits of the single currency but there's no point in joining something where it's actually currently in intensive care and if someone switches off the life support system it could die ok looking at it on the big picture here opinion what do you think will happ

e.u. there are parties and there are national. delegates to this parliament and of course everybody has their own ideology and their own party affiliation and their own national background you see so. i think when we say that the e.u. has said a lot of criticism to this law we also have to say there's a lot of people within the e.u. within the european parliament who. defended this or. especially from the european peoples party which is the biggest faction within the european parliament thanks very much for joining us thank you very much. on. the on. the a. as you know song was sixteen years old when he committed these murders that's not inside the song so are some of the honest for his crimes song is being pounced no rational person can deny that song has been punished is being honest and will be punished. as ours must be executed for the brutal crime committed this is a punishment this is not. to mention. that it's. because you've been immersed no matter what so ever. and i didn't come here ask justice. in her very first. stop w

the boundaries of peace so it is always a contentious issue i mean every country every nation state which the e.u. consists of has its own media law has its own institutions that safeguard the freedom of speech or the freedom of press so even in the e.u. the opinions about the hungarian media law have been very diverse it has received criticisms and it has also been defended by some politicians in the e.u. of course the green and the liberal fraction in the european parliament has been very hysterical about it. i can understand some of their criticisms but on the other hand in this country we have a long history of where people from outside try to tell us what to do for a long time it was for moscow for fifty years now we have people. coming around from brussels from washington rating hungary and freedom of press freedom of speech and trying to tell us what kind of rules are the best for hungary and we had in this country in the past twenty years during the history of hungary and democracy so to speak previous media law which was very far from perfect. and there were a lot of instances where the

e.u. this question of national sovereignty versus a united states of europe i don't think we're going to see anything but a series of patchwork compromises just briefly the duros downs debt bubble this seems to be expanding and expanding is this going to burst the bench ellie do you think that the euro is in fact doomed. i. i think the commitment of especially germany and france to not allow the euro to be doomed is enormously strong because they they view their economic industrial future germany as the leading exportation. internationally today is tied to a stable year old or a euro that is the basis of that trade and especially sixty six percent of the trade of the eurozone countries is intra european union within the european union so it has many strong economic arguments in favor of it keep in mind that the explosion of the debt has very much to do with the explosion of interest rate perceived risk that was triggered when the moody's and standard and poor's downgraded the debt sovereign debt of greece more than a year ago just when the e.u. member countries that you council agreed on a r
