well i fear what will happen here in may at the european parliament elections around in some of the european countries where we have seen movements and sentiments parties that we thought would do belong only to the past i mean in greece now we have a new facets we see that the formation of simon powers right now is to get around twenty twenty five percent of the votes these are certainly parties that i had never expected to nor hoped would do once again get. support in europe but we have to understand that when these parties come it's not because the europeans are turning to the extreme right out of their free will it's because many of the trappings that that that form our everyday lives with premal my friends with the recession and economy and so on has been building created by the european union and this is therefore only the rational approach for many many people to reject all controlled all of your credit and undemocratic european union there's nowhere is for them to go because all the old timers used they remain very loyal to the european union they would never speak against brussels an

laws were already being made in the european parliament do you agree with that. yes and it's not actually nice to actually agree with the european commission and this isn't the first time that she said it last year in sweden she was asked the same question by a swedish audience and agreed that it was seventy five percent of the problem that you someone will try and bring up about the house of commons the house of lords and she would this was dealt with between the years of nine hundred seventy nine and two thousand and five this was before the lead. when treaty on a vast array of new regulations directives and orders come in says germany has accepted that more than seventy five percent of the moles i'll be in and post posed in that country and so of us recognizing that it's a terrible state of affairs it shouldn't happen and it shows that democracy has moved to europe not from this country i wish i could give peter a chance to comment on that but unfortunately we have run out of time thank you both very much gentlemen for joining me peter wilding from british infl

and it could be that we have this with the european parliament. but you can expect to have skeptics and if that were to be the case, it could change the relationships between the that institutions. the european parliament is now work more or less like the american congress and then you have a legislative proposal that can be across the board and to have all kinds of specific coalitions on this, which is a little bit different than the democratic system that i have made in the european union. and so that could change because we have skeptic members of that will have to manage this with 50% off of this. and so what i expect to happen is that you will have a closer relationship and more political relationship between the european commission and parliament. and thereby he would move in the direction of having a majority based commission and this is presently not the case and that i think would change. and i'm not sure, but you would move more in the direction of a real governmental problem which you can then execute and from time to time we will have

speaking in native tongue] >> translator: waking up to the new hope into participating in the european parliament for ukraine and the european people is important for us, for political europe. we are knocking on the european tour by ukraine to say clearly that in the future, in some future that there is room for ukraine and the european union and we have to move forward. we shouldn't be afraid of the evening and the composition of the new government for the european government we know there is a politician who will be part of the government and the people in favor of europe as the government and the partnership agreement with european union's and therefore we have to get the vote of confidence to the new government that will be announced. they wanted to go to the west, not to the east and it is pretty clear we had clashes, said today we should say clearly that we, the european union were not in favor of this country that ukraine to remain as it is right now. the commissioner says that russia can't help. he acted like copperfield taking a rabbit out of his hat. we don't know magic.

i met him at the european parliament's to ask him why he started his investigation into the master in the first place. i was struck by the amount of money that's going to the palestinian authority and the fact that it's going to promote peace and reconciliation. but it's actually accomplishing the opposite funding specific terrorism program which is actually administered by the ministry of prisoners in the palestinian authority pursuant to law called the law of the prisoner which creates monthly salaries for convicted terrorists which escalates by the number of people that are killed. this is opening its known. it's not the night and are getting this money from the eu in from united states taxpayer will make sure investigation different. no one's ever done an investigation like this i'm also looking at tax exempt organizations like the new israel fund. the ford foundation the george soros open society foundation and how they contribute to and shields who are committed to creating a climate of confrontation. edwin black's presentation came about with the help of european jewish problem

laws are actually made in the european parliament house of commons study has shown that that number is vastly exaggerated and of course all of this is playing into the hands of the anti you know p. and political parties like the u.k. independence party those who would like person to leave the e.u. when a top e.u. official suggests that people in any country aren't sufficiently qualified to vote in those elections it sort of has a whiff of elitist and a sort of with the lack of democracy which of course is what the e.u. skeptics are constantly saying about the european union and it also may serve to discourage people from the scene in the election in any european election at all oh well they think if i if i don't really know enough of someone telling me i don't know enough then maybe i won't bother to vote but we'll have to see how that pans out come may i discussed reading the statements and the attitudes to them in british society with stephen walt from the u.k. independence party in peter wilding founder of the pro british influence group. today vivian redding should hang her head in

european union herself she maintains that seventy percent of uk doors i'd teammates in the european parliament's house of commons that the fed has said that that number is last week's accident since. and of course oh one and face these cravings the hands of the anti eu dopey and a tricycle cos is like the uk departments plus you get to look like person to leave the eu. when a top eu officials suggest that people in any country of the city quantified to face in this index has added it to have the wit to babysit them. i'm sad as that of whitman lack of democracy which of course is what the itu skeptics to constantly saying about the european union and it'll save a step to discourage people from facing an election in any european exit oh oh well they think if i if i didn't really know enough of someone's head and i don't know enough of the building of the two banks will have to see how that pans out. come may i discussed reading state means any attitudes to women in british society with steven wolf from uk independence party and peter wilding founder of the pro eu british influence. today to begin

commission report well to discuss the findings i'm now joined by phil quietus member of the european parliament for the flemish nationalist bombs belong party thank you so much for joining us here on our international to talk about this report and the situation in the e.u. regarding corruption so you are a politician so without naming names have you witnessed corruption. of the person on the witness corruption a member of polity that's always been very critical about the way that the situations work and even as the national level of this is the same the so we have never been approached by any people to do any corrupt business and we are all over and we have always been the critical towards the lack of transparency the lack of you know accountability and that's often found in me in the public business so no i personally have never wished that witnessed it myself well you know what's interesting here is that because of the findings detail of the massive scale of corruptions we're out of the european union and you know i'd like to ask you what is driving the strand and what's behind all this which

[laughter] at present, the european parliament is not skeptical about trade.have a lot of questions on sustainable development, environmental issues, health and safety. mental health rights. generally speaking, we are not against trade. we have managed to get a trade deal adopted. the one with columbia, peru, south america. we got an agreement with the that easily pass parliamentary scrutiny. the idea that there would be skepticism in europe is not true. sure that if you , it wouldach a deal be widely debated, because it and the a big deal, idea is to insert a stent to merge -- the idea is to a certain extent to merge two markets. it would provide problems in european parliament. , first ofts in europe what are the things i have learned after 35 years in youtics is that whenever try to have a judgment on the outcome, you are mistaken. it is always different than what you expected. it is difficult to predict. that therery well be are more eurosceptic members of the european parliament. from great britain entree, they are very positive. that is not the only thin

are brought you know chairman of the european parliament's committee he came to ukraine today and he said that ukrainians should stop when chant because this may provoke russia's intervention there are no signs of russia's intervention there was not a single statement by the russian leaders that would make it look forcible there were no intercepted conversations nothing but steel you know the e.u. frightening ukrainians by the scarecrow over russian intervention created this terrible atmosphere or witch hunt so i think the elmar brok is the last man quarter fight to stop the witch hunt because he believed in the wages how can you stop that which of if you will if you believe in that which is ok a man to do when replying to a demon which is sad to say here first of all of course elma brock i mean he doesn't represent the e.u. i mean his comments are wholly unhelpful of course but hey it's not representing the. you you he's not a leader of a member state to an e.u. official and i just want to return to the point that was raised earlier about how we should have waited until the presiden

the decision taken by the european parliament to actually break away from the us depends if you havein your own technological systems networking things that microsoft and. all the other systems that they've developed since then and we could then have developed our own systems in europe which would be independent and much more secure and would have guaranteed european systems pretty and this was of course abandoned after nine eleven in the us and i hope that the european poll visiting the possibility of building up that market here and so now we have these reports coming from this newspaper about german officials being spied on isn't this just state craft for example we have victoria nuland comments being secretly recorded allegedly by members of intelligence from one of the former eastern bloc countries and then that be released isn't this just kind of how the game is played well of course cities i mean you know countries do spy on each other the point is that german intelligence agencies should be protecting their german politicians and the german government from being spied on by o
