if our european union and it is not of this authentic character just now, it must be made so to changes in commitment. the idealism, the intellectual strength and the courage that drove the founding fathers of the union. if we were to look at an alternative to regard our people dependent vary yubbles on ranging agencies. indeed, found to be fallible on so many occasion, instead of being citizens we would be reduced to mere consumer. prongs in a chess board of fiscal moves.

bargaining chip that was not what brussels had in mind and in particular some major members of the european union like germany they clearly. had to belgrade that either you make a deal with costs of all or you will never. continue your road towards the european bone but wonder why but why continue the road to the european union when it's got so many of its own problems of a massive debt slow growth what why is serbia so keen to join. well that's exactly what the whole debate in third gays about majority of political parties more than three quarters of the parliament are pro european and they say that we should feel joined because investors are more confident in the countries that are members of the european union which we can see in the balkans in the case of let's say about gary and romania who are expecting much more hoarding investment in serbia and because we need to reform our country and make it more efficient we exactly what supposed to happen during the negotiations. negotiations and i said but why but why has the e.u. b i'm sorry to jump in i do apologize why has the e.u. been so insiste

the european union has kicked off a training mission in mali to bring the military up to snuff and provide logistical support. >> the country has been battling insurgents since last year. france began assistance in january. the joint force have been able to press back the rebel fighters and beginning key cities in the north. >> about an hour's drive from capitol, cup -- bamako. 40 instructors and 40 medical personnel from germany are part of the european force. on a recent visit, the german defense minister said it was essential to contain the islamists in the north. >> they pose a threat to the entire region. mali is just one border away from the mediterranean, so it is in the european interest to stop terrorism from spreading mali. >> the european mission willllll stress this is not a combat mission and its duration is limited, but it might take longer than planned. >> the european union's plan is set at 15 months. the millions are also determined to keep it as short as possible -- the malians are also determined. if 15 months will be long enough -- we will just have to see if progress i

and cyprus case have highlighted the lack of real trust between the countries members of the european union and eurozone and this is what's tearing europe apart before everything goes away he probably the poor european approach is stronger if you are in a crisis the blame game starts and who is responsible who is the scape called who came be blamed for this and that and now we are in deep in this blame game situation who came be blamed for it and i think we should be a little bit more humber. and looking for that everybody was was responsible and everybody feels a little bit creepy and should be a little bit more critical so critical but there is a very strong on both anti you and anti terrorism sentiment among people don't you think that the risks are higher of a split within the euro zone and the european union their concerns and concerns but i think these concerns are understandable because. of risks bits spoke about one point six trillion ural i mean nobody can imagine able to sit mean one thousand six hundred billion euro pieces i mean major label for average citizens. you have to expl

has a fabulous history of not getting it sums right bear in mind that the european union itself has not actually been able to help its alters sign off the european union as a kite for the last eight years so there are certainly key reasons why this could happen to be fair part of this is probably because when you get into an asset collapse after a bubble actually as you keep scrimping things away you discover assets that are being priced at a higher level on a company or a bank's books than these really realistic it's the same situation going on at the moment and stay in spanish and so on and something like eighty billion euro is worth a property except for the fact that any billion euro is worth the property there valuing of the value they thought it was worth and so. two thousand and nine which is probably forty percent more than it's worth right now like the sorts of things happen when you strip away you can find don't see huge problems at the same time it also has to be said that the european union has been well remarkably naive all times in believing doubt it was given by b

think what we're seeing is the brussels bill falling down it's crumbling that is to say that the european union and its model has reached an end it's a destruction that is slow right now but will probably accelerate it was it was happening at the european parliament it's supposed to be democratic but it's not at all representative of what the people of the european union think there is a very strong proportion of people who reject this model and these people are not represented by the european parliament so i think that electing the success of them on a wild or although it's a small screen it's to make people believe that there will be an increase in democracy but in fact the mortal the economic model the truth is killing democracy it was true that was my. and you can catch our full interview with marine le pen later today at six forty five pm g.m.t. . violent protests have once again erupted in cairo this time outside the city's main cathedral a mob threw rocks and fired the shot at several hundred christians who were marching against egypt's islamic government which they accuse of failing to

voice that you can have on on the continent in the european union that we have today just one quick question you're in the european parliament you have a chance to put these ideas forward if you can speak to your german colleagues. what are you saying to them right now i'll speak to them every day i tell my colleagues that's twenty of our biggest companies are paying taxes in the netherlands not here so they're making their money here they're picking. i tell my german colleagues that it will be much better if they want to you know face down their nuclear power plants to have solar energy from portugal to the north so there is a way that we can work together it's not just the way it's being imposed from berlin that front forks on to the south but there is a more intelligent way there is a more clever way that we can work together and you know finally build this dam european union once and for all thank you very much thank you so there we have a demonstrations here in portugal also over the border in spain i'll be keeping you up to date on how they develop throughout the day here and i'll take

continue your road towards the european union they. call of all the roads today european union and some of them do not break. how they will deal with it remains to be seen but indeed european union is on solving that issue because they haven't invested much into cost of all the fault or secure like members of nato to secure its independence of course the way they're not going to give up now. for some countries buying on the door to get into the a year where there's a fine of the membership rules are driving them to desperate measures great seats up for grabs it's the largest fire sale in history from pristine coastlines to ancient palaces just to keep its economy afloat we've got details about coming up a little bit later this hour. next the gunman's open fire in a shop in western russia has killed at least six people including two girls aged fourteen and sixteen or police units in the rule city of both girls are currently undergoing the shooter. the story this all started just several hours ago when this thirty two year old suspect ha

political life is very important not only for italy but for all you italy is european union's the third strongest economy thus any small storm in the country may pretend a tempest for europe putting the future of the euro at stake some analysts say the e.u. states may share common currency and enjoy open borders their attitude towards one another is infused with discord for the moment it has been yes. well we could do a much much more you know by agreeing among countries on the financial. with disparagingly called pigs. it's not pigs it's its financial target it's a private attack this is the reality of the so-called euro crisis italians headed to the polling stations desperate for a leader who could bring back stability and prosperity the nation once enjoyed but the results seemed to show unity only in the resoundingly no to this territory measures put in place by mario monti begging the question just what kind of future is in store for the euro zone. in rome even r.t. . and our economic experts among skies and stays ahead but also discuss the issue of data as they deliver their own ta

i some said a little bit isolated in two thousand and eight during the economic crisis the european union did not really step in to provide financial aid and so on really welcomed chinese investment china build a new embassy it right to make china invested into eyes and to the icelandic economy and so i think pfizer it's really a long term a long term goal that iceland really hopes that when this arctic development really takes off that i can be really one of the hottest. scandinavian countries. i think norway in general is very favorable to the norwegian foreign minister said a few months ago that no way was now welcoming the outsiders into the arctic council he said that it's better for these outsiders to join their club to join the arctic council than those outside of starting their own club and so i think over all that is agreement and that it is better to have cooperation with these outsiders and see how economic interests and environmental concerns can be can be managed jointly i think overall that's that's that's the. that's the mindset of course you know that difference between an

. >> what is the -- where do we stand with respect to becoming a member of the european union? >> we are still on track, and we are moving forward, but we are moving forward at a lower speed than we would like to see. >> rose: so they are not moving as fast as you would like to see? >> actually, back seven, eight years ago, when i was in charge of eu collections, because i was in a while to my treasury responsibilities, doing those years the big question was when turkey is going to be ready for the european union, and now the question is, when is the european union going to be ready -- >> performing on all of the economy criteria. but then the domestic issues are so big in the european union that a new member, especially like a large country like turkey, is making people think twice, three times before making the big decision. but we believe that strategically it is very important for turkey to be in the eu, we believe that the european union is an important piece project emerging after the second world war, peace project but we believe the turkish project is more of a global p

i mean you talk about ultimately the forecasts for the european union is not a positive one my latest data here today so if the public confidence in the european union has fallen to historically low levels in the sixth biggest edu countries what's next for the block. well i do want to imagine what's next but this numbers just show us. where those positions tell us that the euro zone is still stable it is not at all and if you look at unemployment rates in the southern european countries you realize that those. numbers of political problems that in the end was the turning nations against each other instead of working together and this is why we say that you have to start this year experiment as quickly as possible but also in a controlled manner. more complicated between european countries and well i mean many europeans are holding a grudge against a european body is why don't known as the troika for what is seen as a poor response to the crisis what's your take on what they've done do you think should the troika have decision making powers taken away perhaps now it should not at all b

doing quite fine with their product right now you get almost all the benefits of belonging to the european union i think they block their trade already their trade union so they have all lost benefits and they keep their own currency i would say the problem is is that they need to keep their own currency to recover it just as all that is doing now in the last year the stories making headlines right now tonight an apartment blocks collapsed in northern france it's left at least two people dead nine others were injured in a suspected gas leak exploded at the four story building rescue teams have been deployed to try to retrieve two bodies still under the rubble of the destroyed complex. policeman have been shot outside the italian prime minister's office in rome one is in a serious condition in hospital it happened as enrica letter in his cabinet sworn in the president's palace interior minister called the incident a tragic unemployed man after the arrest of forty nine year old sea italy play democrat letter early this week which put an end to a two month political stalemate. at least two people h

because on the one hand the current ruling establishment here they want to be friends with the european union they are spying for european integration but on the other india of course see that tymoshenko is the biggest political enemy and it's far more comfortable for them to see her remain behind bars and they also have this one trick up their sleeve they can always say that look you are ruling the decision to convict her of seven years of prison as illegitimate but look there are two cases currently ongoing against sir one of them includes association to a murder of a deputy in nine hundred ninety six so it's interesting to see where it goes from here but we already have the reaction from the ruling party which said that this decision by the european court for human rights may not become valid grounds for releasing tymoshenko in fact this is been a bone of contention between europe and for some time we remember last year when you've hosted the football championship the euro two thousand and twelve some of the european officials boycotted the tournament because of the machine go and her case

the politicians in the governments and the european union especially in the euro states has done such a lot of things wrong and. misuse of treaties we made and do it reese will be kept all the time that there is no face anymore in in our experts to stabilize already even to defeat the crisis some hundred years ago the german emperor the second said. the german spirit really use the problems of the world and. my impression is that we try again you know to convince europeans you must do it the german way but the other countries especially in southern europe portugal spain greece italy and france not to forget they count do it that way because they have a different economy and they have to find their owed their own to which one of the most important is to get back their old currency when they can read the original value of their money and can compete internationally once again i think these countries are more or less on their own they have to manage their problems first in their own country and the troika has the tools especially not internationally the tools to help countries like portu

the european union was shouldn't. be icelandic state the icelandic taxpayers were responsible for that of private banks in the case to an international court now the after court found iceland was in the right i'm not responsible for this amount and refused the claims of that and at its roots they hard initially forced about the current relations between iceland and the rest of europe are you guys still friends they claim but basically be flushed down the toilet and would not be able to. sort of a merged sun equal in europe but that. falls on us iceland's relationship if you would of been the outside world normalized. international investors are coming back to the country. thanks have stabilized quite a lot the only thing to add here is sure there's lots of information on this story in blogs and social networks but you won't find it in mainstream media why perhaps to avoid giving ideas to anyone else under pressure. let's not polaroid forney a political analyst at the c.i. p.-i foundation think tank in brussels mr rouh

but there is a more intelligent way there is a more work and you know finally build this dam european union once and for all. well there's also some demonstrators out angry out some of the existing european institutions the troika is pretty much a dish he would on the streets of lisbon that's of course the three main does that a bailing out and helping out the country although they say helping out the people who would very much disagree they're made up of the international monetary fund the european union and the european central bank one of the main activists against the troika told me just what the problem is. like i mean so seventy we have been experiencing for more than. thirty measures which have effects destroyed every. prospect of social status and also well for the same people decent jobs and decent living and now we have over one hundred employees. even the deficit and deficits which were talked about to grow for the troika worse so it's a policy so it would be wrong and the people have recognized it and they want it to be out. there only some protesters still lingering on the stre

greece i believe this course of action was not entirely consistent and that is why i said that the european union was fully responsible for the state of the cypriot banking system considering that cyprus is part of the union and of the eurozone i've also argued that there might be a spillover effect from cyprus to the banking systems of e.u. neighbor states i don't believe the crisis is over but far from that it's presently at its peak and we don't know where it will eventually get us its outcome may prove to be better than expected or it could be worse cyprus has not yet allowed depositors' to withdraw their money from cypriot banks especially from the biggest ones such as the bank of cyprus so far there is no way of telling what those depositors and investors will do will they all decide to pull out their money and walk or will some of them choose to stay so the outcome is so far on clear so if it happens to be worse than everyone is expecting it will do. magically the situation for europe southern economies you know other words we cannot be certain that the crisis will not spill over onto othe

still facing risks do you think it's appropriate to talk about a certain see when it comes to the european union considering they're fighting off shores right now yet have territories such as cyprus and british virgin islands. it does have a touch of double standard policy about if those nations have an opportunity for shutting down those offshore havens they certainly should have done so. who do you think is primarily responsible for the fact that offshore schemes are being conducted right in front of the regulators eyes do you think it's the regulators themselves the banks isn't it with. the scale and scope of the two thousand and seven two thousand a crisis in the context of a globalized world was impossible to predict the magnitude of the crisis took everyone by surprise the crisis has taken its toll on every economy the u.s. is presently struggling with a budget deficit the u.k. is saddled with an enormous deficit complete with negative economic growth none of those countries had anticipated that these economic ills would overlap in such a way that it would inflict such a severe downturn on
