nigel farage. every fail of course comes with strings attached it's never easy but can cyprus afford the price the e.u. says here. well i mean what's really happening here is we have an irreconcilable split between the north and south of europe in the north of europe in particular i'm thinking about germany the netherlands and finland there are very strong political voices saying we do not want to go on bailing out southern european countries and bear in mind that cyprus is now the fifth country out of the seventeen that's needed to be bowed out and that is why the germans extracted the terms that they did but i must say even in my diaries predictions in this parliament over the years about the way the e.u. bosses were behaving never did i think that they would in a completely unprecedented manner resort to stealing money from people's bank account well it's because only you can. afford cyprus to fail kernot look at that look at the jitters that have already happened over the over what's going on t

nigel farage on r.t.in about an hour from now a moscow court has resumed hearings in the trial of the late russian lawyer surrogate magnitsky he was arrested five years ago on tax fraud charges but died a year later in pretrial detention causing a scandal between russia and the u.s. over human rights violations magnitsky supporters say he was jailed because he was accused of henri deed accused state officials of corruption and that he was abused while in prison but he's alexey unicef's he has more now on the case. well the prosecution has justified his decision to resume the case against magnitsky which was stopped in two thousand and nine after his death. even despite that the man in question has been dead for more than three years because the case has been so much controversial and there is a certain need to find out whether magnitsky had anything to do with the alleged embezzlement and tax evasion something he was accused of back in two thousand and eight when he was arrested the family of the deceased

and immigration have some genuine traction with voters leader nigel farage says u.k.i.p. is increasing popularity means they'll soon be able to influence mainstream politics i think it unlikely that we're going to be the biggest party in westminster in twenty fifteen but what we could well do is we could well catalyze some sort of realignment of british politics while as we draw votes from across the spectrum it is pretty clear to me that the conservative party is now going through i think just about as deep as crisis in history there are two distinct wings of the conservative party they don't agree with each other on virtually and the thing i think if you could gets much stronger than it is today we could see something really new and really quite exciting. on capitol hill there's still no deal in sight to avert the eighty five billion dollars worth of cuts which will kick in later on friday it's noon in washington as the sequester and would see significant reductions on military and to mastic spending but republicans and democrats just can't agree on what to do i need yo
