i think that you know the heartland of europe northern europe asia is robust and has been chugging along quite nicely you know its growth its growth rate as a practical thing they're doing at the moment is to put in this sort of banking union and that's that's the first step and really the way out of this problem i think is to create a federated union. where you start mixing fiscal pen and money people join the european union is that what they wanted to join maybe not and of course it's going to be incredibly difficult and i'm not saying there's going to be a federation but me that's i think that's that's obviously the solution to this problem but that's a rational intellectual. thank you so notion but it's not it's not a political solution that's tenable you know if you don't you'll have you'll have states pulling out of the. euro land if that happens i mean obviously the u.k. has already said it hold a referendum and the feeling within my home country has you know they were telling me if we're not going for it it's solution you know a viable solution that would work we're just left wit

this is how you get into europe. another very shocking, provocative headline writing in "the guardian." he said the boat sinking was no accident and it should and could have been prevented. because the mediterranean a graveyard in his article and he points the finger at the far right politicians in his country, italy, like the northern league you have whipped up the xena phobia to create a climate that is so hostile to immigration reform that it is very hypocritical of italian right wing politicians to point the finger because they are at fault as well. if we just go to france here, another very provocative front page. this is a magazine that comes out weekly here. very much on the left. just translating slightly this headline that says, the mediterranean is now applying this program is a caricature. this is very far-fetched, basically trying to align the two ideas, potentially libelous and they do not shy away from this. again, pointing the finger at far right politics in europe. >> meanwhile, another country trying

and we welcome valentin kreilinger of the pro-europe think tank, notre europe. you can always join the conversation on facebook and twitter. #f24debate. right now, fabrizio bertot, a meeting of the pdl party taking place. there has been some dissent in the ranks. five cabinet members have slammed the door of the coalition. let's state the record clearly. did they do the right thing, following berlusconi's order to leave the government? >> i suppose they did. the opinion is that the economics cannot support an increase in the tax. i think that is the time to put order in our accounts. but we cannot do it -- >> is this really about raising v.a.t. or stopping silvio berlusconi from being barred from office? >> it is not a problem, berlusconi and the politics alone. if he wanted to do something, he had to do it. the problem is exclusively economic. i just saw an urgency about berlusconi, he declared that he is ready to take on all the economic arguments in the next week. we are ready to do our part for the improvement of what is necessary. but we need elections. peo

step ahead of the rest of europe and europe needs to follow along and it's one of things that. labor reforms they did ahead of this crisis and again we were talking about russia picking a bad time to reform europe's even a worse position because they don't have this buffer of money or borrowing and they need to do the reforms that germany has actually already put in place under schroeder. which is one of the reasons why germany is doing well but it's not just germany the periphery states also needs to tackle these problems and there doesn't seem to be much backbone to do it's you know their little nickel will exactly they're looking to germany for a hand in the end it's to throw money at the problem hope it goes away so you get through the election so i guess that's you know that's the big problem here because merkel was elected not to do such a thing yeah absolutely i like i fundamentally believe that your should stick to what i think we will see still significant problems in the pressure of europe i think that you know the heartland of europe northern europe asia is robust an

challenging europe polarizing its politics and on settling its societies. to extremism be sidelined that's the fear factor eliminated from the european frontlines. our guest today is tony robinson who used to be the face and leader of the english defense league street protest movement known for its strong anti islam stance tony it's great to have you on this program today now your recent departure from the english defense league surprised if not shocked both your supporters and opponents looking back are you proud of the a.d.l. leadership or disillusioned with it. on friday to form an english family completely . for too many years in this country working class people been ignored and no one to listen to their voice and within four years were up so much so that people around the world have heard what we're saying they've heard how we feel how we live in down at the bottom there's a massive gap between how people live in and what politicians dare speak about no politicians or none of our political elected leaders will dare to criticize and say the things they

and sends them off to europe. so by having a flag sometimes as far removed as mongolia when you're on your ship you are basically exempt from a lot of fishing rules because mongolia hasn't ratified certain treaties or as and is not member of certain fisheries management organizations so this way you avoid many rules and regulations to it's a clear new poll that needs to be addressed by the international community. the fishermen live day by day and what they earn isn't enough for them to make a living anymore. and that is why there are waves of migration towards spain with even if we get us all the list but to be also. before when fishing when good and it fed the people. fishermen had no need to leave for europe ever they had opportunities possibilities and they were not interested in migrating. to move to europe as the one that organizes the flight of africans to europe organizes illegal migration into the e.u. had helped us out in combating illegal fishing all the young fisherman who are abandoning africa instead

is europe sort of mass for a while merkel being reelected is very positive news for europe you know obviously to form a coalition gap but that'll do that'll get done i still worry for certain southern european states which has been indicated earlier you know have significant levels of youth unemployment there's a generation of voice to talent that so europe's got a lot of healing to do i think oh no gentlemen i mean healing yes but ben is it just another big bubble. which is a big bubble with quantitative easing i mean when you see this really all too easy credit out in the world right there in the united states it's a bubble it's a misguided policy i mean the whole point of easing and stuff loans is basically throwing money at a problem supposedly down the road so that you don't have to deal with it and the basic problem is to deal with the debts and have it because you know during the crisis the governments took a lot of that bad bank and just put it all on the national balance sheets and countries don't you know go bankrupt i mean they can default there but they don't go bankrupt

germany is always one step ahead of the rest of europe and europe needs to follow along and it's one of things that. labor reforms they did ahead of this crisis and again we were talking about russia picking a bad time to reform europe's even a worse position because they don't have this buffer of money or borrowing and they need to do the reforms that germany has actually already put in place under schroeder. which is one of the reasons why germany is doing well but it's not just germany the periphery states also needs to tackle these problems and there doesn't seem to be much backbone to do it's you know their little nickel will exactly they're looking to germany for a hand in the end it's to throw money at the problem but it goes away so you get through the election so like it starts you know that's the big problem here because merkel was elected not to do such a thing you know absolutely i like i fundamentally believe that you all should stick to what i think we will see still significant problems in the pressure of europe i think that you know the heartland of europe northern eu

europe in europe is so if the e.u. wants our fish it should accept our children and its country so it can't be that it takes our fish causing misery and then tells our children to stay in their country the main public health issue in the e.u. is obesity. in our countries the main public health issue is famines so this injustice is not sustainable either we live together in a fair and it gala tarion world or we share a world of terror because you would you apply can't tell you how many are in the ocean with the sea bottom is full of pirogue with the dead bodies of our children young people who left in search of adventure. when i was a child i would come to see because i loved it a credit boom or would you do it as the son of a fisherman who is proud to go out to see. his dream is to become a captain one day after the murder of me. how little i had no money to support my parents so i decided to take the perogue and emigrate. i didn't care about the danger or if i would live or die my dream was europe so that i could help

. >> now, you bought some companies in europe. europe turned tough. still great acquisitions. explain to people how it works. you have tightened the ship in europe. wouldn't be a dollar in sales now would produce a far greater gross margin than it would have been four years ago for you? >> that would be our expectation. you're right, we have taken a lot of capacity out of our european operations. we have worked on savings. i'm proud of the work our teams have done around the world. an additional 90 million of productivity savings. i think all that says is that we're a business that is really very tight in terms of our expense, resource and capital deployment. this increase get from 3% to 4% next year. we believe it could be very powerful. >> explaining the cycle of construction. you said we're seeing pretty good bidding activity ahead of us. and you're talking about 13, 14, 15. do you think it can be multiyear? >> i do. we all know residential construction is an early cycle activity. that didn't happen because we were coming out of the mortgage crisis in the u.s. it was led wi

and in europe. what surprised me is when the forming english defense league aside then talking to other european groups and looking into what was happening i was appalled and scrapes and shock of what's happening in sweden in momo you notice differences in france i was shocked to see where no one asked about my eyes to the problems of being a kurd and what we have to ask yourself is we've had immigration into britain we've had the sikh community the hindu community we're simply the community college community we haven't had the same problems and the same issues so we have the the issues are coming from the islamist ideology which has been allowed to flourish and spread across europe unchallenged and it's not just been allowed it's been facilitated and supported by a hard left far left agenda which many of these far list communists or marxist organizations which are very prominent in europe as well are siding with the islamists because they hate democracy they hate the rule of law they say is the big

fracking and europe is complicated. as long as they continue exploration, these protesters will remain in place, and that is ready much reflected across the continent. >> while the opposition to fracking and europe has taken the form of public protest to action, many individuals are feeling the effect closer to home. jack barton has the story. >> i reinforced easement helps hold up the house and the far north of the netherlands. it has been shaken by hundreds of earthquakes the government now admits is caused by conventional gas extraction. >> you can see one of the cracks on the wall. there are hundreds. >> no surprise he is alarmed the north is considered for trials of hydraulic fracturing for shale gas better known as fracking. >> their goal is making profits, making money, and not to take care of the earth, to take care of the safety of the people. >> he's not the only one in the region that is worried. about 10,000 houses have been affected here in the north of the country. a quarter of them have been repaired, and

what we have seen in europe and western europe is the session because of the prices. so the current euro strength can be be -- in its recovery. >> so while we're here in vienna, ger heart voice is with me. thank you so much for joining us on cnbc. results were in last week. i think we saw slightly lower production numbers and an issue, i think, surrounding what's going on in libya and some of the operations in north africa. the strategy, it seems to me increasingly is for you now to move your upstream focus away from the middle east and the north african market. can you talk to us a little bit about why you've taken that decision? >> yes. omv is a fortune 500 company. as such, we have moved into downstream and now we have changed much more going into up stre stream. therefore, made decision recently to move into the -- and we have two areas in europe. one is upstream and the other one is the deep part of the black sea in romania. >> but i conclude from that that, really, you've had enough in the instability in the middle eastern region and that it's better to bring it

horrible things have been happening to migrants trying to get to europe. tell us about that. >> yes. it's really just a quirk of geography that has made this tiny island so important. it's something like eight square miles. there is only one village. you can see it behind me. otherwise, it's a scrubby, barren place but though those thousands of people sitting out on ricketing badly may tained boats from the north african shore, typically from the libyan shore, this is the first part of europe which they reach. ? >> it's been voted the most beautiful beach in europe, but how easy it is to forget the drama, the tragedy that plays out every day just a few miles offshore from lampedusa. the italian navy has sent one of its biggest ships to help with the crisis. we were allowed on board and in the hole found a pathetic cargo: 318 people picked up at sea the previous night. most of the africans are young men. many are aratrayans who paid smugglers thousands of dollars to flee their country. >> it is very dangerous. >> and then there are the syrians of all ages.

the rest of europe. germany hs a renewable share of 25%. other countries will come there eventually and then they will have the same problems that germany has td. what are they? first of all, 25% renewables to a large degree in affordable tax is very expensive. post the industry as well as consumers are under the burden of very, very high energy bills that's not sustainable in the long-term. tekdly, germany has on its own stepped out of nuclear. we think the safety issue is a political issue. i think that's nos something that energy companies can be decisive on. they just act in line with the decision. the shutdown of the power plants was done independently. there's a lot of wind and a lot of sun, if not, the borders would be opening to the neighboring countries and we would be able to push the excess electricity into the neighboring countries. if that was not the case, then the system would be dead in germany. they have initiated a lot of things. they cannot solve it on their own. they need europe. >> w

it killed the artist lorenzetti and half the population of europe. it was the greatest catastrophe in the modern history of the west. but surprisingly, for some regions, the plague was a springboard for economic growth. [bells ringing] for the survivors, there were new opportunities. florence recovered particularly quickly. by 1400, this was the city-state that dominated central italy. but bankers and textile merchants were expanding their trading empires all over europe. over the next 100 years, an extraordinary interaction took place in florence-- the innovations of artists and architects, the excitement of rediscovering classical achievements, and the patronage of a wealthy commercial class. these key elements brought about a series of artistic and intellectual breakthroughs that came to be known as the renaissance-- literally the rebirth of learning and culture. in the church of santa croce, a series of frescoes painted around 1320 were to have a revolutionary effect on florentine painting. here, the great merchant families competed with one anot

but the time for more europe is over. they want to be more so fest indicated about how we do it. >> more europe is the answer. >> more sophisticated about how we do it. >> that's not what jean-claude trichet says. a federalist in the european commission are still -- >> i think we have too be a bit more selective about what we do. >> i'm not saying that's what i want. i'm just saying that's -- >> i know. but i'm exciting the european cause. i have to. >> the european cause is a federal europe. they have to. julia, thank you very much. >>> the italian prime minister is coming out saying he prefers a supernatural bank. we'll keep our eyes on that. meanwhile, the green finance minister says his company is still shrinking, but at a slower rate. gdp was likely to contract by around 3% in the third quarter, easing from 3.8% in the second. improved tourist revenues were cited for the better performance. >>> wooefk hearing from mr. charlie bean this morning. we just got the latest snapshot of uk public finances. september public n

we had an excellent quarter. >> we hated europe so long here we forgot europe is a big mark. a little turn could be gigantic for your earnings, couldn't it? >> we worked hard to streamline our businesses to emphasize productivity. we still had record operating earnings in europe over the first half of this year, so we're poised with any improvement in the overall economy. we think whole do even better if europe. >> where do you think that improve him is coming from? a lot of companies over there, some doing better than others. there has to be something, spain is doing better. is it every country is turning a little bit more? >> no, i would say we first saw the improve him in the u.k. you know, that's been the early indicator right now on a positive. germany has been good and i think we are seeing improvement in southern europe for the first time in several years but the other in use market that looks like it's stabilizing and getting some slight growth here in the fourth quarter is automotive oem, where actually they're projecting a modest 1.5% growth in auto bails in the fou

and in europe. we have put into law in this country binding climate change targets and europe looks like it's going to strengthen further from where we go which is a difficulty. i haven't looked at it. i have this wonderful app that shows how we're making our electricity hour by hour. on average 40% comes from cole but cole is being taken off the system. that means there's a likely rise that will take place on the wholesale market. it is very difficult. >> the sad thing is it is pointless if nothing is done about em carbon emissions. if we don't do something about it, all of this is for not. >> let's be very honest with our u.k. viewers here and possibly our european viewers as well. the london array, the new nuclear deal agreed with the chinese and edf as well. these are locking u.k. consumers into not only current prices but higher prices for years and years, in fact, decades to come. we're going to have much higher prices built in because eventually the government will not be able to subsidize th

their court was one of the grandest in europe. because this was a ing court, moving between the palaces of their scattered duchy many of their artistic treasures were portable-- tapestries, metalwork, and illuminated manuscripts. all this medieval extravagance was principally paid for by the burgundian netherlands, the most highly urbanized ar of europe. during the 15th century, bruges became the busiest port in northern europe while bruxelles and ghent became two of its largest industrial cities. [bells ringing] we can catch a realistic glimpse of flemish urban life through the window of religious paintings such as this madonna by robert campin. in italy 15th-century artists used perspective and the study of antiquity to depict a suitable setting for their religious paintings. by contrast, a northern painter such as campin in his merode altarpiece, saw no great divide between the past and present between the look of antiquity and the late medieval world. joseph, in his carpenter's workshop is depicted with detailed realism-- the

this church was completed in 537, just about when europe was entering its dark ages. for four centuries after that, christians in europe looked to constantinople as the leading city in christendom, and this was its leading church. this clever dome-upon-dome construction was the biggest dome anywhere, until the cathedral of florence was finished during the renaissance 900 years later. the vast interior gives the impression of a golden weightless shell, gracefully disguising the massive overhead load supported by masterful byzantine engineering. 40 arched windows shed a soft light on the interior, showing off the church's original marble and glittering mosaics. but the byzantine empire collapsed in the 15th century, and hagia sophia was turned into a mosque. christian mosaics were plastered over, and new religious symbols replaced the old. this church was built to face jerusalem. mosques face mecca. when hagia sophia became a mosque, they couldn't move the church, but they could move the focal point of the praying. notice how the prayer niche is just a little bit off-ce

china's richest man intertainment tycoon when you john lindsay unveiled his plans for europe targeting hotels luxury brands and cinema chains those talk more about china's cash splash political analyst professor joseph. city university is with us on the line how the professor nice to see so many private billionaires snapping up what they think to be undervalued companies in these hard times also state firms are cashing in too and they want a bit of the pie why now. certainly all china has a very big water chest among into more than three point two trillion us dollars most of this money has been invested in u.s. treasury bills with very low returns and a danger of depreciation so we have to stand trial for chinese investors to broncho to do wrong secondly europe has been probably more generous in terms of technology transfer less reservations based on strategic considerations and finally chinese exporters would like to extend their operations in durham upstream and downstream to mean king and even expand their market share just as a force that would come in because prices are low and in

>> not because germany does not make up europe. in any case, germany is a part because it is an aging nation, a rich aging nation, with a low proportion of immigrants to its total population. not so small, although that explains the difference. on the other hand, i would also reject the idea that the economic reasons explained the rice of the extreme. -- the rise of the extreme. it does not explain the far right as well as it explains the far left. for example, it in greece and portugal, it is mostly the far left which has been rising. the far right in greece is not so big. it is very extremist. while the former communists, you can trim the campaign. the left is very strong, two thirds of the electorate in the recent election. >> it is not one-size-fits-all. >> for the far right, the explanation is broader. we can to reduce this to the current economic situation. >> i would say basically, i agree. you can't bring everything down to the economy specifically but it provides a backdrop. if we were in the 1970's growing at four percent
