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

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

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

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

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

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

and europe that peter well the general reaction here in europe over all of the n.s.a. spying stuff is that these are spies spying is what they do but what it's come to business well there's a lot of trust that's involved in the deals that go on across the atlantic and it has really damaged the trust we were talking to people for other shows at all to about the. it's a big a base level of trust that now has been perhaps irreversibly damaged by the spying that's gone on we've seen that the european union now certainly doesn't essentially trust its u.s. partners its voted to suspend. relationships that would have exchanged data of it with the data which was supposed to be there to. to help combat terrorism which it turns out may have been used to to try and look into business deals as well as well as don't look into the the private banking finances of european citizens so what is the big problem is trust and that's just not there anymore and pay it seems like bad timing because obviously we've got a transatlantic deal still pending between the two economies that how much

ambassador in paris we've seen a reaction coming from individual entities across europe here and other countries that say for example in germany telecom has been pushing to have all of the data communication just limited to local german servers in order to stop spying from outside specifically the united states and also brazil had planned on having a secure email service also to thwart spies but on a broader scale the e.u. with set to sign a vote on a new regulation essentially bans any transfer of the data from e.u. member states to the united states in reaction to all of this is the first major move really after the edward snowden leaks and also it would hope to subject a large a us or foreign corporations as well as social media providers to follow laws or say seventy five's numbering in the billions as has been reported so we are seeing backlash from all levels even up to the highest levels here in europe against the n.s.a.'s activities. the repercussions from edward snowden's revelations are affecting not only governments but also journalists in today's cross talk piece of analyse

playing on industries on the big companies from europe so it's just the way. that the french president. benjamin the french president e's going to react to this what he is reacting is saying that he's going to press for a new europe wide data privacy rules at the e.u. summit this week do you think though that some sort of regulation really would work . when the french president he's going to react to this. you're right at the moment the. protection of the british which is quite important because we have to protect our personal and sure that big company is. not spying on our daughter and that was prison. but it's clearly not enough because of course. those companies are. down to their own regulations. gave them. the authorization to spy on us for the n.s.a. and not to be reliable. just like their contract doesn't exist at all so of course we have to do something and. that was one thing in the article of today we don't know whether or whether the french secret service was working within the say. they say was doing it on their own. about relations. for the story

why wouldn't we spy on europe to help europe, too? >> here's the thing. you have the chairman of the judiciary committee, senator leahy, one of the committees in the hour, james sensenbrenner work the authors of the patriot act. we don't seem to know who is in charge. it is conceivable that the head of the intelligence is spying on our president's cell phone. so we don't know who is in charge. and we think they've overstem their bounds. you have people who were authors of the patriots act saying our intelligence agents have gone too far. not to mention that jail clapper came to congress and lied and that he was not doing surveillance. he was not collecting any data on americans. so there is a lot of trust being lost and i think there is a great deal of credibility lost. and we have to trust our officials if we're going to let them have such sensitive information about our personal lives. >> your fellow tea party backed republican marco rubio is among those who seem to support these programs. we've though there has been a huge lack of transparency. here's

where europe's nationalists make the situation better or worse while it's saying that. the scenario will be in the future we are parties that are. kind of violence or any kind of extremism in the sense that we want to make solutions out of the parliamentary democratically elected system we want solutions for the people and solutions for the economy and that's why we have nothing to do with any kind of violence or extremism whatsoever we are politicians with a politic for the actual member of for the actually the actual way the european union is dealt with by the classical parties we are a political alternative and not a way to extremist right talking about greece's golden dawn ponce it leaves many immigrants in the nation scared of racism of racist beatings i want the difference between what they do and what t.t. while the parties are working within the democratic parliamentary system and we want to do so we want to change the system we want to change the way the european union is dealt with now but we do not want any violence any comparison with the critics the greek s

and europe that peter well the general reaction here in europe over all of the n.s.a. spying stuff is that these are spies spying is what they do but what it's come to business well there's a lot of trust that's involved in the deals that go on across the atlantic and it has really damaged the trust we were talking to people for other shows at all to about the. a base level of trust that now has been perhaps irreversibly damaged by the spying that's gone on we've seen that the european union now certainly doesn't essentially trust its u.s. partners its voted to suspend. relationships that would have exchanged data of with the data which was supposed to be there to. to help combat terrorism which it turns out may have been used to to try and look into business deals as well as well as don't look into the the private banking finances of european citizens so what is the big problem is trust and that's just not there anymore and pay it seems like bad timing because obviously we've got the transatlantic deal still pending between the two a condom is that how much you think

you want to enter our territorial waters they fish they load the fish on to the ships and leave europe. today illegal fishing is taking the bread out of our mouths. hello again nato member turkey is coming under fire from its allies for considering a multi-billion dollar military contract with china resulting talks for the chinese firm to co-produce a missile defense system either the u.s. insists the deal is incompatible with natives defense framework list of hussein but she explained what's motivating turkey. the american. system is always so that the americans control the entire system if it is the lord rare as china offering turkey to produce together. to control. together and provide turkey along control of the entire system or part of the sides agree the deal would be a purely commercial decision over the us is still holding discussions with turkey on the matter of s. about she told us that ankara wants more leverage in its relationship with washington. the turkish government. of course negotiate this situation with the americans but the americans have to make this concession tha

why wouldn't we spy on europe to help europe, too? >> here's the thing, erin. you have now the chairman of the judiciary committee, senator leahy, the chairman of the judiciary committee or one of the committees in the house, james sensenbrener, two authors of the patriot act, now saying the head of our intelligence because we don't see to know who's in charge? it's conceivable that the head of the intelligence is spying on our president's cell phone. so we really don't know who's in charge. we think they have overstepped their bounds. but you have people who were authors of the patriot act now saying our intelligence agents have gone too far, not to mention that james clapper came to congress and lied and said he wasn't doing surveillance, wasn't collecting any data on americans. so there's a lot of of trust being lost. i think a great deal of credibility lost in the intelligence committee. and we have to trust our officials if we're going to let them have such sensitive information about our personal lives. >> your fellow tea party-backed republican marco rub

given just how oppressively some of europe's workers are taxed. punish workers i'm not talking about rich work is i'm talking about minimum wage workers are paying almost fifty percent of the total remuneration almost a third goes in social security payments and almost another twenty percent goes in different income taxes so work is the paying almost half the salary to the government and they're not getting much in return and they're having to pay more with the tax increases and getting less from all the cutbacks so obviously the very angry and annoyed and they're looking for alternatives and they don't trust the politicians anymore because we can see that the politicians are the first ones to cook the books this in around july colson explain why in this case spaniards have so little trust in their government added to bill and to put it as they are taxes to good use. spain's popular party is now in the news in a major corruption scandal in which politicians are accused of having received on the ground economy payments cash payments. the socialist

and europe that peter well the general reaction here in europe over all of the n.s.a. spying stuff is that these are spies spying is what they do but what it's come to business well there's a lot of trust that's involved in the deals that go on across the atlantic and it has really damaged the trust we were talking to people for other shows at all to about the. it's a big a base level of trust that now has been perhaps irreversibly damaged by the spying that's gone on we've seen that the european union now certainly doesn't essentially trust its u.s. partners its voted to suspend. relationships that would have exchanged data of it with the data which was supposed to be there to. to help combat terrorism which it turns out may have been used to to try and look into business deals as well as well as did look into the the private banking finances of european citizens so what is the big problem is trust and that's just not there anymore and pay it seems like bad timing because obviously we've got the transatlantic deal still pending between the two a condom is that how muc

ambassador in paris we've seen a reaction coming from individual entities across europe here and other countries that say for example in germany telecom has been pushing to have all of the data communication just limited to local german servers in order to stop spying from outside specifically the united states and also brazil had planned on having a secure e-mail service also to thwart spies but on a broader scale be you with to sign a vote on a new regulation of essentially bans any transfer of the data from e.u. member states to the united states in reaction to all of this is the first major move really after the edward snowden leaks and also it would hope to subject. a largely u.s. or foreign corporations as well as social media providers to follow you last or say seventy five's numbering in the billions as has been reported so we are seeing backlash from all levels even up to the highest levels here in europe against the n.s.a.'s activities and among the priorities of the new law is limiting data collection to the minimum necessary while also protecting an individual's right to ra
