if recent were to abandon the e.u. at a time of crisis wouldn't that cause major problems in the u.k.'s relations with the eurozone members. you know the use having a crisis because the us having a crisis and it's not it's not doing the right things i mean you know it's their responsibility to sort things out the government in this country has implied to them continuously over the last few years that they need to sort their problems out and how to do it but unfortunately you know with the euro crisis in brussels are doing absolutely nothing but they should be doing to sort their problems out and it's really not britain's problem and i think britain is right not to be dragged into the mire with the rest of europe. also we know the u.k. independence party has a growing support base of the tories starting to come around to their vision. you know i think some of them are i think the real risk here is that they don't because you know that the tories that i've heard speaking since that initial results have indicated that the

in the e.u. and the wider world particularly the developing world to increasingly crack down its tax havens it's certainly going to need to promote a very serious regime of automatic information exchange the first steps of that board being taken and i think it should definitely be going a lot wider at the summit leaders are now molly the blast list of tax havens how far can brussels go to force these states to give up their status as a given that the majority of them are not even part of the e.u. it the issue certainly is much wider than the e.u. alone. tax havens are within e.u. territory certain tax havens are you members and some have very strong relations with europe so. brussels and the e.u. leaders do have a certain amount of leeway in the goshi actions with these territories party yes the issue is so much wider and it has to be tackled at a g. twenty level and o.e.c.d. level a un level much it's much bigger than york alone and how big is the tax evasion issue in terms of the u.k. when you

well the e.u. is definitely getting through changes now but where is it all heading that's what we're asking you on our website today at r.t. dot com well over half of those who voted so far say we will end up financial collapse and possible dissolution while around a quarter predict in pollution into a virtual german empire no less sixteen percent today will just carry on losing its weaker members along the way and a minority four percent of you who voted so far today are more optimistic saying evil manage the debt crisis and grow stronger so you can cast your vote if you haven't done so already at r.t. dot com. and while you're online find out should others consider you were exhibiting during its largest economy some say it's germany who should leave if not the bloc in the euro currency. also europe was there long before britain joined in french president francois hollande for rates the u.k. after it's sure to reform the e.u. that's all on our website. it is time for us to settle this question ab

e.u. arms embargo on the country expires a push led by britain and france mance the union to fail to agree on extending the sanctions some european countries are now sounding the alarm over the prospect of weapons falling into the hands of islamic extremists as a renegotiation now reports. you can say that it was the win for france and the u.k. have been pushing for a lifting of the arms embargo on syria all along you have to know that at the same time all other sanctions particularly the economic ones remain in place and that means that every individual european state will have to decide whether or not they want to proceed with the shipments of arms to syria will have a hague over it he said the lifting of the arms embargo is the only way to end the crisis which has been gripping syria hard for more than two years at this point having said that we have to remember that even the most of the e.u. countries there's a strong disagreement on whether or not it is actually a good idea to lift th

future in the e.u. is getting serious air time at home that we're better off out now whether britain should remain in the gate for britain to leave the european union to those that britain would leave behind think about an e.u. with no u.k. britain it's important but the truth is of course you are could survive without britain it still would be european union it would be still a very large market it is possible it is thinkable we can have a european union without britain among germany's euro skeptics there's a grudging respect for their british counterparts challenging brussels bureaucracy however they fear they could be in for more of that bureaucracy should the u.k. leave it will probably have a backlash for the european thinking and then they may think well now we have these oddballs and we can go even further with the way of centralizing everything and even overregulating more than we have already and how do the german people feel about britain looking into divorce. if they want to go than they shou
