that's the way to solve the political crisis that's the way to get closer to this decision it was the european union you mentioned earlier the brutal use of force by the police and we've all seen the footage from kiev and i think everybody including president unicom and himself recognise that the use of force was excessive and as far as we understand the investigation is underway and before that investigation was even completed the chief of police have to step down so don't you think that in demanding nothing last then the resignation of the president himself the opposition is being a bit too excessive in its demands. well as of the moment we have heard some words not too many wars and we have seen no actions at all so not a single police officer has been punished for it after this bloody saturday we have not seen the minister of internal affairs in the parliament he was afraid to come to see the m.p.'s we have not seen a single senior officer stepping down so actually people are so angry as of the moment because in the parliament they expected that those who were responsible for this bloody m

move to a european federation, to a united states of europe. schoumacher: having a common currency in which to do business, having increased the integration of european business enterprises and other activities across borders is more likely to create a single european market rather than a fragmented market. what the euro means is that member countries will no long be able to have their own monetary policies. what that means is that the interest rate in france and spain and germany and ireland must be the same, thereannot difft terest rates because there is only a single currency. why is that a problem? well, if, for example, spain has an economic downturn, a recession, when they had their own currency, when they had their own central bank, they could cut interest rates and try to make their economy grow more rapidly and the spanish currency, the peseta, wod fall, relative to others, and that would increase their exports. the european central bank may say, well, europe's doing all right. we're worried about inflation, we have to raise interest r

countries maybe european institutions including the oil see may need to reconsider that approach to spreading democracy and maybe give a bit more thought see you the security implications that that process could have spreading democracy it's not a noisy concept and there are certain countries you mention libya this is really very little to do but you have. that. mansion and. libya requested to become a partner and it's still blocked powerfully in relation to the issues that you that you mentioned too from from beginning to the organization so we're really looking at libya as an external entity from but let's use it as a kind of an academic example and certainly this is something a we do not doing is exporting democracy as you see what we do we work with governments and it's a long term. always effort to promote a democratic evolution of these situations i personally don't believe in overnight change i don't think we can create democracies overnight this is an effort that always requires a long term a. long term engagement of everybody but there is one principle that is important to

the european union needs you and you need the european union and if you need it you will be simple you. know all that while many politicians in the e.u. blame rush out for interference in ukraine's internal affairs international relations professor mark bowden takes issue with the e.u. stones. the fact that they are essentially on the ground in kiev cheerleading the protesters are calling for a revolution in the country this is a tantamount to the regime change that has been called for in german newspapers earlier today this is a most agree just violation of the united nations charter and international law violation of sovereignty and the non interference in the domestic affairs of other states and i think russia cannot take the whole world community cannot take this agree just like that. and with a little less piggy bank crane wanted time to sort out the problem of with ever growing foreign debt and a range compensation form and an modernization program kiev said this could have helped to save jobs before it entered into any deal with the easy and robert oulds child the bridge group o

well the european union is a very undemocratic even anti democratic organization its main government the european commission isn't actually directly elected it's actually the forty two office see it is not really following. people criticizing the european union or voting in n y which is not in touch with its interests there's many cases where there's been referenda that have voted against you have been union integration for only more powers to brussels and these are often then dismissed in the public have to force to force a vote again until they both with the vote why boarding to what the european union wants it really does not tolerate people that disagree. and the situation in ukraine is another example ukrainian government has been bullied by the in union it's been threatened and actually had quotas put on its import so exports form ukraine to the european union trying to force it into a deal the ukrainian government has rightly decided that it's of economic interests . and now it's. by. it's up to. the government to try and force it. to put in. the book the poles didn't meet up

very active in taking its member states before the european court of justice because european court of justice imposes very large fines on companies and member states and so on trust legislation and so on but it has not really done this on many human rights issues. the message is clear politically speaking europe doesn't have the will or desire to make sure member states respect a fundamental right the right to a childhood. when autumn arrives in the fall garion village of revival get to know when the parents are back at work on the last stage after the harvest packing the dried tobacco. if you are you happy. has she been working hard. not really. they're only interested in money these kids and who have visited the tobacco for you this year put it. into what else in the world yes i'm satisfied they do work hard they listen to me they do what they're told and they also study. just like the gustav's the whole village is getting ready for the big tobacco sale. so when do the buyers arrive we have to bring our tobacco to a designated area. then it's they are the ones who decide they org

try to explain the advantages of european membership to ukrainian police. they couldn't name even a few ukrainian products that would be able to penetrate the european market and there is only one explanation for that is that there would be none indeed the european market is a very protected market and it is actually the ukrainian market that europe needs particularly in this time of in economic crisis so it is ukraine is viewed as an extension of the european market. and let's now take a look at how the ukrainian procedures have unfolded in the past couple of weeks so they started on november the twenty first soon after the government said it was suspending a major trade deal with the new rallies on the capital's independence square last night and not the week with several thousand demonstrators and police occasionally engaging in scuffles on friday night however security forces ran out of patients and raided the camp using sheer force to disperse the crowd authorities were quick to buy any protest in central kiev but this has only served to encourage. the

the european union with them if we look at the history of georgia will see that our ancestors in our country have always longed for and had aspirations in relation to europe and european civilization this is not something we have devised gotten down thus we continue what our ancestors started we are truly truck did by european values. with the as for other political aspects the european union implies a number of advantages which will open its market and make it available for georgia in production. and i believe it should make one proud to see products labeled made in georgia and european markets this implies gaining at foothold in the different market just for political aspects we're talking about safety security ability to and from the european union zone all this will have an impact on the welfare of our citizens. when i say they shall break now and when we come back we'll talk to georgia's new prime minister that i should make about join his ascension to nato and georgia going to sochi olympics in two thousand and fourteen stay with us. british. economy. welcome back to the show w

so you say that georgia shares the european values so you think that georgia is psychologically ready for instance i'm thinking last year is anti-gay protest bashing george you're ready to be tolerant like europe. i don't need a gun with those with well i didn't say that we're ready today what i'm saying is that we must develop incrementally step by step i see we're not here in the european union knows this better than anyone else we have many tests to pass if a student does not do his or her homework he or she will flunk that this is why there are grades in school. i can't say in what grade we are now what i can still use that we are moving in the right direction but all i can say is that it takes consistency i often use this wording because this is exactly what we need if nato membership is as important then this precludes good relations with russia russia has said on many occasions that it is against nato eastward expansion towards its borders and we're not talking about e.u. membership here this is something that threatens russia's national security how do you intend to solve this

the younger generation definitely wants the european union. the young people are -- that is important. i am a professor at university. i have a lot of students who are from east and south of ukraine. they would like to have a european perspective for ukraine. >> thank you very much for joining us. elsewhere in egypt, one policeman has been killed and 35 people wounded after a car bomb canal.d in a city on the regular -- have seen regular attacks since the army toppled president mohammed morsi. morsi.ident mohamed in south africa, thousands have again lined up to see president nelson mandela's body in its second day of lying in state. meanwhile, confusion over the sign language interpreter at the memorial service continues. --the tree that powers towers above the rest -- >> the sign language interpreter was making it up as he went along, to the outrage of deaf people around the world. his sign language had nothing to do with what he was supposed to be interpreting. on thursday, he provided a surprising explanation. >> i see angels in the stadiu

went to the europeans and they said we need a lot more money if this is going to work the europeans said that money isn't there and so at the very last moment they pulled out that's my own personal reading of this ok mark if i go to you here in basque i mean you know if you look at western media and some western politicians this is a tussle between the european union and russia but in fact it's about ukraine being divided in what kind of future it wants to have and i would agree with you and there are the unocal which is played this game playing one off against another and you know what he's got he hasn't got much to show for it. well peter i have family in the ukraine my family my wife was originally from the crimea and so i have family both in some for or in kiev and i can tell you that the way this is presented in the western mainstream media as the ukrainian people rebelling against their government is entirely. facetious this is a country that is extremely divided almost along the geographic and ethnic lines where you have a russian speaking east and south of the country that does n

the european commission is not against germany's green energy law in principle. it says some parts are justified. on his first full day on the job, germany's new energy minister said brussels was overstepping the mark. >> the commission is meddling in an area where there is no eu harmonization, using competition pools to interfere in national energy policy. >> it may be bad news for german industry, but berlin accepts things have to change. the coalition was planning to reform law early next year anyway. >> euro zone finance ministers say they have made progress toward creating a banking union that would police banks and tackle the problems. >> they appear to have agreed on one pillar of that banking union, which is how to wind down failing banks. there has also been consensus on how to shield ordinary depositors. >> in the future, european banks will have to guarantee private savings of up to 100,000 euros. it's a small but significant step towards an eu banking union. europe's finance ministers are now closer than ever to a deal on what is arguably the biggest
