the european union has sort of taken a step back down. interestingly enough you saw, you suddenly had a rash of european politicians, american politicians go into kias and speaking to the thousands of demonstrators who wanted the ukraine to sign an agreement with the european union whereas you haven't seen russian officials going there in making speeches trade they'll quietly been talking to the ukrainians. early at this point russia has one. russia is going to bail out ukraine. russia is going to hope that in the 2015 election mr. yanukovych gets reelected. if he doesn't then it would be a question about what ukraine would do in the future. i think this underlines the fact that at least for the united states ukraine is a long way away. there's just so much that we can do to get involved in the post-soviet states and russia's neighbors but there's a limit to that. we have many other foreign-policy priorities and in the bush administration at one point the bush administration wanted nato membership for the ukraine more than ukraine did. uk

a whopping one hundred twenty billion euros each year succumbs to corruption in the european union member states the figure compares to the blocks and tie our annual budgets you see commissioner cecilia strums says the extent of the problem is breathtaking of course live now to our c.s.a. europe correspondent peter all over well peter who comes out badly in the study. well everybody comes out of this looking a little bit shifty what we have seen though is the e.u. commission who put forward this report referring to corruption within the european union as breathtaking now upwards of one hundred twenty billion euros a year may have been done in in a back handed deals over half of the people in the european union half of the over half of those who were surveyed have said they think the corruption within the union was growing now what has raised a few eyebrows an issue to garner a few column inches is just who's put forward this study need the e.u. commission or an unelected body they're also the body that has been accused of putting forward some of the more ridiculous laws and rules and regu

skeptics are constantly saying about the european union and it also may serve to discourage people from the scene in the election in any european election at all oh well they think if i if i don't really know enough of someone telling me i don't know enough then maybe i won't bother to vote but we'll have to see how that pans out come may i discussed reading the statements and the attitudes to them in british society with stephen walt from the u.k. independence party in peter wilding founder of the pro british influence group. today vivian redding should hang her head in shame and be completely embarrassed and barrister on two fronts first calling the people of britain too ignorant to be able to understand the issues to vote and also she said that brits are too lazy compared to e.u. migrants i believe that she should apologize to the people of this country for the statement she's made today well that comes from a guy whose party leader nigel farage started the year off by saying thirty million remaining in a bulgarian immigrants are knocking on the door of the u.k. first of all thirty m

threatening there will be erosion of the relationship european union. this initiative is not compatible with the treaties which are signed between switzerland and the european union so this will lead to. the erosion of the existing preachings they will be. there finish them and then switzerland is in a very very unfairly were because it depends highly on the european market well for now upon and of immigration are still a minority but opinion polls have shown the initiative gaining traction there could of course always be a surprise at the ballot box and will simply have to wait and see for this evening's results to find out we're putting in zurich switzerland i'm lucy kaplan of. a corruption pandemic is so whipping in here member states brussels claims losses to shady deals amount to hundreds of billions of euros. there are estimation that corruption costs in the european union is no less than one hundred twenty billion euros each year and that is the equivalent of an e.u. annual budget so it's a lot of money we're talking about the figures were reveal

so we can play as a european union a decisive role. we can do it without sanctions and a common action. and then my third point is we need a common credible strategy for the future. there's the conference which was already mentioned, and i think that is necessary that the commission is preparing an emergency macro financial system because we cannot wait for the donor conference to do something in the next days and the next week. i think we need to also not only have a cessation agreement, but to announce that agreement with some facilitation and liberalization and not for the groups or the oligarchs but for ordinary citizens, for students, for scientists who can use that. we need that third part of the strategy to prepare. let's be honest. it's a huge start to be sure but it is transferred in a democratic election. it was never democratic in ukraine. the way they are giving the seat to people in the parliament is that the candidates are in contact with an oligarchs and the electoral campaign of the candidate and later that's the way th

union as a european parliament don't have enough overview over what's going on what's going on in the member states for instance also with e.u. funds that are meant to be used in specific ways but on not meant to advance ways so what we need is more control by the e.u. but also control within the e.u. and then i have to say that olaf for instance which is the e.u. ante for all of this is not independent as an organization because it has to report to the european commission all right that is true problem yes indeed think it's a much for sharing your views with us here on international running out of time so we have to leave it there that was field glass and would be from the flemish nationalist bombs belong. all a breach of citizens' privacy in germany is apparently too much even for the country's leading hacker organization the camera's computer club is suing chancellor merkel and the government for failing to prevent the u.s. and britain from spying and germans are just spoke to one of the activists behind a move. we have strong indications that the german government. and or her toge

have a similar agenda on creating a more -- european union. if mr. cameron wants to discuss in those terms. if he talks about repatriating powers, negotiating treaties, just one member state, i don't think he will get anything. >> howard, the e.u. could do less but do it better. that is a line that came out of a briefing that i read this morning. that sounds like a good idea. do we need to leave the e.u. to get a better outcome? >> is it possible that we can negotiate a better outcome from within. it seems the risks we're taking in going to that extreme is quite significant. >> well, i think risk is a word that comes up in order to promote people's fierce. if you look at some of the most prosperous countries in the world, highest g.d.p. per capita, high eths wealth per capita, like switzerland, norway, countries like australia. emerging countries like israel. singapore. they are prospering because they have flexibility and they can pursue economic policies, which are in their country's interest in order to promote growth and jobs. do we want to be as

the european union has taken a step that now. interestingly enough he suddenly had a rash of european politicians, american politicians going to key have been speaking to the thousands and thousands of demonstrators who want the ukraine to sign an agreement with the european union whereas you haven't seen russian officials go in there and making speeches. they have quietly been talking to the ukrainians. at this point russia has one. russia is going to bail out ukraine. russia is going to hope in the 2015 election mr. yanikovich gets reelected. if he doesn't then there would be a question about what ukraine would do in the future. i think this underlines the fact that at least for the united states ukraine is a long way away. there's just so much we can do to get involved in the post-soviet state of that there is a limit to that and other foreign-policy priorities. the bush administration at one point ,-com,-com ma the bush administration would it nato membership for the ukraine within the ukraine did that ukraine is an intereste
