particularly about the european arrest warrants european arrest warrant is the first part of the process whereby we are integrating our legal systems with those of the european union and of course what you got to remember is that the anglo-saxon common law model adopted by the united states and canada and us and countries around the world is completely different from the continental napoleonic system now under our system you have to be charged with a specific offense but police have to gather the evidence before you're arrested goes to a trial we have high abuse corpus all these things that we take for granted on the continent you're arrested as a suspect you can spend a year or eighteen months in prison while i investigate the case before i even bring it to court against you now under the european arrest warrant we got rid of all the safeguards now if you are required for extradition under european arrest warrant the court deciding on that little power to refuse it they're not allowed to look at the profile of evidence they have to take all legal systems around the equally valid and non

of the european union is a disaster in the u.k. should quit so he says a european paula. it's spoke to him in london. today i'm talking to gerald batten who's a member of the european parliament for london said he's with the u.k. independence party which is a euro skeptic party and he's recently announced his intention to stand for leadership of ukip general patton thanks very much for talking to oxy you're welcome just but you won't write one small point in your introduction you describe this as a euro skeptic party that's not true skepticism implies some doubt we have absolutely no doubt one hundred percent that membership in the european union is bad for britain so we're not skeptical about that and no disbelief in the fact that the european union actually exists or we believe it exists i mean we're skeptical about life after death but as far as the european union exists and it's bad and there is no doubt in any you members mind that that's the case and tell me about the platform on which you're standing for leadership my platform is that i want you to go forward as a

the european union must also stay at the head of competitiveness. france will be all the more powerful if it sets an example for what it does on its own behalf. our ambitions with the prime minister and the minister of the economy to reduce competitiveness gaps with a high performing countries and to improve our growth potential, and that is why we have to free up taxes on over time hours. we decided not to replace one of every two civil servants taking their retirement. we decided to eliminate the professional business tax, which existed only in our company -- country. politicians on all sides denounced the lack of investment by our current -- companies. a business tax was levied against investment, and that is why we adept at the tax provision that supports corporate research, and it is the most attractive of all the countries. and we've granted our universe is -- universities complete autonomy, and we're reforming our retirement regime. europe requires this, and france will continue to reduce its public deficit, which will be 6% in 2011, and 3% o

parliament civil liberties justice and home affairs committee gerald batten says the european arrest warrant is just the tip of the iceberg the next thing that's coming along is something called the european investigation or a more happened there is european countries like greece remind me about the area they will be able to require the british police to actually investigate cases for them they can snoop on you that combined your telephone they can take you to you know your fingerprints and evidence what's wrong about all this is it's entirely one sided they're collecting the evidence for the prosecution as they've done in this case where they've interviewed witnesses but not for the defense critics say the arrest warrant and investigation order rest on the assumption that standard to the same across the board inside the e.u. but the prison where ben and george are likely to be held has come under fire from amnesty international inhumane treatment of detainees something the u.k. course refused to take into account nor and this r.t. . or let's take me through some of today's other wor

they were the largest european troop presence. but the war was never popular with european voters. spain was the first to withdraw its soldiers after a center-left government was elected. germany agreed to train iraqi police refused to provide direct military support. in the summer of 2009, britain completed its withdrawal from iraq. british prime minister gordon brown agreed with his predecessor, tony blair. giving testimony in an inquiry, they insisted the intervention had been necessary and justified. but their labour party paid a high price. it is now an opposition party. >> that was our in-depth look at the iraq war as american troops drawdown. stay tuned.

we don't wait until european legislation or regulation coming up. we also have no brussels, no belgium, but european towns, towns in europe, trying to find one another and to press, to put pressure on mayors and regional ministers to commit themselves to invest in bicycle policies. so those towns can learn from one another. as i told you, brussels, i have found several similarities with the two towns i have been getting to know now yesterday and today. we have about one million inhabitants. brussels is 10 to 10 miles on distance and i agree with what has been told here that that is in favor of promoting cycling because the distances are never too long, although we also have a difference of height. i mean, like amsterdam is plat as a pancake we would say. brussels does have some, well, ups and downs. an important issue politically is that we have -- we are, in fact, giving big gross national product to the country, 20%, although we're only 10% of the population, but yet most workforce is coming from abroad, from flounders, from outs. so they are comi

all the europeans are happy with the concept of the european european union i know what it means to be happy if i can kind of turn your question around and ask are there many europeans who are unhappy with the e.u. and i would say yes there are some but not because it would have been reflected in the national policies of the governments of the member states the euro skeptics are usually on the margins of political life and they are not even close to decent minority if they think about the new as a political force what does depend on it's easy to become a real political force on the world areana be told read a simple logical force of significance it it's a bit unusual because he doesn't have a knowledge of me he doesn't have. new it doesn't have all the usual requirements that are assigned to a state because it's not the state but it is such quite influential and it has. its presence is felt in many corners of the world in america for example. so it is a force to be reckoned with but its its significance is not braced on its military power or the threat of using military power it's not

because when you have the bank levy on the european basis for the european member states and others don't take one, it's very, yeah, it's a very crucial point that the money goes in that area where you don't have such levies, and for example, you know we are discussing about if when the united states and europe go in the same direction perhaps the next nice place to address that don't have all the regulations, and that could create a problem because it doesn't work when you make that relations. of course, it is to fear the levy could lead to a loss of competitive banks and could lead to other companies that do not have a levy in place. a document made no reference to transaction tax chilling any chance of bringing such measure on a global scale in the near future. the parliamentary checks supports the financial activity debt limited to high-risk transactions. i know that transactions tax with very small margins could perhaps and would create money to form the budget. it would be help to review the budget deficit from the last years, but as i mentioned it doesn't work because you can

today i'm talking to gerald batten who's a member of the european parliament for london he's with the u.k. independence party which is a euro skeptic party and he's recently announced his intention to stand for leadership of ukip job at and thanks very much for talking to r.t. you're welcome just but you won't write one small point in your introduction you describe this as a euro skeptic party that's not true skepticism implies some doubt we have absolutely no doubt we're one hundred percent membership of the european union is bad for britain so we're not skeptical about that and one of the key tenets of your opposition to the european union well first of all it's it's an economic and democratic disaster first of all there is no reason for the european union i mean the white soul was sold to people forty years ago and has been ever since is that we must have it to try and jobs we don't need it for trade jobs even the even the european union has backed down from what we need is trade with europe and the rest of the world friendship and cooperation we don't need to be members of this va

now thursday was interest rates day in europe both the european central bank and the bank of england followed market expectations and kept the policies the same. president. said the year is the economy was recovering faster than expected gave a further lift to the think current. bank in london it's just starting to. believe that some of the panic that was within the eurozone was a bit overdone that we do have structural challenges in the us as well the twin deficits are still there and also you know that there is this discussion between the european governments and the u.s. when they actually should you start to rein into your deficit and it's very clear that europe is a big mo in the side that you have to do it rather earlier than later admitted that we had a crisis the u.s. is much more reluctant so we think given that you have more austerity stands you have less willingness to provide a lot of liquidity in the european market this just helps the currency and we believe that your dollar will trade around one thirty five by the end of this year . you know the news rushes trade surpl

president, the european union and pakistan share a long- lasting friendship. last june, the second e u- pakistan summit set the basis for a strategic dialogue, which includes the promotion of disaster/risk reduction and the effective provision of humanitarian assistance. before this disaster, the european union have already allocated more than 400 million euros in assistance to pakistan for 2007 through 2010, on economic development and trade, as well as on governance and human-rights. today, i can say that the european union steps up considerably its support for pakistan and the pakistani people. since the beginning of the crisis, the eu and its member states have already committed over 110 million euros, and i'm pleased to announce that this amount will be increased by 30 million euros. this means in total that the european union has committed more than 140 million euros or the equivalent of $180 million. let me underline that this humanitarian assistance is provided on the basis of the principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence and ac

european identity is. a legal construct that is you know all the things that come with you peon citizenship and it is also political construct it is the policy of european integration do you think that this european union may be eroded its the concept of national identity by bringing all those member states so close together and by raising all the borders between them no one the process or fewer peon integration has done is written find national identity in the good old days of the battle days you know long before nations were identifying themselves in a position to. see there are sort of sold so many reasons for having so many wars in europe now it is them and we can cooperate mix and travel and still retain our national identity so you don't think that the modern globalized work has played to the advantage of national patricks isn't well you see i mean those two probably have very little relation to each other with well nobody's ation is about trading more it's not knowing or even knowing more therefore

identity things like freedom of conscience freedom of religion that are so very essential to european identity and we have fought so hard to achieve and maintain ok mona from go do you do agree with the g. populism. i think this is much more a result of silence what we've seen in in europe happening over the past few decades is basically the liberal camp being totally silent about those issues that are important what does it mean to be european today what does it mean to be muslim and european today and in this silence they have forgotten something else that we all of us who live in the west and that we enjoy after decades of fighting for as well and that is women's choice and women's freedom and in remaining silent what they've done is they've allowed the political right wing which is then a phobic and racist to basically seize the ground and dictate the debate but in a silence the liberal campus also armed the right wing on the muslim side what i call the muslim right wing so if the political right wing is engaging in this populism as miriam is saying the muslim right wing is equall

without the euro, we can't forget the european soul and the european market. when you need a single market, you need a single currency and it's very important, otherwise when you don't have this, you cannot come out like what we had a few years ago. we cannot afford to lose the advantages of the euro. we have to use all our energy and political will now to get the job done while the window of opportunity is still open. the crisis can be defined as a crucial and specific part of the situation or a trimming point. in the case of the european union, there's two options that break apart and emerge from the crisis stronger than ever. in my speech the last sentence is i believe in the latter option. it's very difficult and complicated, and you see to bring all the 27 member states with different interests gives you only one example. for example, germany has about nearly 25 percent of the gross domestic product in manufacturing, in industry. great britain has about 60 and 70 percent and france has less. in london and united states have less, but the industry we have

something called the european investigation order and what happened there is european countries like greece rumania both areas they will be able to require the british police to actually investigate cases for them they can snoop on you they can buy your telephone they can take you to your night your fingerprint evidence what's wrong about all this is entirely one sided the collecting the evidence for the prosecution as they've done in this case where they've interviewed witnesses but not for the defense critics say the arrest warrant and investigates in order rests on the assumption that standards are the same across the board inside the e.u. but the prison where ben and george are likely to be held has come under fire from amnesty international for inhumane treatment of detainees something the u.k. courts refuse to take into account nor and that r.t. london. got my thoughts on the story the e.u. war and systematists nobody darty dot com website of course our home page online twenty four hours a day just hit the discussion button on the stories that you thought also plenty of others

the europeans were able to react effectively. when we had to save greece, $110 billion euros were mobilized. to save the entire eurozone, a guarantee of $850 billion was mobilized. it would have been battle to take swifter action, beer subtraction. what history will remember -- swifter action. what history will remember it is solidarity and unity. what history will remember is that these problems represented an opportunity for the eu to make more progress in its economic governance. what history will remember is that, once again, franco-german understanding allowed this progress to take place at the crew showed -- at the crucial moment. we must strengthen the effectiveness of european institutions. the next stage, the next step will be economic government of the 27th. whenever is necessary -- whatever is necessary, meetings will take place in the eurozone. only a few months ago, the words european economic governance were taboo. today, europe recognizes that a true european become a governance is necessary and even essential. --

finally the british men are being forced to stand trial in greece because of the european arrest rule that the u.k. is powerless to stop their lawyers claim there's only evidence linking then to be seeing and stopping of a man who whilst they were on holiday in crete but doesn't know or any reports the law says they could be extradited without any proof. a last taste of freedom before these two young men are extradited to a foreign country accused of instigating a drunken brawl in a popular holiday resort in crete which left a man in a coma george holland's unbend herdman must go to greece following a european arrest warrant the warrant operates europe wide and doesn't require the extraditing country to present any evidence of people having been involved in a crime the links all having to go through to clear my name. just. know it wouldn't take. long for the person. look over this look at the evidence look at everything. look at the statements concerning more noninvolvement . and report back to the greeks from where the judicial for to look into the evidence in the case and then decid

and in france for the most part second sometimes fourth generation so these are european citizens for the most part who've been educated in this country many of them do not know the culture of their grandparents or parents particularly well and they have made a decision now a decision that you judge ill informed or presumably you also judge as ill informed the decision of some of the women in this is so if you but you wouldn't be there or consider for a second seeking to impose your perspective on then what you would say is it's very important to have education support networks at the grassroots which means that women who are being coerced in any shape way or form. to do generally things that i would leaving monza that they can imagine out of this coalition but you do not sacrifice the rest of those women who are making this. voice at the altar of the minority that's just wrong you are sacrificing. you are designing for icing for the women by taking this discourse it's so dangerous you know what's happening in u.k. in germany in. the area in the muslim community you know what they are

are the issues so i fight for the bad i am supported from by women from european and arab big country who are today. denouncing bits in syria is a ban and in is already in the university the need come i don't understand why in europe you can have a statement who say the right of the emancipation for all of the girls who are growing in europe and the reich say we're not listening to me migrated here to for example right all right listen if you are going to go just go you should already know that i did actually first is the first we're going to have to go to a break and we'll continue our discussion on the burqa ban when we get back stay with. you. wealthy british style. time to. go. to. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy is a report on our t.v. . welcome back across time to remind you we're discussing whether wearing the burka in public should be banned. but before let's see what russians think about wearing the islamic veil and the lower house of the french parliament has voted in favor of banning the book in public and other european countries i ex

european identity is. a legal construct that is.

you felt european, the european trading and economic system works. you didn't have to think what do we have to do to make sure we don't fall back into pre-europe? no one thought about that, but we could still fall back into pre-europe. >> rose: we could? >> i think so, yes. >> rose: what would happen? what forces would bring that into a reality? >> well, look at the pattern of protest votes, if you like, in not the poor countries which is where we tend to look for protest votes from the early 20th century model but it's poor countes tt tuascism and so on. look at countries like austria where he did so well getting 26% of the vote. look at france, lapin coming in second in the election of 2002. >> rose: that may have been a fluke, though >> it may have been a fluke, but he still gets 15% to 18%. >> rose: he always has. >> it's a solid block. he probably couldn't do what he did in the election again, but it does mean one pers in six is tempted regularly to say lapin is my man. but not just in france, the people's party in denmark-- which is now in powe

european economist b. c. bank thank you very much for joining us now european rates held at a record low for the fifteen months today should the e.c.b. be doing more to stimulate growth. as you said today the statement was actually in line with expectations. today was a bit more upbeat on the second and third quarter but actually also caution that there are there could be a slowdown and now when you question whether they should be doing more i think at the moment that's not really the mood that they are in and it's rather a question of see how quickly they can exit more though tony just for the protestant measures here we believe actually that they will have to continue some of these measures are you full allotment policies at least on one week maturity level and well into next year at the same time we do not think that they really have to step up could it be provision be more aggressive in other policy areas because we can actually see that slowly things are improving we are hardly bullish on the euro zone b

and economy is. -- other european economies. others are still struggling, like greece where output fell over the same period. all that is important for british exporters like this one that benefits from growing and european economies. this manufacturer is seen accelerating sales thanks to foreign customers. >> exports are vital to our business. we have to look at new markets. exports in european countries are vital to the growth of our business. >> here is an example. what is made in essex is bought by shoppers in paris. if french consumers are feeling confident, that is good news for the u.k. economy. what does the future hold? there is anxiety in france and other euro zone economy is about whether the pace of recovery can be sustained. there are signs of confidence ebbing amidst fears about government cuts. we cannot assume there will be another big step up next time. >> when a secret military documents were leaked onto the net it caused an outcry and concern. a former director of the cia told the bbc another leak is inevitabl

we're not skeptical about that and no disbelief in the fact that the european union actually exists or we believe it exists i was skeptical about lot of that but as far as the european union existed it's bad and there is no doubt in any members mind that that's the case it's an economic and democratic disaster first of all there is no reason for the european union i mean the white soul was sold to people forty years ago and has been ever since is that we must have it to try jobs we don't need it for jobs even the even the european union backed down from that argument we don't need to be members of this vox bureaucratic organization in order to achieve that the other thing is the loss of democracy which although membership the costs billions of pounds every year which is wasted money what's actually worse than that is the loss of democracy. you can watch the full interview with dr nat one thirty pm g.m.t. right here on our team now the final stage of antiterrorism drills got underway in southern russia with security forces demonstrating how to handle a potential hostage situation sec
