in fact, there's a lot of your skepticism in britain as well. there's one eurosceptic being interviewed is being asked why he was so skeptical and so hostile and so anti-euro what he was against anything european. the interviewer out of frustration several why are you so against it? is it ignorance or apathy? man replied, i don't know when i don't care. [laughter] and the euro -- the euro at the moment is undergoing a difficult time because greece has got a financial problem. they find it difficult to get tax revenues and and it's got a big publics that are. dana scott banks that really were over lending and particularly in the property sector, some that have been in america and particularly also an island as well, which is a huge problem because they overbuild property. as a result of them lending money to property develops that can never pay that money back. you've got portugal with a lot of private debt which is people outside. they ask if you got all these problems and it got all this help from his individual countries, can the euro itself s

i think it's got to survive even the white did not want britain to join the euro. i think what to make a decision you have to make it work, and it can be done to make it work. you've got to bring together the three difficult issues. the fiscal deficit, the bank like ability such as talked about and the inability to grow, and if europe can only solve its fiscal deficits but not grow the massive unemployment, if it can not solve the bank liabilities then you got big, big problems ahead because banks will not be lending money to businesses and you will have low growth in the way steve got to have a meeting of the leaders to get together to look of the problems and find a way forward in one swoop dealing with these problems and ideas how you might do this but it's important to do this in private and then see the initiative from the market because the countries are being picked up one by one so you hear about greece a few months ago and then ireland a few weeks ago and portugal and spain next if you have to seize the initiative and one of the lessons we learned in 2009

and also because of travel to to those countries britain has become known as the tb capital of europe pull some of felt from tb alerts which aims to draw attention to the threat of tuberculosis thinks that's a bit strong but still it is the one country in western europe where the numbers are continuing to reuters it can affect everybody but most commonly it affects people who are poor and that's to do with perils ringing when you. close proximity of poor immune systems and so on it's a shocking indictment of the way poor people live in the u.k. particularly those who originally come from abroad but unlike in other countries where tb is a problem in the u.k. it's no longer limited to the poor or those with chaotic lifestyles stemming from drug or alcohol abuse or homelessness sharma pereira is a middle class journalist who's lived in the u.k. since childhood she was ill for five years we can tired with debilitating night sweats before doctors finally diagnose tuberculosis deep in my heart i knew something was wrong i'd stopped working i'd stopped doing all the things that i normally do

britain's bankers are in line for some big bonuses again this year how do you feel about that. look you know politicians and central bankers particularly in america and in britain made some disastrous errors in the late ninety nine says allowed the banks to massively overextend themselves. and we finished up by yelling out these banks i can quite understand why the man in the street finds it appalling that people with money but the difficulty is that in global finance he's a competitive market and what we really want is we want. to be propped up with public money to be profitable we want to get a decent return on the money that we put in and that means that the top talent within those banks so if people are generating huge profits for h.s.b.c. or whoever else that is if people are generating massive profits you have to reward them because if you don't they move somewhere else and i know that sounds unpalatable but it's the truth all right not european parle member and leader of the euro skeptic u.k. independence party thanks very much indeed for being here with us on the progra

> well, i would have talked about the battle of britain if i'd been asked to. [laughter] i, i have an unconscious affinity with the underdog. i'm not quite sure how it developed. what brought me to ulysses s. grant was that he was so clearly an underdog who succeeded but who, nevertheless, kept on feeling that he was an underdog even when he was commander in chief of all the union armies and even when he was elected twice to the presidency of the united states. there's no question that everybody thought the royal air force in 1939 was the underdog when compared to the germans although everybody was wrong about that. and it's certainly one of the attractions of the battle of britain that we are seen both we the royal air force and we as british, as having been the underdogs who succeeded against a very powerful enemy. ike was an underdog in the sense that he certainly did not shine at west point, and late in his army career he was still a lieutenant colonel and never expected to rise higher. indeed, his highest ambition was to be promoted to the rank of colonel,

but the main reason -- the naval college in britain is called dartmouth and i went there for all the exams and everything and happily passed full-time and i went for medical and so forth examinations and everything went swimmingly until what turned out to be the last day they gave me a big ringed back binder with a series of colored circles in which were dots and they said, what number do you see and i said 47 and the doctor said 47 i beg your pardon?eg 47 and what do you see the next page 23 and he slammed the book, you may not know this but you're red ring colorblind and her majesty takes a dim view who are red ringed colorblind driving her very expensive warships around the world and you better do something and i ended up as a geologist which allowed me wander about and i became a journalist but remained determined to wander around the world. and i've done ever since. so it's not a life that has brought me great fortune but it's brought me great interest. thank you very much.

why there's a huge problem with the britain's inability to deport generally. being part of the european union we often can't deport people but country of origin because it may contravene the european convention on human rights on top of this there's a systemic problem where the huge backlog of cases and we have something like a half a million backlog of cases simply can't be processed and can't be dealt with quickly enough so you have a lot of people and that's the migration last year into the u.k. was around two hundred thousand people more coming to the u.k. than leaving it to any of that on top of the asylum seekers and the backlog and of course we're going to have a massive problem so i look at the situation being resolved. well i think britain has to be a lot more stringent on who are allows in the country for a long time now the perception is that britain has become a soft touch on immigration now of course there is a a decent way of dealing with immigration control in an immigration but the problem with statistics like we hear today is that it impacts e

in fact, a lot of your skepticism in britain as well. there was one skeptic being interviewed on bbc which many of you will know about the news program, and he was being asked why he was so skeptical, so hostile, so anti-the euro. why he was against anything that was european. and the interview out of frustration because he was getting a right interested, why are you so against it, isn't ignorance or apathy? and the man replied i don't know and i don't care. [laughter] >> the euro at the moment is undergoing difficult times because greece has got a financial problem. it finds it difficult to get revenues in. and it's had a big public sector. spain has a different problem. spain has got banks that really were over lending, particularly in the property sector, something happened in america particularly also, in ireland as well which is a big problem. it's a huge bank debt as a result of been lending money to property developers who can never pay that money back. and judah portugal which has a lot of private debt that is owed the people out

britain is not in the euro. we're not going to join the euro. i side the euro, but there's vast things i can get into if you want me to. britain has a real interest in the euro succeeding and sorting out its problems. 50% of the exports go to the e.u., 40% go to other countries. we won't stand the way of the euro sorting out its problems, but i believe a country the size of britain, it makes sense to have our own >> i work that and i want to build on that. i mentioned china once in an extremely important way which is china is one the engine's of the world economy, and that is extraordinarily welcomed in a number of years when growth in the world has been so weak, but i think the brittish-china relationship is strong and can get stronger. when i went to see president hu, we talked about being partners for growth because just as china wants markets for its products, it is also looking for countries to up vest in in europe, -- invest in in europe, and britain is probably the most welcoming, most globalized economy in the world. it is one the easies
