'Bailouts' are a means for total subjugation of nation states - Nigel Farage
Support: www.ukip.org | www.ukipmeps.org | http • European Parliament, Strasbourg, 23 October 2012 • Speaker: Nigel Farage MEP, Leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), Co-President of the 'Europe of Freedom and Democracy' (EFD) Group in the European Parliament - nigelfaragemep.co.uk • Debate Conclusions of the European Council meeting of the 18-19 October 2012 - with statements by the European Council president Herman Van Rompoy and the Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso [2012/2640(RSP)] Transcript: Well, Mr Van Rompuy, when you first appeared here in what proved to be a rather expensive speech, I said you'd be the quiet assassin of nation state democracy. And sure enough, in your dull and technocratic way, you've gone about your course. But I have to say, you're even worse than I thought you were going to be. I thought it was just going to be a federal Europe - a federal union. But actually it appears with every statement you make that what you now want is the total subjugation of the states to completely undemocratic structures based in Brussels. I misread the bailouts. I thought that when the bailouts happened - and I could see the panic around this chamber, people fearing the economic meltdown. But you of course were calm through it all, because you saw the bailouts as your opportunity to take control. Just think how Ireland today is managed. Greece, for that matter. The sinister-sounding Troika [Commission-ECB-IMF] come in, 50 officials spend a few days in ...

Nigel Farage on the Rise of UKIP, the Fall of Europe, and the Parallels for the US
check us out on Facebook www.facebook.com Follow us @ twitter.com twitter.com Welcome to Capital Account. Nigel Farage is a UK politician with a strong US following. He has seen his own party, UKIP, grow from a fringe faction to a viable mainstream alternative. By turning his European Parliamentary position into a bully pulpit for a growing movement of euro-skeptics, he has managed to ride an alternative political wave sweeping across the Atlantic. And many of his speeches before the EU have gone viral on the internet, particularly on the financial blogosphere in the United States, making the man and his United Kingdom Independence Party a force to be reckoned with. Nigel Farage joins us in studio to discuss all this, as well as what happens behind the scenes of Europe's Parliament and give us a sneak peak at his relationship with other MEPs behind the new iron curtain! Also, the IMF said Europe's banks may need to sell as much as 4.5 trillion dollars in assets through 2013 if policy makers fall short of their pledges to curb the crisis. This is 18 percent more than previously estimated. The failure to implement fiscal tightening could force EU banks to shrink assets, according to the IMF, and this painful deleveraging might crimp growth. We talk to Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party and Member of European Parliament, about how much pain is still left in the Eurozone. We ask him if he has been surprised at all, by the resilience of Eurozone leaders in their ...

euronews interview - Human rights: judging the top judge
Human rights in Europe is the specialist subject of Jean-Paul Costa. This French judge presides over the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. The court can concern itself with any citizen of the 47 member states of the Council of Europe. It was 60 years ago, just after the Second World War, that the 10 founding governments of the EU signed the European Convention on Human Rights. Since then, the Council of Europe has expanded and with it the protection of rights and freedoms of Europe's citizens. ... www.euronews.net

The Council of Europe will launch a probe into pharmaceutical companies accused of manipulating Swine Flu data. This follows a claim by a renowned German scientist that vaccine manufacturers pressured the World Health Organisation into declaring a Swine Flu pandemic seeking to increase profits.

Preparation for the European Council meeting (28-29 June 2012) Council and Commission statements [2011/2920(RSP)] B. Multiannual financial framework and own resources Council and Commission statements [2012/2678(RSP)] Transcript: "Another one bites the dust. Country number four, Spain, gets bailed out and we all of course know that it won't be the last. Though I wondered over the weekend whether perhaps I was missing something, because when the Spanish prime minister Mr Rajoy got up, he said that this bailout shows what a success the eurozone has been. And I thought, well, having listened to him over the previous couple of weeks telling us that there would not be a bailout, I got the feeling after all his twists and turns he's just about the most incompetent leader in the whole of Europe, and that's saying something, because there is pretty stiff competition. Indeed, every single prediction of yours, Mr Barroso, has been wrong, and dear old Herman Van Rompuy, well he's done a runner hasn't he. Because the last time he was here, he told us we had turned the corner, that the euro crisis was ...

euronews I talk - Human rights in Europe is getting worse says Commissioner Thomas Hammarberg
www.euronews.com Chris Burns: "The Council of Europe's Human Rights Commissioner, Thomas Hammarberg, wraps up his six year term at the end of this month and he's going out with a bang not a whimper. The former head of Amnesty International, he accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977 on behalf of Amnesty says the human rights situation in Europe is getting worse not better. "It's your chance now to ask questions to Mr Hammarberg, who is joining us from Luxembourg. Mr Hammarberg, wrapping up your six year term, how does it feel and the fact that things are worse and not better after six years..." Thomas Hammarberg: "I think that I am a bit disappointed there is no ground for complacency in Europe about our human rights performance. One reason of course is the economic crisis, which has undermined the social rights for quite a number of people as a consequence of the austerity budgets but also I feel that the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in New York on the 11th of September 2001 has not had a good effect on the respect for human rights. People have been arrested and tortured even when there was no real proof that they had been involved in the planning of this terrorist attack. And torture, of course, should be absolutely forbidden." Chris Burns: "Well, lets take a look at how the situation is now and get some questions from some of our viewers. Lets take a look at our first question now."

Once upon a time, local democracy
This video was produced by the Council of Europe's Centre of Expertise for Local Government Reform as part of its programme to strengthen local and regional government capacity in Ukraine, and was funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency - Sida. Its aim is to raise awareness of the importance of strong local government for enhancing the quality of local life. As the level of government closest to local communities, local government is often better placed for responding to local needs. They have a better knowledge of the local environment, the local people, their culture and traditions, as well as of any special geographical advantages or difficulties to be accounted for. Public services and administration organised at this level are often better adapted to the local context. The Centre of Expertise for Local Government is a body of the Council of Europe which supports member States in the delivery of good democratic local government. It was set up following a decision of the Heads of State and Government of the Council of Europe when they met for a third summit in Warsaw in May 2005. Through this initiative, Council of Europe member States recognise the on-going importance of decentralisation and the essential role of effective local authorities in a sound democracy. The Centre responds to the challenge of building up the capacities of local authorities -- and their Associations -- to be able to provide good leadership and deliver local services ...

Farage: 'Good Europeans' would break up the eurozone

I thought the award bizarre, particularly as this morning, what we are discussing are a new range of measures that will further pile on the agony for those southern Eurozone states. Europe is now split from North to South with increasing violence and enmity between the peoples of the North of Europe and the South of Europe. So I don't think the peace prize was really very appropriate. Not of course, that it will pose you a problem tomorrow because there are no leaders in those southern European countries who frankly have got the courage to stand up to the might of Brussels and to challenge the Eurozone project. But what you will have at tomorrow's summit yet again, is the curious case of Mr Cameron. Because on the one hand, he is a big ally. He resists having a referendum. He publicly states again and again that he wants ...

euronews interview - 'We need to bring immediate end to the violence in Syria' Ban Ki-moon
www.euronews.com UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon is in Strasbourg for the World Forum for Democracy at the Council of Europe. Euronews caught up with him and asked him about the main challanges faced by the international community and the future aims and goals of the United Nations in an ever more fragile and uncertain world. Giovanni Magi, euronews:" The Arab Spring has raised hopes all around the world, but the transition to democracy seems very difficult and in some cases adds new geopolitical tensions. How can the UN can contribute to this transition?" UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon : "I'm sure that wind of change will continue to blow. We have seen very positive developments in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen and elsewhere, while still we have troubles by the continuing violence in Syria. And therefore we need to help those countries in transition. That is one of my top priorities as the Secretary General of the United Nations. We need to bring immediate end to the violence in Syria. Nineteen months have passed already, more than 20 thousand people have been killed. I myself and together with joint special representative Lakhdar Brahimi will continue to consult with the countries, key countries, to resolve this issue as soon as possible. This is our political and moral responsibility to help those people." euronews:" In the last General Assembly you said that you are against the threat of military action by one State against another.
