journalist neil clark he's been closely following the story neil now that ukraine has halted these trade talks with the e.u. who's actually the bigger loser here. i think we're going to talk about losers but we should be to well winners and ukraine's had a great victory today i had a strange week ukraine they lost in the world cup qualifying playoff to france on tuesday but today is more important really because this deal would have been a disaster for ukraine it would have wiped out millions and i mean millions of jobs it would have risen prices in the ukraine and i think it is a lucky escape really because i think that this deal was bad news for the ukraine it would be like somebody today going back in time to nine hundred twelve and buying a ticket for the titanic it would have been a national suicide for the ukrainian government to sign this and yet they were very close to signing this deal was just a week away what really prompted that u. turn do you think. what i don't really know but i think it's great news and i think that obviously russia's come in there and try to persuade the

ukrainian deal when i joined live by journalist and broadcaster neil clark i know it's good to see you neal thanks for coming on r.t. international today we are witnessing frustration on both sides of the fence brussels disappointed at the u. turn by president on a code which i'm going to cope with himself stressing economic pressures neal what went wrong. well i think he's made the right call here because i think the important thing is what we see is the best deal for the ukrainian people the russian deal or the e.u. deal and i think any objective analysis would come to the conclusion it's the russian deal because it's all right for western the e.u. fanatics to sit there in brussels or london to say ukraine should join the e.u. should sign this trade deal putting things in practical terms would be a disaster for the ukrainian people it would be gas prices going up the prices going up unemployment going up industrialisation so i think you have a choice the e.u. deal is a very bad one the russian deal is much better it's a simple as that really neal but we're hearing that are ultimately

could be possible when a new president comes into power in ukraine however journalist and broadcaster neil clark believes both e.u. and ukraine are better off without each other e.u. doesn't need the ukraine really i mean the e.u. is is close to bankruptcy itself a lot of the country the if you're a bankrupt or very close to it and you think the e.u. will be concentrating on trying to sell the form of its products in portugal great to spain but it is going to get added to right to west of the e.u. fanatics to sit there in brussels or london to say ukraine should join the e.u. treaty so on this trade deal putting things in practical terms would be a disaster for the ukrainian people it would be gas prices going up the prices going up unemployment going up the industrialisation so i think you have a choice. and peter and his guys debate ukraine's rejects it easy your bed and just how attractive the deal was for cave in the first place that's in today's crosstalk . the european union doesn't have money to hand out ukraine needs an awful lot of money and everyone knows that the european union

angus neil says why paper sent a very positive message to the nation. it's really an amazing amount of information that has been put at that and yes i think people do have the information to make the choice people to be inspired in scotland the reaction is that there are people already who felt that they would also on the face of put up side towards no who've had the positive messages to do you have seen or knew that there's a level of detail that is on this level of detail that is accessible to them and this of course we knew that people who who do have some kind of information on independents are more likely to support this white paper is only going to increase the movement in the polls with a nine percent of the moment that's less than a five percent swing referendums of this kind are usually have bigger swings towards the end and we're very very optimistic on the u.s. side that the people of scotland will indeed make the right choice. meanwhile as the politicians make their case for in a panic as we heard what voters in glasgow had to say i wanted t

and over that period would generate approximately one hundred forty four thousand new jobs so what neil what what do you have against one hundred forty four thousand new jobs and thirty billion dollars in additional economic activity we're going to disagree the evidence clearly shows that jobs are lost it also shows that they're going to shift to more part time jobs what have it ready already the part time jobs are killing this country they are because i've read about wage hasn't gone up since i've seen sixty eight people who are working part time are more likely five times live in poverty than those working full time so let's raise the minimum wage you're going to push him you're going to push employment out of these communities tom that's the problem let's create an environment where entrepreneurism can flourish and we can create good paying jobs in this country i'm not satisfied with nine dollars an hour but you don't mandate it from the government you're just going to destroy businesses that way tom it's going to be a so ever. it is never and businesses are going to leave the commun

confront and resolve these fundamental crises of the twenty first century that's what william strauss and neil talk about in their book called generations a history of america's future and this is what i discuss at some length in the book to explain why it is that our generation got into such a major confrontation with the world war two generation of george herbert walker bush and ronald reagan in the others and that is what we need to train our people the next generation the millennial generation to partner with us to address these fundamental crisis. yes that's what the book is all about i think that what the people's advocate is about and i think i think you've actually nailed it in fact it's astounding to me when i travel around the country speaking on these issues the audiences are made up of people in their twenty's and people in their fifty's and sixty's and seventy's daniel she and you were at a brilliant book you've lived an extraordinary life and you continue to do extraordinary work the people's advocate the life and legal history of america's most fearless public interest lawyer it

journalist neil clark believes the idea that joining the e.u. means prosperity for ukraine is nothing but a myth. all the countries that have signed up to e.u. deals their economies have suffered badly and it's the economies that haven't belarus for example that look at it that have done much better so there's a great myth that you know for countries of the x. oceans bloc countries that you've got to join the e.u. or sign trade deals or the e.u. to have prosperity is actual opposite if you want your country to be ruined then join the e.u. or sign a trade deal e.u. is a sinking ship it's the titanic of twenty thirteen and no one in their right sense of the right state of mind what to join a sinking ship or buy a ticket to join a sinking ship so the ukraine's future must lie i think with russia with belarus and kazakhstan in a customs union this is the way ahead for ukraine it would suit the ukrainian economy well ukrainian president viktor eunuch overage said the country will still continue to be on the euro integration path but is it possible fo
