and i didn't show any of the families the film until it was completely finished. and i'm very -- they're the only ones that i cared about. and we showed some very difficult moments in their lives and relationships. >> did anybody get mad at you? >> they all liked the film. i think it's weird to watch yourself and your family on a big screen, but they all responded very positively and came to our big screening at the apollo a few weeks ago. so i was really happy about that. >> and as we said earlier, madeliene sackler is a duke graduate, grew up in greenwich connecticut living on 88th street in new york city right now. and my guess is about 27 years old. >> i am 27. >> we're out of time. the lottery is the name of the documentary. thank you for joining us. >> thank you so much. . .

>> coming up tonight, prime minister's questions from the murders house of commons. and then president obama's and canadian prime minister stephen harper's remarks at the g-20 summit. then harry reid.

then another look at "q&a." >> who left us in this mess? who left a budget deficit of 155 billion pounds with absolutely no proposals to deal with it? who put forward -- john >> order. >> now from london, prime minister's questions from the british house of commons. earlier this week, the british government unveiled some of the toughest tax cuts and british history. it dominated much of question time this week. david cameron defended his budget and answered questions on the mission in afghanistan and on the gulf coast oil spill.

>> questions for the prime minister. lisa nandy. >> number one, mr. speaker. >> i am sure that the whole house will wish to join me in paying tribute to marine paul warren from 40 commando royal marines, who died on monday, and to the member of 40 commando royal marines who died yesterday. we should constantly remember, and show our support for, the services and sacrifices made on our behalf by our armed forces and their families. this morning i had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. in addition to my duties in this house, i shall have further such meetings later today. >> lisa nandy. >> the coal field communities regeneration program breathed new life into places like wigan after the devastation caused by the pit closures in the 1980's. michael clapham's review is very welcome, but the decision to freeze the funding will devastate our economy all over again. can he reassure my constituents that he is not simply seeking

to close down the coal fields all over again? >> of course i can give the honorable lady that assurance. let me first of all congratulate her on her election to this house, and say how much we want to make sure, in spite of the difficult decisions that we have had to make in the budget, that we go on helping and regenerating communities that face difficulties. i have visited the site in wigan where the new lads and girls club is to be built. that is the result of excellent joint work between the private and public sectors, and we need many more projects like it. we will have more to say about that next week. >> simon hart. >> the prime minister will be aware of the vital contribution of the 23,000 territorial army and other reservists who have fought in afghanistan, iraq and the balkans in the last six years. so far, 22 have lost their lives in those operations, and the ones who survive are twice as likely to get post-traumatic stress disorder than their regular counterparts. what recognition and support can the prime minister give to

the thousands of employers who routinely allow staff to volunteer, train and engage in reservist activity and who, by doing so, are critical to our military success in those operations? >> my honorable friend is absolutely right to raise the contribution that our territorial army plays in serving our country. he is right to remind us how many people have served in iraq and afghanistan. there are some 600 volunteer reservists serving today. standing up for our armed forces is not just a government responsibility -- it is a social responsibility, and something that we should all do. we should pay tribute to those businesses that help people to volunteer and take part. we should remember their service in doing that as well. >> ms. harriet harman. >> may i join the prime minister in paying tribute to marine paul warren from 40 commando royal marines, who died

on monday, and to the member of 40 commando royal marines who died yesterday? they fought with bravery and they died in the service of their country. the chancellor announced yesterday that the government will bring forward relinking the basic state pension to earnings to 2011 rather than 2012. can the prime minister tell us how much money the treasury has set aside to pay for that next year? >> actually, what the chancellor did yesterday was more complex than that. he said -- and this is an extremely important point, and honorable members will want to listen. we have a triple lock in place to make sure that the pension upgrade is at the highest level possible. next year, therefore, because of what we expect with rpi, the pension will be upgraded and increased along with it. when she gets to the dispatch box the next time, will she confirm that labour's plans were to uprate benefits by less

than the consumer price index? >> harriet harman. >> there was nothing complicated at all about the question, but it was one that the prime minister did not seem to want to answer. the answer is that they have not set aside a single penny for that big promise to pensioners. next year prices are due to go up more than earnings, so bringing forward the earnings link by a year does not give pensioners anything extra. but though pensioners get nothing from that change, we all know they will pay more in vat. the chancellor promised to provide help for pensioners. i am sure that pensioners, including those in the southwark pensioners action group, or spag, which the honorable member knows well, will want to know. are pensioners better off or worse off as a result of the

budget? >> i have to say to the honorable lady that there is a danger in asking the second question without having listened to the first answer. the first answer is that the pension will be uprated by rpi, than earnings next year. in terms of how much money we are putting into the state pension system -- how much, they ask? 1 billion pounds over the parliament. 1 billion pounds. what a contrast. in 13 years, they never linked the pension back to earnings. we have done it in two months. >> no, he is not being straight about this. we know that there will be no increase in the pension from linking it with earnings a year

early. you will not benefit from the cut in tax from raising the personal allowance either, because you do not get that if they are over 65, but they will pay more vat. the chancellor promised to help pensioners. won't he admit that pensioners will be worse off under his budget? >> perhaps i could recommend to the honorable lady the budget red book, although in her case i suspect it is the unread book. [laughter] if she looks at page 41, she will see 1 billion pounds going into the state pension system in this parliament. what a contrast. we all remember the 75 pence increase for pensioners. under our triple lock system, that can never happen again. >> page -- [unintelligible] [laughter]

>> page 41, table 2.1, item 48 states, "basic state pension -- introduce triple guarantee". money set aside -- zero. he is not being straight about his promise to pensioners. can i ask him about families with children? families with children, with an income less than 40,000 pounds, may be breathing a sigh of relief that they still have their tax credits, as that was on the news last night. but is that right? can he confirm that -- as he promised in the election -- families on less than 40,000 pounds will not lose their tax credit? >> what we are doing is making sure that the less well-off

families get the most money. what a contrast again. since 2004, child poverty went up 100,000 under a labour government. in this budget, child poverty does not go up by one single family. >> harriet harman. >> once again, he is not answering the question. the truth is that, despite the chancellor's promise, the budget small print shows big cuts in eligibility for tax credit. the prime minister promised that no family on less than 40,000 pounds a year would lose child tax credit. will he admit that that is not the case? will he admit that there are families on a joint income of 30,000 pounds who will lose all their tax credits? >> the point that the honorable lady has got to address is who

left us in this mess. who left a budget deficit of 155 billion pounds, with absolutely no proposals to deal with it? who put forward -- [unintelligible] >> order, order. i apologize for interrupting the prime minister. this level of barracking is unacceptable, and i can tell the house that it is detested by the electorate. it must stop. prime minister. >> thank you, mr. speaker. who put forward 50 billion pounds of cuts, without outlining a single penny piece? the whole country can see what is haapening here. one party put us into this mess. two parties are working together to get us out of it. >> harriet harman. >> i think that what the electorate detest is broken promises, and people will want to know how his budget will

affect them. he was not straight with pensioners. he was not straight with families. he was not straight on vat. when the chancellor got up to present his budget, he proclaimed, "i am not going to hide hard choices in the small print of the budget documents. you are going to hear them straight from me, here in this seat." is not the truth that that was his first promise and that he broke it even before he sat down? >> the right honorable lady talks about broken promises. we remember, "no more boom and bust." what happened to that promise? we remember, "prudence with a purpose." what happened to that one? we remember, "we'll protect the poorest," when they took away the 10 pence tax rate. the fact is that the labour party has got absolutely nothing to say about the biggest problem facing this country, which is a massive budget deficit. they might be adopting greekonomics, but we are sorting

out the problem. >> paul maynard. >> given the size of the structural deficit that we have inherited, how many apologies has the prime minister received from members opposite for what they have left behind? >> first, may i welcome the honorable member, who, i know, will speak with great passion for his town of blackpool? we should congratulate it on its footballing success recently. on that note, i am sure that the whole house will want to show its support -- yes, including all members -- for the england team this afternoon in their key game. i have not yet received a single apology for the appalling mess that we have been left, but at some stage, the party opposite will have to wake up and realize what a mess it made of the british economy. >> karen buck. >> will there be fewer police officers at the end of this parliament compared with the number that we have today? >> what we want to do --

[unintelligible] opposition members have got to start getting serious about the task that we face. we want to do everything that we can to keep police officers on the streets, to have money going into our schools and to keep up spending on our hospitals, and the only way that we are going to be able to do it is if we deal with the problems of excessive welfare spending. so if honorable members want to see police on the streets and if they want to see well-funded schools, they have got to back us on housing benefit and on welfare reform. that is the way that we can keep spending up. >> chris pincher. >> will the prime minister join me in congratulating the "daily mirror" for highlighting the terrible 172% increase in unemployment in tamworth during the recession? further, will he encourage that august journal to place the responsibility for that grizzly legacy squarely where it lies?

>> i thank my honorable friend for his question. i think that i am right in saying that it was in tamworth that i came face to face with the "daily mirror" chicken, which was one of the most enjoyable episodes of the election. he is right about the unemployment figures, and one of the most important things that we have got to do is to introduce our work program, which will be the biggest, boldest scheme in the history of this country to get people back to work. that is what needs to be done, and that is the best route out of poverty. >> chris evans. >> a 25% cut in public spending in wales, together with a hike in vat, will hit wales especially hard. does the prime minister now accept that he and his liberal friends have let wales down? >> i do not accept that at all. the worst thing for wales would be to continue with the budget deficit and rising debt, and to see our economy slide down. the choice in terms of the budget is the road to recovery from this party, or the road to ruin offered by the labour

party. >> john thurso. >> is the prime minister aware of the interesting progress in the european project for fusion research, of the opportunity for a materials testing facility to come to the united kingdom, and of the suitability of dounreay to deliver that work? will the government support such an application? >> my honorable friend speaks with great knowledge about scientific issues. it is important that we lead in such areas. his constituency, with dounreay, obviously has a huge technical edge, so i shall take his representations seriously. >> pamela nash. >> i am sure that the prime minister is aware of the send my friend to school campaign, in which my young constituents at victoria primary school in airdrie are involved and about which they will be writing to him this week. it aims to ensure that the government direct the 8.5

billion pounds that was committed by the previous labour government towards universal primary education by 2015. this will be discussed on july 7 at the education summit in south africa, which is tied in with the world cup. has he personally spoken to president zuma and other african leaders bout their pledges, and will he confirm that a review of the department for international development's funding will not compromise their pledge? >> first, i welcome the honorable member following her election. i think that i am right in saying that she is the youngest member of the house of commons. she is quite right to talk about the millennium development goals and aid spending. it is good that it is common cause across the house of commons that, in spite of the difficult decisions that we will have to take, we should meet the target of 0.7% of gross national income. we are committed to doing that, which means that we can continue to support the poorest people in the poorest countries. we will be addressing such issues this weekend at the g-8 in canada. >> graham evans.

>> yesterday, there was support on both sides of the house for raising the income tax threshold by 1,000 pounds. does the prime minister agree that the government that does that have to explain where the money is coming from? >> my honorable friend makes a good point. i noticed yesterday that everyone in the house supported the idea of raising the income tax threshold so that we take 880,000 people out of tax altogether. if people are going to support such a pledge, which could cost as much as 4 billion pounds, they have to say where the money is coming from, but so far we have not heard about one penny piece of one saving from any labour front bencher. in terms of labour's election for leader, it does not matter who that is, because they are not giving any figures to show where they would find cuts. until they do that, they simply will not be taken seriously. >> david crausby. >> the building work for the new 20 million pound maternity supercenter in bolton is pretty

well finished, but can i be assured that the government's decision to review the "making it better" program in greater manchester will not affect the expansion, and particularly the funding, of bolton's princess anne maternity unit? >> absolutely nobody is proposing closing the new unit that has been set up. the honorable gentleman will know that decisions that were taken about greater manchester caused a huge amount of pain in that vital part of our country. my right honorable friend the secretary of state for health is asking the nhs to ensure that we meet the needs of patients locally, rather than just conducting top-down reviews that lead to the closure of much loved units. >> andrew selous. >> will my right honorable friend tell the house what discussions he has held with the u.s. administration to ensure that bp remains a strong and viable company? >> i am grateful to my honorable

friend for raising this point. i have had two discussions with president obama so far, including a very good telephone call last night. i made the point, especially in the earlier phone call, that of course bp wants to pay for the clean up and to stop the oil gushing into the gulf, and recognizes that it must pay money in respect of fishermen and others who have lost their livelihoods, but we want to ensure that the company remains strong and stable for not only our benefit, but the benefit of the united states. i believe that 40% of the company's shareholders are in the u.s., while 39% are in the u.k., and it emppoys more people in the u.s. than it does in the u.k., so it is in all our interests that it is strong and secure in the future. >> helen goodman. >> yesterday, the chancellor of the exchequer told the house that, in april 2012, there would be no more children living in poverty than there are today. unfortunately, two thirds of the cuts in tax credits and benefits come after that date. will the prime minister give

the house his forecast of the number of children living in poverty by the end of the parliament? >> what i would say to the honorable lady is that, for the first time in any budget -- certainly since i have been in the house -- we have actually published the distributional tables on what happens to income. labour never did that. we have done it for 2012-2013. in terms of what happens towards the end of the parliament, i am pleased to say that there will be at least another three coalition budgets, which we look forward to introducing, to make sure that we go on to protect the poorest in our country. >> peter bone. >> in the closing days of the previous parliament, anthony steen trafficked through the house the anti-slavery day act 2010 to highlight the problems of human trafficking. the government is required to announce a day for anti-slavery day. what progress has been made on

that front? >> my honorable friend makes a very good point. i admired the work that anthony steen did. we have not set a date and he gives me an important reminder that i must get back to my office and make sure that we do. >> david cairns. >> for over 20 years, sky news has provided an excellent source of impartial news and analysis. [laughter] can he give a guarantee that, whoever ends up owning bskyb, it will not be allowed to turn into fox news, and that there is no room here for shouty, reactionary propaganda passing itself off as fair and balanced news? >> the very idea of shouty, reactionary propaganda being passed in the house of commons is such an appalling thought.. as i am sure we all recognize, these are matters for my right honorable friend the business secretary, who will be looking at them very closely.

>> matthew hancock. >> can the prime minister tell us that, until yesterday's budget, the benefits for some of the poorest in society were to be increased at a rate less than inflation, and therefore cut in real terms? >> my honorable friend makes an excellent point. the labour government's plans were to increase benefits by less than consumer price inflation next year. they left a -- they do not know this, the dupes behind the front bench. >> [unintelligible] >> i think dupes is an accurate description of what i am looking at. there was a 300 million pound black hole, and you do not have to be a "star trek" fan to know that when you are in a black hole, you should stop digging.

>> fiona mactaggart. >> in the interests of informing the dupes behind either front bench, and in respoose to his answer to my honorable friend for bishop auckland, will he agree to publish the tables for the years following the one that has been published in the red book, which is very welcome, so that we can advise him on how to improve the impact of his policies on child poverty? >> what a pity the honorable lady never made this point in 13 years of government. where were the distributional tables in the budget after budget that we -- the poor dupes who were sitting at the back -- had to listen to the honorable member for kirkcaldy give over and over again? we have published the table for

the first time. between now and the years the honorable lady talks about, there will be further budgets, where we will make further progress in helping the poorest families in our country. >> dr. julian huppert. >> does the prime minister agree with several generals, many members of the public and myself that trident should be included in the strategic defense and security review? does he agree that if there is a case for retaining it, that would come out in the review? and if there is not a case, it should not be kept? >> my honorable friend will know that this was carefully negotiated in the coalition agreement between our two parties. my view is clear -- britain should retain the nuclear deterrent and we should always keep that insurance policy against great danger. although i think that there is a case for looking at the costs of the trident system and seeing how we can bear down on them, i do not believe that we should have the wider review that he speaks about. >> the reverend william mccrea. >> yesterday, we were told that resolute action was necessary to

deal decisively with our country's debt. does he believe that it is acceptable that members' allowances are being paid to members of the house who neither take their seats nor participate in the work of the house? when will that injustice be remedied, as he promised before the election? >> the honorable gentleman makes a very good point. my views about this issue are on the record, and they have not changed. i would like to see if we can make the argument. there is not a case for sinn fein members not to take their seats. i think that at the moment we let them off the hook, so i would like to re-examine the argument and see if we can find a new way of doing this. >> guy opperman. >> saturday is armed forces day. in my constituency of hexham in northumberland we have hundreds of royal artillery servicemen who have recently returned from afghanistan and will receive the freedom of the town. when they are off duty, they will receive multiple discounts

from dozens of stores, restaurants, and pubs that are doing their bit locally. does the prime minister agree that it is everyone's duty, not just in the house but all around the country, to go the extra mile and show the gratitude that we all have for our brave troops? >> i very much agree with my honorable friend. as i said earlier, this is something that the whole country needs to do, not just the government. yes, we have our responsibilities to make sure that we are living up to the military covenant and are doing all that we can for our armed forces and heir families, but it is something that communities, individuals and businesses can do, too. i understand that in hexham, there will be a nine-hour forces celebration. when those servicemen and women are off duty, there will be discounts, as he said, from restaurants and pubs, so i expect that it might get a bit lively, and i am sure that he will join in the fun. >> angus robertson. >> a consequence of yesterday's budget and vat rise is 26.5 million pounds of new overheads for the nhs in scotland. having promised to ring-fence health spending, will the

treasuryynow cover those costs, or will this be another broken promise, just like lib dem opposition to a vat rise before the election? >> of course, our action on national insurance contributions has saved the nhs money, which would not be available under a labour government. the point i would make is that that benefits scotland. the fact that we are protecting the nhs and nhs spending means that money will be available in scotland as well. the shadow health secretary has now said that health should not be protected, and that the nhs should be cut. that is now, take note, the official position. theeleader of the opposition is nodding -- cutting the nhs is now official labour policy. >> dr. julian lewis. >> number 13, mr. speaker. >> i thank the honorable gentleman for his question. we are conducting a counter- insurgency operation in afghanistan. he asked specifically about the military purpose of routine foot and vehicle patrols in
