britain will be excluded. the leaders return to the summit and angela merkel said this about david cameron. >> david cameron was at the negotiating table with us and we made this decision. what we couldn't do was make a lousy compromise for the euro. we have to set up hard rules. >> other leaders noted that britain had been alone in demanding concessions. the mood of britain seemed to extend to a ceremony welcoming croatia as the latest e.u. member. >> and last but not least, the united kingdom, mr. david cameron. >> the prime minister said he wasn't frightened of being left out of future talks. a new pact to instill discipline over their spending. what hasn't been addressed is debt and slow growth, the fundamental problems of the euro zone. gavin hewitt, "bbc world news," brussels. >> david cameron insists that britain will still have stig -- it's also prompted new reports for a british referendum on europe. nick robinson looks at mr. cameron's decision to go it alone. >> this picture might not make it on to

on britain's economy too.o the question of the council was not whether there should be greater fiscal discipline in the euro zone, but rather, how that should be achieved. there were two possible outcomes. either a treaty of all 27 countries with proper safeguards for britain, or a separate treaty in which euro zone countries and others would pool their sovereignty on an intergovernmental basis with britain maintaining its position in the single market and in the european union of 27 members. we went seeking a deal at 27, and i responded to the german and french proposal for treaty change in good faith, genuinely looking to reach an agreement -- [inaudible conversations] at the level of the whole of the european union with the necessary safeguards for britain. those safeguards on the single market and on financial services were modest, reasonable and relevant. we were not trying to create an unfair advantage for britain. london is the leading center for financial services in the world, and this sector employs

i do not know if britain can claw its way back from this. this is a bit of a fisher -- fissure opening up in the european union. it changes things drastically. it is not what this was about. it was about bailouts for indebted countries to reinsure markets -- reassure markets. >> is this the beginning of the end of the bureau -- euro debt crisis? >> you cannot expect a big bang solution. we know now that will not happen. we have had eight summits like this already this year. this is incremental. this is a piece of the jigsaw. chancellor kohl has said she hopes the market than other people are noticing that -- chancellor kmerkel has said that she hopes the market and other people are noticing that it is coming together. markets will decide on monday how important this was. it is hard to know. it seems to have been more an internal wrangle about the treaty than an effort to save the euro, really. >> is the last -- is it allows emergency summit we will c4 while? -- is it the last emergency summit we will see for a while? >> i do not think so. th

britain is alone. britain is marginalized. we will continue with these 26 countries. >> i will ask about britain's position in a moment. have you done enough to satisfy the markets? it will take quite a long time to get the actual changes agreed to. some of them will likely have referendums. there has also been a move to boost the bailout fund, as well. do you think there are enough funds going into this to convince the markets is serious -- markets it is serious? >> and so that is totally, legally solved -- greater stability in the market. >> people are obviously going to focus on britain's position. some of the member states have been worried about some of the details. germany pushing for euro bonds or intervention by the european central bank. why was it so opposed? >> before you take responsibility, it must be clear that such a situation will not happen again. therefore, this was a condition. it looks like angela merkel has reached the school -- reached this goal. she saw broader support then perhaps she did the day before

a strong britain inside of the european union. that is what the european monetary affairs commissioner wants to see. he says that it is unfortunate that britain has found itself in a position where it is not involved in the european union's economic decisions. >> for the sake of europe and its crisis, and for the sake of the british citizens and their perspectives, we want to swing at a constructive britain and europe. we want britain to be at the center of europe, not on the sidelines. >> well, the european union has certainly not seen the post- summit signals that they certainly wanted to see from the markets. that is an understatement. >> investors want so desperately to believe in the solution, but there is still way too much doubt out there. shares in europe and the united states tumbled amidst growing investor doubt that not enough has been done to bring the debt crisis in europe under control. the sharp retreat follows a strong rally from the end of ast week and an initialnd of reaction to the inter- governmental treaty agr

i don't want britain to join the euro. i think britain is better off outside the euro.those countries that have chosen to join digital have got to make that system work. in order to do that they don't just need stronger fiscal rules, which i think is clear. they need of greater competitiveness. it is for them to decide how to go ahead and do those things. what we should do is maintain britain's position outside the euro and make sure we safeguard our interests at the same time. that's exactly what i've been doing in brussels. >> thank you, mr. speaker. 10,000 service personnel will have heard of the real terms cut in pay while serving on the front line in afghanistan. what does the prime mr. think that disgraceful cut is going to do for morale for those are risking their lives for us? >> what we have done is double the operational allows the people in afghanistan receive, and they are frankly extremely brave people, and we should be

for britain. i guarantee that as long as i am here, there is no prospect of joining the euro. >> mr. speaker, 66, the prime minister said, the idea that some treaty change in the future might give us an opportunity to repatriate power back to britain. what powers will he be are doing to repatriate? -- arguing to repatriate? >> but he explained. -- let me explain. we are all interested to hear the answer. we will have a key aim of helping to resolve the eurozone crisis and we believe that means, european eurozone countries coming together and doing more things together. if they choose to do that through a treaty that we are involved in, we will insist on some safeguards for britain. and that means making sure that we are stronger and better able to do things in the u.k. to protect our own national interests. >> the more he talks, the more confusing it is. let me remind him. on the eve of the biggest postwar rebellion against the prime minister, he was telling his banks that the opportunity of a tre

i don't think britain will need to exit the e.u. i think britain that has five centuries of imperial experience will just stay put and watch the show one fall the thing that a lot of what we're going to be seeing quite soon certainly in the next euro crisis is that some of the other countries will exit the euro and thereby even start exit exiting the you probably because they can't do otherwise greece maybe ireland maybe spain maybe italy maybe portugal a v i have always said the european union and the euro have an expiry date we still don't quite know what that expire we will be but it sure seems to be coming very closely and i think britain will very shrewdly stand aside and watch the show on fold you talk about other countries possibly exiting the e.u. later on obviously we're seeing many governments of course agreeing with why. happening with this latest pact and showing some form of unity but you just mentioned very interesting earlier about those countries obviously could lose their sovereignty of being told what to do with el

on britain's economy too. so the question of the council was not whether there should be greater fiscal discipline in the euro zone, but rather, how that should be achieved. there were two possible outcomes. either a treaty of all 27 countries with proper safeguards for britain, or a separate treaty in which euro zone countries and others would pool their sovereignty on an intergovernmental basis with britain maintaining its position in the single market and in the european union of 27 members. we went seeking a deal at 27, and i responded to the german and french proposal for treaty change in good faith, genuinely looking to reach an agreement -- [inaudible conversations] at the level of the whole of the european union with the necessary safeguards for britain. those safeguards on the single market and on financial services were modest, reasonable and relevant. we were not trying to create an unfair advantage for britain. london is the leading center for financial services in the world, and this sector employ

tense relations between britain and iran. now for some other news from around the world -- there has been violence in syria, footage has emerged showing civilians coming under fire. activists say six people died in the violence. the syrian government says it has freed more than 900 prisoners involved in the recent anti-government protest. supporters of the former ivory coast president have expressed outrage at his transfer to the international criminal court. he is going to face charges of crimes against humanity. the icc says there is evidence that this violence that followed his defeat last year was deliberately organized by his supporters. the biggest walkout in a generation -- that's what labor unions are claiming in britain today. millions of public sector workers joined a nationwide strike to protest against the government's big spending cuts. it is they see now we have watched play out across industrialized world this year as workers feel the pain of austerity measures. >> it is the biggest strike for a generation. hug

what are the implications for britain? stephanie flanders has been taking a closer look at the deal. >> two big questions. is this the right plan for the eurozone? is it the right deal for the uk? let's start with home. david cameron wanted a good plan for the city, not an open-ended vito, officials say, but a level playing field so banks are not penalized for being outside the euro, and a national power to regulate banks more aggressively than everyone else if you want to. he wanted a chance to veto any transfer of power to brussels. he did not get these things. he said no. was it worth it? the industry accounts for a tiny fraction of our economy. >> it is a very big tax payout. very big employer. the decision last night really protects it. that business transferred to europe or maybe prevented from doing business with tax regulation. >> clearly a manufacturing country further north in england -- we do not want to be marginalized from that single market. we will have to work even harder in 2012 to make sure we are not. >>

britain will be excluded. daybreak after a marathon night. the leaders returned to the summit, and angela merkel said this about david cameron perry >> david cameron was at the negotiating table with us and we made this decision. what we cannot do was make a lousy compromise. >> other leaders noted that britain had been alone demanding concessions. >> they are divided and they are outside of the decision making. >> the mood seemed to extend to a ceremony welcoming croatia as the latest european union member. >> last but not least, the net it can numb, mr. david cameron. -- the united kingdom, mr. david cameron. the european leaders headed home with a new pact to instill discipline over their spending. what has not been addressed is debt and slow growth, the fundamental problems of the eurozone. >>> as we have seen so many times before, all of these events in brussels are having financial implications all over the world. i am joined by john cassidy from new yorker magazine. let's start with the idea this treaty has not come up with a solution

agreement was, quote, bad for britain and britain is in danger of being isolated and marginalized inope. what's your response? is britain in danger of being isolated and losing power because of this decision? >> no. i think that was a difference of view about that, but my view and the prime minister's view very much is that that is not the danger here. there are huge concerns about the european economy, of course. here in america and in britain there are huge concerns. but this is not a question of being isolated. on the whole range of global issues and the european union, the united kingdom remains in a central and driving role. all the issues i've been discussing with secretary clinton this afternoon but we won't sign up to everything. we won't sign up to everything that wasn't in our own interest. it wasn't in our interest to join the euro. it wasn't in our interest to sign up on the treaties on the table last thursday night. >> brown: prime minister cameron spoke of concerns for british national sovereignty specifically a threat to the financial services indtry. isn't that precis

in six years, then, britain has gone from offering friendship to iran, that was angrily rejected, totting down all direct links altogether. and the basic reason is the political in fighting in tehran itself. [speaking in foreign language] >> today the speaker of iran's parliament, larijani, who seems to harbor political ambitions, said the british action was hathesy and criticized british interference in iran over the years. it may be hard for us to understand nowadays but many people in iran still believe britain is immensely powerful. perhaps it's not surprising, a century ago much of southern iran was directly under british control and britain blocked iran's first democratic constitution. by 1991, shar parlavie was overthrown and his son installed instead. in 1953 the british and americans staged a coup against the nationalist prime minister, mohammed mosaday. when the revolution of 1979 came, the shah himself believed the british were behind it. to us this may seem like ancient history but yesterday's attack showed how it can still stir people up in iran itself when one faction i

britain ordered iranian diplomats to leave the country after yet the attack on the u.k. embassy in tirana. >> quite hopeful, the words of hillary clinton as she starts out talks in burma. >> stock market's surge as the central banks plan to tackle europe's crisis. and the switch from east to west. it is 4:00 a.m. here. about it is midday here in singapore. -- >> it is midday here in singapore. >>> britain has ordered the immediate closure of the iranian embassy in london and given iran's diplomatic staff 48 hours to leave. the decision follows tuesday's attack on the british embassy in tehran when hundreds of protesters rampaged through the compound and trashed the offices. some countries have recalled their ambassadors for consultations. john simpson has more. >> serious though yesterday's attack was, there have been plenty worse over the years. but cutting off all diplomatic relations is extraordinarily rare in peacetime. perhaps it was to teach a lesson to a country that does not play by the rules, a country which seems close to having nuclear bombs. >> the iranian at

it was the right thing for britain. a tough decision, but the right one. >> the wanted to protect the city of london from future e you taxes. germany would not give away. they insisted the biggest issue was saving the euro. president nicolas sarkozy said it would stand to broaden itself. >> this is a choice that we may. you cannot on the one hand ask to not be in the euro and at the same time which to be part of all the decisions that affect a currency that you do not want and that you often criticized. that is not possible. >> there will undoubtedly be a major hurdles ahead for working out an intergovernmental treaty on the deficit and debt regime. the german economy will play a key role. >> we will create a new postal union that is also a stability union for the eurozone nations. also those that would like to take part. we will introduce a limit on debt, to offer automatic sanctions, and a stronger role for the commission at the european court. >> back in britain, david cameron one enthusiastic support from the mayor

what exactly is he afraid of if britain signs on? >> david cameron has a very strong and distinct euro-skeptic political party back at home. and so they are veriant-european. the populous of the u.k. is euro-skeptic as well. he faced a challenge attempting to sell request treaty to that party back home. what he'll get is a short-term political boost from this and he'll be able to say he protected the financial services industry, which is incredibly important both to the economy of london and the economy of the u.k. as a whole. but i think what he will fundamentally come away with is very little in real terms at the cost of really distancing the u.k. from the rest of the europe with some quite dangerous dangerous long-term consequences. >> brown: what would those be? what are the potential repercussions people are talking about now for britain and the e.u.? >> well, i think it's now much more difficult to answer the question, "will britain still be in the european union in five to 10 times?" and that necessarily will have an effect on

so britain now the only country that's given a decisive know how are the other e.u. leaders playing to work next. well that's right it will give the decisions that came out well we're going to see is a two speed europe essentially those who are on board the a franco german push for more fiscal integration stricter rules and harsher punishments more supervision and those who aren't now as it stands there are twenty three yeses maybe including sweden hungary and the czech republic you have to check with a problem once and get back with an answer and a note coming from the u.k. you know that no it's not very surprising because david cameron before getting into the summit had already said that if he doesn't get the guarantees that he needs to protect british interests the sticking point being the financial transactions tax and labor laws then he's going to use his veto to avoid that sweeping e.u. treaty that's exactly what happens in the u.k. is going it alone now from german chancellor angela merkel's point of view it is a breakthrough a success looking at what germany

we must be safeguards for britain, this is the right thing to do. we have no prospect of joining the the euro, which she is different about. >> six weeks ago, the prime minister said that a limited treaty change may give up the opportunity to give power back to britain. what powers will be arguing about? >> as i have just explained at the summit -- we are all interested in this. we all have the name of resolving this crisis, and we believe that this means that european countries coming together and doing more things together if they choose to do that, with what we are involved in, we would insist on safeguards for great britain, and this means making certain that we are stronger and better able to do things in the united kingdom to protect our own national interest. the more that the countries are asking for, the more that we will ask for in return. just that on the basis of what matters more in great britain. >> the more he talks, the more confusing that his position becomes. >> let me remind him, before one of the biggest post-war rebellions on yo

i will be right back with more on britain and the eu. >> welcome back. the eurozone crisis has shaken the architecture of the european union to its very core, raising the very real possibility that some nations may leave the currency and the longtime member britain might even lead the eu entirely. deeper fiscal integration brought britain's commitment to the eu to the fore when london last week rejected treaty changes designed to centralize economic policy. that move was branded as destructive by top-ranking eu leaders with the commission presidency in british policy threatened to break up the eurozone. but the decision by prime minister david cameron has proven extremely popular with a majority of british voters long skeptical of those doings across the channel. >> it is early morning in london, but the city is already coming to life. thousands of people are headed to the same spot, the financial district. the square mile, as it is known, generates a significant contribution to the country's gross domestic products. james center works right in the middl

and europe is split britain becomes the only one out rejecting e.u. treaty changes and forcing all the other twenty six members to come up with a separate debt crisis. and last resort israeli airstrikes on gaza and ever increasing tensions in the region drive palestinians to seek opportunities in war torn libya. news live from moscow city center this is with me. but i thousands of people gathered in central moscow protesting the results of sunday's parliamentary vote it's estimated at least fifteen thousand people are taking part right now as we speak and the opposition claims the results of the election were fraudulent to a correspondent in central moscow and he said no way to give us the latest and he said good to see you you are at the side of the demonstrations we can see the crowds are amassing behind you that tell us what is the scene what can you tell us what's going. well numbers are conflicting we're hearing some very bad numbers certainly thousands of people here they go from fifteen to twenty five thousand i just want to give you a closer v

in fact, fewer than 15% actually plan to britain and it wasn't even back to britain because most of themeen there before. they were americans in britain it was a as much a foreign country to them as it would be to us now, if not even more so since communications technologies have progressed a pace and so they found themselves really strangers in an alien land. in fact, the majority of loyalists went other places. more than half went to canada to the provinces that are now nova scotia, new brunswick and to a lesser extent ontario and quÉbec. another 10,000 or so headed south. they went to the bahamas. they went to jamaica and they took with them those exported slaves, 15,000 slaves with them as well. but loyalists ranged around this expanding empire. some poor example would be on the first fleet to australia settling present-day sydney, australia. in fact a loyalist is the first person to propose colonizing australia. there were loyalist it went to india. in fact benedict arnold had two sons who joined up in the company army and ended up spending the rest of their lives in india. and of t

is seeking britain's help and advice on implementing reforms. david cameron has urged him to move swiftly. he says it saves time for real change. >> what we are looking for is to move from dictatorship to democracy, to move from a prime minister empowered for 40 years to a prime minister to be elected. that is what we are looking for and what we are willing -- meeting with the prime minister of england, to discuss that issue with the king. >> in bahrain, the protests and clashes with police in villages continue. many protestors want an end to the sunni monarchy do not. one says he can live with the constitutional monarchy, and he is really to dialogue with the king. >> the king, seen here receiving a damning report on human rights abuses told the bbc he plans to invite in all the political parties, including those from the opposition, but most remain skeptical. bahrain's government was hoping they would draw a line after the uprising. this gulf state is now deeply divided between the sheer opposition and those who support their government. franc

great britain is not only important for foreign affairs and the security of europe, great britain is also a partner in many other fields. in the single market. for trade and the protection of the environment. great britain has a huge interest for the euro to overcome its debt crisis. the debt crisis will not be cured by a magic bullet. this magic bullet does not exist. there is no simple solution. overcoming this debt crisis is very hard. it is a process. it will not last for months. it will last for years. we will meet obstacles and we will backtrack. what is important to stop the length of the process. what is important is whether we will be discouraged by backtracking and obstacles or whether we will go for it. i am convinced that if we have the necessary patience, if we are not discouraged by obstacles, if we pursue our path to this monetary and fiscal union, then we will complete this fiscal and monetary union. we will have to overcome our obstacles. then we will have reached the objective that was our objective from the beginning of the crisis. should not only will europe survi

i grew up as an awful lot of people in the united states and britain grew up. my father endured the war, found it exciting, loved adventures, and he had a lot of adventures. when i was a kid in the 1950s, i used to read books about the second second world war, and i grew up thinking it was glorious rub, and my father brought me up to believe i really ought to be sorry, you should be able to be a par shooter and ride the crystal rum, but unfortunately, the germans are not available temporarily anyway, so when i grew up with this ridiculous boy's own vision of the war, and it's only gradually that once grown up and over the enduing 40-50 years, one learned to understand the reality, and i'll tell you one moment when it really got to me. that was when i was writing one of my first books about the second world war, about the command, in the late 70 #s, when there was a lot of old air crews still around, and one evening, i was zitting in a little -- sitting in a little suburban home, talking with his navigator, who then, was only in his 50s, who being in the crew of

>> i grew up as an awful lot of people in the united states and britain grew up. my father adored the war. he found is terrifically exciting. he loved adventures and had a lot of adventures. when i was a kid in the 1950s, i used to read memoirs and books about the second world war at the rate of two a week and i thought the whole thing was a glorious romp. and my father brought me up to believe that -- he said you'll be able to become an army parachutist and all those other things that are interesting. said unfortunately the germans aren't available to pay their three-quarters of an hour on the other side. so i grew up with this ridiculous boy's vision of the war, and only gradually one grows up and over the ensuing 40-50 years, one understands the reality. and one moment when it really got to me, and that was when i was writing one of my first book about the second world war, bomber command in the late '70s, when there were a lot of old air crews still around. one evening i was sitting in a little suburban home talking to another man -- then he was only in his 50
