well david cameron has said clearly that he wants to know that he can keep the country safe and that means being able to chuck out as he said anybody that doesn't have the right to be in the u.k. and who threatens the u.k. way of life now we don't have to look very far for examples of where the european convention for human rights has been a real form in the side of the british government there's the very famous case of the radical hate preacher abu qatada now he famously avoided extradition from the u.k. for over a decade because his lawyers argued that it was against his human rights to return to his native shores and he could face torture there so the british government quite literally had its hands tied because of what brussels was dictating to them and david cameron he's under pressure to change that status quo because the british public is growing increasingly weary of what is seen as brussels dictating the way that the u.k. justice system should work and it's not just abu khattala that there's all the criminals who are trying to use the european convention for human rights to

[applause] when you hear david cameron -- when you hear david cameron talking about what is happeninge nhs, remember it is not complicated. it is as simple as abc. it is anyone but cameron. we know was responsible. -- who is responsible. the top-down organization that nobody voted for and nobody wanted. the fragmentation of services, we know who is responsible. window was responsible for fewer nurses -- we know who is responsible for fewer nurses. it is this prime minister who is responsible. it is the same old story. we rescued the nhs and they wrecked the nhs. we have to rescue it all over again. that is what the next labour government will do. [applause] [applause] [applause] ok. right. now, i've explained to you how we can make britain better at changing our economy. i want to talk about how we can change the politics. here's the bit you are looking for two, party reform. -- here is the data that you are looking forward to. change is difficult. change is uncomfortable. i know people are uncomfortable about some of the changes. the mix like you white is so important. all of the for

david cameron will say, you are irresponsible. ed will say to david cameron, you can't be trusted to help everyone. you only care about the rich. for once, i will agree with them both. [applause] because, because of course they are both right. left to their own devices, they will look at it wrong. we have learned a lot since getting into government. one of the main things i have learned is this. if we are asking people to put us back into the room next time around, if we want them to know why it is better to have us around the table when the big decisions are made -- they need to be able to make a judgment about what we will do there. that is as much about values, character, background as anything else. they need to know who we are. who i am. why i am a liberal democrat, why i am standing here today. let me start with this. i was part of a generation raised in the 70's and 80's on a constant diet of aggressive us and them politics. i have so many memories of my brothers and sisters and i watching television and asking our parents

government quite literally had its hands tied that because of what brussels was dictating to them and david cameron he's under pressure to change that status quo because the british public is growing increasingly weary of what is seen as brussels dictating the way that the u.k. justice system should work and it's not just abu qatada there's all the criminals who have tried to use the european convention for human rights to basically get

david cameron went to parliament, he made his best case for war.the debate went on for eight hours, in the end parliament did not buy it, and they voted against. more than two dozen members of david cameron's own conservative party showed up and voted no. members of his party didn't bother to show up. they defied the three-line whip. so many of them that they can't be kicked out of the party. david cameron lost, and the news was so shocking that gasps were heard around the chamber when the vote was tallied. and having lost a three-line whip, that is a rare enough and stunning enough defeat for the prime minister, that the opposition party called out in parliament in response to the vote, that the prime minister should resign. he does not seem to be resigning. prime minister david cameron's original plan had been to go back to parliament for a second vote after the u.n. weapons inspectors had released their report now there are no plans for him to go back to parliament. >> it is very clear tonight that while the house has not passed a motion. it is

it was known as a fringe party marginal and its members even dismissed by prime minister david cameron as fruitcakes a loonies and a closet racist but today members of the u.k. independence party or you could for gathered inside to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the party and its enjoying its strongest public support to date now it's known very much for its core skepticism wanting to leave the e.u. as well as a strong stance on immigration and it has averaged about twenty six percent in local elections earlier this year march of this war was being felt by david cameron's conservative party and conservative party chiefs have admitted that about half of their members have with us since david cameron became the leader in two thousand and five leader nigel farage had said that the success of the party is because of the total disconnect between those in power and ordinary people and you can't as they're filling that gap however criticism still come their way a lot of it focusing on the fact that people are voting for this party because it was simply a protest vote and not necessaril

are following a string of cash for questions scandals but its prime minister david cameron is attempting to regulate the activities of special interest groups over the proposals are coming under fire not only from the loneliest spots on the opponents as well where a smith takes up the story there. being in the u.k. and people think. it began in one nine hundred ninety four with cash for questions a newspaper claimed a parliament had brought two conservative m.p.'s into asking questions in parliament then last year that was cast for cameron when a conservative party treasurer was filmed apparently offering dinner with david cameron and the chance to influence government policy snit just two hundred fifty thousand pounds and most recently three lords and an m.p. accused of apparently offering to do polling meant to work in exchange for cash in the sunday times sting so david cameron's had enough in a bid to prevent yet a novice will his party's introduced a bill to regulate lobbying but the proposals are third week that anti-doping campaign is and themselves are united in their opposition

you met with david cameron very late ok and b.b.n. minutes worth of russia in london you met with the british prime minister very late last night how would you characterize your relationship with david cameron and are there any problems all obstacles all it's yeah well as you say. well our understanding of the situation in syria is different but this is known to all. but we all sort of the word. russia u.k. relationship is. our trade relations improving our national reading some cream you see. our relationship with the u.k. . in a sense special politically because both the u.k. and russia are as a permanent member so the u.n. security council. and we regularly coppery. crucial international platform and we work a lot together to improve. our relation the same way we are grateful to you our british partners for helping us improve our relationship with the. thank you. but. i don't see any serious issues. our relations with the u.k. and we are grateful to our partners for their interest in developing russia yukito us thank you them with

david cameron wanted to use force. after the parliamentary vote he said, we're not doing that anymore. the larger point is the president goes and asks for such a limited air strike in effect and is turned down, it is going to cripple him as commander in chief. let's say he's facing iran and says, if you have nuclear weapons, i will come after you. strir asterisk, big asterisk, if congress amoves and they may well not. i don't think the congress will put him in that position. they will swallow hard some of them and a lot of them will hold their noses. at the end of the day i believe the president will squeak through this. i've seen this in the past. it's a very difficult vote for some lawmakers but that's what they're elected to do. >> you've advised so many presidents from nixon to clinton. say, you were advising president obama and perhaps he had confided in you, as he did with his chief of staff, i've had a change of heart here, i'm thinking i'd like to turn to congress, would you advise him to think otherwise gore a

. >>> the british prime minister david cameron faced a defeat in parliament just a few days ago. that happened when the majority voted against military strikes in syria. it shows cam ran doesn't have strong support among the public either. 60% of those questioned said they were against british troops given the level of evidence given the proof of chemical weapons by ashad's regime. only 21% said they thought david cameron acted because he generally believed in that using chemical weapons syria crossed the red line and acted badly. well in all 71% of voters said they felt that resent military action to libya, afghanistan and iraq made it less likely to gather any other military interventions abroad. joins us live from london for more on this. lawrence, there's shock images coming ot of syria following those alleged chemical weapons attack. what's the story in the u.k. that they don't want anything done about this. >> reporter: one thing is that's strikeing the about this is it's a cross party. there are new polls more in a more liberal one. both had the same raoults. a good 60%, 6

cast for cameron when a conservative party treasurer was filmed apparently offering dinner with david cameron and the chance to influence government policy snit just two hundred fifty thousand pounds and most recently three lords and an m.p. or accused of apparently offering to do polling meant to work in exchange for cash in the sunday times sting so david cameron's had enough in a bid to prevent yet a novice will his party's introduced a bill to regulate lobbying but the proposals are third week that anti-doping campaigners and lobbyists themselves are united in their opposition what the ridge that provides transparency it doesn't stop politicians behaving badly we have nothing to fear from the. influx we've been calling for it and that's why we're so disappointed with the government because the definition of lobbyist has produced a number that's going to cover less than is already on the existing public. being registered on the register as proposed would exclude around eighty percent of lobbying and lobbying activity and that's really the heart of it the second part of the bill puts charit

the entire government of david cameron has been rather hawk issue on some sort of military action in syria but they did lose the vote in the house of commons and david cameron has said he heard the message from the house of commons from the british people and it's unlikely that the government will go back to the house of commons for a second vote. they have pretty much accepted the fact that britain will not take part in a military strike. now, when secretary of state kerry is here meeting with william hague and other members of the british government, it's expected there may be other things that the brits will offer up, perhaps intelligence gathering, perhaps other things that could be done to support a military intervention. but not actually any it kind of military assets. >> thank you, phil ittner from rondon. >>> congress has been off for five years and the recess ends tomorrow to many who are returning to deal with the syrian crisis. democrats and republicans, an increasing number say they don't support the president's call for military action. paul beban is live from washington

for tough action against syria germany adding itself to the list today british prime minister david cameron gave his moral support while ruling out you came volved meant in any military action due to parliament recent no vote china india and others sided with russia though saying washington should not attack without u.n. security council approval so world leaders in favor of intervention represent nations which make up three billion people and that leaves politicians speaking on behalf of just under a billion on the other side of the fence meanwhile people around the world have been taking to the streets to protest against an assault on syria you're watching here now some of the latest protests in the philippines and russia as well as only one in london paris as well as washington and new york and celebrities back in the u.s. have been speaking out against obama's plans to one hundred note from a donor expressing her opposition to a military strike france has been the main power standing by the u.s. but president along now says he wants to wait for a u.n. report on possible chemical weapons

twenty six percent in local elections earlier this year though much of this war was being felt by david cameron's conservative party and its every party chiefs have admitted that about half of their members have quit the since they were cameron became the leader in two thousand and five you could leader nigel farage had said that the success of the party is because of the total disconnect between those in power and ordinary people and you can because they're filling up that gap however criticism still come their way a lot of it focusing on the fact that people are voting for this party because it was simply a protest vote and not necessarily agreeing with their policies we spoke to some of the members and this is what they had to say if we're for a test case because there's a hell of a lot to protest about how the old established parties not listening to old married people want and you know politics is a marketplace we believe in certain things we sell our ideas and people are buying those ideas so that i think the reason that we do it so well is because we represent what a lot of ordinary people

david cameron very disappointed with the parliament vote that said they would not be supporting a u.s. strike and imagine that meeting will be very important if the british can offer anything, some sort of assistance. you also have france which says it will go ahead and you have other allies as well who are not really this go-round, merkel from germany, supporting the president's initiative here. >> that's exactly right. have you countries like turkey and saudi arabia and united arab emirates and some saying they're willing to support military action in terms of whether it is bases or over flight rights and the administration has a really tough case ahead of them. european countries very divided on what to do and a lot of the countries want the u.s. to seek a u.n. mandate and see that report by the inspectors before they approve any action and the administration says we don't need the u.n. to tell us what we already know. when he is meeting with the leaders on the sidelines and when secretary kerry travels this weekend to meet with the foreign ministers in europe and arab league, he h

i think like david cameron, he voted himself and exit from the crisis. if the congress says no, then i am not going to act. given that the world opinion is a huge majority against, as it seems in the u.k. or even in france, it will not damage so much the image. i think the risk here is a major contradiction. the legal international law to intervene because of the use of weapons of mass destruction. and then it does not want to have a vote in the u.n. >> in the u.n.? >> in the u.n., it does not ask for a vote to support intervention. >> because of the security council. >> it would be better to say we are going to intervene, but let's ask the u.n. there is a major contradiction to say everything is going to be decided by the u.s. government. >> they have been very explicit that they have given up on the security council even the repeated russian opposition. a do not see it as a viable mechanism for better or for worse. they do not see it as an action for which any political solution is going to be found. >> but it is contradictory. >> the question comes do
