angela merkel has a very good relationship with david cameron.hat was proven last year when she invited david cameron with his wife and children to the official summer residence of the german government. that was a gesture from merkel personally to say i want a good relationship with the british government. ther that, you had arguments about the future european head of commission, jean-claude juncker. , butnly in germany especially in germany, it was seen as a provocation. it has made it much more difficult for david cameron to renegotiate and get a better deal for the united kingdom and europe. europe. >> is britain as isolated as it appears? arely other countries skeptical about the eu project. >> there are a lot of european countries that are skeptical of the european union. the germans are also highly critical. the question is, how do you do it? do you do it in a friendly way and try to find consensus or do you do it, especially from germany and such, in a very controversial and provocative way? this is what the british prime minister has don

opposition,d strong including from david cameron. i spoke earlier -- >> let's remember that dramatic eu summit. i was in brussels covering it. you had david cameron trying to block the nomination of junkcer. a vast majority of heads of state decided to nominate the former prime minister of luxembourg, former chair jean-claude juncker,. we are seeing the second chapter of this long story. the members of the european parliament will either confirm jean-claude juncker at the next president of the european commission or reject him. look at the figures. jean-claude juncker needs the backings of half the number of seats plus one, a simple majority. in theory, jean-claude juncker can rely on the support of the largest groups in the european socialist, and the and democrats. there are some rebels within these groups. that includes the british labor. they do not seem to like jean-claude juncker. he will rely on the support of other groups. the liberals, the fourth largest group in the parliament. i think he should get a majority. i think he w

david cameron stood up and talked about the need to halt trade in the defense industry. that remark has been pointed directly or at least seen as a reflection of france's refusal to stop two warship sales to russia. those are going forward. the uk is very dependent on russia trade in the financial sector. germany in the energy sector. there's no secret that angela merkel, the chancellor of germany, is among the foremost european leaders in being reluctant to move forward on the sanctions that president obama has been talking about for months at a time. a pivotal moment here. there's no question that the administration wants to seize on this to compel vladimir putin and russia to back off and stop funding and assisting and aiding and trading and providing material benefit to the separatists, del. >> mike viqueira live at the white house. we're waiting for the president as he comes out. >>> we want to turn now to the events in the middle east. at least five are now dead after an israeli tank hit a hospital in gaza. the al asqa hospital is the third hospital to be hit in th

months but the reading of this emergency bill is taking place against the backdrop of david cameron's cabinet reshuffle the biggest one since two thousand and ten so rather than there being a big public debate about the balance of civil liberties and security we've got a lot of headlines today about ministers and a new position. london for no thank you. to see ukraine next and this is the turn of. donetsk residents say they were bombed by the ukrainian air force early on tuesday morning. a block of flats collapsed as a result of that attack at least eleven people were killed including an elderly couple but it's fear more people are buried under that rubble the neighboring lugansk region two has been shelled by the ukrainian army for several days now in the most recent of their residential area was targeted one shell landed on the roof of a nine story building well several of those it is true killing and going so to friends . have been killed in the last three days. the situation here on the ground days very dramatic and tensions continue to escalate challis almost never stops we hear

s told hague of the promise to cool it down hague should have told david cameron in fact to retreat on the syrian issue before the vote is how the media saw it after the debate some such as the guardian newspaper even claim that hague should have resigned after failing to judge the political mood the public mood british world affairs journalist needle club told treasurer about hague's legacy and what the new foreign secretary could mean for the country next. there's no doubt that william hague here it is for a secretary and pretty disastrous for britain he was a strong supporter of the iraq war two thousand and three when he was in opposition and in two thousand and eleven he took her into war against libya now on top of that he's done all he can in the last three years to try and get military intervention against syria and so i think that william hague's times foreign secretary has been disastrous for britain i think he should have resigned last summer when he failed to get parliament to support war against syria that's the time he should have gone but the sad thing is of course is th

all as he mentioned among the leaders who would do something he mentioned prime minister cameron david cameron in the u.k. cameron himself who is a great friend of israel a great supporter of israel he himself has described gaza as a prison camp and then you have to ask yourself what rights do people under occupation have to resist occupation and here the international law is very clear the international law says number one and i hope dan will respond specifically to the point i'm making now international law says number one occupier has no right under international law to suppress the struggle for self-determination that is to say that israel has no right whatsoever if the palestinians are resisting the occupation israel has no right whatsoever whatsoever on the international law to use force in order to suppress the palestinian struggle for self-determination the international law is a little bit more ambiguous on the rights of people on the occupation to use force but most scholars agree that they do have that right so as a broad general statement the palestinians are exercising their right

angela merkel has a very good relationship with david cameron. that was proven last year when she invited david cameron with his wife and children to the official summer residence of the german government. that was a gesture from merkel personally to say i want a good relationship with the british government. after that, you had the arguments about the future european head of commission, jean-claude juncker. not only in germany, but especially in germany, it was seen as a provocation. it has made it much more difficult for david cameron to renegotiate and get a better deal for the united kingdom in europe. >> is britain as isolated as it appears? surely other countries are skeptical about the eu project. >> there are a lot of european countries that are skeptical of the european union. the germans are also highly critical. the question is, how do you do it? do you do it in a friendly way and try to find consensus or do you do it, especially from germany and such, in a very controversial and provocative way? this is what the british prime minister

economy by restricting the flow of russian cash into the city of london the british prime minister david cameron said he's in agreement with french president francois hollande and german chancellor angela merkel that further sanctions must be discussed the german chancellor though held a phone conversation over the weekend with president vladimir putin and which both parties said that an international investigation is a must and it must get to underway very soon from the hague peter all of r.t. so let's get more analysis from veteran british labor politician and former mayor of london ken livingstone who joins us now live good to see you can let's start with these threatened sanctions germany france the u.k. all apparently dishing out they sold him a term to russia because they want russia to make sure that the international investigators are given full access to the crash site what do you think about those threats. well i think there's an awful lot of pandering to the hysteria that's being whipped up here some of us are old enough to remember that back in two thousand and one ukrainian military

while public attention has distracted them but david cameron is hiring them firings the pm still playing a way of stepping up state surveillance are resurrected law and data recordings about to go before parliament despite calls from human rights campaigners about it the bill comes following the european court of justice is decision to recognise data gathered by intelligence services as impinging on human rights following that ruling mobile phone companies got ready to delete the data they collected something the u.k. government didn't want to happen to a close look at this new legislation what it proposes critics fear the new law would expand surveillance powers generally the time the place the number of dogs or all the kept by mobile operators plus maybe the conversation itself too could be recorded internet service providers would monitor and record the pages the clients visited and this information could be stored as well for up to twelve months one year that's as britain's prime minister pledges an extra eight hundred million pounds for monitoring operations opposition labor m.p. je

a tragic error by people that should have known better ok the certainly some mood coming from david cameron though just quoting from an article in the sunday times where he says if it is proved that resistance fighters in east ukraine downed the m eight seventeen flight then it is a direct result of russia de stabilizing a sovereign state what do you make of that his claims that well. and we. didn t. stabilize ukraine ukraine is that of succession of pretty awful governments it is a divided nation and i was put to care of the get the hardly after the collapse of the old soviet union i what president putin wants is secure stable states on the border of russia which are not a threat to it and it just seems to me the simplest way for the ukrainian government to. remove all this tension is to say we have no intention of joining nato and bringing american missiles onto ukrainian soil because this is not forget when the old soviet union put miss hours in cuba i.e. the world came to the point of extinction america wasn't prepared to tolerate that military presence just ninety miles from its border

according to prime minister david cameron. he says they may have to take this moment and completely reassess its relationship with russia. there will be a meeting in brussels tomorrow of the eu foreign ministers, they will be discussing the possibility of harsher sanctions, something britain will clearly champion. >> interesting to see where it's going. any decision from that body on how to approach the situation? >> particularly fascinating session at the u.n. as well in which there was outspoken condemnation of the incident. the resolution calls for that condemnation also l calls for finding whoever was responsible for this and holding them accountable and it calls for immediate access to crash site, so that investigators can begin their work. many representatives at the u.n. saying we shouldn't even have to be asking for this. this shouldn't be part of our resolution. more divisions within the u.n. but at the end of the day, even russia voted to support that resolution. >> interesting. phil ittner, in london, thank you. >>>

it was a tennis match with david cameron and the mayor of london. host: does the u.k. have less at stake? there was a graphic about how much natural gas and energy the u.k. gets from russia. if you look at the graphic, countries like germany get 40%. 18% for france. 20% for italy. how much of those considerations is going into the making of foreign-policy? guest: it is part of the foreign-policy. it won't cause much trouble going into the next winter. germany has a lot in storage. italy is very worried about those sanctions. especially because of the energy supplies. the europeans have agreed on tougher sanctions. this includes sanctions on electronic equipment for oil production in russia. they are targeting high-tech equipment from russia. this is despite the military equipment. it is important to hit the oligarchs. the financial sector in russia is important to put pressure on vladimir putin. there will it be any pressure unless you hit them. , when you look at russia there is lot of pressure on food and -- putin from the right wing. they think that he is not harsh

british prime minister david cameron and others expressing their outrage. what's the reaction in russia? what are we hearing from the kremlin in all of this, diana? >> reporter: the kremlin and russian president will have a meeting of security cabinet in a few hours' time. we are expected to hear a few statements from him. the russian line really you'll see in the media today is separatists have handed over the black boxes to authorities, malaysian investigators which surely should, in russia's eyes, have some impact on mitigating factors. the rush sham ambassador to malaysia spoke earlier today and said russia is cooperating with this international inspection. let's take a listen. >> investigation allowed by -- the reason for that is that the rebels, as we understand, do not trust the government of kiev. that's why they were reluctant to hand over anything -- the black boxes to the ukrainian side because they are afraid that the evidence will be tampered with. >> the rebels don't trust kiev, nor does anyone really in russia who listens to the kremlin propa

. >> you're thinking here i am following up for an interview regarding david cameron. my reasons for wanting to say no are very different from his. i am interested in the well being of the working people. and i believe that working people on both sides of the border will be better, certainly reduced if this comes into being. it will be a waste of the bottom. this is a business channel. you know about these things, a waste of the bottom, cutting, costs, expenditure and regulation and that's not in the interest. do you see any -- do you have any compassion for the view that he's putting forward? do you think there is an argument that we will see a nation that is worse off despite -- >> i don't think in terms of nations. nations don't really mean very much to me. i'm interested in the working people and their well being. and the working people in england and scotland will be reduced if we divide. this is a small island of english-speaking people that's been together as one state for 300 years. it's done some terrible things as a state, but some very, very great things, in

he was very loyal to david cameron, but he was a bit of a loner. that is the significant thing, that this cabinets reflects a significant move to the right. >> the general election is going to be held in may of next year. does this cameron a 2015 winning team? after all, he has other things on his side, looking at it from this side of the channel. the economy appears to be improving, and some people are saying his rival doesn't look perhaps as electricityable even as his brother david. >> well, that is certainly true. of the band, leader labor party is going through a bad period at the moment. that may not be the thing that swings it. the labor party is more popular. the question is whether ed can turn it around. he certainly doesn't have the charm and the international connections that david had like with hillary clinton and so on. the economy is recovering, and therefore the conservative party are kind of feeling much more positive. but whether this swing to the right is the answer is very debatable. this cabinet, thatcher's children, but this go

think it's me he's much more of a hard core the william hague was and i think that's probably why david cameron has decided to promote him. while public attention has been distracted by cameron's hirings and firings the pm still ploughing away at stepping up state surveillance resurrected law and data recording is to go before parliament despite calls from human rights campaigners the bill comes following the european court of justice decision to recognise data gathering by intelligence services as infringing human rights following the ruling mobile phone companies got ready to delete data they collected something to pay government didn't want to happen to take a closer look at the new legislation critics fear the new law will expand surveillance powers the time place and number dialed would all be kept by mobile operators plus conversations themselves could be recorded internet service providers would monitor and record the pages their clients visited and the information could be stored for up to twelve months as britain's prime minister pledges an eight hundred an extra eight hundred million

>> they are getting a lot of encouragement on that front from david cameron and others. he has been talking about the russian defense sector. we had holdouts in the last couple of weeks. sanctions being tougher than the europeans in particular. italy counts on russia so much. for tougherng down sanctions. a big meeting of foreign ministers, that could be exciting. >> peter cook, stay with us. i want to ask you about another big story we're following today. hillary clinton is visiting headquarters will -- where she will visit executives. she continues to promote her book. will she be able to buddy up with silicon valley? me inohnson is joining the studio. she has been here a couple times in the last few months. i saw her speak in january. >> this is a regular stop for two things. people ontop for bookstores. it is an interesting change where it is almost offered as an employee perk. they're making appearances in these big companies, particularly social media companies it is also for democrats raising money and getting ready to run for office. there is speculation hillary

it will all know its existing contracts to supply russia with two mistral helicopter carriers david cameron has criticized the move he has said that it would be on thinkable to honor such a contract if britain were in france is shoes and we've heard of an irritated response from across the channel the french foreign minister laurent fabius is reported to have said that britain needs to clean up its own backyard before it blasts fronts for continuing with the sale of those helicopter carriers now you get the sense that he's alluding to the numerous russian oligarchs that live in the u.k. that have businesses here football clubs very high profile individuals but ultimately russians that pay a lot of money to the u.k. tax man there's been reportedly one russian businessman who even donated over one hundred and fifty thousand pounds to david cameron's very own conservative party and just today a parliamentary inquiry revealed that britain itself has over two hundred export licenses for military equipment worth over one hundred and thirty two million pounds so you get the sense that paris could

david cameron, british prime minister, has come out saying this is an outrage made in moscow. australian prime minister tony abbott has come out. how can russia, with everything that we have heard, deny that it has its hands somehow at the control panel here? >> i don't think russia can deny what's happened here, but what i'd point out is, though, we've elected information over the past few days that directly points to moscow. it's similar to the information we collected, remember, in syria, that indicated a yearn ao that moscow was supporting assad in the fight against syria. russia got off the hook on that one. i would not underestimate putin as conversations with the germans and others to get off the hook this time. there's a lot of time for him in the coming days to figure out how to, for example, suggest that he's going to facilitate cooperation with the rebels. >> philip, we're just getting something in, the ukrainian, i'm going to read it to you just as we're getting it, the ukrainian -- ukraine rather security service released a two-minute video of what they claim is a

european leader that's been speaking about this david cameron the british prime minister of course nine britons on that flight as well he also said that he'd spoken to the dutch prime minister. expressed his condolences and saying that europe and britain all grieve together with with the people of the netherlands as europe deals with what is a real tragedy not just for europe but for people around the world when we see the nations that all those people came from that have been killed. and some of the accusations against antigovernment fighters are based on a twitter post in which they allegedly boasted of having advanced missile systems capable of bringing down the plane is claimed of the tweet was posted and then deleted from the account of the self-proclaimed people's republic however kiev's prosecutor general denied the weapons had fallen into the hands of militants reimport life takes is through some of the speculation being circulated in the media a shocking tragedy claiming the lives of nearly three hundred victims before any investigation even begins the lack of credible facts ha

we take steps down as prime minister david cameron revamps his cabinet.e a look at the strategy behind the reshuffle with christina major again. ♪ welcome back to countdown. 7:22 in london. i am joined by caroline hyde. ryan chilcote is here with us for the details. of hsbc is also joining us. give me the breakdown of the positions. >> this is a big reshuffle. is coming 10 months before the general election. most observers say this is about the election. all ideas to change the image of the conservative party. too old, too many men who have been around and in power for too long, and old boys club. they are shedding some of those folks. can clark is been in government since 1974. sorry, 1972. he is 74 himself. that is perhaps the most symbolic manifestation of this change. william hague, much younger but nonetheless he has good 20government for a years. he is a foreign secretary. it is much larger than this. --t of them were about their if either announced the retirement themselves or perhaps they were surprised. it happened in the prime minister's office

citizens david cameron the prime minister there held a meeting with senior government officials to decide what the next step would be what they actually knew about what had happened and then the united kingdom went to the united nations and asked for a special set a special session of the security council now that session will take place in new york later on friday but what we are seeing though is as an outpouring of condolence and grief here in europe as all care is just about have said that they're going to try and employed all of ukrainian airspace control who are the european body that monitors air traffic control and to give guidelines and traffic control of rule eastern ukraine though an absolute no go area until we find out anything more about what's happened with this terrible tragedy that touched lives across europe. the instability and conflict in eastern ukraine certainly making it difficult to confirm some of the claims and details that continue to pour in using what we do have however we've pieced together the events in chronological order have a look at there's a twelve fift

may have been as many as or at least nine british citizens on board the prime minister in london david cameron has said that senior figures in his government are meeting to try and to ascertain the facts and this is the one thing that has been coming out continuously from european leaders after they've expressed their regret in their condo and says they've. been going on to saying they just want to get more information about this disaster so that they can pass that on to their citizens david cameron saying that that's what his government were going to be doing the dutch prime minister mr ritter also saying that there was just so much still unclear he said the facts circumstances and passengers just remained somewhat still a mystery in this disaster and in fact a lot of the the dutch news websites that i've been looking at a lot of dutch social media has been calling for a new statement from the dutch pm something to just give them some information that does seem well though this is a global disaster it is a disaster for the for the airline and anybody on board the malaysian people but a real d

it's really he's much more of a hardcore the william hague was and i think that's probably why david cameron has decided to promote it so what kind of new foreign policy or any kind of change in foreign policy do you think we can see with hammond in the chair but i don't i'm going to see a radical change of course go i think to get to the top in british politics you've got to be pretty hawkish would be very pro-u.s. would have a right line on the middle east israel where you quote intervention cetera but i think as i said we don't really see a hard thing of the government policy towards the e.u. in the build up to the election because the conservatives are very worried about ukip and i think they're going to have to put a euro skeptic you know pay the euro skeptic cos in the next year or so the lead up to the election i said i think that's only the main change we're going to see awful syria of course it's pretty clear the public don't want anything to do with intervention in syria they tried that one last year they're going it's still it's up to the rebels and i think that's a day now and i

david cameron referred to that very specifically, saying that should be the first step here, if putin doesn't change his approach, according to cameron, where they should begin to consider sanctions. so that's one of the key things that we're waiting to see. >> you're absolutely right, michelle. and we're talking about those european economies. art, specifically france and germany where industrial production is missed for a few months. investor confidence is starting to erode. i'm looking at the dax, down almost 4% now. you can see why they would be hesitant to jump on that bandwagon. >> it is a very clear vulnerability that's built in there. that's what we've been talking about, if they impose new and far more onerous sanctions, as michelle pointed out correctly, there is a natural backlash in that. and the european economy is not all that strong. so it raises a question. you have to find some way to get putin to do what you want. but do you necessarily wind up punishing your own economies to do it? >> michelle, over the weekend, secretary kerry obviously brought out all that evidenc

david cameron tried and failed to stop the appointment of jean-claude juncker. coming in today. you are a supporter of britain staying in the eu. you speak for the business community to some extent. you say it drives growth and boost international competitiveness. says we could get out of the eu and sign a trade agreement and be done with it. >> of course we could. we would be poor because the eu is worth 3000 pounds sterling for every household in britain every year. >> if we can still trade with europe, don't we still get those benefits? >> look at switzerland. it is outside but landlocked by the eu and needs to trade. it has scores of bilateral treaties it has to negotiate with 28 neighbors. that is not a balance relationship. >> others say that being in the eu is not worth it for the influence, that it is not going to be affected as demonstrated by the saga around the jean-claude juncker. one country does not have much influence. >> i do business, not politics. it is worth 3000 pounds a year to every family in britain. look at how we have led enlargement to

he is saying before he won the war it would be like saying to david cameron -- david cameron saying to us we want to go back to the 1775. i hope you understand yet of course that is what we should do. or we would be right now sitting in southern california. we would be sitting in northern mexico if we went back to the lines preceding the u.s.-mexican war. too bad, but that is how borders, about by winners and losers. generally that is how they come about unless there's some geographical enemy, mountains, rivers, whatever. and they won the war. it sure didn't want to have. to be at the time for me to just tell you? it's called an occupation. obama uses that. president obama uses that all the time. their occupiers. how can any people be occupied when they never had the land to begin the? said they didn't. it sounds to most people over west bank and gaza was over either one of them. at that time, jordan had rdc used in taken the west bank and called it the west bank because that is how it got its name from jordan's invasion of the shared in 1849. each of gerrity had gaza. before that, the

grounds that it infringed human rights so the british government wants to rush through its own law david cameron says that telecoms problems are just weeks away from deleting customer information ministers say that would have serious consequences for police.

>> we have seen from british prime minister david cameron some of the strongest language. he has said this might change completely the way the u.s. might assess its relationship with russia, she's spoken with the dutch prime minister by phone, and after the phone conversation they may well be looking at ramping up sanctions. the real question about sanctions is where will germany come down. they have been reluctant to be too harsh on the economic front because of ties between the two faces. if roger mercado can be convinced or persuaded or takes a tern on her own that, a stronger line needs to be taken, that the e.u. may - this may be a turning point in its relationship with russia. we do know there'll be a european union meeting in brussels on tuesday to discuss this matter and see what the european union should be doing in response to the downing. >> phil ittner in london. major mike lyons is a retired army major and senior fellow with the truman projects. we'll talk about the plaep crash, but first let's turn our attention to the situation in gaza. israel resumed shelli

common for a president to say they need to do this, but i understand their reluctance and you see david cameronwith tougher rhetoric. to pull all of those countries together is a big task. >> do you think there's rhetoric going onto vladimir putii think there's another reason behind this. if you look at what happened since the end of world war ii, the counter force to russia was the united states. the united states was the leader to a pose russia and lead europe in this direction. a as a as a as a as a as a as a as a as a a >>> meeting 234 -- in south it's an intriguing show. >> will the downing of flight 17 stiffen the resolve of the european union or will they remain wobbly on russia? >> wobbly now but they're stiffening a bit. >> that is right. i think there's still some hope they will tighten the screws on vladimir putin. >> stiffened wobbliness. >> i think it's a wobbly stiffness. >> i'm with you all. we'll be right back with predictions. >>> predictions, pat. >> collision between the president and congress later when it's revealed that there's no deal with the ukraine enrichment and they
