so as you know from one thousand nine hundred ninety two thousand and two gordon brown sold off four hundred tonnes of britain's gold they haven't read max revealed why gordon brown sold britain's gold at a knockdown price but it seemed as if the treasury were only seeking to achieve the lowest price according to the telegraph so they're now looking back on it and they found out that one globally significant us bank in particular is understood to have been heavily short on two tons of gold enough to call into question its solvent see a free demps in occurred at the prevailing price faced with the prospect of a global collapse in the banking system the chancellor took the decision to balance the banks by dumping britain's gold forcing the price down and allowing the banks to buy back gold at a profit thus meeting their borrowing obligations but this is the beginning of a major period in manipulation by governments which now the latest chapter is the lie bore barclays bank of england and it relation but going back to this gold manipulation there was a major bank in the us short gold th

gordon brown. can i look? all right. well, that's not very nice, what you said about miss braebrook. well, she shouted at me for talking when it wasn't even me that was talking. it was maisie that was talking. so i wrote her a note. was that note at all like this note? with the observations about her... weight? um, yes. but... she ignored it, which is very rude, so i'm writing a letter to gordon brown to tell him to fire her and put her in jail!

it how they remarkably maeglin maniacal finance minister gordon brown who went on to become an utterly incompetent prime minister and i think there's little doubt that there was are far too cozy an appallingly cozy relationship between the banks and gordon brown i think it's only a matter of time before that's likely to come and in the meantime there could be collateral damage collateral damage to the bank of england and indeed other parties and aspects of the regulatory system so three sculpts already three top executives of barclays will more follow in other banks even in barclays. oh i think there are a lot more scouts to follow here i mean what we've got is a situation where the banks were ultimately during the course of the years running up to the credit crunch of two thousand and eight two thousand and nine palpably incompetent very few people really have paid any price within the banks then we had this incredible wave of money where the government force reasons that are really no one don't need to themselves swarm the banks with money but effectively didn't get a good pint of fl

or the dvds that the president gave to gordon brown that didn't even work in the british dvd players or the return of the churchill bust? let's compare gaffes, shall we in diplomatic gaffes? how did they prepare? >> okay. there have been low moments anglo american relations. i think 1775 was a pretty bad one we rather took against the upstart george washington look where it left us. i mean the interesting thing about this is that there are two aspects to it when it comes to the public reaction, i mean there is a bit of a -- has been a bit of a collective sense in the united kingdom that mitt romney has done something on our birthday cake and it's because of the fact that britain tends to love its celebrities and love its sports but is not particularly interested in politics generally. i mean, you know, if mitt romney had said that actually david cammeron is a complete anyone anyone can -- he has gota point there but with this they are not happy with this at all. have to say more are -- nor are the politicians. >> peter, here is my question though. why does mitt romney think that he i

scotland was run by a guy named linden scour field and you know boss is now owned by lloyds following gordon brown intervening and forcing lloyds to buy h. boss which now meant that lloyds had to be bailed out by the u.k. taxpayer which now owns forty one percent of the. lloyds but anyway the crime the fraud pile the toxic jellyfish that the british population now own started with linda schiro field when he required small businesses us that condition for getting a loan to employ an independent consultancy company specializing in turning around troubled businesses this was key side corporate services it was alleged that a number of businesses ended up in more debt than before i got involved in many cases the company's total borrowings from each boss increased tenfold within a couple of years of david mill who owned the side getting involved he forced them into all these that's basically using this as a way to asset strip right this is the banking model of. of taking on these huge debts getting the government to bail you out and turn acquiring assets for pennies on the dollar which is migrated over

also in london, mark brown was deputy secretary-general of the united nations and a member of gordon brown's cabinet. welcome to you all. so let's start with the crises. mark malick brown, you've dealt with these issues often, and your former boss, kofi annan, is now trying to broker some kind of settlement in syria. is he likely to be successful? >> well, i think you've got to go on giving diplomacy a chance while being very realistic that it may not get us across the finishing line. in the balkans, many of us remember diplomacy went on for too long, and we didn't, you know, turn to military solution soon enough. but i do think that kofi annan has made progress. the russian and american positions in private are closer than they often appear in public. and still, if there is a united international community, the regional neighbors plus russia and the united states and europe all rowing in the same direction on this, this is the best way to get the transition to a legitimate government that the country has. >> dominique, in france, there seems considerably less enthusiasm under francois holla

just as barack obama did in 2008, in july, where he met with tony blair, where he met with gordon brownh opposition leaders, where he met with our troops. we hope that governor romney's trip sets the same kind of specific policy standards and is not just simply a photo op or fund-raising opportunity or to view the olympics. as much as we want to see our country succeed in the olympics, we hope that london visit is much more about encouraging gold medals. >> what about the fact the president has not been to israel since he took office? >> well, let's clear that up. barack obama has been to israel cities in israel where hamas is right -- >> before he was sworn in. >> that's before he was sworn in, and when you go to the southern cities and you see where hamas has rained rockets on the israeli people you understand why the security relationship with israel and the united states is very important. when you go visit, you understand what the holocaust meant to the jewish people and people around the world. you know what security arrangements mean. and, andrea, i think it's really important wh

coalition has tried to pin part of the rate fixing on the government of former labor prime minister gordon brownhether the party directly or indirectly sanctioned the manipulation. we talked about it, andrew, when you weren't here. >> read some things on twitter about things said on "squawk". >> when private banks do it, when central bankers do it it's a totally different thing and central bankers because of their heft and size can dislocate markets much more than a private banker ever could and probably build up, you know, asset bubbles and things that need to finally come home -- >> if all the things that you could push out, the ceo of a bank for during the financial crisis, it was about trying to keep libor lower during the crisis at the behest of government. >> there was a wink and a nod that it would be good to look safe. >> i am confident regulators understood what was going on. >> explain bob diamond to me. >> they hated him all along. >> politics of london. politics of uk -- >> american in london. they never liked him over there. >> fat cats write stories with the headline. they do like

when he goes to britain just like barack obama did in 2008 of july, he met with prime minister gordon brownnd talked about specifics, the timeline and afghanistan and troops. he talked about supporting nato and our troops and being effective. he talked about sanctions with iran, which he's been very effective in implementing. he talked about al qaeda and getting bin laden, which he's done. those are substantiative things that i think the american people want to hear about governor romney and this is a big question about governor romney's experience as he goes overseas. >> well, he spoke about all those things at his major speech before the veterans of foreign wars yesterday. he addressed all those issues. the specific question is there is this anonymous quote in a british newspaper, we don't know if it's true, there's no name attached. the campaign, the romney campaign, issued a statement saying this "today the race for the highest office in the land was diminished to a sad level when the vice president of the united states used an anonymous and false quote from a foreign newspaper to prop
