what is mr cameron scared of now we are more isolated that is as plain simple fact we're still paying this vast amounts of money every single day into the you but we here in the united kingdom haven't really got a say over it so actually although we've been treated as a hero and i'm sure he'll get warm applause from the benches when he goes into parliament today at three thirty i still feel the british people should have the right to have a vote so as you say that the british people should have the democratic right to vote here and have their say on as you are referring to various polls and surveys you're saying the majority of people in the u.k. are against being a part of this european neighborhood but i mean do you think that do you think the european union will work effectively with britain out of a school you know. no i don't see how we can honestly say i think events are basically outstripping it anyway i think the euro is crashing and burning i mean i think germany would want britain background that trayvon of course nick clegg wants to get out of u.k. back around that table an

mr. cameron did was just a defense of his country's national interest the same way that mr. sarkozy or ms. merkel did. they said that they were speaking on behalf of europe but they were speaking for their own country. where we are now is very clear. it is a reality. when times get hard, when times get tough, when we are going into governmental, the commissions and the parliament are completely sidelined. if we are going into governmental, there is the question about the legal issue of the agreement and its compatibility with the e.u. as well. where we are now, it is the result of that a misleading policy and one size fits all efforts. we will pay all economically. we will pay very dearly for that ideology to maintain the eurozone. this is not the e.u. policy for the 21st century. you might like it or not. if you do not get it, you may scrape through this crisis. for others, the consequences might be detrimental. >> are you ready to answer? >> yes. >> thank you, mr. president. >> you defended mr. cameron with an outstanding at the vehemence. you also mentioned the tax pairs.

mr. cameron's decision to go it alone. >> this picture might not make it on to david cameron's wall. it captures the moment europe split. 26 against one. the moment a british prime minister finally made a stand, say some. the moment others believe he was hopelessly outmaneuvered by the french president. >> you're in a room with 26 other people who are saying put aside your national interest, go along with the crowd, do what will make life easy and comfortable for you there in that room. but you say no. it's important that we get the things that britain needs, and so i decided not to sign that treaty. >> on the morning after a long night before, david cameron found himself alone at the e.u. summit table. he might have to get used to it. the leaders of france and germany and the european commission will now plan europe's economic future without britain. even countries now not in the euro will join in. when europe's leaders meet, it's quite possible that 26 will be in the room. one, you, britain, will not be there. how on earth is that in the country's interest? >> we don't want to join

mr. cameron. thank you. >> glad to be of assistance. >> it is an unfortunate occurrence, this business of davis absconding. >> oh, you heard about that, did you? >> well, one could scarcely miss it. >> well, the newspapers love scandals about that. >> ah, but that is human nature, mr. cameron. but it is comforting for us mere motorists to know that banks, too, have their difficulties. again, i thank you, monsieur. >> chief inspector japp, i wonder if i might ask you a few questions. you and davis are friends, i believe, mr. simpson. >> that's right. i can't believe this of him. there must be some mistake. >> if i told you, sir the number of times i've heard that said. if you had to hazard a conjecture, mr. simpson, as to where davis might go if he wanted to hide, where would you say? >> i don't know. he was fond of broadstairs. >> yes, i was thinking of somewhere a little more exotic than that, sir. foreign parts even. >> i don't think he's ever been abroad. >> you were at work as usual on wednesd

mr. cameron is accused of diplomacy. >> politics, there is one golden rule. you only walk away if you are sure that the others will come after you to win you back. >> hello. welcome to "gmt." also in the program, it is supposed to be a religious school. why did pakistan find 45 students chained in a cellar? canada goes cold on the climate change theory. it becomes the first country to pull out of the kyoto protocol. it is early morning in washington, midday in london, 1:00 in the afternoon at the home of the european union parliament. that is where the politicians have been venting their frustrations over written's veto of last week's summit. one senior vp said that david cameron had made a cardinal error of taking a stand without knowing the anyone would follow. >> the coalition government is strained, as never before. nick clegg has attacked the prime minister's veto of the european treaty. are these wounds that can be healed? skeptics are celebrating, meanwhile, in a lively debate. the leader of the u.k. independent party said that britain should end years

to shut up then last week he seems to be upset that mr cameron is actually using the veto so i think they don't always play with a straight bat all the time but i think what needs to be done in terms of the u.k. is actually getting the u.k. economy back on track to actually have sensible policies for the city of london and then to a to kill a to view the u.k. in a globalized interconnected global economy or we can argue that what was going to happen last thursday and friday is always going to be in the city's best interest but europe does need a strong international financial center and whatever your view is that the city of london clearly is europe's international financial center regardless of what happens in frankfurt or brussels do you agree just finally you're talking about what happens in frankfurt brussels in effect what happens to the euro zone the euro itself many predicting it could collapse what are your thoughts about that just briefly. here world the euro can't survive in its current format what we saw last week apart from the u.k. veto was once again a copout from the e

mr. cameron has called for. the players with the deepest pockets, and no signs they were preparing to do more. without that, many markets as a the eurozone is on borrowed time. >> unless we actually deal with the problems of imbalance and economic growth, it is hard to imagine the debt crisis will ever get better or that investors will see the prospects of solvency in sovereign governments as improving. >> the euro lives to fight another day with this deal. in or out, the risk of a catastrophe on our doorstep is still very real. bbc news. >> let's say with this story. wang tao has been explaining the importance of the eurozone to asian economies. >> eurozone, and europe is john oppose the largest export destination. eurozone is also very important second only to the u.s., as our export market. >> time oppose a trade surplus in november, $14.5 billion. could any of that money find its way into the eurozone to help? >> i think the european problem, as demonstrated by the eu summit yesterday, is actually for eurozo

mr. cameron may have alienated britain from the rest of europe from nothing. on monday, reign said his bid of dropping out of the fiscal accord was a red herring. in his words, if this was intended to prevent bankers and financial corporation frls the city from being regulated, that's not going to happen. this is key for david cameron. there does seem to be a bit of confusion over whether this regulation would include a sales tax on financial transactions. does it include that? >> so far the jury is out on that one. let's remind what the tobin tax could be. we're talking about a levi of about .1% and .100% on bonds, derivatives. the derivatives markets for the united kingdom is particularly sizable. the "financial times," andrew, said the uk could be contributing about 30% to 40% of the total turbine tax contributions if it were to be introduced here. it is a very contentious subject. i should also remind you the city of london, the financial district in london brings about 11% of the total tax revenues to the united kingdom, money badly needed at a time when

mr. cameron. we have this report. >> david cameron must be counting down the days to the christmas break. his decision to veto the treaty has left him with a painful reminder of the tensions within his own coalition. >> the prime minister. >> he took his place in the house of commons. there were calls about the absence of the deputy prime minister. he called for extra safeguards, -- >> i wish those safeguards had been accepted. but frankly i have to tell the house that the choice was a treaty without pop -- proper safeguards or no treaty. the right answer was no treaty. >> he went home to argue that britain was still very much part of europe. >> it is possible to be a full committee and an influential member of the european union. but to stay out of places that do not protect our interests. >> he said the united kingdom have been dangerously isolated. >> we will rue the day that he left great britain alone, without allies or influence. this is bad for great britain. >> last time he appeared in the

mr. cameron's view -- in our view, it would undermine what we have done to regulate the financial sector. that was a very necessary thing. mr. president, a government poll agreement has to be ratified by all parliaments? does it have to be ratified by 17 or 27? >> tonight, we agreed on the substance of the proposal to shore up the year wrote. -- the euro. we have chosen a legal format for this agreement. it will be an intergovernmental format. 17 + anyone willing to join us. the actual legal form of this will be discussed tomorrow morning because there are a number of additional questions we still have to settle. i was going to say tomorrow morning. not tomorrow morning, but later on this morning i will probably be able to give you more details after the legal framework within which all of this will take place. it will not be a protocol. it will be an intergovernmental agreement, the shape of which we will spell out later on. >> the text must be ready by march at the latest. we really want to move fast. >> mr. president, another question. this intergovernmental treaty with the 17 plus, do

mr. cameron has been urged by his own back benches to suss out what safeguards he will be seeking for britain share what some call the the bulldogs. as talks begin in brussels. -- the bulldog spirit as talks begin in brussels. >> david cameron is having to deal with pressure of europe. the eu summit will deal with not just their future of europe, but the coalition responsible. cards will the prime minister show some -- >> will the prime minister show some bulldog spirit in brussels? >> his own party ask him what he would do to fend off what they see as further threat of eu integration. >> this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. will the prime as trustees the moment? >> the prime minister said he will not sign a treaty that does not safeguard london from new bureau rules. >> -- euro roles. >> it is freezing the british economy, just as ed is -- as it is freezing others across the world. >> note carefully what he did not say. he was not listing the specific powers he wanted back from europe. >> what powers will you be arguing to repatriate? >> as i just explained to -- let me explain. >> baic

mr. cameron said he was acting on evening's -- england's best interests. but there are questions. here are the details. >> david cameron must be counting down the days to the christmas break. his decision to veto an e.u. treaty last week have left him with a painful reminder of the tensions in the own coalition. in the house of commons there was talk of where is playing, talking about the absence of the deputy prime minister. his calls for the safeguards for the financial sector weren't heeded. >> i have to tell the house the choice was a treaty without proper safeguard or no treaty and the right answer was no treaty. >> nevertheless, the prime minister went on to argue that britain was still very much part of europe. >> i am clear it is possible to be a full, committed and influential member of the european union, but to stay out of agreementses that don't pro toket us. >> they said the u.k. has been isolated. >> we will rue the day when this prime minister has left britain alone without alleys. it is bad for business, bad for jobs, bad for britain. >> the last time david cameron

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 to the fund and the problem of slow growth in europe. >> that is true, but we should not underestimate what happened. from the british point of view, it is a political story, from the european point of view this is a big economic store. look what has happened the past couple three months. we have the new government increase, new government in italy, both of them technocratic, new government in spain, which is dedicated to austerity. we also have this new treaty, the 17 countries in force in fiscal discipline. these are quite big developments. i think the

mr. cameron, among them. during the night, britain said it could not accept proposed amendments to the eu treaty after it failed to win concessions for itself. >> the key question for britain is do we allow that to happen within the european union treaty if you are not happy with the safeguards you are given? i was not agreed to -- i was not willing to take it to my parliament in that way. that is why i rejected the treaty today. 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 work

long past one side of it and i wish i wish mr cameron a lot of luck let him read the financial times this boarding. give him a good advice ok james if i can go to you are we going to go through the whole process again with the european union well just keep asking though i different question until they get you get the right answer or you keep going through this one who passed or another after another and then all of it all this time it's like the titanic that is going to hit that iceberg and think. that has been the practice in the past. the other con the question of democracy it is fairly clear at the moment that the e.u. leaders are particularly interested in democracy i mean no one voted to mario monti no one voted. greece nor voted for maria draggy is the new president of the european central bank which is so quietly behind all this there is a quite a serious threat to democracy right the way across the continent at the moment and to the extent blackmail is being concocted by cozy and merkel being presented to a vote on friday then i think it's another potential blow for democracy

mr. cameron did. what we began to realize, there is a political shift going on. it is a generational shift. young people under the age of 30 do not think right-left. they don't think about ideology. it is not even part of their vocabulary radar screen in history. when a young person in the internet generation judge's institutional behavior, the judge it along a different spectrum. is this particular institution of behavior centralized? top-down? patriarchal, clothes and proprietary? is this institutional behavior of distributed, collaborative, transparent, and open? that this was going on in the arab spring with of the young google generation, what is going on on wall street helped. that is what is torn down all over the world. we are seeing a see change in the political landscape from centralized distributed and from top down to lateral out. the third industrial resolution to the evolution changes the political and cultural landscape fundamentally. it is fundamental. that me give you one example of how the business model changes because this is totally counter i

mr. camerons skin to effectively veto any treaty changes, that means that this deal will apply to the core 17 euro nations nap isn't a bad thing, though, because these are the countries that really need their budget sorted out. what we're talking about here is what's branded a fiscal compact that essentially means, christine, we're talking about stricter rules about balancing the budgets, keeping the deficitses down. for those countries that don't manage to perform, especially with bailout, they could face automatic sanctions and putting in a little more money for future problems should they crop up. >> reaction from the bond market, frankly, aggressive in their response to how that he think things are going. what are bond investors the capital markets, how are he reacting? >> reporter: for the moment, a little relief because obviously this is a step in the right direction. some people are saying. the real hope, christine, in brussels they can actually get everything sorted out and implemented as soon as possible. they want the rules in place by at least march. they're expecting at some po
