give the scottish national party. it looks like they are displacing the labour party in the traditional heartlands of labor in scotland. we are almost certainly going to see tomorrow is that no party will reach the magic number of -- there was some dispute over what that number is, 300 and 23 seats -- 323 seats in a 500 seat chamber. that means you'll have a lot of horse trading. you'll have david cameron, the current prime minister, trying to form a new coalition government or minority government. and you will have ed miliband from labor, the opposition leader trying to do the same in cobble together some sort of arrangement will form a government. really anybody that tell you they know what is going to happen is not telling the truth. hsoost: what role could the scottish national party play than? if there is no clear majority then they will have to try to build a coalition here. what role could the scottish national party play? guest: they are fascinating. the only poll at 5%. but because they are the first past the

he had the scottish national party sort of in the mix as well. in the end, it was the tories, the labour party, and the liberal democrats with a shared agenda, a relatively stable arrangement, which had indeed lasted five years. this time, it looks like it will be much less tenuous, or much more tenuous. it could take many, many days. the big date on the calendar is may 27 when the queen's speech, which is when the new government agenda is made out. but some people are saying we could even get a situation where that speech or the cleanest is asked to make a speech in which you have a person in miliband or david cameron trying to become the new prime minister, but not sure whether the queen's speech will be passed in the house of commons. host: announcer: our election coverage on itv comes up today at 4:00 55 -- at 4:55 eastern on c-span. there is news in the last settlements from new york city that the federal appeals report says that the bulk collection of data -- a three-judge panel says the case brought by the american civil liberties union ill

scottish national parties with the result of this loss of seats, but also by the english nationalism. this has been whipped up by david cameron literally -- deliberately. that has been a painful squeeze for the labour party and there are many labour party activists and candidates and members across england who have worked so hard in this election. i have seen it in many constituencies who will feel quite sorely cheated out of the result that they worked for and expected by what happened in scotland. tom: i have a feeling this is a conversation that may continue for some weeks. we are going up to rejoin nina in the opinion room but first let me tell you about what is happening at the bottom of the screen. you can now see seats with a one next to labour. will update with more results. nina: i am joined by twitter's global head of politics. fascinating night so far. >> the conversation today has been phenomenal. more people tweeting about the election than the royal baby last saturday. when the exit poll came out, the conversation had changed. labour had been driving that conversation in

aside from the conservative victory, the other headline was the huge gains made by the scottish national party. the separatist party bounced back in style after losing in last year's separatist referendum. as barnaby phillips reports from the town of falkirk not everyone is happy with the party party's meteoric rise. >> here they are more than 50 of them. many of them no doubt amazed by the scale of their victory. scottish national party mps guess for a team photo before travel to go westminster. they are the new force in british politics, yet their success does not tell the whole story of the election in scotland. [music] >> from the town of falkirk it's parade day. this town voted no to independence in last year' referendum but like everywhere else in scotland it has elected a nationalist mp. >> the scale of their support is distorted by the british voting system. they won 95% of scottish seats with only 50% of the votes. and that leaves the other half of the scottish electorate with very little representation. >> we found some of them on full kirk's high street like this pensioner who voted

to scott land now, who is standing boy for us, in glasco, with popular opinion has given the national partyabsolutely emphatic -- everyone knew that, they were going to get the most seats and i don't think anyone predicted what 57 is it now? >>> or 59 seats? >>> well, there are 59 seats in skeet land and, there are throw that they haven't taken. the conservatives got and one seat in scotland, and, good night for them, because they managed to keep ahold of that seat, and the labor managed, and one seat that the liberals, and up to 53 seats and almost at that full quota and, they are thrilled, i mean you should have been here earlier the cheergs were hugely emphasized. and it was busy. and, danny alexander 18,000 votes. and that means that danny alexander,. >>> liberal democrat, has lost his position, in the government as well, in the policy will a particulars. he was on the cusp of losing it, and, going out for this seat and, not much of a surprise and cheers here all night and completely, and the labor party of the dominant party here, in glasco and, they had 7 seats and they lost all 7. th

it's been a result for the scottish national party, a huge increase to 58 seats. tim friend has more. >> reporter: it looks like david cameron will remain as prime minister. the usually highly reliable exit poll predicts he'll have most seats, but fall short of a majority. he may decide to run a minority government or form a fresh coalition. the same poll suggests that labour leader ed miliband failed to make the impact he'd hoped. >> if we have a situation where the toreies have 15 seats, it will be like a moral win. i think what we'll see is not collision but minority. the liberal developments have been punished. nick cleg's party predict to get 10 seats, down from 2010. the immediate trial went to nicola sturgeon's scottish nationalist. virtually a clean sweep of scotland 58 seats, up from six in 2010. the successes included a 20-year-old candidate unseating the national campaign manager. >> what we have seen is scotland putting its trust, to stand up for scotland and make the voice heard and be a voice. that's not what we intend to do. >> reporter: it's been a

national party. 50 84 nicola sturgeon -- 58 for nicola sturgeon.k clegg for the liberal democrats on 10, down 47 from the last election. ukip -- treat that with caution. it is difficult to work and places where ukip has not stood before. two for ukip. we shall discover when he first results start coming in how accurate it is. if that is the story, it is a sensational story. nick? nick: sensational. an extraordinary night if the exit poll is right. you sensed cries of joy from conservatives gloom -- conservatives, gloom for the labour party, misery amongst liberal democrats. even if the exit poll is broadly right, quite small shifts in those numbers of seats which is perfectly possible within the margin of error of an exit poll, could produce dramatic changes to who governs britain next. the conservatives talked of winning a majority. a few of them believe that possible. many of them believed they would not make games. if that exit poll shifts a bit david cameron may still struggle to find the allies he needs to form a majority government. ed miliba

this as the scottish national party makes big gains at the labour party. we have the latest with erin mclaughlin. >> reporter: good morning, christine. shocking and unprecedented. all words used to describe the election. you know going into this many thought british prime minister david cameron would struggle to hold on to downing street. the map simply did not look like it was in his favor. the polls showing people thought a hung parliament. those polls seeming to be wrong this morning. his conservative party on track according to some projections to win an outright majority in parliament and if not that then enough seats to at the very least, form a workable government. prime minister cameron could not be more pleased. take a listen. >> some people say, in fact i often said, there is only one opinion poll that counts. that's the one on election day. i'm not sure that's ever been truer than it has been today and tonight. this is clearly a very strong night for the conservative party. i think we had a positive response to a positive campaign about safeguar

she has lead the scottish national party to an astonishing victory all but sweeping the labor party outf scotland. >> it hasn't happened overnight, labor has been losing the trust of the people of scotland for many years and failed to heed repeated warnings but we're seeing scotland put its trust in this party and be a voice for more aggressive politics. >> reporter: a succession of leading politicians lost their seats. for some in the party which has such deep roots in scotland there was gallows humor, but others must wonder what happened. >> it's not an easy one to explain. as far as i can make out, the scottish publish which for decades were happy to support a labor party that strongly opposed nationally. and independence, now believe that independence is the most important priority. >> reporter: so are we now bound to see another referendum on whether scotland should leave the united kingdom. >> i think it's highly likely and i think it probably became more likely as a result of today's general election. i don't think the appetite in the smp leadership is to have a referendum in the

scottish national party which could be a huge factor. it looks like displacing the labor party in the traditional heart lands of labor in scotland. what we're almost certainly going to see tomorrow is that no party will reach the magic number of -- there's dispute over what the magic number is -- but 323 seats in a 650-seat chamber. that can get an absolute majority majority. what that means, you're going to have a lot of horse trading. david cameron the current prime minister trying to form a new coalition government or minority government. you're going to have ed miliband the labor leader the opposition leader trying to do the same. trying to get together some sort of arrangement which will form a government. really, anybody that tells you that they know what's going to happen is not telling you the truth. >> toby harnden, what role could the scottish national party play then, given what you're talking about? if there's no clear majority, then they're going to have to try to build a coalition here. what role then could the scottish nati

that is largely because the scottish national party have all but wiped out neighboring scotland and haveen 56 out of 59 possible seats. and liberal democrats had a disaster night and down 8 sights or at 8 seats and down by 46 and in a minute we will hear from them and have the latest on the uk independence party leader who failed to get elected and more on the landslide scottish national victory in scotland from barnabie but first lawrence lee is live for us in london so lawrence we are getting to the point i guess where we start to hear the victory and the resignation speeches. take us forward. >> yes, that's right. and frankly i don't think the conservative party in their wildest, most fevered dreams could possibly have imagined that things would go this well for them. this time yesterday there was absolutely no indication whatsoever by anybody that there would be an outright majority for any single party and there were assumptions of weeks of tortured negotiations to try to shackle together some sort of arrangement in this new world of coalition politics inside the uk and yet consider

one the region there being the labor, being wiped pretty much cleaned by the snp, the scottish national partyg major gains. we are waiting to hear from the labor leader to see if he will follow clague and and then -- the labor party leader to see if he will follow nick clegg and resign. they did win 56 out of 59 the snp. you see nicola sturgeon speaking earlier. i will bring in "france 24's" european editor christopher beck. this is different from a long run up to yesterday's vote. it has turned things down a net. >> absolutely. it is a bizarre election. 44 hours ago talking about these results, it would have looked like coming out of a science fiction movie, to be honest, because nobody had predicted nobody, not a single polling station had predicted that mr. cameron would win an outright majority, and that seems to be the case today. he is missing technically one seed but we know he already de facto command a majority in the british parliament. what is also quite striking is that mr. cameron will have claimed three leaders' scalps in a way. we are waiting to see what mr. miliband will do, b

but big night for cameron and the scott tradition national party.urope and scotland gets very interesting for cameron in the next few years. >> cameron had said he would hold a referendum on whether the [ inaudible ] should remain part of the u.k. >> i remain skeptic. the financial markets have warned them that it would be financial suicide for london for the u.k.'s financial industry. so i'm skeptical, but he did promise it. he will kind of have to deliver it. >> the u.k. could also face another ren ren dumb over scottish independence. there are some 56 members of parliament representing the scott ish national party. >>> burundi's president officially announced his plan to run again. the u.n. says many of the refugees report being threatened and intimidated because of the up coming elections. >>> today is the 70th anniversary of the end of world war ii in europe. european leaders met in poland where the first shots were fired to mark victory in europe day. russia is holding a victory parade tomorrow, many countries are boycotting it over the fighti

honestly, the reinforcement of the scottish national party is a force to be contended with. th the tories? the party got crushed. labour took a hit. brendan: it was interesting to hear the speech last night. he said, we ran a positive campaign was a positive result. i don't know that is true. he ran a very negative campaign. he said beware of an alliance between scottish national party and labor. he's a beware of -- based on the possibilities of what could go wrong. tom: olivia sterns, is he alone this morning? to me that is the key question. olivia: it looks like david cameron will have an outright majority. tom: alan krueger with us. professor, this goes to the distinction of how we run our shop versus the parliament. cameron really can call his own show forward, right? >> he probably doesn't mind being lonely. tom: which is different from what mr. boehner or others have to face. olivia: i wonder what this means for cameron's economic agenda. the former business speaker who lost his seat yesterday did have an impact. he was outspoken against the banks. we are seeing banks s

, and just under 5% of the scottish national party. ed balls, born in the same year as myself 1967, he entered the united kingdom political fray back in 2004, when he went into the westminster position. let's take you into that's constituency. these are the results. labour has had -- the tories took it. 39% of the vote. have a look at this. that is a much lower turnout than we saw in 2010. that has really taken hold in terms of the news flow. going back to the map, we talk about scotland, and the whitewash with labor and the scottish national party. let me take you into the heart of scotland. alexander, one of the liberal democrats, he made it clear that he would have a tough job on his hands. this was his constituency. these are how the numbers went. you saw the scottish national party taking nearly 10,000 more votes from the liberal democrats. alexander is out. we are seeing the snp exceed the power there. the voter turnout here, lower than we saw in 2010. voter turnout around 50%. back in 2010, 74%. drew henry is the new mp in that

the scottish national party. you can see it flashing yellow. basically, an annihilated labor in those seats. if we get back to the main board , look at the results, you can see that the conservatives lead at the moment in terms of seats. you can see the number of seats that the snp has. you got 106 seats remaining. the magic number for that majority is 326. again, a little more detail on how this has been out. i've got tom joining me. i want to start with the latest polls suggesting the conservatives could be on course to win 325 seats, labor just 232. is this a surprise? >> it is a surprise. we were predicting the firm -- the conservatives would form the largest party. it is the difference between conservatives and labor which is much greater than we were estimating. nejra: this 325 number is effectively a majority. 326 is the mathematical number they need to reach, but there are parties in northern ireland that don't take their seats. the majority could be more like 321. tom: they would need all the parties aga

[cheering] the scottish national party predicted to win 66 out of 59 seats in scotland roundly defeatingabor party and smp is sending the youngest to westminster, 1967 he is 20-year-old black. pakistan military says six people have been killed when one of the helicopters crashed in the country's north. it happened in the town here two ambassadors from norway and philippines, the wives of malaysia and indonesia and two pilots killed and they were travelling to the area on a separate aircraft to launch two projects. yemen's northern sanaa province hit by the heaviest strikes since the saudi-led bombing began and this is on the border of saudi arabia and hit houthi positions. the coalition say they also targeted a houthi command center west of sada. in other news the u.s. defense secretary says american troops started training syrian fighters to combat, the islamic state of iraq and the levante and a few months before the first group of 90 fighters will be deployed. >> these trainees are recruited, they are vetted and only then are they put into training so they have been in the program for

the scottish national party swept every seat in scotland. that put and depends back on the agenda of months after it was rejected by voters -- independence back on the agenda. david cameron: we will govern as a party of one nation. that means entering this recovery reaches all parts of our country from north to south, two east and west -- to east and west. rebalancing the economy. mark: in discussions with banks to raise about $25 billion in financing -- the money would be used to back its unsolicited bid for mylan. teva has yet to decide the size of any potential increase. myla says it wants to stay independent. the world's largest maker of chemicals has rejected a $45 billion takeover offer from monsanto. the offer undervalues the company and does not reflect its growth prospects. the combination would create the biggest supplier of seeds and crop chemicals. monsanto dominates the market for gmo's. that's a look at the top stories we are following on this friday. more now on the rebound in u.s. hiring. he was chief economist at rbs joins me

here's the rub because miliban is saying, no, no, i will not have a coalition with the scottish national partyhat in the end probably wants to separate from the national kingdom. but there's no way that he can try to without the support of the scottish national party. so you have cameron accusing him of conning voters, and in the end critics saying that marriage of convenience between miliban and the smp would be toxic to the united kingdom. >> the big thing is the rise of the scottish national party and what that means for the united kingdom as a whole. it has been months since we have had that, and the scottish lost. and a lot of people worry that that means the breakup of the country. >> here's another scenario for you, tony. it may be that miliban is trying to govern as a minority party, if the labors come up with the largest numbers. and even if the torres try to do the same thing. and that means that they will be very unstable. that they will stumble from one vote to another as they introduce pieces of legislation, and maybe they survive, and maybe they don't. maybe there has to be anoth

national government. if the polls are saying people are evenly split between the conservatives and labor, and you've got the rainbow of other parties not massively significant in terms of king mating i have a sneaking suspicion that that last to do of british politics might be broken. we've never had a national government outside of a war but we've never had a coalition. the coalition has been a successful form of government. i can see a situation where you end up with even stevens on the blue and red parties. i can see cameron reaching out to ed miliband and saying, what the people voted for was both of us. francine: with who as prime minister? mark: that is the tricky one. it would almost definitely be whoever had the most votes. you have the situation where both parties will want to get rid of their leaders for not having achieved a majority. that gets into the whole thing. you may end up with boris on the blue side and ed balls on the red side. i think we shouldn't discount the possibility of a national government. if that's what the will of the people has expressed, maybe the politicians will listen. maybe having had a coaliti

morning after there will be more doubts about it. >> having viewed the success of the scottish national party, not in gaining independent but in winning all these seats what encouragement is there to give to other separatist parties in the rest of europe such as in spain. a very small party to the dominant party in scotland across one election cycle so i think yes it will encouraging tendencies across europe and elsewhere. >> is britain the international player, there were suggests in the sections of the media when we saw francoise elan. and the deal on the jets. >> it's always been there that has programs reasserted. perhaps germany leading on issues like ukraine and the relative absence from the crisis management, in recent months. and the refusal he was willing to throw money at everything else, but the one thing he wasn't prepared is the 2% going on the defense spending the that toe target. so i think there is a feeling that britain has turned inwards that retreated from the world. >> thank you very much, indeed. mark brown, thank you very much indeed. >> thank you. >> okay, the senior co

that is largely because the scottish national party have all but wiped out labor in scotland and have 56 out of 59 possible seats. liberal democrats had a disaster night and down by 46 retaining 8 seats. david cameron is expected to meet the queen soon to discuss forming a government. >> this is clearly a very strong night for the conservative party. i think we have had a positive response to a positive campaign about safeguarding our economy, about creating jobs about a record the government over the last five years but above all a plan for the next five years, based on clear values. >> reporter: expecting to hear from the labor party leader ed soon he hasn't yet made a decision about the future of his leadership but nick of the liberal democrats has and this is what the prime minister had to say a short time ago. >> clearly results have been more crushing and unkind than i ever could have feared. that of course i must take responsibility and therefore i announce that i will be resigning as leader of the liberal democrats. >> reporter: nick an of course loser there but a big winner i

front party bears my surname and i hope she loses it as rapidly as possible. i don't want the national front party to be called le pen. reporter: the decision comes after they were diverting views. last month, he rehashed comments he made in the 1980's, describing the nazi gas chambers as a detail of history. and he has made disparaging comments against a french singer living in a white world. >> we are here today because of him. reporter: marine le pen has adopted a more moderate party line in attempt to more supporters. the latest move could be seen as opposed to 22016 presidential debate. but john murray said he would -- jean-louis -- jean-marie le pen said he would fight that effort. genie: france is looking to change its surveillance laws in a move to better fight terrorism. this in the wake of the terror attacks earlier this year in paris. it would grant the state sweeping powers to spy on it citizens, but critics and rights groups said the bill is both vague and intrusive. meanwhile, french president francois hollande is in saudi arabia today where he will be the first western l

nicklas has lead the scottish national party to an astonishing victory that has sent shock waves across united kingdom, all but sweeping the labor party out of scottland. >> it hasn't happened overnight. labor has been losing the trust of the people of scotland for if years. but what we're seeing today is scotland putting its trust in our party and be a voice for more aggressive politics and that's what he intend to do. >> reporter: a succession of leaders lost their seats. for some in the party which has such deep roots, there was gal louse humor. but others must wonder and struggle for reasons of what happened. >> it's not easy to explain. as far as i can make out, the scottish publish which for decades were happy to support the labor party now believe they have abandoned the most important priority. >> reporter: we are now bound to see scotland leave the united kingdom? >> i think it became more likely. i don't think the appetite is to have another referendum in the immediate future, but until they start to see polls in scotland that consistently puts polls over 50%, i don't think th

less than 24 hours after elections that stunned the nation, the leaders of three major political partiesave already quit. after the election results that nobody predicted, the conservative prime minister david cameron has won a second term with an even bigger majority. reporter: no pollster, nope put in, no political leader saw it coming. not even david cameron himself. another trip to the palace, the invite to serve as prime minister for another five years. but this time not after any deal and not in a coalition. mr. cameron: i've just been to see her majesty, the queen, and i will form a majority government. reporter: he could afford to pay tribute to two soon-to-be ex party leaders whose hopes he crushed. mr. cameron: i have been prime to be the first coalition government in 70 years, and i want to thank all of those who made it a success, in particular on this day nicollet. ed miliband called this morning to wish me luck with the new government. it was a typically generous gesture from someone who is clearly in public service for all the right reasons. reporter: and he warned again b

having the scottish national party at westminster to a lot of english is a concern. that may explain these polls. mark: how soon will we know actual results? i know it is nighttime there. francine: we just heard in the last couple minutes that we will hear from the first proper seats in 40 minutes. that is record time. we should have a much better idea in about 3-4 hours. 5:00 in the morning our time, so seven hours from now, we should have a clear idea. john: francine, thank you. these british elections have us all backward. we did our guest first and our domestic talk after the break. george w. bush and tom brady when we come back. ♪ mark: just like the 2013 super bowl power outage, we had a technical snafu. we'll do a classic restart. let's pick up in iowa with the state republican party says it is cutting charges to campaigns. it will be less of a fundraiser and more of a festival of democracy. mark, my question is, who wins and loses with this change? mark: it's good for the republican party. i think it is good for candidates like rand paul, mike huckabee, and r

-- scottish national party. >> and? >> it's putting one politics in the pocket of another. >> what is negative. >> they felt it was negative. >> no one is talking about hitler in this situation. >> i think what -- >> you basically had a prime minister without did that am i right neville chamberlain slam. >> we would never have anything of that kind of nature. i. >> god, it's like these people didn't even hear me. >> dammit. >> in fact, no one was listening. but i knew the best place to talk about things that no one wanted to hear is on cable tv so i walked through the hallowed halls of bbc international to knock some sense into the british public. >> what do you make of it all. >> i have to tell you you guys are messing it up. you need american style pollish-- politics in your british style whatever you call it. >> what would you inject on whatever we have got. >> you call them pounds or coins, you need money. >> right, but what about the fact that there is a possibility that ed miliband the leader of the opposition --

she had lead the scottish national party to an astounding victory. sweeping the labor party out of scotland. >> it is not something that happened overnight or even just since the referendum. labor has been losing the trust of the people of scotland for many years. but what we're seeing today is scotland putting its trust in the snp to standing up for scotland in westminster, and be a voice of more aggressive politics and that's what we intend to do. >> reporter: a succession of leaders lost their seats. for some in the party which has such deep roots in scotland these past 100 years, there was gallows humor. >> i can't explain it. it's not an easy one to explain. as far as i can make out, the scottish public which for decades were happy to support a labor party that strongly supported nationally. and independence now believe that independence is the most important priority. >> reporter: so are we now bound to see another referendum on whether scotland should leave the united kingdom. >> i think it became more likely today as a result of the election.

>> opponents in the scottish national party are taking to the airwaves arguing that the public would prefer a government that would keep the u.k. together even if it can't get a majority. >> no so that's what gives cameron what he claims is a moral high ground to effectively repel orders. but he still has to have a healthy number of mps. >> in the corridors of power senior civil servants have been hards at work reminding politicians that rules are rules rules. >> the idea to exclude the snp scotland has voted for them. they voted for them. that's a fact of life that has to be taken into account. >> if this was all simple then the party with the biggest gang would gain victory. but the bookmakers say this is not simple at all. >> lawrence we're just talking about the israeli elections and they have coalition governments. a lot of european countries have coalition governments. why are the british so uneasy with that concept even though they've had one for years. why are they so uneasy with the concept of coalitions. >> there is a tradition of it isn't there and the way the system works

how do you see -- for example, you describe a clear difference with the scottish national party over ic decisions. how do you see cameron approaching that? >> he hans outright majority, 331 seats gives him the majority over the left leaning parties close to 30 majority, more like 15, all the other parties included. this is his chance after five years ago of coalition government to follow the plan that the conservatives saw. so i don't think they're looking for partners. they would like to avoid having partners. the danger is if he ends up in the situation john major was in in 1992, he had a majority, a little more than david cameron has now. pretty soon, he found in the back benches, those without positions in the cabinet, the ministries started to go suicidal on europe. they were absolutely determined to fight european integration. so when the referendum comes up when he thinks he has a majority for domestic agenda he might find a rebellion on his dossier. >> reporter: how does this affect the united states. >> david cameron when he took power in 2010 as coalition government i think

you will vote for the scottish national party. if you are a conservative or anybody worried about things, you might like a conservative who sounds like he is not so interested in helping immigrants and helping poor people, and you do not want to go with labor because you're going to help the poor people. we all have to worry now, and we want the politicians that protects us. in order for that to work there has to be a clearly defined them -- us and them. it has to be worked out so that you have an us that is big enough to have you win the election and you basically say to them over and over, i am you, you are me, we will take care of each other. the storm is coming, but we will get through it. they are going to take it on the chin. this is the politics of mr. walker in wisconsin, only they're the "we they" is played differently -- it goes like this, i am the conservative, just like all of you folks in wisconsin, all of you hard-working, private sector workers, and i am going to protect you by sticking it to the public employees. k

england that voted right wing or for ukip and scotland which entirely voted for the scottish national party on a campaign of more powers for the poor, less austerity and a program left of the labour party. the dividing line in the u.k. is a right wing england and leftwing scotland. in westminster that's difficult, they're locked out of power. they if they don't get anything they want, might start to say it's time for another independence referendum from the u.k. >> thank you lawrence. >> a helicopter crash in pakistan killed ambassadors from the philippines and norway and the wives from norway and indonesia. it went down 185 miles from islamabad. six people died, including the pilots. let's go live in islamabad. the pakistani taliban has issued a statement claiming they shot down this helicopter. is there any evidence or confirmation of this claim? >> well, the military has rejected that, even though the tag ban pakistan statement was very quick to send a note to the media outlet saying that the shoulder-fired missile was fired to bring down the helicopter that the intended target was the p

i think realistically the scottish national party wouldn't get their way. a majority in parliament among conservatives and labor for maintaining trident. it's all going to be so messy. you don't know what the parties the bigger parties, conservative or labor depending the numbers, are going to have to give to get it. >> does david cameron have a mitt romney problem here? has he had trouble relating because of his upper crust background? >> he absolutely has. he's had it since he began leader of the conservative party in 2005. he's an older, oxford educated. he sounds a little like me. he doesn't sound like your average brit. and i think certainly in government you know he struggled to get the impression that he understands ordinary concerns. there's been a time when people have been hard up in britain, when wages have been falling in the u.s. he hasn't done a good job of getting across the idea that although the economy's recovering, it's a recovery benefiting most people rather than just people like him. >> can we talk about america for a minute? >> of cour

but that's why the scottish national party has become such a problem for the prime minister david cameronbecause they have had such a successful campaign. none of the two big parties can form a coalition government without their support. and david cameron doesn't want that to happen because they want independence. he and his supporters have now come close to suggesting that the threat from the scottish nationalist is such that the future of the united kingdom that it would be better to exclude them from power even if it might mean a minority government and even if it meant ripping up the rule book. north london a very wealthy and liberal area the lab leader comes from around here and his party is trying to hang on to his constituency but some labor supporters don't like the idea of their party doing deals with those who would chop down the united kingdom. would you vote labor if they didn't have to get the support of the scottish nationalists? >> yes, definitely. >> reporter: this election is forcing together parties which are like apples and oranges, and that makes things potentially ver

the majority of the seats. >> i want my party and i hope a government i would like to lead to reclaim a mantle we should never have lost a mantle of one united nation one united kingdom that's how i will govern if i'm fortunate enough to form a government in the coming days. >> the main leader of the opposition party said his party faced an uphill battle. >> this is clearly a very disappointing and difficult night for the labor party. we haven't made the gains we wanted in england and wales and in scotland we saw a surge of nationalism. >>> the pro independent scottish national party has increased its number of seats from six to more than 55. >> it's historic. you know the political ferment has shifted. >>> many people in the uk said election results are surprising. immediate kwa predicted no party would be able to secure a majority. >>> leaders of saudi arabia say they are prepared to introduce a humanitarian cease-fire in yemen. they say the five day truce would allow workers to reach civilians in need of aid. a saudi led coalition of arab countries launched air strikes against rebels six weeks ago. violence in the region has killed around 1400 p

yeah, the scottish national party just cleared the house last night.and holds in the uk parliament. and that could have very practical consequences for this. this is the delivery system for the uk's nuclear arsenal. this is one of britain's advanced submarines that can be used to launch a nuclear warhead. the british nuclear arsenal is completely submarine-based, and those submarines are all housed off the coast of scotland. and the newly elected scottish national party campaigned on their complete opposition to the nuclear weapons program in the uk, which just so happens to be based in their backyard in scotland, where they completely control all the parliamentary seats. so what's going to happen to british nuclear weapons now? don't know. but last night's election sort of changes everything with regard to the politics of that. and it took them only 38 days from start to finish to do it. it's inspirational. watch this space. why pause a spontaneous moment to take a pill? or stop to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use, is approved to treat both erect

national. yet he had high hopes when he joined the party back in 2011. portheaults were most impressed by marine le pen, the leader of the front national and the daughter of the party's founder, jean-marie le pen. they felt that marine was taking the party in a new direction, away from the right-wing course pursued by her father. she made a name for herself by "de-demonizing" the party. thierry portheault: it might sound laughable to some, but marine le pen reminded me a bit of nelson mandela. in her speeches she said that she wanted to unite french citizens, regardless of their background. i think that our society is very divided, and that bothers me. reporter: thierry and his wife nadia joined the party. and not only that, they also offered to be candidates for the front national in their village of saint-alban, near toulouse. supporters of the party's new direction, they quickly distanced themselves from the politics of jean-marie le pen, who had been repeatedly found guilty of holocaust denial. jean-marie le pen: vive la france. damian: jean-marie le

. >> we are not going to do a deal with the scottish national party. let me say this to you.eant we weren't going to be in government, not doing a coalition, then so be it. i'm not going to sacrifice the future of our country. i'm not going to give into snp the man's. i want to repeat this point. i'm not going to have a labor government if it means deals are coalition with the scottish national party. jonathan: at this crucial point in the campaign when no one can afford any missteps, there was literally one from ed miliband as he left the stage. there he goes. joining us for moore is guy johnson and james bevan. guy johnson highlight of the debate? jonathan: -- guy: two things. one of which is the little trip. maybe not the moment we were waiting for in this election but i think people will pick up on it. i don't know why. it is silly. i don't worry about it too much. it is the studio floor. things happen. jonathan: not quite that gordon brown microphone. guy: it isn't. the other thing was, ed miliband had a fairly hard time on the previous administration, his previous admin
