rob watson is live for us in central london. t tell us how all this emerged. >> well, it emerged through a german news magazine where essentially you've had the chancellor, the german chancellor saying something through sources that we hadn't heard before, and that is basically germany contemplating the idea that britain could leave the european union, because i think it's worth rowing back to first principles, both germany wants britain to stay in the european union and david cameron leading the british government wants to stay in the european union. but there is a negotiation that's about to start over, well, what part of the eu's arrangements could you unpick, and essentially what you've now got as the german chancellor laying down a red line, making things extremely difficult for david cameron. >> and i suppose the impact that this has had underlines the importance of the issues of immigration and the european union as we approach an election in may. >> absolutely. the intervention from germany has very much raised the politi

cameron's speech, how it will go down inside the uk and the rest of the european union, i'm joined by rob watson, our political correspondent and jenny hill, our correspondent in berlin. rob, let me start with you, if i may. he's trying to tread a very delicate path here, mr. cameron. do you think he succeeded today? >> you're right about the task that he faced, and certainly i think perhaps in some ways for some people, it was a surprisingly nuanced speech. this wasn't a speech saying oh, my goodness, all of britain's problems are to do with foreigners, let's get rid of them all and let's not have any more in. this is not some sort of anti-immigrant rant. because he was trying to strike a balance. that's a balance between acknowledging, saying to british voters, look, i get it, i've seen the opinion polls that suggest british people are really worried about the extraordinary levels of migration into this country since the 1990s. on the one hand. but also, that he understood the concerns of business in britain, and britain's partners in europe who don't want to see an isolationist britain. so th

with me is the bbc's uk political correspondent rob watson. a very interesting speech, actually, because it wasn't with a you would call an anti-immigrant rant in any shape or form, but he's talking about the need for control. where does he get that control from? >> you're absolutely right. not an anti-immigrant rant. and of course, we're obliged to just pick out a clip, but what was really striking about the speech was that it was incredibly nuanced. this was david cameron not trying to be a tub-thumping, anti-immigrant. but anyway, he did have to address two very big concerns and that is a vote of concern here about high levels of migration. and he had two choices about how britain might try to address that. you could try and say to the european union, we're not going to have freedom of movement, we want quotas, we want emergency cutoffs. he was advised that was a no-go. so you try to make britain a bit less attractive. so let's say you're a poor worker in southern europe. you tinker with the benefits system here in britain to make it a bit
