democrat i believe that most of the big decision should be taken by an elected parliament in the united kingdom and as many decisions as possible should be dedicated to individuals farmers and lower levels of government within the united kingdom so i am skeptical about the need and purpose of a lot of european government at the measure nine level if something requires global agreement more than the our systems for global treaties and global agreement global government if something needs national government we have the institutions it's quite difficult i think identifying those things that really require a european level of government as well the debt crisis and resulting unrest that we're seeing in the eurozone at the moment do you think that's a precursor to a total collapse of the what they use countries in western europe that wish to create a bigger country called europe are obviously right to try and create a single currency as well as other single governing institutions my country doesn't want to do that it is very clearly not the view of the british people that they wish to belong to a eu

well i hope we won't have big demonstrations the united kingdom i think the media and political presentation of our public spending is a bit bizarre. and i made a mistake reading the figures which no one else seems to bother to do and what the coalition government is proposing. is an increase of fifteen percent or ninety billion a year over the five year period that they expect to be in government now it's not hugely generous but it's growth in the amount of money being spent so if the public sector in britain manages its affairs intelligently and well there is no need to cut any public service that matters in the united kingdom and that is one of the advantages of having our own currency of course because what we decided to do under the last government was to devalue the currency quite sharply which of course hit british living standards but also made british business a bit more competitive and that was something that we were free to do which greece and portugal and spain weren't free to do so part of the europe of course we're not part of the same but we do have a close relationship with y

so what's the solution while many say the united states should look at the united kingdom that's proposed to cut its military spending by one fifth while some americans believe now is not a good time to decrease funding for social programs some say the u.s. is enormous military budget of five hundred thirty three billion dollars is the only logical place to make a cut but others say even though it might be a good idea it's not going to happen anytime soon the problem is that because our politics are corporate owned in the united states going to the defense budget which is mostly outsourced to defense contractors and saying we're going to cut into that is just not going to happen preassure either r. t. washington d.c. . next what we ask is that you are on the brink of collapse and should the strong countries of the eurozone ditch the weak. puts these other questions to well known british and john redwood just ahead. today i'm talking to the right honorable john edwards he's a member of parliament and also of the conservative policy group on economic competitiveness he was also someone who

in the letter of agreement from the united kingdom and the u.s. ng permanent representative to the united nations, formerly approved by the security council resolution 1192, it states quote, for the purpose of the trial we shall not seek their transfer to any jurisdiction other than the scottish court sitting in the netherlands and it felt guilty for two accused will serve their sentence and the united kingdom. the language of the agreement could not eat any clearer. they would serve their sentence and the united kingdom. we are a nation founded on the rule of law and then the rule of law or notion of justice is turned on its head for whatever reason, we believe it is our obligation to turn it back again. it is our obligation to ask hard questions, to demand answers and to get the truth no matter where it leads or who might be inconvenienced by it or could the fact is that the scottish government claims to have released estero megrahi from prison because he was dying of prostate cancer and had just three months to live. they offered him compassiona

it is also my understanding as you've noted that the united kingdom, the government in london retainsesponsibility. i can speculate about whether the united kingdom could have closed the border or somehow prevented megrahi's physical return to libya had they chosen to do so at a time, but the government in london than u.k. government said this is a decision that rests with the scottish authorities. we will respect and observe their decision. >> mr. swartz, did the justice department notice of scotland act of 1998? >> mr. chairman, i, too, but have to say that the complexities of the dilution are ones we are not perhaps expert to comment on, but would note in addition to the investor's pnt of course this prisoner transfer agreement which was the impetus for the first consideration of the transfer was of course negotiated by the united kingdom under its authorities foreign policy authorities and the decision as the investor pointed out, compassionate release was under devolution one for the scottish minister to make and the first instance but again, one that we believed would involve th

when i say i am prime minister of the united kingdom, i really mean it. nd, scotland, wales, northern ireland -- we're weaker apart, stronger together, so together is the way we must always stay. but there is another side to life as prime minister. like being made to watch the england football team lose, 4- 1to germany, in the company of the german chancellor. it's a form of punishment i wouldn't wish on anyone. i have to say, she is one of the politest people i have ever met, every time their players scored another goal, she would turn to me and say, 'i really am terribly sorry.' it's brought a whole new element to anglo-german diplomatic relations, whatever you do, don't mention the score. but however different life has got as prime minister, there's one thing that for me has stayed the same. my belief about how this country needs to change. let's start by being honest with ourselves. the mess this country is in -- it's not all because of labor. of course, they must take some of the blame. all right -- they need to take a lot of the blame. let me just ge

to give more and more power to the european union they are the closest to a federalist party the united kingdom house so i think david cameron just accepted that he's rather restrained in the t. he cannot go in and demand lots of powers back from brussels because his coalition partners were never there so in terms of that it's rather not quite merit. no coalition is perfect from the point here that the individuals in it at least this coalition is being honest about its disagreements and i think that's quite healthy sometimes you have disagreements within paul to some that suppressed all the public knows that going on i think it's something quite healthy about being out so i don't

the risk of a double-dip recession because of global fear and crisis and he was talking about the united kingdom it is a very simple question for the prime minister. who is right? the justice secretary or is he putting his foot in it? is he saying is he -- [talking over each other] is the same injustice secretary was wrong to say there is no risk of a double-dip recession in the u.k.? the leader of the opposition was asked the question. but he has got to ask a complete question which should include the complete quote. by one time for back ventures especially on the automakers. >> the prime minister knows as well as i do that there are risks in the global economy including for the united kingdom. the chief secretary revealed yesterday that half a million jobs would be lost as a result of the chancellor's announcement today. what people in fear of losing their jobs will want to know are what the consequences of the spending will be for them. they will think the spending review will be a failure leading to rising unemployment. will prime minister agree that it will be a favor if unemployment will r
