we do a lot to support different languages across the united kingdom. they have been successful and i looked at what the last prime minister said when he asked this question. i will arrange a meeting for and with the department of education to see how we can take this forward. >> my question for the prime minister concerns the contract is of great concern. with 20,000 manufacturing jobs at risk, can the prime minister confirm that no contract has been signed? and no contract can be signed until the funding package itself is determined? this is the heart of the question. given bad -- given that the funding package -- given that the 20,000 jobs or at risk, [unintelligible] >> what i would say -- i know he cares deeply about this issue. it is a great company and it has a great future in our country and we want to see it succeed. in this case, the procurement process was initiated by the previous government. we were bound by the criteria that they said and we have to continue with the decision that has been made according to that criteria. we are looking at

there are thousands of undocumented citizens of the united kingdom in america, and the united kingdom government has no interest. i would urge you to press that. there are bilateral trade agreements and millions of people working. press the slew. one final point, i would challenge the bill. at would price do we have comprehensive immigration reform. i would ask the question at what price can we not have it? >> so you would give them all the bad stuff just to get the good things? >> no, i wouldn't. but i'm reminded of what voltere said, which is let not the perfect be the enemy of the good. by holding out for the perfect, there are 12 million in a bad way in this country. >> what is the difference between imperfect and the atrocious. >> i would ask you to not let the perfect outway the we. thank you for having this commission tonight. someone once said that what leads evil to triumph over good is that good men do nothing. i think you for doing something good and not letting the evil win by sitting down and doing nothing. thank you. >> thank you. i will probably get in trouble for letti

who is attacking the united kingdom some have got the very strange idea that because there's terrorists in the world we need to have nuclear weapons can they use nuclear weapons against terrorists but it would that not be rather like shooting musky just with chemicals i think the british would make a much bigger splash in the history of the world if the decided that they let the program expires. we are still fighting the poing war between britain and france because when i finally corner any senior british military man these days and ask him why do you need nuclear weapons they say every time it's nothing to do with security it's nothing to do with the russians it's to do with the french we cannot allow france to be the only european nuclear power. and there is this fear that britain will become like disneyland if they're going to be free they will be. of no consequence in the world . even though i do this when i constantly get overwhelmed i mean a discussion that we are having talking about the realities here and three sometimes i just want i just i've had enough. and. at the same time

because he didn't believe he would ever have to actually fight the united kingdom.y the end of the war there were 463, most of them bottled up in the atlantic. but if he had started with as many as he finished with, he would have been able to strangle the united king kingdom. and when one looks at the plans to invade the united kingdom, many of which weren't agreed up until september 1940 when really they ought to have been put in place as soon as he came to power in january 1933, one appreciates how little he was expected to have to attack. there is the infamous list of 2,820 brick britons who were going to be shot on sight or at least when they were arrested by is the ss when the germans successfully invaded. in that list you will see sigmund freud who died in 1938, you'd see august huxley who had come to live in america in 1936, um, and there were many other schoolboy howler of that kind. indeed, when rebecca west and earl coward found out they were on the list, rebecca sent a telegram saying, my dear, the people we should have been seen dead with. [laughter] on

pretend that it needs nuclear weapons for its survival or its security and who is attacking the united kingdom some have got the very strange idea that because there is terrorists in the world we need to have nuclear weapons can be used nuclear weapons against terrorists but it would that not be rather like shooting musk eaters with cannons i think the british would make a much bigger splash in the history of the world if they decided that they let the program expire we are still fighting the pollie war between britain and france because when i finally cornered. any senior british military man these days and asked why do you need nuclear weapons they say every time it's nothing to do with security it's nothing to do with the russians it's due to the fridge we cannot allow france to be the only european clipper. and there is this fear that britain will become like resilient if they can you free they will be of no consequence in the world. even though i do this work i constantly get overwhelmed i mean that discussion that we were having talking about the reality of needs here we're concerned thr

you also need to have separation between the judiciary and those two areas in britain and the united kingdom they've become too close over the last thirteen or fourteen years and i believe that last month no ordinary people in britain their views have nor really been represented by their in the newspapers or in the political arena that's bad for democracy so david cameron should start investigating himself as far as i'm concerned six trimly embarrassing for him because the former editor of the news of the world andy colson of course became his press secretary i warned would your employer a man who's already had to resign over phone hacking why would you take him to the heart of government where he could have access to top secret dossier as an information it's a sorry sorry day let me tell you not just for the british press but for british democracy. now you can have your say on that story on our website dot com in our latest poll today it we're asking. the news of the world the right decision more than greed that rupert murdoch's media dominance should be finished eighteen percent also say y

saying that when it came to visa free travel within the bridge between russia and the united kingdom that the lead for. several years ago wasn't a deciding factor no alexander litvinenko a security officer from the pro-forma security office and russia was killed in the n.t. thousand and six. in britain no he said that although some of his british partners may think that this was a a deciding factor in far as the russian side goes this wasn't anything to do with us when it came to these a free travel between the two countries and in what was essentially a triple header from the foreign minister he also brought up the fact that if a united states has proposed missile shield missile shield in eastern europe if russia was to be involved in the us then russia wouldn't be against it so three key statements from the foreign minister right there. all right peter thanks very much for bringing us this update that all are there. still have for us our why seeing the light could be deadly for air travelers. an. ally now arriving from work dazzled by paul paul green light that they are prompted by

investigations into the phone how can coast is rocking the united kingdom are growing by the day with ever more questions being asked of key figures in political media and police circles and as the scandal intensifies his impact threatens careers across the board next artie's lauren that reports on how the case continues to haunt not just rupert murdoch but the u.k. prime minister david cameron as well. but i was humbled. i'm enjoying this so. some major pins in the news hacking scandal may be well played but at the moment they're still standing despite pull off to school threatening to smash them out of the game. in the brain british prime minister david cameron that murdoch's chiefs of global news empire news corp also implicated the police accused of taking where will the next strike come in the phone hacking scandal and who led up the biggest turkey. there's been a large amount of fingers and just a lot of heads in the sand. and he's now in a real fight in a real really bad situation he could well be looking at some serious consequences for himself at the very least still around h

we did have a far more aggressive press in the united kingdom. it's also a press that is far less deferential towards politicians. i would describe the british press as probably the freest on the face of the earth. it would be very unfortunate, i think, if the wake of this news of the world scandal that we see a whole new wave of regulation coming in limiting the freedom of the british press. >> bill: if money is changing hands and people are being bought and scotland yard booted the investigation as it looks like they did, and influence was pedaled all over the place and laws were broken, don't you think there should be some more oversight over there? >>. no i think we have rules in place in the united kingdom to deal with illegal activity by journalists. we have seen a whole array of journalists being accepted. several police officers are bribed in the scandal. we could see the resignation of some senior government figures. there is real accountability in place. we don't need new regulations which will end up making the british press like the f

you also need to have separation between the judiciary and those two areas in britain and the united kingdom they've become too close over the last thirteen or fourteen years and i believe that last may not all unary people in britain their views have not really be represented either in the newspapers or in the political arena that's bad for democracy so david cameron should start investigating himself that's far as i'm concerned how would your employer a man who's already had to resign over the phone hacking allegations why would you take into the heart of government where he could have access to top secret dossier as an information it's a sorry sorry very let me tell you not just for the british press but for british democracy and as you say john a lot of questions still unanswered tonight as the reality goes on your going for the radio host on the side website talking to us from birmingham thank you thank you. the masses final shuttle flights blasted off for the two million spectators witnessing the historic launch it is the one hundred fifth one hundred thirty fifth mission on the thirty
