or the future of the united kingdom and the european union. in modern politics, you want to trust people and take them with you. you cannot maintain these relationships without public support. i have a strategy when it comes to europe getting the changes that we need and holding a referendum in which i believe written should stay and a reformed european union. i think that's the right answer. where i would disagree is i don't think this strategy is disadvantaging in terms of investment. i see no evidence for that. hondanissan, toyota, moving massively into our car industry. i see chinese businesses investing all across britain. outstrips anything happening in any other european country. yes, of course, referendums create uncertainty because of decision has to be made. i think it is much better to and i clear strategy think britain can be a great success story. more questions? lady here from table three. prime minister, assuming there is a no vote, september 19 we will wake up to a brave new scotland where everyone is going to be getting togeth

. >>> the united kingdom has raised its terrorist threat level to severe. the government says that that means a terrorist attack is highly likely. but there's no intelligence to suggest that an attack is imminent. prime minister, david cameron, explains why. >> with isil, we're facing a terrorist organization not being hosted in a country, but seeking to establish and then violently expand it's own terrorist state. it was designed to expand in jordan and lebanon, right up to the turkish border, we could be facing a terrorist state on the shores of the mediterranean and bordering nato. we can't appease this ideology, but we have to confront it. we need a tough and comprehensive approach to defeat the terrorist threat at its source. >> let's talk about this. the security and counter terrorism specialist, also the founder of corporate protection, joining us, and you heard the press conference given by david can ron, and what did you make of the reasoning behind the increasing terror threat level now? >> prime minister cameron eluded quite specifically to isis

press conference at the bottom of the hour at 11:30 sure to be questions about the fact that united kingdomas raised its threat level to severe. it's the highest level it's been in three years. what effect will that have in the united states? white house press secretary josh earnest should be asked in just a few minutes. gruesome new details coming to light about the isis terror group. we are keeping an eye of what's going on at the white house, we want to focus though on the brutality in isis, including water bordering we're learning now. james foley who was recently beheaded by isis had been water boarded and at least three other hostages were also repeatedly subjected to that tactic, plus reporters from "foreign policy" magazine reveal there was a laptop. recent video shows hundreds of syrian soldiers being executed. they routinely do this and they appear to be attracting some americans to their ranks. not to mention many british citizens as well. i want to bring back paul cruishank, and mark hurtling, this is a group that seems almost proud of its brutality? >> i agree, john, they are p

this is a risk for families and the future across the whole of the rest united kingdom. scotland deserves better than catcalling from the back benches. let me ask this question again. before the financial crisis hits, shouldn't the first minister and they uncertainty by simply telling us what is his ? an b >> the point about fear mongering has been made for me. of course, we should all bow to the labor party's expertise and -- in financial crisis fixing. we will remember, the financial crisis was in analyzed by the former bank of england president who said it was a failure of the labor government to act that made the crisis much worse. financial crisis is not the strongest suit of the labor party. what is certain is that the governor fulfill his responsibility yesterday, seeking to make sure that he was doing his job, doing his responsibility and stopping the instability, which i believe is a deliberate campaign tactic. england investment was led to be deterred, it hasn't happened. just as these tactics have ailed, so have a -- we shall use the pound. that is why we are

. >> part of the united kingdom. >> is this the universe? >> a guarantee for the scottish parliament if it they win the day? >> the scottish parliament has full powers over health and education. we have more powers related to welfare. public service creates jobs. just part of the united kingdom. >> what powers are they transferring to the scottish parliament in order to create more jobs -- jobs? >> i told you. staying part of the united kingdom is the best way of guaranteeing jobs. >> you promised these additions. a powerhouse parliament. >> it is simple. all you have got to offer is what is great for starbucks. and amazon. >> what army? >> part of the united kingdom. >> we won't get there on her own. >> 100,000 children faced with disabilities. they are going to spend $4 billion a year on trident, and he cannot name the powers of the parliament.

very concerned about what could possibly happen if those jihadis decide to return back to the united kingdoml? >> what precautions is the government taking there? >> the moment that is not clear. we're getting this initial information but the fact that the terror level has been raised in this country is an indication that certain precautions, certain security measures across the country need to be taken, need to be heightened and this is the first time that this kind of alert has been raised in the past several years, carol, so officials here in the united kingdom taking this extremely seriously. >> i'll let you get back to reporting. erin mclaughlin, many thanks to you. we'll be right back. hey. i'm ted and this is rudy. say "hi" rudy.

after the second world war period and partly because of a lot of immigrant communities in the united kingdom in contrast to the united states quite a mixing of different ethnic populations have in the u.k. lived together, and have been somewhat isolated, and judged with some prejudice, actually, by the british state. that does foster extremism. it certainly is the main cause here, the interpretation of salafi extremism by preachers, there is no excuse for this keep of activity. but there is a social problem that has to be addressed. i think the british government realizes that it has to be addressed as well. >> what do you think the u.k. raising the threat level today? >> i think what that's about is the branch chiefs are telling the joint terrorism analysis center, which is the body that has decided to raise the alert level, that they simply to not have the confidence that they would wish to have that when these individuals come back to the u.k. they will be able to monitor them, to the degree that they would wish to. so it's a caseload overload if you will. in a sense there are a lot of pe

should scotland vote for independence from the united kingdom? ahead, kevin. >> caller: i do believe that after 500 years it's time to let the scottish people make up their mind and throw off the yoke of england. that would be, it would justify the rights of the people who have been fighting for independence for half a millennia, and i just think this is just a time that's come, and it'll be interesting to see what the scottish people decide for themselves. and i think that, you know, if they can have a vote and have it done peacefully, it just, well, it speaks well for both sides of the issue. and i'll be interested to see what happens. >> host: okay. >> caller: thanks a lot, greta, you're awesome. >> host: all right, kevin. democratic caller in virginia, hi, elizabeth. >> caller: how are you today? >> host: morning. >> caller: i would hope that the united states' population could take this opportunity to, for once, keep out of someone else's business. i think the scottish people have the right to vote for whatever they choose to, and i'm all in

he's a graduate of manchester university and the united kingdom. 's also from the same party as mr. maliki. >> why has it taken the united states so long to be involved at this level in light of the crisis with isis reach this point without any seemingly strategic plan? >> i think the rise of isis has come as a surprise. the rapidity of this rule has taken on areas in syria and iraq as well as enormous natural resources. oil, water, power generation -- this is the result of two developments, one, the situation in syria where they are in opposition and came under increasing influence of war extremist elements and the circumstances became very extreme. >> does this highlight a lack of u.s. policy in regards to syria? >> i think it indicated a rise that was in part a result of lack of u.s. strategy with regard to syria, especially in regards to supporting moderate opposition and a result of total u.s. withdrawal. it became more sectarian and the significant disengagement believing iraq was finished as far as the engagement is concern in those factors c

and katrina, a lectorrer in the united kingdom. michael nyberg, since we're commemorating the beginning of the world war, rather than it's end, did anybody contemplate the possibility for introduction that was emerging in the summer of 1914? >> i don't think so. i think if you could having fast forwarded it to show the leaders of the world they were creating, i don't think that any of them would make the decision to go to wash. they had in enter minds a shorter conflict, hopefully something to be resolved in months, and not putting them in a conflict. the introduction of the four major monarchies in europe. >> professor, were they fighting a 19th century war with 20th century tools? >> . >> well, it may have started out that way, because there had not been a major war in europe for almost a century. you had some individual affairs like the franco prussian war dragged on a bit. but it was over quickly. the crimine war was over refine quickly. and no one had imagined the kind of stale on which it would have been fought. but very quic

there is a real and legitimate in the unite united kingdom and the united states. all of the groups, including the kurdish fighters have been very clear that they do not want there to be western soldiers on the ground in that way, although i would argue that we may need some special forces in some way, shape or form, but that they want the ability to fight this threat themselves. that is what we need to do. we need to ally with the moderate forces in the region and help them defend themselves and fight this threat themselv themselves. >> the u.n. is very clear about the international community responsibility regarding financial aid and logistical support. one wonders if this will work on its own. >> it will not be enough on its own. it's very clear that western intelligence has been taken by surprise on account of the unsafe way the relationship between the iraqi government and western government was left at the end of the obama draw down. there have the intelligence was not coming, and isis was unexpected in this way. i do in the think for a moment that isis is a

richard denard o, and can trina, senior lecturer of history in the united kingdom. >> let's talk abouthow it begun. did anybody contemplate the possibility of destruction that was emerging in the summer of 1914? >> i don't think so. i think if you could have fast forwarded four or five years and shown the leaders of 1914, the war they were creating, i don't think any of them would have made the decision to go to war. the war they had in their minds was shorter conflict that could be resolved in a matter of months, and hopefully put theyer theitheir country in a better situation. the destruction of the monarchs, and the end of the similar that hathat--the end of the system that had been seen for centuries, no one saw that. >> they started with weapons and ended with 21st century tools. >> the prussian war was over quickly. the no one had imagined the kind of scale in which it would be fought. and so very quickly everyone realized that they found themselves in the 20th century war. in 1915 the germans had done a study, and they found out that in the first five months of combat in the wes
