by the way, that is prime minister david cameron with his wife samantha. he told some people when he walked out into the crowd yesterday that he was 14 years old, and he actually camped out to watch charles marry diana. so now he must have to pinch himself. he's the prime minister, walking in to westminster abbey for this very regal affair. and he's slightly controversial, is he not, david? >> david cameron -- >> well, he -- >> go ahead. >> hold on two seconds, you guys. i'm sorry we're just getting our wires crossed a bit. i was saying to david starkey because of the austerity program he's slightly controversial. >> he is. but what caused more controversy was whether he should wear morning dress. that's what people get excited about at weddings. he's shown good manners. rachel, i was saying that this couple, william and kate, really represent a new generation, and young people in great britain must be very the royal family now looks like them. >> it is. i mean, just as david and samantha were a new generation of politicians, a new political family, a dyna

cameron for at least starting that debate the difficulty david cameron has got is he will now have raised expectations within this country but he has a prime minister is actually logical talk a little bit he's going to walk the war he's going to deliver on the point that i'm making is he cannot do that because we're members of the you because we have open borders we have total free movement of peoples within that union now since two thousand and four since poland lithuania latvia and now bulgaria and romania join the union they are very much poorer countries most of them learn english as their first foreign language and we've had a huge number of people from those countries the united kingdom is the most overcrowded country in the whole of the european union you have to travel on the london underground to realise just how overcrowded we've become and the argument that i would put to mr cameron is yes let's have this debate but let's not have the e.u. having open borders and free movement of peoples why don't we in britain decide ourselves how many people come in every year. from like then

leading liberal democrat vince cable has criticized tory prime minister david cameron over a speech in which the coming year cut integration down to tens of thousands cameron said that some immigrants failure to learn english was quote wrecking communities now it comes as member states in the e.u. are locked in a battle over the deluge of north african migrants seeking refuge in europe that's now of course live to london and speak to nigel farage a leader of the u.k. independence party so david cameron has been accused of stirring up extremism by a senior cabinet colleague over some of his immigration plans do you think it's remarkable too strong well look the first thing to say is i'm delighted that the british prime minister has actually stated the obvious which is that if you have huge mass immigration that happens rapidly into an area and if people don't speak the same language then what you get is the ghettoization in cities and towns and you get a dislocated society and so no i mean full marks to david cameron for at least starting that debate now vince cable is a bit of an old d

cameron for at least starting that debate but difficulty david cameron has got is he will now have raised expectations within this country but he has a prime minister is actually not just going to talk the talk but he's going to walk the ward he's going to deliver and the point that i'm making is he cannot do that because we're members of the you because we have open borders we have total free movement of peoples within that union now since two thousand and four since poland lithuania latvia and now bulgaria and romania and join the union they are very much poorer countries and we have a huge number of people from those countries and the argument that i would put to mr cameron is yes let's have this debate but let's not have the you having open borders and free movement of peoples why don't we in britain decide ourselves how many people come in every year. the new world order is in the making at the forefront the world's premier developing economies these five countries the brics met in china this week to talk business and push forward their vision for the future not easily make a lot of

david cameron must have got most things right when he was a student at oxford. he ended up with a first-class degree. he got low marks for saying that today. >> only one black person went to oxford last year. the that is disgraceful. >> what he should have said is only one student from a black caribbean background got in that year, joining 40 others from all black background. that is a tiny proportion of an overall intake of 3000 students. when lewis became the first black president of the oxford student union, he was one of two black students at his college and said others should not [unintelligible] >> if you care a lot of subject -- a lot about a subject you should study there. >> the fact that there is such a tiny number of black students is disgraceful, he said but the university said it does not start when it comes to people's filling in their entry forms. only 71 students from black caribbean backgrounds in the country got the kind of grades that schools and university demands. >> it is important to emphasize the reason why too few students from nontradit

i think that david cameron thought this was going to be an easy war for him to strut around on the world stage and show his message to leaders and i think what he's learned over the past few weeks is that war is never a simple matter it's extremely difficult to predict what is going to happen on the ground and actually what might politically seem to see one week can very soon turn round and. it's very interesting to hear what you have to say we really appreciate your time joining us live there in london thank you u.k.i.p. for the labor party barry gardner joining us here on r.t. a pleasure. shakeup of the global monetary system is what the world's fastest growing economies of called for at their annual meeting i'd like just mention that group brazil russia india china and south africa it's the so-called brics nations also slammed laitos operation in conflict on libya well arty's to syria is that the chinese resort of sandia where the summit is taking place. they really want to see change in the international financial model existing right now that will benefit developing countries more p

cameron and i'm an m.e.p. and deputy leader of the u.k. independence party good to talk to you here on r.t. thanks for joining us. well there are a few gifts for the young graduates in post-crisis greece the government is so deep in the red it's being forced to restructure the whole country not just its debt the consequence is a drain of the nation's best brains heading abroad to find a future. there was a time when think reason philosophers flocked to greece that however is ancient history to graduation day i think when i think of us that in athens an exciting day for most of the students of course but the irony of the situation is that most of them will not be able to find a job in their home country that's a worrying trend brought about by the world's financial crisis which has lived deep scars on the greek economy. will grow. migrate abroad from. other stories has two master's degrees in political science and history and an unfinished ph d. but his education seems to have a little here in greece. of some c

tonight, inside this historic residence, a conversation with prime minister david cameron about libya, the british economy, and, of course, the royal wedding. >> it's like the team of the future, and an excuse for a bit of a party and some fun at the same time. >> couric: and the lady at the center of this fairy tale romance and how it began, once upon a time. captioning sponsored by cbs >> this is the "cbs evening news" with katie couric reporting tonight from london. >> couric: good evening, everyone. it was an extraordinary moment. president obama went on national television today and did what no other president has ever even been asked to do: prove he's a natural born u.s. citizen, a requirement for holding that office. calling the birther issue a distraction, the president released a copy of his long-form birth certificate, showing he was born in hawaii, as he's always said. the short form, which has been out there for a while, had not satisfied some obama critics. but there is nothing in the long-form certificate about the president and his parents that we didn't already know. c

. >> tonight, prime minister's questions with prime minister david cameron. after that, the road to the white house coverage starts with mitt romney at the winter meeting of the republican jewish coalition. >> this week, stephen goldsmith, currently the deputy mayor of new york city. during the 1990's, he was the mayor of indianapolis. >> stephen goldsmith, how would you describe the difference between being mayor of indianapolis for two terms and being deputy mayor of new york city? >> a lot of differences. the only difference that is not insignificant now, i am an agent and no longer the principal. there is a difference in scale and complexity. to some extent, indianapolis is the 12th largest city in the country. many urban problems are common from place to place, particularly in tough financial times. it is fun and challenging. it is similar in a lot of ways as well. >> when did you decide to do this job and why? >> i am not sure exactly when. i was teaching at harvard, running and innovation center and doing a little consulting in cities around the countr

but david cameron was only rescued from a minority government with a deal of his own sharing power with a party that has put third it's a coalition which an angry electorate sees breaking promises and which listens to washington more than westminster protesters politicians are so committed to to be strong it's simply fantasy of the of the special relationship with washington that they're prepared to to every is necessary to maintain that relationship while bearing you know having no concern for their relationship with the people who elected them in the first place and this is a this is a dysfunction a deep deep dysfunction of the heart of the british so-called democracy that the past six months have seen a series of demonstrations in london and across the u.k. which culminated and hundreds of thousands of people gathering on saturday to protest against cuts to public spending and the war in libya some of those protesters have marched right down this road past the front door of their democracy to say it's not working you're emmet r.t. london. of japan is dumping more than ten thousand to

cameron when he went to egypt after the revolution it was his friends from be a e systems this war is costing britain five million pounds per day it's costing the british taxpayer five million pounds per day now all of that money is going to be a systems in terms that every weapon that britain uses will of course have to be replaced so in the terms of britain having that role that's what that's about also in terms of it being within their interest for it to be destabilized is if you have a imperial presence in libya and also you know it's really are involved in this as well and you know you can just ask the libyans about the history of its early in the region the french are involved we can argue about jury and about the history of the french in the region we can honestly egyptians about the history of the british the libyans also know about the british they used to have a military base there but in terms of keeping. avoiding the possibility of there being three. countries that have genuine revolutions genuine upraising and then being able to unite i think that is something which the i

cameron and others that this could not be about regime change this was about humanitarian protection while that is clearly no longer the case and this that is clear you no longer the case then britain should not be involved in the original reason that was given for britain. was simply to stop those airstrikes on benghazi and indeed regionally this was marketed to the public and to the world at large as being simply the enforcement of a no fly zone that is not what is now happening and indeed it isn't what's been happening really from that first we called once an operation is reportedly hiring private contractors to protect big corporations in the event of could i think departure but the experience of a previous interventions shows that mercenaries can become gold diggers and volatile areas just like it. homeless and displaced people disrupted water electricity supplies decimated infrastructure to the world tragic scenes of the destruction of lives but to britain's large private security sector a gold mine in two thousand and nine the u.k.'s ministry of defense spent eighty two millio

cameron cameron which was addressed to the in which they really are steps that god's nature is going to stay in they be as long as it takes until gadhafi steps down the same saying same day eight air strikes hit the country's capital tripoli and according to reports from libya there have been a number of civilian casualties now russia and china initially did not sort of vote against the u.n. security council resolution. no fly zone over libya but now that what used to be a mission to protect civilians in libya looks like is turning into a bloody massacre according to some experts in russia that other interpretation of the u.n. security council resolution. has been very loose by one set of u.n. resolutions petersfield in accordance with the wording and amazing and not with free interpretations of some states because we voted for a new fly using just the escalation of the conflict so that we could separate the two sides but we're having now is a military operation it may not be on the ground yet but it's certainly going on. number of countries who are taking part and the nature stepped

them last week president obama and sarkozy and british prime minister david cameron wrote an op ed once again saying that this will not end until gadhafi is out but let's be clear here the military mission the u.n. resolution that was passed does not have that in its wording and to the file back to the u.s. defense secretary robert gates has very begrudgingly complied with obama's orders while he officially stated that the mission is simply to protect libyan civilians but now the u.s. is providing material aid and france and italy have joined forces with britain to train of the rebels who by the way might be tied to al qaeda well as the war continues to expand the question really is what should nato do about it air strikes of expanded loyalist forces continue to be strong and the u.s. seems to remain stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to what they actually need to be doing there this mass is getting out of control and i think that a clear statement from obama as to what our role in libya is is in order. well it's so much more to come on tonight's show after being abused

we have a situation where barack obama and david cameron are supporting that. as far as israel is concerned, it is truly that generally speaking western european governments, the western union, is not as closely and automatically supportive of the state of israel as the united states has tended to be. that said, that there is absolutely firm support for israel as an independent, democratic state in the middle east, and i do not think there is a question of that changing. again, a bit similar to the united states, it is not something that tends to be a very strong party political issue, that there are elements of the right who are extremely critical of the jewish state's as they see it, but there are also elements on the left who are extremely supportive of the palestinian cause, but within that, there is a general consensus that the hope is that israel persists and

david cameron said he would block brown as the imf job if he it was vacant. a very personalized. he didn't do this to jim callahan. if you don't like the government you replace. >> you say prince william is listening to cameron/ >> 1900 people came. this is a geopolitical state occassion. the government is up to its ears. >> where did the guest list come from? >> this is from the palace, with advice from the government. i would like to think that there were not invited was because it took us into an illegal war in iraq. but this is probably not the case. >> what is the reason? >> we have a story -- i cannot take it beyond that. >> and what are the personal aspects of this? going to the death -- >> this is more probable than the iraq war? this is more serious. >> i could say that this could be construed as something, there are likely allusions made to him in the book. >> i suppose this is possible, if there is something there -- i suppose that this is conceivable. >> there was the this inviting of the ambassador. they would signal this if they were disinvited, and this is a shame

british prime minister david cameron urged the libyan leader's entourage to follow suit. >> it's a decision by someone right at the very top and it tells a compelling story of the desperation and the fear right at the heart of the crumbling and rotten gadhafi regime. >> koussa is a long-term aide to gadhafi. he arrived in britain on wednesday and informed the british government that he was resigning from his post. in a news conference in tripoli, libyan government spokesman musa ebra ham confirmed moussa had resigned but played down the impact saying it was koussa's personal decision. the commander of nato's libya operations announced on thursday that nato has assumed full command of international military operations over libya. the transfer of authority was strongly requested by the united states and britain which had led the allied operation. nato is dispatching more than 200 military aircraft and 20 vessels to take part in the operation. >>> and welcome back to your weather update. we're taking a look at conditions across japan. and we will be talking about a lot of sunshine this morning

both presidents are cozy and david cameron have agreed that there has to be an intensifying of military actions against colonel gaddafi's forces. mike the libyan leader be convinced that there is no way out? signs of strain were evident at a meeting of the international contact group on libya. there was agreement, but the libyan leader had to go. the german said that there was no military solution to the libyan crisis. other nations began pushing for the libyans to be given weapons. france has taken the lead role in the campaign. supporting countries remain strong. questions are being raised in france, too. what will bring this operation to an aunt? a stalemate might lead to an unacceptable compromise. >> they are worried that another country like turkey can come in and say that i have a solution. there is a stalemate. i have a solution that would bring a permanent ceasefire on the ground. >> british and france airstrikes are not bringing out the armor. 30% of gaddafi's forces may have been destroyed. the french and the british want them to do more. here is the dilemma. with the america

prime minister david cameron, elton john, the beckhams and an eye catching display of hats. the dress designed by alexander mcqueen. the gown has a low v neck line, long sleeves, a train of more than two yards. over her veil a tiara loaned by the queen. at the altar, the prince wearing the scarlet tunic of an irish guard mounted officers uniform tells his bride you look beautiful. before they exchanged vows inside the abbey. >> i william arthur philip louis take thee katherine elizabeth. >> reporter: then with the middle tons, prince charles and camilla and family and friends bearing witness, the couple who dated for eight years made it official. and then the now duke and duchess of cambridge emerged from the abbey to cheers in a century old landow carriage that carried the prince's parents nearly 30 years ago, the couple headed to buckingham palace, wedding guests in awe. >> so i happened to work for prince william he's my boss and they are very close. you can see that personal touch on several occasion, the smiles they were interchanging, you know, you got a sense of how i

barack obama, david cameron, and president sarkozy have issued a joint declaration that military action in libya will continue until colonel gaddafi is gone. in a letter being published in three newspapers, the leaders say a future with gaddafi in charge would be a betrayal of the people. as foreign ministers debated how to boost the military effort, nato aircraft attacked the libyan capital. our middle east editor reports from tripoli. >> first came the sound of military jets. earlier this week, tripoli didn't feel like a city at war. from the roof where we do live broadcasting, it was clear that was changing. there were bursts of anti-aircraft fire, and then around five miles away, the nato planes hit their target. it all happened while nato was meeting in berlin, promising what it called a high operational tempo. about an hour later, the libyans took journalists to the scene of attack. the bus stopped at a cafe on a university campus. the windows had been blown out and the doors. witnesses said up to 10 people had been wounded by flying glass. there was a military base about 500 yard

tavis: you got an exclusive with david cameron? >> yeah, i'm excited about that. i've interviewed tony blair on a couple of occasions and gordon brown as well and now i'll be interviewing the new prime minister. it is very interesting. he has done a lot of fairly controversial things dealing with the economy in great britain. i'm looking forward to doing that. i'll be doing it at downing street. that will be fun. it is a big event. big events are fun and goodness knows we could use a little happy news given the kind of year we have had had with tucson, egypt, libya and japan. you know, some people may think it is frivolous, but it is historic and sort of -- it is such a visual kind of spectacle, i think it will be fun to preside over it in my own little way. tavis: what is not trite or simple, you're interviewing the husband of gabby giffords? >> yeah, i did that already. did that last week in houston, prior to his launch on friday. i have to tell you, i'm so impressed by him. he is so incredibly, you know when somebody just emanates goodness? he is so incredibly

the prime minister, david cameron invited 30 years after camping out as a teenager to catch a glimpse of charles and diana. david beckham and his wife victoria. elton john, who famously sang at diana's memorial. while at the goring hotel, that first glimpse. immediately revealing so much. >> you could tell that she just looked absolutely stunning. the dress was just beautiful. and of course it had been the best kept secret of the wedding. >> reporter: that seven-minute drive with her beaming father. her final moments as kate the commoner. as they arrived at the church, her father told her, "you look great." then, her three-minute walk, 300 feet down that aisle. the world watching. and so was prince harry. >> prince harry just couldn't resist a cheeky glimpse. he's very mischievous like that. you could see him turning to william and saying, "she looks stunning." and while prince william was waiting, a signal of nerves, reminiscent of his mother. duncan larcombe was in the abbey. >> i just spotted him biting his lip, which was classic, classic diana. princess diana was there. >> reporte

prime minister david cameron led a junkets to the middle east to flaunt the wares of british arms dealers i can't imagine who was in the prime minister's office and said to him look you can organize dictators. for decades they've spent most of the weaponry shooting up their own population that was a really good time to go and try and sell them some. some more i can't imagine what damage. people say. the people who are integrating. protesters at the moment reports also say the government misjudged the risk of selling on's to countries like egypt and bahrain but many would go much further one of the things that you've seen is a characteristic of british aid around the last ten years has been the provision of this highly militarized security sector so exactly the opposite of that of trying to stimulate we are providing the means by which those countries regimes can come down democracy since the violence began more than a thousand people have been killed in libya and twenty six killed and a thousand injured in bahrain so stansell evidence gathered by reports also suggests much of that damage

prime minister david cameron led a junkets to the middle east to flaunt the wares of british arms dealers reports also say the government misjudged the risk of selling arms to countries like egypt and bahrain but many would go much further one of the things that you've seen is a characteristic of british aid around the world over the last ten years has been the provision of this highly militarized security sector so exactly the opposite of trying to stimulate similar see we are providing the means by which those countries regimes can come down democracy since the violence began more than a thousand people have been killed in libya and dozens killed and a thousand injured in bahrain circumstantial evidence guy. i reports also suggests much of the damage was done with british weapons be on rest started it least the government scrambled to suspend export licenses but this report is evidence that it plays the stable. to the fullest in both states when british weapons were probably already being used against civilians in bahrain and libya the government still hasn't ruled out oh make the rebel

. >> you mentioned the austerity program of david cameron's government in great britain. and that the economic consequences have been more severe than he had had hoped for f not expected. so what does that say? does that say anything about austerity other than it's a pretty tough medicine when you take it? >> i think the historical record on austerity is really clear. when are you coming out of crises, it is a terrible idea. i mean that is the lesson of hoover, and of roose investment. i think it is the lesson of britain today. i think it is the lesson of various countries trying to emerge from the great depression. when you saw that ones that tried austerity, remaining on the gold standard, they struggled to come out of the depression much more than countries that didn't. the problem is that the political appeal of austerity in the wake of a bubble is so strong, right. i mean you think what did we do too much of. we did too much consuming, too much borrowing. what should we do less of, we should do less consuming and less borrowing but it really isn't the way you want to

as far as the operation of the resolution is concerned already last week we saw a piece coming from david cameron from president sarkozy and president obama which appeared to speak and for tom and the one hundred percent we're not in there for regime change and the other hand we're not giving up until we get regime change no you can't say contradictory rationales in terms of an operation of this sort of nature you can't say that you're going on under strict terms that will commit to growing troops and you end up getting stopped committing troops in various forms guises after so many much adventures including iraq and elsewhere people want to know that there isn't going to be mission creep here that we have people going on on one promise on one pretext but then ready to expand the mission into all sorts of other operations and so i think we need the u.n. security council to look afresh because after all as a resolution of the security council all the actions taken on to this resolution are meant to be reported to the security council to let an assessment be made at that level. where the de

prime minister david cameron later junkets to the middle east to flaunt the wares of british arms dealers reports also say the government misjudged the risk of selling arms to countries like egypt and bahrain but many would go much further one of the things that you've seen this occur it's a risk because british aid around the world over the last ten years has been the provision of this highly militarized security sexes exactly the opposite approach of trying to stimulate some perceived we are providing the means by which those countries regimes can come tell them democracy when we underestimate started it a bit least the government scrambled to suspend arms export licenses but this report is evidence that it clears the stable door long enough to the force of both states which is weapons will probably already being used against civilians in bahrain and libya the government still hasn't ruled out arming the rebels in libya it remains to be seen whether these downing revelations will make them think twice the pressure on western governments to arm the rebels is growing with colonel gadhafi

whether or not david cameron is going to be doing the same now -- >> hopefully not. >> we know these are long, long occasions. >> apparently the music we're listening to are aria royal air force trumpers playing a new piece called "valiant and brave" a tribute to william and his military service. >> absolutely. the other thing that they'll be doing when they're signing the register is they will have a hairdresser, probably the dress designer, and someone to touch up the makeup. >> oh, really? >> they will all be -- >> very practical details. >> we need that in the chapel of edward the confessor. >> but it's extraordinary. you're surrounded with all the great medieval kings there. as he signs the register. >> and as you said, this is where charles' coronation will take place. eventually. >> and then william's. the queen is looking at where she was crowned. the monarchy is about the succession of generations. >> and it's so much about ritual. >> ritual and image. and this is the heart of english ritual. it happens here for thousands of years. ♪ >> this is not the words and the music
