mercenaries may be the only way for the united kingdom military, put together by study. turns out that army chiefs are worried the british public will not be sold on war anymore. they're looking at reinvigorating the warrior spirit. >> how to sell a war to a british public that is not buying. that is the topic of the latest study by the ministry of defense. the acting to what the paper calls a wrong assumption the british people have become risk- averse. in a nutshell, the paper says it is not that people don't want war, it is that they don't understand how it will benefit them. in an effort to explain war better, the think tank made some recommendations. first, make a larger investment into drones. suggesting that if people in foreign countries are killed at arm's-length, it would be better. and small arms contractors, mercenaries, to lessen worries about casualties. third, use more special forces soldiers, because apparently the loss of elite soldiers does not have as much impact on the public because their role is perceived as inherently more risky. fourth, something

the relationship between the united states and the united kingdom has often been described as special, essential and it has been described thusly quite simply because it is. it was before a vote the other day in parliament and it will be for long afterwards after that vote. our bond as william has just said is bigger than one vote, it is bigger than one moment in history. it is about values. it is about rules of the road, rules by which human beings try to organize their societies and offer people maximum freedom and opportunity, respecting rights and finding a balance in a very complicated world. we have no better partner in that effort than great britain. we are grateful for that. our bond really is the paradigm for international cooperation. our work together in global issues will ensure peace, to ensure stability, to create economic activity to help others to share in the value they share to engage in humanitarian initiatives around the world, and sometimes to stand together against the oppressive steps that tyrants take all of those things that would tie us together not just for

well i my own view is libya is concerned is that it was right for france united kingdom the united states and others to take the action that we did in libya i understand that it's a cause of very great concern in russia that the russian government felt that they were blindsided in the security council but that. it's not a view we accept it is also the case that there was a very clear mandate from the security council which russia had endorsed in favor of that military action and i think that libya is a better place than it was before and will become an even better place so i don't think it's a parallel with libya but what you had in libya was a mass of the population pretty united against a very small pretty corrupt elite around the gadhafi. in syria you've got a very much more complicated situation it is multi sect multi religious so you've got the alawite the shia the christians on one side and the sunni on the other side but it's even more complicated than that as we know you've also got different. interests in that country including historically that of france after the carve up of th

can rock the news and so so for grabs it does appear that the press freedom situation in the united kingdom is sliding and this great concern is twenty thirteen freedom of speech seen here reporters without borders gives the u.k. a satisfactory situation rating but for freedom of the press britain slips for nineteenth in two thousand and ten to its current ranking of twenty ninth many are concerned that shuttle seven of the terrorism act the law used to detain miranda is actually being used to stop journalists doing their job of holding people in power to account well other than being used to prevent terrorism should just seven allows police to stop examine and search passengers that travel terminals there's no need for any suspicion that they're linked to terrorism it's a very difficult problem the security services have a difficult job difficult job. the state clearly has a duty to protect. those people living. at the same time i think they must recognise the role of the media. right. and you have to have to be in line with the appropriate use the appropriate. response of the government s

made for invasion in iraq ten years ago he then thanked the united kingdom the e.u. and the people of the united states for standing up against the idea of a strike and then went on to criticize president obama saying that while he pretends to support the idea of democracy he's not listening to the voice of his own people he also showed an element of surprise wondering why the united states would be interested in helping these particular rebels at all let's listen to what he had to say. we have to ask how can president obama order a strike and support those who are behind the nine eleven terrorist attacks we also ask isn't washington using the same arguments to justify military action just as the did before invading iraq. so both foreign ministers coming to the table and agreeing to work towards peace and condemning international potential action and also this morning show in the u.s. secretary of state is in london has been. said that. john kerry and william hague met in london and in that meeting william hague said that the u.s. has the full diplomatic. support of

the united kingdom does have a financial tax. melissa: i know. >> they have a huge and vibrant financial sector. i want to say this -- melissa: a lot of trading has actually come to our shores as a result of that. we would without question lose that trading. maybe that is when you're after? you tax something you want to discourage so do you want, maybe you want to discourage stock trading? i know that is lot of what occupy wall street is about. is that one of the goals, to discourage active trading? >> listen, if that were true, why would we see business people like bill gates, like warren buffett, like john buying gel, who founded van guard investments holding up hands a financial tax is good idea. melissa: they already made billions of dollars because it is no skin off their back. they're fine wit. they already made all their money. they can do whatever they want. it is question of tax the things you want to discourage. do you want to discourage trading that is fine if you do. is that the goal? that is lot of goal occupy wall s

the press freedom situation in the united kingdom is this sliding and this is of great concern it is twenty thirteen freedom of speech seen here reporters without borders gives the satisfactory situation rating but for freedom of the press britain slipped from nineteenth in two thousand and ten to its current ranking of twenty ninth many are concerned that should chill serving of the terrorism act the law used to detain miranda is actually being used to stop journalists doing their job of holding people in power to account rather than being used to prevent terrorism. than allows for. to stop examine and search passengers that travel terminals there's no need for any suspicion that they are linked to terrorism it's a very difficult problems the security services have a difficult job of difficult job. the state clearly has a duty to protect its citizens and. those people live living. in the u.k. at the same time i think they must recognize the role of the media. and you have to have to be in line with the appropriate law and use the appropriate norms responsibility the government said

states or france or the united kingdom of course that would mean a competing. in syria something which has we we have already seen happening in countries such as libya and although the u.s. more apparently push more moderate rebels towards the negotiating table it's not in control of those fighting government troops on the ground that's according to syrian political analyst. we spoke to him earlier today. they have they do have an influence on this seem to have an influence on the politicians who say the represent to the syrian opposition or to form the syrian opposition or some of the middle east because they're definitely fragmented but where america doesn't really have much leverage is on the forces on the ground those who carry on weapons of the sea and already have seed probably this sort of agreement as a threat to their existence why would they comply and we've seen them destabilize a lot of agreements or a few agreements that have been reached before throughout the u.n. framework for example like the brain or coffee iran's plan so is it really the ameri

kingdom is part of the european union and this law would affect them. once this proposal turns into a law everybody must follow it and that includes great britain whether they want to or not once the majority decides the minority becomes irrelevant from a political point of view it is not an intelligent position to sit in the corner and complain it would be more intelligent to work with us and make their opinion count once the text is approved this becomes a law for all twenty eight states and more than five hundred million people. commissions remit doesn't allow it to deal with security services however what vivian reading is proposing is a law that would tackle companies which freely provide private information on citizens to those security services she's put forward legislation that would see a fine of around two percent of profit imposed upon those companies that give information of e.u. citizens over to security services then send when you're a toothless tiger all you can do is to rule but not bite at this point we are toothless and i want to give
