:02:32. > :02:38.came confirmation that David Cameron had, as claimed, hosted not
:02:38. > :02:42.dinner parties, but donor parties for the very, very rich. In the two
:02:42. > :02:45.years I have been Prime Minister, there have been three occasions on
:02:45. > :02:48.which significant donors have come to a dinner in my flat. None of

:02:53. > :02:58.were paid for by the taxpayer. is not what those attending a
:02:58. > :03:02.conference on dementia had attended -- had expected, but David Cameron
:03:02. > :03:11.knew he had no choice but to reveal who had attended the trip --

:04:08. > :04:15.the Commons, when there was a The minister had come to talk about
:04:15. > :04:19.reforming party funding, he was met with derision. As set out in the
:04:19. > :04:25.coalition government's programme, party funding in Britain need to be
:04:25. > :04:29.reformed. The Labour leader was particularly
:04:29. > :04:33.scathing. It shows utter contempt for this House that the Prime
:04:33. > :04:36.Minister can make a statement to the media just three hours ago, but
:04:37. > :04:41.refuses to come here to face Members of Parliament. Ed Miliband
:04:41. > :04:44.condemned what he called the whitewash of an inquiry into the
:04:44. > :04:49.Conservative Party, by the Conservative Party, for the
:04:49. > :04:53.Conservative Party. This scandal speaks to the conduct and character
:04:53. > :04:57.of the Prime Minister, and the Government. Anything short of an
:04:57. > :05:04.independent inquiry will leave a permanent stain on this government,
:05:04. > :05:08.and this Prime Minister. Having started the day with his aides
:05:08. > :05:13.saying he would not reveal his dining companions, David Cameron
:05:13. > :05:17.produced not one but two lists, at his country residence Chequers, he
:05:17. > :05:21.welcomed another five party donors. Only a few weeks ago, the Prime
:05:21. > :05:26.Minister told visiting schoolchildren about his flat over
:05:26. > :05:29.the shop. I live in a little flat, a very nice flat above Number 11
:05:29. > :05:36.Downing Street, up there. But what I get up to in there, that's
:05:36. > :05:39.private. How he must wish that was still true. What he gets up to up
:05:39. > :05:43.there is private no longer. And Nick is in Downing Street for
:05:43. > :05:47.us tonight. First, David Cameron said he would
:05:47. > :05:51.not release the names, then he did. Where does it leave the question of
:05:51. > :05:56.party funding? 24 hours ago we were told he wanted to maintain his
:05:56. > :05:59.privacy. Then I think he and his aides had to -- decided they had to
:05:59. > :06:05.answer the question, guess who is coming to dinner, because if they
:06:05. > :06:11.did not, this story would have momentum for day after day. There
:06:11. > :06:15.is still the question of the influence that those donors got,
:06:15. > :06:19.and why on tape, the former Tory treasurer seem to be willing to
:06:19. > :06:23.discuss, how a foreign donation, illegal under British law, might be
:06:24. > :06:29.processed in a way that would allow it to go into Conservative coffers.
:06:29. > :06:33.That issue of party funding overall is also back on the agenda. Plenty
:06:33. > :06:39.of people say, why don't they sort it out? The Tories say, we are
:06:39. > :06:43.willing to cap donations at �50,000, if only union donations to the
:06:43. > :06:48.Labour Party would capped as well. Labour say, we will cap union

:07:40. > :07:44.This is a tough conflict at the best of times, but for
:07:44. > :07:49.international troops, the risk of being shot by the very men they are
:07:49. > :07:53.training and fighting alongside is the hardest one their face. These
:07:53. > :07:58.two deaths bring to 15, the number of British troops who have died in
:07:58. > :08:03.this way. The news was announced in the Commons. Details of the
:08:03. > :08:05.incident are still emerging but it appears that a member of the Afghan
:08:05. > :08:09.national army opened fire at the entrance gate to the British

:09:05. > :09:08.February. We are taking a lot of measures to ensure that these
:09:08. > :09:12.incidents are kept to a minimum and I do not predict that this will
:09:12. > :09:17.result in a shift in policy. It is a terrible spate of attacks, isn't
:09:17. > :09:22.it? It is. Although these attacks are relatively small in number, the
:09:22. > :09:26.effect that they have his severe. The aim is that Afghan forces will
:09:26. > :09:30.be ready to take on the fight against the Taliban for themselves

:13:29. > :13:32.the taxpayer's stake could be sold, but critics say selling now would
:13:32. > :13:37.be selling cheap. We have the details.
:13:37. > :13:42.It is the bank we bailed out when it was about to go bust four years
:13:42. > :13:47.ago. Now we could be selling some shares in Royal Bank of Scotland to
:13:48. > :13:52.Abu Dhabi. Talks have been ongoing, on the table is a stake of at least
:13:52. > :13:57.10% and perhaps as high as 30% in Royal Bank of Scotland, but should
:13:57. > :14:01.the taxpayer consider a sale? The Treasury injected �45 billion into
:14:01. > :14:05.Royal Bank of Scotland to prevent it from collapsing. The price at
:14:05. > :14:09.which the Government gets its money back is 50 pence a share, that is a
:14:10. > :14:14.long way off the closing price of 28 pence. Meaning a sale would mean
:14:14. > :14:18.a loss. We will look closely as the terms
:14:18. > :14:23.of the sale to ensure it holds good value for money for the taxpayer as
:14:23. > :14:29.we have looked at all other aspects of the enforced nationalisations,

:14:44. > :14:48.wrong and it would be better if we waited for the economy to recover
:14:48. > :14:52.for the share price to recover, so that we got better value for money.
:14:52. > :14:58.There are advantages to the Government selling, even at a loss.
:14:58. > :15:02.It sends a signal it does not want to be in the banking business which
:15:02. > :15:06.deflects pressure when it comes to bankers' bonuses, but the market
:15:06. > :15:10.watchers say it is crucial that the Government sells to a buyer
:15:10. > :15:13.interested in long-term investment. If it turns out that the buyer
:15:13. > :15:19.doubles the money and thin sells the stock into the market. There
:15:19. > :15:23.will be a feel, that is a profit that Abu Dhabi made, but maybe it
:15:23. > :15:27.should have been for the taxpayer. It is the subject of talks between
:15:27. > :15:31.the Government and Abu Dhabi, Royal Bank of Scotland had no say in the
:15:31. > :15:35.outcome. That is ironic, the people who benefit the most are the
:15:35. > :15:37.bankers who work there. The senior guys are paid mostly in shares.
:15:37. > :15:41.They could be set to recover strongly.
:15:41. > :15:45.The Government said that it was talking to a range of investors.

:24:18. > :24:23.US embargo and a system that has failed to bring wealth to the
