:00:37. > :00:44.accused the Prime Minister of acting to appease his own
:00:44. > :00:48.backbenchers. Why doesn't he admitted? You have been driven to
:00:48. > :00:51.it not by national interests, but been dragged to it by his party.

:01:21. > :01:25.to do, wearing his uniform. It's as simple as that, really. Coming up
:01:25. > :01:29.in Sportsday on the BBC News Channel, Swansea take on Chelsea
:01:29. > :01:39.for the right to play Bradford in the League Cup final at Wembley. We
:01:39. > :01:52.
:01:52. > :01:55.will have all of the action from Good evening. The Prime Minister
:01:55. > :01:59.staked his future and that of the UK on a political gamble today.
:01:59. > :02:03.Holding out the prospect of a referendum that could end more than
:02:03. > :02:06.40 years of Britain within the European Union. It came in his
:02:06. > :02:11.promise that if he is still Prime Minister after the next election
:02:11. > :02:15.there will be a referendum by 2017 on whether the UK should stay in or
:02:15. > :02:20.pull out of the dew. But not before he tries to negotiate our links
:02:20. > :02:23.with Europe and reform it from within. It met with a mixed
:02:23. > :02:29.response from other European leaders. Labour said the pledge of
:02:29. > :02:34.a referendum in future means years of uncertainty.
:02:34. > :02:38.No speech by the Prime Minister has been agonised over by so long. None
:02:38. > :02:42.will be of such consequence. None based on a bigger political gamble.
:02:42. > :02:47.David Cameron promised you a vote today on whether Britain stays in
:02:47. > :02:51.Europe or whether we should get out. But listen hard. This is a vote
:02:52. > :02:56.that will not come now and it will not come before the next election.
:02:57. > :03:01.The next Conservative manifesto in 2015 will ask for a mandate from
:03:01. > :03:04.the British people for a Conservative government to
:03:05. > :03:09.negotiate a new settlement with our European partners in the next
:03:09. > :03:14.Parliament. When we have negotiated that new settlement, we will give
:03:14. > :03:18.the British people a referendum with a very simple in or out choice.
:03:18. > :03:25.To stay in the European Union, on these new terms, or to come out
:03:25. > :03:32.altogether. It will be an in-about referendum. Europe had to change,
:03:32. > :03:36.he said, to become more, if flexible and accountable. The
:03:36. > :03:40.mission should no longer be ever- closer union. If not, it is clear
:03:40. > :03:44.why he thought we were heading. we do not address these challenges,
:03:44. > :03:49.the danger is that Europe will fail and the British people will drift
:03:49. > :03:53.towards the exit. I do not want that to happen. I want the European
:03:53. > :03:56.Union to be a success and I want the relationship between Britain
:03:56. > :04:01.and the European Union that keeps us in it.
:04:01. > :04:05.The last time, indeed the only time Britain had a vote on Europe was
:04:05. > :04:13.way back in 1975, when television graphics were a little bit more
:04:13. > :04:17.basic. Back then, Harold Wilson and Margaret Thatcher voted yes. David
:04:17. > :04:22.Cameron's promise to vote could be another four years away. What would
:04:22. > :04:26.he do? When that referendum comes, let me say now if we can negotiate
:04:26. > :04:30.such an arrangement, I will campaign for it with all my heart
:04:30. > :04:36.and soul. What the Prime Minister did not say was what New Deal he
:04:36. > :04:41.really wanted or what he would do if Europe said know. If you cannot
:04:41. > :04:45.get a better deal, are you saying you would vote no for Britain to be
:04:45. > :04:49.out of Europe? If you fudge the question command we entitled to
:04:49. > :04:54.assume that you want people to think that, but who we are scared
:04:54. > :04:59.to say it? I will answer that directly. Who goes into a
:04:59. > :05:03.negotiation hoping and expecting to fail? Come noon, the first test of
:05:03. > :05:08.how the big speech went down. This, the sound of Tory MPs gritting
:05:08. > :05:11.their leader's arrival in the Commons. Less impressed, the Labour
:05:11. > :05:16.leader, who condemned a speech he said was written to please them,
:05:16. > :05:19.not the country. Why can't you say unequivocally that he will vote yes
:05:19. > :05:24.in a referendum? Because he is frightened of the people behind him.
:05:24. > :05:27.The only thing that has changed is a few months ago, when he said he
:05:28. > :05:32.was against an in or out referendum, it is not the situation in Europe
:05:32. > :05:37.but the situation in the Tory party. Why doesn't he admitted? He's been
:05:37. > :05:42.driven to it, not by the national interest, but been dragged to it by
:05:42. > :05:50.his party. The most basic question of all is, do you want a
:05:50. > :05:54.referendum? I do, does he? No, we do not want an in-out referendum!
:05:54. > :06:00.Clear enough, you might think, until his spin-doctors explained he
:06:00. > :06:05.didn't mean no in any circumstances, just no to making the promise now.
:06:05. > :06:10.Labour's opponents are smelling blood. I think his stance on no
:06:10. > :06:13.referendum will drive traditional Labour voters to UKIP. I think the
:06:13. > :06:17.civil war that you have seen in the Conservative Party on this issue,
:06:17. > :06:21.you will see in the Labour Party as well. But Labour is not alone on
:06:21. > :06:25.condemning the promise. Even the Prime Minister's own deputy says he
:06:25. > :06:30.should be focusing on turning the economy around. That job is made
:06:30. > :06:34.all the more hard if we have years of grinding uncertainty because of
:06:34. > :06:38.the ill-defined and protracted negotiation of Britain's status in
:06:38. > :06:43.the European Union. That, in my view, will hit growth and jobs and
:06:43. > :06:46.that is why it is not in a national interests, in my view. The speech
:06:46. > :06:50.David Cameron delivered to be the first step towards a European exit
:06:50. > :06:54.for Britain. The Prime Minister insists it is not what he wants or
:06:54. > :07:04.believes will happen. But what he has done today is to ensure that he
:07:04. > :07:05.
:07:05. > :07:08.is no longer in charge. He claims Well, the Prime Minister claims
:07:08. > :07:12.public disillusionment with the EU is at an all-time high and it is
:07:12. > :07:17.time the British people have their say. Richard Bilton has been to
:07:17. > :07:22.Birmingham, to gauge their reaction to our relationship with Europe and
:07:22. > :07:25.Mr Cameron's plan to change it. Over the past week, the Midlands
:07:25. > :07:31.has worried more about its relationship with the Arctic and
:07:31. > :07:35.Europe. But what do those enjoying warm cappuccinos and lattes think
:07:35. > :07:39.of the Prime Minister's view that disillusionment with the EU is at
:07:39. > :07:42.an all-time high? I am more concerned about all of the cuts
:07:42. > :07:46.going on at the moment. I think we need to worry more about what is
:07:46. > :07:50.happening at home rather than in Europe. I would like to see a
:07:50. > :07:54.debate. I think it should be up to the public too at least to voice
:07:54. > :08:00.their opinion, if not make the decision. It's just seems like they
:08:00. > :08:05.are point scoring off each other. I don't know how that translates down
:08:05. > :08:09.into normal people's lives, really. Birmingham sees itself as in the
:08:09. > :08:13.industrial heartland. Metal-bashing is not what it was. But it means
:08:13. > :08:18.that in places like this the UK's relationship with Europe is about
:08:18. > :08:23.more than just politics. It is about jobs and livelihood. Here,
:08:23. > :08:27.they do not bash metal, but they do manufacture. These precision tools
:08:27. > :08:31.are used by industries around the world. The managing director says
:08:31. > :08:36.that Europe is no longer the key market, but the debate is important.
:08:36. > :08:40.Too much of the regulation that comes out of Europe, a lot of the
:08:40. > :08:45.waste that we see, we do not want to be part of that. What we need to
:08:45. > :08:49.do is to renegotiate our position, but remain in it. Down the road, a
:08:50. > :08:53.different side of the UK economy. This is a distribution centre.
:08:53. > :09:00.These water and gas meters are not made here, but from here they head
:09:00. > :09:03.out across Europe. I think it is a mistake. And in-out referendum can
:09:04. > :09:09.harm my business. It will introduce uncertainty into the marketplace
:09:09. > :09:19.and that is going to cause difficulties for this business.
:09:19. > :09:23.of the shopfloor, the concern was not about Europe but about jobs.
:09:23. > :09:28.The company I work with, progression, if it keeps us in work
:09:28. > :09:33.and successful, there are no problems. So, what will the issues
:09:33. > :09:38.be? Tonight, at a city-centre fitness class, strong views on the
:09:38. > :09:41.Prime Minister's call for a national debate. I think we have
:09:41. > :09:46.more in common with the United States than anybody. I would be
:09:46. > :09:51.more inclined to stick by ourselves. It compromises a lot of people and
:09:51. > :09:55.its country and a lot of jobs that rely on what comes from Europe.
:09:55. > :09:59.Polls suggests that for many people in the UK, hour relationship with
:09:59. > :10:04.Europe has become less of a political issue. Today, David
:10:04. > :10:06.Cameron brought it back into the spotlight.
:10:07. > :10:11.The reaction from Britain's European partners have been mostly
:10:11. > :10:17.polite, but clear remits advice against steering the UK out of the
:10:17. > :10:20.European Union. Some welcomed Mr Cameron's plans to reform the EU,
:10:20. > :10:30.others criticised him for trying to cherry-pick elements that he wanted.
:10:30. > :10:32.
:10:32. > :10:36.Angela Merkel said she was prepared Berlin. Chilly and uneasy. The
:10:36. > :10:42.Government here had been nervous about David Cameron's speech,
:10:42. > :10:47.despite being briefed beforehand. Even on the streets there is an
:10:47. > :10:51.understanding that leaving the EU is now an option for Britain.
:10:51. > :10:57.it is absolutely really a pity. I think we need Great Britain in the
:10:57. > :11:00.EU. It is time for Britain to decide if they are wholly want to
:11:00. > :11:03.belong to the European project will not. Soon after, the German
:11:03. > :11:12.Chancellor said Germany was prepared to talk about Britain's
:11:12. > :11:17.wishes. Angela Merkel said a fair compromise was needed, balance in
:11:17. > :11:20.Britain's demands with those of other countries. Her foreign
:11:20. > :11:25.minister made it clear that what they couldn't accept his Britain
:11:25. > :11:34.picking and choosing what it liked and disliked. Cherry-picking is not
:11:34. > :11:41.an option. In challenging times of globalisation, we as Europeans are
:11:41. > :11:44.all in the same boat. The German and French leaders had met last
:11:44. > :11:49.night and had co-ordinated their response to David Cameron's speech.
:11:50. > :11:57.The French are also willing to discuss a more open, flexible dew.
:11:57. > :12:01.But no special deal for the UK. EU. TRANSLATION: Imagine that they
:12:01. > :12:06.dew as a football club. Once you're in this club, you cannot say, we
:12:06. > :12:13.want to play rugby. San MEPs in Brussels watched the speech. Some
:12:13. > :12:19.welcomed his vision for a leaner, less bureaucratic Europe. It was a
:12:19. > :12:22.breakthrough speech, a remarkable speech which set up a completely
:12:22. > :12:26.new vision of the European Union for the future. David Cameron is
:12:27. > :12:30.now at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Also there, one of his
:12:30. > :12:35.closest allies in Europe, the Prime Minister of Sweden. David Cameron
:12:35. > :12:39.is not the only one who has been presenting ideas how to reshape
:12:39. > :12:43.Walter the direction of the European co-operation. I have
:12:43. > :12:47.listened to others, we have been able to solve this in a way that is
:12:47. > :12:51.good for everyone. The message coming out of Berlin today is very
:12:51. > :12:58.much shared in other capitals. Yes, they want Britain to stay in the EU,
:12:58. > :13:02.but not at any price. The door is not close to offering some
:13:02. > :13:06.concessions. But there is little appetite to give Britain a whole
:13:06. > :13:10.range of opt-outs just for itself. The reality is that Britain will
:13:10. > :13:20.need the support of the 26 other Aru members to claw back powers
:13:20. > :13:22.
:13:22. > :13:25.from Europe. That is likely to be a In moment we'll get a final thought
:13:25. > :13:28.from Nick Robinson in Downing Street. First let's cross to the
:13:28. > :13:32.World Economic Forum in Davos. Our Economics Editor, Stephanie
:13:32. > :13:37.flanders is there. Drm has arrived there now. What are business
:13:37. > :13:43.leaders saying there about what Mr Cameron has had to say?
:13:43. > :13:47.Stephanie, in Davos, can you hear Well, this is the World Economic
:13:47. > :13:51.Forum. It's full of business leaders from around the world and
:13:51. > :13:54.politicians. It is fair to say they are not all talking about David
:13:54. > :13:57.Cameron and his speech. I think people who are active in Britain
:13:57. > :14:02.and the British business leaders have had a mixed reaction, much as
:14:02. > :14:05.you have heard in the UK. Lee liked what they heard about the single
:14:05. > :14:08.market. The idea that the single market, not the single currency is
:14:08. > :14:13.the most important idea in the European Union. Those that have to
:14:13. > :14:17.deal with Brussels regulations on a day-to-day level are sympathetic
:14:17. > :14:20.with the idea that Brussels needs to be reined in, that there needs
:14:20. > :14:24.to be less regulation in Europe. But they are nervous. There is
:14:24. > :14:27.certainly some business leaders, who have written a letter to the
:14:28. > :14:33.Times tomorrow, eng dorsing David Cameron's approach, he think he has
:14:33. > :14:38.done the right thing. -- endorsing. Others are worried. Even those who
:14:38. > :14:45.are sympathetic with David Cameron and agree with what he said in his
:14:45. > :14:49.speech,, it is hard if find people who feel happy. Others are nervous
:14:49. > :14:55.about it. They are not sure it is a process they could control. No-one
:14:55. > :14:58.is selling the pound on the basis of this. They do not do anything on
:14:58. > :15:01.the financial on the basis of what might happen in five years' time.
:15:01. > :15:05.But there is a nervousness, will it have the result that David Cameron
:15:05. > :15:14.hopes it will. Nick Robinson, this speech long-awited by the Prime
:15:14. > :15:18.Minister, has turned out to be a high-stakes gamble, isn't it? -
:15:18. > :15:21.long awaited. Ye, but it is one he thinks he is pulling off. Those
:15:21. > :15:26.Tories MP cheering in the Commons today think they have something to
:15:26. > :15:28.cheer about and woo back their voters who have gone over to the UK
:15:28. > :15:32.Independence Party and think they have the Labour Party in a corner,
:15:32. > :15:36.with Ed Miliband today either looking like he is opposed to the
:15:36. > :15:41.public having their say or worse, still, he is confused about whether
:15:41. > :15:44.they should have a say or not. You might think the job is done for the
:15:44. > :15:48.Prime Minister? Well, not a bit of it. Why? Because David Cameron when
:15:48. > :15:52.he first became Tory leader, told his party in no uncertain terms -
:15:52. > :15:56.one of the reasons they have lost is they appeared to bang on about
:15:56. > :16:00.Europe and obsess about it. In a way, he has given them permission
:16:00. > :16:04.to do just that, through the next election, for the next five years.
:16:04. > :16:09.In other words, there are now Euro- sceptic Tory MPs who are telling me
:16:09. > :16:13.- this we are banking, but from now on, we will demand to know from the
:16:13. > :16:17.Prime Minister exactly what powers he wants to get back from Brussels.
:16:17. > :16:21.We will demand from him that he ups his negotiating position. We will
:16:21. > :16:25.demand that he says that he is prepared to vote no in that
:16:25. > :16:29.referendum if he doesn't get his way. What's more, Fiona, this is
:16:29. > :16:32.another example of a policy that has driven the coalition partners,
:16:32. > :16:36.the Liberal Democrats, into the arms of the Labour Party, not
:16:36. > :16:41.somewhere the Conservatives may wish them to be. One last thought
:16:41. > :16:44.for you, though: the curiosity of tonight is this: I'm speaking to
:16:44. > :16:47.pro-Europeans who believe this speech will save Britain's
:16:47. > :16:51.membership of the EU, including some very close to the Prime
:16:52. > :16:56.Minister. I'm talking to anti- Europeans who believe that it'll
:16:56. > :17:02.lead to Britain inexorablely leaving the EU. They can't both be
:17:02. > :17:05.right. When they work that out, they're likely to be pretty
:17:05. > :17:11.unforgiving. Thank you both very much.
:17:11. > :17:15.Coming up: Prince Harry after his tour of
:17:15. > :17:22.Afghanistan. Back to normal life? He says he has never known what a
:17:22. > :17:27.normal life is. There is to be a shake-up in the
:17:27. > :17:31.way A-level students are tested in England. Instead of modules, tests
:17:31. > :17:35.and assessments, pupils will just sit exams at the end of their two-
:17:35. > :17:39.year course. The Education Secretary, Michael Gove, says AS-
:17:39. > :17:43.level will remain but will not effect the eventual A-level result.
:17:43. > :17:49.Labour has accused him of turning back the clock. Stkpwhrts back to
:17:49. > :17:53.the future for A-levels. -- It's back to the future. From 2014 sixth
:17:53. > :17:58.formers in England will take exams only at the end of a two-year
:17:58. > :18:03.course with AS levels no longer counting towards the final grade.
:18:03. > :18:07.We wanted to essentially try to ensure that A-levels, which are
:18:07. > :18:10.primarily but not exclusively preparation for university
:18:10. > :18:15.education, gave people a better preparation for what universities
:18:15. > :18:19.involved. He wants to get rid of what he calls bite-sized learning
:18:20. > :18:25.and have more detailed study. At this school in London sixth formers
:18:25. > :18:30.considered the plans. I think it would deer if students from going
:18:30. > :18:33.it sixth form. Because of the pressure. -- it would deter.
:18:33. > :18:37.wouldn't be able to handle the pressure of knowing the final
:18:37. > :18:41.examination, my last chance to shine, was it. Michael Gove says
:18:41. > :18:44.end of course exams rather than modules will help promote deeper
:18:44. > :18:48.learning and understanding. No-one is against his aims but many
:18:48. > :18:52.question the methods. Among them, Cambridge, which uses AS-level
:18:52. > :18:57.taken at the year of age 12, to make offers to sixth formers.
:18:57. > :19:01.have found in this university that year 12 results are the best
:19:01. > :19:06.guidance we have about how well a student can go on and perform when
:19:06. > :19:10.here. To lose that would throw us back on GCSE results or optimistic
:19:10. > :19:14.predictions of what they may do in the future. Neither of which is
:19:14. > :19:17.anywhere near as good as the actual proper exam results of year 12.
:19:17. > :19:22.Pupils in Wales and Northern Ireland will have to wait to find
:19:22. > :19:28.out the future of both A-levels and GCSEs for them. But in England, the
:19:28. > :19:32.modular system of secondry exams does look set to bite the dust.
:19:32. > :19:39.Unemployment has fallen to its lowest level for 18 months. The
:19:39. > :19:44.number of UK jobless fell by 37,000 in the last quarter to just under
:19:44. > :19:47.2.5 million, the lowest since spring 2011. Hugh Pym is with me.
:19:47. > :19:52.We keep hearing about unemployment falling but the economy is still
:19:52. > :19:55.struggling. What is going on? these figures were a lot stronger
:19:55. > :19:59.than most analysts had expected. One or two are wondering whether

:20:09. > :20:13.in work. That's a record. If you go back over the 12 months leading up
:20:13. > :20:17.to that three-month period, you see an increase of people in work of
:20:17. > :20:21.more than 500,000. That's the fastest rate of increase since the
:20:21. > :20:26.late 1980s. These are headline figures but even if you look at the
:20:26. > :20:29.employment rate as a percentage of the workforce, that's up too.

:20:43. > :20:47.another key bit of the economic jigsaw on Friday, with the GDP

:21:07. > :21:11.The National Housing Federation say they expect rent arrears to
:21:11. > :21:15.increase by one quarter of a billion pounds a year. In a survey,

:21:46. > :21:50.reform has cast upon him and many of his neighbours. We are here to
:21:50. > :21:54.help. It is a strong message. Rick's landlord, a social housing

:22:12. > :22:19.The biggest risk you've got is, if you allow that short fall to come
:22:19. > :22:23.out of your rent pot, you are facing eviction. Many people in an
:22:24. > :22:26.area like this live hand-to-mouth. It is a cash economy often based on

:22:56. > :22:59.comes to me, I wouldn't give it to my landlord. To be honest. You will
:22:59. > :23:04.face eviction. That's what I'm saying. The biggest social landlord
:23:04. > :23:09.around here is worried. Half its tenants don't have the internet. A

:23:43. > :23:53.rent man, Government pilots have seen many more social tenants
:23:53. > :23:56.falling behind with rents. We are treating social tenants the same so
:23:56. > :24:00.they learn budgeting skills and if they move into work it is not a
:24:00. > :24:03.shock. We recognise a minute or the will struggle and they'll need
:24:03. > :24:07.special support. But the norm is people will have an income coming
:24:07. > :24:10.in and they'll budget out of it. Some vulnerable tenants will be
