:02:07. > :02:08.suggested that David Cameron had become "distracted"
:02:09. > :02:13.following the military intervention in Libya in 2011.
:02:14. > :02:15.He also hinted that Britain would have to maintain its spending
:02:16. > :02:18.on defence if it was to keep its special relationship
:02:19. > :02:24.But tonight the White House appears to be backtracking on the remarks
:02:25. > :02:27.and underlining the strength of America's links with Britain,
:02:28. > :02:43.On the lawns of the White House this morning, signs of the special
:02:44. > :02:46.relationship in the making, as Barack Obama welcomed the new
:02:47. > :02:50.Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to Washington. Only a few
:02:51. > :02:54.years ago David Cameron was the recipient of the same pomp and
:02:55. > :02:57.circumstance. But judging by an interview that the president has
:02:58. > :03:01.given to the Atlantic magazine, relations between these allies
:03:02. > :03:08.across the pond have lost some of their lustre. At last year's G-7
:03:09. > :03:11.summit in Bavaria, the article -- claims the president told David
:03:12. > :03:14.Cameron you have to pay your fare share on defence spending for the
:03:15. > :03:19.special relationship between the United States and the UK to remain
:03:20. > :03:23.intact. Perhaps that explains the awkward diplomatic body language
:03:24. > :03:28.between the two and also why Britain committed shortly afterwards to
:03:29. > :03:31.spending 2% of GDP on defence. Another bone of contention, the
:03:32. > :03:37.chaotic aftermath of the military intervention in Libya in 2011, when
:03:38. > :03:39.air strikes by America, Britain and other allies contributed eventually
:03:40. > :03:44.to the overthrow of President Gaddafi. Libya is now a mess,
:03:45. > :03:48.according to Mr Obama. Privately he is said to have used expletives and
:03:49. > :03:52.while acknowledging American blame he has said that he had more faith
:03:53. > :03:56.in the Europeans and that David Cameron got distracted by a range of
:03:57. > :03:59.other things. It's a little unusual for an American president to have
:04:00. > :04:04.any distance from a British Prime Minister on a major security issue.
:04:05. > :04:12.I suppose Mr Obama was being contemplative and historical. He was
:04:13. > :04:14.looking back on a broad trend, because of course London and
:04:15. > :04:17.Washington don't like to have any daylight between them on crisis
:04:18. > :04:20.management in the moment. But the criticism on Libya is unfair
:04:21. > :04:24.according to a British former Foreign Secretary. It's a bit rich
:04:25. > :04:27.for the president to be singling out either Britain or any other
:04:28. > :04:31.individual country because Britain and France did most of the air
:04:32. > :04:33.operations, were much more heavily involved militarily than even the
:04:34. > :04:37.United States on this occasion, because the president was very
:04:38. > :04:41.reluctant for the US to be taking the lead as it normally would have
:04:42. > :04:45.been. The Obama Administration's writes with Downing Street don't end
:04:46. > :04:52.there. It's been agreed by the Cameron government's Asian pivot
:04:53. > :04:57.towards China -- aggrieved. It says it is hedging its bets over which
:04:58. > :05:00.country will end this century the dominant power. David Cameron has
:05:01. > :05:03.always prided himself on the closeness of his personal
:05:04. > :05:07.relationship with Barack Obama. They were barbecue bodies in Downing
:05:08. > :05:11.Street garden, but it's unusual for a president even gently about a
:05:12. > :05:17.British prime ministers. President Obama complained of free riders in
:05:18. > :05:20.the international community of the article suggests Britain was in
:05:21. > :05:24.danger of falling into that camp. But with Downing Street boosting
:05:25. > :05:30.defence spending, there's been a concerted effort to address that
:05:31. > :05:31.complaint, and to repair the coveted special relationship. Nick Bryant,
:05:32. > :05:34.BBC News. Our North America editor,
:05:35. > :05:40.Jon Sopel, is with me. The White House has been in touch
:05:41. > :05:45.with you this evening, a slightly different version of events. Very
:05:46. > :05:48.much so, it's like we've seen a curtain drawn back on the unspun
:05:49. > :05:52.thoughts of President Obama, complete with frustration. What we
:05:53. > :05:55.have seen is the White House trying to close the curtain as quickly as
:05:56. > :06:00.it can. It's extraordinary, this e-mail, it's on the record and the
:06:01. > :06:04.Berthoud, that it was completely unsolicited. We hadn't sought by
:06:05. > :06:07.comment, they have given it. It suggests the anger that was felt in
:06:08. > :06:10.Downing Street, when they saw the interview that the president had
:06:11. > :06:13.given to the Atlantic magazine, in saying you've got to do something
:06:14. > :06:18.about this. Let me give you a flavour of the e-mail I have
:06:19. > :06:22.received. It says Prime Minister Cameron has been a close a partner
:06:23. > :06:32.as we have had and we value the UK's Konta Bhushan on -- the UK's
:06:33. > :06:36.relationship. The UK has stood upon a range of issues including Mr
:06:37. > :06:41.Cameron's leadership in Nato and defence spending. Downing Street has
:06:42. > :06:44.put out a statement in the last hour which is very similarly worded. It
:06:45. > :06:50.looks like this is a concerted attempt to put out a fire that the
:06:51. > :06:53.President Hazlett. -- that the president has lit.
:06:54. > :06:55.There's been a major intervention to try to revive Europe's flagging
:06:56. > :06:57.economies by the European Central Bank.
:06:58. > :06:59.In a move which surprised the financial markets the ECB cut
:07:00. > :07:02.three interest rates and announced it was pumping an extra 20 billion
:07:03. > :07:07.But some analysts fear it may not be enough to restore growth and that
:07:08. > :07:10.could have an impact on the UK as our economics editor,
:07:11. > :07:24.The Eurozone has an economic problem. It's six, a central bank
:07:25. > :07:28.that wants to print money and offer interest rates so low they are
:07:29. > :07:31.actually negative -- the fix. Mario Draghi is the man charged with
:07:32. > :07:34.rescuing those sickly economy is just over the Channel, that are
:07:35. > :07:41.suffering deflation and slowing growth. It's a fairly long list of
:07:42. > :07:50.measures and each one of them is very significant, and devised to
:07:51. > :07:57.have the maximum impact into boosting the economy and the return
:07:58. > :08:02.to price stability. So we have shown that we are not short of ammunition
:08:03. > :08:08.is. So what does that ammunition look like? The ECB cut its three
:08:09. > :08:12.main interest rates to try and stimulate growth. The central bank
:08:13. > :08:19.is so keen to get banks lending again it lowered one of its key
:08:20. > :08:22.rates, the deposit rate, two -0.4%. A negative interest rate which has
:08:23. > :08:35.the effect of charging banks for depositing money -- it is lowered to
:08:36. > :08:38.0.4%. It will be raised to 80 billion euros a month, up by 20
:08:39. > :08:44.billion. Mr Draghi also revealed that cheap loans for banks will be
:08:45. > :08:48.provided in a concerted effort to rescue ailing Eurozone economies.
:08:49. > :08:52.Now, will it work? That's a question I put to a former financial
:08:53. > :08:58.regulator. I'm still not convinced that it is going to pull the
:08:59. > :09:01.Eurozone out of its medium-term problem of low growth and low
:09:02. > :09:06.inflation, because I think we are literally at the limits of what
:09:07. > :09:10.central banks can achieve by simply reducing interest rates still
:09:11. > :09:17.further and larger quantitative easing operations. Mr Blobby agrees
:09:18. > :09:22.at least in part. -- Mr Draghi. The ECB cannot be a one-man rescue
:09:23. > :09:26.mission. Central banks can't do it on their own, governments have to do
:09:27. > :09:30.it with central reforms and fiscal policy as well. There are more thing
:09:31. > :09:34.central banks can do but there are risks associated with some of those
:09:35. > :09:39.policies. Frankfurt, the ECB's home and the place now under scrutiny for
:09:40. > :09:43.unorthodox economic policies that no one is yet sure will actually work.
:09:44. > :09:47.Why does it matter? Because the Eurozone is one of the UK's most
:09:48. > :09:49.important trading partners. A sickly economy there means we could well

:21:58. > :22:19.began in Deraa, some Syrians dared to believe that
:22:20. > :22:23.political change could be as quick But the dream of the

:23:36. > :23:46.of its spending plans. The Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell
:23:47. > :23:49.has told the BBC that a future Labour Government would be

:23:56. > :24:10.Ross Hawkins, is at Westminster. What is the thinking behind this? It
:24:11. > :24:15.is borrowing and spending in a way that George Osborne does not plan.
:24:16. > :24:18.It is similar in some aspects to promises Ed Miliband and Gordon
:24:19. > :24:25.Brown have made in the past. When you listen to the tone, it is one of
:24:26. > :24:29.restraint. Debt will fall under a Labour government over a five-year
:24:30. > :24:34.period. Finally, all of this will be supervised independently why the
:24:35. > :24:39.Office for Budget Responsibility, reporting directly to Parliament.
:24:40. > :24:43.This is a new iron discipline for a Labour government. He is trying to
:24:44. > :24:48.reassure voters he can be left in charge of the economy. He knows he
:24:49. > :24:53.has an issue of credibility who only remember him for chucking a little
:24:54. > :25:01.red book by Chairman Mao at the Chancellor. Some want to see him
:25:02. > :25:02.unto conservative austerities. Balancing those demands will not be
:25:03. > :25:06.easy. More than 100 British scientists
:25:07. > :25:09.have added their voice to the debate over Britain's future
:25:10. > :25:11.in the European Union. The group from the Royal Society,
:25:12. > :25:13.including Professor Stephen Hawking, argued that leaving the EU would be
:25:14. > :25:16."a disaster for UK science." Our science editor, David Shukman,
:25:17. > :25:19.has been assessing the claims Science is one of the great success
:25:20. > :25:26.stories of the United Kingdom. Much of the research
:25:27. > :25:28.here leads the world. Many scientists believe
:25:29. > :25:30.that is helped by being Two thirds of the scientists
:25:31. > :25:36.from overseas in my It will be more difficult
:25:37. > :25:40.for them to come. If we turn our back on Europe,
:25:41. > :25:46.Europe will turn its back on us. For Stephen Hawking,
:25:47. > :25:47.the case is clear. He is among 150 scientists
:25:48. > :25:51.who warned in the Times this morning that leaving would be a disaster
:25:52. > :25:57.for UK science and universities. We would be handicapping
:25:58. > :25:58.ourselves and handicapping Europe
:25:59. > :26:00.if we were to backtrack on the positive developments
:26:01. > :26:05.of the last 30 years, which have led to a more interactive
:26:06. > :26:08.and stronger European community British scientists
:26:09. > :26:13.are good at winning EU money, like ?20 million
:26:14. > :26:16.for the new material graphene, But, EU restrictions
:26:17. > :26:22.on genetic modification So, what are the facts behind
:26:23. > :26:28.the claims for how leaving the EU Between 2007 and 2013,
:26:29. > :26:38.the UK gave ?4.14 billion to the EU But UK scientists then got
:26:39. > :26:45.more out of it, winning about ?6.75 billion in grants
:26:46. > :26:50.for their research. Another measure is the
:26:51. > :26:52.scientists themselves. Freedom of movement within the EU
:26:53. > :26:54.means the very best European researchers can come
:26:55. > :26:58.here and then attract even more But, campaigners for Britain
:26:59. > :27:03.to leave say stronger connections with America and rising powers
:27:04. > :27:05.like China and South Korea are far more
:27:06. > :27:10.important for British science. The argument is the country that
:27:11. > :27:13.produced Isaac Newton and the technology
:27:14. > :27:19.of steam engines, and then cracked the code of life, DNA,
:27:20. > :27:22.would thrive outside the EU. The whole point of
:27:23. > :27:23.doing science really is to go through into innovation,
:27:24. > :27:26.into industry, into the economy, I think we would do that much better
:27:27. > :27:32.outside the European Union, whose directives basically put
:27:33. > :27:36.so much red tape on small companies who could actually get the science
:27:37. > :27:40.going into the economy. Most big research projects these
:27:41. > :27:42.days are international, like the Large Hadron
:27:43. > :27:46.Collider near Geneva. Countries can join without being
:27:47. > :27:49.in the EU, so the issue is whether British science is made
:27:50. > :27:52.easier and more productive Liverpool have a 2-0 advantage over

:29:07. > :29:11.stunning. Then there is James Bond's jet pack, the underwater car, the
:29:12. > :29:17.villains lairs, the look and feel of what made James Bond so memorable
