:02:55. > :02:59.What's the reaction been to John Kerry's comments?
:03:00. > :03:05.Well, to be fair, it's been something of a mixed reaction. Those
:03:06. > :03:09.who want Britain to stay in the EU welcomed those comments partly
:03:10. > :03:11.because he didn't simply say Britain would be stronger inside the
:03:12. > :03:16.European Union. He suggested he would be safer as well, Europe

:03:58. > :04:03.Summit on Thursday, how important is it going to be? Well, it will be
:04:04. > :04:06.crucial for the Prime Minister. It will decide whether he gets the deal
:04:07. > :04:09.he wants to see on the table. If he does that fires the starting gun on
:04:10. > :04:13.the referendum campaign. That allows him to do what he wants to do, to
:04:14. > :04:16.have an early referendum in June while he believes many of his
:04:17. > :04:21.opponents are in disarray, if he fails to get the deal that he wants,
:04:22. > :04:25.and some areas of negotiation still have to be car carried out, there is
