i want britain to be a strong as possible. the stronger britain is the stronger that special relationship is and the more we can get done together to make sure we have a world to promote peace and human rights and the development we want to see in the rest of the world. stronger britain, stronger special relationship is in our interests and the interests of the united states of america as well. >> let me start with winston churchill. i don't know if people are aware of this but on the second floor, my office, my private office is called the tree. right outside the door of the treaty room so that i see it every day including weekends when i am going into that office to watch a basketball game, the primary image i see is a bust of winston churchill. it is there voluntarily. i could do anything on that side of the floor. i love winston churchill. i love the guy. when i was elected president of the united states my predecessor kept a churchill bust in the oval office. there are only so many tables you can put busts or it starts to

stronger britain. stronger special relationship did that is in the interest of the united states of america as well. >> let me start with winston churchill. [laughter] i do not know if people are aware of this, on the second floor, my office, my private office is called the treaty room. and right outside the door of the treaty room, so that i see it every day, including on weekends when i'm going into that office to watch a basketball game, the primary image i see is a bust of winston churchill. it is they are voluntarily because i can do anything on the second floor. [laughter] i love winston churchill. i love the guy. now, when i was elected as president of the united states, my predecessor had kept it in the oval office. there are only so many tables where you can put that. otherwise it starts looking a little cluttered. i thought, it was appropriate. i suspect most people here in the united kingdom may agree. the first african-american president, it may be appropriate to have doctor martin luther k

so i want britain to be as strong as possible and the stronger britain is, the stronger that special relationship and the more we can get done together to make sure we have a world that promotes democracy, peace, human rights, and the development that we want to see across the world. so to me, it's simple. stronger britain, stronger special relationship. that's in our interest and that's in the interest of the united states of america as well. >> let me start with winston churchill. you know, i don't know if people are aware of this but in the residence on the second floor, my office, my private office is called the treaty room. and right outside the door of the treaty room, so that i see it every day, including on weekends when i'm going into that office to watch a basketball game, the primary image i see is a bust of winston churchill. it's there voluntarily because i can do anything on the second floor. i love winston churchill. i love the guy. now, when i was elected as president of the united states, my predecessor had kept a churchill bust in the oval office. there's only so ma

i want britain to be as strong as possible. we draw our strengths from all sort of things from the country. amazing arm forces and brilliant security and intelligent forces that we were discussing of how well they work together and incredibly talented people. the fact that we are a member of nato and g-7 and the commonwealth, we also draw strengths and project power and values and protect our people and make our country wealthier by being in the european union. i want britain to be as strong as possible. the stronger britain is the stronger that special relationship is and the more we can get done together to make sure we have a world that promotes world peace and human rights and the developments that we want to see across the world. to me, is simple. stronger britain, that's in our interest and that's in the interest of united states america as well. >> let me start with winston churchill. you know, i don't know if people are aware of this. in the resident on the second floor my office, my private office, it is called t-- rig

the camp that wants britain to leave the e.u. is upset that president obama has stepped time this debate. they feel it's meddling, they feel it's inappropriate for a foreign leader to take a position on this debate. however, the president feels very strongly about it. he says essentially that britain is a key ally of the united states. the united states sees britain as a bridge to europe. and he feels that britain's position is much enhanced by remaining a part of this e.u. bloc of some 28 nations. he'll be asked about it at a press conference that he'll hold with the prime minister. also on the on the agenda, the fight against isis and another reason of course why the president says that britain's place should be in the -- should be in the european union. back to you. >> a lot to discuss, yes, ron, thank you so much for that. >>> well, some smart ideas on thousand save money while going green on this earth day. the donald stirring up a hornet's nest during thursday's town hall on "today." we have those details ahead. oh, look...

and i believe that if britain leaves the european union, you will see britain significantly overtaking germany as an economic force in europe. and let's remember that the refugees coming into countries like germany today, once they become german citizens, for a period of five years, they will have the right to move over to the united kingdom and other european countries so the refugee issue in germany which is largely a self-made crisis, i think, on the part of angela merkel, those refugees will have the right then to move to the united kingdom. that's going to be a big factor as well in this referendum. just to conclude, i'm out of time here, but with regard to the future of u.s. policy towards europe, i would hope that the next u.s. president will embark on a fundamental review of america's traditional backing for the european project. we need a new u.s. approach to europe based upon support for national sovereignty and nation states. and america has no interest in backing the creation of a european super state. i don't believe such a super state is in the interest of european countr

barack obama is still very popular in britain. opinion polls suggest his trust rating is more than 70%, better than any british politician. he is using a clear popularity, he is normally very mild mannered and calm and clear. he has put this in an historical context where he is saying this is all about building peace on the european continent and it has been a success story. don't give it up now. what he has revealed are two things. from an american perspective, they really want britain to remain in the european union. they see britain as being a voice dealing with europe and the shock of leaving would be dangerous for world peace and the global economy. >> i want to turn to the domestic level. david cameron turned this to political scoring exercise. it seems to have taken on a momentum of its own. do you think he has lost control over this? >> he was always taking an enormous gamble calling this vote. referendums are dangerous tool of democracy. we know they seldom answer the question people are being asked. the danger is the pri

i think about britain. he would be a catastrophic move for britain to do to itself and up and trading contracts and basically isolate itself. if obama -- let's see what he does tomorrow. if he weighs in strongly in favor of no brexit, he will be embarrassed. but i don't see obama as the center of the world in that sense. what i do see, and it relates to all of this, global innovation, and the fact that 100 years ago, there wasn't globalization. currency did not move the way it did, does. terrorism does not move the way it does. this metasicized global terrorism. this was the challenge obama, and in this doesn't get pushed back some, he will be judged quite harshly. john micklethwait: that is one of the interesting things about the british, when it comes to free trade, we are almost without exception of people who support it most fervently. there are problems on immigration, but anything to do with free trade, the british vote for enormously. you are right. if britain voted to come out, philosophically, it i

like those organizations, britain's membership of the e.u. gives us a powerful tool to deliver on the prosperity and security that our people need and to stand up for the values that are countries share. now i think is the time to stay true to those values and to stick together with our friends and allies in europe and around the world. thank you very much. barack. president obama: as always, it is wonderful to be here in london. and to meet with my good friend, david cameron. i confess i have also come back to wish her majesty, the queen, a very happy 90th birthday. earlier today, michelle and i had the honor to join her majesty and his royal highness the duke of edinburgh as their guests, where we reconveyed the good wishes of the american people. i have to say i have never been driven by a duke of edinburgh before. [laughter] and i can report that it was very smooth riding. as for her majesty, the queen's been a source of inspiration for me. she is truly one of my favorite people. should we be fortunate enough to reach 90, may we be as vib

so a lot of the argument nas we have before are not over in fwrees, and will britain withdrawing from the eurozone bring more problems? >> those are not going away, simon. thank you. >> two big techs struggling, microsoft and alphabet two of the worst losing 2 billion in market cap. and now, we will go the press conference with president obama and david cameron in london. we will go there live when he begins speak iing. live in a moment. >>> good morning, everyone. i'm sue her rera, and here is t cnbc news update at this hour. president obama meeting prime minister cameron at 10 downing street earlier today. the two leaders are discussinging the campaign against isis and russia and the ukraine. and also on the agenda the withdrawal of britain from the eu, and the president is encouraging them to stay in the bloc. >>> there have been a dozen fatalities in ohio where criminal investigators have been sent to pike county, but no word on the number of fatalities or if anybody is in custody. >>> uber has agreed to pay $9 million to settle cases in california and massachusetts and it is revo

i want britain to be as strong as possible. and we draw our strength are from all sorts of things as a country, fifth largest economy in the world, andm maizing armed forces and amazing security and intelligence services and how well they work together, an incredibly talented people and brilliant universities and the fact that yes members of the g 7 and the g 20 and the commonwealth and the fact that we project strength and project value and project our people, and make our country wealthier and our people wealthier by being in the european union, and so i want britain to be as strong as possible, and the stronger britain is, the stronger the special relationship is and the more we can get done together to make sure that we have a world that promotes democracy and peace and human rights and the development that we want to see across the world, and so to me, it is simple, a stronger britain and stronger special relationship is in our interest, and in the interest of the united states of america as well. >> well, let me start wit

>> all right, thank you. >>> britain has issued a warning to citizens traveling to the u.s. over new laws in the south that critics say discriminate, like north carolina's law governing which bathrooms transgender people must use. president obama in the uk today slammed that law. while donald trump is raising eyebrows with new comments about the controversy. nbc's halle jackson has more on all of this. >> reporter: after a warm welcome in england, president obama promising the same to british gay lesbian travelers heading to mississippi and north carolina, after the uk warned of new laws seen by lgbt advocates as discriminatory. >> the laws that have been passed there are wrong, and should be overturned. >> reporter: the president weighing in overseas on what's become a political firestorm here at home. >> guess who's joined the ranks of the pc police. >> reporter: ted cruz in a new online video taking aim at donald trump's criticism of a bathroom ban in north carolina. >> this is not a reasonable debate over public policy. this is political correctness run amok. >> reporter

europe does, and britain does. britain has a huge number of pakistanis, a lot of them well-heeled, but they have overtime before this refugee crisis faced some terror challenges with britain. i would argue, and the far right governments are not related to disaffected minorities. i think there is a latent anti-semitism coming back in europe, and europe is not prepared for it. the eu experiment, which is a great idealistic experiment, was not built on a solid enough foundation of mechanisms to resolve problems of financial problems, control refugee flows. the schengen system of open borders is a beautiful thing except when it isn't. , john micklethwait: to me, i think there is one selection of things which are pretty much the same on both sides of the atlantic, and that is the general sense of frustration that jane was talking about earlier. people waiting for le pen in france and trump in america, and they typically feel they are being left behind by the world. they are not keen on the new global world which is happ

or britain anyone. i want to ask you from the british perspective what extent can obama make a difference and how trickly is it easiest to for the pride to tell the britts which way they should be voting. >> many people see obama going there is one of the better cards because it's a reminder from the american pointed of view it's basically much better for britain to save the european union. that's where america as a whole there might be individual disagreements but on the whole that's where they want britain to be. showing unusual canniness jumped ahead and didn't wait for obama to came in who is the main politician on the exit side. he came out quite strongly saying this is fine obama, massively hypocritical america anywhere has always been the place that stresses the importance of individual sovereignty. this is all about sovereignty. by doing that actually strangely i think he actually managed to sort of fire something into obama before he arrives. the obama effect would be less and i never pre-predi

and i believe that, if britain leaves the european union, you will see britain significantly overtaking germany as an economic force in europe. and, let's remember that the refugees coming into countries like germany today, once they become german citizens after a period of five years, they will have the right to move over to the united kingdom and other european countries. so the refugee issue in germany, which is largely a self-made crisis i think on the part of angela merkel here, those refugees will have the rights then to move to the united kingdom. that is going to be a big factor as well in this "brexit" referendum. just out of time here but with regard to the future of u.s. policy towards europe, i would hope that the next u.s. president will embark on a fundamental review of america's traditional backing for the european project. we need a new u.s. approach to europe based upon support for national sovereignty and nation states and america has no interest in backing the creation of a european superstate. and i i don't believe such superstate is in the interests of european coun

as germany, france, or great britain. certainly, in terms of day-to-day interaction of high-level u.s. diplomats, more important than the midsized or smaller eu member states. this is an amazing thing. one of the u.s.'s most important partners is something that is not a country with a government that is not a government, a foreign minister who is not a foreign minister, a diplomatic corps that is not a diplomatic corps, with all of these elements making and implementing foreign policy on behalf of an organization that no one has ever been able to define in a way that everyone can agree on. so, that is my overview of the eu. the eu is different from anything that has ever existed before in the world. what is at the root of all of this? how did this strange new thing called the eu come about? that brings us to the second topic, the transatlantic clash of visions between the u.s. and eu. this is a complex topic, of course, but americans must understand that the eu and u.s. have different versions of the world. the u.s. visio

will britain and i think this issue will come to dominate more. will britain dominate in or out? they'll say the government is scare mongering people saying the country will be poorer when it leaves but we heard president obama saying the same things. if britain leaves, it will be poorer, it will be better off economically if it stays in. and that may yet to prove to be the pocketbook issue. the most decisive issue as people go to vote, jake. >> indeed, but also said the emotional ties, the cultural and intellectual ties will remain, of course. michael weisz, cnn contributor and author of the big "isis: inside the army of terror" what did you hear from the two leaders when it comes to the fight against isis? when it comes to the stronghold isis is gaining in libya? >> well, i think the u.s. and great britain are the most aligned on this issue. a lot of foreign fighters that have come to join isis came from the united kingdom. i've seen the problem that britain has with radicalization and isis in one of its latest propaganda videos literally put a bull's eye or targeting site supe

if britain leaves the european union, britain is less powerful, but so does america. he thinks britain should stay in and giving his reasons why. that will be a big talking point on downing street when he meets with david cameron and before that he has lunch with the queen. as you know, christine, we never get any sense of those conversations. clear she doesn't want to get involved in the politic. >> the vote coming up in june. for those who are arguing that england and britain should leave the european union. their rationale is what? >> reporter: their rationale is a huge amount of money is paid into the european union. that could be used for hospitals and schools. pressure on public services in the united kingdom, but also sovereignty. that is why this is significant because the queen represents britain's sovereignty. it can survive on its own. it play nooss into the debate o immigration and freedom of movement without europe. many ending up with england which britain cannot house. >> what a fascinating existential debate. the president weighing in. i know you will

heroic, for britain britain to be alone amongst friends in 2016 would be absurd. i noticed the campaigners argue that we would somehow be liberated and would be able to influence things. i am not understanding the part of the rhetoric. what is that supposed to mean? was going to be influenced in a way that they are not being influenced by the united kingdom at the moment. the potential candidates, the united states has made clear they do not want britain to leave because they see her role as part of the e.u. as important to them as well influencing the european union position. but the old commonwealth a new commonwealth take exactly the same view. they went the united kingdom in the you you, not outside of it, not devote more time if we're outside. the only people that would rejoice at the russians. and perhaps others like the russians they want the fragmentation of europe and they see this as the first major step. let. let me conclude because i know time is short. but just in one final thing. the world is becoming, as we all know global. the big decision over the

in support of both resolutions, britain and france abstained. britain actually increased weapons sales to portugal so it could respond more effectively to the rebellion. as tension threaten the western alliance, fractures surfaced in the kennedy administration. the secretary of defense and state, supported by the state department's european division emphasized portugal's importance to nato. during the kennedy years, three quarters of american military traffic to your in the middle east passed through portugal airbase. africans in the state department and the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. vehemently disagreed. convinced that portugal's entrance events could lead to transcendence, they banned the portugal use of military quitman in africa -- equipment in africa. military aid was only for nato purposes and only in the areas prescribed by the nato treaty. no part of africa fell within these boundaries. washington also began to support the portuguese political opposition. young middle level army officers nationalist, hoping to turn the latter away from

june -- eu leave in will britain leave the eu in june? well germany pulled back from the jury of the european political union? will the cultural and political challenges of radical islam strengthen or weaken the eu? what does the future of the eu mean for the united states and the transatlantic alliance? we will be trying to answer those questions this morning. the european union represents a new form of governance beyond the nationstate in general and beyond the democratic nationstate in particular. before we get started i will quote three european leaders from the left, right, and center -- who after world war ii were concerned -- before charles de gaulle and margaret thatcher voiced their resignations, they were concerned about the future of democracy in an integrated europe. tom the left in opposition the creation of the poland steel communion, clement atlee declared that rigid "would not accept the most vital economic forces in our country should be handed over to an authority that is utterly undemocratic and responsible to nobody."

britain. you straddled both worlds very well. what do people think in britain about the american republican race right now? >> i think they had sort of a sickly horror. they're gripped by it. trump had a golf course in scotland. well, he has a golf course in scotland. there were moves to try to deny him a visa to visit britain. he is sort of half seen as -- his mother was born in scotland and he is half seen as local so people feel the right to despise him more than if he were nonbritish. >> that is so british. thank you all very much. in recent years in america, about 34,000 people are killed by guns, another 34,000 are killed by traffic accidents, but a stunning 46,000 were killed by drug overdoses in 2013. when we come back, global and local lessons about what to do about health. hey! this is lloyd. to prove to you that the better choice for him is aleve. he's agreed to give it up. ok, but i have 30 acres to cover by sundown. we'll be with him all day as he goes back to taking tylenol. yeah, i was ok, but after lunch my knee s

does he believe it will lessen britain's position in the world? does he think a good destabilize europe financially? he will not tell the people of britain how to vote, but they will not be left in any doubt about how he thinks. both lead campaigners say that whatever president obama thinks, whoever succeeds him in the white house will want the relationship to continue unhindered. >> we want the bill to work. we are the world's second-biggest economy, a crucial ally in nato, and we need to ensure we are all actually safer, and i think it will make no difference if britain is outside the european union. america will adapt to the new reality, as we will adapt to whatever new administration arrives in washington. reporter: a close bond has been built between these two men, but it has not always been easy. the president has been blunt over david cameron's role in libya, and harsh words were also exchanged one cameron looks like he was about to cut his defense spending. but the prime minister will to -- will want the president to be as forthright as po

number one, he won't be there if britain decides to leave. that will not be involving him put his successor. i think he was undermined by this argument that he is asking to have its laws overruled by foreign courts. it has its finances largely determined by the european commission. the united states would never in a million years except any of those. he's talking from a trade point of view. he is the leader of the free world. he says you will be worse off. it won't take much longer. i don't believe that. francine: he's saying it's the truth. liam: he is saying it. just because a politician says it it must be the truth. trigger towill be get it through with 27 other countries to get a bilateral agreement with the u.k.. after trading volumes and values are much the same. when you look at the lack of progress, the fact that any of those 27 countries can stop the process, the united states would not want to have a balance with its trading partners as a political lesson. i just don't think it's realistic. finance: the french minister says look, if

at the g8 in northern ireland and britain was in the chair of that organization. we set the agenda for what could be. a game changing trade deal for jobs and investment, because we were part of this organization. i wanted to add those important points. a u.s. question. >> >> thanks mr. president. what do you hope leaders gather in germany and can concretely do isut it? do you expect nations to militarily support the possibility of ground troops to keep that situation from further straining europe? you can talk about whether you plan to go to hiroshima when you visit japan. president obama: come on, man. that is unfair. >> as a friend and speaking on the sleek, what would you advise american voters to do about donald trump? >> i will pick up that last one. hobo banning i wouldn't describe european unity as in a crisis. but it is under spring. some of that has to do with the aftermath of the financial crisis and the strings we are all aware of with respect to the eurozone. it is important to emphasize that the u.k. is not part of the eurozone. so the blow back to th

right now, you've got some news 'sr us about britain struggling steel industry? reporter: good news, actually. jobs appear to be saved as thebull capital bought european long products business for what it describes as a nominal fee. the business will be rebranded as british steel. staff will be asked to accept a temporary pay cut. last month, the indian-based company said it was pulling out of its british operations. the company has been under pressure to find a buyer. they will now turn to wales, where the u.k.'s largest steelworks is. they will consider co-investing with an outside buyer, but they will not nationalize it. of peopleousands whose livelihood depends on that plan, there is more at stake than just steel. our correspondents have been visiting port talbot. reporter: an industry that build an empire. the future of british steel is under threat. port albert. most customers in this cafe work plants. if the furnace is here are allowed to go cold, the local economy will, too. >> there is nothing else in the area for us. just for everything. reporter: natio

i want britain to be as strong as possible. the stronger britain is in the special relationship is, and the more we can get done together, to make sure we have a world that promotes peace, democracy, and human rights, and development we want to see across the world. to me, it is simple. .tronger relationship that is in our interest. pres. obama: let me start with winston churchill.

i want britain to be as strong as possible. we draw our strength from all sorts of things we have in the country. fifth-largest economy in the world. you were discussing how well they work together. incredibly talented people. brilliant universities. the commonwealth. we project strength, power, and protect our people and maker country wealthier by being in the european union. i want to pretend to be a strong as possible, and the stronger britain is, the stronger the special relationship is and the more we can get done together to make sure we have a world that promotes democracy and human rights. to me, is a simple, a stronger britain, a stronger, special relationship. that is in the interest of the united states of america as well. mr. obama: let me start with winston churchill.

britain will vote on whether to leave the european union. the official campaign kicks off in less than 24 hours and it is likely to be a tight race, but how do other europeans feel about it? dw commissioned a survey of german attitudes toward a brexit and here is what we found out. first, we asked whether they personally wanted the u.k. to stay in the eu. overwhelmingly, 78% of germans say they are for the brits to and. only 13% are against. next, we asked if they thought the u.k. would vote for a brexit. the result here was much closer with 47% saying they thought they would not. 38 percent said they thought they would vote to leave. answers to our list question about the effects on the economy are revealing that just 2% said europe would be economically better off if the u.k. left. 36% said the eu would be worse off. 53% saying there would be no difference. to help us rake down these results, we have our parliamentary studios on the story for rest tonight. the germans want britain tuesday and this family. is this about love for the u.k. or

in pressuring britain to leave. distrustful of nasser, the eisenhower administration was unwilling to jeopardize its relationship to the britons and refused to provide military assistance, even after israel using french equipment attacked bases in the gaza strip. i don't know how well you can see this from back there, but this is a photograph of some of the participants in the conference from 1955. pictured along with the chinese representative and the liberian and ethiopian representative. next, these are the founding fathers of the nonaligned movement, nehru, ghana, egypt, indonesia, and yugoslavia. naser was right in there in the thick of things in the 1960's. -- in the 1950's and early 1960's. meanwhile, at the conference in april, 1955, naser helped formulate the philosophy of neutralism and nonalignment. that was embraced by the african continent. convinced that nonalignment was really a facade of reorientation toward the east, the united states rebuffed those associated with the movement. while many were cour

they want to keep britain's budget in because it
