Gordon Brown's review of UK's counter-terrorism strategy (5mins 55s) (http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-725148451998499591&q=Gordon+Brown%27s+review+of+UK%27s+counter-terrorism+strategy&total=1&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0)
90-day detention without trial was defeated in 2005, but Brown recently argued for 56 days: "There may be some circumstances in which detention beyond 28 days could be necessary."
Nick Robinson: "He talked of concensus but it's clear that his mind is made up."
Brown also reveals that they "will establish a unified border force." Tory MP David Davis: "new uniforms does not make a new force" and he then calls for "new powers, possibly new resources, a new organisation and it must involve the police."
BBC Home Affairs Correspondent Daniel Sandford: "Today the Prime Minister outlined a Brave New World in which technology and tougher enforcement of our borders will help fight terrorism. ... The first line of defense wil be biometric visas. Anyone who needs a visa to come to Britain will be fingerprinted. On top of that, any foreign national staying for more than 6 months will need an ID card. ... The ambition is to harden Britain's borders, creating a uniformed presence here where people first arrive, and a unified border force, combining the woks of Customs and Immigration."
Talking about the detention without trial, a lawyer says "many days past in which there were no interviewee at all, and so it does seem as though the police have adjusted the pace of the investigation to the time that they know that they have."
