TRANSCRIPT OF THE PRIME MINISTER'S BROADCAST OF FRIDAY 18 FEBRUARY 2000

Being Prime Minister is a difficult job but nothing's more difficult than being a parent.And there are fewer bigger worries when you are a parent than drugs.No matter how hard you try to bring your children up well, no matter how sensible and decent they are, we all of us worry.What if they fall in with wrong crowd? What if my kids get offered ecstasy at a party or a club? What if someone even offers them drugs at school? Heroin.Ecstasy.Crack.Cocaine.Lethal drugs with lethal consequences.Hard drugs that lead to addiction.Often after starting from so called softer drugs.These drugs ruin lives.They replace hope with despair, they tear families apart.They shatter communities.And they fuel, of course, we all know that, so much of our crime.It is estimated that at least half of all the property crime in this country is linked in some way to drugs.And it isn't just inner-city housing estates which are prey to drugs.There's not a community, from here in the centre of London to the most remote parts of our countryside, which is free from it.Not a parentthat doesn't worry.Not a family that is immune to the threat.So not just as a Prime Minister, as a parent too, we want to support hard working families and make sure that we engage in a real battle to combat the scourge of drugs in our society.We all know there's no single, simple solution.What's needed is a raft of co-ordinated measures to tackle this modern menace.Choking off the supply of drugs.Catching and punishing drug dealers.Breaking the link between drugs and crime.Treating properly those hooked on drugs.Educating our children about the dangers.Giving families every possible support.New laws are the crucial first step.We're taking new powers to test criminals for drugs.Mandatory testing of all prisoners.New powers to ensure convicted drug offenders are referred for treatment.New seven year minimum sentences for drug dealers.But we have to do more.Because no matter how effectively the police, or courts or customs operate, they can't win this war on their own.We've all got to play our part.That's what's behind the successful Metropolitan Police Rat on a Rat phone-line here in London and the other Crime Stoppers campaigns that are engaging members of the public in this battle too.Just to give you a couple of examples, in one case a grandmother got suspicious about the people next door.From her call to the confidential number, the police were able to bust a ￡1 million drugs factory.Or in another, vital information provided the missing details the police needed for a ￡3 million heroin seizure.Just two telephone calls resulting in that.In just two weeks calls to the London Rat on a Rat scheme increased from 70 to 2,000.Seven hundred drug dealers and users have been arrested since the scheme began.Initiatives like this are working successfully right across the country.So we have to do more.Not just in relations to courts involving the members of the public but earlier this week I chaired a meeting here in the Cabinet room with key Ministersthe former chief constable Keith Hellawell, police and customs, where a number of specific concrete ideas were presented which we can take forward.There's one immediate step that I can announceseizures of drugs up some 8% in year 1998, for which we have figures.We are also catching and punishing more drug dealers now.But there's a long way to go.If we hold our nerve, we carry on with the strategy, tougher punishment, better education, better treatment, better co-ordination across government then I am convinced we can get there.Thank you.

Transcript of Prime Minister's broadcast on educationbecause our future economic success and prosperity depends on it.In this new century, more than ever before, the raw material that counts is the talent and skills of our people.So to succeed, we need to make sure that everyone gets the chance to make the most of that potential.It's for these reasons that we made education our number one priority.And we have backed that pledge with record and sustained investment.It is investment which can only be afforded now and in future years because of the tough decisions taken to bring long-term stability to our economy.The importance of education to our children and our country is why I was so pleased this week to hear of the steady progress taking place in our secondary schools.The latest performance tables highlight the continued and welcome improvements in overall standards.It's particularly good news that we have seen better than average improvements in secondary schools in some of our inner-city areas.Many inner city schools now have programmes for bright children, extra staff to cope with those with problems and more backing to improve discipline.And they show how the policies that David Blunkett has targeted at those communities with some of the greatest problems, are paying off.But while I'm pleased that Government policies are playing their part in these improvements, the real hard work has been done by the pupils, parents and, of course, teachers.It's the thousands of dedicated teachers, day in day out in classrooms up and down the country, who are making the difference.And these results show just what can be achieved by committed teachers and their pupils, supported by effective national strategies and investment.The results also build on the dramatic improvements we have already seen in our primary schools.Here the introduction of the numeracy and literacy hours have helped teachers ensure their pupils have a better grip on the basics.So successful have these dedicated lessons provedthat we are now extending them to the early years in secondary schools.They will particularly help those children who leave primary school without reaching the standards in reading, writing and maths expected for their age.￡82 million more has been allocated by David Blunkett, whose leadership has played such a vital role in improving standards, to give secondary teachers the support and the tools they need to adapt the literacy and numeracy strategies for their pupils.Our secondary schools then can improve just like our primary schools.So, pupils, parents and teachers have real reason for pride.But there's no room for complacency.We need to keep improving standards.We need to keep working so that the standards in our best comprehensive schoolsbecome the norm.We've already greatly expanded specialist schools like this.Within four years, nearly 30 per cent of all secondaries will have a specialism in technology, languages, arts and sports.We need to keep working so that the progress witnessed in these schoolsthen help drive up standards across all secondaries.Pupils can't bring about these improvements on their own.Nor can teachers, parents or the Government.It needs us all to continue working together to deliver the results we want.It's important we succeed-for the future of our children and for our country.

FRIDAY 30 JUNE 2000

In a few week's time, Gordon Brown will announce to Parliament and the country the Government's spending plans for the next three years.I can't, of course, reveal the details here.But I can say that this Comprehensive Spending Review, as it's known, will deliver sustained extra investment to continue modernising and improving our key public servicesand be confident we can deliver it over the next three yearsthe lowest at the present time in the whole of Europeat least in partand particularly the scandal of long term youth unemploymentnot on the basis that we're planning to do it which is sustainable increases, year after year after year.The first responsibility of any Government is to run the economy competently.It is the first responsibility because it's the foundation on which everything else is built.And I promise it's a responsibility this Government will carry out.And we'll carry it out because otherwise the good things we want to spend money on, the public services we need, the facilities and help that people want, simply can't be provided.There is a new economic policy in this country today.It's a foundation of economic stability and sound public finance, and built on that are strong public services.We intend and will do both.

第五篇：英國首相布萊爾在清華圓桌會議的演講稿

英國首相布萊爾在清華圓桌會議的演講稿

PRIME MINISTER: Thank you, and it is wonderful to be here in Tsinghua University, thank you so much all of you for coming out to say hello to me.I just wanted to say a couple of things by way of opening and then you can ask me questions, and you must feel free to ask me any questions that you want to ask.It is a dangerous thing for me to say, but nonetheless, you do that.The thing that is amazing today is that the UK is now the number one destination for overseas students from China.We have got double the number of Chinese students as the United States of America.I like that.And that is a measure of how much collaboration there now is between universities like Tsinghua and universities in Britain.And one of the main universities is the London School of Economics, and my wifeshe went to the London School of Economics, she went to the London School of Economics and she got a better degree than I did.So the thing that has impressed me most from being back in Beijing is just the amount of change in China, and I think for the future the relationship between my country, the UK and China is going to be very important.Because the amazing thing is that in the first six months of this year, even with Sars and the problems that you had here, you had a growth rate of 8%.In the next couple of decades you will become the number one economy in the worldabout 90I am sorry to say that.Until now there is no hard evidence to show that Iraq has the weapons of mass destruction, and the British press say that your worldwide tour is just a disguise of your diplomatic mistake.So I really want to know, do you think this time, at this tragic time, in your political career, and how do you feel? Have you ever regretted making the decision to start the war? 同學：

布萊爾先生，早上好，歡迎你到清華大學來。謝謝你的演說，我的名字是陸婭楠，我來自新聞傳播學院。現(xiàn)在當我們想到英國，我們會想起伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭，會想到凱利的悲劇，我很不情愿提到這些。到目前為止，還沒有足夠的證據(jù)能證明伊拉克有大規(guī)模殺傷性武器。你覺得這個時期，是不是你政治生涯中最嚴峻的時候？你是怎么想的？你對發(fā)動戰(zhàn)爭有沒有后悔過？謝謝。

QUESTION: I am from the School of Economics and Management.I feel a great honour to be here.You once remarked to the US Congress that Britain would be part of a changing Europe.My question is, if Europe refused to change in a British way, will Britain remain part of it? 同學：

早上好，首相先生，我是楊偉，來自經(jīng)管學院。我今天能夠在這里感到非常地榮幸。您曾在美國國會上說，英國會參與改變歐盟的活動。我的問題是，如果歐盟拒絕按照英國提倡的方式來做，英國還會是歐盟的一部分嗎？謝謝。QUESTION: I am from the Department of Electronic Engineering.Mr Blair said...years ago that part of your work is to keep the media in check.Is this true? Don't you think it is a...of a free press? 同學：

早上好，布萊爾先生。我的名字是何凡，來自電子工程系。前幾天你們對有關的媒體進行監(jiān)管，這是事實嗎？你不覺得這是違反新聞自由的行為嗎？謝謝。

PRIME MINISTER: There is the British media out there, and they may have been thinking all the questions were going to be very easy questions for me, but I would say the first three questions have been very testing questions.So if I have been trying to keep the media in check, I think I have failed really on that.And I think the questions that you ask are important, because it is important that the media, and also people, are entitled to ask the difficult questions of politicians.And one part of developing politics in any country is the ability to question the political leaders.Now these guys out there, they are the British media and they ask me some pretty searching questions from time to time, and sometimes it is true, you get a little angry about it or you get upset by some of the line of questioning.But I still think, however difficult it is, it is always better that you are able to ask the politicians the difficult questions and therefore to answer them.OK? So I don't want to keep the media in check, but I do want the chance sometimes to explain what I think in the way that I think it.You see.And these two questions that you asked, one about the Iraq war and the weapons of mass destruction,and then about Europe, these are big and difficult questions in my country at the moment, but also for the world.And on the weapons of mass destruction, I have no doubt at all that Iraq was trying to develop those weapons.There is a group of people in Iraq now who are looking both at the programmes and at the weapons themselves, the evidence of the weapons and the evidence of the programmes, and that group of people have just begun their work, and when they come to make their report on their work we will be able to see what they have uncovered, and then people will see what the truth is.So that group is in there now, they are called the Iraq Survey Group, they will be looking both to interview the experts and witnesses that worked on the Iraq programme, and also examining the sites for evidence of the programmes and the weapons themselves.And I think when that happens maybe we will have a more informed debate about this whole question.But you asked me whether I regretted the Iraq conflict.I have to say no, I don't regret it.I believe no matter how difficult it was, that it was the right thing to do.I also think, not simply in terms of the security of the world, but in terms of the suffering of the Iraqi people, it is better that they are rid of Saddam Hussein as their ruler, because he was a very cruel man who killed many, many thousands, hundreds of thousands of their people.And I think these questions are very difficult in the international community today, but I took that decision because I thought it was right for my country and right for the wider world, and I still believe that it was.So we have to in the end, as political leaders, stand by the decisions we make, and that is the position I took.In respect of Europe, that is a very good question, because it is part of the dilemma Britain has.Britain wants to be part of Europe, but it also wants Europe to change.Now what if Europe doesn't change? Well I think what is important is for Britain to go into Europe with the confidence that it can change in the way that we wish, because we can't separate ourselves out from the continent of which we are a part, and you know Britain is part of the European continent, and so I think it is important that we remain part of Europe, I think that is important for economic reasons and for political reasons.And when we were talking about China earlier, we said it was 1.3 billion.Even when we have the 10 new countries join the European Union, and there will be 25 countries in the European Union, even then we will only have 450 million people, compared with your 1.3 billion.So it is going to be vitally important for Britain to be part of that figure, bloc of countries.And so for us to separate ourselves from Europe I think would be a big mistake.So we can't be sure whether we are going to win all these battles in Europe, but I think we will, and I think it is important that Europe develops in a way that is open, that is engaged with the rest of the world, and I think it is important that Britain is part of the European Union.And even if it is unpopular and difficult, and it is sometimes in my country because some people don't like Europe, I still think it is the right thing for Britain to do, and again I believe as political leader, if I think it is the right thing then I should argue for it.布萊爾：

謝謝。我們可以看到英國的媒體就在那里，他們也許在想這個問題對我來說是非常簡單的。但我覺得前面三個問題非常有挑戰(zhàn)性，所以如果我想控制媒體的話，那我肯定失敗了。這上面的就是英國的媒體，有時候他們提的一些問題讓人很難過，有時候你會對一些問題感到非常氣憤或者很傷心。但我仍然認為無論多么困難，你們能夠?qū)φ渭姨岢稣蔚碾y題讓他們回答，這是非常不錯的。我并不希望控制媒體，我只想以我的方式表達我的觀點。你們剛才提到的兩個問題，關于伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭和大規(guī)模殺傷性武器，以及歐洲這些問題，無論對英國還是世界都是比較難的。對于大規(guī)模殺傷性武器，我可以毫無疑問地告訴你們，伊拉克是在發(fā)展大規(guī)模殺傷性武器。現(xiàn)在我們在伊拉克有一個專門的調(diào)查小組，他們正在做有關的取證工作，這組人剛剛開始他們的調(diào)查工作。當他們遞交他們的調(diào)查結(jié)果的時候，我們才能知道他們的發(fā)現(xiàn)，然后人們才能知道事實的真相。所以這個調(diào)查小組正在那里，我們稱之為伊拉克調(diào)查小組，他們將會采訪有關的專家和目擊者，而且他們會到現(xiàn)場去采集有關殺傷性武器的證據(jù)。如果殺傷性武器的證據(jù)成立的話，關于這個話題也許我們會有更多更為正式的討論。

你問到我對于伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭會不會感到后悔，我會說，不，我不會感到后悔。我相信無論有多么的困難，這是正確的決定。同時我也覺得這不僅是對世界安全的考慮，同時也是為了伊拉克苦難的人民。推翻薩達姆政權對伊拉克人民是有好處的，因為薩達姆是一個非常殘酷的統(tǒng)治者，他殘殺了無數(shù)無辜的人民。我覺得問題對當今國際社會來說也是很難的，我做出那樣的決定，因為我覺得這無論對于我的國家還是世界來說都是正確的。到現(xiàn)在為止，我仍然認為是正確的決定。所以作為國家的領導人，我做出了這樣的決定。關于歐洲這是一個很好的問題，因為這是英國所面臨的一個兩難的抉擇，英國想成為歐盟的一部分，但同時也希望歐盟做出改變。如果歐盟不改變的話，英國加入歐盟非常重要。并且我們相信，英國能以自己的方式去改變歐盟。因為我們不能把自己從歐洲分離出來，我們是歐洲大陸的一個部分，所以我們繼續(xù)保留作為歐洲大陸的一個部分。這無論在經(jīng)濟角度和政治角度考慮都是非常重要的。剛剛我提到中國有十三億人口，盡管我們有十個國家新近加入歐盟，現(xiàn)在歐盟共有二十五個國家。盡管這樣，我們也只有四億五千萬人口，而中國一個國家卻有十三億人口。所以英國作為歐盟各國里面的一部分這是非常重要的。我覺得把英國從歐盟里面分離出來是個重大的錯誤，我不知道在改變歐盟的努力中英國能否成功，但是我覺得我們會的。而且我覺得歐盟應該保持開放，加強與世界其他國家的合作。我覺得英國作為歐盟的一部分非常重要，盡管有時這個觀點在英國很不受歡迎，有些人并不喜歡歐洲。但我覺得這是英國應該做的。并且我認為，作為一個政治領導人，假如我認為是正確的，我會堅持這么做。謝謝。

QUESTION: I am from the School of Economics and Management.I would like to turn to a question about education exchange.As you have just mentioned in your speech, the large amount of Chinese students who are right now studying in Britain.However, applying for a scholarship in a British university has always been too difficult.Moreover, as we know that most British schools will charge overseas students a very high tuition fee which is much higher than that of the local students.So we can't help wondering what are the main purposes for British schools to accept Chinese students to strengthen the cooperation between China and Britain in education, to bring more variety into the British campus, or mainly for the commercial purposes.同學：

謝謝，早上好。我是梁萌，來自經(jīng)管學院。我想問一個關于教育交流的問題，您剛才在演講當中提到有大量的中國學生在英國留學，然而在英國的學校申請獎學金是非常困難的，而且很多英國大學收取留學生的學費遠遠高于本地學生。所以我們在想，英國的學校錄取中國留學生的動機，是希望加強與中國的教育交流，活躍英國學校的校園？還是主要出于商業(yè)的考慮？謝謝。

QUESTION: I am a third year student from the School of Journalism and Communications.In the recent central...summit you mentioned that one country could invade and overthrow the government of another to liberate the people, and this issue was opposed by all other attending countries.So my question is, is there any solid foundation in the international law to support your issue? 同學：

布萊爾先生，歡迎您來到清華大學。我的名字是郝育倩，是新聞傳播學院三年級的學生。在最近的國家領導人峰會當中，您提到一國的政府可以入侵和推翻另一國政府的統(tǒng)治，來解放那里的人民。這個觀點被與會的其他政府反對。所以我想問您，您提出的這個問題有沒有《國際法》的充分支持？

QUESTION: I am from Tsinghua School.I would like to ask a more relaxing question.Your wife, Mrs Cherie, is a very successful barrister in Britain and it is said that her earnings are much more than the Prime Minister's salary.According to the Chinese traditional thinking, it is very important for the husband to earn more than a wife, it is a very important sector to maintain the family stability.So my question is, could you tell me something of your skills in balancing or harmonising your family relationships?

學生：

早上好，布萊爾先生。我是欒鵬，來自法學院，我想會問一些比較輕松的問題。眾所周知您的夫人切麗女士在英國是一個非常成功的律師，據(jù)說她的工資比首相的工資高得多。中國傳統(tǒng)的觀點認為，丈夫應該比妻子賺得更多，這是保持家庭穩(wěn)定非常重要的因素。我的問題是，您有什么技巧來平衡您的家庭關系？謝謝。

PRIME MINISTER: First of all, on the education exchange, well it is for all the reasons actually.I am not saying commercial reasons aren't a part of it, because the universities have got to be able to pay their way, but I think the main reason is educational exchange.Scholarships are difficult because we have got to fund them from government, and sometimes people will say to the government well you should be paying for our students, not paying for overseas students, so the scholarships can be difficult.But we are actually expanding our scholarship programme, and the fact that we have now got, I think in the last few years we have been hugely increasing the numbers of Chinese students, is an indication it may be difficult, but you are still managing to get there.So I hope, well you are from the School of Economics, that is OK.I don't know about the School of Journalism, I will have to think about that one.But you know I think educational exchange is going to be very, very important in the future, and I like to think as well that every time a student comes over to our country, when they go back I hope they are an Ambassador for my country back in China, or back in Russia, or whatever country they come from.And so we are trying to expand our university sector to take in more overseas students.So you apply for a scholarship and we will see what we can do.The second question, well I don't believe it is right that one country can just go and invade another country and liberate its people, I think liberation of people is a good thing, but it has got to be done according to rules.But the reason why we took the view that we did in respect of Iraq was because we had a United Nations resolution that said that Saddam Hussein had to cooperate with the United Nations inspectors, and he wasn't.Now there was then a disagreement in the international community, that is true, but it is worth pointing out that we have got back together again in the United Nations Security Council, and on the reconstruction of Iraq there is now a new United Nations resolution, so we are working on that with everyone else.But I understand the difficulty, and I think it is really this.People worry about countries thinking they can run other countries, countries thinking if I don't like that government I can go in and change it, and I understand, and that is really what is behind your question, because really what you are saying is you have got to be careful having a situation where if Americacomes in and says well I don't like this government, I am going to go and get rid of it.I agree, you can't have a situation like that.But I do think we need to think as a world about what happens when you get a country that is doing something very dangerous for the outside world and its own people, how does the international community respond? You see we have got a situation close to here with North Korea, which your countryyour government is trying to help resolve at the moment, and resolve it in a peaceful way.nuclear weapons programme.Now what happens if they simply say we refuse, we are going to carry on doing this, we don't care what the international community thinks.So there are difficult questions that arise.And if you look at China here, one of the things that is most amazing is the change, I can notice even from 5 years ago when I was last here, and people in China are getting better off all the time, their living standards are improving, their way of life is improving the whole time.But in North Korea these people are treated in the most terrible way.So yes we can't go and invade countries just because we want to, I agree with that, but on the other hand I think as the world moves closer together we have got to have some sense surely that a country can't just do whatever it wants, irrespective of the effects on the outside world or its own people.Now what we need are some rules in this situation, we need some law.I agree it is not right that if America decides this, or Britain decides this, or China decides this, then it just goes and does it.I agree, we need some rules in this situation, and that is what I was talking about in the American Congress, I was saying we can't just have a free for all where people do whatever they want, but on the other hand I think it is also true that as the world moves closer together, and as it matters more what countries do, because they can affect other countries, we can't just say a country behaves in a terrible way and we just let them do it.So that is the difficulty and we have got to try and resolve that with some rules and some laws that apply in those situations.My wife is smarter than me, which is one reason why she chose to go into the law and not politics.But I sometimes read about what she is supposed to earn, and I just wish it was true.But you know I think nowadays women should be able to earn the same as men, and more if they are better.Don't you think? This is what is going to happen.Look at all the women here.Some of you are going to be lawyers, aren't you? Yes.Right.So if you are lawyers and China develops you are probably going to be earning a lot of money.And you don't mind earning more than your husbands, do you? Come on, you have got to get liberated.No, I think it is all right.I think whether people earn more depends on their own effort and it shouldn't depend on whether they are a woman or a man, it should be whether they are good or they are not good.That is my view.布萊爾：

首先，關于教育交流，這有很多因素，商業(yè)的考慮也是其中之一，因為教育機構(gòu)也有開支。我覺得關于教育交流的問題是，最主要的原因是很難獲得獎學金，學校從政府那里獲得資助。有時候人們會跟政府抱怨，我們的錢是付給我們國內(nèi)的學生而不是其他國家的學生，所以留學生要獲取獎學金是很難的。實際上，我們現(xiàn)在正在擴大我們的獎學金。現(xiàn)在的情況是，在過去的幾年里，中國到英國的留學生大量增加。盡管在英國獲取獎學金很難，但是人們?nèi)匀粻幦〉接魧W。所以我希望，我們都讀經(jīng)濟學，我不是修新聞學的。我考慮在未來教育的交流將會非常重要，同時我也在考慮每個到來的學生，當他們回自己的國家，我希望他能夠作為代表英國的使者。當他們回到中國或者俄羅斯，無論他們來自哪個國家。所以擴大我們的招生，招收更多的留學生。所以你可以申請獎學金，我們會盡量考慮的。關于下一個問題，我認為一個國家到另外一個國家，去解放那個國家的人民是不對的。當然，我知道解放人民是件好事，但是這需要符合規(guī)矩。人們擔心一個國家想要去統(tǒng)治另外一個國家，那么如果一個國家不滿意另外一個國家的政府就去推翻它，這是你問題背后的邏輯。因為你問題的含義是，必須謹防陷于某種情況。如果美國，也許你指的是美國不滿意別的國家的政府，美國就會去消滅它。我同意，這樣的情況可能發(fā)生。但我覺得我們需要考慮，假如有一個國家它做的事情，對其他的國家還有本國的人民非常危險，國際社會會怎么反應呢？我同意，我們需要阻止這樣的事情發(fā)生，這是我在美國國會的時候提出的，我說我們不能單純地自由行動，人們不能隨心所欲。同時，世界更緊密地聯(lián)系著。一個國家的行動事關重要，因為它會影響其他的國家。我們不能說一個國家的行徑非常惡劣，我們就縱容它。所以要解決它是一個難題，我們可以運用很多法律和規(guī)則。

另一個問題，首先，我的夫人比我聰明，所以她選擇法律而不是政治。有時候我看見關于她的收入的報道，我希望這是真的。但是我想，現(xiàn)代女性應該賺得跟男性一樣多，而且越多越好。這是完全可能的。看一下現(xiàn)在這里所有的女性，其中一部分也會成為律師，是吧。你不會介意你賺的比你的丈夫多吧？這里的女士們，你會介意比你的丈夫賺得多嗎？你們都有賺錢的自由，人們賺錢的多少在于他們付出的努力，而不取決于他們是男性還是女性，而只能說明他們優(yōu)秀或者不優(yōu)秀。這是我的觀點。

QUESTION: I am from the School of Law, Economics and Management.Seven days ago during your visit to the USA, newspaper cuttings commented that the UK had become the 51st state of the United States.I want your views about that comment.學生：

首相先生，歡迎到清華來。我是趙曉東，來自經(jīng)濟管理學院法學系。幾天前，在您到美國的訪問中，有報紙評論說英國是美國的跟隨者，您是怎么看待這些評論的？

QUESTION: I am from the Computer, Science and Technology Department.Facing the tragedy of Dr David Kelly, you said that you had no intention of resigning over his death.Can you tell us frankly, what was your feeling when you heard the news on the plane to Japan, and how can you get through this political crisis and regain your people's trust?

早上好，首相先生，歡迎您到清華來。我是林楠，來自計算機科學與技術系。面對凱利事件，您決定不辭職。您能不能坦誠地告訴我們，當您在去日本的途中，聽到凱利自殺的時候，您當時的感受是怎么樣的？您將怎么處理這個政治危機，重新獲得人們的信任？謝謝。

QUESTION: I am from the China Study Centre of the School of Public Policy and Management.I will ask you a question about an Asian EU.Some Asian scholars are thinking about the creating of an Asian EU, like the European Union in the east and south east Asia.Could I have your opinion of this reality and your imagine of its influence? 學生：

謝謝，首相先生，我是高宇寧，來自中國研究院公共政策和管理系。我要問一個很專業(yè)的領域，一些亞洲學者討論在東南亞建立一個亞洲聯(lián)盟，就像歐洲的歐盟。您能說一下建立一個亞洲聯(lián)盟的可行性，以及您認為它會有什么樣的影響？謝謝。

PRIME MINISTER: On the 51st state, well that is what is often said by people who oppose Britain's strong alliance with the United States of America.And actually it is not true to say that we don't have our disagreements with the United States, sometimes we do.The Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change was an example of that.We are disagreeing with them at the moment over certain issues to do with trade.But I think it is important that Britain has a strong relationship with the United States because we are allies that have fought together in many difficult situations, not least World War II when we liberated Europe from fascism, and I am proud of our relationship with the United States and I am proud of the partnership that we have.But I don't think that we should see a strong relationship with the United States as the only strong relationship we can have.You see I think there are two views of the world today.One is a view where you have all sorts of different powers, different pools of power if you like, and they each compete with each other, or balance off with each other, so you have America here, you have Europe there, you have Russia there, you have China over here.I think that is a dangerous thing in today's world.I think it is better if we all come together in the same place, and I tell you why.Because if you think ahead in the dangers that we face, America is not going to fight China, China is not going to fight Russia, Russia is not going to fight Europe.My father fought in the Second World War, a state in Europe when the whole of Europe was fighting each other.In two World Wars in the 20th century millions of people died.And today Europe is at peace, it is one European Union.And I don't think the problem that the world faces is a problem of...between two nations, the problems that we face are problems to do with global terrorism and weapons of mass destruction in the hands of irresponsible people, I think they are climate change, I think it is economic globalisation, I think it is to do with how we extend development to the poorest parts of the world.But I think those challenges are best dealt with by nations working together.So we have a close relationship with the United States, but we are also part of the European Union.I would like a closer relationship between the UK and China, because I think how China develops in this international framework is going to be vitally important.So my thoughts of the world and how it develops is one where we don't break up into these different parts and then all compete against each other, I think that is 19th century politics.I think 21st century politics is about nations coming together on a common agenda.Now that means in my view, not that we come together simply on an agenda that America sets, but that we come together on an agenda that we set together.Which is why I was saying in my speech to the American Congress the other day, it is not just about terrorism, it is also about the Middle East peace process, it is also about poverty in Africa, it is also about climate change.So we can put these things together and we can work together, and I think that the path for Britain is not to be worried about our alliance with the United States, I think it is good that we have got an alliance with the United States, but I think we should be using that influence to try and bring the United States and other countries together on a common agenda that we are all happy with, that your leadership here in China is happy with, the European Union, the Russians, countries like India that are developing too.We have all got to get in the same place on the same agenda, and that is what we are working towards, because I think that is the best thing for people...I really do.First of all just let me say this, because I have been saying this to my own press in the last few days.This is a desperately sad time for the family of Dr Kelly, and his funeral has not been held yet and I don't want to say more about that situation.Except to say that there will be, as there should be in a democracy, a proper and independent inquiry into what has happened.And on the issue to do with Iraq and the Iraq war, which I really think is what is the nucleus, as I was saying to your colleague a moment or two ago, there is going to be, and is now in Iraq, a group of people that are going to look at the whole issue, interview the experts who worked on the Iraqi programme, and the scientists, and discover exactly what has happened to the programme and to the weapons, and I think it is best that people wait until they make a judgment, until we have the facts back from that group.And of course it is a difficult situation, but as I said to your colleague a moment or two ago, in the end in politics when you come to a big decision, particularly one as big as war or not, you have got to do what you think is right and I believe that what we did was right.Now I know that that won't be...with that, but that is what I believe and that is what I hold to.If Asia wants to join together in a bigger trading and political bloc, I think that will happen in time.Whether it is exactly like the European Union, I can't be sure of.But the one thing for sure, and it comes back to the point I was making earlier, the world is moving closer together.Asia will want to trade more, to work more closely together, and I think those types of collaboration are going to happen right throughout the world, it is happening in South America now with Mercosur, it is happening obviously in the European Union, but it is happening right round the world for very, very obvious reasons.The globalisation and the changes in the economy and technology are meaning that people have got to work closer together.So I think that these developments will continue and I think that if Asia wants to put itself together, whether like the European Union or not, I think that is a good thing and I am sure that in the end that is a development, a process of coming together that is going to continue.布萊爾：

首先，誰是第一發(fā)問者？哦，是你。人們經(jīng)常會問到，英國跟美國的強大聯(lián)盟。但是我們不能說我們之間就沒有分歧，有時候我們也會有不同意見，比如在政治，還有氣候變暖的問題上。在某些問題上，我們對貿(mào)易也有分歧。但我覺得英國與美國建立起強大的聯(lián)盟是有重大意義的。因為我們在一些非常困難的時刻聯(lián)手作戰(zhàn)。第二次世界大戰(zhàn)就不用說了，我們聯(lián)合把歐洲從法西斯手里解放出來。對于我們與美國的關系，我感到非常自豪，我對我們的伙伴關系感到非常自豪。但我并不認為與美國的良好關系是我們所能具有的惟一的關系，現(xiàn)在這個世界上有兩種觀點。有一種觀點認為，不同的國家他們互相競爭或者互相平衡，所以這里是美國，那里是歐洲，那里是俄羅斯，中國在這里。我認為在現(xiàn)今的世界上這種觀點是很危險的，我認為大家應該走到一起。我要告訴你為什么，假如您想一下我們現(xiàn)在的處境，美國不會打中國，中國不會打俄羅斯，俄羅斯不會打歐洲，在二十世紀的兩次世界大戰(zhàn)中數(shù)以百萬的人死亡。而現(xiàn)在歐洲處在和平當中，歐洲國家結(jié)成一個聯(lián)盟。我不認為現(xiàn)在世界面臨的問題是各國之間的戰(zhàn)爭，而現(xiàn)在面臨的問題是國際恐怖主義，大規(guī)模殺傷性武器，還有極少數(shù)的破壞分子，氣候變化、經(jīng)濟全球化，發(fā)展貧窮國家的經(jīng)濟。我覺得應付這些挑戰(zhàn)的方法，是各國人民的合作。所以我們跟美國有很好的關系，同時我們也是歐盟的一部分。我也愿意發(fā)展與中國更緊密的關系，因為我覺得中國的發(fā)展在國際上是非常重要的。所以關于怎么樣發(fā)展，我的看法是我們不要把不同國家劃分成不同的勢力，互相競爭，這是二十世紀的政治。我覺得二十一世紀的政治是各個國家聯(lián)合起來，制定一個共同的行動綱領。這意味著制定這個共同的行動綱領，并不是單純地由美國提出來的，而是我們大家共同制定的。這就是我為什么在美國國會提出這不僅僅是關于恐怖主義，同時這也關于中東和平進程。關于非洲的貧困，關于氣候的變化，我們可以把所有這些事情拿到一起共同去研究解決。所以我覺得英國的任務不是去擔心與美國的聯(lián)盟，我覺得我們應該跟美國保持良好的盟友關系，我們應該把這種影響擴大開來，推動美國和其他國家的關系，制定起大家都能接受的共同的行動綱領。中國的領導能夠接受，歐盟也能接受，俄羅斯也能接受，還有像印度這樣的發(fā)展中國家。大家都走到一起，制定共同的行動綱領，這是我們努力的方向。因為我覺得這對于將來的安全和和平至關重要，我堅信這一點。首先我要說的是，在過去的幾天我沒有在英國，凱利的死對他的家庭來說是個悲劇，而我不能給予他們幫助。我非常不希望更多地提到這個情況。我只想說希望他靈魂永存，希望他的家人節(jié)哀順變。在伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭當中惟一的問題是，正如我剛才對一位女生所說的在伊拉克有一個調(diào)查小組正在做全面的調(diào)查，采訪伊拉克武器專家和科學家，并且在做武器調(diào)查的取證工作。我想人們應該等到調(diào)查小組回來之后再做出結(jié)論，因為情況很困難。正如我剛才跟你們一位所說的，作為一個政治家，尤其當你要做出是否戰(zhàn)爭的決定的時候，你要按照你認為正確的方向去做出決定，并且堅信你的決定是正確的。我相信在這里肯定有人持不同意見，但這是我所相信的，也是我所堅持的。誰是最后一個，噢，如果亞洲想要聯(lián)合起來結(jié)成更大的非政治貿(mào)易組織，我覺得這是可能的，但是會不會像歐盟一樣，這點我不確信。但是可以肯定的是，就像我剛才所提到的，世界一體化的進程在加快，亞洲國家會加強相互之間的貿(mào)易和合作。我想這種合作將在全世界范圍內(nèi)發(fā)生，就像在南美洲和歐盟，并且在全世界范圍都會發(fā)生。原因是顯而易見的，世界一體化，經(jīng)濟和技術全球化意味著人們必須更緊密地合作。所以我覺得這種發(fā)展會繼續(xù)，亞洲國家應該加強合作，不管是不是像歐盟那樣，都是有意義的。我相信最后國家之間都會加快合作的進程。

QUESTION: I am from the School of Law.I have some question about big concerns from people around the world, especially of the fight against Sars, that is how to provide adequate healthcare for the poor people.My question is what do you think is the most effective way to solve this problem in Britain, and is it necessary to collect more money from the people and also have an option...In answer to the first question you said the research group in Iraq is still there carrying out their work and they still have no report on the research there.But what makes you believe that Iraq has a weapons programme there? 學生：

早上好，布萊爾先生。我叫田培杰，來自法學院。我要問的問題與SARS有關。人們有很多擔心，那就是怎么樣在全球范圍內(nèi)給貧窮的人群提供足夠的醫(yī)療保障。我的問題是，在英國，您覺得怎么樣才能有效地解決這個問題？謝謝。

QUESTION: I am from the International Relations Centre of the School of Public Policy and Management.It seems that Great Britain and China have experienced very friendly and co-operative relations during the past 50 years, but during the recent international incidents, such as the Iraqi war or the Kosovo issue, has brought some negative impact to the Chinese people, especially to some government officials, experts and also to our college and university students.So I want to know what is your comment on the past bilateral relations and what is your expectation for those two government to develop in this coming decade?

學生：

我有另外一個問題，我是胡薇薇，來自國際關系學院政策和管理系。我想要知道的是您對中英雙邊關系的看法，還有您對以后發(fā)展兩國關系有什么期望？謝謝。

QUESTION: I am from Journalism School.I have a question.As we all know the British Museum has the largest collection of Chinese antiques out of China.Sorry I feel really nervous, and I like your tie.學生：

早上好，布萊爾先生，很榮幸能夠把您請到這里來。我是徐博，來自新聞學院。眾所周知大英博物館有大量的中國文物，對不起，我感到非常緊張。我喜歡你的領帶。PRIME MINISTER: I like your shirt.布萊爾：

我喜歡你的襯衫。

QUESTION: Thank you.How did the Chinese antiques find their way to the British Museum? And it is reported that many Iraqi antiques have been stolen and robbed.Will these robberies and thefts contribute to the collection of the British museum? 學生：

謝謝你。如果有一天你的孩子問你，中國的文物怎么跑到英國博物館來，你怎么回答？據(jù)報道，伊拉克博物館的很多文物被盜竊，這些失竊的文物會對大英博物館的收藏有所幫助嗎？謝謝。

QUESTION: I am a graduate student of Journalism School.I am really impressed about your strong support for the educational and cultural exchanges between China and the UK, but recently I’ve got the news that some universities in the north-east of Britain have just ended the programme of Chinese culture and language.It is a pity.And those universities even include the prestigious University of Durham, and you just mentioned your father was there as a professor many years ago.And I also note you are an MP from that region as well.So do you think this change made by those universities will affect the Sino-British culture and educational cooperation.If not, what will you do about this? 學生：

布萊爾先生，歡迎你到清華。我是黃瑞，是新聞學院的畢業(yè)生。您對中英教育交流的支持給我很深刻的印象，但最近我看到一些消息說英國東北部一些大學取消中國文化和語言的專業(yè)，我感到非常遺憾。而這些學校里面，甚至包括知名的德姆大學，您覺得這些學校的決定會影響中英文化和教育的合作嗎？如果會產(chǎn)生這樣的影響，您覺得有什么解決的方法？

QUESTION: I am from the Automation Department.You are around my father's age and like my father.Would you tell me here honestly, like talking to your own children, that you never lied on the Iraq war?

學生：

早上好，布萊爾先生，我是涂國玉，來自自動工程系。您大概是我爸爸的年齡，你像我父親一樣慈祥。您能不能像您對您的孩子那樣老實地告訴我們，您在伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭當中沒有撒謊？謝謝。

PRIME MINISTER: Well now, what have we got? First of all Sars and healthcare.I tell you what I think are the two things that are going to be most important in healthcare in the next few years are first of all the fact that people are going to live much longer, and I think there is going to be increasing difficulty therefore in societies providing those people work for those people that are retired and will need a lot more healthcare.I can't remember the exact figures, but it is something like 70% of the beds that are occupied in the British healthcare system in hospitals are occupied by people who are over the age of 60.So that is one issue that is going to be driving healthcare.The second thing is going to be science and genetics in particular.Because what is going to happen with science, and Britain has done a lot of work, as you may know, on the human genome project, what is going to happen is we are going to be able to map out the likely path of illness for any individual, almost at birth, that will happen in the next few years, and we will also be able to treat through genetic means a lot more of the illnesses that people have.So many of the things to do with cancers and other things, there are going to be dramatic changes there.Now what does that mean? I personally believe that the way that we have organised our healthcare system in Britain has one great strength and it has got one weakness.Our great strength is we are organising it on a collective basis for all people, irrespective of their wealth.So it doesn't matter whether you are rich or you are poor, you get treatment in our National Healthcare system, and I think that is a good principle and I want to keep that principle.But I think the weakness of our system and where we have got to develop it is that we need to have a far more flexible system of how we deal with healthcare, so that you have all sorts of different ways of helping people, some of it may be through work that is done in local communities in primary healthcare, some of it will be done in the hospitals, some of it will be done in managing chronic diseases.But it is going to be delivered in a different way from before.So the way I would like to see our healthcare system organised is organised on a collective basis in the sense that everyone gets access, no matter how healthy you are, no matter how poor you are, but that we are using the new technology and the science that develops to make it a much more individualised system of healthcare where the individual person gets the healthcare treatment in the place that they need it，rather than trying to treat everyone as if we were still living 308 weeks, and we are going to reduce that even further and actually now nobody is waiting over 12 months, and the majority of people will get treated, 70% of the people are treated within 3 months.So there is a way to go, but we are getting there.And actually for people in Britain today, particularly I think for poorer people who need access to healthcare, they don't want us to get rid of the National Health Service, they want to keep the National Health Service, and I think that is important for the future.In respect of our bilateral relations, there will be disagreements, there was a disagreement over Kosovo and there was a disagreement over Iraq.But I think we can manage those disagreements and there is still an awful lot that we are doing together.So if you look at what is happening in the reconstruction of Iraq now, we have got a new United Nations resolution, that China has supported as well as other countries, and there will be a Donors Conference in October where I hope that China participates along with other countries.So there will be differences.We are never all going to agree in the international community, the question is how do we manage those disagreements.Do we fall out permanently, or do we say well we disagreed on this and now we have got to move on, and I think it is best to do it in that latter way.Where is the man that liked my tie? Yes, I think I know what you were meaning about the collection of Chinese antiques.I am sorry about that, I think that is something that happened in history quite a long time ago.But as for the Iraqi antiques, the museum was plundered in Baghdad, but actually they have managed to get a lot of those antiques back and the museum is going to reopen, and certainly none of them are finding their way to Britain, and what is more we have made it clear that any antiques that do find their way to Britain will be returned to the Iraqi people, so I think that is important.As for the educational programme, well obviously, since Steven here has been talking to me about it, I am going to have to go back and look at it.But universities, they may be doing it for all sorts of reasons, perhaps it is just financial reasons and difficulties that they have got, but that will happen from time to time.There is never enough money to do all the things that you want to do, but I can assure you that we will carry on welcoming Chinese students to the UK, and even if they can't come to the particular place in Durham, I am sure they can come to other places.What would I say to my children? What I would say to them is this, that in the end as a political leader you have got to take the decisions that you think are right, and those decisions are sometimes very, very difficult.But I believe passionately in relation to Iraq, we could not allow Saddam Hussein to carry on developing weapons of mass destruction, and don't be in any doubt that he was doing it, because we had 23 different United Nations resolutions about the very issue of Saddam and weapons of mass destruction.So please don't anyone here think this is something that suddenly was dreamed up by the Americans or the British, it was there, it was a serious issue.That is why the United Nations inspectors were in Iraq throughout the 1990s.They were then forced to leave at the end of 1998, it was why they went back in in November after the United Nations resolution.So I don't have any doubt about the threat that he posed, and I don't have any doubt either about the danger of that threat in the hands of a man like Saddam.It is difficult for people here just to appreciate this, but out of a country of 23 million, 4 million of its people were in exile-4 million of them were in exile.Literally tens of thousands of children used to die of malnutrition every single year, of preventable diseases, because of the way he ran the country.And to allow someone like that to carry on being a security threat to the world I thought was the wrong thing, so I took the action that I did.Now there will be people here, and I totally understand it, who disagree with that decision, and the difficult thing about being a political leader is that in the end you have to take the decisions that you believe are right and stand by them.And I took that decision that I believed to be right and I have to stand by that, and I get criticised by it, and that actually in the end is also important, because in my country, if the people disagree with me, they can put me out of office, they can vote me out and they can vote someone else in, and that is democracy.And so what you have got to do as a political leader in a democracy is you have got to say this is where I stand, that is what I believe.If you believe that, you can vote for me;if you don't believe it, you don't have to vote for me, you can vote for somebody else.Now I can't say more than that to you.I can only say that I took the decision that I believe was the right decision, and I think that in times to come people will look back on what has happened in Iraq and if we can make that country stable and prosperous and democratic, we can start getting peace in the Middle East, then removing Saddam Hussein will have been the starting point for change right across that region.Now I am aware, I agree, there is a disagreement, there is a disagreement between Britain and China about this issue.But in the end I have had to decide, as the British Prime Minister, what I think is right and do it.And if the British people disagree with it, they have got the right to say well we will put him out and we will put someone else in.Now that is democracy and it is important that every single person here thinks about that very, very carefully, because China is a country in a huge state of development and you want to develop in a way that is stable and secure because it is so important for the rest of the world.But when you are me, as the British Prime Minister, and you take

a decision as difficult as that, you have to take it on the basis that you think it is right and you have to stick by it, and I took the decision I thought was right and I stick by it.And that is what I would say to my children or anybody else's children.布萊爾：

第一個問題是SARS和醫(yī)療保障。我個人認為我們在英國的醫(yī)療保障體系有一個明顯的優(yōu)勢，也有一點不足。優(yōu)勢是我們建立起記錄所有人健康的每一方面的一個龐大的數(shù)據(jù)庫系統(tǒng)，所以不管你是窮是富，你都能夠得到國家醫(yī)療中心的治療。我覺得這是一個很好的系統(tǒng)，我們會繼續(xù)保持。但我們這個系統(tǒng)的缺點，也是我們需要改進的地方，那是我們需要有更為靈活的醫(yī)療保障系統(tǒng)。所以我們能有各種各樣的方法來幫助人們，有一些人可以通過本地社區(qū)和私人醫(yī)院，有些人在醫(yī)院里獲得醫(yī)治，而有些人則通過疾病控制中心。所以人們可以通過不同的方式獲得治療。關于中英雙邊關系，這是誰提的問題？我們是有分歧，問題是我們怎么去處理這些分歧。我們永遠從這些分歧中退出？還是說我們繼續(xù)合作，暫時放下分歧意見？我想這是我們能做的最好的方法。有位同學說他喜歡我的領帶，您指的是中國文物收藏，我表示遺憾，這是很久以前歷史遺留的問題。至于伊拉克留下來的文物，巴格達的博物館在伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭中被摧毀。但實際上人們會將把伊拉克的文物送回來，巴格達博物館也會重新開放。當然文物不會跑到大英博物館，有一點很明確的是，屬于伊拉克的文物一定會返回給伊拉克人民，這一點至關重要。誰問到關于教育交流的問題？學校做出的決定可能會出于各種各樣的原因，或者是財政困難，或者是其他原因，這是經(jīng)常發(fā)生的事情。沒有足夠的錢去運轉(zhuǎn)，沒有錢去做你想做的事情。但我可以向你保證，我們會繼續(xù)歡迎中國留學生到英國來學習。如果他們不能到某一個學校，他們肯定能到另外一個學校去。誰是最后一個問道我會怎么回答我的孩子？我想要說的是，作為一個政治領導人，你要做出你認為正確的決定。有時候要做出這些決定是很困難的，但我充分相信，在與伊拉克的關系中我們絕不允許薩達姆發(fā)展大規(guī)模殺傷性武器，毫無疑問，他是在發(fā)展大規(guī)模殺傷性武器。因為聯(lián)合國有二十三個鑒定認為，薩達姆在發(fā)展大規(guī)模殺傷性武器。這里還會有人認為這是英國或者美國虛構(gòu)的嗎？事實就是如此，這是很嚴肅的問題。這就是為什么聯(lián)合國檢查人員整個九十年代都呆在伊拉克，然后他們在1998年底被迫離開。但是在聯(lián)合國做出決定之后，卻在十一月又回到伊拉克。毫無疑問，薩達姆大規(guī)模殺傷性武器給人類造成極大的威脅。同樣的，無可置疑薩達姆大規(guī)殺傷武器給伊拉克人們造成的危險。這里的人絕對不會贊同薩達姆的做法。伊拉克有兩千三百萬的人口，有四百萬的人口被驅(qū)逐出境，每年有數(shù)萬的兒童死于營養(yǎng)不良和可以避免的疾病。所有這些都是因為他的統(tǒng)治所造成的。允許這樣的一個執(zhí)政者來擾亂世界安全，我認為這是錯誤的。所以我做出那樣的決定，我理解會有人不贊同我的決定，作為一個政治領導人的困難在于你必須做出你認為正確的決定，而且堅持你的立場。我做出了決定，我相信這是正確的，如果你也有同樣的信條，你可以支持我。如果你有不同的信條，你可以不支持我，你可以支持其他人。我不能說更多的了，這是我要對我自己的孩子以及別人的孩子要說的話。謝謝。

主持人：

這是一次與眾不同的對話。我想布萊爾愿意選擇這種圓桌對話的方式，是因為他希望在一種更平等、更開放、更輕松的氛圍當中和中國的學生來暢談中英兩國的往來和交流。布萊爾上任之后，讓曾經(jīng)跌宕起伏的中英關系走上了健康良性的發(fā)展道路。如今，闊別五年之后的再度訪華，讓人們對中英兩國全面伙伴關系更充滿了期待和信心。雖然說此刻布萊爾和清華學子的圓桌對話已經(jīng)結(jié)束了，但是我相信，在中英兩國之間，在民間、在政府更多的交流，更多的對話正在展開。好了，這里是《對話》，謝謝各位的收看。我們下周同一時間再見。
