Cameron resolve over spying dispute with US

France and Germany have called for talks with the United States by the end of the year to try to resolve a dispute over alleged US spying.

The move comes following a number of allegations against US intelligence agents including the bugging of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's phone.

Prime Minister David Cameron acknowledged the UK's "unique partnership" with the US regarding security but said: "I understand what others want to do and support that, as I think does President Obama".
