Philip Hammond admits to being "fairly cautious" and says that sort of attitude to politics has emerged because of the 24-hour news cycle.

And the programme wraps up with a piano performance from Noriko Ogawa.

Asked if he sees himself as a future prime minister, Philip Hammond says "absolutely not". He says he is committed to getting David Cameron back into 10 Downing Street "without his little helper" - presumably Nick Clegg, not George Osborne.

We are working with "likeminded" partners to reform the rules, Philip Hammond says on immigration in the EU. He says the UK is not the only country with concerns. People must be coming here to work, he adds.

People want to see a reduction in the numbers of people coming to the UK, Philip Hammond says. Our partner nations acknowledge there is a problem and are willing to work with us on the issue, he says.

On the EU, Philip Hammond says he "wouldn't be comfortable leaving the EU". Continued membership is a vital component of Tory plans. But we can only do that if we get a deal that is fit for purpose, he adds. It must be reformed to deliver for our agenda.

On Boko Haram, Philip Hammond says he has seen the group as part of the Islamic extremist movement for some time. Their declaration of support for so-called Islamic State does not change things on the ground, he adds.

On Iraq, Philip Hammond says the assault on Tikrit is down to the Iraqi government to deal with. The UK will offer support, but the Iranians are also helping, he adds.

Philip Hammond says David Cameron is "passionate" about our armed forces. But he says difficult decisions need to be made in spending. He says the prime minister isn't prepared to see further cuts to the size of the regular armed forces.

We will have a review at the start of the next Parliament and set out our plans then, Philip Hammond goes on. He says the government is committed to the 2% figure now, but won't say whether that will continue.

On defence spending, Philip Hammond - a former defence secretary - says we are spending 2% of GDP on defence just now. We are the second largest defence spender in Nato, he adds. But he won't commit to doing the same in the next Parliament.

We believe the countries liberated from Russia should be able to choose their own paths, Philip Hammond says. But President Putin has another view, he wants them in his sphere of influence.

"We are not going to fight the Russians in Ukraine" says Philip Hammond. "We have been very clear about that." But he says incursion into the Baltic states would mean Nato articles would be enacted - although he doesn't say explicitly it would mean military action.

On arming Ukraine, Philip Hammond says international boundaries must be protected. We will keep things under review, he says, but are already providing a lot of non-lethal support.
