UK prime minister rebuffs Argentina over Falklands 3 January 2013 Last updated at 10:46 Downing Street has strongly rebuffed a call by Argentina's president for the UK to return the islands. Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner had urged UK Prime Minister David Cameron to abide by a 1965 UN resolution to "negotiate a solution" over the area. But a spokesman for Mr Cameron said the people of the Falklands had shown "a clear desire to remain British" and their interests would be protected.
