Least. Foreign secretary, quizzing you . Thank you rngs foreign secretary. Do you agree that peace keepers will be needed in libya . And, if so, has the u. N. Government made any commitments . We havent made any commitments. Weve discussed on friday and saturday. I think we recognized in discussing this European Union that there would be a strong expectation that the European Union would take the lead in providing peace keepers. That is not to say a military force to subdue the warring factions. But more of the policing force to maine tan a peace that had been established. Libya is very much a step in business with roots through to the gulf of guinea, which is the source of many of these things. Its very much in europes interest to help to secure libya and ensure that the soit earn coast of the mediterranean is properly policed all the way along. So clearly theres some steps in the Peace Keeping force. All im saying is that i think there is a recognition across the European Union that
Weeks, the congress actively moving forward with its proposed sanctions bill could have an unpredictable effect on leadership opinion public opinion, in tehran. Just to set the scene then ill ask simon gas who is leading our delegation in the direct talks with the iranians to say something, but just to set the scene, there has been some movement over the last few weeks. We have seen some movement. There is reason for cautious optimism, signals coming out of tehran there is a desire to try to find a deal. But there is still difficult issues in which there is no movement at all. And you have to make heroic assumptions to get to the point where it is all agreed in the next two or three weeks. But i think compared to where we were when we left vienna in november, i think actually we have made quite significant progress over the last few weeks. But still very challenging. Well, firstly on the intervention, i think it cuts in both directions. You may have seen a spirited reply to the letter
Hypnotic state where the people with guns are basically running the country are going bankrupt. I think there is calls for some moderate optimism. But i wouldnt put it any higher than that. I dont think to be an expert on libya. But those who are tell me that the principle protagonists. If people are really fighting over territory and money and oil. It is easier to find solutions which divide the riches. And this is a rich country. So i would be moderately optimistic, but no more than that. Cautiously optimistic but there could be a chance of the government of national unity. I do think that the presence of isil in the country, the inevitability that there will be continued intervention that is able to deal with the problem itself. I do think those are helpful points of oppression on the sides of the civil war to think very hard about whether its in their collective best interests to try and resolve their differences and work together. Foreign secretary, can we turn to iran and the Nuc
Improving quality for health care. But to the extent we want it to happened to make sure the incentives are right but for decades they have not been aligned. There is an opportunity here to save Small Businesses a lot of money to grow more rapidly. Just very briefly defied the incentives. For years the primary symptom is that it is such a powerful point if you look at one mans cost or another mans revenues of the cost that you pay if you compare our performance versus other industrialized countries you spend 60 percent more than other countries but you dont see better quality measures or outcome so the incentives the opportunity to modify those incentives by the act and the contract being that it encourages is profound but what you see is hospitalization come down but that means they glad of business and that is a real challenge to say that is not a good thing but it can accommodate the extra volume with those spee mori efficient if they become more efficient than this model can work.
What would the path be . Straight line. You want it to be a Straight Line . But lets suppose we made an added provision that its gotta touch a line down below on the way. Now, its gonna go from a, touch the line, and back to b. What would the path be for the shortest time . It turns out to be shortest distance. Would it be like this . No. Would it be like this . Are there shorter paths . Answer begins with a y. Yes. Yep, okay. How about right exactly in the middle, huh . No, no, no, no. How about it . Right exactly in the middle and bend like this. Would that be the path of shortest time . It turns out the answer begins with a n. No. No. And it turns out, theres a nice technique for finding it. Let me go through it quickly. If you consider this, whip, boom, folded down, okay, folded right down. So its over here and call it b prime. I could ask you, guys, whats the shortest path between here and here, and you would all say what . A Straight Line. A Straight Line. In fact, you just go li
