Good morning, everyone. Sorry about the delay but, you know, without a little problem, life is no fun, right . As some of you know, im a federal judge about two blocks away, and im reminded this morning this is deja vu all over again. Now, one could draw a couple of conclusions from this, and that is i did such a great job they asked me back, the other one is they had to find someone who was willing to get up on a saturday morning and do this. But i think the second explanation is really the best one, because were all readers, and we all love authors, and we just want to be here. So welcome. So starting at my right is the narrator of this mornings panel, pamela paul. Shes the editor of the New York Times book review and is also an author in her own right. She writes the popular feature buy the book and interview feature in the magazine. Every morning i and many other readers of the New York Times book review turn with anticipation to see which novelist, historian, short story writer or
Motivated by resentment and the sense of being put upon. And, you know those people really dont understand us. And heres a guy who does understand us, and hes going to stick it to em. And that happens on both sides. Hillary clinton will give her own version of that a kind of thing. And i dont think that was actually true 30 years ago. I mean resentment has always been part of politics obviously, but the degree to which its almost exclusively the motivating factor in truly committed republicans and democrats.

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
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
