Sometimes a lot of the day in the hour, but my message is for them to maintain the momentum and help in coordinating efforts for reconciliation. We need more and more and more reconciliation. We need to, you know, invent proposals and initiatives and that will be the key for unifying libya and for reaching peace. Thank you. Thank you. Jonathan. Thank you. I know it will be much better for me to wait until president clinton or President Trump takes over and leave them with the libyan problem and divest myself of it. That would definitely be better for my physical and psychological wellbeing. Theres no doubt about it. Im not sure it would be better for libya to wait, including on the issues we talked about. Dont do things until you know what the results are going to be. Be very, very, very afraid. Not just very, very careful. Sure. I love omelets. I eat omelets. I hate breaking eggs. I wont let you break eggs. I dont like egg beaters. Its not a very satisfactory set of formulations. Daes
My 25 is frwife is from india. I still love india. Be careful yeah. But and india has enormous potential and capability. But i have to, again, simply say india has a great capacity also for disappointing. It lumbers forward like an elephant and it also operates on its own strategic agenda.

We showed literally tens of thousands of americans were hiding their income and their. Ssets overseas illegally a lot of them in swiss banks. We went after a lot of swiss banks aiding and abetting american taxpayers to avoid paying taxes.

Where you have assad in one corner, and daesh in the other corner, the worst possible outcome in terms of terrorism, the worst possible outcome in terms of refugees, and the future of syria. Diana johnson i am sure that the Prime Minister is looking forward to visiting hull next year, and as the uk city of culture, we are already backed by many prestigious organizations like the bbc and rsc. But we could do much more to make this a Real National celebration of culture.
