00:02:43 Hey.
00:02:47 - - 1988.
00:02:51 of $15,000 to $50,000
00:02:54 voted 20% democrat, 48% republican.
00:02:56 In 1992 those same voters
00:03:01 versus 35% for bush.
00:03:03 Why?
00:03:06 Because we redefined ourselves.
00:03:10 We reached out to voters
00:03:11 who felt that the social
00:03:14 were selfish and uncaring
00:03:15 and convinced them that
00:03:18 wasteful tax-and-spend liberals
00:03:20 conservatives would have
00:03:22 So welfare... provide welfare
00:03:26 mandate job training,
00:03:28 and get them back off the dole.
00:03:31 The same with crime.
00:03:33 education, lack of education,
00:03:36 but be tough on criminals as well.
00:03:42 You're gonna have to listen
00:03:44 Don't keep coming at them
00:03:46 with ideas and language
00:03:49 It's a hell of a lot easier to
00:03:52 than to change what people want.
00:03:54 Policy is only going
00:03:57 If you guys are
00:03:58 the labour party back into power,
00:04:01 you're going to need to get
00:04:04 a bona fide, triple-a
00:04:06 vote-winning political superstar.
00:04:36 Monsieur le president.
00:04:37 Our prime minister, john major,
00:04:42 and my political
00:04:44 believe that they will
00:04:48 by expressing their
00:04:51 Well, not me.
00:05:20 let- I'm sorry, mr. blair...
00:05:22 Excuse me. excuse me.
00:05:25 Tony, that was terrific.
00:05:27 So good, I almost
00:05:29 I just got a confirmation
00:05:31 It's a yes for the washington trip.
00:05:33 - great! - meeting with the
00:05:36 reception at the british embassy-
00:05:39 A one-on-one with the man himself
00:05:43 With the full white house
00:05:45 But I thought leaders of the opposition
00:05:48 so as not to upset
00:05:49 - they are.
00:05:52 Well, it's obvious, isn't it?
00:05:54 They think you're going to win.
00:05:57 Have you seen my blue shirt?
00:05:58 - what? - have you seen
00:06:01 I can't hear you!
00:06:03 Well, they'll have to go to
00:06:05 if they have the stomach for it.
00:06:07 - have you seen my blue shirt?
00:06:09 - the pale blue.
00:06:11 Yeah, I'll see you at court 27.
00:06:14 10:15.
00:06:15 If I put it in the basket,
00:06:18 - take another shirt.
00:06:21 - then take another tie.
00:06:24 It's touching. I've not seen
00:06:27 - I'm not nervous.
00:06:29 I'm not sna...
00:06:33 The last time you
00:06:35 I seem to remember a slightly
00:06:38 Last time I went to washington,
00:06:40 - to nick their ideas. - no, to seek
00:06:44 Reshaping yourself more like.
00:06:46 You came back clinton hair,
00:06:49 Everything minus the
00:06:51 Why does his wife put up with...
00:06:55 Oh, tony, don't worry.
00:06:58 He'll love you.
00:07:03 Hopefully there'll be
00:07:05 I can get a bloody shirt done.
00:07:17 Good god. they're bringing us in
00:07:20 through the northwest gate.
00:07:22 - what does that mean?
00:07:24 the heads of state entrance.
00:07:25 As if you were already
00:07:30 - switch sides.
00:07:33 They'll open the door on the left.
00:07:35 You have to get out first. come on.
00:07:38 For goodness' sake.
00:07:41 - well, help, alastair.
00:07:46 I hope nobody saw that.
00:07:50 - comfy?
00:08:03 Thanks.
00:08:06 Good morning, sir.
00:08:08 Thank you. this is
00:08:10 - how do you do? - ... m
00:08:11 and jonathan powell,
00:08:12 Yes, we know.
00:08:20 First time in the white house?
00:08:22 - yes.
00:08:25 - a kick out of this.
00:08:27 Potus is still in the
00:08:30 - potus?
00:08:33 Ah. -
00:08:37 - heading
00:08:40 Will we have one of those?
00:08:42 On the ground floor now...
00:08:47 into the colonnade.
00:08:52 Not bad. 15 minutes late.
00:08:54 You must be important.
00:08:57 Okay, here we go, sir.
00:08:59 Straight ahead.
00:09:07 Be sure to ask him
00:09:18 Excellent.
00:09:29 I'm very glad we
00:09:33 I've always been straight with you, mr.
00:09:35 so when I tell you that we share the
00:09:39 I know that you'll believe me.
00:09:48 Secretary perry and I have
00:09:51 that will safeguard our security
00:09:55 as well as fulfill our
00:09:59 Japan has long been a
00:10:02 with the united states and nothing,
00:10:05 is going to jeopardize that.
00:10:08 Well, it's good talking
00:10:13 - mr. blair.
00:10:15 Welcome to the white house.
00:10:18 I have been following your
00:10:21 So you know we've taken
00:10:23 Quite a few pages, which I
00:10:28 Have a seat.
00:10:29 You know, we keep a pretty
00:10:33 and we think that the
00:10:36 And I thought a high-profile
00:10:40 might just help you
00:10:43 Because I believe you're
00:10:46 So what you've got to realize is
00:10:50 You can talk your way into office
00:10:52 but you're not going to stay
00:10:54 on the promise of your words.
00:10:57 Well, we've had 17 years
00:10:59 during which the country's
00:11:04 If labour does get in,
00:11:06 I'd like to make sure that
00:11:08 to get us back on the right track.
00:11:10 I think we're going to
00:11:13 Now don't get me wrong-
00:11:16 He's been great on
00:11:17 And when you're elected
00:11:19 that you continue
00:11:21 Oh, peace in northern ireland
00:11:24 I just don't think it's
00:11:26 to carry on with
00:11:30 If you need my help,
00:11:32 Thanks, I will.
00:11:34 And don't be surprised if you feel
00:11:37 when you do get into office,
00:11:39 because in all that
00:11:41 scrambling and fighting
00:11:44 no one briefs you on what
00:11:46 - - now you
00:11:48 I bet you're going to
00:11:50 So we have a few minutes
00:11:54 Did anyone around here
00:11:56 tell you to ask
00:11:58 Uh, they did, actually.
00:12:02 3.6 billion years old.
00:12:06 You know, sometimes when things
00:12:09 I just shut that door,
00:12:11 and think, "we all just
00:12:16 a productive meeting, mr.
00:12:18 Very. we discussed
00:12:21 including the peace process
00:12:24 which is an article of faith
00:12:27 Do you think you've been talking to the
00:12:30 Oh, come on. that's not
00:12:34 Look. I just hope he's been talking
00:12:36 to the next president
00:12:40 Tonight bill clinton
00:12:42 "the comeback kid," after winning
00:12:44 an historic second term
00:12:47 Bill clinton is the first democrat
00:12:49 to win re-election since
00:12:51 - a labour
00:12:54 after 18 years of
00:12:56 this is a presidential
00:12:59 Look at them grabbing at h with
00:13:02 He's their man. what a moment.
00:13:03 Let's just listen to the
00:13:08 tony blair and his
00:13:11 out of the wilderness and back
00:13:14 the new prime minister promised
00:13:17 He said his government would
00:13:19 in pursuit of noble causes.
00:13:22 Hey, good to see you.
00:13:24 - hello.
00:13:26 Tony, president chirac on the line.

00:13:31 In english or french?
00:13:33 - does it matter?
00:13:36 as you know,
00:13:38 but my guess is he'll
00:13:40 thinking it'll give
00:13:42 - - I think you
00:13:44 do this in english.
00:13:46 I'll be listening in.

00:14:39 Please hold for the president
00:14:40 of the united states of america.
00:14:42 right.
00:14:48 - your call, mr. president.
00:14:51 Is this tony blair I'm speaking to
00:14:53 or the new dictator
00:14:55 - congratulations, tony.
00:14:58 A majority of 179.
00:15:03 I'm gonna make a
00:15:05 and say that the 2nd of may, 1997,
00:15:08 is the day that
00:15:10 became the default setting
00:15:12 So that's your name in the
00:15:15 And you won edgbaston...
00:15:17 the first labour victory
00:15:19 and wirral south.
00:15:23 Hey, listen. I've gotta go,
00:15:25 but we're gonna see each
00:15:27 - yes, indeed. - all right.
00:15:30 Hey, why don't we have dinner
00:15:33 Sherry and hillary too.
00:15:34 Uh, cherie. I'd love that.
00:15:37 Okay, it's a date.
00:15:40 We're easy. we'll eat anything.
00:15:42 Just no catfish or fried
00:15:44 That's a promise.
00:15:46 See ya.
00:15:54 Did we win edgbaston?
00:15:56 Yes.
00:15:59 And wirral south?
00:16:01 Apparently.
00:16:04 He's got no business knowing that.
00:16:06 That's just showing off.
00:16:08 President clinton and first lady
00:16:12 made a detour to london to pay a flying
00:16:15 All the stops... -
00:16:18 who came to power by moderating
00:16:21 of their respective
00:16:23 the meetings will be
00:16:25 as to what can be expected of the two men
00:16:28 Are you sure I can't
00:16:30 No, I'm good.
00:16:37 I suppose you know the awful term
00:16:42 It's something our foreign
00:16:44 Oh, I know it. every
00:16:47 Although, in terms of actual
00:16:50 israel, china, saudi arabia,
00:16:53 and the irish republic are
00:16:57 Still, every now and again
00:16:59 a situation arises where...
00:17:04 Personal chemistry
00:17:06 As well as the shared language,
00:17:09 Is such that it could
00:17:14 You think this is one
00:17:19 I do actually.
00:17:23 You have to ask yourself: all.
00:17:26 When did it last happen that
00:17:30 found themselves with their
00:17:33 It's a unique opportunity.
00:17:35 - yes, it is.
00:17:37 all the reasons that things
00:17:39 the same old excuses,
00:17:41 to progress that people have
00:17:44 We could put right-wing politics
00:17:46 out of business for a generation.
00:17:50 - the same with the old far left.
00:17:53 Progressive, center-left
00:17:55 What you're talking about is a...
00:17:57 Is a whole paradigm shift.
00:17:59 A new kind of politics
00:18:01 We build a global consensus
00:18:04 there's nothing that
00:18:06 I mean, you look at the facts:
00:18:07 I've got three more years,
00:18:10 That's eight years right there.
00:18:12 And then in europe,
00:18:14 There's persson in sweden,
00:18:15 Beyond that, there's cardoso
00:18:18 People are ready for this
00:18:20 and we're on the
00:18:22 It's a sladunk.
00:18:27 He understands the
00:18:30 of what can be accomplished,
00:18:31 he just refuses to
00:18:33 He's a visionary, a true visionary.
00:18:36 Well, before you develop
00:18:39 it's also worth remembering
00:18:42 also the first president
00:18:44 to be up on a sexual
00:18:46 No, if you'd been there,
00:18:48 you'd understand, you know,
00:18:50 - for me, for all of us.
00:18:53 I was out entertaining
00:18:57 So how was it with the first lady?
00:19:00 Oh, fine...
00:19:02 Until on the way
00:19:04 she let slip how big her staff is.
00:19:06 She has her own policy advisors,
00:19:09 her own chief of staff,
00:19:11 a bloody airplane at her disposal,
00:19:14 Darling, would it help if I sent
00:19:17 Ha ha.
00:19:19 - listening to her,
00:19:22 yeah, effectively,
00:19:25 He takes her advice on everything.
00:19:27 - I take yours.
00:19:30 I mean, it's all
00:19:31 with your jonathans, your alastairs
00:19:34 and your gordons.
00:19:35 You know, bill clinton
00:19:37 who would he go to if there
00:19:40 He said his wife.
00:19:43 - yes, I would.
00:19:45 Whereas they're so tight,
00:19:49 they're effectively running
00:19:54 I think there's something
00:19:58 Do you know, when he was
00:20:01 the staffers actually referred
00:20:04 to them as "biliary. "
00:20:06 biliary?
00:20:10 "terie"?
00:20:13 - "chony"?
00:20:16 - you can't get me-
00:20:17 - no no no no.
00:20:19 Oh, stop it.
00:20:20 It's because we're such
00:20:26 Well, that's a great strike...
00:20:28 what did you get up to today?
00:20:29 I was taken to see the newly
00:20:33 - by cherie blair.
00:20:36 What did you do to deserve that?
00:20:39 That's what we do,
00:20:42 Then we had some lunch,
00:20:45 Did you swap stories?
00:20:46 Talking about tony and me?
00:20:50 Your names came up.
00:20:52 She ask your advice?
00:20:54 I told her to shield her children
00:20:56 from the tabloid spotlight
00:20:58 and to try to be herself,
00:21:00 both of which she will
00:21:03 She's in kind of a tough spot
00:21:05 and she doesn't get much help,
00:21:07 That's just the working class.
00:21:09 You know she's from liverpool?
00:21:11 It's the arkansas of england.
00:21:14 She obviously adores him though.
00:21:17 Well, he's quite a catch.
00:21:20 It's not often you see that.
00:21:22 What?
00:21:24 A couple where the husband is more
00:21:29 - he is handsome. - blair?
00:21:31 - well, you don't?
00:21:34 but there's something about him.
00:21:39 So you prefer your man imperfect?
00:21:43 'cause I hate to disappoint you,
00:21:46 but my mama told me a million times
00:21:48 - that I'm just too good to be true.
00:21:52 Is there ever a moment when
00:22:01 So you continue to practice?
00:22:04 Oh, no, never. I mean,
00:22:06 - now that tony is in #10.
00:22:08 - blame it on me. - what did
00:22:11 - norma major?
00:22:13 Oh! umm...
00:22:15 The prime minister's country house
00:22:17 - and its history. " - perfect.
00:22:19 Cherie's going to do one about
00:22:22 - tony. - can I offer one
00:22:26 - if it's not too presumptuous...
00:22:29 - ... or self-aggrandizing?
00:22:31 - please, feel free to ignore him.
00:22:32 - I'd like to hear it.
00:22:34 Now we got off to a bad start,
00:22:36 and it's taken us
00:22:39 The other thing is
00:22:41 about what you want
00:22:43 I've been in office
00:22:45 - and you want me to work out my legacy?
00:22:47 Because if you don't do it,
00:22:50 Legacy is reductive. people tend
00:22:53 You have to make sure you get ahead
00:22:57 And if you decide
00:22:58 make sure it isn't healthcare.
00:23:00 And if someone in your first
00:23:03 asks you about gays
00:23:05 you say nothing!
00:23:13 People often ask me
00:23:16 if I'm exhilarated
00:23:17 by our election victory.
00:23:19 Of course I'm excited about it,
00:23:21 but I feel an equally profound
00:23:25 I feel it...
00:23:27 ...perhaps especially about here...
00:23:30 northern ireland.
00:23:32 This is not a party
00:23:35 It is about life and death
00:23:37 The people of northern ireland
00:23:40 have stood up to terrorist
00:23:44 They have not been
00:23:47 but the legacy of bitterness
00:23:51 has made the normal political
00:23:53 virtually impossible.
00:23:56 The I. r.a. and sinn
00:24:00 between negotiations
00:24:03 and violence.
00:24:06 My message to sinn fein is clear:
00:24:11 The settlement train is leaving.
00:24:16 I want you on that train,
00:24:19 but it is leaving anyway.
00:24:22 And I will not allow
00:24:26 Thank you very much.
00:24:30 Thank you very much.
00:24:32 The search for peace in
00:24:34 was dealt a devastating blow today
00:24:36 when the ira murdered two
00:24:38 Two ira gunmen caught them
00:24:42 It's believed they came
00:24:44 and fired a number of shots into
00:24:47 all this after sinn fã©in
00:24:49 attacked tony blair's
00:24:51 for peace as pro-unionist.
00:24:54 gerry adams,
00:24:56 at a book signg, said that
00:24:58 he was shocked but reluctant to comment
00:25:05 How could they do that?
00:25:06 I merely suggest they enter talks
00:25:10 and they kill two people.
00:25:12 I mean, maybe I went too far.
00:25:15 You said what had to be said
00:25:17 and they heard it...
00:25:19 The men who murdered those cops.
00:25:21 That's why they did what they did.
00:25:24 They're scared. they're scared,
00:25:27 because after all the decades
00:25:31 and false starts there's
00:25:34 who's not going to put up
00:25:36 Gerry adams assured me
00:25:37 that he was ready to
00:25:40 so that sinn fein
00:25:43 He knew what I was going to say.
00:25:46 And then this, and he says nothing.
00:25:49 Nothing.
00:25:51 Not a word against the
00:25:53 Well, how can I help?
00:25:54 Do you want me to make
00:25:56 Well, your advisors
00:25:58 there's no mileage in
00:26:01 in the domestic
00:26:03 Gerry adams owes me.
00:26:06 and political legitimacy when you
00:26:10 Now I want to do this right.
00:26:12 Why don't have your guys
00:26:14 jot down a few ideas,
00:26:16 come up with a few lines?
00:26:18 You'll have them before
00:26:29 the ira has
00:26:32 for what is ultimately an
00:26:36 and no one should ever make
00:26:39 that actions of this kind represent
00:26:41 anything equating to patriotism.
00:26:44 I, frankly, think now the ball
00:26:48 Everyone has decisions
00:26:52 Their decision is,
00:26:54 are they going to be part
00:26:56 of the peace process or not?
00:26:58 I hope the answer will be yes.
00:27:01 good evening.
00:27:03 The sinn fã©in leader,
00:27:05 walked into #10 downing
00:27:07 The first such meeting
00:27:10 We had a good meeting
00:27:12 I think we faced up
00:27:15 In many ways the engagement
00:27:19 as a moment in history,
00:27:22 in anglo-irish relationships
00:27:25 Today was a significantly
00:27:27 It is thought that president
00:27:30 helped to revive the peace process
00:27:34 proving, yet again, the long reach
00:27:37 bill, thank you.
00:27:39 My pleasure. happy to help.
00:27:41 Sometimes it just takes an outsider
00:27:44 to help settle a family dispute.
00:27:45 Well, I can't thank you enough.
00:27:48 After all these months,
00:27:50 the peace process is back on track.
00:27:53 Well, I guess we can jot one down
00:27:56 for the good guys, eh?
00:27:58 Well, we've got a
00:28:00 And we could never have done
00:28:03 Hey, there are no debts here.
00:28:05 No I. o.u. s. we're just pulling
00:28:09 So if there's nothing else,
00:28:12 If there's anything anytime...
00:28:22 tonight,
00:28:24 dropping to the mid-upper 50s.
00:28:26 Weather updated around
00:28:34 mr. president.
00:28:44 Let's go.
00:29:17 There's gonna be something in the
00:29:23 What? what is it?
00:29:27 It's not that I don't
00:29:30 it's just a very
00:29:34 And if I did tell you the answer,
00:29:35 - you wouldn't learn anything, would you?
00:29:38 - - right, euan,
00:29:41 and that's it. hello...
00:29:43 Yeah, are you near a television?
00:29:46 - yeah.
00:29:50 Right. I'll have to
00:29:52 - come on, nicky. come on.
00:29:56 taken the city by storm.
00:29:58 This just in from washington.
00:29:59 Kenneth starr, the independent
00:30:02 - alleged criminal conduct...
00:30:04 ...of president and mrs.
00:30:07 issued a wave of white house
00:30:10 accusing the president of having
00:30:13 a 23-year-old white house intern.
00:30:16 23? she's a child.
00:30:19 Federal investigators are rumored
00:30:21 of taped conversations discussing
00:30:24 between miss lewinsky and
00:30:27 The recordings,
00:30:29 to president clinton as
00:30:33 recalling the paula jones case
00:30:34 in which detailed descriptions
00:30:37 okay, kids. enough.
00:30:39 - come on. out.
00:30:41 Out, euan.
00:30:44 - nick.
00:30:46 Come on. come on. come on.
00:30:49 Miss lewinsky is also
00:30:51 in one of the taped conversations
00:30:52 that "I have lied my entire life. "
00:30:55 worse still, lewinsky alleges...
00:30:57 this might not be the best time to
00:31:00 Well, who says any of it is true?
00:31:03 If ken starr is involved,
00:31:07 another muckraking exercise.
00:31:09 You watch.
00:31:11 This story could go away
00:31:13 The president of america having
00:31:16 Tonight, the president's
00:31:18 this story hasn't even started.
00:31:20 ...dismissed the allegations as
00:31:24 Okay, well, how-
00:31:28 She was interning in the west
00:31:32 - yeah.
00:31:34 She said she was looking for a job
00:31:36 and, you know me,
00:31:38 I gave her a couple of names
00:31:41 I was just trying to be nice,
00:31:44 but apparently she seemed to
00:31:48 She thought... she thought
00:31:50 Why... why on earth
00:31:52 Well, I don't know.
00:31:54 You know how it is,
00:31:56 how people are around me.
00:31:58 So you're telling me that you did
00:32:01 - no. no.
00:32:03 - no
00:32:05 Nothing. I swear.
00:32:10 Now the way they tell it,
00:32:11 I was having sex in the
00:32:15 - oh, for heaven's sake.
00:32:18 With all the guards and the
00:32:20 that's not gonna happen.
00:32:24 These people...
00:32:25 This is just all the same bullshit.
00:32:27 They think they can put
00:32:29 and that just makes it true.
00:32:32 The same old digging for dirt
00:32:35 Ken starr is gonna go after you
00:32:38 with everything he's got.
00:32:47 They're discussing his
00:32:50 "five and a ha inches with a
00:32:53 hardly errol flynn, is it?
00:32:55 I wonder who's angrier
00:32:57 His wife for his betrayals
00:32:58 or his press secretary
00:33:01 Now had it been 8"
00:33:03 Oh, for god's sake, shut up.
00:33:05 A little irritable today,
00:33:06 I am. why do these european summits
00:33:10 always fill one with gloom?
00:33:12 Because they're full of pompous,
00:33:14 with stupid accents who
00:33:16 - and never know when to shut up.
00:33:19 Plus events in washington will
00:33:22 Which makes the whole thing
00:33:24 Sir. morning, sir.
00:33:26 The list you asked for
00:33:28 of the european commission
00:33:31 Thank you.
00:33:36 Who is she?
00:33:38 A new intern from
00:33:47 You should know the tapes
00:33:49 her phone calls that are
00:33:51 Well, are they out there or not?
00:33:53 Well, it's an ongoing
00:33:55 The information's privileged.
00:33:58 Fine, so these tapes that may
00:34:00 Yes, well, it's been suggested
00:34:02 they contain certain
00:34:05 the president's voicemails
00:34:09 an exchange of gifts,
00:34:11 his... his preference for oral sex
00:34:15 and the supposed existence
00:34:18 of a dress with semen stains.
00:34:20 That's enough.
00:34:26 Whether these...
00:34:28 tapes are out there or not,
00:34:31 it's a "he said, she said. "
00:34:33 we have a starstruck intern versus
00:34:35 the president of the united states.
00:34:38 Now the best way for
00:34:40 to stop this being personal,
00:34:43 because I'm not gonna conduct a
00:34:46 I want to conduct a debate
00:34:50 and ken fucking starr,
00:34:51 because they have been on our
00:34:58 So this is what we're gonna do.
00:35:00 the white house
00:35:03 with one administration... -
00:35:05 as mr. clinton prepares to give another
00:35:08 ... the prosecutor puts the
00:35:10 White house scandal is
00:35:12 already the biggest soap
00:35:14 and the viewers show no
00:35:16 But I want to say one thing
00:35:19 and I want you to listen to me.
00:35:21 I'm gonna say this again:
00:35:23 I did not have
00:35:25 sexual relations with that woman...
00:35:28 Miss lewinsky.
00:35:29 These allegations are false.
00:35:33 Now I need to go back to work
00:35:37 - thank you. -
00:35:39 in particular weighing
00:35:41 of the american public-
00:35:44 between the president and
00:35:47 Has your husband explained
00:35:49 of this relationship to
00:35:51 Well, we've talked at great length
00:35:53 and I think as this matter unfolds
00:35:56 the entire country will
00:35:58 But we're right in the middle
00:36:00 of a rather vigorous
00:36:03 And I have learned over these
00:36:07 being involved in politics,
00:36:09 that the best thing
00:36:12 is just to be patient,
00:36:14 take a deep breath
00:36:16 and the truth will come out.
00:36:18 But there's nothing we can
00:36:20 of allegations that are out there.
00:36:24 Do you think that your
00:36:26 again causing pain in
00:36:28 No, absolutely not
00:36:31 You know, we've been
00:36:34 and I had learned a long time ago
00:36:37 that the only people who
00:36:40 are the two that are in it.
00:36:42 And I guess I've just been
00:36:47 I mean, bill and I have
00:36:50 including murder,
00:36:52 by some of the very same people
00:36:54 who are behind these allegations.
00:36:56 The great story here,
00:36:58 for anybody willing to find it,
00:37:01 write about it and explain it,
00:37:03 is this vast right-wing conspiracy
00:37:07 that has been conspiring
00:37:10 since the day he
00:37:12 A few journalists have kind of caught
00:37:16 but it has not yet been
00:37:19 to the american public
00:37:20 and actually, you know,
00:37:24 this may do it.
00:38:18 You know, the longer this goes on,
00:38:20 the worse it is for clinton.
00:38:21 I wonder whether we might not
00:38:24 I'm on my way to washington to do a
00:38:28 It may be a little late in
00:38:31 Come on, let's be realistic here.
00:38:33 He's hardly bloody
00:38:38 What he did or did not do
00:38:40 is a personal matter.
00:38:42 Public people are entitled
00:38:45 There's nothing private about his.
00:38:47 It doesn't affect his ability
00:38:49 Not to mention he's a friend.
00:38:52 Tony, all political friendship is
00:38:55 A slight cooling may
00:38:58 What? backff from the
00:39:01 we've all been so keen to promote?
00:39:03 No, not back off. just re-evaluate.
00:39:10 And if there is any
00:39:12 they're in so deep
00:39:15 Well, he can hardly come clean,
00:39:16 America elected him,
00:39:19 If he did do it, he should make a
00:39:22 No, his lawyers would hate that idea.
00:39:25 to tough it out on definition and
00:39:27 Would you if you
00:39:30 Who? the big creep?
00:39:32 I suppose it comes down
00:39:34 to what you actually
00:39:37 that's easy... it's intercourse,
00:39:40 What, so blowjobs don't count?
00:39:42 - no.
00:39:45 God. you men are pathetic.
00:39:47 Come on, you know the deal...
00:39:49 - eating ain't cheating.
00:39:52 - if it ain't in, it ain't a sin.
00:39:54 there's even a passage in the
00:39:56 - supports what?
00:39:58 oral sex doesn't
00:40:01 - bollocks!
00:40:04 Ecclesiastes. discovered by
00:40:07 God, they're good.
00:40:09 It's hardly bloody
00:40:11 I mean, organs from one person's
00:40:14 How can that not be sex?
00:40:17 Huh. god, this language.
00:40:19 This is just bizarre.
00:40:22 what we're doing is having a
00:40:24 but it's just... blue.
00:40:27 Yesterday c. n.n.
00:40:31 before their nightly news bulletin
00:40:33 warning parents the content might
00:40:37 - god. - which brings us back
00:40:41 Shouldn't we be thinking
00:40:48 all eyes today
00:40:51 as he flies into a political storm
00:40:53 the likes of which hasn't been seen
00:40:56 With his back against the wall,
00:40:58 from his close connection with the
00:41:00 who is widely admired in
00:41:02 It is likely the official
00:41:05 between the president and
00:41:07 will be pushed aside for questions
00:41:08 about bill clinton's relationship
00:41:10 with a former white house intern.
00:41:26 There's an article in tomorrow's
00:41:28 "new york times" that suggests
00:41:31 to lie about his
00:41:35 If that's true, then it implies
00:41:37 he did lie in the
00:41:39 and he did lean on lewinsky
00:41:42 Infidelity by a
00:41:46 Perjury is quite another.
00:41:51 he's here.
00:41:53 Let me see those numbers
00:41:56 yes, sir.
00:42:00 Tony, sorry to put
00:42:03 - not at all.
00:42:08 ladies and gentlemen,
00:42:10 the president of the united states
00:42:12 and the prime minister of great
00:42:20 Let me just start by saying
00:42:23 to welcome prime minister
00:42:26 Today on the verge
00:42:29 a new millennium,
00:42:33 to stand shoulder to shoulder
00:42:35 the united kingdom.
00:42:37 It continues a great tradition
00:42:39 and a special relationship
00:42:42 Mr. president. mr. president.
00:42:44 - eric.
00:42:46 as a friend and as a religious man,
00:42:50 I was wondering whether you offered
00:42:51 your personal advice to
00:42:54 during these difficult times
00:42:56 of criminal investigation
00:43:01 That's what, in the british media,
00:43:02 we call a helpful question.
00:43:05 Uh, no.
00:43:08 Michael.
00:43:09 Prime minister, some people
00:43:12 of the personal statements of
00:43:13 to the president. can I ask
00:43:16 that might be a politically
00:43:26 You heard the president talking
00:43:30 about the special relationship
00:43:32 between our two countries
00:43:33 and the great tradition of standing
00:43:36 shoulder to shoulder
00:43:38 and I'm reminded of a story
00:43:42 when britain desperately
00:43:46 It wasn't always certain that
00:43:50 and at one point harry hopkins,
00:43:53 the emissary to the american president
00:43:57 Hopkins said to churchill,
00:43:59 what I'll be saying to president
00:44:04 well, he said he would be quoting
00:44:06 from a passage from the bible:
00:44:10 "whither thou goest, I will go;
00:44:13 Whither thou lodgest, I will lodge.
00:44:17 Thy people shall be my people,
00:44:21 and thy god my god,
00:44:29 you just asked whether my support,
00:44:33 is a politically risky strategy?
00:44:35 I've worked with president clinton
00:44:38 for some nine months.
00:44:39 I have found him throughout
00:44:41 someone I could trust,
00:44:44 someone I am proud to
00:44:48 but a friend.
00:44:50 And I happen to think that if you
00:44:53 if you look at the respect
00:44:55 with which america is held
00:44:58 it's a pretty impressive
00:45:02 - prime minister. - mr.
00:45:04 Do you appreciate mr.
00:45:06 No. no.
00:45:10 I think he should have
00:45:12 - and jumped all over me.
00:45:13 - thank you. - mr. president.
00:45:23 I hope you worked out
00:45:27 because you saved that man today.
00:45:29 He owes you big time.
00:45:31 Who says I want
00:45:33 Well, if you don't, it makes what
00:45:36 I did it because I like him.
00:45:39 And because now he owes you.
00:45:42 And because I believe in
00:45:46 what we can do together.
00:45:49 And because now he owes you.
00:45:52 Well, is there anything
00:46:05 We've been on borrowed
00:46:08 Milosevic is playing us for fools.
00:46:10 we should
00:46:13 We got milosevic to the
00:46:17 by agreeing that kosovo was an
00:46:20 and now he thinks that
00:46:22 And by the time the un is
00:46:25 over the finer points of
00:46:27 milosevic will have killed
00:46:30 and driven another two
00:46:32 just like he did in bosnia.
00:46:33 Now that's not going to happen,
00:46:36 John major acted too slowly
00:46:39 This government's not going
00:46:41 Yes, we have to make
00:46:45 That the serbs are
00:46:46 but at the same time
00:46:48 with a credible threat
00:46:50 You and madeleine albright are
00:46:54 So where do we go from here?
00:46:56 We start with the full range
00:47:00 work to get nato on board
00:47:01 and consider our military options.
00:47:04 What about the russians?
00:47:06 Well, you just leave the
00:47:08 Boris... he's going to kick and
00:47:12 but we just gave him
00:47:14 so I've got a little
00:47:16 I'm more concerned about europe.
00:47:19 Well, the italians will be
00:47:22 - as will the germane.
00:47:25 Chirac will want to
00:47:28 He'll do nothing without
00:47:30 of the international community.
00:47:32 You've got the perfect forum there.
00:47:35 Presidency of the e. u.
00:47:39 It hasn't made any
00:47:41 You can be very persuasive, tony.
00:47:45 You know, I've a theory.
00:47:48 in the english language
00:47:49 like sex, food, music or money,
00:47:52 and completely remove
00:47:55 simply by adding
00:48:09 good morning, jacques.
00:48:12 Perhaps you could enlighten us?
00:48:15 but I think important,
00:48:17 - of course. happy to help.
00:48:21 is five and a half inches?
00:48:31 You'd think some of these guys
00:48:33 As leaders, we're all hanging
00:48:36 But the joy of seeing an
00:48:40 It's irresistible.
00:48:43 the pressure on
00:48:45 before the grand jury
00:48:47 with the announcement of a deal
00:48:49 between monica lewinsky
00:48:51 Under total immunity,
00:48:53 is reportedly telling prosecutors
00:48:55 she and the president talked about how
00:48:58 This is what the president is
00:49:01 the indignity of appearing
00:49:03 at a federal courthouse
00:49:04 The special prosecutor, kenneth starr,
00:49:09 He is determined to question the
00:49:11 and he is backed by mr. clinton's
00:49:15 Get me kendall.
00:49:16 If kenneth starr does have
00:49:19 I think it could snowball
00:49:21 into a real impeachment
00:49:23 I have a very
00:49:25 tell them I'll testify,
00:49:28 but I want the subpoena revoked,
00:49:30 I'd like to have my
00:49:35 and we do it in the white house.
00:49:39 First reports now suggest
00:49:41 that monica lewinsky has
00:49:43 to admit there was an affair
00:49:45 and has even turned over to
00:49:47 tapes of phone calls
00:49:49 and a dress, possibly stained,
00:49:52 that may help prove the
00:49:54 Today her lawyer denied
00:49:56 about the dress had been leaked either
00:50:00 The white house claims much of this
00:50:03 but the fbi confirmed to me today
00:50:06 it has received the dress
00:50:08 and is processing it for testing.
00:50:23 Are you awake?
00:50:30 I am now.
00:50:35 I need to...
00:50:37 Tell you about the situation.
00:50:42 It's much more serious
00:50:48 What?
00:50:53 I'm going to say in my testimony
00:50:59 that there... was something
00:51:03 inappropriate
00:51:05 about that relationship.
00:51:11 in deposition
00:51:13 I was asked questions about
00:51:15 with monica lewinsky.
00:51:17 While my answers were
00:51:20 I did not volunteer information.
00:51:23 Indeed, I did have a relationship
00:51:25 with miss lewinsky that
00:51:27 In fact... - I'd like
00:51:30 between "legally accurate"
00:51:32 I can only tell you I was
00:51:36 First, by a desire
00:51:40 from the embarrassment
00:51:42 I was also very concerned
00:51:45 about protecting my family.
00:51:46 The fact that these questions
00:51:49 what a you gonna say?
00:51:52 I don't know.
00:51:54 Maybe nothing.
00:51:57 Well, they'll be
00:52:00 Saying what?
00:52:02 That I am all too aware thh
00:52:05 because of my public
00:52:07 That I find all this
00:52:12 That I feel I had no
00:52:16 I think not.
00:52:20 Our country has been distracted by
00:52:24 and I take responsibility
00:52:26 do you think she'll ever leave him?
00:52:30 Would you leave me?
00:52:35 No.
00:52:37 But I'd make your life hell.
00:52:38 ...real problems to solve,
00:52:40 real security matters to face.
00:52:43 And so tonight I ask
00:52:46 from the spectacle of the past seven months,
00:52:49 to repair the fabric of our
00:52:52 and to return our attention
00:52:55 and all the promise of the
00:52:58 Thank you for watching
00:53:25 How do you wanna do this?
00:53:28 You first, me a few steps behind?
00:53:33 Together?
00:53:37 I want us to do this together.
00:53:42 Whether or not that's possible,
00:53:48 I have to find my way
00:53:55 By myself. okay?
00:54:00 Okay.
00:54:17 How do I look?
00:54:20 Incredible.
00:54:27 - mrs. clinton?
00:54:29 - hillary, one picture.
00:54:39 - so what are his chances?
00:54:42 I'd say 50/50 at best.
00:54:44 His approval rating's gone
00:54:46 Even if he does survive,
00:54:48 such a pounding in the mid-terms,
00:54:50 He's a lame-duck president.
00:54:52 Which, of course, presents the
00:54:55 Well, he's still our strongest ally
00:54:58 and the best hope we've got of
00:55:01 Evil triumphs when
00:55:05 We can all sit here,
00:55:07 "what does what's happening
00:55:10 ethnic cleansing, systematic rape,
00:55:13 mass murder.
00:55:16 No one in the west who has seen
00:55:19 what is happening in
00:55:21 that nato's military
00:55:24 20 years ago we would not have
00:55:28 We would have tued our
00:55:30 But we are a community.
00:55:32 What happens in one part of europe
00:55:34 affects every other part.
00:55:36 And there is only one place to be
00:55:37 and that's in the thick of it,
00:55:40 following a further
00:55:44 the un security council
00:55:46 demanding an end to serbian
00:55:49 and putting 500 aircraft
00:55:52 nato's supreme commander.
00:55:53 Faced with the threat of
00:55:55 slobodan milosevic has
00:55:57 president clinton's personal
00:56:00 has negotiated a ceasefire with
00:56:02 who has agreed to reduce
00:56:05 and to allow 2,000 unarmed
00:56:09 It's not enough, bill.
00:56:10 Nate's agreement could
00:56:13 The russians are only going along
00:56:16 Milosevic isn't
00:56:18 Well, look at you, baby brother,
00:56:21 He's just waiting us out.
00:56:24 Meanwhile, winter is coming
00:56:25 and hundreds of thousands
00:56:28 need to get back to their villages.
00:56:30 As far as I can tell,
00:56:32 We've got observers on the
00:56:35 He tries anything... - yeah, but look
00:56:37 Do you think he cares about a bunch of
00:56:40 It's just a matter of time.
00:56:42 What do you want me to say, tony?
00:56:46 Well...
00:56:48 Unless we back up the
00:56:52 with a willingness to
00:56:54 I just... I just don't see
00:56:57 how he can take us seriously.
00:56:58 Look, I hate milosevic as
00:57:01 but sending troops
00:57:04 that hasn't attacked us?
00:57:07 to congress and the
00:57:09 and I like to think I'm
00:57:11 Bill, if... - I know why
00:57:14 I understand your ambition.
00:57:16 You want to take a step up,
00:57:18 but that dog just won't hunt.
00:57:20 I want to do it because
00:57:22 We both want to do the right thing
00:57:24 and mobilizing nato so
00:57:26 - is the right thing to do.
00:57:28 in case you haven't noticed,
00:57:30 there is a bookoos
00:57:32 - looking to get me impeached.
00:57:35 Look, if we don't do this now,
00:57:37 I guarantee we'll be
00:57:39 Let me be clear:
00:57:41 Until milosevic does
00:57:44 he violates the deal on the table,
00:58:03 You can hardly be surprised.
00:58:05 Politically, his hands are tied.
00:58:08 Yeah, maybe physically too,
00:58:09 if hillary's got
00:58:11 But he's the one who
00:58:12 I mean, it could really
00:58:14 if he did the right
00:58:16 Being seen to be doing something
00:58:18 is completely different to
00:58:21 Thatcher always said,
00:58:23 "no point being here
00:58:25 - big things. " - please don't
00:58:29 The lives of those
00:58:31 of an insane tyrant and we
00:58:34 And if bill won't or can't,
00:58:37 then it's up to me, isn't it?
00:58:45 Right. come on, winston.
00:58:49 Parents' evening.
00:58:53 Thank you, marcus.
00:58:55 What's the math
00:58:58 Humberstone, paul.
00:59:03 - hello, good to see you.
00:59:07 on a hillside
00:59:10 of racak in kosovo...
00:59:11 45 people hacked to death by
00:59:15 right under the noses
00:59:17 I know. I saw the news.
00:59:19 Every station in the world is
00:59:21 We've got to stop fiddling
00:59:24 and prove to milosevic that
00:59:26 If we don't, there's going to be
00:59:30 The people over here,
00:59:32 All they want to know is,
00:59:34 is this a war america
00:59:37 If we do go in,
00:59:40 what happens if all we
00:59:42 pissing him off and he ramps up
00:59:45 We don't even have a grantee,
00:59:50 air strikes are going to do any go.
00:59:52 How long are you going to
00:59:57 Til you tell me it's
01:00:02 It's the right thing to do
01:00:05 and you don't need
01:00:09 No.
01:00:12 But it sure does
01:00:14 hearing you say it.
01:00:17 the serbs say they shot
01:00:19 several dozen terrorists
01:00:22 but these men wear no uniform...
01:00:25 ...and receive no hearing from the
01:00:29 - hello? -
01:00:32 I am.
01:00:34 Because this shit is bad.
01:00:36 Yes, it is.
01:00:39 Okay, bombing from 15,000'.
01:00:42 I'll tell my guys to
01:00:45 ... to find
01:00:51 "look what they've done," she cries.
01:00:54 and the obscene way these men
01:00:57 is a kind of proof.
01:00:59 Get me the secretary
01:01:02 and the chief of defense staff.
01:01:03 Yes, I know what the time is.
01:01:06 nato's attack on yugoslavia,
01:01:10 is tonight under way with
01:01:13 the stealth fighter
01:01:15 for an attack that has tonight
01:01:17 put the western alliance at
01:01:22 we have learned twice
01:01:25 that appeasement does not work.
01:01:28 If we let an evil dictator
01:01:32 we will have to spill
01:01:34 infinitely more blood and treasure
01:01:37 - to stop him later.
01:01:39 This is not a battle for territory.
01:01:42 It is a battle for humanity.
01:01:45 - it is a just cause.
01:01:49 in response
01:01:51 milosevic's forces have stepped
01:01:54 to drive kosovan albanians
01:01:57 leaving hundreds of
01:01:59 Refugees appear, of course,
01:02:01 as a result of bombing,
01:02:05 Man #2: where will you go now?
01:02:07 I don't know,
01:02:09 but mostly what I would like
01:02:13 and to live normal like...
01:02:16 Like all europeans do,
01:02:19 because we are part of europe.
01:02:21 Today, tony and cherie blair
01:02:24 came to see the situation
01:02:26 to witness the scale of the
01:02:29 for which many nations
01:02:31 are increasingly taking
01:02:34 Just to see these people...
01:02:36 These completely innocent people,
01:02:38 who've been forced
01:02:40 mercilessly, at the point of a gun.
01:02:43 Some of them,
01:02:45 faced unspeakable horrors.
01:02:49 I just feel we have
01:02:52 that they can return to
01:02:54 do you have a message
01:02:59 Well, we will not let you down.
01:03:04 As civilian casualties
01:03:05 from nato bombings
01:03:07 european leaders are coming
01:03:10 to justify the military campaign
01:03:13 Stop the war! stop the bombing!
01:03:16 Nato out! nato out!
01:03:22 This is a nightmare.
01:03:24 I mean, we've bullied the e.
01:03:27 and all we've done is
01:03:29 The air campaign
01:03:32 not as currently configured.
01:03:33 It's too half-hearted.
01:03:35 The list of approved
01:03:38 It's done nothing to impede
01:03:42 So all we've really done
01:03:45 Milosevic is looking like a hero,
01:03:47 because he stood up to western
01:03:50 We're losing the p. r.
01:03:52 Unless nato is prepared
01:03:54 and commit to ground troops,
01:03:57 Nato will never commit,
01:03:58 not without clinton.
01:04:10 I know you're committed to
01:04:13 but I'm here to ask you
01:04:14 to also commit to a ground
01:04:17 to resolve this situation
01:04:22 Unless we do so
01:04:24 I am of the firm opinion
01:04:26 that milosevic will
01:04:28 that nato will lack the will
01:04:34 Strategically, we have two options:
01:04:38 The first, a limited
01:04:43 that will drive serb
01:04:46 and create safe havens
01:04:53 Secondly, a general
01:04:57 with 200,000 troops,
01:04:59 inging about the total overthrow
01:05:03 And actually,
01:05:06 A smaller invasion,
01:05:11 the air units parachuted into-
01:05:16 If we do what you're suggesting,
01:05:18 people will interpret it
01:05:21 of the failure of our
01:05:24 so politically it's a
01:05:26 Also, the minute you
01:05:29 into milosevic's territory,
01:05:31 you're fighting on his
01:05:33 handing him a huge advantage.
01:05:35 With the bombing we keep
01:05:38 limit the risk, yet still
01:05:41 But the bombing's not working.
01:05:43 We all know that.
01:05:44 Plus, even in your
01:05:48 we'd have to call up reservists
01:05:50 for a conflict in a place most
01:05:53 I really don't understand
01:05:55 We are staring a wholesale
01:05:58 Are you going to send over as
01:06:01 Well, that's not possible.
01:06:03 As you well know,
01:06:05 of our armies, our resources.
01:06:07 We get the point, prime minister.
01:06:09 You're ready to fight
01:06:15 We have to win this.
01:06:19 I've made a promise.
01:06:23 Politically, I've really
01:06:36 Why don't we step
01:06:40 The two of us.
01:07:02 Let me get this straight.
01:07:04 You want me to spend
01:07:07 of american taxpayer money
01:07:09 This is a battle
01:07:12 between civilization and barbarity.
01:07:15 The intervention and removal
01:07:19 ourechristiantors responsibility.
01:07:22 "christian responsibility"?
01:07:24 You know, for a
01:07:26 you're beginning to sound an
01:07:29 And what about the repercussions?
01:07:31 Civilian casualties
01:07:33 could be even greater than those
01:07:36 in my estimation, enhancing
01:07:39 Nothing could have more
01:07:41 - than being defeated in kosovo.
01:07:44 I am committed to winning
01:07:47 and I will do whatever it takes
01:07:51 Now if you want to talk about
01:07:54 at some future date, fine.
01:07:56 But we keep it between ourselves...
01:07:58 Off the record.
01:08:00 Now, on the record,
01:08:02 here's what I'm saying,
01:08:04 Nato won't go for ground troops
01:08:07 and neither will I.
01:08:24 Well, of course they don't care.
01:08:26 Half of them don't know
01:08:44 - this could be the end of me.
01:08:46 No, I'm serious, alastair.
01:08:49 If we don't win this thing, I'm the
01:08:52 Why not take clinton up on his
01:08:55 on a ground invasion
01:08:57 Because I don't believe him.
01:08:59 He's lied to everybody else,
01:09:00 why should he be
01:09:02 No. no. bollocks to that.
01:09:05 It's the chicago
01:09:07 - yeah. - right. well, I want
01:09:09 I want us to put his back
01:09:12 hang on a minute, tony. are you sure
01:09:15 This could really backfire on us.
01:09:17 And I want every right-wing
01:09:19 about the moral bankruptcy
01:09:21 to be there to hear it-
01:09:34 No one who has seen what is
01:09:37 can doubt that nato's military
01:09:41 and that military action
01:09:45 ...until milosevic is
01:09:49 Success is the only exit strategy
01:09:52 I am prepared to consider.
01:09:55 We are witnessing the beginnings
01:09:57 of a new doctrine of
01:10:00 many nations working hand in hand,
01:10:04 cooperating on issues
01:10:10 You are the most powerful
01:10:14 It must be difficult and
01:10:18 to be the recipient
01:10:20 to be called upon in every crisis.
01:10:22 The cry "what's it
01:10:24 must be regularly heard on
01:10:28 Yet the nations with
01:10:31 have the greatest responsibility.
01:10:35 We need you engaged.
01:10:37 I say to you:
01:10:39 Never fall again
01:10:41 for the dorine of isolationism.
01:10:44 The world cannot afford it.
01:10:46 And realize that in britain
01:10:49 you have a friend that
01:10:52 and fashion with you
01:10:54 the design for a future built
01:10:56 on peace and prosperity for all,
01:10:59 which is the only dream
01:11:01 that makes humanity
01:11:20 Too slow.
01:11:24 Only me.
01:11:26 "all hail king tony,
01:11:29 "why don't we have a president like
01:11:33 "blair shows courage while
01:11:37 "washington post. "
01:11:39 "listening to the british
01:11:41 in chicago last night,
01:11:43 how much president
01:11:45 from his churchillian
01:11:49 Both these men talk the talk.
01:11:52 The difference is,
01:11:54 blair actually walks it too. "
01:11:57 "wall street journal. "
01:12:01 wow. you must've been up
01:12:08 In terms of public approval,
01:12:12 you're the number-one leader
01:12:18 leaders of the nato powers
01:12:21 to debate the worsening
01:12:23 ...speculation as to the
01:12:25 to stay the course,
01:12:28 they might be having
01:12:30 ... the celebration of
01:12:33 but it is expected to be totally given
01:12:42 Give the prime minister
01:12:44 Yes, sir.
01:12:48 - who would've guessed?
01:12:51 What a tough little son of a
01:12:54 stabbing me in the back
01:12:56 - now that takes balls.
01:12:59 - you gave me no choice.
01:13:02 your head's still on the block
01:13:04 - and I still have a choice.
01:13:07 Oh, that's right... your new friends.
01:13:10 so ground troops? are you in?
01:13:14 Maybe you ought to ask
01:13:16 What kind of a king begs
01:13:18 others to do his fighting for him?
01:13:20 Well, if we act now,
01:13:23 we can end the fighting.
01:13:29 with its pledge to
01:13:31 to prevail in kosovo,
01:13:33 nato agrees to expand its bombing
01:13:37 Assured by nato's resolve
01:13:39 and the increasing effectiveness
01:13:42 president clinton
01:13:43 the us will consider all
01:13:46 - to resolve the conflict. -
01:13:49 Under intense pressure from the
01:13:52 a russian delegation
01:13:54 to deliver an ultimatum to
01:13:56 "remove all troops from kosovo
01:13:59 or risk losing the support
01:14:02 his one remaining ally.
01:14:19 - right away, sir.
01:14:25 this job would become,
01:14:28 ...a far more substantial one than
01:14:32 Seen as the president of europe
01:14:33 by the rest of the world... -
01:14:42 tony.
01:14:44 The yugoslav parliament
01:14:47 All serbian troops are to
01:14:50 A nato-led peacekeeping force
01:14:53 Kosovo is to be placed under u.
01:14:56 Of course clinton will
01:14:59 that forced milosevic's hand.
01:15:01 but either way now, it's over.
01:15:04 We've won. you've won.
01:15:20 This is a victory for civilization.
01:15:23 A victory for a
01:15:27 necessary for humanity's progress:
01:15:30 That every human being
01:15:32 has the inalienable right to
01:15:38 Milosevic knows and
01:15:41 we will not tolerate
01:15:45 Hear hear.
01:15:47 Let no one ever doubt again
01:15:49 the moral justification
01:15:51 for invading another country
01:15:53 for humanitarian ends.
01:16:07 here on the roads of
01:16:11 But tony blair was always going

01:18:13 Got a moment, I'd like to...
01:18:17 Well, I'd like to apologize to you
01:18:19 for what happened over kosovo,
01:18:22 briefing against you
01:18:26 I was out of order.
01:18:29 you've been a good
01:18:31 you've been a loyal
01:18:34 and a great ally to this country.
01:18:36 In the end I got all the credit,
01:18:39 credit we should've shared.
01:18:41 It was wrong.
01:18:43 I was wrong.
01:18:45 I'm sorry.
01:18:48 That's bullshit.
01:18:52 - - hey,

01:18:57 Seven out of 10 americans
01:19:00 to have tony blair
01:19:01 Handsome, energetic, churchgoing,
01:19:05 morally upstanding,
01:19:12 Are you sure you weren't
01:19:14 Huh. scotland.
01:19:16 Well, that too bad,
01:19:22 Good evening. the opera,
01:19:26 The fat lady has sung.
01:19:27 The final supreme court verdict
01:19:29 has persuaded al gore to give up.
01:19:31 He's finally accepted that
01:19:33 - has nowhere else to go.
01:19:37 while I strongly disagree
01:19:40 I accept it. and tonight,
01:19:43 for the sake of our unity
01:19:45 and the strength of our mocracy...
01:19:47 I offer my concession.
01:19:51 Prime minister,
01:19:56 Thank you.
01:20:15 - - thanks again. - george w.
01:20:18 a long and trying period,
01:20:20 with the outcome of the
01:20:24 for longer than any of us
01:20:27 - after a difficult election...
01:20:29 ...we st put politics behind us
01:20:31 and work together to make the
01:20:34 available for every one
01:20:38 Our nation must rise
01:20:41 Americans share hopes,
01:20:45 far more important
01:20:46 than any political disagreements.
01:20:49 I have a lot to be thankful
01:20:52 and thankful to the american
01:20:55 of being able to serve
01:20:57 as your next president.
01:21:05 what are you going to do
01:21:07 with bush?
01:21:11 I know what everyone
01:21:13 Back off,
01:21:15 concentrate on domestic politics,
01:21:18 deepen ties with europe.
01:21:21 That's not what I asked you.
01:21:24 What do you want to do?
01:21:27 I still want to get
01:21:30 And I know he's not on the
01:21:36 I'd rather be in the room
01:21:38 where the big decisions
01:21:40 than outside it,
01:21:47 I would be the senior partner now.
01:21:51 Bush would be the junior.
01:21:52 I could help him
01:21:55 advise him.
01:21:59 I just want to do the right
01:22:03 Are you sure about that?
01:22:06 It's in my country's
01:22:09 quite possibly the world's,
01:22:10 for me to stay close to
01:22:12 Well, you can sure
01:22:15 Continue to use the white house
01:22:17 consolidate yourself as leader
01:22:19 and expand your legacy.
01:22:21 I'm not sure how
01:22:23 That felt vaguely like an insult.
01:22:24 Well, it's true, isn't it?
01:22:26 I mean, come on. we both know
01:22:29 that the best way to ensure
01:22:31 50 or 100 years from now
01:22:32 is to link yourself to
01:22:35 But be careful.
01:22:38 These guys, they play rough.
01:22:42 Their administration
01:22:45 has been born in controversy,
01:22:49 and illegality. and it is my bet
01:22:52 that that's the way they'll go out.
01:22:56 So the question you
01:22:59 what business
01:23:01 does a progressive
01:23:04 from a tiny little
01:23:06 making friends with
01:23:10 But then again...
01:23:12 I'm not sure whether you are
01:23:15 a progressive center-left
01:23:20 Or if you ever were.
01:23:26 I'm gonna say good night.
01:23:28 I might sleep late.
01:23:31 I'm tired. I need the rest.
01:23:35 Go ahead.
01:23:38 Sleep as long as you like.
01:23:41 ...but to serve one nation.
01:23:44 is the president of every

01:25:10 so after our little talk,
01:25:15 Hug 'im close, go for glory
01:25:16 or do the right thing
01:25:19 Not yet.
01:25:23 Well, I guess I'll have to
01:25:25 Just watching the press
01:25:27 scrutinizing the body
01:25:30 I guess you will.
01:25:33 I guess so.
01:25:46 - goodbye, tony.
01:25:54 Right face!

01:27:09 More importantly, we've had a
01:27:12 and gotten to know each other.
01:27:16 As they've told me,
01:27:19 He put the charm offensive on me.
01:27:22 - - and it worked.
01:27:25 A question for both of you.
