iona craig is a journalist who has that report from yemen for twenty ten she joins us as a skype for cheltenham in the u.k. to do you think the supporters of cell a will outline ways. and well right now i think they're probably scrambling to queue themselves in for safety really because the who these are going to is going to be actually hunting them down i'm sure and so on are and they're going to as you said be looking for somebody to rally around of course sally's son is is out of the country in the u.a.e. potentially he could be a figure that they rally around but not on the ground in yemen right now so. i think it will be looked at in the earlier i. i'm not sure if we can still hear these last iona craig there to iron if you can still hear me and when sally turned against the who sees his former allies into thinking misjudged their power i think that was always going to come a time when there was going to be a split but i think that time probably came in earlier than any of the last fall anticipated and that's what proved catastrophic for him certainly the whose he's had spent a

coached-- against each other at west point and iona. and then we came down here the same year.coached nc state and duke. and we didn't really like one another. you know, very competitive young turks going after one another. and then jim left coaching and went into broadcasting, and we got closer, and then he got cancer. and when he had cancer, it was incurable. and he spent about the last five months at duke hospital. and i would visit him a few times each week, and we became literally brothers. and during that time, he founded the v foundation for cancer research, and he asked me to be on the board, and i've been on the board since then. but for him, it was almost like you're part of divine intervention. like, somehow this guy, knowing that he was gonna die, used that to establish something that might help beat cancer. it was-- i'm still amazed that he was able to that. and the time we shared together during that is treasured time. let me ask you about the overall program you built. yeah. now you have a situation where duke is considered royalty in college basketball, but as a
