prime minister blair here you are you have you have come in as a as a labor prime minister for the first time in a generation, and you have an overwhelming mandate and you start by doing this. i mean, it's you were elected in 97. the negotiations started in 97. why? why was it so important to you? to put that much political capital. i mean, there was a personal reason actually 2 degrees rather like the president. i mean my family on my mother's side to come from donegal. um i'd grown up with a very clear understanding of the troubles and you would wait literally every morning and the 19 seventies 19 eighties. 19 nineties. um. to use on on the uk media of acts of terrorism or destruction. death story, tragic stories of the families of the victims of the troubles. so it was all it was part of my own personal history. but i also thought, you know john major, who would be my predecessors. prime minister had tried and got somewhere there was some stirring. you could see some possibility, even though the thing is broken down by the time we came to office, and i thought i mean, i've often wonde

, sir tony blair, hillary clinton were there with tony blair, sirtony blair, unveiling hillary clinton this? i just think it is a fascinating story. let's go back to 1997 and a certain senator called a joe biden, who was sitting on the foreign relations committee in the states and arguing heavily for the united states to involve itself more in trying to secure peace in northern ireland, and he was at that time pressurising bill clinton to step in, and then fast forward 25, 26 years and we are now marking 25 years of the good friday agreement, a triumph of diplomacy that brought peace northern ireland, a great example of people working across the political divide, a great actual personal sacrifice to themselves to secure a long lasting peace, and we're very fortunate to have three of those leaders still with us and still able to reflect on what was over that time in the form of bertie ahern, tony blair and bill clinton, all in belfast this week, just a few days afterjoe biden himself paid a visit. i days afterjoe biden himself paid a visit. ., , days afterjoe biden himself paid a visit.
