first of all, we're thrilled to be here at the commonwealth club. i want to tell you a little bit about myself. i live in miami. i moved there in 1986 from the united states. [laughter] one of the things i always feel like i should do is to defend my city because it had a bad reputation, a bad image. the zogby does this organization -- and does this poll were they asked people about different cities. many respondents thought miami was a dangerous and violent place. that hurts. when we see that, we want to attract those people down and kill them. [laughter] it is a wonderful city, it really is. it is a question of learning to adapt to the local culture. for example, you would never say out loud in miami, i do not know, i think you have to admit that castro has done some good for cuba. [laughter] anyway, what ever you have heard, disregard. it is a great town. we have a new attitude out there. the tourism motto is to come back to miami, we were not shooting at you. [laughter] i want to tell you quickly about my career. i have been a humor writer most

and the commonwealth countries. that's assuming that the commonwealth is still existing in its current form. it's worth thinking that this child is unlikely to be crowned king till say 2070. that really is a long time. the queen is still active in good health. we've got charles who is really at the age of retirement for many people. but hasn't yet started his main job yet. william there will also waiting. this little boy has got quite a long wait. >> we understand the prime minister is actually making a statement outside. he's actually made a statement already just outside of number 10. we'll bring it to you in a moment. annabelle,s in terms of the naming of the child, you referenced earlier the length of time it took for william's name to be announced, prince william. how long do you think it will be in relation to this is little boy that's just been born today? >> well, obviously, there's a lot of pressure for them to make an announcement very quickly. i think they'll take their time. kate and william have shown t

so it was in 2011 in perth, australia when the 16 commonwealth countries of which the queen is stillto discuss. and british prime minister david cameron announced at that meeting that they were going to do it, they were going to make the change. boys would no longer trump girls. the commonwealth countries had all agreed, he said, to give female royals the exact same rights of succession as their brothers. "put simply, if the duke and duchess of cambridge's first-born were to be a girl, that girl would one day be our queen." david cameron came back to the uk with the consent of all the commonwealth countries to go along with it, he introduced a bill last year, the succession of the crown act. it passed through both houses of parliament, and it was officially made the who gets to sit on the throne law three months ago. just in time. so the gender politics of royal babies are basically by the skin of their teeth suddenly all 21st century. but when it came time to make the official baby announcement today, the world's eyes turned to a gold-trimmed easel propped up outside buckingham pala

as attorney general, it is my job to defend the commonwealth in any lawsuit that comes before it, butibility as attorney general to protect, obey and defend the constitution. i also have to look at the rules of professional conduct as a lawyer. so when i'm faced with the opportunity that i must defend the governor with regard to a specific suit as the doma lawsuit indicates, i have to weigh my options between defending the governor, as well as protecting the constitution. i chose to protect the constitution where i believe that the constitutionality of doma is seriously suspect. i believe doma is unconstitutional. therefore, i cannot ethically, morally or according to the laws of pennsylvania defend the governor where we have a material difference. so i am not defending the governor of pennsylvania in the doma lawsuit, as opposed to enforcing the laws of the commonwealth. so there's two different -- there's two different duties. sometimes they don't always overlap. sometimes they aren't parallel to each other. and it is up to the attorney general to abide by the rules, to make that de

i am sure that right across the country and the commonwealth, people will be celebrating and wishing royal couple well. moment in thetant life of our nation, but i suppose above all it is a wonderful moment for a warm and loving couple who got a brand- new baby boy. it has been a remarkable few years for our royal family. a royal wedding that captured hearts. a magnificent jubilee. and now this royal birth, all from a family that have given this nation so much incredible service. >> kate had gone into labor in the early hours of this morning at kensington palace, overdue perhaps by a week. it is not clear whether medical staff had begun to induce the birth. shortly before 6:00 a.m., she arrived with william at the back entrance to the hospital, already in the early stages of labor. her admission was confirmed at 7:30. within moments, the news was relayed around the world. >> just around dawn this morning, the duchess of --bridge, accompanied by >> breaking right now, the duchess of cambridge in labor. >> interest in this birth is considerable. the coverage has been intense and ongoin

and then over a period of time -- >> a commonwealth, you have freedom to try new rules. >> right.wn laws and government taxation. we would be business friendly. we would try to model ourself after singapore. during the period of time that detroit has gone from 2 million people down to 700,000, singapore has gone from 1 million to 4 million people. so they're doing something right. we would be business friendly. we would have some taxation principles, which would make us very, very competitive. number one is, we would not tax anything we would want to encourage. and number two, taxes have to be transparent to the taxpayer. >> so you don't tax investment. >> we don't tax investment or labor income. perhaps a 10% consumption tax and the primary tax would be real estate tax but only on the raw land value, not on the improvements that person puts on the land. >> and you have to speak english and bring in $300,000 to be a citizen? >> however, we would have a process for having other people come and we would waive the fee. >> why would you waive the fee? >> if they bring a special skill

thank you to the commonwealth club. let me check the time so i don't go over. i am sure all of you are interested in what is going on in afghanistan right now, who is contesting for the presidential seat and the election is next year, what happens after the nato forces withdraw, i've they do. we can get into all of them with questions and so on, but as a historian what i am interested as i got here. and i feel that how we got here is part of the question of where we go from here. and, you know, this book, i have gone back to what i consider the origins of the afghan nation state, about two and a half centuries ago and trace the narrative bark of that country, that emerging developing country which is still not quite developed. note that the origins go back to the same time the united states was taking shape. what i see, this territory that we now call afghanistan was populated by many tribes, clans, differing populations, but it was also permeated by a sense of uniformity of cultured, of which is long was, perhaps, the most important finding factor, but there a

commonwealth and others have done work on this question. it comes down to the question of insurance, what difference does that make and acknowledgment and in absence of insurance, in fact people delay. the same issue with respect to cost sharing. so i think it's a problem we confront now with existing program and will be a problem we confront going forward in terms of how we restructure what that benefit looks like. to john's point earlier, people now face is absurd part a cost on an episode basis which is this bizarre construct of a 60 day, you know coming essentially pay it if you're hospitalized, then you don't pick if you're are within that 60 days but then you pay begin and another 60 days. so i mean people are confronting cost-sharing problems today but many of them have protections, financial security and the purchase of coverage or it's available because of their union or because of their retirement plan, or because of medicaid. but again this is not a problem that is new to us. it's a problem we continue to struggle with which is w

and i'm sure right across the country and indeed right across the commonwealth people will be celebrating wishing the royal couple well. it is an important moment in the life of our nation. but i suppose above all, it's a wonderful moment for a warm and loving couple who have got a brand-new baby boy. it's been a remarkable few years for our royal family. the royal wedding that captured people's hearts, that extraordinary and magnificent jubilee. and now this royal birth, all from a family that have given this nation so much incredible service. and they can know that a proud nation is celebrating with a very proud and happy couple tonight. >> for more on the royal birth, we're talking about nbc's michelle kosinski and tom sykes, the london bureau chief for the daily beast. and j.d. heyman. michelle, give us a wrap-up on what has been happening. you've been covering this for hours. give us a picture of what happened today and its importance. >> hi, chris. well, the birth was announced at about 8:30. we got that from the palace by e-mail. we eventually saw the royal announcement, the offici

. >> the first assistant claimed the commonwealth had a compelling case complete with videotapes. they even presented a dramatic reenactment of the decedent's death. he made it sound like a slam dunk case. now, four weeks later, your honor. the first assistant says the commonwealth is not even ready to show this court that it can meet the probable cause standard to hold mr. hernandez. >> on the flip side the prosecution says their case is plenty strong. the next hearing in this case is set for august 22nd, shep? >> shepard: trace, we also saw relatives of the victim crying in court today. the relatives right there in the front row. and as the hearing ended, aaron hernandez mouthed an apparent "i love you," to his girlfriend just before they carted him back to jail. well, an important update from the royal family. what is he -- his majesty the baby now has a name. officials at kensington palace confirm is he george alexander lieuy. you can call him prince highness prince george louie of cambridge. prince george or if you prefer the royal baby. i asked imogen lloyd weber about the n

throne of the united kingdom, will be head of state of 15 separate nations that are part of a commonwealth that now spans over 18 countries, they still want to try as much as possible to have a normative influence on the child by sharing this child with princess catherine, the duchess of cambridge's, family. they are the family who are not aristocratic. they're not gentry. they don't come from any of those upper stratas of the british establishment. they are hard working, middle-class people. they have been very successful, but they do not draw their lineage in the same way william does. i think to your point, toure, this is about an attempt, albeit an attempt -- and this is early days. this is the first 24 hours of this child's life. the real challenge now is that as this baby was presented to the world's media, there is that acknowledgment by the parents that there is in some sense the nation, the commonwealth taking possession of this child as much as the two parents who have so, you know, beautifully held him today in front of the cameras. >> martin, you talked a little bit about norma
