liberating a number of bulgarian nurses and a palestinian doctor who'd been jailed in libya when warmer khadafi was still in charge but what was it like i know you get that question a lot but like i still want to hear from you once again. of course it's a very interesting i mean part of my life if not the most important. part of my life because i mean just to say i tried i release six person it's important in and i very mean those nurses and this doctor was condemned to this as you might know and there were in jail for more than nine years and i went there trying to make a difference trying to talk was not only cut off his government his prime minister and the people of save me is his son and i tried hard to was on my will to liberate those nurses and i succeeded it was too important trips the first one was twenty hours there the second one was forty five hours dealing with all those people and when i came back was the nurses it was really fabulous for me i tell a lot in my book about this it's something very important for me and i think my life is all about that trying to help other ones that'

tell more about that because it was really something huge and happy to about done it but also i mean khadafi wasn't like the easiest person to negotiate with i mean many people who've met him or even those who knew him briefly all say that he wasn't completely sane his son also wasn't the easiest person to communicate or negotiate with what was he like when you were talking to him and negotiating with him about the lives of these people. qadhafi i mean you know he was very he was very. how can i say maybe under drugs or medicines but he was listening maybe it wasn't the right place at the right moments because as you might remember there were dying those nurses were dying and i mean part of his government wanted to keep those nurses and i told him you're going to i mean it's like killing someone if you don't release them they're going to die in your jail i mean it's not maybe the best image you want to send to the world before. not being any more in charge of the country so maybe i offer him something that he was i mean lucky to receive the chance to release those nurses and this doctor ther

what's going on franco first of congress has got it eight percent nine percent job approval rating khadafi had a fifteen percent job approval rating and that was among the people who killed him hitler had eleven percent yeah bug juice and so it shows you how far congress has fallen the i want to take it one step broader which is that we don't trust any institutions right now it's not just the presidency that's in challenges that's being in check and it's not just congress it's business leaders it's cultural leaders it's the media it's everybody we think is out for themselves and against us there's no cronkite there is no there's no arbiter and there's nobody that we trust mother teresa is gone nelson mandela's been off the political state there's really nobody that we can look to and say that someone i believe in you know had it by the way was called.
