waxi wasn't asked by london to do that because i thought london was beating resources to the south.i asked the occasional question about whether more than 2% of the overall american resources should go into this very important region in the south. a bit of money started flowing to this out but not much more than that. there was still that separation in the american mind between the british area and the rest of iraq. >> this illustrates the whole problem. the british ferry was dependent still on american resources because we did not have sufficient resources ourselves to do what was necessary we had not resourced it sufficiently. had to come from the money that the cpa had to spend. you're not in a position as a joint administrator to say that's where it should go. it had to be done in this roundabout way from basura to washington and back to baghdad? >> yes, i was not in a position to do that. ambassador bremer had been to congress and had got $18.7 billion out of the washington system and it was his job to -- very little of that was dispersed during the coalition period. he was fee

they will get london for the foul. london was trying to dart gerald lee. that was a bit of a mismatch. >> just a bit of an advantage for gerald lee. now lee has chris johnson on him this time, stills seems to be a tad bit of a mismatch. 6'6" against 6'10". looks like curt huelsman. >> reporter: we have curt defending the inbound pass. talking over something here, resetting the hot clock >> derek: it was reset already >> mike: somebody get a hand on this. it will come at least. flyers up by three in a low scoring affair. it has not locked for excitement here tonight. >> post teams are defensive minded teams >> mike: outside, james will spot for though, rebound, battled for, london warren come out thereof with it and a foul on bazemore and that's his fourth. >> we talked about the hill thing that could gone his way. they made an effort and tipped the call and fortunately knocked it into london warren's hand but that's a little item that won't show up. show says that crest won't be criticized. as you said, created another fouls again beazmore. >> beaz more go

we need to look at that as a part of the agenda of the london conference.we try to bring together the military and civilian work and a more coordinated way and that we have people in charge of humanitarian and development work in afghanistan on a basis. what he says will definitely be taken into account as we look at what we can achieve as part of the london conference. i am pleased to note that member here with us. i want this whole house to thank them for everything that they do in the service of this country. >> mr. deputy speaker, having campaigned of the last four years for more protected increased numbers of them being delivered to a theater. is the prime minister confident that the extra troops being sent to afghanistan will not have the opposite at that to that which is intended, and that is to a exacerbate the situation? this has happened in the past, and could this not be history repeating itself? >> note, mr. speaker, i do not believe so. a change in tactics by the taliban. they are acting -- fighting effectively a guerrilla war. by having a prop

after talks with president obama i can also report that the london conference in afghanistan will make decisions on civil coordination in afghanistan. hear commitments by coalition partners on extra troops and from president karzai on afghan reform. this morning i had meetings with colleagues and others in addition to my duties in this house i shall have further such meetings today. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'd >> following recent events, does my right hon. friend agree with me and agree to secretary of state for health and with the recent report of the help select committee, that the major priority for national health services must be patient safety? >> patient safety is and has to be our number one priority. and there is no excuse other than for the best care and no tolerance of the failure of managements. i am sorry when any patient receives less than the best care and help in the nhs. as a result, we have introduced independent regulation and transparency so that information flows to the patients. we have set up the care quality commission, which from next year will register all hospitals and

i would say that london had been taken for granted.y the way, what about air services and steel tariffs? >> your suggesting that we did not use the interest that we had as positive things we could have done? >> if i put it charitably, we underestimated the leverage at our disposal. >> you are traveling about the country a lot, and there is not a lot of support for the war? >> it is not that it was building opposition to the war, it was simply that -- i went to 45, maybe more cities, and he did not get that patriotic surge of people punching the air, let's go get saddam. people were anxious and cautious about it. >> was that linked to the government here by yourself and others? what was the action? >> there was no reaction. telegrams and reports sent back to headquarters do not always illicit a response. >> i need did anybody change in practice? >> i don't think so. >> i want to get briefly in the aftermath. there are more questions that he wants to ask you before we finish. do we have a period in autumn 2002, you sit in your book that

i wasn't asked by london to do that because i thought london was beating resources to the south. asked the occasional question about whether more than 2% of the overall american resources should go into this very important region in the south. a bit of money started flowing to this out but not much more than that. there was still that separation in the american mind between the british area and the rest of iraq. >> this illustrates the whole problem. the british ferry was dependent still on american resources because we did not have sufficient resources ourselves to do what was necessary we had not restricted iresourced it sufficiently. you're not in a position as a joint administrator to say that's where it should go. it had to be done in this roundabout way from basura to washington and back to baghdad? >> yes, i was not in a position to do that. ambassador bremer had been to congress and had got $18.7 billion out of the washington system and it was his job to -- very little of that was dispersed during the coalition. . period. he was feeding money into the north, the center an

and in the margins of that event, he and robin cook met in a london hotel and had a very good conversation. i remember powell coming back and sailing, that robin cook, i know i can do business with him. this is a good, good guy. . . maybe i'm anticipating a question, in which case i apologize, but to understand the context, it has to be emphasized that the regime change in iraq was from united states policy, and went back to the iraq unification act of 1998, when the bill was passed unanimously by the senate, passed overwhelmingly by the house of representatives, signed into law by bill clinton in october of 1998. so regime change, and to quote the act, to establish a program toward democracy and iraq, was an official american policy which george bush inherited from bill clinton. he was a little bit knocked about by monica lewinsky and the impeachment business, but that was the policy that george bush inherited. sometimes people say to me, well, it was the administration with right-wingers. absolutely wrong. it was inherited from the democratic administration, as were a number of other pol

to london and this man was one of thousands who flocked to his lectures. >> people loved his classes.hese radical muslims in london, alwaki was god's messenger. >> he doesn't say fight until there is no more corruption. it is alla that says that. it is the verse that inspires the people, not imam alwaki. >> even though his website is down and he is in hidings, dvds of his teachings are still for sale openly taking a prominent place in bookstores like this in london keeping his radical message alive. the newest dvd set sells out in the open for $100. the storekeeper says he is doing good business and the people he sells them to think alwaki is mainstream. and this video with the ominous title "the end of time, a new beginning" shows him inexpiring his viewers in a 45-minute broadcast. whether he wants it or, alwaki has inspired people to terrorism. in london court transcripts reveal that least some of the frup that conspired to blow up passenger jets were alwaki devotees, two terrorists in toronto convicted of planning to blow up targets in canada and in the united states. six men arre

he had been a mysterious person in the british embassy in london and the american and london. he got to know a lot of students. he wanted to visit me at the swimming pool at the airport hilton hotel in new orleans. where most of you know if you've heard of him he was actually a cia station chief and then head of operations for the cia. so he tried to talk me into coming into the cia. the conversation didn't go well because house with your new through that of course we don't want you to be an agent. we don't want to be a covert agent. we wanted to be an analyst at headquarters. and i sort of thought is dashing covert agent and suddenly my hopes are dashed, which is so for chilly that same week there'd been a senior editor at "time" magazine. my whole thing was doing a whole lot in the days before they had layoffs. so they sent a senior editor and a trip around america because they had decided they need to find writers from as they put it out there to go to "time" magazine. this guy is spent a whole year finding writers out there. fortunately, he got to new orleans just when i h

it has happened at universities here in london before to muslim students. there are radicalizers that radicalize some of the students. when he studied here between 2005 and 2008, mechanical engineering, when he finished that course he asked to go to university in saudi arabia or cairo, egypt. they were worried because he was making contact with suspicious people. at that stage they were already getting worried about his radicalization. there is another point that is interesting and that is the very same summer when his parents were getting worried, that very same summer the u.s. embassy here in london got a multiple entry visa for return visits to go in and out of the united states. there are inconsistencies here, too. >> larry: one thing more quickly with drew griffin who will follow this program live around the clock as we do it at cnn. drew, do you know what he has been officially charged with? >> yeah. larry, i have the charging papers. it is two counts here. i will try to get them exactly right for you. he was charged, gee wiz, larry. you would have to

so i went over and found myself in london, and worked for the sunday times for a summer. it was there i met another of the characters i tell you about. a guy named david blundey. he was really thin, really tall, auld tightly coiled, so much so he looked like a figure in an animated cartoon character as he would sort of unfurl himself in various ways. i was sent by harry evans up to a town named dundee in scotland expect was under the theory that harry had, that since i was an american, i was like woodward and bernstein, who had become famous for uncovering watergate. this is not true because one thing about writing about people how i do, you do it because you tend to write people. this is great for writing biographies, it's really bad for being an investigative journalist, because you totally sympathize with whoever you're writing about. so i was up there in dundee, and there was the mayor, the provost, and i-under covered the story there was shenanigans and a mysterious murder, and i write the story, and harry is so baffled by it, he send david blundey to help report it

in terms of the london conference, he said quite a lot. could he clarify whether the new individual working on behalf of the un secretary general, d'arcy agree that it would be good to have someone over and above that to coordinate all of the civilian side? that is what we have been pushing for. perhaps he can clarify that is still the government's condition. on iran, does the prime minister agree that the time has come to take a much stronger line? it is clear that talks with iran are not moving, but we are considering options for next steps. should this include three things at the very least? serious financial sanctions like those that exist in the united states. we have been here before. the prime minister said in june 2008 that action will start today. can he assure the house that this time the measures will be agreed and put into place? >> of copenhagen, can the prime minister be clear on what he thinks can now be achieved? does he agree with the u.n.'s chief climate negotiator that a legally binding agreement is no longer possible in
