simon callow dickens penning you to your chair with his eyes. >> tell me about the wife. >> catherine dickens. he married catherine of scottdissent in the late 1830's. they were initially happy. he was on the rebound. he definitely had pursued another lady who had rejected him. for a quickly looking blissful domestic setup which he found, initially. it was quite harmonious. she was pregnant nearly every year of their marriage, for 20 years. she was either recovering from pregnancy, about to be pregnant, or always carrying a child. i think it affected her. she was meant to have suffered from postnatal depression. she became a larger person. her in this film, what i tried to suggest is that this is a marriage where he is not painfully unhappy but it's functional, habitual, polite but there is no great flame of passion. it's two people who have come to negotiating their daily life around each other and it's fine. catherine ishabits extraordinary. she gives a great dignity to the part and in a crucial scene, dickens had commissioned a piece of jewelry for nellie as a gift and thought it was for the wife. the jeweler sent it to

simon. thank you for your time. i know that you're involved in this case that ultimately seems to have struck down florida governor rick scott's sort of signature drug testing law. why do you think the governor championed this law in the first place? was it addressing a known problem in the state? >> well, he trapped himself into this by his rhetoric when he was a candidate for governor. i have to say that what he did because shamelessly exploit ugly prejudices and false stereotypes that people have about the poor. i say shamelessly, because he knew the facts, some of the facts, beforehand. there was an experiment in florida several years ago that failed and then he kept repeating the same thing over and over again, even after three months into the program, as you have just reported, the rate of positive tests for people who are applicants for welfare was about one-fourth of the general population. and he knew that. and he kept repeating it. and i think, frankly, what it's all about, it's more about politics than it is the law. it's his effort to exploit for political purposes, what he thinks are the ugly stereotypes and preju

and the question, scott, has marissa mayer got her hands on this company fully? is it in control? >> well, simonaving me. i think the short answer to your question is we're not entirely sure. clearly the public perceptions of marissa mayer and yahoo! over the last year and a half have been i think overwhelmingly positive by and large. but what we have seen is an increasing focus on the i'd say eroding and lackluster at best fundamentals in the company. people have been emphasizing the tremendous value in some of the asian assets including the aforementioned alibaba group. but the reality is i think people are growing uneasy and uncertain about the future of yahoo! even with that investment. >> let's talk about alibaba in a moment. ben, let me just ask you about where we are with marissa mayer and let's not forget that she kicked out one of her friends in running the company coo recently with a $110 million payoff whatever it was. rbc capital is saying there is a window of opportunity to innovate in the way that twitter and facebook are innovating and that window of opportunity is closing quite r
