thatcher, could i see you? and she said, oh, won't you come to lunch. >> according to 0-627 -- >> yes? >> it was quite an intimate occasion with few numbers of people there. there was the prime minister, mr. thatcher, mr. -- and you. and the meeting was at your request. do you see that? >> yes. >> you don't mind if i tease you about this. when you told on july of last year that you wished politicians would leave you alone, you weren't of course referring to this meeting. [laughter] >> i think this meeting was to inform the chief executive of the company of the likelihood of a change of ownership of a great iconic asset. i thought it was quite appropriate. >> if thatcher knew that was probable or i suppose one outcome might close the great two titles if you couldn't sell them. but two purposes behind. one was to brief mrs. thatcher and give her your thoughts about the -- what is described here as the embryonic and redeveloping reader administration. do you see that in paragraph two? >> yes. i think it shows that

that's not really margaret thatcher. the physical transformation was stunning. i want you to talk about what did they do in terms of the makeup and all of the things that you had to prepare for just to look so remarkably like margaret thatcher? >> well, thank you very much. and on behalf of my makeup man and my team, really, i have been working with the same makeup man and hairdresser for 35 years. >> mike: wow. >> we started in the public theater in new york city. and he bleached my hair for sophie's choice and he did my hair today. [ laughter ] >> mike: boy did he ever hitch himself to the right wagon? >> is he a master of -- and he knows what i like to do. i like to transform the physical because it makes you -- it makes it easier to get into the interior of a character. so, the more believable you are physically, the more we'll go into who, i mean, we will believe how are. and in england we met a british prosthetics designer who is maybe the genius that i have ever met. i have done it a lot. i played old ladies and out of africa and everything. but this guy

thatcher how very much you were "one of us?" "one of us" is baroness thatcher's term, but was that part of your purpose? >> no. >> of course you appreciated the importance of a face-to- face meeting. that's why you requested it. is that right? >> yes. >> and as mr. ingham says, if you -- >> the purpose was not to tell her about mr. reagan. >> pardon me? >> the purpose was not to tell her about president reagan. >> she knew all of this anyway. >> yes. >> paragraph 4 -- "the main purpose of mr. murdoch's visit was to brief the prime minister on his bid [that's your bid] for times newspapers." and then you explained to her what your bid amounted to in financial terms, and then you treated her to some speculations about who else had bid, is that fair? >> yes, that was pure speculation. i don't think thomson told me of anyone -- some had announced bids, like captain maxwell who was always bidding for things. >> why was it important to you that mrs. thatcher understand the nature and quality of your bid? >> well, as i said, this was t

and margaret thatcher is like the headmistress -- headmistress who lays down the rules. so, she has this great body of knowledge. and she, by all accounts, applies a very wisely. she knows her limits. she knows she should not make overt public statements, for example. she has to maintain neutrality and sort of the above politics. i think all the people who need her really value having somebody in that position who is sort of a wise guy the -- why is guide. >> must be difficult to balance history, tradition, and also being a modern monarch. >> yes. and that is the subtitle of my book. i was really surprised by the degree that all along the way she has modernized. not overtly, sort of incrementally. so, it does not upset people too much. the pace has probably quick and a bit since diana because the whole experience of having gone through that difficult week after a day and of died, when people sort of turned against the queen for not coming to london right away -- so one of the things they did after diana. and she gave a speech before diana's funeral saying there are lesso

one of the lawyers asked, were you the power broker even in the time of margaret thatcher. he has been asked about whether he tried to trade his support for british politicians in return for commercial favors. he was very stern on that matter. he said that he never asked a british prime minister for anything. he also tried to portray it as perfectly normal, if perfectly natural for politicians and editors to want to speak together. >> it is only natural for politicians to reach out to editors and [unintelligible] to explain what they are doing and hoping that makes an impression and that it goes through. i was only one of several. >> trying to say that things were not that unusual. put this into context for us, the business of murdoch and the broadcaster and the sale. and we have the whole argument as the prime minister has questions about the recession. tough times for the government. >> very tough times for david cameron. next week he will face a local election. it will be interesting to see how all this plays out. he will be particularly nervous about rupert murdoch's ev

name margaret thatcher. years later when president reagan asked me to become the special presidential envoy for the law of the sea he sent me to japan and germany and the netherlands and england and france to meet with the leadership to try to talk them out of supporting what was called the sea bed mining section of the law, the sea treaty, and one of the stops was in london, and i met on 10 downing street with mrs. thatcher, and i started explaining to her exactly what the provision of the treaty would do, and i said basically what it does is it creates an authority, quote, unquote, kind of an orwellian term and it would be in charge of riches under the sea and president reagan wants me to persuade you that he will not sign the treaty because he doesn't think it is a good thing for the country or the world and she looked at me and said, mr. ambassador, that sounds to me like the international nationalization of two thirds of the earth's surface. you know what i think of nationalization. she had been dismant

thatcher, and i started explaining to her exactly what the provision of the treaty would do, and i said basically what it does is it creates an authority, quote, unquote, kind of an welling term and it would be in charge of riches under the sea and president reagan wants me to persuade you that he will not sign the treaty because he doesn't think it is a good thing for the country or the world and she looked at me and said, mr. ambassador, that sounds to me like the international nationalization of two thirds of the earth's surface. you know what i think of nationalization. she had been dismantling the nationalized industries in england and was very supportive. in any event, i am very pleased to be here. this is a terrific institution. it is a symbol of service throughout many decades now, and i thank each of you for your patriotism and your dedication. first let me make a couple of comments about things i am not going to talk much about. the phrase, the first time i heard the phrase compassionate conservatism was a friend of mine named joe jacobs. he wrote a book entitled compassionate

period when blair and clinton exceeded thatcher and reagan. they moderated, but in a way consolidated the market space, the assumption that markets are the primary instruments for achieving public good. another factor is the end of the cold war. when the cold war ended, we had a kind of easy assumption, an easy fate that ours was the only system left standing, and we didn't really ask ourselves the question whether there are varieties of democratic capitalist systems. we drifted into a condition where market values and market relations began defining the whoalg of life -- the whole of life, not only the production an allocation of material goods. >> host: now, you talk about -- in your book, you go through several types of categories of the change and several types of examples of the change in these categories, and your first chapter is called "jumping," which is very interesting. you talk about how over the past couple decades, people have gotten into this habit of instead of waiting in line for a good or service, they pay to jump the line. >

thatcher. i do not believe that mrs.hatcher had that much time on your hands, but never mind. >> the point he is making is mrs. thatcher defended on your support -- depended on your support and you depended on her support. because of your -- which was just sky but became later, the merging with the two companies. >> i see what he's saying. i do not agree. >> ok. [inaudible] >> to 1990, the november of that year. >> editorials do not read by very many people the much. -- that much. and there were a lot of different opinions being put. >> your company consistently, 36% of the newspaper market. you are the biggest player in 1990 and you are the biggest player now, aren't you? >> if you are talking about newspapers alone? >> yes. >> well, put it this way. [unintelligible] every day. people can stop by my newspapers any time. often do, i am afraid. and it is only natural for politicians to reach out to editors, and sometimes proprietor's if they're available, to explain what they are doing and hoping that makes an impression

and in some ways it's symbolized by the arrival of ronald reagan and margaret thatcher who explicitly proclaimed that markets are the primary instrument for achieving the public good. but what's striking is that this shift -- you might even call it the rise of market triumphalism -- it lasted far beyond the reagan/thatcher period when tony blair and bill clinton succeeded thatcher and reagan, they moderated but in a way consolidated the market faith, the assumption that markets are the primary instruments for achieving the public good. i think another factor is the end of the cold war. when the cold war ended, we had a kind of easy assumption, an easy faith that ours was the only system left standing, and we didn't really ask ourselves the question whether there are varieties of democratic capitalist systems, not only one. and so we drifted into a condition where market values and market relations began defining the whole of life, not only the production and allocation of material goods. >> host: now, you talk about -- in your book you go through several types of categories of this ch

thatcher was in your mind before the election would that be right? >> well i think all newspapers. we had just come through the most terrible area of discontent strikes, disruptions to the whole society. i think we all wanted change. >> they were interviewed by mr. williams in time magazine. this is you speaking. what does libertarian mean? it will has been taken to the absolute limit. clearly there are necessary rules in a working society but they canning evident. >> the recent tweaks of yours>> that is rup pursuant murdock testifying. >>> it is a>> ainsley air paear is here with more. >> good morning patti ann. today's hearing is about the constitutionality of arizona immigration law specifically. but it will have huge ramifications for states all over the country especially for states like south carolina, alabama as well as utah which impacts similar laws. the arizona measure was the first of its kind signed republican governor jen brewer before 2010. they filed a lawsuit blocking several key parts. the most notable requires police to check each and every suspect's immigration s

rupert murdoch testified before the leveson committee and discussed former prime minister margaret thatcher'swnership of news corp. and his relationship with unions. >> it was quite an infamous occasion. one looks at the few numbers of people there and mr. factor and mr in them and you and the meeting was that your request. you see that? >> i hope you don't mind if i tease you about this. when you told the select committee on the nineteenth of july that he wished politicians would leave you alone, you were at this meeting. what we see -- >> from the company, the likelihood of a >>> of ownership. it was quite appropriate. >> that was probable and one outcome, might have closed the title if you couldn't sell them. there were two purposes. one was to give your thoughts about what is described here as the embryonic and developing reason administration. do you see that in paragraph 2? >> i think it shows at least the conversation, time taken up by american politics. >> in this way president-elect reagan and you were on the same page politically. weren't you? >> i guess. this was just before his in

he and his associates, john cook and francis thatcher, formed columbian harmony society to establish a cemetery for free blacks. he also was the district of columbia agent for william lloyd garrison's abolition publication the liberator in the 130s. around that same time, he built a schoolhouse for his sister, mary, on i street between 15th and 16th for the education of free blacks which was damaged in the riots of 1835. that would be right on the next street from where we are today. anecdotely, it should be noted that, francis scott key of star spangled banner fame, who happened to be a vestrymen in this very same church, was the district attorney at the time and was tasked with prosecuting young black man whose alleged transgressions of being drunk and attacking a white woman precipitated the snow riot. during this time, the children of lynch were actively employed. throughout the con -- community. samuel, owen, william and james were finding other means of employment by serving as laborers in the various government agencies in the immediate area while also developing the family ha

is that because of the shift of the market triumphalism lasted far beyond the ronald reagan and thatcher period where tony blair and bill clinton exceeded reagan and they moderated but consolidated the market faces, the assumption that they're the primary instrument for achieving the public good and another factor is the cold war and cold war ended, we had a kind of easy assumption, and easy take that hours was the only system left standing and we didn't really ask ourselves the question whether there are varieties of space capitalist systems so we drifted into a condition where the market fell use and market relations began defining the whole of life, not only the production and allocation material goods. >> host: in your book you go through several types of categories of this change in several types of examples of this change in these categories and in the one chapter is called long jumping which is very interesting. you talk about how over the past couple of decades people have gotten into this habit of instead of waiting in line for the other service, they pay to jump the line. talk

probably her most fascinating relationship with margaret thatcher, and in the course of my reporting i gained some great insight into how that relationship worked and some of which contradicted the common view. the queen doesn't of executive power, but she does have unique influence in her role as the head of state she represents the government officially at home and abroad but also serves as the head of asian faugh which means she connects with people to reward their achievements and remain in touch with their concerns triet two decades ago in the normal retirement age she still does something like 400 engagements a year. traveling around the united kingdom to cities as well as tiny hamlets. charles reserved as the private secretary to both john major and margaret thatcher told me the clean knows every inch of this country in a way that no one else does. she spends so much time meeting people that she has an understanding of what people's lives are like. she understands what the normal human condition is. she's also spend an extraordinary amount of time honoring citizens and members

we know margaret thatcher was the first prime minister to employ mr. murdoch as a newcomer to this country. it was tony blair who really embraced him. he is now the godfather to one of mr. murdoch's children. he flew to australia to speak to a meeting of news international executives. then his successor, gordon brown, apparently the murdoch and the brown family is so close that their children used to play together right behind me there. rupert murdoch is furious at the impact of this public inquiry on his business, his reputation, and let's remember, on his corporate wealth as well. >> ok. that will be a very fascinating hearing. thank you so much. and in other news from around the world, the secret service scandal surrounding barack obama's visit to colombia earlier this month has seen more agents revealed resigning. that brings the number 28. -- to 8. the first criminal charges have been filed in the deepwater horizon case. and engineer has been accused of destroying evidence. it allegedly outlined how the measures to prevent the outflow of oil were

in 1981, two years bomargaret thatcher's first term, murdoch was allowed to circumvent monopoly rules to buy papers. and it was waived again for his satellite tv purchase. in 1998, murdoch asked prime minister blair to squash a european investigation that would further delay another of his broadcast projects in 2003. blair allegedly added a last-minute clues a bill that allowed newspaper owners to also purchase television stations. the clause is referred to, for reasons that are apparently unclear to the chairman of news corp, as "the murdoch clause." ( laughter ) of course i do notice that there's no david cameron involvement. perhaps the current prime minister alone was able to withstand the australian's innocent charms. >> mr. cameron flying out to santorini on your yacht. you have no recollection of at all of that, do you? >> it's coming back it me vaguely. actually, i checked with my daughter because he was being flown, i believe, by my son-in-law's plane, on his way to holiday in turkey. and he did stop in santorini, and she says that i in fact met him on her boat. but it doesn'
