i remember tony blair talking about when he first came in to see queen elizabeth.a father was prince to prince william? when i was chatting to them on the phone yesterday -- [applause] [laughter] surprised to discover, because it is not a popular view in the press, i do not think it is media friendly, the two boys have a terrific relationship with their father. people like to imagine they were their mother's children and their mother was cruelly ripped from them and their father is this cold and attached bumbling guy who cares more about architecture that his family. i do not think that is true. from all the impressions i've got, they are a super close family. charles has been a terrifically supportive and loving father. they love and adore him. charlie: he is the only person they really have. oliver: the drama belongs on the stage and in the tabloids. the reality is, they love him and he loves them and they are in a unique position. i am british, i was brought up anyish and i do not know other way. they do not know anything else. charlie: what influence does camil

tony blair, the former prime minister of the united kingdom, maybe is the most forthright about ambiguousations over the last decade, even two decades. my morning must-read is from prime minister blair. i thought this was a very nuanced piece for the critics of prime minister blair as well as those who support him. we should think of the middle east and islam as being in a process of transition. tales -- this dovetails perfectly into eurasia group. -- middle east and northeast the middle east and north africa practice for eurasia group -- it's a shoe back to the time of our romney and the the idea of a wrist -- the idea of a wistfulness. hani: one of the things that he is probably arguing for is talking about countries were rule of law matters most. i do not think that is across the region. i think the one country that will probably happen is maybe tunisia, this is not a country that has a great deal of influence on the rest of the region. tunisia is not egypt, saudi arabia, syria, iraq. with a nobel prize going to one of their leaders. in the tribal history of these nations, how close ar
