Although most of the Russians want to stick to their own opinions, there are some Russians that understand and acknowledge the services the UK prime minister has done Russia – toning down criticism of alleged human rights abuses, working hard to bring Russia closer to Nato and the European Union. The Russia officials have acknowledged the contribution British expertise, know – how and money have made there country’s reforms over recent years. Fundamental differences still remain.
President Pudin did let Mr. Blair at a news conference, no that they do not know where Saddam is. His exact words were: “We do not know whether perhaps Saddam is still hiding somewhere underground in a bunker sitting on cases containing weapons of mass destruction, and is preparing for blowing the whole thing up bringing down with him the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.”
That lets me further know that the job is not being done, as far as, finding this man. There are so many people, innocent people, who may lose there lives because the government is not doing there job correctly. Saddam has been on so many news television programs giving up plenty of information, probably thinking about a better plan, while the government does nothing in all there power like they would do for anything else that they want. The world is not changing.
Fuel, Finance and Politics By: “BBC Sunday AM”
In this article there was an interview instead of a reporter telling everything. The gentleman that was being interviewed was Gordon Brown. He basically told the BBC Sunday AM show that the more substantial challenge right now is on fuel prices and there impact on the economy.
He said that he understood the frustration particularly of hauliers, where the competitiveness is affected by rising petrol and diesel prices. This is not a public issue, it’s a global challenge and it’s got to be met by global measures. Gordon was doing all that he could do to help, if not fix, this matter. He had meetings with the OPEC ministers, and the European Union will be talking to the oil-producing countries. Not only is he talking to those people that I just named but he is also talking to others to get to get this all worked out. Like Russia, Norway, and other oil producers outside of OPEC.
Three things need to be taken into consideration. One of them is get agreement on increased supply. The second one is that we need transparency in the oil business. The third thing is that we need oil producing countries, particularly OPEC, use the $300 billion, they’d gain $300 billion from this. And they use that invest in new capacity, and of course in America particularly, we need new refining capacity.
Gordon wanted us to know that he is aware of the problems that low income families face with petrol prices going up. He feel bad and everything but just five years ago we had bigger problems than gas prices increasing, and this indeed is a global problem.
Blair’s standing ‘never higher’, says Clinton
Mr. Clinton says the prime minister’s standing in America and Britain “has never been higher.” The friendship between the two men is so good. But the democrat ex-president had harsh words for left-wingers who accuse Mr. Blair of “Being unprincipled.
Britain is making a notable transition into the 21st century – in no small measure because of my leadership friend and your party leader, Prime Minister Tony Blair,” says Mr. Clinton. Political leaders around the world recognize the political talents and personal appeal of someone who led your party after years of opposition to not just one, but two landslide victories and has already achieved so mauch change for good.
Critics hate they are not in charge. Tony Blair is, after all, successful Labour prime minister leading a successful, progressive, Labour government tackling successfully problems which drew all of us on the centatre- left into politics. “It’s true that he’s not gone back to the old and failed politics, but instead had made his party and the country face up to change. That’s a good thing, not a bad thing.
