Okay all right so the next voice we will hear it's fourteen year old Rahul Delhi has from a London. Ronald good morning -- yeah good morning for -- good afternoon for you. -- get annoying yes. Well I love that are any.

So that accent that is a beautiful brilliant Rahul. Americans here. Have no idea what cricket is this thing crickets -- bugs that make lots of noise in the summertime. Could you explain the sport of cricket to our American audiences.

Yeah I have could have done 100 people letting things -- bring and I did it click it fatty like baseball. -- cricket plant so blatantly denied it but I think come. The new machine kind of rules and regulations of the game that pretty much the same. One -- old little afraid explorer and another month hit back and done.

Given you guys can't ever it is in the guy batting woody called a guy who's batting. What we are we gonna learn about bats Arkansas the batsman is up there for hours is an.

He he would not Boehner thinks that cricket he can -- for a phi beta a try it without actually getting any luck.

So it's like because like politics well small business and good politics but. All right so -- you've got the the more and the batsman and are there yet either strikes and balls like we have baseball.

Well back DR have to build -- people than not comes Dickey and I -- And that the Batman get past -- as many runs it he can Andy he ate dinner gala ball like get him out.

OK so anyway if I'm the guy with the panel. The batsman I swing I hit the -- what happens.

You keep playing you get the correct -- The big right running around me and the outside of protection and if he'd. Get editor sat right here you can go for around. And say keep saying get that right he did keep running until the bullish returned to the --

Who returns are the guys standing out there was gloves like in our game.

And and that they had one guy standing behind the -- he's got gloves on and then that nine man. It can be met any Larry I'm not failed.

okay so there are many similarities that is these guys aren't is -- with a number of how much players on.

And I am I today Monday.

And it's so if it do if they catch the ball it's airborne news is that part of the rule still was saying that that -- then about.

Yet the and that I Barack and tried in cricket ever think about seventeen wait to get out but not --

And and once the team that's in the field defending against the batsmen. Today you then get it turned. Batting.

Yeah they have to get him -- diet and and they need to take a few teams twit -- us. And the team not warned they obeying band.

No what do you do we have enough trouble just playing. The street hockey in this country when our kids. Because usually at 5 o'clock you have to go home for dinner maybe 6 o'clock if your games last for five days playing cricket. That is and everybody dying of starvation.

Heard pretty much don't -- in -- he we actually have break for lunch and then break Thursday does not mean -- and dying with.

He is -- no sense that you're and they drew about agreeing this is like I don't spar -- plus soft stuff. How high -- and we can get that done employees. That's wonderful and I gonna be broadcasting from next cricket -- did I do this has been clarified because I why it's always appeared is incomprehensible to me Erica got big. -- second humanitarian.

it is good bet that. I have a friend in -- You've got the -- about the last notepad and it it competed they had bet they email I think a lot of the act. I gave -- similar to cricket in and I can follow and I I enjoy watching thankful.

Well if you get out here this summerall who loved Todd and I would love to take you up to Fenway Park we might not be able to explain. How much of the game but we we can certainly explain the Fenway hot -- there we're probably won't really get tickets -- I'm going to back outside in the cold and say it can't get some tea and scone.

Yes. I know we can end gun. -- go let's talk a little politics Tony Blair was a close allies of George W. Bush in going to war in Iraq. And apparently as as it works very well politically for George W. Bush -- made him mentally popular here but I understand Tony Blair hasn't heard as well and England and today. A couple years after he lesson left the prime ministership he's been raked over the coals as we say. On this side of the water. Over the decision making process to ally himself with the US can you fill -- in a little bit.

Well yeah I mean quite a lot of people in Britain that and I -- environment. -- tuning into that choke on inquiry which it lacked any direct. They came back saying to me leading the country into the world. -- and I think that's mainly particular lot of people wanted to enact conscience there's that.

Oh you mean some of the other politicians feel guilty for not having maybe stood up and fought him.

Yeah I mean it could not get the politician and I think a lot of people and break an old saying and we stained. Quite La and we just want someone to stand up back in -- from global.

Row what's the Al -- the essence of the charge that he consciously. Are deliberately distorted. Intelligence. That he did not do good faith analysis summit what are the specific charges that he faces.

Well from my understanding. That he led the country into theater war in Iraq in leak -- they can go -- international law. And that EM went against the advice spared the -- humiliated and I can't be representatives. And making that decision.

But why does anybody in England care about internationalize we need your sovereign nation you can make your own decisions about these things can't.

I think it's because we can Arafat already and they cannot they need Barrett part of got an edge.

But right it could not be audio system if I if I understand it correctly could not be Tony Blair by himself members of his own prodding. Could have. Moved against him and certainly. Conservative and other opposition parties. Could have similarly. Moved against him if he was doing this on -- as the -- nonetheless by default it -- people accommodated that.

Yet or. Keep thanking you should be about.

Now let's say he's all along Lyndon that we don't blame me forget bored with the question. Breaux thank you very much for vividly from when America we can we do not want more order I year old I'm curious what is the impression of Barack Obama -- over -- after one year this president is a good question.

Indian main gang and -- The nine amended would actually. Am watching it very good program about the American perspective which you cannot candidate he can affect my immense. --

And -- what what is the mood is it that is there a sense there. Debt in the hopes that we saw a year ago our worry ill placed.

I'm I did and I think a lot of people to England to build support Obama.
