There is no definition of terrorism and there is still the reality that one person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter.

One of the things that I noticed with my own eyes was Nelson Mandela ability to engage with kings and queens and heads of state on the one hand, and his ability to engage with ordinary people, equally comfortably.

Nelson's Mandela own sense of himself was a very humble reading, [different] from how the world read him. And, quite often, you had the sense that he was not comfortable with all the accolades that would be.

The city of Copenhagen is a climate crime scene tonight, with the guilty men and women fleeing to the airport in shame. World leaders had a once in a generation chance to change the world for good, to avert catastrophic climate change. In the end they produced a poor deal full of loopholes big enough to fly Air Force One through.

Struggles only move forward when decent men and women step forward and say, 'enough is enough and no more.'

[Nelson] Mandela was very keen not to be understood as an exceptional person.

I think even though he [Nelson Mandela] was feted and praised as he was, he always was at pains to say, I'm a human being.
