:05:40. > :05:43.Not many Iraqis had a problem with removing Saddam Hussein, he was a

:06:22. > :06:25.sectarian civil war. Lots of people contributed to that, including
:06:26. > :06:31.Iraqis, also Iran, but what I would say, and there is a lot of evidence
:06:32. > :06:34.for this, is that the invasion set off a chain of circumstances that

:08:55. > :09:00.That's something these days in the Conservative Party!

:09:06. > :09:10.She knows the City, she knows what needs to be done.
:09:11. > :09:12.And I think she's a woman with conviction.
:09:13. > :09:15.Today, Mrs Leadsom tried to brush off remarks she made three years ago
:09:16. > :09:20.in which she said leaving the EU would be a disaster for our economy.
:09:21. > :09:23.But in the referendum she campaigned strongly for Brexit.
:09:24. > :09:26.One reason, David Cameron's attempt at reform.

:18:23. > :18:26.Wimbledon was still coming to terms with the loss of top seed Novak
:18:27. > :18:31.Djokovic, knocked out by Sam Querrey yesterday, the biggest shock so far.
:18:32. > :18:36.That defeat for Djokovic has blown the men's draw wide open. In theory,
:18:37. > :18:39.it means Andy Murray becomes the new favourite, but he insists he is
:18:40. > :18:45.taking nothing for granted. And rightly so, even he will play the
:18:46. > :18:51.unpredictable Nick Kyrgios next, after his win against Feliciano
:18:52. > :18:54.Lopez today. If Murray can cut Nick Kyrgios out of the picture, he will

:20:33. > :20:38.A sprawling western, it took a year to shoot and cost
:20:39. > :20:47.They'd given the director near total freedom to make a masterpiece.
:20:48. > :20:48.He had sets replaced because he didn't
:20:49. > :20:52.The shoot took ages, the budget spiralled
:20:53. > :20:54.and it was inevitable that it was going to lose money.
:20:55. > :20:58.Plus, in America, it came out and they didn't like it.
:20:59. > :21:01.The film became a byword for a director's self-indulgence.
:21:02. > :21:03.Cimino's reputation never recovered and the studio,
:21:04. > :21:10.But that, said Cimino later, wasn't his fault.
:21:11. > :21:12.What's never mentioned is all the hundreds of millions
:21:13. > :21:16.of dollars expended on movies which never saw the light of day,
:21:17. > :21:23.which is still really became a leading interest,
:21:24. > :21:26.-- still really accumulating interest.
