like the oslo process, because the oslo process was kissingerian in its design. it introduced kissinger's notions of a step by step incremental process, oslo had three phases of israeli withdrawal with no endgame, no sacred time, no reference to palestinian state, jerusalem or refugees. that was exactly what kissinger had in mind in the peace process. you just two steps of territorial withdrawal, build confidence, exhaust the powers until eventually, palestinians would accept israel and then israel could talk about giving up most of the 1967 territory it occupied step that was oslo and that was kissinger. he was very pleased that oslo adopted that approach. he supported that very strongly. when rabin was assassinated, we went to camp david and abandoned oslo and as a consequence, we blew up the process. now kissinger says palestinians should have attributes of sovereignty, should be a state in the making with its institutions being built and regaining control of the territory and attributes of sovereignty on the way to eventual statehood. he is a two state man an

he liked the oslo process interestingly because the oslo process was kissinger in in its design. it introduced kissinger's notions of a step-by-step incremental process. oslo had three phases of israeli withdrawal with no endgame, no timetables, no reference to palestinians, jerusalem refugees so that was exactly what kissinger had in mind with the peace process. you have steps of territorial withdrawal, build confidence, exhaust the powers until eventually palestinians would accept israel and then israel could talk about giving up most of the territory it occupied in 167. that was oslo that was kissinger and he said he was very pleased that it adopted that approach. so that was hisbasic idea. he supported that very strongly . when raven was successor as i said, we went to camp david and we abandoned oslo and as a consequence, we blow up the process. now he says, kissinger says most indians should have attributes of sovereignty. it should be a state in the making with its institutions being built and regaining control over territory and attributes of sovereignty. all the way to e

the german fleet was in oslo as i mentioned. oslo, norway. .. in the uk and we had charge of that part of the worst space although we were in russian water. on the belief which was the largest effective battleship in the world was house there in the belief that was going to come out and attack ships admiral pound ordered all of the support away from this convoy so in a matter of hours in five days from the court where they were sailing to this convoy was -- 34 ships, 11, count them 11 ships went through and the rest were sunk. you can make it in for five minutes in the ships can't stop and they can't stop and pick you up and in the end 120 u.s. allied men died. most were killed immediately when they hit the water and those that survived came out crippled, maimed and emotionally scarred for life. he remains one of the saddest shameless episodes of the war. but again we are dealing with human beings. when that war ended i was in the pacific ocean. i was on a ship that was destined to be in the invasion of the canal and i was on a tanker often call

that was oslo and that was kissinger. he said to me -- he was very pleased he had adopted an approach. that was his basic idea. he supported that strongly. when he was assassinated, as i said, we went to camp david. as a consequence, we blew up the process. now, kissinger says, palestinians should have attributes of sovereignty, should be a state in the making, with these institutions being built, and we are gaining control of the territory and attributes of sovereignty, on the way to eventual statehood. he is a two state man. he says, i mean, to make the final point here, kissinger's process always involved israel giving up territory. that was what we were hated the process -- that was what lubricated the process. i think that his view is --and he says this in a book he wrote --that israel cannot base its existence on the naked use of force alone. if it does so, meaning occupying the west bank forever, if it does so, he said it would consume its moral substance. that's --i mean, that is a pro found statement about the fu

the german fleet was in oslo, as i mentioned, oslo, norway, they have water temperature in that area of 45 degrees below zero, 45 degrees below zero. you hit the water, you got four or five minutes and you're done. hypothermia takes you. hurricane winds creating waves 60 to 70-foot high. you can look this up and you'll see portrayals of this and you'll see the ships. they have pictures of the ships coated with ice and the men out there with hatchets chopping the ice to keep the ship mobile. there was an admiral in uk, in what is today great britain, the united kingdom. and that admiral had charge of that part of the war space. although we were in russian water and american ships, he was in charge. on the belief that the ship i mentioned which was the largest, most effective battleship in the world, was housed there. and the belief that was going to come out and attack ships, the admiral ordered all of the support away from this convoy. all of the support. within a matter of hours and five days from the port where they were sailing to, this convoy was condemned to death. 34 ships. 11,

located in oslo and worth more than a trillion dollars, norway's sovereign wealth fund owes its existence to the country's vast reserves of oil and gas. it claims to be an ethical investor, so there was some consternation when it appointed my guest today, nicolai tangen, as its new boss. is a risk—taking, flamboyant hedge fund manager the right man to steer the world's biggest sovereign wealth fund? nicolai tangen, welcome to hardtalk. thank you very much. you currently manage a sovereign wealth fund which is worth roughly $1.1; trillion — an unimaginable sum of money which is not your money — it is actually the people of norway's money. why should they trust you to manage it for them? well, in a way, you should ask the people that hired me. but i think the reason i think i got thejob was because i have been running capital for 30 years. i've been in that business for a very long time and also seen some ups and downs, you know? i'm sure you have. running capital is sort of a jargon phrase but in essence, you founded and ran a hedge fund that was worth billions of dollars in its own

also reported at the time was the aftermath of the oslo accords agreements between israel and the palestine liberation organization. alger 0 reporting of the arab israeli conflict broke new ground airing, not just palestinian opinion, but also israeli views with one of them were for what but he doesn't know what he i do it by them home to look any modern technology enabled al jazeera camera crews to be present at key events throughout the middle east. from southern lebanon to iraq were west and imposed sanctions, were linked to increased malnutrition among children. al jesse retained prominence during the so called operation desert fox, the joint u. s. and u. k. bombing campaign against iraq. alger 0 was the only news network to have reporters on the ground. a lot of this exclusive covering from the, at the center of an intensive 5 day ariel bombing campaign, introduced al jazeera to a wider audience. ah, remember comments when i worked for some of the other leading global networks, there were times when, you know, my line managers would say, hey, switch on al jazeera arabic, see what they'
