...help that there's a seething rivalry between the two main leaders-Zia, 61, the widow of assassinated President Ziaur Rahman, and Hasina, 59, daughter of Bangladesh's first President, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, who was also murdered. Hasina believes Zia's husband knew of the plot to kill her father. Six years ago, on a visit to Dhaka, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter tried to get the two to shake hands, but neither could bring herself even to look at the other.

The key is trying to keep control of your diary and make sure you have time at home and time with your children and I make sure that happens. Today is going to be a failure. Because of the high winds I don't think I'm going to get home tonight. But last night I was home...
...David Cameron: I don't know whether it's a new style. To me it's just obvious. If you've got three children under 5 and you want to be a good father and be there when they're growing up, you've got to make time. So that means you need strict rules about when politics stops and family starts. I try to do that...
