DONALD RUMSFELD
Secretary of Defense
BONO
Lead Singer, U2
Co-Founder, DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa)
With increased questions about the length and costs of U.S. involvement in Iraq, the Bush administration is facing mounting political pressure to define our mission, as well as our exit strategy. With us this Sunday to address the U.S. role in Iraq is the Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
Then, an exclusive interview with Bono, the lead singer of U2 who is also a leading voice fighting poverty in Africa. Bono – the co-founder of DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa) – will make his first appearance on “Meet the Press” to discuss the global fight against poverty and the July 2nd, “Live 8” series of concerts — which seek to encourage the G-8 nations to provide the world’s poorest nations with complete debt cancellation, increased aid, and more trade.
Rumsfeld and Bono — only on this Sunday’s “Meet the Press with Tim Russert.”
“Meet the Press” is regularly seen from 9-10 a.m. ET, except in Washington D.C. and New York City where the broadcast is seen from 10:30-11:30 a.m ET. Please check local listings or the “Meet the Press” website (www.mtp.msnbc.com) for airtimes in your area.

Live 8 is a series of concerts and events across the world which are being staged to highlight the problem of global poverty. It’s a chance for ordinary people to call on world leaders at this year’s G8 summit and tell them to put a stop to the needless deaths of 30,000 children every single day.
On 6th July 2005, the leaders of Great Britain, the USA, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Russia will meet at Gleneagles in Scotland to talk about world affairs, including Africa. They will be presented with a workable plan to double aid, drop the debt and make trade laws fair.
The G8 summit is our opportunity to demand that the world’s most influential leaders take action now.
Live 8 has organised concerts in Philadelpia, Berlin, London, Rome, Paris and Edinburgh, with 100 artists, a million spectators, two billion viewers and one message: Make Poverty History.
