Bill Clinton is here with his hand out for Haiti.
 
As an orator the former US president was in fine form. He made a passionate plea for immediate cash and – perhaps just as importantly – long term investment.
 
He seems to have aged since the earthquake, Haiti is a country very close to his (and Hillary’s) heart. They honeymooned there and since the country was hit by several serious hurricanes in 2008, Mr Clinton has been the UN’s Special Envoy to Haiti.
 
Despite the familiar images of the terrible destruction in Haiti and the loss of life, he’s convinced the country will "rise from the ashes".
