Tony Blair is making his long-awaited appearance before the UK's inquiry into the Iraq war.
So far, he has denied striking a "covert" deal with George Bush to invade Iraq at a private meeting in 2002 at the US president's ranch.
Mr Blair said he had been "open" about what had been discussed - that Saddam Hussein had to be dealt with and "the method of doing that is open".
He said he had told the US president: "We have to deal with his WMD and if that means regime change so be it."
