the integrity of very serious crime of crimes against humanity and indeed beyond that genocide is maintained for overall justice that is a good thing, those standards should never be relaxed even in favor of -- even if they mean that somebody who is not at all a very pleasant man should walk free. >> when you talk about the present climate in the balkans, are you referring to a surge in nationalism which would have been something that in 1995 and you were looking at scripting the future of that region, you would have hoped would have died out? >> do you know i think nationalism is on the way in the balkans a as i whole. serbia is now on the path of reform, he is now increasingly isolated. croatia of course has joined. there is evidence that albania is moving in the right

direction. the one place that does not is i am afraid boss knee and herzegovina and that is air are serious because boss knee is a powder keg if they go bad the rest goes bad. who did i blake? some of the politicians in particular the highly nationalist president of the remember kick, prime minister of the republic the enclave, the serb enclave on bosnia who is playing nationalism as an opportunity. but i am bound to say that i cannot exclude the leadership of brussels from this either, because brussels who followed a strong and engaged policy, even a muscular policy for the first 10 years after dayton has followed an appease. policy since. and what that has meant is that nationalism is now much more powerful and beginning to pull bosnia in the wrong direction, local politicians may have some blame to for that but does does

the european union in brussels. >> is part of it the fact that the area hasn't moved on those vying for power oregon in power many of the old faces and old policieses are still in place. >> but that isn't true, it isn't true of croatia orser bee uh-huh true a couple of three years ago but serbia moving -- of course you are going to get resid vitts. we can still have holocaust deny ebbs searched years after the hollanholocaust. it's true in bosnia you hit on an very important thing, the message of building peace after war is a sustainable peace cannot be built untillal politicians who ran the conflicts are swept aside and replaced by others. that's true and coming true across the rest of the balkans it's not true of bosnia and herzegovina those who run the political system are the same as those that ran the war, what they do is use the peace to

before acting. the opposition is hoping to capitalize on the momentum. but it's unlikely to succeed with getting an impeachment through parliament which is dominated by zuma's party, the african national congress. analysts say the anc won't abandon their leader until it sees what voters do in this year's local election. >> many people who have for years fork decades, perhaps even for a century believed in and supported the anc are going to be second-guessing themselves. >> reporter: the political uncertainty around zuma is hurting the economy and that affects the ability of millions of families to put food on the table. with the opposition's hunger for change is met by voters will be known in a few months. but what seems certain that the president has rarely been more vulnerable. a belgian court has cleared the way for the suspect of the paris attacks to be extradited to france. the federal prosecutors' office says both countries will now have to decide on how to

speakable fate. yet we must face the fact that a number of troops who were sent to protect people instead acted with hearts of darkness. these crimes fester in silence, that is why the secretary general is shaping a spotlight on these despicable depraved and deeply disturbing allegations. he has been unrelenting in confronting this scourge and raising it pro actively at every opportunity. this constant and loud advocacy must be matched by the actions of member states who alone have the power to discipline their forces with real consequences. this is essential to restoring trust in the invaluable institution of peacekeeping and even more importantly to provide full measures of justice and healing to the affected communities. >> central african republic new president, new start, and yet the same old story. and the same old story for the united nations it's not just here, this crops up an awful

inches away from within bows. now, the concern also is that this is a very heavily populated area, very busy during the day. and when the bridge came down in midday, it was just teeming with people at the height of commercial activities near a metro station and a market and people say that the area under the bridge should have been cordoned off so people couldn't pass through it. but that would have blocked off the roads and blocked access to many of the buildings. so it was left open. there were no barricades, people are passing underneath it, cars were parked underneath this is why they fear that the death toll is so high. >> not surprising looking at the damage that's been cause go ahead. thank you that's divya our correspondent who has just arrived in calcutta on the scene of that terrible collapsing of a bridge that is being build at the moment. or was being built. coming up on the news hour there are tributes to the celebrated architect who died at
