7:10 pm
i saw there. but i think there has been a terrific. attempt to to reconcile again but i think the i mean one of the problems was that it wasn't properly covered at the time why because the biggest election was going on in south africa south africa's first election and all the journalists were there i covered that and then i dashed back to rwanda. and the other thing is that there was no attempt to intervention if you remember the year before the americans had tried to invade somalia and bring peace there and they had fled from that. country and the idea they were going to intervene anywhere else in africa clinton said absolutely you know so that genocide went ahead without any outside intervention at all. and it was a very very

7:12 pm
intervention do you think. the world has learned these lessons do you think we've there we've taken these lessons on board well i would hope so but as i say they had the lesson they had but that was in the minds of clinton and blair was you know we just mustn't get involved because of the disaster in somalia . and they you know these little countries with people with funny names i mean they remember the foreign office person saying look we're just not bothered about these little countries anymore you know where we're part of a big a much bigger global community and you know if they want to fight let them fight i mean that was a nobody wanted to go there was no intervention whatever. richard we'll have to leave it there but thank you so much for sharing your experiences and your analysis today this richard judd and journalist who covered the genocide back

oil to the government stripped of his legislative immunity which means he can be arrested at any moment despite warnings of retaliation from the united states the sign reads the next exit is meet a flautist meet afloat as is the presidential palace but it is wishful thinking if these people believe that president nicolas maduro is going anywhere anytime soon and so the real task of the opposition leaders now is to try to keep these people out on the streets for the long haul. the large demonstration in caracas was peaceful but in the northern city of daraa riot police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters why the admitted that more sacrifices are needed. but his most sobering message was directed at those who are calling for u.s. military intervention. i though says it's up to the news wayland's to lead the charge for regime change a clear reference to the trumpet ministrations recent admission that military action is not in the cards for now. seeing human just because the
