conducted pipe successive governments for prolonging the conflict. well, law alessandra romp yet he joins us live from bogota. sala sandra. how significant was this 1st meeting with some of those who suffered so much? i yes, gary, they and their report was officially presented to column in the world 24 hours ago . and today was the 1st meeting by the truth commission to share their fight evenings with representative of the victim of family members of people who died during the conflict direct and big things of kidnappings and other crimes. and many of the horrors that were connected through the decades, i had this very, very long and complicated internal. com, sega, and this will be just the 1st a series of meetings across the country to share those findings. and then also to start working towards a national, packed,

and national agreement to support to not only the history that has been written and a final report, but also this report. and the truth commission is hoping to have a number of recommendations that they're asking to be implemented by the next the government. and as you were saying in your introduction, many of these findings have been mind boggling for many people here in columbia. 450000 deaths, that's almost a previous estimate of 260000 people killed that during this conflict. just to give you another example, in the case for this placement. also those number went up greatly. also, in the case of people who have disappeared during the conflict that the, all the estimate that number around 70000 people. and he said,

this report says that at least a 121000 people were this appeared during the conflict and possibly they're still making number of under reported cases. and the final number could probably be around 210000 and other sanjay. you mentioned that the report recommends major reforms in the country to avoid a repetition of the conflict. but how achievable is that a well, obviously, and that the reforms that they're asking for a very deep major changes in the way that security is dealt. went in the country and the major transformation in the countries are armed forces, for example, that have been responsible for many atrocity and human rights violations. what i can tell you is that the new government of gustavo fed, through the will, began in august as all really said,

that they will do everything they can to start implement deep visa a reform. and there is no doubt that there is a majority for change in the country. it was reflected in the last election then it said, reflected in many polls in that sense. so in many ways, there is a feeling here that columbia might be ready to change that the page and start moving in that direction. at to day, the country saw at one of the most unexpected pictures, which was a meeting between gustavo pedro and his arch nemesis. former president, alberto dba, who was one of the strongest opposers of the peace deal in this country. so maybe there is a possibility to start negotiations and to start working towards an agreement to do so. okay, i listened to your life from okay, thank you for that. now, journalist in the northern mexico has been shot dead outside his home until you de la cruz worked for

his crimes have been committed over 3 decades. yeah. in full view of the world, spotlight. so you know, he sold a 100000000 records. few people in the music industry have ever been successful. i think there's 2 reasons. number one was race of the dozens of young women i've interviewed who were girls at the time and they were abuse. it is and i have said i was a young black girl who is going to believe me. we don't believe women in general. we especially do not believe black girls. and i heard that thousands of times and the other thing was money. while he kept generating money for the music industry. everyone turned a blind. i'm starting with the music industry, but also the courts, the schools in chicago, most of journalism, the black church. it was never a secret, this predatory behavior,

but no one cared about the girls and no one wanted to derail the gravy trait. to what extent, then, do you think this is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the impunity of celebrity? oh, i think it absolutely is. you know, bill cosby was convicted and then that was overturned. it took decades to put harvey weinstein on trial. woody allen still has not faced a reckoning, but you know, it's systemic in america. last week, a woman's right to control her body was revoked. when the supreme court overturned 50 years of grovee wade and to the justices driving that decision, had been credibly accused by women. doctor christine blessing for the doctor, anita hill. we didn't believe them. we don't believe women, you know,

the ongoing struggles of me to black lives matter are intertwined, and america is, is one step forward and to step back on both france. well, given what you say, then what should be done going forward? how much do institutions need to change? i think institutions need to be shamed when they fail as dramatically as they did with r. kelly. the music industry has self destructed. the old major label system is gone and digital technology has replaced it. but police need to believe black women, the courts need to believe young black girls. the church is need to be shamed when they take our kelly's money and become his spiritual advisor rather than caring about the lives he's ruining. i think it's a responsibility of every citizen to hold these institutions to account and then we

have the problem of i understand this man's music. touch people deeply. i believe i can fly with kids. kindergarten, graduation song. and step in the name of love was many people's wedding songs, ignition re, max power, every backyard barbecue, many people went to for a year. for that music was there's as much as is, but what the mute r kelly movement started by 2 brilliant black female activists in atlanta. what they were saying was not censorship. they were saying thing smart, if you disagree with what someone is doing to your community, don't give them your money. that's capitalism. and the fewer purest terms. i think that censorship don't support for people or institutions that do harm in your community. ok with affidavit that in there. again, thank you very much. indeed for your time here on out there. you bet. i'll to

garner now where there have been more protests of the high cost of living and alleged official corruption. wednesday's demonstrations with peaceful, unlike the day before when several people were injured. awkward interest reports from the capital crop this back for a 2nd day of protest despite and only a crackdown are meeting with the countries deputy finance minister and then to march to the parliament. while the demonstrations demanded the government reverse what they called purity economic policies. today, the ordinary canyon is struggling to afford this grim city. not having to spend it . because we are suffering from 14 dana cities in 2016 the prize of a gallon of diesel in federal. i've galloped. we're hoping this one gonna see. today the price of a bag of spent has galloped from $20.00 in gunnison to stitch gonna cease the
