11:03 am
it does not tory to criticism. and so it just showed the right to the, to the system, often wonder of the dictatorship are does while the, this is a good i've been fighting for, for human rights and wonderful democracy in wanda. and he didn't even try to become victim products. i nearly 20th earlier, he became famous when the hollywood film hetero rhonda told his story. his credited with saving more than 1200 lives during rendezvous 1994 genocide. more than half a 1000000 tutsis and many his were killed by a who to militia during a civil war. the rondon patriotic front led by poor guy may want the war and took power. carmella became president and recess of argona became his critic. rhonda accused him of supporting an armed creep that wanted to overthrow the government. we have maintained all serious concerns about this case,
11:04 am
especially as with regards to political violence. but i'm groups including those that are led by people operating from develop countries. but we have the now agreed on fundamental principles. and are we able to to, to move forward with this sir? humanitarian release recess of akin, a has belt and citizenship and was a resident of the u. s. 3 years ago, he was deceived into boarding a plane in to buy and later appeared in rhonda capital kigali in handcuffs. right script say he was kidnapped. rwanda's government says his sentence has been commuted after a presidential order. barbara and go par alto sarah, will you as president joe biden? welcome. the news saying quote, to paul's family is eager to welcome him back to the united states and i share the
11:05 am
joy. today's good news. he also thank the rwandan government for making this reunion possible. as well as guitar and u. s. government officials who worked on this. now my colleague steve clemens, host of al 0 is the bottom line, has interviewed rwandan president pork ago, me twice in recent months. and he shared this with us. but a remarkable change. the turn of events in december i interviewed president could guy may, he said he would not be bullied into making a decision and that it would it take an invasion to get paul recess of again out of prison in march in doha, he's i asked him, i said, how's that position going? and he said, you know, sometimes you have to forgive the unforgivable and i got goosebumps on the back of my neck. i said, wow, they are going to release paul recess to begin. and then i said to him on stage it in the interview, if may, if you make that decision, will you give me a call? and they did. and so i think that the united states, with a lot of assistance from cutter,
