of. he's been a central figure. it's key times of the country's history, including the civil war and see spar tools with the on separate this group known as a terminal tigers. and the deadly these to some of the bombings in 2019. when he was prime minister, i made the hudson and i'll be going head to head with full of president and 6 time 5 minutes. go through a long run ill, vic for missing a. i'll challenge him on his relationship with the roger punches. he's only staying, he is on the east, the sunday bombings and question why 3 long to is still so fall from finding just this for the victims of the civil war. tonight, i'll also be joined by a panel of experts nuge. they have a former presidential envoy for run a little bit from a single, missouri, a restaurant in the executive director, po and advocacy group. the time of human rights insulin comes from says harrison. both are still counting the dead. a book on the final stages of the citizens of the

runaway commission get thank you so much for joining me on the head to head today. in 2022 in the wake of shoot, you cannot make crisis. and someone comes taking to the street and the roger pipes, the political dynasty, basically following a pop paul them and makes you president of 3 long. can you stabilize the economy? you get a new i m s alone, you bring inflation down from 70 percent to 1.3 percent within the year. and then you lose the presidential election unit spots. you came 3rd last september. why do you think, despite that record the sort of income people rejected you so overwhelming? in 2 years? maybe i add to would be calling me back on track. and that seemed to be seen

pollution compression. moving everything into us it's, it's very, very difficult. we know, so i have no idea i can see that look at and we think that, you know, 1st stem was via sham by the if not for the dean in utah. yes. that, that's the problem. just saved it. kind of raj by the 2nd generation. you name meeting on the countries, the chances are that they will lose the election. i 1st gave me not on the election that no one to take away. and they would have been appointed to go to any economic collapse of the country. so your argument is that in that 2 years, you took painful steps and like other incumbents who are punished, there's a counter argument that says you're also seen very much as an establishment. man, you've been president once prime minister, 6 times minister of finance, industry science and technology education, profess employment,

deputy minister of foreign affairs. you've had almost every job title imaginable since 1977 since before i was born. so i'm going to say that you identify, but the stronger people with a lot of the countries politically in economic problems. you are mr. establishment in their eyes when i came out of this definition. but i was not, i started leaving the i want to do is wanted to make changes, and they knew that timeline from the time when ministered location. i was there any form, but i am not able to explain why i lost so sometimes when say, well that side copy, i'd be the job. okay, that's the bottom. do back, let's talk about how you did the job. and some would say that you had an opportunity to listen to young protestors who are out on the streets in through and can you squander that? you claim to be a quote, friend of the people you said. but within i was becoming president in the summer of 2022. you called in the military, you told them to do quote, whatever is necessary to restore order. and then they violated the crack down on protest as how is bringing in the military being a friend of the people?

no 15, uh, disregarded the views. are they on the but the president is a fine good by finding money. but i got the like 10, all my info, and then you have to the store. and why did you leave house if, if the following monday is being taken all by a month here. the mom walks into the following month. is that democracy or not? i mean, i'm gonna see international say that outside of your office, 94410 gas grenades were used by police against process. those i've heard are people with the internet and protests. don't tell me that the international he's discriminatory now. part of the bud because they're dig deeper and some of the my laughing. yeah us. i mean i'm just the tends to be discredited in countries. i'm driving central please. these are a group of people who killed one member of parliament that they were nearly killed and that the member of parliament was a major opponents of godaddy as your box and card for you. they didn't mention that, but the large number of houses that came in to go up a number there. in fact,

finding an european union says it was unnecessary. violence against protest isn't very long cut. the unwarranted use of force against peaceful demonstrate the road up here in union had funded some other agencies and a big goal. if i might indignation the same union that officer pre anthony of the manual folks, we have 3 lank out think on the crises. look like the 0 given you're lucky when they praise, you will know when the i'm just going to know i'm, i'm, i'm okay good. i got a good one for you, major on. so i got a little and you don't like the you, you don't like i'm to see you and human rights experts condemn the extensive prolong, repeated use of state emergency measures to crack down on peaceful protest as i am who i am, sorry, i love you and office and the high commissioner for human rights to highlight the, you know, the right, not the one you any like what are the you and to let that kind of talk about a really big will finish everything you want to say about the when the legal nation's the british call monroe, and then then the after that i realize, okay, i a higher premium. what it is before you were born. i know with the somebody

say so much i thought of a problem. but let me, let me ask you this. let me ask you this, you don't like you don't like the way you don't like amazon. you certainly don't mind. i'll ask if there's something i want you to critic funding. i didn't say i don't like the you. okay. but we have no problem to stage in the okay, we can spend a little by discussing of use of the den. okay. i'll ask you about the ladies who don't want me. i'm prepared to leave you and you'll say all you want to say and renew. finish out you 10 minutes and then give me 10 minutes for me. unfortunately, we don't have 10 minutes range on this, otherwise we'll be here all night. but let me, let me ask you this. are these items dancing? do you or do i can do for me? okay, well, we appreciate you flying here for this even though you wanna leave in the 1st 5. let me, let me ask you this. when you delayed storyline, cause little collections in 2023, the supreme court said that your actions resulted in infringement, a fundamental rights of the constitution due to arbitrary and unlawful conduct.

your president picked by the parliament not by the people. and he was so keen to avoid losing local elections that you just completely deflated your own constitution is almost from vehicle, not ported elections because we had no money. i think that the agreed by all the bodies that we, i really have the presidential election and the uh hm. uh, filing monthly elections in 2024 and kindly remember this case. just finding supreme court in printing 23, something called back that k. so, and they said no, can you ever wiler the fundamentals i used by that time that when know elections, we had stocked, we, we all want to get out of these mis. and that, that's why the, the, the reading that the super included just to kind of think don't so yeah, yeah. so what's your problem quote said you did have funds in the budget, the allocated for the fall and you still didn't all the election. you say you on the money, but you had enough money to attend the queen's funeral. here in the u. k. in september 2022 that you went to the japanese prime ministers. funeral in japan. you

get a lot of state visits, but you have no money for elections. waynesville in red. and the japanese priming east as funeral was inc printed printed to know the stuff. so i printed print, the 3, you know, i financially is learn from january 1st to december, 31st and i had to come, i wonder to come by you as the subject of the dispute is about the 2nd definitely not seen on she had the most popular think of that for you had now you're telling me don't come. probably knows. no, i'm sorry. you should've noted violated the comes to election. i mean why the constitution by coming to the court said you violated the, into the supreme court. whatever you in beverly and if they want to introduce our company. okay, thank you very much on the sounds what i said you are the only ones i heard. okay, let's talk about the protest. in 2022. i wanted to do a temp you became president and you know, i mean, you know, i want to go when you became president in 2022. and then

the month for the time was go to go home, which was go to by roger pike's to the president. he his shoes, you filled them, he fled in july, you've always maintained publicly that you'll pose the roger pox. as the family, they have dominated splunk and politics for twin to use. but unique name for a lot of people of mine is, you know, is running with roger pack. so you're being probably minutes, don't president on and off for over 30 years. what have you done? to have the roger pucks is responsible for their religious corruption and many other crimes. why do you say you were opposed to the window cleaning? not then i became prime minister means instead that natural being grad using 3. we created the financial crimes and division that was a separate the 2nd day and he had been going to cut option headed by me is done under. we did find that was donated that mean is default the object security. and there was another one to form a head of uh uh, i think i missed out value. i wonder who uh, translating to national been that was

a bright buddy commission. all of them investigated. we some bought our budget bucks up, prosecute that was, and he leased, by good bessy roger pump, prosecute ed a nama around your bucks. those prosecute dead your she thought your bucks us prosecute that has a name missing from your list. less than mine, the range of bucks a year to find dividends nice and evaluate, like your economy is the best seller. that allegations that he took $7000000.00 from attorneys corporation that i know there are many crimes. i refused to look in my country, is that done? he didn't write it who was not a party to cut a finger who decides on prosecution? you can only send the evidence before he at the end of the decided what this says, you. some of the building your covering up for them. i am not got him that i need unit. i'm not that i need. and then i watched the video of you actually, you attended the bus, they talked to you for the present mine to roger pucks in november 2023 from the beginning of your singing of the cake. right. and what's wrong, do you normally attend the bus? is all the people you're trained to be a poster. i mean needs to be along kind of as high. we mean we have,

i'd be for them to. but in the email, some legal for social functions, readings, people knows all of that. 5 and mr. mind that i the proxies guns and up to date night the fox has all of those. how is that a no, no. can you, can you your, your no, but on it and you are trying to say that to have an or does it matter? he said, tony didn't know decided just to prosecute or not. so i do. we will say that i don't need to. i don't want to be kidding on. i rena, posing the roger for the rest of them. no, maybe the allowing me to finish then that's the end of no, no you do really. that's what the issue is. the new to that is not. i am not new for you again, maybe what's my view west to being on the phone or even people and helping them to think i don't know yet. so i'm the one right now who's a half. i know these are these let's, let's bring it up on the switch and we'll do a restaurant. now. is this the new politics, electricity you invest in london, executive director of pile and advocacy group at the time of human rights

centurylink. how would you rate his presidency when it comes to accountability when it comes to dealing with roger fox? is one of these contentious issues inter longer? you know, as you said, president a former president like i'm a cigna is an establishment vega and he took the reform of the system that he's a product of as seriously as he's taking the interview by he came to power in 2022 . he was placed that by the roger boxes, the majority of them voted him into power against the wishes of the protesters who wanted to total system change. because the system of which he has been a part, it is committed, grave crimes if just produced, a report says amounting to genocide, but also then it has led to a collapse of the whole economy because these crime bass has stomach, right? so he came to power, he had a golden opportunity on the back of the momentum of those protest. right? to really go for system change. and instead what he did was he put the show back on the road. let me bring in an edge. they have a is a full, the presidential ongoing for a former president, brundle vicar, missing a from

a member of the british. and european problem is going to respond to my door saying that for the present, because it didn't take things serious. once has to be understood to have, maybe he's that said all kinds of any or democracy institutions. that's a policy right and watched us a lot. i found new york in union. so when he said that he as prime minister, then all president cannot prosecute someone, even if he wants to, because i'm like, yeah, the prosecution is determined by the attorney general who is not a member of the cabinet. he's an independent legal official. and i remember when i went to see that's how many set up the c d o. the simmons. so it stopped working because the source cad, i'm making a mistake that no one wanted to make a decision. so look, he's trying to prosecute. ok. i know. and he didn't, so let me get francis harrison. he's sitting next to a phone, the bbc. so you're on for correspondent, all sort of still counting the data book on the final stages of this one can symbol

you are shaking your head is now just speaking that what do you make of this argument that it's beyond the presidency to reform the system to get accountability for crimes to deal with corruption, both taking issue. first of all with the idea that the attorney general is independent. he's the lawyer for the government. every you and report talks about the conflict of interest that i would ask a former president whitcomb, a single why he didn't told go to buy a roger packs are accountable in so far as he assisted him to leave the country. people wanted him to be put on trial and there were pending cases against him that had only been dropped because he did quad had to stay to me and she, those cases could have been reopened. he let them escape the country. he doesn't come back to the country and nothing happened last spring. we're going to find the president responded with especially by go to by roger proxy. you become president. he leaves the country and he went to the molds and then he came back and you didn't do anything me some more time, better either box headspace or done and come monday and t for the out. i'm full as as commodity if they had left 3 and then you ask them to fly him to me

to montes. then he took a solid yeah. line and, and flow to a single pole in the rent a single pole. you sent the letter on the do mission. he had not sent it properly, so we had to tell him, send it back over to the board checks and he thought they need the vehicle saying the moisture let him back in without holding them accountable. the game would come in, there was no charge against him. oh good, i'm the dictator. i mean, you said to the military, do whatever you need to do to crack down and protest is what you don't do. anything to the roger puddled convenience on a number of like said as it pops to attend abrupt the parliament need 13. the key moments in your political career, april 21st 2019 through one cause here with a series of brutal suicide attacks on easter sunday, killing more than 260 people. in, during over 500, the attackers were affiliated with the militant group national to heat them up, the n t j. u will prime minister at the time indian intelligence and once for lack of a threat, you said you personally never got that information because you

a quote out of the loop. i'm not getting along with the president service center at the time you publicly apologized and acknowledge the quote, collective responsibility of the government. i wonder what about your personal responsibility as prime minister if you're not gonna have you considered a personal apology? do you want to offer one here tonight? i've always heard my apology and finish my b and nothing more the supreme court that's clear to me. but i, i apologize as, as prime minister for these. now, you know, i, i wonder if the one thing i'm up with this one be a man came from the dentist. i the abusing. he abused me. you'll see me. you'll see me. you've seen they may finish the book, das sun, if it will be with us and the present, i need done that safety and i didn't belong a dead man's. and then he belongs to the person who gave you. he said, son, how you want to exit? why do you guys send them out to me so i can be honest with you. okay. at the

moment so, so let's, let's, let's, let's do this. let's, let's, let's do this calmly without getting excited. let me finish writing listed on the slide already about the i, as i've said about the most the most i do about this, i'm pretty much the case on i, i can also do something on the price when i, when the reject, surrounded by 700 people died, it's all that funny. so let's, let's get serious question. the presidential commission of inquiry looked into the east to sunday attacks. they wrote a report that says quote, the government including president service center. i'm probably minutes to make sure i'm missing is accountable for the tragedy of the states. failure to prevent the attacks as quote, the greatest dereliction of duty in the annals of public administration and law enforcement in this country. so i ask again, you do take any personal responsibility for quote, the greatest dereliction of i intended to ensure long conduct. i cannot do. they do not the great of netflix without the need extra. that's what the reply says. i'm holding. i am not right about the report as i've been going to say those responses as a presidential commission guy. so let me say what they're telling me that you want

to respond to. but, but i put national reconciliation before national security that i had been soft on the most seems you feel the thing that's the ground on which i shall be address from you, sir. if you want. i know some folks are going to start. why do i, i so i'm quoting the rest of the report, the only 142 sentences i could quote you many, most of this was incumbent on the prime minister to raised in parliament, to cabinet that the state is quite been restored. you are having a fight with the president and the people the that is a can you having the with law say, no. he said that i am being favorable to most names and i didn't know most of them . i used to go to the, you know, pretty much the government, including president sarasota and the prime minister is accountable for the tragedy . that's not much, much of summing all the people dying on your, on that basis there until supreme court. and the supreme court. the picture done through lab does not diminish this at all the same supreme court you dismissed about 20 minutes ago. you said you violated the constitution. now you're like, no, no, no, you have presented the bad thing on the book. and then i called the pre registered

to raise the shooting show. and the other thing to do the deal, right? that that when the snow hiding in what they have said, okay, the president made a dime in 2023 investigation by channel 4 here in the u. k. and whistle blow a testament linking the east of almost the former officials, loyal to go to by roger pox. they were allegedly colluding as part of a plot. so roger pox at the, when the president selection on the back of the muslim feelings, which he did 7 months later in 2019 new own to the investigation that rejected the allegations from channel for once again coming to the defense of the roger boxes. but listen to the head of the catholic church in so long cause that he said, quote, it is clear that is a mistake stream is carried out the attack. but there were other forces behind them . we have to conclude that the run, the crew, missing of government is trying to protect the when the filing minds wanted to come in to be pointing to a point on yesterday's. e. moran mostly mist. uh,

how distressed eliza presidents columns, they look at the leap and the go, i'm a come on the, i'm least, they really mean it's a 40 report. and they said that uh, that the says not be improved. and it does the pool that the appreciated concerned was not in the suite alongside the time he was abroad. now at 5 am, nobody have any feeling the kind of thing. now let me, let me finish up. i am dealing report this call that uh, catholic bishops confidence. all these have been given to them. they have not come in any other coming by rolling it. i, i'll click try. i failed and all you see is the body unless it's in regard to the sink. why do you not do anything? yes, the head of the conference of bishops, bishop harold anthony perez. yes. so he says he wants to independently. yeah, sorry. and the supports condo, malcolm run to the head of the church. yes. who says that you did not take request seriously for an independent investigation and what your commission, he says quote, he told i'll just era, it's not was even the papers written on the commission as you did this is the
