come straight. to that story see you before during the morning delusion the marsh will enjoy. coming. to the floor and resting place. documentary. africa coming up on the program a defeat for africa's most wanted fugitive the alleged financing the one genocide will face trial in tanzania after a french court rejected his appeal to be tried in france instead i'll be joined by the chief prosecutor. and. he came out to kid dearie the 26 year old is breaking barriers in farming in northern gonna where women don't feature much on the agricultural scene.
11:31 pm
it's good to have your company a french appeals court has ruled that the man accused of funding the one genocide can be handed over to the united nations tribunals in tanzania. had wanted him to be tried in france where he was arrested efface is charges of genocide and crimes against humanity relating to the horrors in wonder during which 800000 people were killed in 1904. the businessman made much of his wealth from t. farming. strong links to the former rwandan president. and the then ruling m r m d party dominated by the hutu ethnic group. accused of setting up and providing funds for the hutu militia that carried out massacres against rival

tutsi people and moderate hutus he also founded a notorious radio station that played a key role in inciting the genocide. i wanted man evaded arrest for years in africa and europe despite reports of him being cited in different countries. after he was eventually arrested in paris in may he appeared before france's supreme court his lawyers said he was in poor health and did no condition to be tried elsewhere. and i am now joined by brummet c. is the chief prosecutor for the international residual mechanism for criminal tribunals that is the international tribunal handling the london genocide trials welcome to date of the news africa mr brown it's. one to be tried in france your preference was that he be tried at the un's tribunals intends anea what is the
11:33 pm
significance of where the trial takes place. if that is not the question of preference it's a question about jurisdiction. one of. those few years ago the residual competences were given to the mechanism especially in relation to that if we we mean me species and couple that is one of those 3 so based on the statute of the mic and exam which is being put in place by the security council to the mic and using as he told me competent jurisdiction to deal with a computer is ok so you say it is a competent jurisdiction but mistook a bill that has saved through his annoyance that a u.n. court in africa would be biased against him is it your view that he is guaranteed a fair trial at the un tribunals in africa. there's absolutely no doubt that.
11:34 pm
d.c. you know the one that i viewed and from you can easily result in reading from what into the years you have been dozens and dozens of cases our judges are international judges coming from different parts of the world same for the investigators and prosecutors it is united nations tribunal with all the independence and the partiality necessary to make sure that it will be a fair trial. mr thomas this is a very important case for the people of florida and if memory says maker ex-president polk i mean the has that at some point hinted that justice would be better served if mr will would be tried in one death in the event that could god the requests to have missed a couple get tried in one day and i understand that that is a decision that the u.n. security council would have to make but do you have any reservations about that for mr to be tried in rwanda. no personally i have absolutely no as
11:35 pm
a vision in this regard you know you in general terms as an international prosecutor i'm always in favor of having trials taking place in the county where crimes have been committed where the victim's communities are living but also one of the perpetrator communities living so where it is possible i've always been been supportive to trying to take in place at the national level now today this question of course is not on the agenda if i may say because it has been a fish it is justice for the you want to have you enough of the mechanism we have the legal authority to have this trial taking place at the mechanism and we are absolutely ready to move these trials forward of course if there would be a decision by the security council writing to changed the main date as prosecutor whether we are updating our case file and we follow wards is decided what is new is
11:36 pm
that trial is taking place what is important is that victims and survivors will be heard and for me personally this is the main issue not if the trial is taking place in you know i was going to go. ok and are you confident that you are going to secure a guilty verdict recently you were on a fact finding mission and rwanda what can you tell us about that. well it will be up to the judges to decide at the end of the trial about guilt or innocence as prosecutors of course you know this investigation started in the ninety's of the arrest throwing some $97.00 of course my baby sister said already collected evidence even though it's no international arrest warrant or indictment would be a big issue for all concerned now obviously the case. has no been act if
11:37 pm
i may say for so many years so as of the normal dead as a prosecutor we are updating the existing it case file but we are also looking for additional evidence to strengthen the case. i was myself in kigali only 3 weeks ago for 2 weeks i have in fact a permanent team there which would be there for a number of months it's not just a fact finding it is really a minimum for the next 6 months if not the work that i would have several prosecutors see this to gator's analysts. contacting witnesses which have testified in the past updating information looking for additional evidence but it's the normal way to proceed if and arrest is taking place many many years after the indictment of the issues rights the rest takes place many as off of the indictment it should what kind of fit time span are we
11:38 pm
looking at for the actual trial very briefly if you can. well it's. it's up to the judges once to try to chambers be. put together you know what i can tell you based on previous cases we've. received in place of the one to be released after you look . up one year between the train for the. individual to make it easy and just honestly trying to we would definitely not see a trial you start seeing somebody say all right that search remix thank you for. your story. it's take a look at some of the stories making news across the continent now south africa's state owned inline as suspended its operations as it struggles to raise a bailout of almost $600000000.00 the airline has long faced financial difficulties

opinion the issue of global warming is one of the most important issues of environmental policy that we have to address as. we were already warning against climate change back then that's true my feeling is that people didn't take it very seriously and there were the same arguments as there are today how do we know the rising c o 2 levels is manmade the climate has always changed with ice ages and warm periods . so there was more the feeling that it was something abstract and not a clearly tangible threat. at all was a more tangible threat was nuclear waste. 10 years after the reactor. meltdown in chernobyl nuclear catastrophe remained a nightmare scenario in people's minds. big guns at home i perceived nuclear power and nuclear waste and also the nuclear weapons that were still installed everywhere
11:51 pm
as a very definite threat and a very acute one. that was one of the things that drove me to protest. the protests against nuclear waste transports made history in 1906 they were accompanied by almost 20000 police officers at that time the largest policing operation in the federal republic radioactive material was scheduled for transport to an interim storage facility in the town of corley demonstrators staged sitting still stopping putting their bodies on the line for their ideals organizing such protests was more complicated back then than it is now. and can see but it was really quite soon after the berlin wall fell we were organized internationally at a time when the main medium of communication was the fax machine and the internet
