nelson mandela and a bishop desmond tutu, particularly tutu, because he calls in the big guns. on the rare occasion they tried to turn him down, he told me he will personally see to it that i won't get into heaven. [laughter] >> and i think he might have that kind of pull. but even if it weren't for them, i think i would have felt the foul africa, because ireland, maybe? some irish friends there, brent and andrea? maybe -- very good. ireland has a very living memory of family in. and coming out from under colonialization or maybe it's just because after can a is the future and edge is from the future. [laughter] sorry. well, you know, we're all interested in the future and the world we look like for the kids. people say china is the future, but if you ask the chinese, they are all headed to africa. the largest -- of recent times is from china to africa. by 2050 africa's population is going to be twice sides of china. it's going to be big and young. 60% of africa's population is 25 and under. they are the catalyst of change and you can see the impact in many ways. for example, 1

know having access to medical approach and it's really time that everybody stood up and said what desmond tutu said that this is where i stand i pads had south africa and the state's medical labs because if the governments are going to typically buy the party line in this disease of supporting israel no matter what despite the horrific carnage on seeing around me everywhere if you would dare come and look at the hospital and meet the families that are now reaping every morning for that massive life you would see yourself that this is despicable they the presentation of events and you can see the numbers and the value of palestinian life in the west is presented as less than israeli life because the casualties are so much more on the palestinian side and the collective punishment which is against the geneva conventions article thirty three of the entire population most of whom the children it's an absolute obscene disgraceful a time on a on a civilian population and there are so many people who are losing their lives and the heartache and the true scenes of tragedy should send messages to the r

desmond tutu. >> rose: right. >> you see, of course we are not going to have south africa there. you don't have mandela, you don't have declercq. but i think there is a lot of lessons there where you know mandela, his people almost denounced him when he started negotiating with the whites. some, some of them told me you know, it's been 27 years in jail, you know, he has gone soft. or has sold out. that is how they looked at him for a little while. and some of them were really on the verge of saying, you know, we don't want to have anything to do with him. but you see what he has done. reconciliation, south africa for all south africans. i am very, very sorry that he didn't stay a second term. but he decided to leave after one term. >> rose: mandela. >> yeah. >> rose: let me go to assad. so when you talk to him what does he say? >>. >> i think he sells me you're right. >> rose: tells you are you right. >> yes. >> rose: he tells you we have to work this out. >> yeah, we have to work this out. you know, he doesn't-- what i am telling him, you know, speaking about our region in gener
