there's another expression they used to they in angola and mozambique.they used to say -- [speaking foreign language -- -- the struggle continues to pursue victory is certain. they don't say it that way anymore. victory is a continuous process as hard as hell. i am delighted over here. [applause] >> yes, mr hampton? [applause] >> beautiful crowd. thank you a lot. i have got something to tell you. i want you to know i am fred's mother. there are going to name a street after the child that got killed, i want to see them and i want to talk to them tonight. i want to let you know that i don't approve of it. i would never approve of it. who would want to walk down the street and see the street that he was killed on? you don't have anything from me. i want to let you know i do not approve of it. i will never approve of it. i don't care who they are. i thank you a lot.

somebody who represented the governments of mozambique, mungle and south africa in the apartheid eraemains one of the amazing people speaking for internationalism and the relationship between the struggles there in the struggles here. so each of the u.s. you can see is capable of eliminating the complex three-hour lecture on multiple issues raised by jeff's book and the life and death of fred hampton and the story of his family. assuming our audience is with us for only a short period, i am going to try to engage this brian penaluna conversation. this will require keeping in moving so i'm apologizing in advance for my plan to interrupt all of you. at the end of this thomasian willis, a civil-rights lawyer that many of you know and i will take questions from the audience and then we will adjourn for organization. jeff's book is a memory project of remembrance of violence against african-americans, of pain and resistance and of shocking is familiar brutality. and the different calculations. so we are today recovering and exercising the collective powers of memory. i'm going to go this

the ak-47 was so instrumental in mozambique that it is on their national flag. it's become a weapon of choice for terrorists, drug dealers and gangsters. some say these weapons are responsible for the deaths of one quarter of a million people every year. there are reportedly anywhere from 70 to 100 million ak-47 and variations of it floating around. so why is the company that makes these going broke? it's a story of globalization and technological change. massive demand for a product now invites cheaper imitations and counterfeits, many almost as good as the original but at a fraction of the price. back in the soviet era the soviets didn't just arm their allies, they freely sent out instructions on how to manufacture them. they needed to learn something about intellectual property. the original company and its original factory have lost most of their business. in recent years russia has accounted for 10% of total production according to the company. indeed the factory flow has been quiet for most of 2009. fortunately for his own wallet, they have branched out an

and part of the thinking when the prime minister came back from from summer break and we went to mozambique and then decided to have a press conference that is where he said we were going to bring forth the process on the dossier and part of that was trying to call the situation. he made the point in the september 3rd press conference. again no decisions are being taken. conflict is not inevitable. people are getting ahead of themselves. but what he did want to do was to set out for the public in an accessible way as possible the reasons he had become more concerned. >> so, there's very much then dependent on the newness of the information, the relatively -- >> partly. >> again just another context with the meeting that you then had a few days later and can't david if you've already been discussing where the question of presentation became a big issue between, and you discussed it with barkley your opposite number in the white house as well. so, was there -- was there a sense of needing to influence each other's the american debate as well as the british debate? >> i think as i said earlier

not just at the press conference but in the -- in the days prior to that with mozambique and south africa. it's fair to say that our media traveling with us was pretty close to a state of frenzy of iraq in a sense that it was taken and only happen only in a matter of time and that kind of thing. so i think the tone of the sedgefield comments was to do two things, one, just to calm things instead of y'all getting ahead of yourselves and no decisions have been taken. there will be all sorts of questions that have to be answered. and he listed some of those questions at the press conference. and then announced as part of this ongoing debate and deliberation we'd publish the dossier. >> as we heard this morning, the 45-minute claim in the dossier, he hit up a new frenzy. and very big headline stories. and as you said, on the butler committee established that this was not as a result of briefing by you but nevertheless a frenzy happened -- >> a frenzy then at the time of the publication. >> well, i think sir lawrence freedman talked about huge headlines right across the front page of the eveni
