prisoner transfer application of always felt it was right and appropriate and even the rights of nelson mandela had argued that mcgrath he should be closer to home. but i refused and i did so because it became quite clear that the british and americans had done a deal with the libyans at the time of the agreement that mcgrath he and his day in court used would come back to face trial but if they were convicted the trial would be the sentence would be c.f. in the scottish prison i got that not from the british government to run for cover but i got it from eric holder who that stage was a u.s. attorney general he had also been the assistant u.s. attorney general at the time of these negotiations. and he made it quite clear that when they were negotiating the un was brokering these discussions between britain and america they had said if there's a conviction he says the sentence or not basis i felt trumped what i would normally have done which would have returned them to libya to say every sentence in the libyan jail that then drew me on to dealing with the question of compassionate release and an

one of the most wonderful political memories was the victory of nelson mandela and his fight against apartheid chased. from algiers to rip out from rwanda to conakry. that was the history of our generation also i refuse to always go back on the same representation of the past there have been some fights they have been crimes and the stakes they've been great things and happy happy stories but i have a deep conviction our responsibility is not to our responsibility is not to remain blocked fixed in the parts but to live a full adventure up this generation and i'm an opportune ration of french people that the crimes of european colonization are under severe trickle and part of our history i remember. the denounce the thousands of people in the railway works in the congo and these voices were a minority in france and in europe i'm also the generation that has been impressed by the terminations of the youth i've paid to defend on two occasions and sometimes at the cost of their lives the acquisitions optimal crissy and the state of law. i'm of a generation where one does not come to say

continent i am from a generation for whom one of the great political memories was the victory of nelson mandela this is the history of our generation was. promised a new french african relationship based on equality rather than past time he talked about youth security and jobs and said he'd do more to rescue migrants trapped in libya but it was not scripted question and answer session which captured people's attention i. would say. he touched on many subjects close to us and became a fast so he said africans must find they are the solutions and put themselves first. to do it it doesn't just mean it is certainly very persuasive but i don't really believe politicians let's give him the benefit of the doubt and see action there's no doubt that in all my. students i have seen the first instance that he did. right first the. demonstrators and police clashed in the city center others chanted for macro to go home activists say many people are fed up with a succession of french leaders who come to africa only to serve their own interests . we want. to govern how we want withdraw its troops we don't nee

i saw where nelson mandela slept for 27 years.hen i got back to the states, i pulled up in my garage -- i said, you know what? you owe. i owe to give back. we all owe. nexte to give back to the generation. we have made a mess of the world. now, they have got to clean it so i wanted to give them my story. to stay yes, you can come through the fire. it is hard work and determination. adrianna: there are a lot of things revealed in this book that maybe people did not know about you. one of the main things as mental illness. this is something that, in the black community -- we do not talk about this. >> i am really happy that black churches are starting to have counseling for their members. that is a positive thing, moving fort about mental illness, because so many people are coming out. manywent on oprah winfrey years ago and told the world, yes, i suffered with this 33.rder until i was and, with aids epidemic and my father died of a massive heart attack, the grief was too much. they were dropping like flies, from aids, in the 1980's

but i think that nelson mandela said something to him and i think later wrote about this they became great friends but the president tried to understand how he couldn't have been filled with hate after he spent 27 years in a prison. and he said if i hated them they would still control me. the only way to be free is to let that go. i think the president was not happy every day he could get pretty vociferous about how he was being put upon and attacked but i think that he always just tried to get stuff done and as we were talking about this panel, i remember at the last meeting we had with the republican leadership in 1998 and report up the hill campaigns were being waged and we picked it up in 1998, which was the first time that happened and involved teaching the practice for senate happened in 1822 in the party collapsed. [laughter] the republican reaction to that was to talk to him but they proceeded under and we've got ourselves a new speaker eventually. just finish with this story one of the things the president wanted to do, people were doing really well. the poor people were fin

i'm standing right now, isha, on a street called nelson mandela avenue.eters to my left is the parliament of zimbabwe. so tomorrow that will be full of the opposition of anointing emmerson mnangagwa as the take overpresident. and of course as you're well awa aware, in 2018, i think it's march, i'm not sure of that month, but 2018 zimbabwe is due uto go or the a general election to select their leader that would have meant zimbabwe would have gone for it. now m >> i think the constitution says the elections at the very latest must be held by july or august be. between now and then, will there be some kind of transition government, some transitional government that involves the opposition? >> good point, isha. i am of the opinion, it's only my humble opinion, that it's right for the opposition to make all these kind of noises and suggest a transition government. it's what everybody wants. but who is in power? who is the man taking over? who did they do this coup for? whether or not there will be a transitional government is open for debate. i very much doub

leader, they do take quite a lot of inspiration from mugabe, especially when they compare him with nelson mandelaeform, but perhaps robert mugabe was brave enough to do so. thank you for the moment. you will be back with us in our late edition. next, we will talk about this man. back in 2008, the opposition leader morgan tsvangirai won more votes than robert mugabe in the first round of the presidential election. in fact his party claimed he'd got the 50% of votes that would have secured victory. but the result was disputed — a second round was called — and mr tsvangirai pulled out after violence against his supporters. mr tsvangirai has continued as a vocal critic of robert mugabe. here he is talking to emily maitlis for the bbc‘s newsnight. i'm hoping that the next leadership, even during the transition, must set in a new trajectory where people are respected and that the rule of law is restored. have you spoken yet to the vice president, emmerson mnangagwa? will you endorse him now as president?” have not spoken to him yet. my hope is that if we are to correct the past, the principles, myself

continent i am from a generation for whom one of the great political memories was the victory of nelson mandela this is the history of our generation while the naacp was in yours. michael promised a new french african relationship based on equality rather than pass time he talked about youth security and jobs and said he'd do more to rescue migrants trapped in libya but it was not scripted question and answer session which captured people's attention i. would say. he touched on many subjects close to us and became a fast so he said africans must find they are in solutions and put themselves first . sitting in the cities certainly very persuasive but i don't really believe politicians let's give him the benefit of the doubt and see action listening to. the first students was the first to insist that the if to. fight the system. was just like i said the french the. demonstrators and police clashed in the city center others chanted for macro to go home activists say many people are fed up with a succession of french leaders who come to africa only to serve their own interests . we want. to govern

and, still the most prominent face of the new south africa, a huge statue of nelson mandela stands innt of the official seat of the national government. the statue that previously stood here, of an afrikaner nationalist leader, was moved to a far corner of the gardens. in "church square" in the center of the city, another contentious site is getting a makeover: the monument to 19th century afrikaner leader paul kruger is now surrounded by fencing after being vandalized several times. mayor solly msimanga plans to keep the statue, but transform the whole square into a new kind of monument that's dedicated to free speech. >> we are advocating that you tell a complete history, not only one side of our history. >> reporter: so you are against taking down the old statues? >> i am against taking down any kind of statue. i'm all for having all statues and using them to tell a part of history. i am not here because a certain part of history did not exist. i'm here because that history happened. i am sitting in this chair right now because a certain history happened and i am acknowledging that

and also the grandson of the foremost african president nelson mandela recently met with palestinian leaders as well and arlen's left wing republican politician saying met with palestinian delegation from the west bank and gaza the day they will also be holding a vigil later on in the evening. now the wild leaders from russia to bangladesh also issued their official statements and some posted online as well his turkey's foreign minister he says that we are reiterate of support for the independent and sovereign state of palestine within nineteen sixty seven borders with jerusalem as its capital and the indian embassy in palestine released this statement where it says india hopes for dialogue between palestinian and israeli sides and move towards finding a comprehensive negotiated solution so how important is the palestinian solidarity day for you send us your thoughts use the hashtag a.j. news grades or less to me directly i'm at rayna mohammad daryn. international award winning series enough to bow or the catastrophe about the history of the palestinian exodus that led to the first w

i mean i remember vividly at the time, nelson mandela had spent 27 years in captivity and he chose when america and it was the year of kind of britpop and genres of music such as reggae and hip—hop we re music such as reggae and hip—hop were not being celebrated on a mainstream stage and it's something i wanted to do something about because i was surrounded by exceptional talent who were frustrated. they felt their art form and the music they were making was not being recognised or champ beyond. stormzy i have mentioned. what are you particularly excited about seeing from the awards tomorrow night? what is really wonderful to see is a diverse range of music artists, not only performing on the stage, but being nominated. you stormzy mentioned. he had a brilliant year. we are proud of his success. he picked up a mob0 award for best grime in 2014 and his career has gone from strength to strength to strength. he had one of the fastest selling grime albums out there and a huge amount of buzz around him. i was reading an article about you and there is a wonderful quote that you are a power br
