nelson mandela for over two decades, robert mugabeor f nearly a decade and a half. both were theymbols of liberation for their countries -- nelson mandela for south africa, robert mugabe for zimbabwe. but the two men were very, very different. their prison experiences turns them into differenten nelson mandela came out of prison looking to bind south africa together, looking for not for revenge, but for the development of an inclusive, multiracial society. robert mugabe came out of prison vindictive,ngry, and rentful, resentful of british colonialism, resentful of white zimbabwean farmers and the provision they had -- privilege they had, resentful of the ill treatment he received. that resentment is reflected in the harsh nature of his politics, which became increasingly morepparent the longer he remained in power. nada: thank you very much. johnnie: thank you. nada: time for a quick look at some other news around the world. india has lost contact with its lunar mission just as he was about to land on the moon. prime minister narendra modi was watching in mission co

he was once described as being like nelson mandela, but he was ousted in disgrace.egacy? >> i can confirm that robert mugabe has died. he's seen as a founding father of the democratic zimbabwe but there's no debate zimbabwe went from being a thriving nation. he's held in high esteem by the freedom fighters, but he is the man who denied them democracy, denied them opportunities and led to so many zim bab juans fleeing and going to other african countries in search of a bett life. >> the reforms people wanted to see have not been realized. what will this signify for the people there who are trying to move on in life? >> i think generally zimbabwans, it will take decades of reform. the civil liberty that zimbabwe yans have been fighting for are not realized. they have brought in younger ministers in the form of finance minister who's educated, head of business school here so he's seen a reformist. but zimbabwe doesn't have the tools and assets needed to rebuild the country. it will take a long time. so, it has opened up the media space. marginally he's appointed younge

older generations remembering him as part of the liberation movement, likening him to nelson mandela, considering him a hero or an icon. yet, younger generations remember him clinging to power, cracking down on descent. overall, how will he be remembered in that nation? >> george, i don't think it's a generational divide. it's a divide between those are often, maybe at the time supported mugabe and the survivors, victims, who made it through some of his bloody campaigns. they certainly do not have good memories. and like to recall in the 1970s, george, the country known as rhodesia was protected by africa and now is one of the poorest countries in the world. and millions are driven into exile. these are the people who are now celebrating and are happy with his passing. those might perhaps have a better memory of him. >> as far as the transition of power in 2017, i was speaking to one of our correspondents who covered this. he recalls people in the streets, people hopeful about change under the new government and president. what has that change been for people? have they realized those

people did speak out and i remember the archbishop desmond tutu and nelson mandela said there was a lack re many leadership in zimbabwe and there were many critics but they were doing it in a very subtle way. when the west was coming out openly and ina more the west was coming out openly and in a more defiant way criticising robert mugabe, there was a time in a co nfe re nce robert mugabe, there was a time in a conference in 2002, when he told the former prime minister, tony blair, keep your england and let me keep my zimbabwe. that gave him a lot of pan— african people, that he was a man fighting for africa's liberation and that is how mugabe is remembered and that is how mugabe is remembered and how he was treated by the leaders that today the official statements claimed that a great man has died and a great leader has died and that is how he is remembered officially. the time is 8:16pm. the headlines on bbc news... opposition leaders in parliament agree to stop borisjohnson having a snap election until brexit is until brexit is delayed beyond the end of october. robert mugabe the man

thinking about his calls for the liberation struggle, i'm thinking nelson mandela, how did they regardu spoke out and nelson mandela said there was a lack of leadership. there were many critics but they were doing it have every su btle critics but they were doing it have every subtle way, when the west was coming out openly and in a more sort of defiant way, criticising robert mugabe. there was a time when robert mugabe. there was a time when robert mugabe here in a conference in johannesburg in 2000 and toon, he told the former prime minister, when he said tony blair, keep your england, and let me keep my zimbabwe. that gave a lot of pan— african s, people who had been tired of colonial war —— rule, here is a man who is fighting for africa's liberation. that is how robert mugabe is remembered and that is how he was treated by the leaders. but today the official statements even from the president, a great leader has died, that is how he remembered officially. ok, we will see more of those when that funeral takes place, but for now, thank you very much. the prime minister of the bahamas

it is fascinating that both timothy mcveigh and nelson mandela use the same poem as their motto. that bruce springsteen is another example that makes common cause with those rather than turning them into the enem enemy. >> that you're hating the wrong people instead of the corporate powers overseas and to forget about you you hate the people below you. you hate black people. >> and yes i have great respect for that argument as well because i feel there is a distraction going on and it's a very seductive distraction. >> one of the most original chapters is the rampage shooter and you we conceive who that is so talk about that. >> the school shooter. >> i was talking about the guys who go postal. >> not those like columbine. >> i'm flattered you think i have a new take on it. but i will tell you what i think is new is the sociology. all of the work on the school shooters all the research has been done the ways that we have approached them was a focus on the psychology of the shooter so for example working on columbine that basically is looking at a painting up close over to guns an

, and nelson mandela said something to the effect of " everything is impossible until it is done."verything is impossible until it is done. what does that mean? it means that the ideas we talk about today, people say, "they are radical, you cannot do it, it is extreme, no one in america em," until they get done. and then they say, "of course, we can do it. what is the problem?" and i give you a few examples that we are seeing with our own eyes. to newars ago, i came hampshire, and i said, "i have got a radical, crazy, wild idea that maybe if you work 40 hours per week in vermont and new hampshire, maybe you should not be living in poverty, and we should raise the minimum wage to a living range of $15 an hour."

it's a quote from nelson mandela, and nelson mandela said something to the effect, he said, "everything is impossible until it is done." everything is impossible until it is done. what does that mean? it means that the ideas that we talk about today, people say, "these are radical, you cannot do it, they're extreme, nobody in america wants them," until they get done. and then they say, "well, it is common sense. of course we should have done that. what was the problem?" [applause] sen. sanders: and i give you a few examples of what that means and we are seeing it with our own eyes. four years ago, i came to new hampshire, and i said, "i got a radical, crazy, wild idea, by god, that maybe if you work 40 hours a week in vermont and new hampshire, maybe you should not be living in poverty, and we should raise the minimum wage to a living wage of $15 an hour."

president had been a two—term president he would have gone down in history along with the likes of nelson mandelaets that still bear his name, many zimbabweans are inclined to be more generous. he was my first president. so, to me, he deserves a great honour. it is sad news. we have lost a good father. mugabe was all right. when emmerson mnangagwa took over in 2017, the country seemed euphoric. but, less than two years on, hopes have once more been dashed. it is a measure, perhaps, of zimba bwe's desperate position that robert mugabe is once again seen by many as a hero. our world affairs editor john simpson is here. so, john — mugabe — how will history remember him: a liberator or a dictator? imean, he i mean, he was the liberator of it and he was the man that brought about the dictatorship. i think in zimbabwe in years to come the standard view will be that he was an appalling dictator that visited huge amounts of suffering on the country. i went after 1983 when his forces linked to the north korean army using trainers from north korea went in to using trainers from north korea went intoa using
