rwanda has a high percentage of fertile volcanic soil.t means even the high mountain slopes can be used for arable farming. the problem is heavy rain washes the soil down into the valley. the solution is to build terraces into the slopes, following the example of the incas in south america. >> [speaking foreign language] before we knew about building terraces, the soil on the slopes just used to get washed into the valley. there was no point using manure or fertilizer. but now, whatever we use stays where it's meant to be. so the crops on the terraces are growing faster, and we have better harvests. >> now all the mountain villages here have built terraces. it's a time-consuming process. the steps in the slope need to be at least 5 meters deep. once complete, the ground then needs to rest for 3 months. sometimes there are unexpected obstacles. farmers have stumbled across unmarked graves left from the genocide in 1994, which killed around a millionon people. >> [speaking foreign language] we found bodies under this field of people killed

lucy there in rwanda on what must have been an incredible trip.l show decided i had a different kind of experience in store — a boat trip up the coast of greece. sounds dreamy and relaxing. but as i discovered, not so much. i have come a short distance outside of the athens city centre to what has become known as the athens riviera. there are plenty of cool cafes, ritzy new hotels and, of course, plenty of luxury yachts. moored close to the modern yachts, a different kind of ship is ready to go out to sea. the trireme 0lympias — the only life—size replica in the world of the athenian battleships which dominated the naval wars from the fifth century bc until early christian times. this amazing looking galley belongs to the greek navy, and every year, groups of very lucky people get to go aboard and actually row just like ancient athenians did. this year, i'm one of those lucky people, so i'd better get ready. i think it's going to be quite hard work. well, my fellow rowers are starting to arrive now, so i've picked a plum spot right in the middle o

rwanda came after the start of the genocide was seven days after the last american servicemembers were required to leave somalia. the last thing on anybody's mind in washington was that the united states would run back to a country they thought even less of at the time. what i learned from rwanda which was horrific genocide that i saw firsthand a few months later through the national security advisor at the time to see that they were filled with dead bodies but what i learned from that tragedy is what happens if you don't make timely decisions whether or not to intervene i'm not sure that could have been positive going door to door and we just learned in somalia the best forces could be challenged those writing on top of vehicles with machine guns. but in the case several wanda there was never a question called. there was never a decision whether or not they should intervene. that was because it was a series of individual decisions we had to get the americans out we had to deal if it is genocide or to shut down hate radio. should the us if they should intervene that was never taken wit

variation between rwanda and c. was the recent killing of one of the leaders of one of the rwandan rebel groups the f.d.a. a law that happened in september 21000 and that that kind of i guess paved the way for this this regional cooperation force but you know you're entirely right in saying that uganda will struggle to kind of sit down at the table the a.d.'s have where historically as we've also spent and a rebel group founded out of uganda another thing to think about is also the fact that she's scared he's not able to step away from the shadow of could be could be still the former president could be he's still kind of in the background leading policy. party his coalition only enjoys a kind of kind of loose grip on power the best and he's unable to kind of show this show this front one of the things he's tried to be successful on is security and cracking down on this insecurity in the eastern provinces and on an international stage kind of outside of the region that's really walked but actually within within his r

region we've seen the 70 use the same type of language in the past in uganda could be recently in rwanda said he certainly wasn't going to run and then they did the exact same thing they had a constitutional referendum and he ran for president again i wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if in the next few months we start to see spontaneous manifestations buntay meus protest of the of the people demanding that encourages you to run again this is something that's been done in the past we've seen it before and i wouldn't be surprised now if failing that there is his wife has been rumored to step up next to him or perhaps the current head of the c.d.f. to do the current head of the party but i do not think for a moment these elections will be free and fair even if you currencies as outside and we see that because of the repression on the few remaining individuals who dare to consider themselves political opponents in the country now and i don't think i don't think we're going to see any real opening of the political space i think this base is going to continue to be completely controlled
