Im sumi so misconducts good to have you with us it is being called cambodia s nuremberg moment and the last few hours to leave leaders of the regime have been found guilty of genocide by a un backed tribunals the court ruled that you sumpin the no one child were responsible for the murder and slate. Torture and persecution of nearly two million
cambodians between One Hundred Seventy Five and one Nine Hundred Seventy nine its considered one of the worst atrocities of the Twentieth Century the verdict is the First Official acknowledgement that what the khmer rouge regime did was genocide as defined under International Law when. It comes lets bring in our Southeast Asia correspondent Boston Hartford joins us on the line from bangkok busto what more can you tell us about these two men. Was a meeting on terror was hope was deputy he was his right hand man. And two of them on the Head Of State so they were both really influential figure in the command rouge regime that ruled cambodia from One Hundred Seventy Nine to ninety eight and then from i think in the time excuse me to Nine Hundred Seventy nine and in which its believed that one point seven Million People were killed now now both of them are already serving Life Sentences for crimes against humanity other crimes against
humanity if they were convicted of a previous trial but both of them have in the course of your trials have the night any responsibility for these crimes to me. Thank you how significant is this verdict for cambodia. Well i think its for one i think very significant for the average of the khmer rouge regime and i think you can see that if you look at the numbers over the course of the trial which tracked on for for a long time a Three Thousand people came to pen to watch it in person from the places around the country because they think it was important for them to see how justice. Is being done at least to some degree because of course its only two Senior Leaders who are standing trial here their war two more were indicted but they they died in the meantime because the trial dragged on for so long but theres also
been a lot of criticism because people are said they have been called for more child more people to be investigated and indicted and also questions why is only coming almost forty years after the end of the khmer rouge regime now are we going to timor to plea not because the Prime Minister of cambodia when ten weve been in power for thirty years he said it would be stabilize the country and he strongly opposes any further trials in the old almost Unlimited Power and cambodia so its very unlikely that were going to see any further trials but at least in this trial it was as you said before its an acknowledgement that the crimes committed under the clear regime were in fact genocide and it might also carry implications for similar trials in other countries and other crimes that were committed in other countries i think for example we are. Bastion hard i think for us thank you very much. British Prime Minister theresa may is a Stepping Up Efforts to defend her controversial breaks that deal today made us of the country will be plunged into a deep and grave on certainty if the draft plan is abandoned but she is facing a backlash from her own party and calls to be replaced so can she survive or get the latest from london and brussels in a moment but first a look at how events unfolded yesterday it was a tumultuous day in the history of bric said but more turmoil is likely to follow on thursday several members of parliament resigned on the hours after Prime Minister theresa may and now instead of her cabinet had agreed to the terms of the deal. The first and biggest blow was dominic robb quitting after only four months as burke said minister but we do need to change and hes not the only one thinking this way resistance is coming from within mays own party reducing the chances of the agreement being voted to parliament its eighty four in all its going up by
the hour will vote against it is therefore mathematically impossible to get this deal through the house of home. And if that Wasnt Enough May might be facing yet another challenge jacob riis smaug a vocal hardline bracks a tear submitted a letter of no confidence against the Prime Minister but what we mean is a leader who will say to the European Union it is impossible to divide up the United Kingdom it is impossible to agree to a situation where we have a perpetual Customs Union this is not wretched this is a failure of Government Policy it needs to be rejected this is nothing to do with this may respond to the chaos with another Press Conference demonstrating determination and dismissing calls to step down if we do not move forward without Agreement Nobody can know for sure the consequences that will follow. It would be to take a path of deep and great uncertainty when the british people just want us to get on
with it this is a deal which does deliver that which is in the National Interest and im i going to see this through yes. From a the clock is ticking next week shell have to face e. U. Leaders and without a problem enter the approval of the brics a deal her days as Prime Minister could be numbered and we are delivering lets bring in our correspondents for more on this Story Barbara Vessel is in london and max huffman is in brussels good morning to you both max lets start with you in brussels the clock is ticking for theresa may what can she expect when she faces e. U. Leaders next week well compared to what shes facing back in london itll be A Walk In The Park no seriously she probably is going to have to face some criticism over the deal as well although you have to sort that out amongst themselves but weve heard in the last days that france for example is not at all happy about fisheries not being included in that deal in germany is worried about a level Playing Field meaning that companies in the u. K. And companies on the continent will face the same conditions if they are in the Customs Union later on but like i said its a different animal than in london its not her personal faith thats on the line here in brussels e. U. Has a squabble among themselves in the goshen among themselves figure this out if they really can back the deal or not in the most likely scenario is that they will back the deal negotiated with three some of his cabinet meanwhile her political fate is on the line in london that brings us to you barbara she a truth that may sound a defiant last night and she has staked her survival political survival on the steel will she be able to see it through. We just heard max saying this is a different animal here in london and i tell you sumi its a ferocious beast because rumor has it that the do you p. T. The Northern Irish union party that is propping up our government is ready to walk and sort of. Go away from her government unless she is replaced and somebody
else steps up as Prime Minister now that was certainly sort of blow up the whole the whole government here and make it impossible for two reasons made to go on and the second bad news is emerging last night as she had a talk with my two god of the Environment Minister one of the leading faces of the Leave Campaign in Two Thousand And Sixteen he does not want to be breaks administer for anyone he doesnt want to own this deal and he might also be ready to walk from one thousand to resign so nothing but bad news this morning all right well we sent our reporter out on to The Streets Of London to hear what people had to say about the turmoil there lets take a look. Chaos anger and confusion not just inside parliament but on The Streets Of London as well for the people here outside westminster the bracks a drama is anything but it done deal and then spray bottle. Until
recently removed. It is now we. Must agree now its time to go back to the country give them a choice do you want this deal that the governments negotiated or do you want to remain within the your opinion. Is just ridiculous as a willing to kill. And you opinion stay definitely say the original vote was made without all the information that people needed really to make the decision peoples votes no. Across the city its all i saw in the case politicians and their heated bricks acho down and its not just remain us who dont like the deal franks of tears on happy to. The politicians find food. And. Some of them in the middle the end of the day the
referendum was a Binary Choice was Winston Churchill said a majority of is enough. I voted to leave im not going to lie but right now i would stay we need to fight the fact that. The difficult Compromises Havent United the two sides of the debate on the country breaks it is in remain assumed to be further apart than ever but on one thing they do agree this is not the deal they want for their country. Our barbara we heard there this is not the deal they want for their country what exactly do people there say is the problem with this agreement. The problem is disagreement is that it pleases absolutely nobody is she has achieved a reason made the impossible the seemingly impossible to come back with a deal that is rejected from all sides opposition and many people in britain say
this is not good enough this is still going to wreak economic damage and plus we dont really know whats in the arrangement for the future all these are empty promises different six years say this is much too close to the European Union its breaks it in name only it doesnt mean that were really leaving and the people in the middle middle are angry and confused about this whole rigmarole this whole chaotic image that the government presents at the moment at the moment iran or just a spy here in the very Early Morning down at the thames and he yelled shes a goner as she is off and that seems to be moot the mood among many many people here in london and in the rest of the country thats to reason may whos trying to battling on to battle on cant really do it right max coming to you with that kind of opposition in london could we see the e. U. Negotiate another agreement that has better chances of being approved by the
parliament the British Parliament there those are two Different Things first one will be renegotiated deal the german chancellor are going to mco made it very clear that he does not see any grounds for that she says we have something that was negotiated that you agreed on and the British Government agreed on so why should we go she added but even if they renegotiated it seems very unlikely that they would be able to offer anything that goes through in the House Of Commons and coming back to all that criticism were seeing of the deal especially in them but also within the European Union i think the german chancellor Angela Merkel said once if i get criticism from all saw its means i did something right because it means i really fell into a compromise right our correspondents max hope in brussels and barbara vessel in london thank you bill.

partys image thats one of the Main Findings of a new survey by the german public broadcaster a r d meanwhile support for the Social Democrats has again dropped to a record low with many voters switching allegiance to the greens lets take a look at the numbers now if elections were held across germany this weekend of the survey shows this is how things would stand chancellor merkels conservative c.

about this one we saw there the greens are just three points behind the conservatives would it be too bold for them to dream of a green german chancellor it would certainly be a bold stream at the moment after all to be able to do that they would have to overtake the Christian Democrats. Party and the rise in recent months has been so steep invented at the moment it seemed pretty unlikely that they are going to overtake the Christian Democrats on the other hand there are people leaving voters leaving the Christian Democrats also changing to the green party the green party is not only profiting from the weakness of the Social Democrats so its a completely impossible but at the moment it seems highly unlikely ok so that looks unlikely to hans now the new figures come into a battle for the c. D. U. Party leadership there are three main candidates in line for the top conservative job whoever wins will have a good chance of be
