Justice for decades late they camera bruises Reign Of Terror in cambodia classified as a genocide for the first time by an International Tribunal a guilty verdict for the last surviving leaders of the brutal regime that presided over the deaths of some two million cambodians im sorry kelly in berlin this is the day. The un. Has believed real good judgment today in free schools great zero zero through this
in the story gets you right in the world of the extraordinary chambers you look towards of cambodia once they were all the commercial overthrown i was shocked and horrified by all that was hidden from. The Torture Centers around Killing Fields every aspect of the starvation doing forced labor in the grapes to force a marriage was the thing that the murder its all on the record now that cambodians no longer have to worry that that what they went through was their imaginations to me that might get people to look at me and im so happy im a victim of the can i really wish i used to think there was no justice for me but now i see that justice will get close enough to believe but the main. And also coming up on the program in californias Wildfires Hundreds are unaccounted for at least sixty are dead and thats just the human toll of the place. I hope you and quick thats all i can say. But first it took nearly four decades but on friday for the first time a un back to court in the Cambodian Capital Phnom Penh found to kemah rouge leaders guilty of genocide the brutal regime wiped out around two Million People a quarter of the countrys population through Overwork Starvation and mass executions a murderous history and for decades on is the verdict finally justice our coverage begins with this report. This is a long awaited moments to form a Committee Rouge Leaders in one chair and kiff samphan are sentenced to Life In Prison For Genocide by a un backed court. Home. But the chamber has considered the gravity of the crimes including the scale of brutality the number and the
vulnerability of the victims for which the accused have been convicted. These two old men the last surviving leaders of the Committee Rouge already serving Life Sentences for crimes against humanity but this new verdict is a Landmark Ruling for the first time it says that the crimes against Cambodians Vietnamese and cham minorities amounted to Genocide Delivery of the judgment today in face to zero zero two is an historic achievement in the work of the extraordinary chambers in the courts of. This court is once again demonstrated that he has the capacity to prosecute and try the most complex cases in accordance with international standards. The Committee Rouge under its leader pol pot sought to create a Communist Utopia but forcibly moving people from the cities to the countryside nearly two million cambodians died from Overwork Starvationa mass executions during its Reign Of Terror from One Hundred Seventy Five to Nine Hundred Seventy nine plum pens museums and memorials detail the sheer horror of the past a past that lingers. Well they deserve to get the sentence because they committed such big crimes the rest of my Family Members were killed im the only child who survived that regime. This is an important moment for cambodia its courts recognizing that what happened here was indeed genocide. And d. W. Spoke earlier with Award Winning journalist Elizabeth Becker who was a reporter in cambodia during the camera this Reign Of Terror her book when the war was over is one of the leading accounts of what was one of the last centurys worst crimes against humanity. She was also called on as an Expert Witness for the prosecution at the camera trial we asked her how important the trial was oh
its critical i can imagine cambodian history or this is siding without this trial and without the final verdict that said yes this was genocide as you noted it would spend forty years it took decades to finally get this trial because it could have impinged on so many world powers so that cambodians no longer have to worry that that what they went through was their imagination there were many deniers well this is a joint you when cambodian trial this is the cambodian government is led by who and said whos a former midlevel cmere was contrary he did not want the trial and it took a lot of political will on the part of the u. N. To come up with a compromise then you it was in the country there are all kinds of different compromises so it was it was a long slog but it was a very thorough one and the critics of the length i think should just read choice
in the fact that now the record is straight there was witnesses corroborating every aspect of the starvation the enforced labor the forced marriages the the the the murder its all on the record now and thats an incredible record. I saw a country that was emptied of society i lived there during the war and was shocked the streets were empty the people were gone there were no markets there was no life there was no pick go to go to us were empty shops were closed schools were closed there was no music there is nothing and then you go into the country to the labor camps and i was under serious government guard so they didnt let me poke around any more than allowed but it was what was missing that was so horrible that people were living in work camps they did not look good and i was shown what was supposed to be a model camps and even though the leaders which was one of the reasons i was asked
to testify even the leaders admitted to me that Social Welfare as they put it wasnt was right but since the trial started you have a new awareness that this is what happened and when you think of. The number of of. Of victims and the destruction of the society its remarkable however its not a democracy its an authoritarian regime that recently has gotten rid of the opposition and there is nothing resembling a real rule of law so its incredible its an uneven. Recovery and i hope that it gets a little better and that was the journalist Elizabeth Becker now the verdict from the un Backed War Tribunal comes almost forty years as weve heard After The Fall of the camera brutal around two million cambodians died from Overwork Starvation mass executions under the groups Reign Of Terror during the late one nine hundred

BritishPrime Minister to resign may has appointed a new brags that secretary following the resignation of dominic rab on thursday he Steven Barclay a former Junior Health minister who voted to leave the European Union in a referendum in twenty sixteen and earlier may received a boost when another leading brags it supporter said that he would stay in her government. A moment of relief for the Prime Minister a key programs a voice and teresa mayes top Ministerial Team environment secretary michael gove has confirmed he is backing may. Well if you have confidence in the Prime Minister i absolutely do have had a very good morning with a series of meetings with my colleagues here in defra im also looking forward to continuing to work with all my government colleagues and all my colleagues in poland in order to make sure that we get the best future for person this comes after a tumultuous day for me as she presented her draft deal to exit the European Union. On thursday several Cabinet Members resigned including brags that secretary dominic rob and brags that hard liners led by m. P. s Jacob Reese Mog and steve baker say they will collect the forty eight signatures necessary to trigger a vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister or the future of this country for generations generations hinges upon rejecting this policy and its become clear to me jacob that the only way now to reject this policy is to also Prime Minister to go until the new Prime Minister is going to government is struggling to secure a deal with the e. U. Before braggs that is triggered at the end of march next year meanwhile the u. K. Remains divided over whether or not it should even leave the union. And lets get a deeper look into this now we are joined here In The Studio by john worth an e. U. Citizen with a u. K. Passport and also a blogger who writes quite extensively on the e. U. And the u. K. Welcome back to the program good evening we have to talk about what has just been
happening now in the past twenty four hours i mean we essentially have some of her most senior Cabinet Members gone we have this President Secretary that basically no ones ever heard of and she seems to be recycling people amber right also back what does this say about the state of british politics right now essentially to reason mays position becomes more and more perilous with every passing day with every passing week but nevertheless no one does get rid of her and so ultimately. Shes got nowhere else to go other than to try people shes tried before in the case of roads or to take people like paul kelly and so her position how we have no one is quite ready so just to put over the age to get rid of her will to give because none of them want the job because trying to negotiate breaks it is very tall and so therefore thats the thing if you keep then she has to deliver the news to the British Population and then all of the other conservatives along it to take over the moment breaks about she happens nobody wants to hold the hot potato that is you
know you know the big question now is really will she survive as Prime Minister and will her greggs it plan get through and id just like to do a quick reset here remind our viewers actually how all of this came about and then get your reaction there after so lets have a listen. As we leave the European Union we will forge a forge a bold new positive role for ourselves in the world brics it means brets it brics it means brics it and were going to make a success of it im very clear brett it does mean that its the issue thats defined her premier ship from day one through the Snap General Election she called last year a loss to majority it was after a crunch july summit as her country a state that theresa me began losing ministers over her brakes plan secretary david davis was first soko followed by foreign secretary Boris Johnson four months on it all comes to a head again in her cabinet. After hours of closed door talks. With
a collective decision of cabinet was that the government should agree the draft Withdrawal Agreement and the outline political declaration. Was. The morning after her second breaks that secretary dominic robb resigned saying he could not support the deal because despite this the Prime Minister has a marriage more determined than ever you want the microphone this is a deal which does deliver that which is in the National Interest and im i going to see this through yes but others remain unconvinced surely now even you have to admit this is not strong and stable you know m. P. s have been debating the best way to deliver bracks it ever since the referendum took place in Two Thousand And Sixteen
