Africa. We begin in the newsroom where we are finding following several burger king stores. Google straight to will go straight to claire. Following several breaking stores. It is said that sarin gas was used. Several People Killed in a shooting at the Washington Navy yard. Our correspondent who was at the scene. A massive and complex operation is underway to pull the cause of concordia operates. It has been lifted free of rock but no sign of two bodies officials have not located. First to the you and un. The findings of weapons inspectors was spent a few days in syria last month. The highly anticipated report was headed handed over. They found convincing evidence that sarin gas was used. For more on this, i am joined by our International Affairs editor douglas. Do you think of this report will really make a difference . But probably very little and the reason i say this is because we have been expecting this report and most people generally know what this report is going to say and we know what is not going to say will stop it was meant to the inspectors to determine whether or not chemical weapons were used. Which was were used. What it was not going to say was that were not there to blame. Whether it was rebels or the assad regime. What has been happening in the context around this report is it comes after the deal was struck on saturday to get assad to disarm his chemical arsenal. A lot of diplomacy to craft a tough u. N. Resolution to enforce that the deal. The west would like it to be as tough as possible and include the threat of military force. Chapter seven. Russia has almost said explicitly that military force would be a nonstarter i could write the piece talk. And could wreck the peace talk. If the western powers, i am talking about the u. S. , france and britain are hoping it will bring more pressure on those in the Security Council to craft a very tougher resolution. They will probably be disappointed. Chances are at this point its side knows really werent they have drawn the line. And their socalled redlines with a resolution are. Regardless of what is said, no matter how tough, and in the direction of assad, it will say, to change russias mind and say in that case, well pass a resolution that authorizes military force. Theres a lot of diplomatic new wants. A week ago, this report may have brought more to their. Now that we have is deal between russia and the u. S. Him a lot of other factors entering and behind the scenes diplomacy. My guess would be this report might use harsh language but is not to believe going to budge the lines in the u. N. Security which has been divided up until now. It does not like the issues will go away anytime soon. Thank you very much. As the Security Council is breached, world powers are trying to hammer out a resolution. Foreign ministers have called for a strong web. After talks in paris, john kerry said should diplomacy fail the military option is on the table. This after the deal between the u. S. And russia. Mapping out a framework for damascus to hand over their weapons. The first stop is paris. A mutant with the french president. A meeting with the french president. Diplomats put on a front to set in stone and plan to disarm chemical weapons from syria. In the coming days, we hope to tame the United Nations a strong resolution which will enforce the rule of the councils authority, chemical disarmament plan. Will force the Syrian Government to submit a list of chemical weapons and destroy them by the middle of next year. Paris, london, and wash and will look to pass a resolution and vocal Chapter Seven of the charter. Theyll authorize the use of force in syria else to comply. Fails to comply. Make no mistake, we are all agreed that includes russia that there will be consequences if assad not agree. The military option is still on the table. In moscow, the foreign minister was quick to distance himself from john kerrys comments. The statements made by our partners saying the resolution under Chapter Seven has to be adopted as quickly by the end of the week. It shows a lack of understanding of what john kerry and i agreed on. With russia, syrias only allies, it may end up wrecking the syrian peace process. Turkeys deputy prime minster has a helicopter was shot down. The pilots got several warnings earlier after they strayed about two kilometers into turkish airspace. Moving on to the shooting at the Washington Naval yard. Officials said at least six people been killed. According to police, one gunman is dead and there might be to martin. Speed a short while ago, president barack obama said the attack was cowardly and he want authorities to Work Together on the investigation. It happened on a military installation in our nations capital. It is a shooting that target our military and civilian personnel. They know the dangers of serving abroad, but today they face the unimaginable violence that they would not have expected here at home. Our correspondent is at the scene of the shooting. Philip joining us. What more can you tell us about the shooting . From what we are seeing and what we are being told, this is a very active investigation. The Police Perimeter is a tight one. Any search for additional shooters is ongoing at the navy yard facility. That is the main piece of you that we have from here is to potential gunman are at large. Thats what we got from Police Department here. Around one hour ago, one of the shooters with dad was dead according to the same department from washington, d. C. It is not so clear right now for what we heard from the Police Department that there are multiple fatalities within the yard complex. Or he four blocks from where i am now. Casualties and injuries, not so clear. Three or four blocks from where i am now. We do not have a total number yet. Not a total number a daddy yet. A total number of dead yet. We offer reports on shootings, Mass Shootings in the u. S. Sadly. This a rare occurrence and the nations capital. Security is always high and washington, d. C. And it has been increased especially after the Robert Bentley to further gunman after there were potentially two further gunman. I can see the Capitol Building from where i am standing. I am only one kilometer away. Security has been increased. This is an ongoing situation. There could be two men at large. In the described as one blackmail and one white male they have been described as one black male and one white male. They are seeing how they got into the complex. It is a very secure area of washington, d. C. And one of those shooters if there are multiple shooters died at the scene at the navy yard complex. This is a big on plex. 3000 people work here. This is a big complex. They are told to not move from where you are and be safe. Thank you very much. Time now to show you the latest images coming from italy. The concordia is still underway. This 20 month after it ran aground killing 32 people. The massive and complex operation started about 10 hours ago. Our correspondent explains them it is going slower than planned. Was the concordia has been rotated at least 10 degrees. That is really a lot a lot longer than they estimated. It was supposed to take at least 12 hours. Clearly, a lot longer will stop the salvage team said they plan to work into the night. Theyre prepared and how like up around the area. They can work through the night. There were concerns about the weather conditions, stronger winds during my time. They said they think things will go according to plan. It is better to take things slower and be more prudent. Right now, all of the residence, the journalists who are waiting here are wondering how long it will take. For the time being, there are no fairies. Everybody is here. There are no ferries. That is it from the newsroom. Time to hand over to Francois Picard for the debate. Thank you for that. It is time for the debate. Both are not him but little suspense as rwandans picked a parliament. The votes are not in, but there is little suspense as rwandans pick a new parliament. At stake, a constitutional reform that will lift term limits. With the man who directed the tutsi and started the genocide is due to step down as president. And the nearly two decades that followed, tiny rwanda has been a darling. Both because of the horror it endured back then and eight percent annual growth. Great strides in health and education. He, and the singapore of africa. Now, the west not turning a benevolent blind eye to abuses. Now bambi, the singapore of africa. Now they have become the singapore of africa. Suspending or delaying, are you leaving the country has plenty of enemies. Do the ends justify the means . We are looking at kagames wonder. We are joined by simone schlindwein. Thank you for being with us. Also in the studio, George Kazoliasan author. Welcome. Welcome to Gerard Prunier. You could join the conversation and you can on twitter and facebook. F24 debate. Polls have closed. Even when theres little suspense, its a little bit of underlying tension. With twoweek and grenade attacks. Reported earlier from a polling station in the capital. One third of season will be decided by the ballots today stop the other will be distributed according to a list. In order to increase the representation of women and youth. Highlights will record it is likely that allies will record another victory. That stake election ballots are counted is whether or not term limits will be lifted for paul kagame. They left the african viewers, democratization. A lot of our african viewers, democratization stop theres been no statement of behalf of paul kagame but that is what is expected. It is more than likely. If you look at uganda which is a little bit of of the same making in terms of ideological background and even physical presence including a war in uganda, exactly that. Im afraid he is not the only one on the continent likely that would accept to step down. Thats a possibility of changing the constitution. Simone schlindwein you have done a lot of country hopping in your reporting and the Great Lakes Region between rwanda, congo, uganda. Rwanda today when you hear that it is trying to build itself as africas singapore. What is your thought . First of all, the impression is if you enter for one dump especially from where one dump wanda rwanda, in terms of quality and how the country looks like today will stop the look is very today. The look is very different from how you analyze the country. There are very different layers of her wanda today. It is never in a certain state. It is always a process. Where it goes, it all plays along the way. How we understand rwanda today. Theres never a certain level that rwanda, it comes from a certain point that was very brutal and the country was very much a straight. It goes into a direction with a clear vision set up. For the future in terms of development and for structure infrastructure and Economic Reforms where the Country Development goes. Yes, it is always called african singapore. I guess all of this is a little bit wrong and not very right because it is difficult to compare these countries. And the space it and the specific point of development. Rwanda is a developed country. If you look at neighboring countries in terms of infrastructure, it is still lacks in terms of electricity. And all of these things that people demand. He will demand power now. Investors demand power. Rwanda still have a long way to go. And this is where we are now. A big turning point. A turning point. The that many layers. Over a year ago, a reporter followed the rwandan president. Quick he dreams of it as a an african singapore. A focus on economic and social development whether that democracy. Healthier, better educated citizens active transform this rural country into a commercial hub. Kagame is a frequent twitter user. He is at ease with the students. During those public appearances, kagame is dead serious and keeps his emotions to himself. During a question answer session, another person slowly emerges. It is the yes, you can. Rwandan style. Do not waste opportunity. If you have an opportunity for an education, sees it seize it, hold it, and run with it. Do not waste it. George kazolias, what is your reaction . He has a captured audience i would say. Cap this, captive. They are perfect elections that you can have it without democracy or freedom. That conclusion to the Opposition Party run by the members of his government. Where as real opposition people tend to either have a violent ends or end up in prison. We can have a debate on whether we want real democracy and were wanda rwanda today or not. There is not. The challenges are formidable especially as simone was saying. In the context of the current state of rwanda, born of sheer violence. A love the infrastructure was built on violence as well. They do not go into zaire and occupied just to, they brought out a lot of wealth and probably continue to do so. That was made pretty public. Where the Internet Community has really failed is because of the genocide in rwanda, a lot of things that had been people spoke up such as michael were sidelined. To prevent these things from coming out. Once again, we can discuss whether we want them to come out or not. The problem is, although we are forbidden to talk about fms city and rwanda atomicity in ethnicity in rwanda, it exists. And you know, i can look at where one does and not were wanda rwandans and not to know who is a tutsi or not. It is hogwash that there is no admitted he ethnicity. Who has power and where is the wealth. Theres got to be a lot of anger on the other side as well. Fear has changed camp. We are joined by a rwandan. Thank you for being with us. Do you agree with what George Kazolias said . Lets face it, we can been talking about ban talking about ethnicity but it Still Matters a lot. It did not go anywhere despite the government is trying to say it. It is in peoples minds. With the government the way it is Running Services in trying to oppress one from the other. You will see within every day of the government will stop it is also in peoples minds. Simone schlindwein, what is your what have you seen in terms of that . Would you say they are just as tense as they were two decades ago . Or things are evolving . It is difficult to say. As tense almost 20 years ago because comparing the situation to right now and back then. I think is interesting to compare a little bit where theres a similar consolation of ethnic problems. A different way to deal with the problems. If you compare the debate of being either one or the other ethnic group, and everyday lives. The parliament wants to say as a presentation of both all three ethnic groups and power situations. Rwanda is totally different. There is a big term a big model of seeing all the one dense rwandans. It is the way it is. Maybe at this much more to deal with and say we want to have this debate and want to have it like this if you want to talk about it or do not. How to deal with these things. I think there is a lot of unspoken tension will stop journalists say it is a little bit of a black box. We cannot determine what is going on in peoples daily lives. It is very close. It is naively to talk about things. Especially an open public spaces. It is not easy to talk about things. Maybe question how to deal with it. Overtime, could kagame critics and supporters coming from those in his inner circle. When he was followed last year, he shrugged off allegations by former aides of being a war criminal. In Africa Thomas africa, there is nobody if you are, popular presents itself. The other, they are dictators. This is a standard. This is how we wanted to look at it. Your reaction to what paul kagame said and how difficult it is to read the dynamics between people inside of rwanda. It is probably not so difficult. If you go back before the genocide, not the bad years in the late 1980s. It was not that much racial tension. It was very strong in the 1960s ahmard early 1970s and eased off. It comes in spurts. Right now, it is been pushed back into the bubble. It does not mean it is gone and things have disappeared. The problem is by denying there is an estimate problem that makes it worse. An ethnic problem that makes it worse. If you do not talk about things, you make them worse. It does not mean that it should be encouraged, there is among one group. It is what you find especially in the migrant communities in europe. There was no genocide. At the same time, and we look at the way it is handled. There was a genocide but we will not talk about it. It will not talk about what happened. Is a very simplified version. It means we are in front of the pressure. The pressure is kept inside all stop it does not mean it is smooth. Perhaps it would help if we talked about what kagame did on the march. The european commissioner at the time put the number of People Killed by an associate at 500,000. We are going to tell you on twitter. Describe their vision of democracy. What would it look like animal would include or exclude . We are pleased to be joined from brussels by the director of the radio station, albert. Let me apologize for the technical issues at the top of the show. That question from the viewer, what should democracy look like in rwanda . What it should look like is i guess, anywhere is just that we have to remember that democracy is a process all of the time. The state of democracy that we see now in the west is not the same as 1789. While building a democracy after what everyone knows what happened in 1984. It is not just building a democracy, just out of the air. It is trying to build a modern state. A modern state meaning also a modern nation, classes change. That you do not have the traditional classes anymore. And you are building new classes. All of that, building a democracy also is a bit like and business in there. What threshold can you really and what level of revenue for the citizens doesnt democracy work . We are going to pick up on that point. We have to take a quick break. Stay with us. This is rwanda france 24 debate. Hundreds of kids are killed during apartheid. 30 years on, for from being the ghetto, today
