A one time march and welcome to the program its been nearly forty years since the camero rouge murdered nearly two Million People in cambodia a quarter of the countrys population but today for the first time a un by court in the capital phnom penh found two of the regimes leaders guilty of genocide the two defendants. Are already serving Life Sentences for Crimes Against Humanity. This is a long awaited moment to form
a Committee Rouge Leaders Known Share and kiff samphan are sentenced to Life In Prison For Genocide by a un backed quote. From 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 phase two zero zero is in 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 by forcibly moving people from the cities to the countryside nearly two million cambodians died from overwork starvation a mass executions during its Reign Of Terror from One Thousand Nine Hundred Five to Nine Hundred Seventy nine plum pens museums and memorials detail the sheer horror of the past a past that lingers. For all they deserve to get the sentence because they committed such the crimes the rest of my Family Members were killed and the only child who survived that regime. This is an important moment for cambodia its courts recognizing that what happened here was indeed genocide. Bring in our South East Asia correspondent and heartache in bangkok bastion what more can you tell us about the two men whove just been found guilty of committing
genocide. Well terry they were the two most senior figures of the camero regime who are still alive. Is or was the deputy of the leader a former khmer rouge leader pol pot who died in one Nine Hundred Ninety Eight and. Was the Head Of State under the khmer rouge they were both serving Life Sentences already for Crimes Against Humanity that they were convicted of in an earlier trial but they deny any responsibility. For these for these crimes and they were indicted in this trial with along with two other senior figures of the clear regime but because this is already almost forty years after the end of that regime and the defendants are very old One Hundred Eighty Seven and The Other Two have died when the trial was still in progress which took it took several took several years this
trial so they were the last two that could have been or that that could be convicted in this trial. Now these verdicts were a long time in coming the courts work has been controversial hasnt it. It has for one because its been such a long time since the end of the rule cambodia from One Hundred Seventy Five to Nine Hundred Seventy nine so its been almost forty years until these verdicts and also because there are critics who are saying this should go further that there should be more than more than these two or three people who were convicted of Crimes Against Humanity during that time but cambodian Prime Minister who has been in power for thirty years and who is a former member of the khmer rouge himself he strongly opposes that he says that would destabilize the country and since he wields almost Unlimited Power in
cambodia its very unlikely that were going to see more trials go ahead terry. Thank you so much that was our correspondent talking to us from bangkok. British Prime Minister theresa may is stepping up efforts to defend her controversial breaks that deal today may has said the country will be plunged into a deep and great uncertainty if the drug plan is abandoned as well as a tumultuous day on thursday when several Cabinet Members resigned including breaks it secretary dominic rob may is also facing a back lash from her own party with Hard Line Breaks and tears seeking to challenge earlier ship but in the last hour a key pro brags that Boysen Teresa Mayes top Ministerial Team environment secretary michael gove has confirmed that he is staying in his post and says he has confidence in may yesterday he was reportedly offered a job as new brakes at secretary Prime Minister theresa may was tight lipped about
that in a Radio Interview earlier but have you offered him the road trip now i dont talk about things they do with to do with the Company Company reshuffle and i happen to point to the new secretary at but always ill be doing that over the course of the next year as i will remember if you are a busy man could i get on the book is and talk about how to michael gove who both now and i have to say the cover was made you can sort of root in my life i dont bet on anything to do with politics right id advise you not to i thought all right well have to well wait and see. Ok lets bring in our correspondent in london Barrett Matias standing by there for us there get it was rumored that michael go would step down to in light of all the developments regarding the braggs it deal now hes confirmed that hes staying what does his support mean for the Prime Minister. I think it says something about the state of british politics when its big news that somebody is not stepping down it says something about series of mays
difficulties she had many ministers stepping down but now michael gave a crucial ally is staying he said he wants to bring the deal to a better place and i presume what do you means he wants to bring it to a better place in parliament here where we are this is where the dia finally has to be accepted after its formally also agreed with the e. U. But then in parliament thats their presumption that there will be a vote in december at the moment it looks very very tight the very more looks like the reason may well have a hard time to get a tree but people like michael gove want to work on it and want to help her get it through parliament now the drug deal is being hotly discussed of course saw throughout the United Kingdom our reporters were on The Streets Of London last night getting some reaction. 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 means no go. Until
recently. Was a possibility it is now we. Must agree now its our time to go back to the country and give them a choice do you want this deal that the governments negotiated all deal on say to remain within the your opinion. Is just ridiculous as a willing to kill. Was the opinions and your opinion stay definitely say the original vote was made with 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 frank said tears on happy to. The politicians five foot. And. Something in the middle well at 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 bricks that. The difficult Compromises Havent United the two sides have to be paid on the country great citizen 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. So the tears and remain are is both on a happy bear giteau what are the main problems that people have with the stress deal. Well i would say a lot of people in the country actually really nothing to do with it anymore because for them its really too complicated and they just want to get it on the and they dont want to hear about it anymore but underneath there is
a lot of confusion in the country and a lot of anger like melissa described in her piece because for the breaks for the people who voted bricks a day a lot of them had these Magic Figures like Three Hundred Fifty Million more for the n. H. S. And now it looks like nothing like that will transpire or at least not in the very short future and for people who are desperate to remain in the u. Any deal its reason may is striking is not as good as e. U. Membership so you know youve got these different expectations and its very difficult with a compromise to get through a recent poll has come out and that said that forty percent of british people are now defining the themselves as very clearly either leave or remain so to change their attitudes will be quite challenging so its really a big task for the m. P. s and also if its reason may to sort of bring the country to behind whatever she is going to end up agreeing with brussels very good thank
you very much for now v. W. Spirit must there in london.
