Oh no they dug out our crimes

NCNC

Quite

No they can't. I've been contemplating this and it seems leaders can't be held accountable. They have been given global immunity. South African leaders themselves have failed to take accountability for their own crimes. Including their own arms deals. Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, George Bush, Barack Obama, Tony Blair, Jacob Zuma. Even Malema who was interviewed by the same reporter has spewed out hate speech for over a decade but doesn't answer to anyone. The list goes on for war crimes and human rights violations but nobody does anything despite their own people calling for justice. Large corporations exploit people and the environment but nobody does anything. South Africa has been going through this turmoil for years but nobody does anything, nobody says anything. Society as a whole should be protecting the innocent and putting a stop to injustice. Unjust, uncaring people have no place in leadership positions.

Don't worry brother. Anything happen to President Putin. His Army Generals will launch the nukes. Russia army don't need permission to launch nukes unlike in America 😊

It's a simple concept: you take part of the ICC, you arrest international criminals. If you don't you've simply lost a LOT of credibility. Simple as that

Yes. Lock ‘‘em up!

They are a woken nation today more than ever. I am from Africa 🌍

Africa has been tortured, robbed, raped, cheated upon, fooled, misled and undermined, but the universal truth is these things will not last forever, Africa will find its way through these things and Africa will ultimately stand boldly for itself!

That show (Hard Talk) is normally 25 minutes long, so you're only seeing the END of the discussion. Its being presented to you as if the interviewee is being cut off, bit that's deliberately misleading. They try and keep it in the time limit because they want to keep it unedited.

@@damianeadie510 bro, but some of those Media really really love to interrupt you when the answer isn't according to what they wanted to hear, especially when they're trying to get something bad out of you, you've seen the Russian President interview 2 years ago, or that one 9f Jordan Peterson

Just because a journalist ask, an South African leader must answer? He is just trying to provoke the South African leader to say something to incriminate South Africa. Then USA will use ICC, and other NATO/USA influenced international bodies to sanction and punish South Africa. South Africa is not to be bullied now. South Africa is part of BRICs. Cheers to BRICs and South Africa.

The whole World is at fault for that, the gave the West the right to do so for over a century.

He is a criminal, who has abused human rights, surely we as South Africans would want to arrest him. International criminal law dictates. Why are cozying up to a criminal human rights abuser. It is like an apartheid fiend like Dr death coming to South Africa an d not arresting him?

It's false to claim that Russia is in a war against imperialism as they are imperialist. Russia uses to have an empire and they looks to recreate it... It's just that their empire was around Russia. He's right that arresting a head of state is something else and there are double standards. However, Bush should have been arrested... The rule of law should applies to leaders. So should Putin.

Stephen is always like that it doesn’t matter who is interviewing. I seen this many times on his show in studio. He may not get an answer, but he at least as a journalist should be open to asking the question directly.😊

No, not the answer 'he wants'... he isn't a politician, he probably doesn't personally give a sh*t. But he asked a very relevant question in current affairs, which many people want answered, considering Russia's relationship with SA in BRICS, as well as the challenges and disruption Putin is trying to make to international law and the UN etc. I think he looks despairing at a rather pointless noisy deflection from his question... he realises it was becoming a waste of time. Also it's a 25 minute show with no edits, so telling him they are running out of time is normal... (this clip is just the end of the show not some huge political victory!), Him having to state it shows he recognises when someone is trying to run the clock down like that, hoping that they can waffle and time will run out and they can avoid giving a real answer. He knows the games politicians play to avoid giving a straight answer to a straight question.

A whataboutism is never a slap, more of a squeal.

We can all agree that the war in Iraq was wrong and those responsible should face legal consequences. That doesn’t negate that what Russia is doing is wrong. They have launched an invasion of a neighbouring country resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands. They are committing genocide, by trying to erase Ukrainian culture and denying that they were ever a country. They’re forcefully deporting children to Russia which is a war crime and why there is a warrant for Putins arrest.

Our country is a total mess. Infrastructure is collapsing, people are increasing in lawlessness and our government holds no accountability for anything. We are caught between a rock and a hard place because we do not condone the increasing deviancy of America but nor do we want to invite the proven oppression of any kind of human secularism. In the example of the ANC we fully understand that yesterday's revolutionaries have become the future oppressors and that currently the justification for corruption and immorality is based on never being able to accept that black supremacy is replacing white supremacy at the actual cost of human dignity and integrity.

@@damianeadie510 you favoured Apartheid because Your friends were mistreating people of colour in USA and they are still doing it

Despite rhetorical opposition to apartheid, the United States continued to block sanctions against South Africa at the United Nations in the 1960s and the 1970s. It wasn't till late 1980s that US finally started placing sanctions, but by then so were many other countries.

Mandela also said,quote "If you're government treads you the same as the apartheid government don't vote for them" Mandela will turn over in his grave if he saw what the ANC has become.

It's question of enemies and friends but a question of principle and values ...

​@issaal-hashemi4581 These principles and values should apply to everyone including Western countries and leaders. Let them punish warmongers like Blair, Bush and Obama, and show the world that there are rules that applies to everyone. You can't have different principles and rules for different countries.

​​​@@wernervanrooyen7010lol that's rich seeing as the ANC hasn't systematically persecuted people based on their race nor has it committed mass murders, enforced segregational laws, prohibited people of colour to vote, restrict movement of people based on their race, etc, so that qoute does not apply in this instance. However, the ANC has run the country into the ground because of their corruption and we, as a nation, will have to decide whether or not they remain in power when we vote next year, but to equate their corruption with apartheid is reaching

You clearly aren't familiar with that programme... it's called 'Hard Talk'... it's not chit chat over tea and biscuits. The whole idea is the interviewer challenges the interviewee for 25 minutes (not the last small section shown here) about the toughest challenges and most thorny issues. He is supposed to chase them down on detail and not accept flippant answers or deflections... and that was all deflectoon ('whatabout this and, whatabout that?' While avoiding giving answers) And having watched that show for over 20 years I can assure you the interviewers go at it just as hard with politicians, leaders, exonomists, ecologists,religious thinkers, intellecruals, etc. from all sides of politics and every country. F W de Clerk, Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela, Mogoeng Mogoeng, Francois Pienaar, Zwelinzima Vavi, Ahmed Kathrada, Hugh Masekela, as well as names like Mickael Gorbachev, Hugo Chavez, Benazir Bhutto, Donald Trump, Ehud Barak, Noam Chomsky... It gets beyond the political slogans and media stereotypes and aims to show more of the real character of the interviewee.

@@damianeadie510 Nobody is denying it is not "Hard Talk" & what it should be like. If the host is not consistent with his pledged duties so that he displays the right logics at times & pushes forward double standards at other times, he is being biased because he has an agenda at the back of his mind. One does not need to show defiance & intimidation when the responder is calm, polite & speaking with the right logic in compliance with international laws & standards. In return, the host should use his knowledge & professionalism to tackle any loopholes in the responder's answers, if he can find any, to arrive at the truth. If hosts always behave like this gentleman, we should call the programme "Bully Arena" because it serves more on entertainment than on finding the truth. Mind you, international laws are those recognized by UN, and not some exclusive enforcements by a small group of powerful nations over the whole world.

@@donatwu3128 you really don't get it, especially with your "bully africa" comment which implies the interviewer is somehow racist for asking a politician tough questions about their legal obligations under an international treaty they are part of. Also, the interviewee is not on that show by accident, he knows what the show is and all the South Africans who have been on it over the years. This isn't a conversation with a stranger on a bus, this is planned and he has gone into it knowing exactly how it works. I have already told you on this show they interview EVERYONE like that... and he has interviewed British, European, American, Asian and African leaders equally. Are you suggesting this interviewee needed special treatment, that he wasn't up to the same challenge as everyone else? The interviewer is not a politician and is bound in his employment contract with the BBC, which is legally bound in British law NOT to present a political bias (it is most often criticised as not supporting the British government enough, ita not their mouthpiece and they don't like it!) But that doesn't mean he cannot put criticisms of opponents to a politician and ask him to explain, justify or defend their position. The whole point of a vigorous challenge is to get to the essence of the matter, to hear the politician counter that criticism and shed more light on the matter. No well educated hardend career politician who is acting in good faith for rational reasons would shrink from such questions and start deflecting to whataboutisms or claim they are being bullied.
