"We dont have much time" when it comes to criticizing Blair for his war crimes...you should be ashamed to call yourself a reporter.

[@nihadfilipovic9525]

He is a reporter not an investigator. He manage to got a emotional (meaning sincere) respons from interwieved and thats it. Job done. ... Blear (and Bush) started a unjust war and they should have been tried for that crime... but what his country and the rest done to persecute and put them on trial. It is stupid to expect the USA or GB to prosecute them, just as it is stupid to expect e.g. from Russia to prosecute Putin. ...

[@abidulislam3620]

@@nihadfilipovic9525 Bro that doesn't mean it did not happen. Where was the apology? The world will End Because of Usa And Russia Fighting Proxy wars killing innocent people.

[@EvilZ2009]

​@@nihadfilipovic9525 That is politics, Tony Blair and George Bush and their best friends (Colin Powell, Condy ,Ol' Rummy and Dicky and many more) should be internationally recognized for their part in the massacre of at least a million Iraqis.... These people will never be arrested but we should have a court where they are declared absent. This is the only way to hurt people, by smearing their names in history. Like Henry Kissinger who many Americans still do not hold him responsible for the brutal slaughter that occurred in Vietnam,Burma,Cambodia,Laos...

[@nidelaz]

@@nihadfilipovic9525 What is the meaning about the war? Did you know? The african head of state said that he knows, did you know to?

[@MomentousOpus]

@@nihadfilipovic9525 Actually a reporter is required to investigate. If by investigator you a detective witha badge then you clearly lack knowledge of the responsibility of a journalist. And it's not stupid because ppl are accusing them of war crimes. This is not your ordinary petty crime, your talking about millions of live lost. Civilians and Soldiers included.

A TIGHT SLAP 👋 to US-EU hypocrisy 👏👏👏😂😂

[@paulkamondo824]

The impact of his stand is that UK, EU and USA. Have awoken the emotions in Africa and Middle East and all ROADS LEAD EAST. EU will be a none factor in 20 yrs in Africa.

I am from EU and for me EU is not factor now not in 20 years.

Very intelligent. Excellent answers.

[@jvm-tv]

Only if he was as intelligent running the country

[@ettieneterblanche290]

You're easily swayed by cod-revolutionaries.

[@Chi__22]

I guess when Fikile raised the middle east stuff the interviewer had no comment there. Nice interview. ANC has great pressure to produce results hope they manage and if they don't I hope the people make the right decision.

[@somethingirreversib]

Stephen Sackur is an excellent questionaire. Next time he should sit down with Zelenskyy, ask why they failed to build a single km of motorway in Ukraine during 30 years, why they have erected Bandera statues in recent yrars and why minorities have been abolished from their rights. Ask why waves after waves of forced conscripts are getting ripped out of their car and sent to minefields without arty and ifv support to save PR images in media. Or ask questions like when the next elections will be allowed, when the opposition parties will be released from prison or when their radio stations will be available again. He should ask politicians and review why Ukraine is important, but no other nation was important to date to help other countries to fight against Russia. Its not the problem with his question, but the one sided East Indian Company attitude that bothers objectivity.

[@arthurtusingwire1173]

slowly united states will die with its hypocricism.... Africa has got enough of disrespect from them

[@user-rr4gh4bu7w]

Put a slap on his face on the issue of Putin arrest 😂

[@AleX10zam]

what moral authority do you have to blame Russia for war crimes if your country supported all EEUU invasions across the middle east?

[@ReadLearnMove]

I NEVER SEEN AFRICAN GOING TO USA OR EUROPE TELLING THE GOVERNMENT WHY YOU HAVE TAX AND UNEMPLOYMENT.. WHAT A RUDE USA AND EUROPE

[@dcsthegeneral2059]

He got off that Putin talk soooo fast when asked why Blair was never imprisoned by the same ICC he so claims to want Putin arrested

Why would a journalist start to threaten the guy's position of power indirectly after he refuses to do what the American authorities want

[@Maneca471]

He is not a journalist. He is a servant of the Anglo American empire.

[@tarsisvanbrussel5221]

It is a shame that electricity has become unavailable to so many people in a beautiful such as South Africa. Eskom shouldn’t be the only energy supplier to South Africa. There should be others. There should other energy giants capable to provide electricity to South Africa by hydroelectric power as well. Putting the burden on Eskom only is not the way to go.

Why is he cutting off certain parts of mbalula's answers... next time Mbalula should have his own cameras on set that way he can release the entire interview. These people are so full of it..

On the question of mass destruction, this Scrooge from BBC felt the heat and without any answer, he dodged the heat and switches back to issue with lights on and off! Like a child, this interviewer kept asking same questions about load sheddings? Just go back home to BBC and let SA handle their challenges in their Country!

I am not saying the USA is perfect and is not to blame for many problems in the world, but at the moment the situation will be really shit for me and you if they let us go. It's fine to take a stance against them, but be prepared to pay a price for that stance.
