it will be fine and dry. Heavy rain in the morning and then during the | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
course of the afternoon that will affect other parts of the country. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Iraqi forces have launched a major assault on Falluja, | :00:09. | :00:16. | |
the first city to fall to Islamic State militants | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
The former President of Chad is found guilty of war crimes | :00:19. | :00:28. | |
in an African Union-backed court - which is actually the first | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
Now this is Australia's Great Barrier Reef. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
Scientists are warning that climate change could be responsible | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
which is killing up to a third of the reef. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
And we are going to have the story of the international | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
footballer kidnapped in Mexico who has now been recovered. | :00:43. | :01:01. | |
The city of Falluja in Iraq has been a stronghold of so-called | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
Islamic State for more than two years, but early this morning, | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
the Iraqi army said it began an operation to storm the city. | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
As these blue arrows show all around Falluja, | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
elite Iraqi forces have been trying to encircle the city and so far | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
the fighting seems to be centred on Islamic State defences | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
Also what has been happening, there have been three bombings | :01:25. | :01:36. | |
in and around Baghdad, which Islamic State has also | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
We are hearing at least 20 people have died. | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
Let me cross over to Sebastien, our Arab Affairs Editor. | :01:44. | :01:52. | |
the Iraqi Government said they were going to go after IS in the centre | :01:53. | :02:01. | |
of Falluja. This has been building up months, it has been under siege | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
from the huge conglomeration of Iraqi forces, not just the elite | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
forces, ordinary troops, tribal fighters and militia as well. | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
What we are seeing today is a move on several fronts, | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
at least three fronts, particularly from the south, | :02:16. | :02:16. | |
to try and actually break the defences of IS around | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
Now, we're not quite sure how far they have got with that. | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
There is a sense that Sadr, which is a district in the south, | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
has come under attack from the Iraqi forces, | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
I mean, IS has put up resistance in other cities it has lost | :02:29. | :02:36. | |
but I think Falluja will be the place so far of the cities it | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
has been fighting to hold that will see the strongest resistance. | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
Do we know who is left in the city, when it comes to either | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
Well, in terms of fighters, there is anything from around 500 | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
to 1200 IS fighters, well, IS fighters plus other | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
fighters who may not have joined I is but fight alongside them, | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
who may not have joined IS but fight alongside them, because when | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
they took over Falluja, it was with the help | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
Falluja has long been a very fertile ground, | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
long before IS existed, with Al-Qaeda, with a Sunni | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
insurgency in general, so it is a favourable place | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
As far as residents are concerned, about 50,000 are believed | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
to still be there and huge concern over what could happen to them. | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
I mentioned the Baghdad bombings just then as well, Baghdad about 50 | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
kilometres away from Falluja, about an hour or so by car. | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
How do you see those two incidences happening? | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
The battle for Falluja and then these bombings taking place? | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
One is it would be an attempt to distract | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
the Iraqi Government, the Iraqi forces, | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
the Iraqi Government, the Iraqi forces, from this offensive. | :03:39. | :03:48. | |
It would also be trying to weaken some of the forces. | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
I mean, they went after Shia targets and also Shia militia targets. | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
And secondly, it follows, really, a change in the strategy | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
of IS who have sort of accepted to some extent that they may | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
They already have lost a lot of territory, maybe down to 14% | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
of the 40% they once held, but their spokesman issued a message | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
just a week or so ago saying even if we lose territory, | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
we will continue to fight and we have seen in Baghdad this | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
year a scale of bombings that we haven't seen | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
So clearly, they are putting their focus on that as well now | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
Well, we want to move onto another story that has been | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
developing during the day and that is a landmark court case | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
Hissene Habre ruled Chad back in the 1980s. | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
He has been convicted of crimes against humanity. | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
But the part about this story is that the trial | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
Now this is the first time that the Courts of one | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
African country have prosecuted the rule of another. | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
Our correspondent is in Chad and sent us this. | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
Minutes after the verdict was announced, the victims lettered | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
their joy. These are people who spend years in prison, some of them | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
still physically damaged by torture. TRANSLATION: I am satisfied with the | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
verdict. Hissene Hebre's sentenced to life is just fine by me. I didn't | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
expect to feel such joy, but today, I am very, very happy. For the | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
victims, this verdict is the conclusion of a struggle for 20 | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
years to bring Hissene Hebre to justice. They feel this is an | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
historical day for the country and for Africa, the day the people of | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
Chad put a dictator in prison. Hissene Hebre was sentenced to life | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
imprisonment for crimes against humanity. During his time in office, | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
it was estimated that 40,000 people were killed. | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
TRANSLATION: When we dug a hole, we would put two bodies inside. Here, | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
two more bodies on the other side, the same thing to other bodies. This | :05:49. | :05:56. | |
man was a prisoner during Hebre's rule. This plane was a mass grave, | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
everyday the two years he says he buried at least six people. | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
TRANSLATION: A lot of people were arrested and executed and a lot of | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
people died. I know they accused me of being involved in politics but | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
this is untrue, I'm just a farmer. Thousands of files on the regime's | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
prisoners were found and used in the trial. Among them, 800 death | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
certificates, including one that says the prisoner died while being | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
forced to reveal certain truths. It consists in tying two sticks | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
together around the victim's head, often inflicting lasting brain | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
damage. The man drew several torture techniques for the judge to see. He | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
was a victim himself. TRANSLATION: When I look at these | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
drawings, it is like I am experiencing the events again. I | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
fill it in my bones. When I drove this part in particular, I remember | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
how they climbed on my back and shouted, "Savage, you can just die." | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
The victims say they will remain scarred for life but this verdict | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
allows them to look forward. What we have suffered can never happen again | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
in Chad. What we want here more than anything else is stability, | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
tranquillity and peace. This will make us happy. What happened with | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
Hissene Hebre was enough for us. This trial significant for the | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
victims, it was also a milestone for African justice. International | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
jurisdictions have been criticised by African leaders and now that a | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
local court has shown that it can try another country's president, we | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
may see more cases emerge in other parts of the continent. We are used | :07:37. | :07:46. | |
to images of the Great Barrier Reef, and fast underwater wonderland, but | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
now this is what some parts are actually looking like, so much more | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
bleached. Scientists in Australia say mass bleaching is causing this | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
damage. It is basically the most extreme occurrence they say they | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
have ever measured on the reef and they also blame climate change. Here | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
is a quote from one of the scientists on how bad the situation | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
is, professor Terry Hughes... More on this story with Jon | :08:11. | :08:20. | |
Donnison. This is what the Great Barrier Reef | :08:21. | :08:31. | |
is supposed to look like. I have asked, underwater multicoloured | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
Waterland -- wonderland. But this is how much of it looks today. Pale and | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
sickly. The latest research showing that in parts, coral bleaching has | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
left 35% of the reef dead or dying. It happens when warmer water causes | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
the coral to weaken and lose the colourful algae that provide oxygen | :08:54. | :09:01. | |
and nutrients. It is because of global warming. | :09:02. | :09:10. | |
surface temperatures, this year was a very, | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
very dry give the northern part of the Great Barrier Reef, | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
high sunlight, all these factors came together to produce one | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
of the most dramatic coral bleaching events that has ever occurred | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
on the Great Barrier Reef, or the most dramatic. | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
Australia is one of the world's largest per capita emitter | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
It side still UN's world Heritage committee. -- it cites. | :09:26. | :09:34. | |
The German chairman of the committee said that Australia's management | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
of the Great Barrier Reef was a world-class exemplar | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
So there is no question that we're doing a good job. | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
One month away from a general election, Australia's politicians | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
announcing a $400 million plan to protect the reef if elected. | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
The opposition Labour Party accused the government of being in denial | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
report out last week and pressuring officials to remove references that | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
We see the effects of climate change and we have the government | :10:05. | :10:15. | |
currently in Canberra who despite the protestations | :10:16. | :10:16. | |
from Mr Turnbull, are not acting on climate change. | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
We see a government that managed to censor the Unesco | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
This is a government who doesn't want to hear the problem, | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
they just want to stop anyone else talking about the issue. | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
will not save the Great Barrier Reef. | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
It will take decades to recover from the damage done, | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
and many environmentalists are now warning that one of the seven | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
natural wonders of the world might not be around for future | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
Still to come on the programme, we have got a special report from | :10:45. | :11:01. | |
inside Guantanamo Bay almost eight years on from President Obama's | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
pledge to close the controversial prison. Is he any closer? | :11:06. | :11:13. | |
Two men have appeared in court charged with immigration offences | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
after 18 Albanians were rescued from a sinking boat off the Kent coast | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
yesterday. Here's Simon Jones. The two men have been charged with | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
conspiring to facilitate the entry of non-EU nationals into the UK. It | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
was a brief court appearance this morning, lasting for only around | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
five minutes and the two men have been remanded in custody and they | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
will have do appear in front of Maidstone Crown Court and that will | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
be at the beginning of next month. As regards the Albanians who were | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
rescued from the boat, the Home Office is still questioning them | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
this evening. Among them are two this evening. Among them are two | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
children and also a woman. Now, what happened has raised this whole | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
debate once again of just how secure our borders actually are. The | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
immigration services union says it believes whole stretches of the | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
coastline are effectively going unpoliced because there are not the | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
resources to do it. This is Outside Source live from the | :12:13. | :12:27. | |
BBC newsroom. The lead story: Iraqi Government forces have made gains in | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
their campaign to drive Islamic State militants from the city of | :12:31. | :12:32. | |
Falluja. Let's take a look at some of the | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
stories the BBC's languages services are working right now. BBC Russia | :12:38. | :12:41. | |

Among the most read online, in Among the most read online, in | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
Japan, search has resumed for a seven-year-old boy who was left in | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
the woods by his parents as punishment. The boy has not been | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
seen for two days after his parents left him alone because he had | :13:23. | :13:29. | |

international footballer Alan Pulido has been rescued, a day after being | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
kidnapped by armed men in the North of the country. He was abducted in | :13:38. | :13:46. | |

Olympiakos and he was on the Mexican national team at the last World Cup. | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
We got more context about the abduction. | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
This is in a state of Mexico that is very violent, to drug gangs and | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
cartels fighting for the territory, which is the way to the United | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
States, to take all the drugs, and the hometown of Alan Pulido is one | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
of the notoriously very dangerous places. He was at a party, as Avon | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
does, with his girlfriend, decided to go to another party. He stopped | :14:24. | :14:25. | |
and he is taken. What is incredible and he is taken. What is incredible | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
is the rescue. He was rescued really fast and in the beginning, we didn't | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
have many details. Right now, the details we have officially is only | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
two paragraphs and a lot of things they have been saying, the police | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
have been saying, they say there was no violence, they rescued him | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
because he was left with his phone and he could call the police and | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
that is how the police knew exactly where he was and there was no ransom | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
paid. Loads of questions without cancers. I mean, why did they leave | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
that gorgeous woman behind when they that gorgeous woman behind when they | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
actually wanted money -- without answers? The elections in that state | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
are in a week's time and they never paid the ransom. This is an | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
exception. In Mexico, there is a big problem with kidnapping. The | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
official figures are no, they say it is 1,000 a year, but really, what | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
the experts say is there are around 270 kidnaps a day and if you go to | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
the main charts of what are the most dangerous cities in the -- and | :15:36. | :15:43. | |
countries, Mexico is one of the most dangerous countries to be kidnapped. | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
To a few business stories now. First to France where a new strike threat | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
has been issued that would target the Euro 2016 football | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
championships. Weeks of clashes championships. Weeks of clashes | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
between police and protesters who have been demanding that the | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
Government withdraw a divisive Labour bill. Union leaders have | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
called for transport strikes in ten cities where the tournament is being | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
held. Let's hear more from Lucy Williamson on how the strikes are | :16:09. | :16:10. | |
escalating. escalating. | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
Keeping up with these protests and strikes is pretty much a full-time | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
job here, they are so complicated and multilayered. When I tell you | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
that one French daily newspaper has now brought out a monthly calendar | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
so you can see by colour-coded dots exactly who is striking where and | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
which union supporting it on each day, that gives you some idea of how | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
complicated it is. We are facing a complicated it is. We are facing a | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
raft of new strakes back delete strikes this year, the trains are | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
going on strike, the Paris Metro, air traffic controllers and as you | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
further ahead to Euro 2016, which is further ahead to Euro 2016, which is | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
Government as they try to negotiate Government as they try to negotiate | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
a way out of this. Two unions have reported to say they want transport | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
strikes and there has also been a call for a national Day of action on | :17:02. | :17:03. | |
June 14, which is during the Euro 2016 championships. | :17:04. | :17:07. | |

more alarming news for the economy there. Let's take a look at this | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
tweet from Forbes. The Venezuelan currency has lost 99% of its value | :18:08. | :18:12. | |

different. If you need a companion, this little fellow, or some help | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
around your home, a Taiwanese computer company thinks it has the | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
answer. It is launching what it says is the first affordable housing | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
robot. Say hello to my friend, Cindy from | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
the BBC. Hi, my name is Zembo, it is the BBC. Hi, my name is Zembo, it is | :18:54. | :19:01. | |
a pleasure to meet you. Meet the modern-day butler, playmate and home | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
monitor. Well, that is what Jesus hopes he will become. Connected to a | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
smart home, you can tell him to turn off lights and locked doors or even | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
read bedtime stories to your children. I want to hear a story. | :19:13. | :19:20. | |
What story would you like to hear? The wolf and the seven sheep. He is | :19:21. | :19:28. | |
programmed to understand only a few commands and only very exact ones. | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
But Jesus says that when it hits the stores later this year, it will be | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
able to respond to a lot more commands. I have a reminder for | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
you... Isco video gives a glimpse of what he will be able to do, | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
reminding his owner of an appointment. Reading out recipes. | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
Next step, step two... But having wanted a robot, I am sceptical, so | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
the chairman is showing me the ability to detect what is happening | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
at home, including what matter later someone falling. It can send a text | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
message to the owner who can remove it by -- move it by remote control | :20:06. | :20:13. | |
to find a family member. Mr issue says he comes at a low price because | :20:14. | :20:22. | |
they got rid of the human features. Some people tried to design a robot | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
and they say it is the best robot in the world, but very expensive and | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
never really possible for every household. Our purpose is to try and | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
ensure that, you know, it is really for every household and try to be | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
very practical. Zembo costs just over a third of the price of other | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
robot and is much lighter, but he only connects to android devices. | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
His functionality is to be expanded but with his low price and all the | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
things he can do, ASUS is hoping Zembo will convert those who still | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
think household robots are just a gimmick. | :21:03. | :21:12. | |
Well, here in Britain, it is 24 days to the referendum on EU membership | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
and the campaign is turning our usual politics inside out, leading | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
to the formation of unlikely alliances. On the state in Europe | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
site this morning, we saw Conservative Prime Minister David | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
Cameron campaigning side-by-side with the new Labour Mayor of London | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
Sadiq Khan. Mr Cameron described him as a proud Muslim after a month ago | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
accusing him of appearing with terrorist supporters. | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
Appearing shoulder to shoulder, two men from rival parties who only | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
weeks ago were engaged in a fierce political row. The Conservative | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
Prime Minister with the Labour Mayra Blunden. He talks about his father. | :21:55. | :22:02. | |
-- mayor of London. He is the son of a bus driver, I am the son of a | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
stockbroker, it is not so romantic. stockbroker, it is not so romantic. | :22:07. | :22:08. | |
They Remain Campaign called this an unprecedented show of cross-party | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
unity for their case to stay in the EU. We can be clear about the things | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
we can guarantee if we stay in this reformed European union. If you wake | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
up on June the 24th, you know what you get with our campaign and the | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
outcome that we seek. The so-called guarantee card contains five | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
promises there are Remain Campaign says will continue if Britain stays | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
other European countries, and a other European countries, and a | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
guarantee over workers' right. There was no such cross-party unity a few | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
weeks ago. During the mayoral campaign, the Prime Minister was | :22:45. | :22:49. | |
cheered by Tory MPs as he said Sadiq Khan had shared platforms with | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
extremists but now it is Mr Cameron being attacked by some of the MPs | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
who sit behind him. Two of his backbenchers have suggested he must | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
get a decisive win in the referendum or face a confidence vote. Vote to | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
leave campaigners have dismissed today's pledge card saying it shows | :23:06. | :23:14. | |
a vote to stay in would be that the UK. High immigration is depressing | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
wages, having a direct impact on household income and it will only | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
get worse because we will see more economic failure in the Eurozone, | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
meaning more young people seeking work here because the EU is failing | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
them in their own countries. Some of the messages being pushed here today | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
are clear appeal to Labour voters as remain side ramps up its efforts to | :23:35. | :23:42. | |
make sure people turn out to vote. Today's appearance of a senior | :23:43. | :23:43. | |
Labour figure alongside a Labour figure alongside a | :23:44. | :23:45. | |
Conservative Prime Minister under pressure from some within his own | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
party shows how this referendum campaign is rewriting the rules of | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
British politics. Now, over the weekend, there was a | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
sad story from the United States that caused outrage online and also | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
divided opinion. This was the moment a 17-year-old western lowland | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
gorilla called Harambe came across a four-year-old boy who had fallen | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
into his enclosure in Cincinnati zoo. Shortly after these images, zoo | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
worker shot and killed the gorilla, which is an endangered species, out | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
was a tweet from the local NBC was a tweet from the local NBC | :24:25. | :24:32. | |
station in Cincinnati which says... And there is also an online petition | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
that we saw to get the state Government of Cincinnati to hold the | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
an investigation into child's home an investigation into child's home | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
life. The petition, over 181,000 signatures to date. Well, the mother | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
of the little boy, she has been speaking, she has posted on her | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
Facebook page, responding to the many critics and she said... | :24:58. | :25:11. | |
"Accidents happen but I'm thankful the right people were in the right | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
place today." The director of the zoo stood by the decision to shoot | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
the gorilla dead. Looking back, we would make the same decision. I know | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
that after it is over and the child is safe, it is easy like a Monday | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
morning quarterback to look at it and say, don't we need to do this | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
differently? The people who say that do not understand Primate biology | :25:37. | :25:38. | |
and silverback gorillas and the danger the child in and were not | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
there at an important time to make important decisions. We stand by our | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
decision and we would make the same call today. More on that story on | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
