:00:10. > :00:17.Ffi Nelson Mandela won't be buried for a while yet, but today the world
:00:18. > :00:22.said goodbye to him. Was the spirit of reconciliation all too strong to
:00:23. > :00:27.prevent old enemies making up? President Obama and the Cuban leader
:00:28. > :00:31.shook hands. We discuss the significance of that handshake with
:00:32. > :00:39.the former Foreign Secretary Lord Owen. It will come to more and more
:00:40. > :00:45.of us, and there is no cure. He said on one occasion this is actually
:00:46. > :00:51.happening to me isn't it? And he used to describe feeling as if he
:00:52. > :00:59.only had half a head. We talk among others to Sir Terry Prachett as he
:01:00. > :01:06.feels dementia taken a ever-stronger grip on him. And is a super-max
:01:07. > :01:11.prison any place for a person who is mentally ill. We report from
:01:12. > :01:22.California. They know that this is inconsistent with mental health
:01:23. > :01:29.care, it will make people worse. It wasn't the final farewell but it was
:01:30. > :01:33.perhaps the last hurrah, the Johannesburg rain late, and apart
:01:34. > :01:38.from the boos that greeted the current South African President were
:01:39. > :01:43.good-natured and even joyous, the attendance of dozens of world
:01:44. > :01:51.leaders saw the memorial celebration for Nelson Mandela bounce around the
:01:52. > :01:54.world. We were there. It is high summer in Johannesburg, though you
:01:55. > :01:59.wouldn't know it. But they came even so, not to mourn but to celebrate
:02:00. > :02:04.Mandela's life. In that life the private and the public were
:02:05. > :02:10.interwoven. Winnie Mandela has led her whole life in the public gaze,
:02:11. > :02:13.she took her place alongside 100 foreign political leaders. Four
:02:14. > :02:18.British prime ministers came, past and present. And celebrities from
:02:19. > :02:29.showbiz, such was the breadth of Mandela's reach. Long live the
:02:30. > :02:34.spirit of Nelson Mandela, long live! Long live. Viva Nelson Mandela,
:02:35. > :02:37.viva. It was easy to forget in this atmosphere that there was family at
:02:38. > :02:44.the heart of this, the eyes of the world intruding on their private
:02:45. > :02:49.grief. Mandela's widow, Graca Machel, rarely left his side in the
:02:50. > :02:54.last months, she seemed utterly striken. The two women who loved
:02:55. > :03:01.Mandela not as a leader but a husband, were united in their loss.
:03:02. > :03:05.I apologise for the rain, in our African tradition, when it rains and
:03:06. > :03:14.you are buried it means that the gates of heaven are most probably
:03:15. > :03:23.open as well. Mandela liberated his people and gave them their voice. Mr
:03:24. > :03:33.Robert Mugabe. They cheered Robert Mugabe. But George W Bush whose Iraq
:03:34. > :03:41.War Mandela condemned was briefly booed. Tony Blair sat quietly at a
:03:42. > :03:51.distance. Barack Obama's sudden appearance lifted the mood
:03:52. > :03:57.dramatically. He stopped to shake the hand of Raul Castro of Cuba.
:03:58. > :04:02.This apparently friendly exchange after 50 years of enmity. He seemed
:04:03. > :04:07.to identify personally with the experience of many black people here
:04:08. > :04:13.and he quoted Mandela liberally. And we know he shared with millions of
:04:14. > :04:18.black and coloured South Africans the anger bourne of a thousand
:04:19. > :04:21.sleights, a thousand inat thissingties, a thousand
:04:22. > :04:27.unremembered moments, a desire to fight the system that imprisoned my
:04:28. > :04:31.people, he said. In strong uncompromising language he laid down
:04:32. > :04:36.this challenge to political leaders both at home and assembled here
:04:37. > :04:41.today. There are too many people who happily embrace Madiba's legacy of
:04:42. > :04:48.reconciliation but passionately resist even modest reforms that
:04:49. > :04:53.would challenge poverty and growing inequality. There are too many
:04:54. > :04:55.leaders who claim solidarity with Madiba's struggle for
