Leaked US army video shows attack on citizens
An American army offical has said a video of a US helicopter attack in Baghdad is genuine. The footage, taken in 2007, was published by the American Wikileaks whistleblower website on Monday. The video was withheld from the public until Wikileaks received it from an anonimous source. We spoke to Julian Assange from Wikileaks.
What next for South Africa?
Police in South Africa have had to erect a barbed wire barricade to separate rival demonstrators outside of a courthouse in Ventersdorp, 100 kilometers west of Johannesburg, at the start of the trial against two black farm workers accused of killing Eugene Terre'blanche, leader of the Afrikaner Resistance Movement. We asked our correspondent Elles van Gelder what's next for South Africa.

This was not a murder about pay dispute. This was a political murder planned by the ANC government.
The ANC youth leader have been singing "kill the boer" "kill the farmer" for the last two weeks before the murder of Mr Terreblanche death. The same thing that happend in Uganda, Congo, Zimbabwe...you name it, is now happening in South Africa. You just have to look at Zimbabwe to see the future of South Africa. A country that once was a nett exporter and considered the bread basket of Africa turned into the most corrupt, poorest country in the world once the last white farmer got kiled/ or kicked off the farms.
At the end of the day white rule in Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) looked like a picnic compared to what Mugabe has done to his own people.
