:18:04
Bet you really miss this. Welcome back.
:18:07
Ma'am? Excuse me.
Please don't touch the Prime Minister.
:18:11
I need you to step back, please.
:18:16
Woods.
:18:22
The first of the demonstrators.
:18:24
They're here to protest the appearance
later this week by Edmond Zuwanie.
:18:28
Not just his political future
but any future for him
:18:31
hinges on that speech
to the General Assembly.
:18:34
Dr. Zuwanie is accused of genocide,
:18:36
but he's expected to argue that his actions
were a defensive response to terrorism
:18:41
and not acts of aggressión, as some
Security Council members have charged.
:18:46
- Secret Service.
- Just a moment, please.
:18:49
We're with Foreign Dignitary Protection.
:18:53
- It's a branch of the US government.
- Dot.
:18:56
This is international territory.
I need you to wait for an escort.
:19:00
Zuwanie lands at 8.45 hours.
:19:02
State Department says no meet-and-greet,
no shopping, no Lion King.
:19:06
He leaves your podium,
his plane has two hours to clear US airspace,
:19:10
unless the UN cancels the visit
:19:12
and Tobin and I can get back
to the important work we were doing.
:19:16
That's up to the GA President.
We just present a threat assessment.
:19:20
- Why is he coming?
- To make a speech.
:19:23
To escape the International Criminal Court.
:19:25
Security Council was debating whether
to bring charges of ethnic cleansing,
:19:30
so he'll come,
talk about free elections and reform
:19:34
and pray that that appeases everyone.
:19:37
So the stakes are high.
He's not going to cancel.
:19:41
Tell me about the interpreter.
:19:46
Born here, but lived mostly
in Africa and Europe.
:19:49
She studied music in Johannesburg
:19:51
and linguistics at the Sorbonne
and various countries in Europe.
:19:55
Parents?
:19:56
British mother, white African father.
Moved here five years ago.
