Betancourt on Hardtalk

There's an interview on BBC News 24 (UK) tomorrow night at 11.30 with Stephen Sacker. I presume BBC World in Colombia will have it at some point.

...and so it goes

23:30 GMT. I presume it will be repeated at varying times throughout the week.

BBC World has Hardtalk at various times.

well said, jack.....

it's like some dreamer thinks the 'status quo' occurs only in colombia. unfortunatley, it's in my home town, all the towns i ever lived in and everywhere i've never been nor never expect to be.

true, we're talkin about colombia, but certain problems which plague society don't differentiate by borders...wealth distribution is one of em.

this same hydra headed cobra exists even in so called socialist/communist countries. don't see the powers that be livin in slums like bello or triste around medallo. hardly.

all we as lovers of mother colombia can do is keep the pressure on to insure that the citizens, all, receive their rightful share of the national pie. sad as it is to me, over the years since the '80's, the altruists who got elected to congress have turned out to be no more than just another greedy politician. without throwing out names they, and many of you, know who they are.

Great interview. Better than Larry King, Hardtalk is definitely a great show, although I must say Sacker wasn't hard at all...

Now,,, his is a great interview! Larry King`s was more like "National Inquirer". She was not so tired and he did`t keep on interrupting her for commercials.

Thanks for the link tasco666.

*Very* moving interview one of the best I've ever seen with anyone anywhere.

About her physical condition that others have said to be so good I quite disagree-she looks deeply fatigued, frail, glassy eyed and puffy faced the sort of fatigue no makeup can disguise.

That journalist is quite moved as well-he doesn't look at all like a hard bitten cynic but is deeply respectful-very professional attitude on his part.

"Sam Salmon...actually she didn't look that great BEFORE she was kidnapped."

True enough but she hadn't been so elated from being released after 6.5 years of captivity nor was she wearing so much makeup.

It astounds me that people can't see through the makeup-am I the only one who see the light brown rinse in the hair, the ominous signs of balding?

Perhaps not balding, but you can lose a lot of hair due to poor diet, malnutrition and lack of vitamins and minerals. If her hair loks thinner or patchier it may well be connected to her state of health and extreme thinness.
