Paul Rusesabagina freed from Prison in Rwanda

Newshour - A podcast by BBC World Service

We start in Rwanda, where Paul Rusesabagina has been released from prison. He was the manager of a hotel in Kigali in 1994 and is credited with saving the lives of more than a thousand people during the genocide. The movie "Hotel Rwanda" was inspired by his story. We bring you the latest on that story. Also on the programme: An MI5 spy who helped bring peace to Northern Ireland by defying orders, has broken his silence to the BBC, and we go to Israel and hear the views of ordinary people on the government’s plan to reform the country's judiciary.
