Hardtalk 4: Is Sri Lanka really entering a new era?
BBC HARDtalk 4:
Presented by Stephen Sackur:
"HARDtalk has come to Sri Lanka, a year after government forces finally defeated the Tamil Tigers, to end Asia's longest running war. But now the talk is of reconciliation and rebuilding; but how realistic is that?, when this country is still wrestling with communal and political mistrust; My guest today is Sri Lanka's influential Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapakse:"
Stephen Sackur is the regular presenter of HARDtalk, the current affairs interview programme on BBC World and News 24. Previously, Stephen was the BBC's Europe correspondent and, prior to that, the BBC's Washington correspondent.
