06/03/2013
Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta
Hello, and welcome once again to As It Is, VOA’s daily magazine show for people learning American English.
I’m Christopher Cruise.
Today, we tell about a reported link between human rights abuses in Kenya and several of the country’s leaders, including the current president…
“The whole purpose of (the) Truth, Justice, Reconciliation Commission is to find a closure.”
Also in our show, hope for Kenyans who suffered abuse in the 1950s under British colonial rule…
“Our desire has always been to bring this to a speedy conclusion because of the age and the infirmity of the old men and women involved.”
Then, we go back to June 3rd, 1965 -- when an astronaut climbed out of his Gemini space vehicle and became the first American to walk in space…
“The flight director says ‘Get back in!’”
You probably do not know the name of that astronaut. Later in our show, we will tell you about him.
