Rwanda's Foreign Minister denies supporting M23 rebels

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Rwanda's Foreign Minister says suggestions his country is training and funding the M23 rebel group in neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo are "laughable". Speaking to The World Tonight, Olivier Nduhungirehe claimed Rwanda was threatened by a build-up of forces on the Congolese side of the border, and suggested threats by Western nations to withhold aid from Rwanda over the violence are "blackmail". As AstraZeneca walks away from a deal worth £450 million to develop a flu vaccine manufacturing plant near Liverpool, we explain what went wrong. And the pianist in his 90s who spent the last four decades entertaining guests at a celebrated Glasgow nightclub, reflects on the club's closing.
