The American dream of US President
Bill Clinton has turned sour in the wake of personal scandal and unpopular policies.
The mid-term elections were a complete disasterforthe former
Arkansas Governor as Republicans swept into power in both the Senate and Congress on a wave of public disaffection with Clinton's Democrat administration. Havingentered the White House on a promise to bringa new openness to the Presidency, the beleaguered Clinton agreed to an exclusive interview with the doyen of American political correspondents, the veteran Walter Cronkite.
Clinton discusses his failures and his future in the light of apparent public rejection of his liberal agenda. Asking if the lesson of the mid-term voters' rebellion is that Americans cannot as a nation truly accept leftist politics, Cronkite wonders whether liberal reforms are doomed when both legislative houses are Republican strongholds. The pair also debate the influence of Capitol Hill's political upheavals on foreign policy, so often used by Presidents in difficulty as a vote-winning route to a "great escape"

A personal view by Major General Lewis MacKenzie, military strategist and Commander of UN forces for 30 years, who presents a cogent story of the bungling behind the failed UN peacekeeping missions to Somalia and former Yugoslavia. The former Commander in Chief of the Protection Force in Sarajevo offers the shocking analysis that the war in Bosnia was caused by arrogance, laziness and bad judgement by the United Nations.
In the first of a two-part documentary General MacKenzie, who resigned his command in order to speak out, offers an incisive insight into the reasons why the UN peacekeeping effort has gone so badly wrong as the international community faces the challenge of human tragedies throughout the globe. Yet despite his criticisms, he still believes there is time to build a more effective UN, provided the mistakes of places like Yugoslavia are corrected. See today's choices. Part 2 next Saturday

REMEMBER

One of a series of programmes transmitted this week to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz in January 1945.
This acclaimed film represents director/producer Claude Lanzmann 's monumental stand against the annihilation of memory. Entirely eschewing the use of archive film and photographs, Lanzmann records the voices and the faces of the witnesses to Europe's supreme atrocity - the Holocaust. The story begins with the return to Poland of Simon Srebnik - one of only two survivors of the 400,000 Jews taken to be gassed at Chelmno.

Shoah 9.00pm BBC2
Over a period of ten years, film-maker Claude Lanzmann scoured the world for witnesses of the Holocaust to tell their stories in this massive testament, being shown tonight and tomorrow. Shoah is the Hebrew word for annihilation, and in nearly nine hours of film Lanzmann records the details of the systematic ; annihilation of European Jews. The experience of the ghettos and the concentration camps is recalled by the survivors, the observers and even the perpetrators.
Shoah is part of BBC2's Remember season, which marks the 50th anniversary of the freeing of Auschwitz on 27 January 1945, Richard Dimbleby's recollection of the liberation of Belsen, first shown in 1965, is repeated on Monday, and Timewatch on Wednesday tells the story of three children of camp: survivors who reveal how the legacy of the Holocaust has affected their lives.

Shoah concludes tomorrow evening at 9.00pm.
