 are the Congolese (ph)? I cannot be blamed for the problems of Congo or any other country. There are -- the Congolese, who have their own country, who are supposed to manage it, who are supposed to govern it. It has nothing to do with me.
AMANPOUR: Let me ask you a final question about Laurent Nkunda. He had been armed by you. He had been, you know, an ally of yours for a long time. And then last year, he was arrested, and you agreed to that. Why?
KAGAME: Well, first of all, again, it's building on falsehood that is paraded by people, I don't know from where.
AMANPOUR: So you deny that?
KAGAME: About what? The issue of being allies with Nkunda is not there. Nkunda is Congolese. They had issues with their own system. And what we did ourselves later on, because we interested in a peace in Congo, because it results into peace for Rwanda (ph), we worked with the government to really target those specific issues that needed to be addressed, and that is pacifying the eastern Congo and making sure that we don't have (inaudible) crossing our border and killing our people (inaudible) former genociders who were involved in the genocide in Rwanda.
Now, when the government agreed to work with us, to address our security concerns, as well as, by the way, security concerns for themselves, of course, were also affecting the Congolese, we went ahead and dealt with them.
AMANPOUR: Let me ask you...
KAGAME: But Nkunda is a Congolese problem. He's not our problem.
AMANPOUR: Let me ask -- let me ask a final question. The elections, which are scheduled for August, will they be the last elections that President Kagame contests?
KAGAME: Well, we are going to have elections coming in August, and there is a constitution in place. Rwanda has a constitution. And I have respect for the law and for the constitution. So let's wait and you judge me when it comes to that point, when you don't need to see me there (ph), and probably won't see me (ph).
AMANPOUR: Thank you very much, indeed, for joining us.
AMANPOUR: It was nice to have you.
AMANPOUR: And earlier you saw some clips from the documentary "Scream Bloody Murder: A History of Genocide." You can watch the entire film on our Web site at amanpour.com.
But next, our "Post-Script," where we will tell you more about one of the secrets of Rwanda's economic success.
As we mentioned earlier, Rwanda is one of Africa's economic success stories. One powerful reason is the involvement of its women, in the workforce and also in politics. The genocide had altered the country's population dramatically because many of the men were killed in 1994, and afterwards, women made up 70 percent of the population.
And today, the Rwandan parliament is only parliament in the world where women are the majority. It's 56 percent female. And many social commentators say that you can measure the health of any society by the health and the empowerment of its women. Many of Rwanda's succeeding businesses are led by women, as well, so Rwanda is a good example of how women's empowerment does contribute to the success of a nation.
And that's it for now. We'll be back tomorrow with an exclusive interview with Ai Weiwei, China's best-known artist, blogger, and critic of the government. Until then, check out our podcast on amanpour.com/podcast. For all of us here, goodbye now from New York.ok i lied you can kinda manage both snipers and crossbows theoretically in the build department:

at level 30 at least. you'd start with 5/6/7/3/10/3/6 and up per to 11, agi to 10, int to 7 then dex to 7. we take increased int to help with our technicals, and the fact that were dumping an entire 160 points in crossbows. b/c of that we're still able to craft the bs, use the op psi and explore the map just fine. idk crossbow feats check out the underrail FAQ on steam for that (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=843557165)More than 300 Los Angeles Police Department officers and family members packed a City Council meeting Tuesday to demand across-the-board pay increases, warning the department will lose officers if one isn't provided.
Nearly a month after officers rejected a one-year contract offer, officials with the Police Protective League told the Los Angeles Times the LAPD's starting salary has fallen behind pay for officers in at least 13 other Southern California law enforcement agencies. LAPD officers have already begun heading to other departments, union leaders told the council.
"Our officers are not without alternatives," said league President Tyler Izen, whose union represents around 9,900 officers. "Experienced and well-trained officers are desired by police and sheriff's departments throughout Southern California."
Mayor Eric Garcetti and council members have been trying to hold the line on raises across the city workforce as part of a larger strategy to limit the growth of pension costs and erase a spending deficit by 2018. The city budget's yearly contribution for the retirement benefits of police and firefighters is expected to quadruple to $710 million in 2016 from $175 million in 2005, according to a report submitted to the council in April. Each increase consumes money that could be used to pay for basic services.
The contract rejected by officers three weeks ago would have hiked the pay of nearly 1,000 officers who were hired since 2009 with a salary 20% lower than their counterparts. The deal also would have increased the amount of cash overtime paid to officers this year to $70 million, up from $15 million last year. And it would have boosted the starting salary of officers to $57,420 a year from $49,924.
Even with that increase, starting pay would remain below pay at police agencies in Santa Monica, Simi Valley and other cities, according to league officials.I’m a casting assistant for the show DON’T FORGET THE LYRICS!

Diana bounced lightly on her toes at the starting line, her calves taut as bowstrings, her mother’s words reverberating in her ears. A noisy crowd had gathered for the wrestling matches and javelin throws that would mark the start of the Nemeseian Games, but the real event was the footrace, and now the stands were buzzing with word that the queen’s daughter had entered the competition.
Amazons lined the path that led out of the arena, already stamping their feet and chanting for the games to begin. On Diana’s right, Rani flashed her a radiant smile. “Good luck today.” She was always kind, always gracious, and, of course, always victorious.
To Diana’s left, Thyra snorted and shook her head. “She’s going to need it.” Diana ignored her. She’d been looking forward to this race for weeks— a trek across the island to retrieve one of the red flags hung beneath the great dome in Bana‐ Mighdall. In a flat‐ out sprint, she didn’t have a chance. She still hadn’t come into the fullness of her Amazon strength. You will in time, her mother had promised. But her mother promised a lot of things.
This race was different. It required strategy, and Diana was ready. She’d been training in secret, running sprints with Maeve, and plotting a route that had rougher terrain but was definitely a straighter shot to the western tip of the island. She’d even— well, she hadn’t exactly spied.... She’d gathered intelligence on the other Amazons in the race. She was still the smallest, and of course the youngest, but she’d shot up in the last year, and she was nearly as tall as Thyra now.
I don’t need luck, she told herself. I have a plan. She glanced down the row of Amazons gathered at the starting line like troops read
