Day 251 - 17 May 96 - Page 03

     
     1        professional life, I have been working with Brazil both as
     2        an academic and as a journalist, and the areas that I have
     3        been particularly concerned about have been the Amazon,
     4        particularly social movements and environmental happenings
     5        in the Amazon which, of course, involves what happens in
     6        the rest of Brazil, because you can only understand what
     7        has been going on in the Amazon if you actually take into
     8        consideration the wider social, political and economic
     9        developments in Brazil.

    11   Q.   Sorry, I did not ask you, have you got any academic
    12        qualifications?
    13        A.  Yes, I did an Honours degree in Bristol University and
    14        then I did a Masters degree at Essex University in Latin
    15        American government before I went out to Brazil in 1970 to
    16        carry out research on a book on the Amazon and also to take
    17        up a position as Correspondent for The Financial Times.

    21        clarification -- sorry, yes.

    23   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Mr. Riley, could you get volume pale blue 1C,
    24        please, for Miss Branford?  Right at the very back should
    25        be your statement -- thank you, Mr. Riley -- in section L
    26        with a No. 11; it should be the very last statement?

    35        Mr. Big Mac" here, then there is "Confessions of a

    55
    56   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It may well be but I put them in there and
    57        that is where I thought they were.  It does not matter
