Nelson Mandela: First ever TV interview with anti-apartheid leader discovered

This is believed to be South Africas late anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandelas first ever television appearance. The footage is believed to have dated from 1956. The Nelson Mandela Foundation, an NGO dedicated to Mandelas memory, said in a statement that the 24-second interview was probably taken in 1956 during the Treason Trial, which ended in 1961 with the acquittal of Mandela and dozens of others on charges of treason. Mandela, who died in 2013 aged 95, became South Africas first black president in 1994.

The baby still hasnt been named, so the zoo have released a poll of five Chinese names, letting the public vote for their favourite. The three names with the top votes will go to the panda keepers, who will make the final decision. It is believed that fewer than 2,000 pandas remain in the wild. Baby P is particularly special as panda births in captivity are extremely rare. Austria and Spain are the only other European countries where they have been born. Sep 2, 2016
