(17 Nov 1999) Voice and effects VOICED BY: Richard Vaughan Commemorating the 10th anniversary of then-Czechoslovakia's Velvet Revolution, former world leaders have been honoured in Prague for their efforts to topple communism across eastern Europe. Former U-S President George Bush received an honorary doctorate in philosophy from Prague's renowned Charles University for the key role he played in bringing down the Iron Curtain in 1989. VOICE-OVER: 0003 It's ten years since the fall of Communism in what was then Czechoslovakia. 0007 And what is now the Czech Republic has seen many changes since. 0011 But the transition has not been an easy one. 0014 SOUNDBITE: (English) "I think many people are disappointed because they desire to get rich easily and that's why they must be disappointed." SUPER CAPTION: Voxpop, Man 0024 SOUNDBITE: (English) "I think it's pretty sad that people are voting for the Communists. I definitely would never vote for Communists, so it's kind of sad. People don't realise that every change needs time and needs trying and hard work."
