UK PM Burnham Rules Out Slavery Reparations but Is Open to Apology

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has ruled out slavery reparations (compensation for past wrongs) but said he is open to Britain apologising for its role in the slave trade. Burnham proposed debt-reset talks, meaning reworking what smaller Commonwealth nations owe. Former St Vincent and the Grenadines PM Ralph Gonsalves said debt relief and aid cannot replace reparations.
