Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

We have an hour of international news and we will begin in the Hague.

Radovan Karadzic, the leader of the Bosnian Serbs

during the Yugoslav war, has been found guilty of genocide

for his part in the Srebrenica massacre.

The chamber hereby sentences you, Radovan Karadzic, to a single

sentence of 40 years of imprisonment.

We've got all the latest from Brussels.

I've been speaking to our security correspondent to find out

whether criticism of the Belgian authorities is fair.

Syrian forces are close to recapturing an area on the edge

The tributes are pouring in for Johann Cruyff.

There's no dispute he was the finest to ever play football.

Radovan Karadzic has been found guilty of genocide.

He was the leader of the Bosnian Serbs during the collapse

of Yugoslavia and is the most senior figure to face justice.

UN judges in the Hague found him guilty of 10 of 11 charges

That included genocide relating to the 1995 Srebrenica massacre.

He was also found guilty of war crimes during the siege of Sarajevo.

It is the most symbolically charged international war crimes verdict

in Europe since the Nuremberg trials after the Second World War.

Radovan Karadzic had presented himself throughout his trial

as a man constantly striving for peace.

In Sarajevo, the judge said, his forces, called the SRK,

deliberately sniped at and bombarded civilians.

They fired at children playing or cycling in

Radovan Karadzic knew about it and bore individual criminal

The chamber is convinced that the SRK conducted a campaign

of sniping and shelling of Sarajevo with the intention to,

among other things, terrorise the civilian

Elsewhere, hundreds of thousands of non-Serbs were forcibly expelled

from their homes in a campaign to carve out an ethnically pure

Thousands of men were held in camps in deplorable conditions.

There were mass murders, beatings, rapes.

It was organised and systematic extermination, a crime

In July 1995, his forces murdered 8000 Bosnian Muslims at Srebrenica.

It was an attempt at ethnic elimination, the judge said.

Karadzic agreed to the killings and for this he was guilty of genocide.

The accused shared the intent that every able-bodied Bosnian,

Muslim male from Srebrenica be killed, which the chamber finds

amounts to the intent to destroy the Bosnian Muslims

Among the many victims of the Srebrenica killings

were the father, the mother and younger brother of Hassan.

He survived only because he worked as a translator for Dutch UN

He was in court today to hear the verdict.

The genocide ruling is important for the prevention of any potential

future genocides and genocides in the region or in the world.

It is the best way to prevent future genocides, to do international

justice and have these kind of rulings.

For the bereaved who live their lives in the shadow

of the crime, Karadzic's sentence did not seem commensurate

TRANSLATION: I don't think anything, he has been rewarded.

There has been killing and I have been left all alone

21 years after he was first invited, Radovan Karadzic finally rose

to face justice for what the judge called the most grievous of crimes.

Count three, persecution and crimes against humanity.

Count four, extermination, a crime against humanity.

A quarter of a century ago he seemed beyond accountability,

Tonight he knows he is likely to spend the rest of his

Guy Delauney is the BBC's correspondent in Sarajevo.

Here he is describing the reaction is there to the verdicts.

I met the current president of Bosnia back here, and you have to

understand Bosnia has a tripartite presidency. Each of the major ethnic

groups, ethnic Bosnian Muslims, Serbs and Croats. He said this was a

great day as far as he was concerned for Bosnia, that justice had been

served. More importantly a message had been sent out, he thought, that

you could not hold all ethnic Serbs to account for these crimes. They

should not consider themselves to have a stigma over them any more.

Individuals have been held to account for what happened during the

conflict in Bosnia, for the shelling of Sarajevo and all the civilian

deaths that occurred here and people should no longer consider themselves

responsible because the real culprits have been brought to

account and sentenced. I spoke to a survivor of the Srebrenica massacre

who hid in the woods for more than 30 days to make his escape from that

massacre in which he lost many family members and friends. The

reaction was very positive, this is something they had been waiting for

for a long time. But everybody knows Bosnia is a country with a lot of

problems and there one verdict will not solve those.

If you want more background, you can find that online on BBC News.

Let's get you the latest on the Brussels attacks.

Police are still searching for this man on the right of the CCTV image,

taken at the airport that was attacked.

The man on the left died, he's not been identified.

And we now know the man in the centre is Brahim el-Bakraoui.

His brother Khalid was the metro bomber.

There are reports that a second person was involved in the metro

That man on the left of that CCTV footage has not been officially

identified but there are reports he is Najim Laachraoui.

His DNA was found on explosives linked to the Paris attacks.

And all of these men that I've mentioned are linked

to Salah Abdeslam a suspect in the Paris attacks

who was arrested last week in Brussels.

And he has changed his mind about fighting extradition to France.

His lawyer saying "he wishes to leave for France as soon

You can imagine the Belgian and French authorities will help him get

and the single issue that keeps coming up is co-operation.

You'll hear it arise in this Katya Adler interview with the EU

Commissioner for Migration and Home Affairs.

There is a shortage of trust between member states. So we must change

this attitude and be fully aligned to the policy we all adopt together

and of course to implement what has been decided. I know it is not easy

to change attitudes, to start thinking in a more European way, but

it is a must. If we do not do so, we shall be confronted with difficult

moments that we are having just there. Is the EU broken? It is not

pulling together over migration, it is not pulling together over

terrorism. It is not broken yet. But if some member states persist in

following a national policy it might put the European grouping at stake.

might put the European grouping at stake.

The director of the EU's police agency, Europol,

has told the BBC "the network of jihadists in Europe is more

extensive than perhaps we first feared".

I think we can describe that as an understatement.

I've been talking to the BBC's security correspondent Frank Gardner

about the criticism directed at the Belgian authorities

First of all, there is no room for complacency. There should be no

British smugness about one country being better than the other. We are

all targets. Britain got attacked in 2005 because of things that were

missed by the security service. Madrid has been attacked, Ankara has

been attacked continuously, so there is no room for complacency. But

Belgium has problems. It has got a police force with six different

forces with six different jurisdictions spread over 19

boroughs in Brussels alone. They speak French, blemish, German. And

you have got a population that is marginalised in the case of

Molenbeek. Many Belgians feel disenfranchised and marginalised and

excluded by the state and that is fertile ground for radicalisation.

All of that, coupled with easy access to automatic weapons that

come in from the Balkan states, make it very easy target and the Belgian

security forces have not been up to the job, they have not been

following things up as well they should do. Everything you are

describing our systemic problems, things that will take a long time to

fix. Meanwhile, there is one person on the run and they need to improve

the ability to track these people and stop them now. To be fair to the

Belgians, they did a good job of capturing Sally Abdeslam a week ago.

They caught him alive, which was a very effective operation. He wants

to be extradited to France. He is providing information, but he says

he did not know about these attacks and that is quite possible.

So-called Islamic State have compartmentalised themselves are one

part does not know what the other is up to. Europol and Rob Wainwright,

it is a very new organisation and it is 28 nations. Very few countries

will trust valuable intelligence to a big organisation where it will be

shipped between 28 countries. They share it bilaterally with one other

country because the value of intelligence diminishes once you

share it with other people. The brothers who died on Tuesday were

known to the authorities. What are the practicalities about tracking

someone closely, so closely do you know they are bringing this into

their flat? They had criminal records, but they were not known to

be terror suspects. They should have been known in retrospect and they

should have been better followed. In Britain a lot of the problem is

prioritisation. The police and security services know there are up

to 3000 people that they are aware of, they have their names, who are

sympathisers to so-called Islamic State. None of them have committed a

crime yet and they do not have the manpower to follow all of them.

Let's say you are worked at terror suspect and to put the team on new

watching you 24/7, that will take up to 15 people. People have to keep

changing teams, they have to rest and change and so on. It is highly

intensive and manpower intensive and they have not got the manpower.

Let's go live to Ben Brown in Brussels. It looks like there is

quite an atmosphere there. Yes, there really is. It is a place that

has become a focal point for the grief that the people of Belgium

fail and they have come here to mourn their dead. They had them in's

silence yesterday and today, but tonight they are singing. You can

see them waving flags from many nations around the world. That

singing is an affirmation of life. People here in Brussels say, we are

not going to be defeated by terrorism or cowed by terrorism.

Yes, we might be nervous and scared there may be more attacks ahead,

like the one on Tuesday, but we will continue with our lives. We are not

going to be stopped from travelling on the metro or going to the airport

or walking around the city and having a good time. They are not

going to let themselves be stopped by the terrorists. While that

singing continues, you can see the makeshift shrine that has grown up

in the last couple of days since the attacks. People have flocked here at

all times of the day and the night. They have lit candles for the dead.

A round of applause for the singers. They have been lighting candles for

the dead and laying flowers, and the flags from all the countries in the

world just underlining that this is a global response to what has

happened here and a global feeling of solidarity and sympathy with the

Belgian people. Can you help me understand where we have got to with

the investigation in the metro attack? Is there a suggestion there

was a second bomb or just a second person involved in the operation?

There is a suggestion there was a second man seen with Khalid, the

brother of Brahim el-Bakraoui, who was the airport bomber. There was a

suggestion that there was a CCTV image of a man with Khalid carrying

some sort of case. It is not clear whether he died in the attack or

whether he escaped afterwards. The indications we are getting is that

the police believe he may have escaped. He would have escaped and

one of the three airport attackers would have escaped and there might

have been five in all, three of whom died and two of whom escaped and

they are on the large -- at large and on the run. That causes problems

for the security services who believe they might be able to carry

out more attacks. If they are on the run, what form is the hunt for them

taking? Interestingly, the security alert level here has been lowered.

It was at maximum four following the attacks on Tuesday. It has gone down

to level three. In terms of the hunt, they have drafted more

officers into Brussels. 500 extra army troops have been drafted in and

the police and continues for these men. As you are hearing from Frank

Gardner, the manpower of the security forces here is limited.

They have had a very high level of security and alerts on the Paris

attacks in November, where they have been searching for men linked to

those attacks. There is not much more that they can do, but we have

seen raids ever since the attacks on Tuesday. We have seen helicopters in

the sky buzzing over certain areas of the city, so the hunt and the

investigation are continuing at full throttle. That is Ben in Brussels.

And we'll have more later about this man -

He's considered one of the greatest footballers ever.

they had met with resistance from inside the city. We do not know the

extent of that resistance, whether Islamic State fighters have been

able to push back in certain areas or simply to delay the advance of

the Syrian army into the city, it is still unclear.

Why isn't #NationalPuppyDay everyday?

An artificial intelligence account made by Microsoft.

On their website they say Tay is designed to engage and entertain

people and is targeted at 18-24-year-olds in the US.

It made racist remarks, declared 9/11 an inside job

and compared the US President to a monkey, eventually coming out

with tweets, "Chill I'm a nice person.

Tay went from "humans are super cool" to full Nazi in less than 24

hours and I'm not at all concerned about the future of AI.

Our technology correspondent Jane Wakefield told me

It is a chat bot, so it is a computer programme which uses

artificial intelligence to simulate conversation. It has learned a whole

lot of stuff and has been given an anonymous data to start with, but it

is also learning from people on Twitter. It is not a ringing

endorsement of the standard of the conversation on twitter? It is a bit

surprising that Microsoft did not think that this might happen. If you

put something out there, it will always end up saying something rude.

It proved it was very easy to do and they got it to say all kinds of

things which have been an embarrassment for Microsoft. I doubt

this was the outcome they were looking for. What was the outcome?

It was a project to see if they could get a chat bot to have normal

conversation. It was meant to be a teenager type artificial

intelligence and it was hoping it would learn information. It has

learned a lot, but perhaps not quite what they wanted to learn. What is

the practical use of something like this? What do we gain? We all have

assistance on our smartphones that we can talk to and ask things about.

That use of artificial intelligence is one of the most practical we will

have on our mobile phones, but it is limited. The more companies like

Microsoft can go out there and put out chat bots, it will be able to

find ways to improve on the smartphone assistance. I did hear it

said it was taking a break and I wonder if Microsoft intervened. I

think they thought enough was enough. You can search for Tate
