It was the worst atrocity in Europe since World War Two -

:00:18.:00:24.

8,000 Muslim men and boys were killed.

:00:25.:00:29.

I have been left all alone without anyone in this world.

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:27.:01:53.

It has taken 21 years but today Radovan Karadzic has been found

:01:54.:01:57.

guilty of genocide and other war crimes for his role

:01:58.:02:00.

Karadzic, who was arrested in 2008 after 13 years on the run,

:02:01.:02:06.

The verdict at the international tribunal in The Hague found him

:02:07.:02:12.

responsible for the Srebrenica massacre in which some 8,000 Muslim

:02:13.:02:15.

men and boys were rounded up and shot.

:02:16.:02:19.

Our special correspondent, Allan Little, reported on the war

:02:20.:02:21.

All rise. It is the most symbolically charged

:02:22.:02:37.

international war crimes verdict in Europe since the Nuremberg trials.

:02:38.:02:42.

Radovan Karadzic presented himself as a man striving for peace

:02:43.:02:47.

throughout his trial. The evidence was overwhelming. In Sarajevo, the

:02:48.:02:53.

judge said, his forces, called the SRK, sniped at and bombarded

:02:54.:02:57.

civilians, they fired at children playing or cycling in the street,

:02:58.:03:02.

thousands died, Karadzic knew about it and bore individual criminal

:03:03.:03:06.

responsibility for it. The Chamber is convinced that the SRK conducted

:03:07.:03:12.

a campaign of sniping and shelling of Sarajevo with the intention to,

:03:13.:03:17.

among other things, terrorise the civilian population living there.

:03:18.:03:23.

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

:03:24.:03:27.

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

:03:28.:03:31.

state. Thousands of men were held in camps in deplorable conditions,

:03:32.:03:34.

there were mass murders, beatings, rapes. It was organised and

:03:35.:03:38.

systematic extermination, a crime against humanity, the judge said. In

:03:39.:03:46.

July 1995, his forces murdered 8,000 Bosnian Muslims at Srebrenica. It

:03:47.:03:50.

was an attempt at ethnic elimination, the judge said.

:03:51.:03:51.

was an attempt at ethnic Karadzic agreed to the killings and

:03:52.:03:57.

for this, he was guilty of genocide. The accused shared the intent that

:03:58.:04:02.

every able-bodied Bosnian Muslim male from Srebrenica be killed,

:04:03.:04:08.

which, the Chamber finds, amounts to the intent to destroy the Bosnian

:04:09.:04:14.

Muslims in Srebrenica as such. Among the many victims of the Srebrenica

:04:15.:04:20.

killings were the father, the mother and the younger brother of this man.

:04:21.:04:27.

He survived because he worked as a translator. He was in court today to

:04:28.:04:32.

hear the verdict. The ruling is important for the prevention of any

:04:33.:04:36.

future potential genocide in the region, or in the world. It is the

:04:37.:04:42.

best way to prevent future genocide, to do international justice, have

:04:43.:04:49.

this kind of ruling. For the bereaved, Karadzic's sentence did

:04:50.:04:53.

not seem commensurate with their loss.

:04:54.:04:56.

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

:04:57.:05:01.

killing and I have been left all alone without anyone in this world.

:05:02.:05:08.

I'm speechless. Mr Karadzic, could you please

:05:09.:05:10.

stand... 21 years after he was indicted,

:05:11.:05:18.

Radovan Karadzic rose to face justice. Guilty of the following

:05:19.:05:29.

counts: Count two, genocide. Count three, persecution, a crime against

:05:30.:05:35.

humanity. Count four, extermination, a crime against humanity. Count

:05:36.:05:46.

five, murder... A century ago, he seemed beyond responsibility.

:05:47.:05:54.

Tonight, he is to spend the rest of his life in prison.

:05:55.:05:56.

Did you ever think this day would come? No, I didn't. Neither did he.

:05:57.:06:06.

We got to know him quite well back then, especially in that first year

:06:07.:06:10.

of war, he was friendly, we could see the atrocities his troops were

:06:11.:06:14.

committing on the ground and yet his version of events, his account of

:06:15.:06:17.

the war bore no relation to that reality at all. I went to see him

:06:18.:06:23.

when the war was a year old when he rejected the latest peace plan and

:06:24.:06:28.

all other parties accepted it. I said to him, don't you think there

:06:29.:06:31.

will come a day when you look back at this moment and see it as a

:06:32.:06:34.

moment that you had a chance to choose peace and become an architect

:06:35.:06:39.

of reconciliation and you chose a continuation of war, and a path that

:06:40.:06:43.

might lead you to a prison cell in The Hague? He tipped his head back,

:06:44.:06:48.

he laughed very politely, and dismissed my idea as naive and

:06:49.:06:52.

implausible. The idea of international justice was a naive

:06:53.:06:56.

fantasy back then. It is not a naive fantasy now and it is an instructive

stepped out of the Metro at Maelbeek station and into the blast

Mark told me that those few seconds of chaos had left him

:10:49.:10:50.

with concussion, vertigo I was travelling with a friend,

:10:51.:10:54.

so I remember shaking his hand goodbye as I stepped off the train,

who was helping me said, "Get up, get up, run,

they're telling us to run." So, I got up with him and simply ran

:11:25.:11:28.

in the other direction. Other stories ended

:11:29.:11:34.

very differently. Dozens were critically injured

in the attacks and other lives ended there in the station, or by the

airport's baggage machines. This man says his initial injuries

:11:43.:11:53.

helped him survive. I remember falling down and my hip exploding. I

:11:54.:11:59.

heard a second explosion and now I'm starting to think about it, I think

:12:00.:12:02.

that is what saved me because I was on the ground when the second

explosion went off. At the military hospital here,

also been set up here. Many of them say they are frustrated

at how difficult it is to get concrete information

:12:47.:12:50.

about the wounded. Several patients in intensive care

:12:51.:12:54.

have yet to be identified. Today, the family friends of one

:12:55.:12:57.

missing man demanded access to them. We are told that they are hard

:12:58.:13:01.

to recognise, they are bandaged, but we are confident that a parent,

:13:02.:13:05.

a mother and a father, can identify if it is their son or

:13:06.:13:08.

daughter lying on that hospital bed. Three days on, many here are still

:13:09.:13:14.

waiting to know their loved ones' stories, unsure if their tales

silent. Judge Jonathan Rose told him, this girl was scared,

intimidated, called a liar. The girl now suffers night terrors. She

cannot sleep. You had a gift for football, but embarked on a

:14:44.:14:51.

compulsive drive for sex. From England footballer, to child

:14:52.:14:55.

sex offender, the court heard Johnson used his fame to abuse the

:14:56.:15:00.

15-year-old girl. She was besotted with him. Prosecutors said it was

:15:01.:15:05.

classic grooming. Adam Johnson exploited a young star-struck fan,

:15:06.:15:10.

grooming her over a period of months in a single-minded pursuit of his

:15:11.:15:15.

own sexual gratification. Today, a statement from Adam Johnson's

:15:16.:15:17.

15-year-old victim was read out in court. She said:

:15:18.:15:33.

The court also heard her suffering was made worse by social media,

:15:34.:15:39.

campaign groups, all supporting Adam Johnson. You have got the secondary

:15:40.:15:46.

trauma of online trawling, and re-victimisation if you like the

:15:47.:15:51.

victim. It is utterly unacceptable. Tonight, Adam Johnson left court, as

:15:52.:15:55.

he arrived, with chaos, to begin his six-year sentence. In his own words,

:15:56.:16:00.

an arrogant footballer who thought he could do what he wanted.

most celebrated footballers, dies of cancer.

Coming up in Sportsday on BBC News - a new home for Formula 1.

It won't be shown on terrestrial TV from 2019.

:16:35.:16:47.

There is new hope for people with type 1 diabetes -

:16:48.:16:49.

a disease with life-changing effects for those unfortunate enough

:16:50.:16:52.

Trials of a new treatment have begun in London.

:16:53.:16:56.

The condition affects 400,000 people in the UK,

:16:57.:16:59.

Unlike type 2 diabetes, it is not linked to lifestyle,

:17:00.:17:06.

but caused by the immune system destroying the cells

:17:07.:17:09.

Our medical correspondent, Fergus Walsh, has had exclusive

:17:10.:17:14.

access to the trial at Guy's Hospital in London.

:17:15.:17:19.

Checking blood sugar levels is vital with type 1 diabetes.

:17:20.:17:23.

Natalie has to calibrate how much insulin she needs

:17:24.:17:26.

She is part of a pioneering trial of an immunotherapy

:17:27.:17:33.

treatment developed at the Biomedical Research Centre

:17:34.:17:35.

This is the first of six injections she will get in the coming months.

:17:36.:17:44.

I really hope it controls my diabetes and slows the regression,

:17:45.:17:47.

so that I can live a bit more of a normal life,

:17:48.:17:50.

like a normal person would without diabetes.

:17:51.:17:53.

Type 1 diabetes is caused when the immune

:17:54.:17:55.

system mistakenly attacks specialist beta cells in the pancreas,

:17:56.:17:59.

which produce insulin, the hormone which

:18:00.:18:01.

The injections contain protein fragments

:18:02.:18:08.

designed to retrain the immune system so that rather than attacking

:18:09.:18:21.

In cancer, it is being used to boost our natural defences

:18:22.:18:25.

so that they can recognise and attack tumour cells.

:18:26.:18:29.

While in conditions like multiple sclerosis, allergies and now type 1

:18:30.:18:32.

diabetes, the aim is to reset the immune system so that it doesn't

:18:33.:18:37.

The immunologist leading the trial says,

:18:38.:18:43.

if this approach works, the benefits to patients

:18:44.:18:47.

If we get in with this therapy early enough,

:18:48.:18:52.

we protect the beta cells that remain in those patients.

:18:53.:18:54.

That means they continue to make their own insulin,

:18:55.:18:57.

and we know that that gives them better control

:18:58.:18:59.

Better control of blood glucose means that their risk

:19:00.:19:09.

of future complications of diabetes is reduced.

:19:10.:19:15.

Those complications can include kidney, eye and heart disease.

:19:16.:19:18.

Jack was part of an immunotherapy trial last year.

:19:19.:19:21.

Although he still has to inject insulin,

:19:22.:19:25.

he is confident it helped him.

:19:26.:19:26.

My blood glucose control has been really

:19:27.:19:30.

tight, and a large part of that, to my mind, is a result of this

:19:31.:19:35.

It will be awhile before we know if immunotherapy

:19:36.:19:37.

really can slow the progression of diabetes in people

:19:38.:19:40.

If it does, it will be tested in young children before the disease

:19:41.:19:44.

takes hold, with the goal of preventing them ever

:19:45.:19:48.

The funeral has been held in Londonderry for five members

:19:49.:20:09.

-- for three children and two adults who drowned on Sunday when their car

:20:10.:20:22.

slipped off a pier. A baby girl was rescued after the accident in

Buncrana. The bodies of a man and woman found

:20:25.:20:27.

by rescuers have now been confirmed as the two climbers who went missing

:20:28.:20:31.

on Ben Nevis in February. Tim Newton and Rachel Slater

:20:32.:20:34.

from Bradford failed to return from the mountain, and hazardous

:20:35.:20:36.

weather hampered initial efforts Years after legislation was passed

:20:37.:20:38.

in Britain to help disabled people with their daily lives,

:20:39.:20:43.

many still find they are at a disadvantage when it comes

:20:44.:20:45.

to the simplest activities. That is the conclusion of a report

:20:46.:20:48.

from the House of Lords today. It accuses the Government

:20:49.:20:51.

of treating disabled people Our disability news

:20:52.:20:53.

correspondent Nikki Fox reports. Came here last time and could not

:20:54.:21:09.

get up steps, obviously being in a wheelchair. Tom was paralysed after

being assured in Afghanistan wheelchair. Tom was paralysed after

:21:13.:21:15.

years ago. Just getting around his local town centre can be difficult,

:21:16.:21:20.

often impossible. There is a restaurants which has a flight of

:21:21.:21:25.

stairs down. Obviously, able-bodied people just walk down it. I cannot

:21:26.:21:31.

get down it at all. I would have to basically go down on my bomb. It is

:21:32.:21:36.

not ideal at all. Access problems like Tom's are happening far too

:21:37.:21:40.

often. That is according to a damning report out today by the

:21:41.:21:43.

House of Lords to it does not just look at access. It highlights the

:21:44.:21:47.

fact that disabled people are being let down in every area of life,

:21:48.:21:51.

whether that be in education, housing or transport. Over 150

:21:52.:21:56.

disabled people and organisations have contributed to this report. It

:21:57.:22:02.

is huge. In short, it clearly state that the Equality Act, designed to

:22:03.:22:05.

protect disabled people from discrimination, just is not working.

:22:06.:22:12.

This criticism follows two weeks of pressure on government over its

:22:13.:22:16.

policies when it comes to disabled people, after it was forced to make

:22:17.:22:19.

a U-turn over cuts to disability and effects. I do not accept that as a

:22:20.:22:24.

government we are failing in any way. -- disability benefits. We are

the meantime, this restaurant owner is at least listening to ways he can

make a difference. He was one of the greatest

footballers in the world. Johan Cruyff, the legendary

:23:13.:23:16.

Dutch striker and coach, He died surrounded by friends

:23:17.:23:19.

and family in Barcelona. Three times Johan Cruyff was voted

Europe's best player. Our sports editor, Dan Roan,

looks back at his life, Cruyff! He left him for dead! Johann

Cruyff turned football on its head. He was so influential, he even

turn was only part of the legend. The Dutchman is remembered as a

:23:53.:23:57.

sporting revolutionary. He learned his skills on the streets of

:23:58.:24:01.

Amsterdam. He joined local club Ajax, and helped them enjoy a period

:24:02.:24:07.

of unprecedented success, including six Dutch league titles and the

:24:08.:24:12.

European Cup three times in a row. Sold for a world-record fee to

:24:13.:24:16.

underperforming Spanish giants Barcelona in 1973, Cruyff guided the

club to the domestic title for the first time in more than a decade.

:24:23.:24:26.

The Nou Camp was a fitting stage for his artistry. The word great,

legend, sometimes is used a little bit loosely. Sometimes even

flippantly these days. You become great when you score a goal in a

:24:36.:24:40.

game. But there are one or two greats, one or two legends, and

:24:41.:24:44.

Johann Cruyff was one of those. Cruyff never won football's ultimate

:24:45.:24:50.

prize but he was the dominant figure in a Dutch team which lit up the

:24:51.:24:59.

1974 World Cup. In the end, the Netherlands lost the final two West

:25:00.:25:03.

Germany. But Cruyff and his team-mates will always be remembered

:25:04.:25:07.

as the ultimate expression of total football, an attacking tactic where

:25:08.:25:14.

players constantly switch positions. Having been crowned European Player

:25:15.:25:17.

of the Year three times, Cruyff for the thoughts turned to the future.

What I would like to do, 15 years looking after things, winning,

teach and give a little of my experience to the younger players.

As a coach, he was no less inspirational, masterminding league

:25:38.:25:40.

titles and a European trophy at Ajax before leading Barcelona to four

:25:41.:25:44.

league championships and their first European Cup in 1992. He was the

:25:45.:25:49.

best player in training most of the time, even though he was well past

his sell by date in terms of playing. He was an extraordinarily

:25:54.:25:58.

talented individual and also a great visionary on the game. Cruyff was a

:25:59.:26:02.

freethinker, heavy smoker until he gave up, going on to campaign for

others to quit as well. He will be remembered for his style, his vision

:26:08.:26:11.

and his elegance and the belief that football must be played with the

brain as well as the feet, a belief which has formed part of every great

changing. This is a typical scene from today. Grey skies, outbreaks of

rain and some strong winds at times as well. All down to this frontal

system, edging southwards and eastwards across the country. More

low pressure systems to come from the Atlantic. Overnight tonight,

still outbreaks of rain across southern and eastern parts of

England. Elsewhere, with clearing skies, colder conditions coming in.

Many places waking up to a touch of frost for Good Friday. Through the

Into the early hours of Saturday, the next front comes into western

Northern Ireland and Scotland, a little bit quieter on Saturday. It

heavy rain. It could lead to some travel disruption. On Easter Sunday,

More wind and rain, particularly for England and Wales. Perhaps a bit
