:00:08. > :00:13.The former Bosnian Serb leader was responsible for some

:00:14. > :00:18.of the worst atrocities in Europe since the Second World War.

:00:19. > :00:20.His war crimes included the Srebenica massacre,

:00:21. > :00:23.when thousands of Muslim men and boys were marched away

:00:24. > :00:28.and killed during the ethnic conflict in Bosnia.

:00:29. > :00:32.Guilty of the following counts - count two, genocide...

:00:33. > :00:36.He was convicted of a total of ten war crimes by

:00:37. > :00:40.the International Criminal Tribunal sitting in The Hague.

:00:41. > :00:43.The verdicts follow a trial that began eight years ago.

:00:44. > :00:44.We'll have the latest from The Hague.

:00:45. > :00:49.More formal tributes to the victims of the Brussels bombings,

:00:50. > :00:51.but some parents are still waiting for information about missing

:00:52. > :01:07.fact, we demand, that the government allow these families into to see if

:01:08. > :01:09.our children are still alive. The former England and Sunderland

:01:10. > :01:12.footballer Adam Johnson is sentenced to six years for sexual activity

:01:13. > :01:14.with a teenage girl. And Johan Cruyff, one

:01:15. > :01:16.of the greatest footballers of all time, has died

:01:17. > :01:20.at the age of 68. And coming up in Sportsday

:01:21. > :01:22.on BBC News: Wales and Northern Ireland have

:01:23. > :01:24.played a friendly in Cardiff. Both sides have European glory

:01:25. > :01:27.on their minds after decades away The man who presided over some

:01:28. > :01:54.of the worst atrocities in Europe since the Second World War has been

:01:55. > :01:57.sentenced to 40 years in prison by the International

:01:58. > :02:00.Criminal Tribunal. The former Bosnian Serb leader

:02:01. > :02:03.Radovan Karadzic was found guilty of genocide and crimes

:02:04. > :02:07.against humanity. The judges decided that Karadzic

:02:08. > :02:11.was responsible for the massacre of up to 8,000 Muslim men and boys

:02:12. > :02:15.at Srebrenica in 1995. Karadzic - who's now 70 -

:02:16. > :02:18.was cleared of one charge The verdicts bring to an end a trial

:02:19. > :02:21.that started eight years ago. Our special correspondent,

:02:22. > :02:23.Allan Little, who reported on the war, was in court

:02:24. > :02:27.for the verdicts. It is the most symbolically

:02:28. > :02:32.charged international war crimes verdict in Europe

:02:33. > :02:34.since the Nuremberg trials Radovan Karadzic had presented

:02:35. > :02:39.himself throughout his trial as a man constantly

:02:40. > :02:45.striving for peace. In Sarajevo, the judge said,

:02:46. > :02:51.his forces, called the SRK, deliberately sniped

:02:52. > :02:54.at and bombarded civilians. They fired at children playing

:02:55. > :02:57.or cycling in the street. Karadzic knew about it

:02:58. > :03:02.and he bore individual criminal The chamber is

:03:03. > :03:07.convinced that the SRK conducted a campaign of sniping

:03:08. > :03:11.and shelling Sarajevo with the intention to,

:03:12. > :03:15.among other things, terrorise the civilian population

:03:16. > :03:20.living there. Elsewhere, hundreds of thousands

:03:21. > :03:22.of non-Serbs were forcibly expelled from their homes

:03:23. > :03:25.in a campaign to carve out Thousands of men were held

:03:26. > :03:30.in camps in deplorable There were mass murders,

:03:31. > :03:34.beatings, rapes. It was organised and systematic

:03:35. > :03:37.extermination, a crime In July 1995, his forces murdered

:03:38. > :03:46.8000 Bosnian Muslims at Srebonica. It was an attempt at ethnic

:03:47. > :03:52.elimination, the judge said. Radovan Karadzic agreed

:03:53. > :03:54.to the killings and, The accused shared

:03:55. > :03:59.the intent that every able-bodied Muslim male

:04:00. > :04:03.from Srebonica be killed, which, the chamber finds,

:04:04. > :04:07.amounts to the intent to destroy the Bosnian

:04:08. > :04:14.Muslims in Srebonica. Among the many victims

:04:15. > :04:16.of the Srebonica killings were the father, the

:04:17. > :04:18.mother and the younger He survived only because he worked

:04:19. > :04:24.as a translator for Dutch He was in court today

:04:25. > :04:28.to hear the verdict. The genocide ruling

:04:29. > :04:31.is important for the prevention of any potential future

:04:32. > :04:34.genocide in the region, It is the best way to prevent future

:04:35. > :04:40.genocides, to do international justice and have these

:04:41. > :04:44.kind of rulings. For the bereaved, who live

:04:45. > :04:47.their lives in the shadow of the crime, Karadzic's sentence

:04:48. > :04:49.did not seem commensurate There has been killing

:04:50. > :04:59.and I've been left all alone The former Foreign Secretary,

:05:00. > :05:08.Lord Owen, was the EU He negotiated with

:05:09. > :05:13.Karadzic for years. Karadzic rejected all his efforts

:05:14. > :05:18.to find a negotiated peace. Behind the veneer of

:05:19. > :05:21.sophistication, there was a man that was racist and was not

:05:22. > :05:27.prepared, really, to consider it possible that Muslims

:05:28. > :05:33.and Orthodox Christians could work He saw this in ethnic

:05:34. > :05:41.and in religious terms, 21 years after he

:05:42. > :05:50.was first indicted, Radovan Karadzic finally rose

:05:51. > :05:53.to face justice for what the judge Count five, murder,

:05:54. > :06:18.a crime against humanity... A quarter-century ago,

:06:19. > :06:21.he seemed beyond accountability, Tonight, he knows he is likely

:06:22. > :06:26.to spend the rest of his Allan Little is at

:06:27. > :06:42.the Hague for us now. You came face-to-face with Karadzic

:06:43. > :06:49.in the early 90s. What was your sense at that time of the nature of

:06:50. > :06:51.his ambition and plans? We got to know him quite well, especially in

:06:52. > :06:56.the early months of the war, when we would go and see him in the mountain

:06:57. > :07:00.headquarters in the hills above Sarajevo, and he would explain

:07:01. > :07:07.affably, in a friendly way, why it was necessary for non-Serbs and

:07:08. > :07:11.Serbs to be prosecuted. -- separated. He spoke about it as if

:07:12. > :07:16.it were normal. We knew, because we were reporting it every day, that it

:07:17. > :07:19.was being achieved through a state sponsored criminal enterprise

:07:20. > :07:23.involving atrocities. There seemed to be no connection between the

:07:24. > :07:27.reality is we were seeing and the way he characterised and described

:07:28. > :07:32.the war. I went to see him about a year into the war at a time when

:07:33. > :07:35.Lord Owen was trying to broker a peace settlement, and the Bosnian

:07:36. > :07:42.Serbs alone were holding out against it. Every other party had signed up

:07:43. > :07:46.or were about to sign up. I said to Rathfarnham -- I said to Radovan

:07:47. > :07:52.Karadzic, we were in his hotel room, I said, you might one day look back

:07:53. > :07:55.on this moment is the moment you might have chosen peace and instead

:07:56. > :08:00.you chose a continuation of war and embarked on a path that might one

:08:01. > :08:05.day lead to a prison cell in the day. Egypt is get back and laugh at

:08:06. > :08:09.what he saw as my naivete and dismissed it as implausible. It did

:08:10. > :08:16.back then seem like a naive dream, this idea of international justice.

:08:17. > :08:19.It doesn't seem naive to light. The memory, I think, is instructive, in

:08:20. > :08:25.the sense that it illustrates how far this process has come to

:08:26. > :08:29.international justice, that has been built in the years since the killing

:08:30. > :08:33.fields of Bosnia, how far that process has come in the

:08:34. > :08:37.establishment of these special courts and the permanent

:08:38. > :08:41.international criminal court. It was unthinkable 20 years ago that this

:08:42. > :08:42.could happen. Alan that at the Hague.

:08:43. > :08:44.Police in Belgium are continuing their search

:08:45. > :08:47.for those responsible for the bomb attacks in Brussels on Tuesday,

:08:48. > :08:50.The latest reports suggest that there may now be two

:08:51. > :08:53.suspects on the run, after the attacks on the main

:08:54. > :08:55.airport and the city's metro which so-called Islamic State

:08:56. > :08:59.Belgians have observed another minute of silence

:09:00. > :09:01.on the third day of national mourning,

:09:02. > :09:09.as our Europe correspondent Damian Grammaticas reports.

:09:10. > :09:16.Belgium's king led the national mourning today.

:09:17. > :09:19.Even as he did, the Prime Minister was being offered

:09:20. > :09:22.resignations by his ministers of interior and justice

:09:23. > :09:29.He refused them, but promised a full investigation.

:09:30. > :09:32.TRANSLATION: We cannot have impunity.

:09:33. > :09:35.The government will do absolutely everything it can to shed

:09:36. > :09:42.light on the attacks and everything that contributed to them.

:09:43. > :09:45.Belgium's leaders now face the twin challenges

:09:46. > :09:47.of guiding a nation which is still in mourning whilst also overseeing

:09:48. > :09:51.what is an ongoing investigation and dealing with the questions

:09:52. > :09:55.which arise - most of all, could more have

:09:56. > :09:59.been done to stop the men who did this before they carried

:10:00. > :10:05.At least one of the men had been linked since December

:10:06. > :10:09.to the Paris attacks and had had Europe-wide arrest warrants issued

:10:10. > :10:19.The first piece of new information concerns the metro

:10:20. > :10:21.attack, carried By Khalid el-Bakraoui.

:10:22. > :10:23.Now, police are believed to be looking for a second,

:10:24. > :10:26.unidentified man carrying a large bag, seen talking to him just before

:10:27. > :10:31.And there are more details about the airport attackers, too.

:10:32. > :10:35.The mystery man in the hat who ran away is still being hunted.

:10:36. > :10:37.The suicide bomber on the left may be

:10:38. > :10:41.Najim Laachraoui, who it is thought made the Paris bombs, too.

:10:42. > :10:43.And the other suicide bomber here was

:10:44. > :10:47.Ibrahim el-Bakraoui, a convicted armed robber.

:10:48. > :10:51.This was the aftermath five years ago of the raid in which he shot

:10:52. > :10:55.He served his time but broke his parole conditions

:10:56. > :11:00.Last June, Turkey arrested him on the Syrian border.

:11:01. > :11:04.Belgium was informed but did not ask for his return.

:11:05. > :11:10.The chance to jail him again was missed.

:11:11. > :11:12.TRANSLATION: I feel in the circumstances it was right

:11:13. > :11:17.The Prime Minister told me, in the current situation,

:11:18. > :11:24.in a war, you cannot leave the field.

:11:25. > :11:26.And the one man who could answer many

:11:27. > :11:31.questions, the Paris attacker Salah Abdeslam,

:11:32. > :11:33.now will not cooperate with Belgian police, according to his lawyer.

:11:34. > :11:36.He wants to go to France, that is where

:11:37. > :11:39.he wants to explain himself, he says.

:11:40. > :11:42.In the meantime, Belgians are left grasping for answers.

:11:43. > :11:47.Did it missed chances to prevent the atrocities?

:11:48. > :11:50.And what about the men still on the loose?

:11:51. > :11:58.More than 250 people were injured in Tuesday's attack,

:11:59. > :12:03.There are six British people among the survivors -

:12:04. > :12:08.One British man, David Dixon, is still missing.

:12:09. > :12:11.Our Europe correspondent, Lucy Williamson, has been speaking

:12:12. > :12:22.to one of those caught up in the bomb attack on the Metro.

:12:23. > :12:23.Among the first to hear Mark's story of survival,

:12:24. > :12:25.the Belgian king - how this British policy adviser

:12:26. > :12:29.station and into the blast from a suicide bomb.

:12:30. > :12:33.At his home in Brussels, Mark told me those few

:12:34. > :12:36.seconds of chaos left him with concussion, vertigo

:12:37. > :12:45.I remember shaking his hand goodbye as I stepped off the train

:12:46. > :12:50.and that is the last thing I remember.

:12:51. > :12:55.I have one static image of me crouching on some stairs,

:12:56. > :12:59.While he was being treated on the ground

:13:00. > :13:02.outside, he says rumours of a new threat began to sweep

:13:03. > :13:09.The bystander who was helping me said, get up, get up,

:13:10. > :13:17.So I got up with him and simply ran in the other direction.

:13:18. > :13:20.Other stories ended very differently.

:13:21. > :13:24.Dozens were killed or critically injured in the attacks.

:13:25. > :13:27.Sebastien Bellin is a former basketball player, caught

:13:28. > :13:32.He says his initial injuries helped him survive.

:13:33. > :13:35.I remember falling down and my hip exploding.

:13:36. > :13:41.Now I think about it over and over, I think that saved me,

:13:42. > :13:46.because I was already on the ground when the second one went off.

:13:47. > :13:48.At the military hospital here, soldiers

:13:49. > :13:52.direct victims and their families to specialist care.

:13:53. > :13:55.Roger came here today for a consultation on the shrapnel

:13:56. > :14:00.He was at the airport with his sister when the explosions happened.

:14:01. > :14:08.My sister cried, it's a bomb, and I said, run!

:14:09. > :14:11.She was on the floor and she said, I can't, I'm out of breath.

:14:12. > :14:18.Belgium's military hospital is starting to play a central role

:14:19. > :14:22.in the aftermath of the attacks, a place with experience

:14:23. > :14:25.of battlefield injuries and serious burns.

:14:26. > :14:29.A centre for the relatives has also been set up here.

:14:30. > :14:32.Many of them say they are frustrated at how difficult it is to

:14:33. > :14:36.get concrete information about the wounded.

:14:37. > :14:39.Several patients in intensive care have yet to be identified.

:14:40. > :14:41.Today, the family friends of one missing man demanded

:14:42. > :14:46.We are told that they are hard to recognise, they are bandaged,

:14:47. > :14:50.but we are confident that a parent, a mother and father,

:14:51. > :14:55.can identify if it is their son or daughter lying on the hospital bed.

:14:56. > :14:59.Three days on, many here are still waiting to know their loved ones'

:15:00. > :15:03.stories, unsure if they are tales of survival or death.

:15:04. > :15:11.As the authorities race to uncover more information about the Brussels

:15:12. > :15:15.attackers, attention has turned to the city suburbs where they lived

:15:16. > :15:20.Those same suburbs have been mentioned in connection

:15:21. > :15:24.with the 7/7 attacks in London, and the 9/11 attacks in New York.

:15:25. > :15:27.Our special correspondent, Fergal Keane, has spent the past few

:15:28. > :15:41.Belgium is a state in crisis and a crisis largely made at home. The

:15:42. > :15:50.story of the Brussels attacks is one of serial failures, in intelligence,

:15:51. > :15:54.and long before that, integration. In Molenbeek, where the ringleaders

:15:55. > :15:59.lived, this was the first market day since the attacks. And the Mayor

:16:00. > :16:03.from the centre-right Liberal Party told me the country was paying a

:16:04. > :16:09.high praise for failing to integrate its Moroccan community. They have

:16:10. > :16:14.difficulties, difficulties to find a job, difficulties to speak French,

:16:15. > :16:20.or Flemish, so they feel discriminated. The first influx of

:16:21. > :16:29.Moroccans was in the 1960s, invited by Belgium to fill gaps in the

:16:30. > :16:34.labour market. This man came to Molenbeek in 1967 and says

:16:35. > :16:38.employment helped him to feel he belonged.

:16:39. > :16:43.TRANSLATION: Listen, the work I did was for the Social Welfare Office.

:16:44. > :16:46.It meant that I was integrated, we helped the weak and homeless people.

:16:47. > :16:52.I have helped Belgian people to have a good life.

:16:53. > :16:58.For a new generation unemployment runs at 50% among under 25s. The

:16:59. > :17:02.attackers were people who came to extremism from lives of petty crime.

:17:03. > :17:08.Jihad offered a sense of belonging and an alibi for indulging in

:17:09. > :17:12.brutality. This student told me how the marginalised were recruited.

:17:13. > :17:18.They grew up in Swiss like this, they have Dutch rebel ideas, rebel

:17:19. > :17:27.personality, it's ended up ideas, you know, it is about education

:17:28. > :17:33.first. In the wake of the attacks there is a sense of crisis among

:17:34. > :17:36.Belgium's Muslims. There is the refrain familiar from other scenes

:17:37. > :17:42.of terror, the killers do not speak for Islam. Here at Brussel's main

:17:43. > :17:46.Islamic Centre, we found a spirit of frankness, the Imam said moderate

:17:47. > :17:52.clerics and the state needed to work together.

:17:53. > :17:56.TRANSLATION: We've got to get young Imams out there who can use social

:17:57. > :18:01.media to communicate with these young people.

:18:02. > :18:04.A lot of Imams aren't active on this issue of radicalisation. Where are

:18:05. > :18:09.the initiatives to reach out to young people? In Brussels, just as

:18:10. > :18:16.in London after 7/7, the talk is of forging a new relationship between

:18:17. > :18:19.Muslims and police. No more warnings ignored, solutions in better

:18:20. > :18:24.intelligence and community relations. This mother believes it

:18:25. > :18:28.is long overdue, she told me she warned police two of her sons were

:18:29. > :18:33.getting ready to fight in Syria in 2013 and that they failed to act.

:18:34. > :18:39.The boys went and are still fighting.

:18:40. > :18:44.TRANSLATION: We went to the authorities to ask for help because

:18:45. > :18:49.our first son was trying to go. We were told he'd done nothing wrong.

:18:50. > :18:56.It was not forbidden to travel to Syria to fight against Bashar.

:18:57. > :18:59.Everything was fine, they said. This woman grew up on the street

:19:00. > :19:03.where Salah Abdeslam was arrested just days before the Brussels

:19:04. > :19:09.attacks. Are you pessimistic about the future? I'm not pessimistic

:19:10. > :19:16.because I think that now the focus is on Molenbeek, on Brussels, on the

:19:17. > :19:21.politics and we have to use it for us, make things change and making me

:19:22. > :19:25.pessimist is not going to change anything, so let's stay positive,

:19:26. > :19:30.stay together, show acts of solidarity and move on together.

:19:31. > :19:34.This place has become notorious in the media as jihadi central, but

:19:35. > :19:38.Molenbeek is really much more complex than that. If there are

:19:39. > :19:43.going to be solutions to this crisis, they'll have to be found

:19:44. > :19:47.here. Among people who are just as frightened of IS as everybody else

:19:48. > :19:55.in Europe. Fergal Keane, BBC News, Molenbeek.

:19:56. > :19:58.We are getting reports of a major security operation in Paris. I'm

:19:59. > :20:01.seeing a statement from the French Interior Minister, Bernard

:20:02. > :20:07.Cazeneuve. He says the police have arrested a suspect in the Paris area

:20:08. > :20:14.who was in the advanced stages of a plot to stage an attack in France.

:20:15. > :20:20.The raid was in a neighbourhood north-west of Paris and he's calling

:20:21. > :20:24.it a major arrest. Then he goes on to say, "No tangible evidence yet

:20:25. > :20:26.linking the plot to either the attacks in Paris or Brussels." They

:20:27. > :20:29.are calling it a major arrest. Our Europe editor,

:20:30. > :20:37.Katya Adler, is in Brussels. What is clear now is the scale of

:20:38. > :20:40.the challenge not least when you consider Fergal's conversations

:20:41. > :20:43.there in Molenbeek, in Brussels, and the kinds of things that people are

:20:44. > :20:52.saying about the events of the past two days? Well, yes, that's right.

:20:53. > :20:56.Here, in Brussels, as you know, this central square is where people are

:20:57. > :21:05.coming to unite in their grief and anger about this week's attacks. On

:21:06. > :21:08.a wider level, Belgium is a divided country, politically, regionally,

:21:09. > :21:13.linguistically between German, Flemish and French speakers, so this

:21:14. > :21:16.means on a law-keeping level, on a criminal level, crime-fighting

:21:17. > :21:19.level, it is very divided as well with one branch often not

:21:20. > :21:25.communicating with the other, as it should. This is really a microcosm

:21:26. > :21:29.for the divisions inside the EU when it comes to fighting terror.

:21:30. > :21:33.Countries, Secret Services like to keep their secrets, they don't trust

:21:39. > :21:42.comes to politicians, they fight hard to get into government, they

:21:43. > :21:46.don't want to give up power to a bigger body, the EU in this case. At

:21:47. > :21:50.the very highest levels, EU leaders here in Brussels tell me they are

:21:51. > :21:54.very frustrated about that. They believe when it comes to fighting

:21:55. > :21:58.cross-border terror, the only way to do that is with cross-border

:24:47. > :24:50.girl's interests or welfare. After his arrest, Johnson told

:24:51. > :24:54.Sunderland he'd kissed the girl, His attitude to women

:24:55. > :25:00.was called deplorable. Today, a statement from his

:25:01. > :25:03.victim was read out. She said, "I have entered many dark

:25:04. > :25:06.places and at times I've just wanted to shut the whole world out,

:25:15. > :25:20.of online trolling, and revictimisation,

:25:21. > :25:24.if you like, of the victim. It is utterly unacceptable

:27:15. > :27:18.cells in the pancreas, which produce insulin, the hormone

:27:19. > :27:23.which regulates blood sugar levels. The injections contain protein

:27:24. > :27:26.fragments designed to retrain the immune system so that rather

:28:43. > :28:46.to my mind, is a result of this It will be a while before we know

:28:47. > :28:53.if immunotherapy really can slow the progression of diabetes

:29:06. > :29:13.one of the greatest players He was 68 and had been

:29:14. > :29:19.diagnosed with lung cancer. Comparing him with Pele

:29:20. > :29:21.and Maradona, Sir Bobby Charlton said that Johan Cruyff

:29:22. > :29:23.had changed the game - and his influence was

:29:24. > :29:30.still being felt today. Our sports editor, Dan Roan,

:29:31. > :29:31.looks back at his life. Johan Cruyff turned

:29:32. > :29:35.football on its head. A player so innovative,

:29:36. > :29:39.so influential, he even had a move But the Cruyff turn was only part

:29:40. > :29:43.of the legend, the Dutchman remembered as a sporting

:29:44. > :29:47.revolutionary. Having learned his skills

:29:48. > :29:49.on the streets of post-war Amsterdam, Cruyff joined local club

:29:50. > :29:53.Ajax, his outrageous talent helping them enjoy a period

:29:54. > :29:57.of unprecedented success. Six Dutch league titles

:30:16. > :30:22.sometimes is used a little bit You become great when you score

:30:23. > :30:31.a goal in a game, but there are one or two greats,

:30:32. > :30:34.there are one or two legends, Cruyff never won football's ultimate

:30:35. > :30:41.prize, but he was the pivotal figure in a Dutch team that lit

:30:42. > :30:45.up the 1974 World Cup. COMMENTARY: Cruyff has

:30:46. > :30:47.come very deep indeed. In the end, the Netherlands lost

:30:48. > :30:54.the final to West Germany but Cruyff and his team-mates will always be

:30:55. > :30:57.remembered as the ultimate expression of total football,

:31:01. > :31:04.energising a sport stuck Having been crowned European Player

:31:05. > :31:10.of the Year three times, Cruyff's thoughts turned

:31:18. > :31:22.and try to give a little of my experience to

:31:23. > :31:24.the younger players. As a coach Cruyff masterminded

:31:39. > :31:41.to even now. I was lucky enough to work for him

:31:42. > :31:44.at Barcelona for a year, He was the best player

:31:45. > :31:49.in training most of the time, even though he is way

:31:50. > :31:51.past his sell-by date He was an extraordinarily talented

:31:52. > :31:56.individual and also a great Cruyff was a free thinker,

:31:57. > :32:02.a heavy smoker until he gave up, going on to campaign for others

:32:03. > :32:05.to quit, too. Above all, he will be remembered

:32:06. > :32:08.for his style, his vision, his elegance, and his belief that
