This is BBC World News. The top stories: In Moscow, they find a

Russian lawyer guilty of tax evasion four years after he died. Chinese

sue GlaxoSmithKline, allegedly for offering bribes to boost scales of

their drugs. And the EU bans cosmetic, tested on

animals. That poses a huge problem for Chinese manufactures.

We in South Africa on the 50th anniversary of a raid on the ANC

leadership, a pivotal moment in the Hello everyone. A court in Moscow

has convicted a Russian lawyer of tax evasion, even though he decide

in custody four years ago, before the trial started. Mr Magnitsky

found himself accuse of the crime he first investigated.

Mr Magnitsky worked as an auditor. The BBC's Steve berg in court when

the judge delivered the verdict. The judge took 80 minutes to read

the full verdict. Bringing to an end this bizarre trial. The conclusion

is that the two men who were on trial, William Browning and Mr

Magnitsky, the lawyer, were found guilty of tax fraud. Mr Browder was

sentenced to nine years in prison in absentia. Mr Magnitsky was given no

sentence since he died four years ago, but that is the bizarre outcome

of the trial. As you can see there is is a large crowd of journalists,

waiting for participants of the trial to come out. Possibly

expecting prosecutors to come out to speak to journalists, maybe,

possibly the judge, but still there is a lot of interest in what is

going on here it has been a really bizarre trial. Never before in

Soviet or Russian history has a dead man been put in the dock. So an

extremely unusual case. Well, a number of senior executives,

working for GlaxoSmithKline have been placed under criminal

investigation in China. That is for bribery and tax offences. They are

suspected of offering bribes to officials and doctors in an effort

to boost sales in the country. The BBC as John Sudworth is in Shanghai.

I asked him for the read-out of what is being said about the case.

The statement from China's Ministry of Public Security says that the

case involves many people. The duration of the offences date back a

long time. The amount of money involved is huge and the criminal

activities are malicious. So it looks like the Chinese authorities

are taking this seriously indeed. It is not the first we have heard of

this. We have known for some time that GlaxoSmithKline was facing some

kind of investigation but today's statement is the first official

confirmation of the exact nature of the allegations. They are, as you

say, basically, that representatives of the company here in China have

been trying to increase the amount of drugs that they were selling and

the prices that they were getting for the drugs, that they were

bribing people seemingly across the whole of the health service. The

statement says that the company was offering bribes to Chinese

government officials, medical associations, hospitals #57bd

doctors. Let me put to you, John what

GlaxoSmithKline said, "we monitor our businesses to ensure that at

they meet our strict procedures. We have done this in China and there is

no evidence of bribery of doctors or government officials, however if any

activity is seen, we shall be acting" We have heard similar

statements from GlaxoSmithKline over the past few days, as similar

allegations have appeared in newspaper reports. The suggestions

that the allegations have been taken to the board. GlaxoSmithKline said

it looked at them and looked at them thoroughly and found no evidence.

Let me take you back 50 years to South Africa it was under apartheid

that the police raided a meeting of the ANC's military wing A pivotal

moment for the antiapartheid movement. It all happened in a farm

on rif own -- in a form in -- on a farm in Rivonia. The police

photographs taken after a raid. They arrive at Liliesleaf in a

dry-cleaner's van. They jumped out of it when they entered the farm.

They made for this thatched roof room, where, as a police officer put

it later, they hit the jackpot. On the day of the raid we, the

leadership were meeting here to discuss Operation Mayibuye. The

military plan. There was unhappiness about the impact that the sabotage

campaign was having. They felt that they needed something harsher, to

strike into the fabric and the soul of the apartheid regimes.

Among those arrested, here in the main building, was Denis Goldberg,

an engineer learning how to make explosives.

In his pocket, were notes on how to make chemicals, he went to flush

them down the toilet but was caught doing so.

To become a first-time revolutionary it was very exciting. The adrenaline

was pumping every day. Suddenly, I suppose it is like a

rock star feels after the concert is over, absolutely flattened.

The South African Communist Party purchased Liliesleaf and offered it

to Liliesleaf -- to Nelson Mandela. It was as a safe house while he was

on the run. He used this room as a bedroom and office, while posing as

a servient called David. Although Nelson Mandela was in prison by the

time the raid took place, what was uncovered that day put him on trial

once again, together with his colleagues arrested here, all of

them facing a potential death sentence.

At the Rivonia trial, Nelson Mandela famously declared that had had no

choice but to resort to an armed struggle against the government that

ignored the grievances of its black majority. Today there is a steady

stream of visitors to the restored Liliesleaf farm, exploring the story

of a raid overshadowed of how a party was put to an end, but those

discovered and arrested here 50 years ago, speak of a raid as a

spark that lit the flame. Their mistake, they say, was in

coming here once too often. Now to a moment that will be

welcomed by animal lovers from around the world. From today no

cosmetics or skin care can be sold or makted in the European Union,

that has been tested on animals it is brewing legislation. 80% of the

world conducts animal testing. Especially China. In effect it means

that Chinese cosmetics manufactures will struggle to find a market in

Europe and European products are barred from the growing Chinese

market. I am joined by Nick Palmer, Director

of Policy for Cruelty Free International. They were the main

organisation campaigning for the ban. Nick Palmer, thank you. What

has achieved, secured the ban, do you believe? I think that there has

been a recognition of the strong public opinion on the issue. What

about the chemistry? That has made huge boroughs. We have got tonne the

point where for the great majority of potential risks in cosmetics it

is safer to test use using different methods. Ultimately you andry not

rabbits. The key issue is to test for humans. Testing for humans is

best done use using the nat methods that don't -- nalt methods that move

us into the 21st century. This reflects the fact that most

people in Europe and in other countries around the world feel that

they would rather that their cosmetics were tested in a humane

way and that they can feel comfortable... Do you have public

opinion that this is this, as opposed to science? It is both. The

science is there, and if the public opinion were not there, they would

not bother but the science has alternatives, and the public opinion

is overwhelmingly in favour of no longer testing the products on

animals. We have a change in Europe. We are starting to see it in other

countries around the world. I think that within ten years Cruelty Free

International will be ail to say that the great majority of countries

have ended these tests. In China, as I reported, this kind

of testing is required for products. China does change its position

radically if there is is a financial advantage. Do you believe that the

EU pressure and the EU decision will have impact in China? We are talking

to Chinese authorities. They are saying that they are willing to

issue -- change. They understand the issue. Their problem is that the

majority of Chinese testing laboratories don't yet have the

experience with the nalts for them to -- with the nats for them to

switch over but they are confident that they can get to that point in

five to six years. What we are saying to our supporters is to use

the products not sold in China, and in a few years' time you will be

able to use all the products. Dr Nick Palmer, thank you very much.

Well, would you like to sit down, otherwise your walk will bind me!

Now let me brick to you the news of the patter of tiny feet. We are

assuming that for some time we could hear from the Royal Family. It is

not far off it is the baby by the Duchess of Cambridge, the wife of

Prince Williams Expected to give birth at any time over the next few

days. We have joined the world's media outside of the hospital in

West London. Even before the first contractions,

they are waiting. Media from all over the world have

reserved their spots outside of the London Hospital where the Duchess of

Cambridge is due to give birth. There are so many photographers'

ladders, it looks like a DIY superstore. If you think this is

intrusive, it used to be worse. There was a time when Cabinet

ministers would attend a Royal Birth. The Duchess of Cambridge will

no doubt be relieved to hear that does not happen anymore.

But some Royal traditions continue. The birth will be announced, not on

Twitter or Facebook but on a notice at Buckingham Palace. It was the

same in 82 when Prince William was born. Outside of the palace we found

genuine excitement that it could be any day now.

It will be similar to the Andy Murray reaction. The country

ecstatic, really happy and cheering and good a good excuse for a party.

There has not been a Royal baby for so long. It is different it is good.

That feel-good factor could boost the economy. At this factory in

Stoke the comet rative mugs are almost ready to go. All they need

now is the baby's name. We will get the factory in

overdrive. Within three to four days there will be products coming out of

this factory with the baby's name If the new parents themselves need

anything, they may get it from their families. The Middleton's party

company sells these balloons and Prince Charles's Highgrove estates

sell cuddly Corgis. But what are they going to call the

baby? Victoria. Carole? And a boy? Charles!They

could have my name, Chris. It is is a good solid name. King Chris?How

does it sound? Go and have a word in there! Yeah!You heard it here

first. This is BBC World News, we will have

all of the details as they emerge in the coming days. Stay with us: 18

years after the Srebrenica massacre. The names of 4 #4u7bz

newly-identified victims are being buried. Police in Canada say the 30

missing in the train explosion are most likely dead. That brings the

peace and anger. A once peaceful place which is now searching

desperately for answers T main question - what caused a driverless

train to come hurtling across the hillside and explosion. A fire on

the train before the crash led to the main brakes being shut down, but

the disaster seems to rest on what an engineer did or didn't do

immediately after that fire was put out. A failure of the brakes - it is

very questionable whether the brake, the handbrakes were properly applied

on this train. As a matter of fact I will say they weren't. I don't any

employee remove removed brakes that were set. I think they failed to set

the brakes in the first place. arrival here of the rail company's

chief executive comes just a day after the police launched a criminal

inquiry into the disaster. Among the things detectives say they will be

looking for are signs of negligence. It is a criminal investigation. We

are investigating the crime scenes, we are making numerous encounters

with witnesses everywhere. We will pursue and we will not neglect any

evidence. Buildings that survived being blown apart when the oil

tankers exploded were in many cases caught up in the ensuing inferno. As

for the people inside those buildings at the time, officials

believe many will never be found. They put the death toll at 50. The

rail company's admission that a member of staff was at fault will at

least go some way to explain the tragic events of Saturday night to

this grieve-stricken community. Nonetheless, there are those who are

angry and are calling for the oil You are with BBC World News. I will

have the latest headlines for you. A Russian lawyer who died four years

ago has been found guilty of tax evasion in a trial described as

politically motivated. Chinese officials say executives of Glaxo

SmithKline are being investigating for bribes owing to bigger drugs

sells. The 11st European women's championships got off to a strange

start. Sweden missed two penalties against Denmark. Germany opened

their campaign to win a sixth successive title later this

Wednesday. Our correspondent is where the England team are based for

this tournament. What are the prospects then?

Well, I have to say watching the game last night, one of the most

striking things was the atmosphere. We had a huge storm last night. Then

the clouds went and everything dried up T England squad went to watch the

Sweden match here in the main square. The atmosphere was great.

Lots of people enjoying the moment. It was a draw, two penalty kicks

saved by the goalkeeper who was player of the match. That didn't

dampen the enthusiasm for this tournament. Even in the opening days

you can tell already, the host nation are enjoying it and you would

have to say one of the favourites, despite that early result. What

about the status now of women's football? Do you know, that is a

great question - this is the perfect place for the tournament to be

hosted because Sweden has a healthy network of women's football clubs. I

was here on a late winter's night training at a football club that had

500 of female members, girls from four upwards. A healthy league

system here. Other parts of Europe, particularly in the UK, it still can

be seen as a little unusual for women and gishls to play football.

That is deaf -- girls to play football. That is definitely

changing. Here it is second nature, that is why they are so good. You

mention Germany - one of the favourites - they are due to play

tonight. That will be a game to watch. Germany beat England in the

final last time, 6-2. That is a match I think the England team have

learned from. The coach, who was coaching then is the coach now. We

are in the England team hotel, in the grounds now, close to the

England camp. She says they are watching Germany closely and have

been watching them over the past few months to see how they are playing.

It is not the same team they had over the past decade. Lots of new

players have come in. Germany is seen as one of the favourites too.

Police are monitoring the movements of six protestors who are trying to

climb the tallest building in the European Union - it is the Shard on

the South Bank of the Thames in London. The group from the

organisation Greenpeace, say they are scaling the skyscraper to

demonstrate against plans by oil companies to drill in the Arctic. It

is thought they got on to the building without permission by

climbing on to the roof of a big train station next door. Today marks

the 18th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre. That is when

8,000 Bosnian men and boys were murdered by Bosnian Serb forces. It

took place over five days during the Bosnian war. The remains of 400

newly identified victims will be buried to mark the date.

18 years after the killings, the grief of relatives is still fresh.

409 victims of Srebrenica have recently been identified. It is only

now that families can say goodbye. TRANSLATION: I am here to bid

farewell to my father and brother. I found them after 20 years. The last

time I saw them was 20 years ago. The victims' coffins were

transported in a convoy of trucks back to the eastern Bosnian town. On

the streets of Sarajevo, thousands gathered to mourn. It was on July

11st, 1995, in the final stage of a vicious civil war that Serb troops

brushed aside Dutch peacekeepers s. Men and boy were killed. Their

bodies thrown into mass graves T UN called it the worst crime on

European soil since World War II. This year's anniversary sees newly

identified remains in identity coffins laid out in a warehouse,

close to a cemetery in Srebrenica, where they will be laid to rest.

Some of those paying their last respects count themselves lucky.

those people who did not find their loved ones, it is hardest for them.

At least for mine, my grandmother and others will have their graves

and plaques so I will know where they are. I know they existed.

Serbia has officially apologised for what happened. It cannot asage the

grief of those whose lives are overshadowed by Srebrenica.

Six Native American tribes in Virginia in the are campaigning to

get formal recognition. Something 5675 other tribes across -- 565

The Chickahominy tribe told us what gaining the status in America would

mean to them. To me, it is important that we give

our kids a sense of history of who their ancestors were and the

Britain still recognises the treaty between the tribes and the Crown and

the United States doesn't recognise the sovereignty of these indigenous

people who were here, who helped James town survive, it is past

ironic - it is absurd. My tribe is the Chickahominy tribe.

We have been told that... We are pretty big. 1,000 people makes us

the second largest in the State. It makes us eligible for programmes we

could apply for. It is could be documenting our history, an oral

history, things which will be lost. Federal recognition would certainly

help that. The racial act The Racial Act, it would seem there were no

Native Americans in Virginia. We are reeling from the consequences of

that simple statement made. I remember growing up. Would go to a

local joint, get a beer and have to drink it outside, where I would die

of thirst before I would do that. That was the realive we faced. Had

we been recognised by the Federal Government, even at that time, I

believe things would have been To me, these events are important to

all the tribes, particularly the Chickahominy. We have been doing our
