This is BBC World News Today, with me, James Menendez. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Radovan Karadzic is found guilty of genocide and crimes | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
against humanity, during the Bosnia war of the 1990s. | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
A UN tribunal sentences the former Bosnian Serb leader | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
The Chamber hereby sentences you, Radovan Karadzic, to a single | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
sentence of 40 - four zero - years of imprisonment. | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
Salah Abdeslam, the Paris attacks suspect captured in Brussels, | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
says he will no longer fight extradition to France. | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
Also coming up, we celebrate the astonishing skills of Dutch | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
footballing genius Johan Cruyff, who has died at the age of 68. | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
And we look at why the Pope is more popular than any political | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
Guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity - | :00:57. | :01:16. | |
the verdict on the former Bosnian Serb leader | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
Radovan Karadzic, who was today sentenced to 40 years in prison | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
by the international tribunal in the Hague. | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
The genocide was the massacre of thousands of Muslim men and boys | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
at Srebrenica - a deliberate policy of extermination, | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
And among the other war crimes, the murderous siege of Sarajevo that | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
Allan Little covered the Bosnian War extensively for the BBC | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
and was at the Hague to hear the verdict. | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
It is the most symbolically-charged war crimes verdict in Europe | :01:48. | :01:58. | |
since the Nuremberg Trials after World War II. | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
Radovan Karadzic had presented himself through the trial as a man | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
In Sarajevo, the judge said, his forces, called the SRK, | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
deliberately sniped at and bombarded civilians. | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
They fired at children playing in the street. | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
Karadzic knew about it and bore individual criminal | :02:17. | :02:25. | |
The chamber is convinced that the SRK conducted a campaign | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
of sniping and shelling inside Sarajevo with intention to, | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
among other things, terrorise the civilian population there. | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
Elsewhere, hundreds of thousands of non-Serbs were forcibly | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
expelled from their homes in a campaign cleansing to carve out | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
Thousands of men were held in camps in deplorable conditions. | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
There were mass murders, beatings, rapes. | :02:55. | :02:55. | |
It was organised and systematic extermination. | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
A crime against humanity, the judge said. | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
In July 1995, his forces murdered 8,000 Bosnian Muslims. | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
It was an attempt, the judge said, at | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
Karadzic agreed to the killings and, for this, he was guilty of genocide. | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
The accused shared the intent that every able-bodied | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
Bosnian Muslim male be killed, which the chamber finds amounts | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
to the intent to destroy Bosnian Muslims there, as such. | :03:25. | :03:36. | |
Among the many victims of those killings were the father, | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
the mother and the younger brother of Hassan. | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
He survived only because he worked as a translator for the Dutch | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
He was in court today to hear the verdict. | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
The genocide ruling is important for the | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
prevention of any potential future genocide. | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
Either in that region or in the world. | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
It is the best way to prevent future genocide, | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
through international justice and to have | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
For the bereaved, who live their lives in the shadow | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
of the crime, the sentence did not seem appropriate to their loss. | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
TRANSLATION: I do not think anything. | :04:15. | :04:16. | |
There has been killing and I have been left alone | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
without anyone in this world. I am speechless. | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
21 years after he was first indicted, Radovan Karadzic finally | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
Count five, murder, a crime against humanity. | :04:34. | :05:02. | |
Quarter of a century ago, he seemed above | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
accountability, acting with impunity. | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
Tonight, he knows he is likely to spend | :05:07. | :05:15. | |
Earlier, I spoke to Alan Little, who is still in The Hague, | :05:16. | :05:26. | |
analyst who lives in Belgrade. What has the reaction been near? So far, | :05:27. | :05:50. | |
there has been no official reaction. The only reaction we have here is | :05:51. | :06:00. | |
from people. There has been to rallies in the city, one against the | :06:01. | :06:17. | |
verdict and one in favour of it. We await government reaction tomorrow. | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
How much more nationalist sentiment support is therefore Radovan | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
Karadzic? There are two kinds of support. There is the focal one, we | :06:31. | :06:45. | |
have thousands of people came out on the street, but also the quieter | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
one, which I believe is the position of the Serbian government. The Prime | :06:50. | :07:00. | |
Minister was in support of Radovan Karadzic when he was arrested eight | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
years ago. There has been no official reaction yet. Not yet. Some | :07:07. | :07:16. | |
people are saying that the failure to issue any statement as a quiet | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
measure of support for Radovan Karadzic. The end of the war was | :07:23. | :07:34. | |
also marked to the? Yes, this marks the start of the Needle bombing | :07:35. | :07:46. | |
which ended the Kosovo war. We had the big commemoration, together with | :07:47. | :08:00. | |
representations from other regions and the reaction from the Prime | :08:01. | :08:11. | |
Minister was, whatever the reaction or alleviate it will be, it will not | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
undermine the Republic of CRB. The UN's Special Envoy | :08:14. | :08:29. | |
for Syria Staffan de Mistura says there is common ground | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
between the Syrian Government and the opposition at | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
peace talks in Geneva. He was speaking as the process goes | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
into a scheduled recess. Mr de Mistura said there had been no | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
walk-outs and no breakdowns at this He said he hoped that | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
when the indirect talks resume in April, the sides would begin | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
to tackle the difficult question The main Syrian opposition group | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
said the ground had been prepared for that discussion, but it urged | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
Russia to use its leverage The two sides are deeply | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
divided on the future of the Syrian President | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
Bashar al-Assad. It is a case clearly interfered for | :08:59. | :09:18. | |
90 days. What has been achieved that is, I believe, nothing. It has been | :09:19. | :09:29. | |
an exercise in showing off political and military power, which is | :09:30. | :09:45. | |
shameful. This is regrettable. However, the people in general want | :09:46. | :09:57. | |
to have some sort of level of each so that they are not viewed as being | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
dependent on them. For the very latest note on the | :10:02. | :10:18. | |
attacks in bail jumper, we can no join Ben Barone. In the centre of | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
the city, you can see people coming here to express their grief and | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
anger. You can see the display behind me. | :10:27. | :10:39. | |
Police in Belgium are still piecing together the evidence | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
There are reports that there may now be two suspects on the run. | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
EU ministers have been meeting in the city for emergency security | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
talks amidst some criticism of intelligence agencies in Belgium. | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
This has added to this year from some people that there could be | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
other attacks, but we have held that the threat level has been lowered. | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
The state broadcaster is saying that Salah Abdeslam who was wanted in | :11:08. | :11:15. | |
connection with the attacks in France and is in custody at the | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
moment, they are seen he is no longer planning -- was planning a | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
powerless stale attack with other accomplices. That is the claim from | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
the state broadcaster. Taylor and served with silence. Even | :11:32. | :11:57. | |
today, in this day of mourning, the Prime Minister was being offered | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
resignations. He refused but promised a full investigation. The | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
government will do absolutely everything it can to shed light on | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
the attacks and everything which may have contributed to them. There's a | :12:14. | :12:23. | |
twin challenge. The country is still in mourning, but he has to also | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
oversee an ongoing investigation. Most of all, could more have been | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
done to stop the men who did this carrying out the deadly attacks? At | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
least one of the men had been linked to the attacks had the Europe | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
weighed arrest warrant out on him. The first piece of new information | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
contains the attack in the metro station. Police are noticing the | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
other looking for a second unidentified man carrying a large | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
bank since speaking to him just before the blast. They are still | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
searching one of the airport attackers. They have identified one | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
of the other attackers, one on the left, who the bill me the bombs | :13:17. | :13:24. | |
which were used in friends. This was the aftermath five years ago in a | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
raid in which he shot a policeman in the leg. He served prison time, but | :13:31. | :13:38. | |
brokers brought conditions to travel to the Middle East. Turkey | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
brokers brought conditions to travel well-informed that he had been | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
detained at the border, but the Belgian government decided to take | :13:48. | :13:49. | |
no further action. I Belgian government decided to take | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
resignation. The Prime Minister has refused. The one man who couldn't | :13:55. | :14:04. | |
answer many questions, Salah Abdeslam, will not cooperate with | :14:05. | :14:06. | |
the police, according to his lawyer. Abdeslam, will not cooperate with | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
He wants to go to France, Abdeslam, will not cooperate with | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
will explain himself, he says. In Abdeslam, will not cooperate with | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
the meantime, Abdeslam, will not cooperate with | :14:18. | :14:17. | |
have been done to prevent Abdeslam, will not cooperate with | :14:18. | :14:25. | |
atrocities and put him in still at large straight again? | :14:26. | :14:35. | |
Here, interior ministers from the European Union have been meeting in | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
emergency session to try and talk about ways to respond to what | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
emergency session to try and talk happened here. They want to improve | :14:47. | :14:48. | |
cooperation between the various European intelligence agencies and | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
police forces of the European Union states and whether they need to do | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
more to tighten borders. In terms of the interior minister and the | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
justice minister here, they have admitted that mistakes were made by | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
the security forces in the run-up to both the attacks in France and | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
Belgium. They both offer to resign, but the resignations were rejected | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
by the Prime Minister. The death toll still stands at 31, but some 60 | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
are still in intensive care in a hospital. There has been warnings | :15:31. | :15:41. | |
that the death number could rise. Among the first to hear Marks story | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
of survival was the Belgian king. Among the first to hear Marks story | :15:44. | :15:54. | |
his home in Brussels, he said that few seconds of chaos had left him | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
with concussion, vertical and memory loss. I remember shaking the hand of | :15:59. | :16:06. | |
a friend to say goodbye and that is the last thing I can remember. I | :16:07. | :16:16. | |
have one static image of me coaching on some Steelers covered in dust. | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
While being treated on the ground who say, he said rumours of a new | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
threat began to sweep through the injured commuters. A bystander was | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
helping me and said, get up and run. I got up with them and simply ran in | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
the other direction. Other stories ended very differently. Dozens were | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
killed or injured in the attacks. Sebastien is a former basketball | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
player who was caught in the explosion at the airport. He said | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
his initial injury is actually helped him survive. My hip exploded. | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
I was knocked down to the ground. I think that is what saved me when the | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
second explosion went off. At the military hospital, people are | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
directed to specialist care. Roger came free consultation for the | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
shrapnel wound in his arm. He was at the airport with his sister Wendy | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
explosion happened. Both of them survived. We have the explosion at | :17:26. | :17:34. | |
his sister said, it is a home, run. I comfort. The military hospital are | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
starting to play a central role in the aftermath of the attacks. They | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
have experience of battlefield injuries. A centre for the relatives | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
has also been set up here. Many people see the frustrated about how | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
has also been set up here. Many difficult it is to get concrete | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
information about those wounded. Several of those in intensive care | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
and still to be identified and a family of one demanded access to | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
them. We are confident that the pavement, mother or father, could | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
identify if it is the Child. Three days on, many people here are still | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
waiting to know their loved one story, unsure if they are tales of | :18:26. | :18:35. | |
survival or death. People are still coming out to honour the dead until | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
late candles, as you can see. Many of them young people and children, | :18:40. | :18:47. | |
carrying flags of many different nations, showing international | :18:48. | :18:54. | |
solidarity with the victims. Although the terror threat level has | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
been lowered here, people are still nervous here, what a deal could be | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
more attacks, especially as the news came out that the police could still | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
be looking for two suspects who emerged alive from the attacks and | :19:09. | :19:10. | |
could still be on the run. It has been said that there | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
was football before and football after Johan Cruyff, | :19:18. | :19:19. | |
the great Dutch player and coach, He had been suffering | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
from lung cancer. His impact on the beautiful | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
game was, well, some say Three consecutive | :19:26. | :19:27. | |
European Cups with Ajax as a player, one with | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
Barcelona as a manager. Johan Cruyff Tournament football | :19:32. | :19:33. | |
owners head. He was remembered as a Johan Cruyff Tournament football | :19:34. | :20:00. | |
sporting revelation. Having levelled his skill on the streets of postwar | :20:01. | :20:10. | |
Amsterdam. He joined his local club. He enjoyed six titles with Ajax a | :20:11. | :20:19. | |
lead them to three European cup titles in a row. He joined Barcelona | :20:20. | :20:27. | |
in 1973. He guided them to the first domestic title in over a decade. The | :20:28. | :20:36. | |
word legend is sometimes used a bit loosely and sometimes even | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
flippantly. You become great when you score the odd goal, but there | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
are two legends and Johan Cruyff was certainly one of those. He never won | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
the ultimate prize, but he was part of the team which lit up the 1974 | :20:57. | :21:05. | |
World Cup. In the end, they lost the final two West Germany 2-1. But they | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
were always remembered as the ultimate expression of total | :21:11. | :21:19. | |
football. The changed a sport stuck in defensive mindset. Having ended | :21:20. | :21:27. | |
his career as a player, he turned to the future. After spending many | :21:28. | :21:36. | |
years running, I want to know teach and give my ability on to younger | :21:37. | :21:46. | |
people. He led Barcelona to four league championships in their first | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
European cup in 1992. He was the best player in training, even though | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
he was past his sell by date is in terms of being a player. He was | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
extraordinarily talented. He was also a great visionary. He was a | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
heavy smoker during much of its life, but went on to campaign | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
against it in later life. But he will be remembered for his elegance. | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
He believed that football had to be played with the brain as well as the | :22:19. | :22:20. | |
feet. Pope Francis has washed the feet | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
of refugees at a shelter near Rome, to mark the start of the Catholic | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
Church's Easter celebrations. The ritual included 11 people | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
from seven countries - and were from Christian, | :22:33. | :22:34. | |
Hindu and Muslim backgrounds. The Pope said it was a "fraternal" | :22:35. | :22:36. | |
gesture, designed to contrast with Tuesday's attacks in Brussels, | :22:37. | :22:38. | |
which he called a "gesture of war" committed by people who "do not | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
want to live in peace". Pope Francis is more popular | :22:42. | :22:49. | |
than any political world leader, The poll put him 11% clear | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
of his closest rival, Here is a quick look | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
behind the numbers. to 40 years in prison | :22:56. | :23:58. | |
after being found guilty of genocide We can now get some further | :23:59. | :24:13. | |
reaction. What has been the further political reaction? I make the | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
placement of boys sneer at a banquet. Each of the major ethnic | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
groups have part of the presidency. banquet. Each of the major ethnic | :24:28. | :24:35. | |
He said it was a great day as far as he was | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
said that justice had been served. He said a message had been served | :24:41. | :24:57. | |
said that justice had been served. guilty of what happened. People | :24:58. | :25:05. | |
should no longer consider themselves responsible, because the real | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
culprits have been brought to account and sentenced. Has that been | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
the general sentiment amongst the people in Bosnia? Certainly, I spoke | :25:16. | :25:26. | |
to a survivor of one of the massacres who hid in the forest for | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
more than a month to make his escape. The reaction has been | :25:31. | :25:38. | |
positive. They have been waiting for this verdict for a long time. | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
Everyone knows that Bosnia as a country with a lot of problems. | :25:43. | :25:57. | |
Thank you for joining us. That was the reaction, 40 years in prison for | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
the former leader. That is up from me. | :26:02. | :26:14. | |
Good evening. The dry spell has come to an end. The weather over the | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
Easter weekend is set to be a lot more changeable. | :26:22. | :26:23. |
