BBC在线收听下载:尼加拉瓜废除社会保障改革引发动乱

Hello. I'm Debbie Ruse with the BBC news.

The former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic has started an appeal against ten counts of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity carried out during the Bosnian War in the 1990s. Anna Holligan is at the court and outlines the case against the Bosnian Serb leader. He is a politician, and it shows that these events, these mass atrocities didn't happen by chance. We've heard throughout this trail the phrase genocidal intent. This was part of a political plan designed to ethnically cleanse the Muslim population from parts of Bosnia that the Bosnian Serbs wanted to turn into a greater Serbian Republic. And it also matters because there is a symbolic value here, it shows that it's not just the people who are pulling the trigger who can eventually be held accountable.

A court in Brussels is expected to pronounce its verdict in a case involving Salah Abdeslam, the only surviving suspect in the 2015 Paris Islamist attacks. He and another man are accused of the attempted murder of Belgium police officers as they tried to arrest him. Gavin Lee has the details. Four months after the Paris attacks, the Belgium police thought they've found where Abdeslam was hiding, in a suburb called Forey here in Brussels. They went to the front door; they came under sustained arms fire. Three officers were injured. One terror suspect Mohamed Belkaid, an Algerian national said to have coordinated the Paris attacks was killed, two others fled via the rooftops, one of them Abdeslam, another man Sofiane Ayari, both men waiting for the verdict today, then face up to 20 years in prison if found guilty today.

The President of Nicaragua Daniel Ortega has scrapped the changes to social security despite five days of nationwide unrest. What we have done is revoke or cancel has already been put aside the previous resolution of April 16th, 2018, which shattered as a trigger that started this whole situation. Mr. Ortega said he hoped the decision would help restore order. Some opposition leaders are calling for him to resign over the violent repression of protestors. Nicaraguan human rights groups say at least 25 people have been killed since Wednesday. World news from the BBC.
