chance to try to convince the judge as he is innocent, or at least deserves a retrial. the 72—year—old was convicted of being behind the slaughter of approximately eight thousand muslim men and boys in srebrenica. their bodies were dumped in mass graves. the graves are so extensive the bones are still being dug up the day. he was also found guilty of the 44 month siege of the bosnian capital, sarajevo, in which tens of thousands of civilians died ina tens of thousands of civilians died in a relentless campaign of bombing and shelling, plus taking un personnel hostage in an attempt to prevent nato from intervening in the bloody ball can conflict. the one—time psychiatrist spent years in hiding asa one—time psychiatrist spent years in hiding as a fugitive, at times disguised as a spiritual healer. radovan karadzic is the highest—ranking official ever to be

5:09 am
think tank localis, joins me now. good to see you. so, let's talk through the week. now, this has come to the fore again because of the house of lords defeat at the end of last week. that's right and that means because it was defeated in the lord's on staying in the customs union or not, there is going to be debate on thursday that there was also a speech today by the trade secretary liam fox, it is also going to bea secretary liam fox, it is also going to be a meeting of the cabinet where it is reported that people like david davis and, liam fox, will be pushing the prime minister to not adopt a hybrid idea of the customs union that she abdicated last year. the concern is that for those who are wishing to leave the european union that if we remain in the customs union, we cannot then negotiate our own trade deals with
5:10 am
other countries, that is the main argument. that seems to be the central fast. last year, argument. that seems to be the centralfast. last year, the uk agreed an arrangement that we could negotiate trade deals in parallel with the eu negotiations, which was a big win for the government and for the brexiteers. you have to negotiate trade internationally but you also have the issue of the irish border and that could bring the government down. we shall discuss it ina bit government down. we shall discuss it in a bit more detailed look at the news briefing because we have got this story in amongst the newspapers, you can imagine this is dominating today. see you shortly. this week across the bbc, we're bringing stories about how people are connecting in a polarised world — crossing divides. a poll for the bbc published today shows that europeans have a strong sense that their countries are getting more divided. in sweden, a significant majority — 73% of people surveyed — say their country is more divided now than 10 years ago. almost half, 49% say
5:11 am
the most tension exists between immigrants and the swedish—born population. sweden took in record numbers of asylum seekers at the height of the refugee crisis in 2015. it has since tightened its immigration rules, but how best to integrate those given the right to stay is a major debate. maddy savage reports from stockholm. it has been a long journey for this 21—year—old. he left syria in 2013 and was granted residency in sweden just last year. but getting to know locals has proved difficult his temporary accommodation. even though he's learning swedish, he is surrounded by other new arrivals. translation: i want to have friends
5:12 am
to practise swedish with. here the only people from eritrea, syria and iraq but from sweden, there is no want. he is part of a large syrian population in sweden, which took in more refugees per capita in 2015 than any other eu country. the nordic nation has since tightened its immigration rules but helping those given the right to stay remains a major political issue. questions about integration coincide with the rise in deadly violent that has grabbed headlines in the generally safe country. sweden does not record the ethnicity of criminals that rising numbers of shootings in hand grenade attacks have happened in suburbs with large immigrant population. we have spoken toa immigrant population. we have spoken to a lot of people here who say they think immigration is the reason sweep's become more divided, but many say they are too worried to share those views on camera. ——

5:14 am
has been benefiting a lot with all the integrations and of course, it ta kes the integrations and of course, it takes some time and this is a way to speed up the integration process. his swedish has already improved significantly since he joined the clu b significantly since he joined the club and that has helped to get an internship at a fast food chain. while there is a clear need to tackle integration on a wider national level and strong political divisions about how to do so, it is clear that local projects like this one are helping to put immigrants on the right track. stay with us on the briefing. still to some on the programme: napoli reignite the race for the italian title with a 90th minute winner against leaders, juventus. that and more in the sport briefing. stars and stripes at half—mast outside columbine high, the school sealed off, the bodies of the dead still inside.
