what he told the court was poison. given and he was about to go to prison for what would probably be the rest of his life the judge confirmed to twenty year prison sentence and this. i am not a war criminal i oppose this conviction. stop place police adult confusion at first and then an attempt to move on to other business responsible but as the judge was dealing with the next case calls from within the court. the convicted military chief said he had taken action i have taken poison gradually his claim is repeated until it lays it on the potential gravity of the situation sinks in and caught a fish oils move to halt the proceedings and take him for medical attention ok.

we spend the. spring please the curtains. a couple from v.w. correspondent to go get matterson brussels welcomed the hearing. the after the session was suspended it was then moved on to a different room and the reason for that is that this courtroom has now been declared a criminal a crime scene that may be an indication for the media reports we have seen that the serb leader has the best bosnian croat leader rather has actually died according to interviews with relatives now i called the court but they declined to confirm that media these unconfirmed media reports instead they have said that they are about to issue a statement in the very near future now this is not the first time something this

dramatic has occurred in the course as it. it is of course usually damaging that seeing that this was the last day after twenty five years in operation for this court that something dramatic like that happens in front of rolling cameras that is unique but you're right in the history of this court there were two cases where defendants committed suicide by hanging themselves in their cells according to the tribunal's documents and that was in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight and in two thousand and six and you say this is the last set of cases this tribunal is dealing with before it's term expires what has been the legacy of this last twenty five years of these hearings. and now this tribunal dealt with the worst crimes in half a century that europe has seen and the legacy really is the main it's been a huge leap forward regarding international international criminal law it

has paved the way for the international court of justice which is now a permanent institution and so that is something from a legal aspect here that it's cherished for it has also shed more light on this terrible brutal part of history of the bosnian war at the same time a number of relatives have criticized that it has taken twenty five years a quarter of a century to bring a verdict for four or four of these four for some terrible perpetrators and some terrible war crimes that have taken place gratis in brussels thank you. now u.s. president donald trump says the united states well handle the latest ballistic missile test by north korea he promised to impose additional sanctions on pyongyang but he's also called on china to use all available levers to influence north korea for its part china has voiced grave concern and called for talks to resolve the

issue claims its latest test launches a new type of missile some experts believe it's capable of hitting the united states mainland. north korea terrarium finitely claims it has become a global nuclear power after a lot of over two months it has fired another intercontinental ballistic missile this one flew much higher than previous ones before landing in the sea of japan. state media announced the news in a special broadcast it said the launch was a complete success and that the new missile represented a giant leap forward so i don't know don't let me talk to the judge and while pyongyang claims this brings the whole u.s. mainland within its reach a direct challenge to president donald trump but this time his reaction was more muted than before after meeting with his secretary of defense trump refrained this

time from issuing threats. you know what we tell you to take care of it we have a general notion of home with us and i don't want discussion about it. it is a situation that we will handle. north korea's immediate neighbor was less restrained within minutes south korea responded by firing missiles into the sea to demonstrate its ability to strike pyongyang's launch sites the south korean president said the international community had no choice but to continue applying pressure and sanctions against the north. you know. just an action does not only increase tension on the korean peninsula but gravely endangered is international peace and security and we strongly condemn north korea's reckless behavior can you . seoul has warned the situation could spiral out of control the united

nations security council will hold an emergency meeting to discuss the situation. more on this from aden foster carter he's an honorary senior research fellow in sociology and modern korea leeds university in the united kingdom welcome to day w a president trump said on the twitter that additional major sanctions will be imposed on north korea is that what we need now. no not really in my view i mean no doubt they are merited north korea has been breaking international law that the silent nuclear test for a decade now oh but we're piling on the sanctions the sticks are in place what we don't have is the carrots or any kind of a diplomatic process i do think that it will need to come to talks and china for sure is of that opinion so sanctions alone no not in the us so there is a meeting then an emergency meeting of the u.n.

what options do they have. very little i mean this is her whole groundhog day aspect of this is that we seem to go through the same size motions over and over again and there is a certain impotence i mean the there will doubtless be a condom nature a resolution the sanctions that president trump professed to presumably you know after all american ones i will have to see what comes up that but there is there is a sense of great. but also of impotence that we know so far absent a diplomatic track no one has found a way to stop north korea particularly under its latest leader kim jong un from forging ahead with this very dangerous weapons so a given that given that we go through this cycle time and time again missile recrimination than the next missile should we not just now say north korea is a nuclear weapon state and take it from there. in my view that is the

reality. i think that facts are facts it doesn't help to them i them on the other hand i understand the reasons why many people will state that just don't want to there is supposed to be a known perforation treaty north korea did sign it of course there are other nuclear sort of known recognized states in the world like israel india pakistan all with much more powerful nuclear arsenals but they never pretended such space and never joined the n.p.t. in the first place well scripted and left so it is seen from a sort of you know kantian universalistic point of view it would be seen as a very grave blow to the global anti-nuke the effort to recognize this but facts are facts and i don't think there's any going back so somehow this conundrum will have to be faced hidden fausta carter thank you so much thank you. now just take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world about this international airport has reopened after wind blew away volcanic ash and smoke
