First 'Bhopal' verdicts
A court in the Indian city of Bhopal has found eight senior executives guilty of negligence over a gas plant leak that killed thousands of people in 1984. The convicted are the first since the disaster at the Union Carbide plant - the world's worst industrial disaster. Campaigners for the victims say it's "too little, too late", says Peter Finnigan of The Bhopal Medical Appeal.

 

Uganda: 'No' to Sudanese President al-Bashir
Uganda has told Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir he is not welcome at next month's African Union summit in Kampala. Bashir is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes in Darfur. Sudan analyst Dr Richard Barltrop told us about the significance of Uganda's move.

 

Back to pencil and paper for Dutch voters
Dutch voters go the polls to elect a new parliament in just two days time. In a return to old-fashioned ways, they'll be using a red pencil to check a box on the ballot form, rather than pushing a computer button. Listen to our report here.
