On air: 5 November 2009 15:30

More about:

Newsline 5 November, 2009: The UN pulls hundreds of its staff out of Afghanistan over security fears; victims of the Trafigura toxic waste case may not receive their promised compensation and we hear about Bulgaria's Communist-era computer industry.

UN withdraws staff from Afghanistan amid security fears
The UN has announced it is pulling hundreds of staff out of Afghanistan in response to last week's bombing of a guest house that left five people dead. But our correspondent Bette Dam says other international organisations are unlikely to follow suit.

Trafigura victims may not see compensation

Lawyers for the victims of the Trafigura toxic waste scandal say their clients may never see the 30 million euros promised in compensation because of corruption in the Ivory Coast government. Listen to an interview with Martyn Day.

Bulgaria's Communist-era computer trade

As part of a series on the fall of Communism in Europe 20 years ago, we travel to Bulgaria to find out more about the country's once-thriving computer industry. Listen to a report by Nik Martin.
