Appeal judges at the War Crimes Tribunal have reinstated the genocide charge against the former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic in his long running trial in the Hague. The ruling reverses an earlier decision. Anna Holligan was in court. "The prosecution claims that at a meeting, the highest authority within the Bosnian Serb leaderships was quoted as saying he wished to have a third of the population of Muslim and Croatian in Bosnia killed, a third converted to the Serb orthodox religion and a final third forced to leave of their own courts. This decision does not mean that Radovan Karadzic has been found guilty only that he will still face the charge of genocide in the seven municipalities, because the judges said the evidence could indicate that Radovan Karadzic did possess genocidal intent."

国际战争罪法庭上诉法官恢复了对波黑塞族前领导人拉多万·卡拉季奇(Radovan Karadzic)种族灭绝的控告,海牙国际法庭对他的审判已经持续了很长时间。该裁决推翻了此前的决定。Anna Holligan在法庭报道。“控方称,在一个会议上,波黑塞族最高领导人被引用说,他希望波斯尼亚三分之一的穆斯林和克罗地亚人被杀死,还有三分之一皈依塞族正统宗教,最后三分之一被迫离开自己的家园。该决定并不表示卡拉季奇被判有罪,只是表明他仍将面临在七个市区的种族灭绝罪,因为法官表示,证据表明,卡拉季奇确实有种族灭绝的意图。”

Public transport has been brought to a near standstill in several major Brazilian cities as a part of day of strikes called by the country's largest trade unions. Key ports and motorways across Brazil have been blocked by demonstrators and more marchers are expected in the coming hours. The BBC's Eric Camara reports. "Thursday's protests are quite different from last month mostly spontaneous demonstrations on issues that ranged from corruption to better public services and the cost of the next year's football World Cup. This one has been called by Brazil's largest trade unions with an agenda that includes land and pension reforms and a shorter working week. But if the number of public joined in as social media chatter seems to suggest the Brazilian government will be concerned that this protest may again escalate into wider public discontent."

巴西最大的工会呼吁举行了为期一天的罢工活动,几个主要城市的公共交通接近瘫痪。全国各地主要的港口和高速公路被示威者堵塞,预期未来几小时将出现更多游行者。BBC记者Eric Camara报道。“周四的抗议活动与上月大部分出于自发的示威活动截然不同。上月的示威主要是针对腐败问题,更好的公共服务和明年的世界杯足球比赛费用。这次的活动是由巴西最大的工会组织的。他们提出了包括土地,养老金改革和缩短每周工作时间在内的日程。但是,如果像社交媒体显示的那样参与活动的人数增加,巴西政府将会担心抗议活动可能会升级为更大范围的公众不满。”

American officials say they've found a DNA match thinking the man long suspected of being the Boston strangler to the last of his 11 murders in the 1960s. They say advances in DNA technology have produced a match between the suspected strangler Albert DeSalvo and genetic material found on a woman killed in 1964, Mary Sullivan. Her nephew, Casey Sherman said the discovery brought the family some comfort. "What these teams have found provides an incredible amount of closure to myself and my mother. We're not there yet. I think once the exhumation is done and there's a definitive answer, yes or no, but we're getting there. And it's amazing to me, today, to understand that people really did care about what happened to my aunt, a 19-year-old girl heinously murdered in 1964."

美国官员表示,他们在60年代遇害的第11名谋杀遇害者遗体中发现了与波士顿扼颈杀人狂嫌疑人相匹配的DNA。他们表示,先进的DNA技术发现嫌疑人艾伯特·德萨尔佛(Albert DeSalvo)的DNA和1964年遇害的女性Mary Sullivan尸首中发现的遗传物质吻合。她的侄子Casey Sherman表示,该发现让他的家人感到一丝欣慰。“警方的发现让我和我的母亲完成了多年的心愿。我们不再纠结了。一旦发掘工作完成,一定会有确定无疑的答案,但是我们已经有了答案。今天对我来说是非常重要的一天,因为我了解到,那么多人关心我的姨妈,那个在1964年被残忍杀害的19岁女孩。”

The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt has outlined to the BBC a strategy of trying to escalate protests against the army's ousting of the Islamist President Mohammed Morsi. A Brotherhood's spokesman, Gehad al-Haddad said the movement was planning three consecutive Fridays of large scale protests in Cairo. "We're going to keep protesting and keep organizing more cities. The call goes back to the rest of Egyptian people. They can either enjoy the short term luxury of feeling that they ousted president by the Shia power protests and by the military coup but that would end them in a military dictatorship, or understand the consequences of having a military as a political act back on the scene again and join up our cause to stand up the military." In the past week, more than 50 pro-Morsi protesters have been killed in clashes with the army and arrest warrants have been issued for senior Brotherhood figures.
