In a major sign of improving relations, President Obama and his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev have reached an outline agreement on reducing nuclear weapons at talks in Moscow. Each side will cut its arsenal to below 1,700. Richard Galpin reports.

A total of eight different agreements were signed at the ceremony in a lavish gilded hall inside the Kremlin. The most important is the commitment to replace the so-called START-Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty which expires in December. The plan is to agree a new deal which could cut the number of deployed nuclear warheads to around 1,500 each. President Medvedev also agreed to allow the United States to ship weapons and ammunition across Russian territory on route to Afghanistan. Moscow also agreed to American requests to allow the transit of weapons and ammunition across Russian territory for US military operations in Afghanistan.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission in Liberia has recommended that President Ellan Johnson- Sirleaf be banned from holding public office for 30 years because of her alleged role in one of the country civil wars. She had already told the commission she had given money to the rebel leader Chiles Taylor, but for humanitarian purposes. John James reports.

She is included on a list of around 50 names of those alleged to have supported rebel movements during and before the Liberian civil war. The conflict killed an estimated quarter of a million people in vicious and at times sadistic fighting, left thousands raped and with permanent disabilities.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission has spent the last three years collecting more than 20,000 statements from all levels of Liberian society. In this final report which went nearly 400 pages, the commission recommends eight former warlords be persecuted by a special war crimes tribunal including former President Chillas Tayllor. Mrs. Johnson- Sirleaf’s spokesmen told the BBC she could not comment as she was still reading the report.

Thousands of Egyptians have attended the funeral in Alexandra of a woman from the city who was stabbed to death in a German court last week.

Thousands of mourners marched behind the coffin of Malaelshabini, a young mother who’d recently become pregnant again before her brutal killing in a German courtroom. Some chanted slogans denouncing Germany and this widespread horror in Egypt of how this attack was allowed to happen. There’s being comparatively little coverage of the case in Germany, re-enforcing perceptions that Europeans are prejudiced against Muslims. Egyptian commentator said that if the attacker had been a Muslim and the victim had been a westerner or a Jew, the reaction in Germany would have been very different.

利比里亚真相与和解委员会建议禁止总统埃伦·约翰逊三十年内担任公职，因其被指控发动国内战争。她已经向委员会交待，她确实给反对党领袖奇利斯·泰勒一笔钱，但是是出于人道主义目的。John James报道。
