On BBC yesterday I heard the latest news on radio. Here are some news from several countries.
Chile: Dozens of people were arrested after looters fought over goods and set fire to a department store. An 8.8 magnitude earth quake killed more than 700 people last Saturday. Many residents are short of food, water, electricity and others. So several military Lorries distributed goods until the curfew was lifted.
Uganda: More than a hundred people have been killed in a landslide in the mountains eastern region of Buddha in Uganda. Over 60 children are missing.
The government had provided hundred coffins to provide these families with respectable burial.
France and Rwanda: Agathe Habyarimana is accused by the current Rwandan government of helping to plan the 1994 genocide, and has long been hunted by prosecutors there.
Mrs Habyarimana, who has been living in France for several years, denies the accusations.
Srebrenica: Mr Karadzic is accused of orchestrating a campaign of "ethnic cleansing". Mr Karadzic told his trial at The Hague that Sarajevo, where some 12,000 people died in 44 months, was "not a city under siege" by Bosnian Serb forces.
He said claims of the 1995 Srebrenica massacre of more than 7,000 Muslim men and boys were based on "false myths".
He is accused of genocide and war crimes devoted during the conflict.
Pakistan: Muslim scholar Dr Tahir ul-Qadri, from Pakistan attracted the interest of policymakers and security chiefs with his way of thinking. He believes that Islam prohibits the massacre of innocent citizens and suicide bombings. He developed his document last year as a response to the increase in bombings across Pakistan by militants.
Yemen: An explosion took place in the town of Taiz, killing at least ten people including two children so far.
BBC: Mr Thompson also announced that half of the websites on BBC online will close by 2013. Among the closures will be teen services Switch and Blast, with Mr Thompson admitting Channel 4 should lead the way with these audiences.
The strategy review has now been submitted to the BBC Trust and a public consultation period will take place.
The quality of sound is clear and pure. All words and letters were clear. Yet the announcer talked very slowly at times and faster in other times. The length of sentences varied from one to another. The best thing about the news cast is its duration. It was neither short nor long. Moreover, each story took almost the same time as other stories. The news cast was smooth at that point.
Regarding Chile story, I disliked the part when a NAT sound of a Chile woman was talking while a translator was translating.
Concerning France story, The French man who was interviewed talked in a French accent, which I liked.
