What BBN said about it
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe BBC reports a doctor accused of taking part in the 1994 Rwanda genocide will face trial in the UK.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorDr Vincent Brown is accused of being a leader or supervisor of violent acts carried out by others.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo a trial in Britain for something that happened in Rwanda. I assumed courts only handled parking tickets and my landlord.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHank, countries can prosecute these crimes far from where they happened. It is allegations only, and the trial will decide.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have sat outside courtrooms like that on three continents.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorUnderstood. Lighter note, apparently. Al Jazeera says Mourinho is lashing out at what he calls ridiculous criticism of Mbappe's knee recovery.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMourinho calling something ridiculous is like a goat in Mongolia calling something stubborn. I will say no more.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFinally, the Wall Street Journal says phone spotters are racing to save Britain's remote red phone boxes.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSome are doing it for nostalgia, and some for the apocalypse. Frankly, the apocalypse people have a point.
