Myanmar Rohingya: UN says Military Leaders Must Face Genocide Charges
The report is the strongest criticism from the UN so far of violence against the Rohingya.
A United Nations investigation has called for the head of the Burmese military to be prosecuted at the International Criminal Court for the genocide of ethnic Rohingyas. It's also criticised the civilian leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, for failing to prevent the violence last year.
Also in the programme: the Ugandan opposition MP Bobi Wine has been granted bail on treason charge; and Australia says a boat found abandoned on a remote crocodile-infested shore was being used by people-smugglers.
