Bosco Ntaganda sentenced for crimes in DR Congo

A former Congolese rebel leader has been sentenced to 30 years for war crimes

A former Congolese rebel leader has been sentenced to 30 years for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Bosco Ntaganda, nicknamed "Terminator", was convicted on 18 counts including murder, rape, sexual slavery and using child soldiers. He was sentenced at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague. Our BBC correspondent gives us the background to the man.

Also, the Springboks have kicked off their Rugby World Cup victory parade in Pretoria, Johannesburg and Soweto. There has been lots of talk about how this victory has unified the country, but not everyone feels that way. Some think it projects a false picture of
unity and a reminder of apartheid. We hear from two South African sports journalists.

And, air pollution is a concern for a group of teenagers in Pakistan. They've filed a petition against their government. We hear from one of them.
