77th Anniversary : D-Day landings

Defining moment of World War II marked by new memorial in France's Normandy.

A ceremony will be held in France today to mark the official opening of the British Normandy Memorial, seventy-seven years after the D-Day landings in the Second World War. We hear from France.

Also on the programme: a UN Tribunal delivers the final verdict in the trial of the Bosnian Serb commander Ratko Mladic, who is appealing his genocide conviction; and we'll be speaking to the curator of this year's Venice Biennale of Architecture.

Joining Paul Henley on the programme is Márta Pardavi a Hungarian lawyer and co-chair of the Hungarian Helsinki Committee, a human rights advocacy group and Tom Nuttall, journalist and Berlin bureau chief for the Economist magazine.
