We haven't heard from the organisers, we haven't heard from any independent monitors, but 107,000 people in Belgrade is huge by this country's standards. It's certainly the largest protest that I've ever heard of taking place in Serbia. And when you're in the midst of it, It's absolutely staggering. It was quite difficult to make any movement around the city because of it.

They actually had to change the location of the rally from in front of the National Assembly to Slavia Square, which is a much broader location with fewer obstructions, and crucially, none of the counter-protesters who were blocking the park in front of the National Assembly. And, of course, that was always leading to the possibility that there might have been clashes between the protesters.

and the counter-protesters. It's been generally good-humoured, no serious incidents have been reported, but once again people raising their voices and saying that they are unhappy with the way that President Aleksandar Vucic and the government have been responding to these allegations of corruption and cost-cutting which they believe led to the disaster at Novi Sad railway station last November.

It's really difficult to see what the end game to this is, because the students say they're going to carry on protesting until they've had full transparency and accountability with regards to this railway station collapse.

They want to know why 15 people died at a recently renovated facility that was part of the government's flagship infrastructure project, this high-speed railway line from Belgrade to Budapest. Now, President Vucic says the government has already released a lot of the documentation. We've had the resignation of Prime Minister Milos Vucic, plus the mayor of Novi Sad.

The charges being brought against 16 people, including a former minister. He says he believes the students will never be satisfied whatever he does, and he thinks they're being manipulated or taken advantage of by opposition parties who are trying to use what he calls the street to overthrow a legitimately elected government.

The resolution, which was adopted unanimously by all 15 members of the Security Council on Friday, calls for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. It also urged Rwanda and Congo to restart peace talks. In a post on social media, the Congolese government spokesman Patrick Muyaya hailed the resolution as a major diplomatic victory. And he also had this message for Kigali. Get out of our country.

Seit Januar haben die Rebels die Städte von Bukavu und Südkivus, der provinziellen Kapital Goma, in der östlichen Mineralbrücke des Landes, gefangen.

Währenddessen hat das Rwanda-Parlament ein Statement kritisiert, das das Europäische Parlament-Proposal kritisiert. for the EU to suspend the Minerals Agreement and aid to Kigali because of its alleged role in the violence in the Congo.

I think we can expect perhaps a divided response to this, because on the one hand Mr Rubiales has been found guilty of sexual assault. But the judge has only given him a fine. He hasn't given him the jail sentence that the prosecutor was calling for, a one-year jail sentence. He has to pay an 11,000 Euro fine.
