The Week when Terror Came to Brussels

BBC World Service - The World This Week, The Week when Terror Came to Brussels

We look behind the attacks in Brussels, and the verdict on Radovan Karadzic

This week: the Brussels attacks and the threat from within; Radovan Karadzic's genocide conviction sends out a warning; The backhanded compliment that rocked tennis.

We look behind the Brussels bombings with our security correspondent, and get an insight from a Belgian colleague into the suburb where the suspects found refuge. A veteran reporter of the Balkans conflict explores how the genocide conviction of Radovan Karadzic has changed the way prosecutors go after the perpetrators. A postcard from Cuba after President Obama's historic visit. And, how a backhanded compliment cost a tennis executive his job.
