Hello, I'm Joey Smith with the BBC News.
Within the next few hours, the ex-president of IvoryCoast, Laurent Gbagbo, will become the first formerhead of state to stand trial at the InternationalCriminal Court in The Hague. Mr. Gbagbo is chargedwith war crimes and crimes against humanity, after his refusal to admit defeat to his rival,Alassane Ouattara, in elections in 2010. One of his advisers, Abdon Bayeto, was asked how Mr.Gbagbo would plead.?
He's going to plead, as you know, not guilty. I mean I don't know why you should ask thisquestion, when you know yourself there has been a parody of justice here. Somebody hasbeen, you know, imprisoned for five years with no proof, so he is going to plead not guilty.With more details, Anna Holigan reports from The Hague.?
Seventy-year-old Laurent Gbagbo is accused of deliberately targeting civilians based on theirpolitical allegiances, religion or ethnicity. According to the ICC, this case demonstrates that noone is above the law. And yet despite casualties on both sides, not one of President AlassaneOuattara's supporters has been charged, leading to accusations of victor’s justice.
Sweden's Interior Minister says he expects up to 80,000 failed asylum-seekers who arrived lastyear to be expelled. Anders Ygeman said that because of the large numbers involved, theexpulsions will probably take a number of years. More than 160,000 migrants arrived in Swedenin 2015.
The British government has announced that it will take in more unaccompanied children fromrefugee camps near Syria. That will be in addition to the 20,000 Syrian refugees who'll beresettled in Britain over the next five years. Kerry Walker reports.
The government's been under pressure from charities and opposition parties to accept 3,000refugee children as part of its response to the migrant crisis. Now, the Immigration Minister,James Brokenshire, has asked the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees to identifyunaccompanied children and help to bring them to the U.K. But they'll come from the countriesneighbouring Syria, not from among the one million refugees who've arrived in Europe. And thegovernment has not put a figure on how many it will take.

World news from the BBC.

The Vietnamese Communist Party has ended a week-long conference, in which it reelected itsSecretary-General as leader. Nguyen Phu Trong, a staunch defender of one-party rule, was theonly candidate to be nominated, after the reformist Prime Minister pulled out. Jenison Headreports from Hanoi.?
At the age of seventy-one, Mr. Trong, a low-key party veteran, is unlikely to make anydramatic changes in direction. The Vietnam’s economy is now deeply integrated into the globaltrading system. The export-led manufacturing boom has brought millions of jobs and raisedliving standards. And for all the talk at this congress of keeping socialism at the heart of theeconomy, the restructuring of inefficient state-owned industries will continue, though perhapsat a slower pace.
