Ratko Mladic, the former general in charge of Bosnian Serb forces during the Balkans war in the early 1990s, has been found guilty of genocide and other crimes against humanity. He is sentenced to life in prison by the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague.

Henry Ridgwell reports from London.
