Karim Khan dismissed as prosecutor of ICC

Diplomatic sources say member states of the International Criminal Court have voted to remove the chief prosecutor, Karim Khan over sexual misconduct allegations.

Members of the International Criminal Court are reported to have voted to remove its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, over allegations of sexual misconduct. The 56 year-old British barrister is accused of engaging in an improper sexual relationship with a junior staff member, which he's strongly denied. His supporters say the case is political, since he sought arrest warrants for Israeli leaders for alleged war crimes in Gaza.

Also, a month after the twin earthquakes that struck Venezuela, a leading member of the opposition tells us why he thinks the destruction was so bad and the response so slow.

And that remarkable tale about two best friends who later discovered they were brother and sister.
