	Description:		In the first genocide ruling against any member of Cambodia's brutal Khmer Rouge regime, two leaders have been found guilty. Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan were on trial at the UN-backed tribunal in Phnom Penh on charges of exterminating Cham Muslims and ethnic Vietnamese. Also on the programme: A Turkish official tells us that justice for the Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi is unlikely as funeral prayers are held for him around the world; details of a scathing report into poverty in Britain; and a new way to measure a kilogramme.
