The conflict introduced the phrase "ethnic cleansing" into the lexicon describing war crimes, as different factions in multi-ethnic @placeholder sought to kill or drive out other groups. | (CNN) -- Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic intends to skip the start of his war crimes trial because he says he has had too little time to prepare, a spokeswoman for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia said Thursday. Radovan Karadzic wrote to the court to say he would not attend the trial. The trial is still expected to begin on Monday despite Karadzic's intended absence, which he announced in a letter to the court, the spokeswoman said. "The tribunal judges control court proceedings. They are the only relevant body that can make a decision about the readiness of the case for trial," she said.

"So @placeholder sacrificed his brain so they could research and develop and get better safety procedures and stuff like that for the NFL and for future football players. | Los Angeles (CNN) -- Seventy-five former professional football players are suing the National Football League, saying the league knew as early as the 1920s of the harmful effects of concussions on players' brains but concealed the information from players, coaches, trainers and others until June 2010.

Because there was a time, not so very long ago -- a time remembered vividly by many living Americans -- when the sign would not have raised eyebrows, much less warranted national headlines.

The Ohio Civil Rights Commission upheld a ruling that a landlord in Cincinnati who had posted a "White Only" sign on the gate to her swimming pool had violated the Ohio Civil Rights Act. The landlord, Jamie Hein, who is white, said the sign was an antique, intended to be a decoration; one of her tenants, Michael Gunn, filed the complaint because he believed the sign was placed to dissuade his daughter, who is African-American, from using the pool.

Israel says the steps it has taken are necessary to protect @placeholder citizens from terrorist attacks by Hamas, which controls Palestinian life in Gaza. | (CNN) -- As fighting rages in Gaza, a question about the region has shot to the forefront of international politics: More than three years after Israel pulled out from the small strip of land, is it still "occupied" territory? An Israeli helicopter gunship fires a missile Tuesday at a target in Gaza. "They are re-invading occupied territory," Palestinian legislator Hanan Ashrawi said on "CNN Sunday Morning." She added that Israel has "all the powers and none of the responsibilities of the occupying force." Ambassador Reda Mansour, Israel's consul general to the Southeastern United States, decried "the same old story about 'occupation.'" He added, "We didn't have, until the last 48 hours, one soldier inside Gaza. We didn't have one settler there."

A Sudanese military commander, Kamal Marouf, was quoted by Radio Sudan's website as saying that more than 1,200 South Sudanese had been killed. A Sudanese military spokesman denied that Sudan had used military aircraft to bomb the south. "We have nothing to do with what's going on in Unity state," he said, implying that militias or South Sudanese rebels were behind any fighting.

The solid foundations were rapidly built on as @placeholder assembled a series of world-beating teams which has in turn helped fuel handball's growing popularity among the French public. | (CNN)He won the Champions League and is his country's all-time leading goal scorer, but this isn't a story about a famous footballer rather a man who has almost single-handedly transformed the fortunes of handball in his homeland. France's Jérôme Fernandez may not be a household name outside his sport, but his achievements on court put even those of his twinkle-toed compatriot Thierry Henry in the shade. With more than 375 international caps and a goal tally for France nearing 1,500, Fernandez has been a colossus for both country and his various clubs in a career spanning almost two decades. During spells with sides in France (Montpelier and Toulouse), Spain (Barcelona and CF Ciudad Real) and Germany (THW Kiel), Fernandez has won numerous club titles, including the Champions League (twice), the sport's equivalent of football's premier European club competition.

"Both say, 'it was never the @placeholder's nor Brett Murray's intention to hurt anyone or harm their dignity, the Gallery and Murray regrets the pain that the display of the painting has caused.' | Johannesburg (CNN) -- South Africa's ruling African National Congress said Wednesday the party would drop the lawsuit it filed over a portrait of President Jacob Zuma that shows his genitals. The announcement was made by ANC spokesman Jackson Mthembu at Johannesburg's Goodman Gallery, where the controversial portrait was initially displayed. The work by artist Brett Murray was removed from public show after it was defaced by protesters last week amid a storm of protests and condemnation, the South African Broadcasting Corporation said. Called "The Spear," it is reminiscent of Soviet-era propaganda posters. Red on one half and black on the other, the painting portrays Zuma in a proud stance with his genitals prominently exposed.

Downey denies that @placeholder would have intentionally hurt the boy. | By Daily Mail Reporter An Oklahoma father is fighting to get custody of his twin daughters after their little brother was allegedly beaten to death by his estranged wife's boyfriend.

But on March 21, police were called to his Downey's Wasilla home because 23-month-old Ezekiel had stopped breathing. Downey's boyfriend, Jyzyk Sharpe, who had been watching the children while Downey was at work, was arrested Friday and charged with second-degree murder by extreme indifference and manslaughter in Ezekiel's death.

The California representative had been serving as his party's whip, or chief vote counter, since Republicans took control of Congress in 2011.

Revelation: @placeholder knew about Amjad Bashir's (left) links to alleged kidnapper Mujeeb Bhutto (right) before the Tory defector became an MEP | When Amjad Bashir sensationally defected to the Conservatives last week, Ukip leader Nigel Farage claimed his party had been 'begging' him to drop the MEP after being 'increasingly alarmed by his behaviour over the last few months'. But The Mail on Sunday can reveal the party was warned about his links with a convicted criminal a year ago – months before he was elected to the European Parliament. Local activists urged Ukip chairman Steve Crowther to investigate claims Mr Bashir 'was joined at the hip' to Mujeeb Bhutto - a former Ukip spokesman who was forced to resign from the party when it emerged he had masterminded a £56,000 kidnapping plot in Pakistan.
