BBC News with Sue Montgomery
The Iranian government has condemned European Union sanctions imposed in an attempt to stop Tehran's alleged nuclear weapons programme, calling them "illogical and unfair". A spokesman for Iran's foreign ministry said the measures were doomed to fail. The sanctions include a ban on imports of Iranian oil. The EU is Iran's second largest market. Gavin Hewitt reports.
The EU has taken what it regards as both tough and unprecedented action. It has imposed an oil embargo on Iran and frozen the assets of its central bank. The EU buys 600,000 barrels of Iranian oil each day - that's 20% of Iran's output. Underlining the gravity of the situation, David Cameron, Chancellor Merkel and President Sarkozy issued a joint statement. In it, they said "Our message is quite clear. We have no quarrel with the Iranian people, but we will not accept Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon."
The Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki has called for calm after the International Criminal Court in The Hague announced it's charging four senior politicians with crimes against humanity. The accused include two presidential candidates Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto. They are alleged to have been behind the violence that followed the 2007 election, during which more than 1,000 people died. Both have rejected the allegations. President Kibaki says that he's referred the ruling to Kenya's attorney general. But a spokesman for the ICC has told the BBC that the both accused may not be able to appeal against going to trial.
"The appeal has to be authorized by the pretrial chamber. If the pre-trial chamber says that there is no appealable issues in its decision, then the appeal will not be possible."
A US marine in charge of a unit accused of killing 24 unarmed Iraqi civilians in 2005 has pleaded guilty to dereliction of duty. Here's Alastair Leithead.
The killings in November 2005 tainted the reputation of American troops in Iraq and fuelled demands US forces should not be immune from its justice system. Prosecutors at the court-martial at Camp Pendleton in southern California said Wuterich had lost control after seeing his friend blown up in a bombing and had led his men on a rampage. He was charged with nine counts of manslaughter among other things. But they were all dropped in a deal which saw him plead guilty to dereliction of duty, which carries a maximum sentence of three months in jail and demotion to a private.
The chairman of the BBC Trust, Chris Patten, has accused British politicians of allowing newspapers to have too much influence over them in the past 25 years. Lord Patten told the Leveson inquiry into press standards the major political parties and their leaders had "demeaned themselves" over the way they'd "paid court" to newspaper owners. He said he had advised colleagues and at least one prime minister they shouldn't worry so much about what's printed.

The French Senate is due to vote shortly on a controversial bill that threatens to cause a serious rift in France's relations with Turkey. If passed, it would make it a crime to deny that a genocide was committed by Ottoman Turks against Armenians during the First World War. A motion to throw out the bill failed. Turkey has threatened permanent sanctions if it becomes law. It denies the mass killing was deliberate genocide.
A protester has been killed in a clash with police in an ethnically Tibetan part of China, in which activists say Chinese security forces opened fire on a crowd. The reported incident came at a time of great tension in Tibetan-inhabited parts of China as Viv Marsh of our Asia-Pacific desk reports.
Tibetan rights groups quoted eyewitnesses as saying the shooting happened in Sichuan province after several thousand people marched on government offices in Draggo in support of Tibetan freedom. The demonstration was apparently prompted by arrests earlier on Monday connected with the distribution of leaflets calling for Tibetan freedom. The official Chinese news agency confirmed one death but didn't mention any shooting. It said a crowd had gathered after a rumour that a monk would set himself on fire. It said the crowd later attacked a police station with clubs and stones.
Libya's foreign minister has confirmed that five people were killed on Monday in fighting in what was one of the late leader Colonel Gaddafi's last strongholds, Bani Walid, but the minister denied that diehard Gaddafi supporters were involved, saying it was a clash between rivals.
A former CIA officer has been charged with leaking classified information to journalists. The US Justice Department said John Kiriakou passed information about undercover operations several times between 2007 and 2009. He's also accused of revealing the identity of an agent who took part in an operation to catch the al-Qaeda suspect Abu Zubaydah.
