[00:55.05]Alan Johnston reports from Milan.
[00:57.63]Silvio Berlusconi's lawyers were known to be braced for the worst as they went into the final day of this trial and they needed to be.
[01:06.13]The judges delivered a crushing verdict on their client.
[01:10.14]They said he was guilty of paying for sex with an underage prostitute who used to come to his raunchy sexually charged parties
[01:18.16]and the judges also decided that Mr Berlusconi abused the powers of his prime ministerial office
[01:24.12]when he tried to get the same 17-year-old out of trouble when she was arrested by the police.
[01:29.75]The former prime minister has already been sentenced to prison for tax fraud,
[01:34.01]but correspondents say he's unlikely to ever spend time in jail because of Italy's lengthy appeal system.
[01:39.80]The Pakistani Taliban say they have set up a new faction to target foreigners across Pakistan following their killing of 10 climbers in the country's north on Saturday.
[01:50.11]A Taliban spokesman told the BBC the move was in revenge for the international community allowing US drone strikes on Pakistan to continue.
[01:57.95]Expeditions there have since been halted.
[02:01.27]Sources have told the BBC that climbing will soon be suspended on other mountains including K2, the world's second highest peak.
[02:08.17]Thirty-six people have been arrested in connection with the attack.
