The primaries says they call it were delayed by a couple of hours due to the fact that police raided the Polling Company that was supposed to monitor these elections and count the ballots police say it was because of such a project they did in 2013 where data was leaked but there are many questions particularly among the democratic democratic camp as to the timing because as you know today is this the 1st day of this weekend which these primary elections have been set and front to talk about this more with me im here with that claudia moshi Legislative Council or its your constituency Claudia Calhoun west youre going to be eventually if you get through these primaries fighting for your seat here i can you tell us what the strategy given the fact that we have seen so many changes in the past year what the Democratic Party strategy is now with trying to and harms the sense of unity of cohesiveness we want to make sure that in the upcoming legislator. The election not too many votes will get wasted amongst the Democratic Candidates and thats why the primary its the very 1st time we have such a prime rate and we want to make sure that to the not so popular candidates would be just chucked out and so we could concentrate could come soon straight on those who would actually win and who would actually fight for us indeed but there have been quite a few obstacles coming up to today and even going ahead with today can you tell us what turnout its going to be like and what some of the things you have to overcome now and in the future is likely to be the suspect the turnout. Couldnt be really commented until the end of tomorrow night because we have this 2 day voting time but then ive heard that so far the atmosphere may not be exactly a thurstons but its catching it enough thanks to the Hong Kong Police thanks to the kerry lamb government about all the what they did last night they try to send out this Chilling Effect one in hong kong people know that anything you do anything you say could break out when new security law so watch out but then i think its actually has the opposite Effect People get so little annoyed by whats happened last night coming out in schools this morning but at the same time theres a huge concern over this National Security law because of the vagueness of it people dont know when theyre crossing the line can you tell us how thats affected possibly campaigning to a certain extent and possibly people the way they vote well we are learning to live and survive legally these days indeed the hong kong its become so all wetly and it will play safe well try to find room.

Well its hard to say because both sides basically have been silent what we know though based on the discussion by the Technical Working Group of the legislative Franchise Committee i think is that a. B. S. E b. N. Was given the within 24 hours to submit an appeal to that same committee however the technicality we were told is that that appeal should be coming from a member of the majority that voted against the reopening or the reissue of the license so there is a bit absurd if you look at how unlikely though that just yesterday one of the lawmakers of the 70 may actually come forward and petition for an appeal in favor of a. B. A c b n but you see its executives its lawyers say that over the last few weeks during that 12 congressional hearings that were conducted by this committee and despite they say all the allegations and accusations hurled against them that nothing has been proven allegations against tax evasion about labor violations and even the citizenship the question over the citizenship of the owner of e. B. s levy and media corp has been put into question so again just before the vote thing the speaker of the house told everyone to vote against their conscience and you see it was a crushing blow for a. B. C. B. N. And to a certain degree according to Rights Groups the press freedom in the philippines 70 lawmakers out of 84 voted against the issuance of a broadcast license for the biggest Media Network in the country. How are people taking this. On the star blish broadcast. While you know there were seeing as mentioned earlier a rather narrowing space for legal remedies for a. B. S. E weekend but that is in stark contrast to the growing public outrage over this closure Rights Groups have said this is ill timed where you know basically some or around 11000. 00 workers of a b s e v n r might be losing their jobs in the middle of a pandemic where millions of filipinos have already lost their jobs they say this is also i mean just this the millions of filipinos who live in the countryside in the far flung areas where free broadcast a. B. S. E be and used to be their only access to information now it remains to be seen how it will be in the coming days but as you see it looks like history is repeating itself according to observers because this is not the 1st time that b.

Mourners are gathering in the some bosniaherzegovina for the 25th anniversary of the genocide 8000 muslim men and boys were murdered in the town in 1995 by both troops it was the worst crime of the bosnian war only a mass killing to be ruled genocide in european soil since the 2nd world war. Im happy that i will now beery my uncle who i never got to meet imagine what evil descended upon us when bearing a loved one youve spent 25 years searching for and dont even go to me since i was a baby in 1995. And even meet my father and even miss any of my male relatives. But im happy that obituary my uncle. Carter joins us now live from sobber needs a product how are commemorations proceeding this year in light of course as well the corona virus scare also i mean we are here at the Memorial Cemetery in srebrenica and 1st thing you notice when you arrive here things are different than last year or back in the day. There is much less people here and that is due to the coronavirus. Pandemic initially this is a quarter century anniversary initially it was planned that this should be a big Memorial Service honoring the victims but everything had to be scaled down there will not be some high level dignitaries which were announced announce their attendance United Nations secretary general should have been here or at least it was announced that he will be here former u. S. President bill clinton also was planned to be here there they had to cancel but they will address the common ration of a video message with which was sent in advance but probably the most important fact that the pandemic had was the number of victims that are to be buried here. Later in the day some families couldnt be here they dont live in bosnia anymore they couldnt be here couldnt come to the burial so they withdrew their consent for the burial so only 9 victims of the genocide will finally find their eternal peace today. You know its mind boggling i guess that 25 years is after all what the International Court of justice you know called genocide we still have the issue of recovery of remains how problematic an issue does that remain to be sort of a century later. Now the official number of victims of genocide is a 1372 at the Memorial Cemetery here we have around 6600 victims that are buried. Up to this date 7000 have been identified now to explain this difference between buried and identified victims i have to work as a back to the summer of 9095 now in the july when the killings were finished the victims were buried in mass graves but then came the outcry from the international community. And a looming nato intervention so the bosnian serb authorities went back to these mass graves with heavy machinery and relocated the bodies in that the socalled secondary mass graves were created now since this was done would have you machinery you had cases that victims ended up their remains ended up in several different locations theres this infamous case of a 14 year old boy who was remains have been found in 4 different mass graves now as you can imagine this. Cover up operation conducted by the Bosnian Serbs created a nightmare for the people who had the mission had the job to find these remains and identify them. In the cemetery behind me there is probably not a single grey wood a full skeleton and not just that there are more graves than one might think that contain only a bone or 2 now when they say that they have identify 7. 1000 people that could mean that there is only a bone a piece of a bone a couple of bones of a single Single Person now the final say on whether or not to bury remain sense with the family is understandably for some of them it is important to bury them and find the piece but for some other some other dead the bone or 2 is just not enough and so there is they there is still more than a house more than a 1000 people missing who are yet to be found or i will leave it there thanks so much to the machine which.
