And. All the sporting curating f one the reigning World ChampionLewis Hamilton topped the time sheets in qualifying and will start in poll position that front days accompli in austria. 25 years ago the town of srebrenica was on the verge of infamy today it has been a place of mourning on the anniversary of the area being taken over by bosnian serb forces people of remember the more than 8000. 00 muslim boys and men who were murdered over the ensuing 11 days it was a massacre that would go on to be ruled as genocide the only one in europe since world war 2 support from sun youre going to go. More and they came to grief. But in a pandemic far fewer were able to gather together to remember the dead. Once just a regular municipality in eastern bosnia now a town scarred by the very worst of what humanity is capable of and still control normality scorched by the horror of what came to pass here 25 years ago. On saturday the bodies of recently identified remains of 9 victims were laid to rest in the memorial cemetery. Dignitaries gabaa to hayworths from International Leaders now and then remembering the lives lost of what was termed ethnic cleansing and acknowledging how the International Community allowed this genocide to happen a quarter century ago the United Nations and International Community favor the people of. This former secretary general kofi annan said this failure we all are history for ever confronting the past is a vital step towards rebuilding trust more than 8000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were massacred by bosnian serb forces fathers and sons forcibly taken from their families. One of the women and girls subjected to torture and rape while the bosnian responsible for the massacre spending the rest of their lives in prison many still deny what took place mr lederach the government of the bosnian enclave. Has repeatedly questioned the number of Bosnian Muslims killed in. And continues to indoctrinate schoolchildren with his rejections of the 995. 00 genocide do we have survived in many experience genocide the only country in the region which does not have the law which prevents. So were becoming. Really. The extremists can flourish and with their statements in the speech the massacre that happened in 78. 00 so was ruled to be the only want to have taken place on european soil since world war 2 the recognition of that vitally important for the survivors and their families. And for the International Community for whom the phrase never again has been outed too often and little effect sunni triangle aljazeera. Doing research with aljazeera balkans and srebrenica here he explains why the remains of some victims may actually never be identified at this moment in the Identification Center there are 1009 and identified victims there are yet to be a date identified although there was a large wide scale in a sample gathering now the experts say that the problem the probable cause why. They are still to be identified is that theres just no next of kin you know theres no close enough relative that could guarantee a d. N. A. Match now that tells you that whole families have been wiped out of existence here in eastern bosnia in threatening and that tells you that the massacre of evidence in the end was a genocide and that was confirmed by basically every court that ever touched the case including the highest court in the world the i. C. J. Which confirmed that the massacre amounted to the crime of genocide both by the acts of physical violence but also by the intent now imagine surviving all of that the victims find genocide as a slap in the face and not just that the genocide watch organization has classified has found that all genocides always happen in phases in stages. There can be 8 or 10 different stages the pending on the methodology but not to go into the details the point is that the last phase of the genocide is genocide denial and that is an indicator that. It could happen again so denying it genocide for the victims is not just a slap in the face and recognizing genocide is not just honoring their suffering but also they consider it they perceive it as a sort of a shield for potential future suffering we got some perspective earlier from a former Guantanamo Bay detainees he now works with the u. K. Based Campaign Group cage but he spent a lot of time in bosnia before the massacre delivering humanitarian aid and he says the kind of hatred that led to srebrenica still persists. We remember 70 today but 70 so was it happen in a vacuum and it was a culmination of multiple approaches atrocities that were taking place that led to the deaths of tens of thousands ethnic cleansing mass rape and rape as a weapon of war that was used to impregnate muslim woman its so that the so soldiers that you will give birth to the next generation of of of serps the mandate of the United Nations was as peacekeepers now the problem is being a peacekeeper is when one side is much more militarily advanced and has much more firepower and is carrying out atrocities and in that sense in that place you dont keep the peace there you stop the aggressor and thats what they didnt do because their mandate didnt allow them to do so i spoke to many soldiers from various United Nations forces who told me that they were deeply upset and troubled that they couldnt they were sitting there arm and their tanks helicopters and aircraft and armed to the teeth but whats the point of being in that situation when youre not allowed to do do anything about it and though i have been myself attached to the United States american have suffered torture at their hands i will say that United States intervention did actually bring about an end but the end happened after the European Forces let it happen and nothing could be more vivid than what the dutch forces did intrapreneur and laing internally displaced people to come into sharp relief only then to abandon forces. And then of course the rest as we know is history. We move on to other news and irans president says his country just cant afford to go back into lockdown even though theres a sharp rise in new corona virus infections the number of cases has now topped a quarter of a 1000000 there the idealisation a kid tatty be a castle caught we cannot hold toa konami collectivities any longer that there is no country in the world capable of doing so the only way to break through this tough time is to observe the social distance. Recommendations a lockdown is the easiest measure that can be taken against the virus but the economic repercussions of the lockdown and resulting resentment among the public we have to ban gathering in the same clues weightings funerals and conferences any similar groupings are not necessary we also have to urge oh people to adjust their way of life during this period of time as the number of infected cases has risen over the past weeks. More from now in teheran he reports the government doesnt want to see a repeat of the economic anger that spilled into the streets late last year the economy just cant gild it going into this pandemic inflation is around 41 percent the country has seen an increase in unemployment the country has lost value against the us dollar but also the economy is under u. S. Sanctions so what president hollande is essentially saying is that the economy cannot deal with it but also he acknowledged that the government does fear that there will be opposition from the public and it was only in november last year that we saw widespread protests against the government fuel price increase but the government are trying that made face masks mandatory in enclosed spaces theyve been running campaigns on state t. V. Telling people that the crown of ours is no joke but they do face a challenge according to the Health Ministry adherence to social distancing and some of those regulations started off 80 percent at the start of the pandemic now is down to 10 percent but here at the iran support centers that have close Contact Sports are not now closed so impulse a close and reception holds that host wedding ceremonies and mourning ceremonies of having told not to host those and thats seen as a key factor in the spread of the virus now president rouhani did go on to say that iran has dealt with the virus better than some European Countries something that he said in the past saying that despite all the sanctions iran is still doing well but he encouraged the public to observe social distancing to abide by the rules and to face this challenge together. At least 5 people have been killed your in a sage at a church in South Africa Police say gunmen stormed the church on the outskirts of johannesburg over a leadership dispute there have been 3 sections feists of control following the death of the Church Leader 40 years ago some of the men i was at the scene and so as hosts as the church is a huge membership its. Over 40 people have been a risk to me and they have been a shooting and then a hostage situation at the church just behind us just south of johannesburg it seems that there was a factional battle of these 3 factions of this church with their members with at least 3000000 members across Southern Africa so it back till really was about the leadership of the church since the previous leader passed away in about 2016 at the time of his death it seems that he had left behind in a state of at least 26000000. 00 so i wonder standing at this point is much of the tensions around the leadership of the church is related to income of the Church Membership of the church and its results of in a hostage situation that so at least 200 people who look on the premises kicked in the church while these factions vassal did out at least 5 people were killed and in fact all of them were killed in a vehicle just outside of the church and it seems that they will burn up burnt to death its not quite certain given what the police have said so far but their bodies were found in those burnt yoko and we also know one other person whos been killed and all of the people realize that theyre also members of the police the National Guard or as well as the metropolitan police which really is quite bizarre given agree it didnt all go violent the napoles church during the course of the day.
