Air permanently despite Many Americans concerns of a theme park reopening could floridas disney world still be the most magical place on earth. So we begin with the memorial to victims of an atrocity that happened 25 years ago but is still so fresh in the memory of those who lived through it it is the anniversary of the strip and its genocide where more than 8000 muslim boys and men were murdered by bosnian serb troops this saturday a ceremony is taking place in eastern bosnia and herzegovina survivors families and dignitaries have remembered those who died in what was not only the worst crime of the 995. 00 holes in the end war but also the only mass murder to be ruled a genocide on european soil since the end of world war 2. Well during the ceremony the remains of some victims who have only recently been identified were finally laid to rest this topic which reports from sherborne its this may not happen for everyone who was killed at this moment in the Identification Center there are 1009 and identified victims there are yet to be a date identified old old there was a large 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 indeed 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 denial 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 a an indicator that. It could happen again so denying genocide for their health is not just a slap in the face and recognizing genocide is that just honoring their suffering but also they consider it they perceive it as a sort of a shield for potential future suffering. Mamadou the coverage its a its a survivor he was just 17 when the war started and spent more than a month in hiding when serbian troops to send it on his town the search soldiers surrounded the service majority i will see 95 percent of people were unarmed in civilian clothing and those people cant shoot and some of them were killed on the spot and some of them were taken down to the asphalt road and then transported to the execution fields.

You know there was going on there were a lot of people who were wounded a lot of people were crying for for help and nobody could help them you know there were some people who were just beginning to for someone to finish them off and so they can start suffering so theyre kind of. Psychological pressure was extreme and it was one of the tactics to do with those used by this is soldiers to initially. Influence so much fear into those who create fuse to surrender so they would rather you know surrender to continue on with this trouble on to other news that irans latest as the country cant afford to go back into lockdown despite a sharp rise in new corona virus infections the number of cases in iran has now topped a quarter of a 1000000. Tatty castable caught we cannot hold tell Economic Activities 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 distancing recommendations a lockdown is the easiest measure that can be taken against the virus but the economic repercussions of the lock down and resulting resentment among the public we have to ban gathering and this includes weightings funerals and conferences any similar groupings are not necessary we also have to urge all people to adjust their way of life during this period of time as the number of infected cases has risen over the past weeks.

The economy just cant guilt 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 u. S. Dollar but also the economy is under u. S. Sanctions so what president rouhani 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 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 is that iran support centers that have close Contact Sports are not now closed so he pulls up close and reception holds that host wedding ceremonies and mourning ceremonies of have been 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 to buy as announced a 400000000. 00 package to help its economy recovery from lock down.

At least 5 people have been killed during a hostage taking at a church in south africa more than 40 suspects were arrested for attacking worshipers at the International Pentecost holy church in the west of Johannesburg Police say the attack was over the leadership of the church. 3 factions are fighting for control after the death of its leader and 2016 orphans from a 1000000 now in so what oh go 40 people have been a risk to you and they seem to have been a shooting and then a hostage situation at the small church just behind us just south of johannesburg it seems that there was a factional battle or least 3 factions of those church we are there members with a least 3000000 members across Southern Africa so it back till really was about leadership of the church since we 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 leadership of the church is related to income of the Church Membership of the church and its resulted in a hostage situation that saw at least 200 people who look on the premises kicked in the church while these factions battled it 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 were burnt burnt to death its not quite certain given what the police have said so far but their bodies were found in those burnt yoko we also know there is one other person whos been killed and all of the people the reverse that theyre also members of the police the National Defense was as well as the metropolitan police which really is quite bizarre given me extent of the violent scene at this church during the course of the day the sort of Things Congress has refused to renew the operating license of the countrys biggest broadcaster Rights Groups are calling a dark day for press freedom alan darkness details from manila.

Brody events in taipei needs our people in the netherlands and in boston yeah our for rafa connected only with that shared responsibility we can together prevent that genocide ever happens again on the european continent just like we promised after the 2nd world war a shared history that needs to be remembered together to make the dark chapter of subway need to more bearable for everyone who suffer it step 5 aljazeera the hake.
