not made chicago, eight people left dead all eyes on vancouver, where it's the u.s. versus japan in the final game of the world cup. we begin in greece where the people have spoken and for the most part the word is no. that national referendum more than 60% voting against accepting a bailout from the european union. it was decisive it was clear cut. the country's economy still as uncertain as ever. barnaby phillips begins our coverage from athens. >> this is an act of defiance people lining up warned it's a choice wean the euro and the drachma. greeks saw it as a vote on austerity and a vote on what they persoef to be five years of ruin us policy bringing about an extraordinary economic contraction. but what happens next. alexis tsipras believes he'll go back into negotiations with european partners with a strengthened mandate, that he can bring up areas like debt relief. european government and it's no secret they hoped the referendum would result in the downfall of alexis tsipras and the government - syriza government, may see things differently. they'll be reluctant to talk about debt relief. they are answerable to their own parliament and don't forget there's a lot of bad blood and a lack of trust between this greek government and angela merkel and the other key players in international financial institutions institutions. obvious the past few days the greek government said the other governments are trying to blackmail it it spoke about humiliation, but it has to come to an agreement quickly at a time when greek banks are close to collapse. >> niklas is a professor of economics at the stern school of business at n.y.u. joining us from san francisco. thank you for your time. the poll shows greece voted no by a large margin. if the numbers hold up what happens now? >> well now the situation has become much more difficult. the europeans would have liked a yes vote which will be an affirmation of greece's position in the euro. and then the negotiations would have been easier now with a no vote negotiations will be harder. as soon as the greek prime minister has promised in the campaign for the referendum that he will have a solution in 48 hours, after the result meaning tuesday even and i find it hard to believe there'll be a solution by tuesday evening. >> let me ask you this will in your opinion, the european central bank lend the country the money. if it doesn't happen what happens to the greek banks. >> if the e.c.b. doesn't give money, the banks will run out of money on monday. so monday morning, monday evening, i don't know when on monday but they'll run out of money. the 60 euros that the people get out of the atms will not be available. if that happens, it puts a tremendous pressure on the greek government to try to find to issue a new is it currency or i.o.u.s or some other way to make the economy move. that would be in fact a disaster for greece because it brings greece one step closer to being out of the euro. a month from now, no one predicting a quick fix, but a month from now do you anticipate that greece will be part of the eurozone? >> well i think the probability is less than 50%. it's there. a probability that it will be part of the eurozone. it will depend on the negotiations of the next 2-3 days. to what extent mr alexis tsipras is willing to accept something like the deal he rejected a few days ago, and to what extent the europeans are willing to negotiate with him when he proved to be a non-credible negotiator. >> we are talking about an economy that by all estimates is about 2% of the eurozone why is it felt so strongly? >> well the europeans have certain rules that apply to everybody. they cannot make a big exception for greece just because greece is a small country. if they give more money to greece, the other european countries will ask for the same. they'll break the rules, and if they break the rules a lot, then suddenly the european experiment of the euro will fall apart. so they are constrained by the adherence of the rules, and cannot treat greece too much as an exception. they will make some exception, but not too much of an exception. >> niklas a professor of nicks at the stern school of business at n.y.u. joining us from san francisco. thank you very much secretary of state john kerry saying that the u.s. will walk away from the nuclear talks with iran if it can't get a deal it likes. with two days to go kerry says there's no guarantees. james bays is covering the talks and files this report from vienna. >> time is running out. that is the clear message from the u.s. secretary of state john kerry, who spoke to reporters after two sessions of negotiations with his iranian opposite number. >> we are not yet where we need to be on self of the most difficult issues, and the truth is while i completely agree with foreign minister mohammad javad zarif, that we have never been closer, at this point this negotiation could go either way. if hard choices get med in the next couple of days, and made quickly, we could get an agreement this week. if they are not made, we will not. >> reporter: foreign ministers have been arriving in vienna, and are expected to stay until 7 july, the new deadline. what happens if they don't reach a deal by then?

star-spangled madness as the fans streamed across the border to support the team. the march to the match, thousands walking down robson street to the stadium was spectacular. singing, chanting waving

final history for the women. it's been extraordinary. >> carley lloyd, a hat-trick. player of the tournament. >> yogi bear famously said it ain't over until it's over. was team u.s.a. more physically prepared than japan? >> i'm not sure whether it was a matter of being physically prepared. these are top-flight international squads. it's the end of a long tournament. the u.s. had an extra day to prepare for the final. they were mentally prepared. they were speaking that it was more confident. they liked where they were in terms of the way they were handling the ball and the pressure of a rematch with japan, and handling the question about wanting revenge for a loss four years ago they were more ready to step up embrace the moment, and in particular when carley lloyd made the tournament her own. >> it will be a huge upset or comeback. allen schauffler reports from vancouver. >> when we come back marking 20 years since the massacre at srebrenica. two decades after the worse

place in the boss nian war, more than 8,000 bosnian men and boys were killed as serbian forces tried to ethnically cleanse the area - all muslims. 20,000 civilians were forced to leave an area protected by the united nations. courtney kealy takes a look back at what happened. [ explosion ] >> reporter: the massacre of more than 8,000 men and boys in screb nitsia. bosnian troops commanded by mel add itch over ran the area in july 1995. he and serbian and yugoslavian president miloso vic and radaa van were indicted for war crimes. 20 years ago the current u.s. ambassador to the u.n. was a journalist covering the conflict in the balkans. >> i was a 24-year-old reporter in bosnia when bosnian forces made their move on srebrenica. i did not expect bosnian forces to set out to exterminate all the bosnian men and boys in their custody. i was not alone in underestimating the events unfolding. >> on july 11th, 1995 mel add itch and forces came into force. they separated women and children murdering thousands of men and boys. serbian tv broadcast footage. dead bodies. bosnian soldiers. also shown, muslim prisoners. the massacre of over 8,000 muslim men and boys the worst episode of mass murder in europe signs world war ii helped to galvanise the confidence of the community. >> for those that did not find their loved ones it's hardest for them. for mine my grandmother and others have their brazen plaques. i know where they are, i know they existed. it took place in the u.s. in december 1995. and brought the bosnian war to an end. >> it may appeal to all gathered here that the resolve by the horror of srebrenica be extended to commemorating the past and do more to prevent genocide and mass atrocities in the present. >> reporter: 20 years later the wounds are raw and deep. as we mentioned, slobodan miloso vic was indicted. he never stood trial, dying in prison. radaa van carditch is facing the war crimes serbia asking not to adopt the revolution, referring to it as a genocide saying it will deepen ethnic divisions in bosnia. it was draft the by the u.k. to mark the anniversary and will be voted on. on saturday there will be a memorial to remember those kill. they'll be welcomed by the mayor of srebrenica and represent tints of the victims associations. bill clinton is expected to lead the u.s. delegation at the ceremony. the washington d.c. bureau chief for al jazeera ball dance. -- balkans, and an attorney that witnessed the massacre as a child. what does it say about us that 20 years after the mass agger, some don't want to call it genocide. >> thank you for organising the programme to begin. i actually was - i'm from srebrenica, i was there when the wore broke out. my mum and sisters left in '92 and lived in refugee camps for three years and went back to bosnia. i was not in srebrenica at whole time. what does it say about us. this is a shame on international communities that we cannot be together and call this genocide. what happened in srebrenica in july '95, the systematic murders that happened in the span of a few days that were premeditated deliberate murders, if we cannot call that by its rightful name as established by years of testimony and evidence and witnesses reliving the horrific event during the trials it's been established by icj and i c.t. y as jen side. the international community should respect the victims, and call it by the proper name genocide. we can begin a process of reconciliation. >> the fact that they are not calling it genocide it deepens the wounds and worsen it 20 years later? >> absolutely. not only does it deepen the wound, but revictimizes all the people that survived one way or the other. by not calling what happened in july 1995 genocide by not acknowledging the pain and suffering of in an egregious way, this... - i would not want to say it's okay. but these are not random murders, these are systematic executions of 8,000 - over 8,000 men and boys in the span of a few days bulldozers coming in digging out mass graves for the burial of these bodies this - not calling it by genocide it doesn't recognise the weight and impact of the mass murders, and revictimizes people that live through it. and it basically tells them that their pain is not real. their suffering it not real and that the people that they have lost somehow were taken away by some random acts and that's premeditated deliberate acts of systematic murder. >> i want you to listen to a sound bite by ban ki-moon. we are going to talk on the back end. take a listen. >> the united nations founded to prevent crimes from recurring, failed in its responsibilities to protect the lives of innocent civilians seeking protection from the conflict and violence around them. the u.n. secret air yacht, the security council, and member state share the blame. >> we are talking about this now from ban ki-moon. we could be saying the same thing about boko haram, the same thing about i.s.i.l. what does it mean now that we are still talking 20 years later? >> it's a lack of political will, first of all we didn't have a chance to put this on the table. practically the u.n. is two tribunals, and war crime in the hague for war crimes committed in yugoslavia, and they recognise 2004 to boss niian general, that genocide was committed. and then in 2006, the international crime tribunal based in the hague did the same thing. misty upham never did that. that is an effective move from the united nations. it's nothing surprising for me. >> after the war i was in kosovo and met with children who survived a massacre. a girl with a long scar. they were kids now they are adults. do they feel a double sense of betrayal because the world is debating what happened 20 years ago when it knows what happened it doesn't want to call it what it is. >> absolutely absolutely. you are right. they feel that people like a kid during the unbelievable crime. of course, people feel a betrayal and it's all over the region, especially people from srebrenica, and they couldn't find a solution any kind of justice for them all of these years, and they are expecting that the united nations does something in their behalf. i apologise in advance for mispronouncing your name but miloso vic died many of those charged with war crimes are awaiting trial, is it justice served or denied if 20 years after the crime there's not a verdict? >> i must admit that the trials are slow. but the srebrenica people are grateful that the trials are happening. we have 14 war criminals that have been convicted. the trials are ongoing. there are many family members - there are many families who lost tens - hundreds of people from their families justice - for example, i lost 50 family members centring the srebrenica genocide. 255 from my village were lost during july 1995. a small village, not many people. it's a huge chunk of people missing. justice this that - in this - in an enormous crime is difficult to put the number of years that would be adequate to punish those who are responsible for these crimes. but at least through the trial, a record can be established. history can be written properly so we do want the trials to proceed, we do want the people who are responsible to face their trials to actually hear the testimony of these witnesses. we want them to feel the pain. >> let me ask you this. do you want them to feel the pain financially. money talks. should there be compensation for the victim's families, if not, why not? >> again, i don't know how you could put a price on that. yes, there should be - i am all for the financial compensation. i would not want that to - i don't want us to debate how much would be adequate compensation for the victims. however, the debate should be that a lot of the families - a lot of the mothers, sisters, daughters, sons - they are left with absolutely no way of needing them. bosnia is in dissa ray. we have a lot of people in financial ruin. that may help provide an education. but there is no way to put a price on the pain that they are suffering, and they are probe continuing to suffer for the rest of their lives. >> i want to close with you. we are talking 20 years after the massacre and you are in washington d.c. they are not talking about srebrenica, they are talking about i.s.i.l., about iraq and syria. does it bother you that they are not talking about it because there is that old saying that failure to heed history's warnings makes us doomed to repeat it. it appears they are raping it again. -- repeating it. >> right now it is a good opportunity for bosnia to be a time in focus. u.s. congress is preparing additional resolution about massacre and genocide. they were doing it 10 years ago and right now. i'd like to say that all - to all people who are denying that something happened in srebrenica srebrenica, that the denial is the last stage of genocide. and, actually that's a document by gregory stanton, a former u.s. official and founder of the genocide organization. i think that is the big message for all people in bosnia serb and people in serbia that deny that genocide was committed. it was committed, and the united nations and especially the u.s. government - they have documents about that. >> the washington d.c. bureau chief for al jazeera balkans, thank you for being with us. and an attorney who witnessed the massacre the srebrenica, thank you for being with us as well. pope francis returning to his south roots. -- south american roots. mirjana lucic-baroni is in quooeto with more on the reception the pope received. >> there are thousands and thousands of people lining the streets, very excited, indeed hoping to get a glimpse of the pope. this is a very important visit. first of all he's coming to three of the poorest nations, in keeping with his determination to give priority to those that he says are on the periphery of power. the countries have a high indigenous population. he wants to acknowledge them, and the people of the three countries are fatal to the catholic church. at a time when millions of catholics defected. also a lot of loyalty to the catholic church. they have remained members of the chump. ecuador has 79% of the people profess to be catholics, higher than in brazil for example, which was latin america's catholic country but is no longer. it's an exciting time fors him and his people who have not seen a poem for 30 years. >> 65,000 people from the seventh day adventist church are debating whether to ordain women. at issue what it means about ordain. whether different regions of the church can disagree. it's happening at a conference in san antonio, and they'll vote on the issue of women in the clergy on wins. the u.s. episcopal church allowing clergy to perform same sex wedding. not all have endorsed the idea. to talk in general we are joined by father thomas reece. a senior analyst. you are a man of faith, how should people of faith record the ruling? >> well i think that there's a lot of different opinions among the christian churches about this. many evangelical groups are concerned about this. feel that the - that homosexuality is against god's law, and should be against the civil law. on the ordinary hand we have many main line progressive churches that are starting to have weddings between homosexual couples. >> from a religious standpoint... >> my personal view is that this is not something that we as christians, have to be all that concerned about. we should follow our own safe traditions on how to deal with this and how civil society deals with this is a different issue. something can be legal that christians don't like. at the same time we are free under the constitution to practice our faith as we see it. >> let me ask the question this way. how do the faithful square the adam and eve argument against adam and steve. with faith as a backdrop judge yet not be judged. how do they square the two pillars of faith. >> well many in the christian communities, look to the bible and see that homosexual activity is condemned by the bible and, therefore, it's against god's law, and that settleses the question. others in the christian community look at the script tours and say there's a lot of things that are historically based and culturally determined by the time when they were written. and when you look at homosexuality today, they would argue that if this is the way god made people who are we to decide that they can't be - kapt follow their inclinations. who are we to say that god makes junk. who are we to say that we should not do this. this is controversial issue within the christian communities about which there's no consensus. >> it's a huge debate politically. earlier on "face the nation", brendan santi said this. -- rick santorum said this... >> there's an all the on religious liberty, the court said churches you can teach what you want but didn't say you are allowed to practice what you want. it's an infringement on the foundational right that we have which is the first amendment, and third, that it's really a further erosion of this founding - foundational building block of society, the nuclear family. >> not one republican candidate is lining up behind the skoahedize ruling. who is right - republicans and democrats, and is it an assault on the church? >> he's correct in saying the churches are free to teach what he want. the churches have freedom of religion. he's wrong saying they are not free to pr. there's no one that believes ministers will be forced to perform same-sex marriage. this is protect. their freedom it protected by the first amendment. when it comes to the question, we believe families are the foundation of society. >> when you say family does that mean a mother and father or mother and mother or father and father. >> at one time i lived in new york, and we had apartment buildings in new york filled with unmarried couples, heterosexual and homosexual. will it underline marriage and civilisation if the homosexuals get married? >> that may be a witness to the hetero sexuals, that may be they ought to get married. i think the homosexual community is acting traditionally in embracing marriage and wanting to embrace it and not to attack it. this is, again, is very controversial within the christian community today. >> father thomas reece, analyst with the national catholic reporter. thank you for being with us. >> coming up the lasting imaging of today's greek referendum and a single photo. it's our shot of the day. >> from south korea to the countryside. unique places that are world heritage sites. some of the world's exotic and iconic sites are threatened. the u.n. is working hard to save them. >> the sites in south-west china, green mountains dotted with old fortresses and palaces. more than 500 years olds they have been recognised as culturally significant by the u.n. heritage body. a region in south korea has been given u.n.e.s.c.o. status. old city walls and administrative buildings from an early kingdom. >> they established ties with china, japan and east asia across the sea. the kingdom enjoyed a glamorous, superior culture and can be shared with the world and be recognised internationally. >> singapore's botanical were given u.n.e.s.c.o. status. >> it's a special place. >> reporter: in europe, the vineyards champagne and burgundy were recognised as important site, producing famous and drinkable exports from france. achieving u.n.e.s.c.o. world heritage status is not just global recognition, it's supposed to give better protection to important landmarks. recently the world's ability to do that has been questioned. i.s.i.l. fighters seized palm palmyra and syria, starting a campaign of destruction. blowing up monuments more than 2,000 years old. around 50 other u.n.e.s.c.o. sites are designated as endangered. among them three in yemen, including an old city, bombed by a saudi-led coalition. drewing to defeat houthi rebels. and the home of the rare mountain gorilla, it's listed as endangered because of poaching and environmental pressures. getting recognised by the u.n. body usually brings tourism. it is criticized at detrimental to some survival. u.n.e.s.c.o. argues by honouring the greatest monuments helps to create peace and understanding. and we are going to take a look at the top story, the greek referendum, and how it laid out on social media. youth in greek were expected to favour the no photo. many posted images holding signs and writing the word no. and received sport from greeks abroad. social media was used to promote both sides, some taking pictures of ads on the streets of athens and other cities. [ chanting ] and once those results came in many of the no voters celebrating in the square where thousands gathered waving flags and chanting "no." no to our photo shot of the day. a moment of saying yes to no. a photographer capturing this image in athens this evening. people reacting to word that greece rejected the e.u.'s bail out offer. more than 60% of ballots were against it. finally, the u.s. beating japan in vancouver canada. the final score 5-2. carley lloyd scoring a hat-trick - three goals. the united states is the only country in the world to celebrate three world cup wins. thank you for joining us. i'm del walters in new york. i'll be back with another hour of news. stay tuned. "faultlines" is next. >> it's friday afternoon in the rio grande valley in texas. >> abortion is one of the most common medical procedures for women around the world. >> two friends are reading a manual on how to give yourself an abortion. >> and then i asked you for sure like how pregnant you are. >> for sure right now, i'm seven weeks. >> that's good because once you get to 12 weeks, it's like riskier. >> they wouldn't let us film their faces because here, like in most states, what they are about to do could be considered illegal.

not made chicago, eight people left dead all eyes on vancouver, where it's the u.s. versus japan in the final game of the world cup. we begin in greece where the people have spoken and for the most part the word is no. that national referendum more than 60% voting against accepting a bailout from the european union. it was decisive it was clear cut. the country's economy still as uncertain as ever. barnaby phillips begins our coverage from athens. >> this is an act of defiance people lining up warned it's a choice wean the euro and the drachma. greeks saw it as a vote on austerity and a vote on what they persoef to be five years of ruin us policy bringing about an extraordinary economic contraction. but what happens next. alexis tsipras believes he'll go back into negotiations with european partners with a strengthened mandate, that he can bring up areas like debt relief. european government and it's no secret they hoped the referendum would result in the downfall of alexis tsipras and the government - syriza government, may see things differently. they'll be reluctant to talk about debt relief. they are answerable to their own parliament and don't forget there's a lot of bad blood and a lack of trust between this greek government and angela merkel and the other key players in international financial institutions institutions. obvious the past few days the greek government said the other governments are trying to blackmail it it spoke about humiliation, but it has to come to an agreement quickly at a time when greek banks are close to collapse. >> niklas is a professor of economics at the stern school of business at n.y.u. joining us from san francisco. thank you for your time. the poll shows greece voted no by a large margin. if the numbers hold up what happens now? >> well now the situation has become much more difficult. the europeans would have liked a yes vote which will be an affirmation of greece's position in the euro. and then the negotiations would have been easier now with a no vote negotiations will be harder. as soon as the greek prime minister has promised in the campaign for the referendum that he will have a solution in 48 hours, after the result meaning tuesday even and i find it hard to believe there'll be a solution by tuesday evening. >> let me ask you this will in your opinion, the european central bank lend the country the money. if it doesn't happen what happens to the greek banks. >> if the e.c.b. doesn't give money, the banks will run out of money on monday. so monday morning, monday evening, i don't know when on monday but they'll run out of money. the 60 euros that the people get out of the atms will not be available. if that happens, it puts a tremendous pressure on the greek government to try to find to issue a new is it currency or i.o.u.s or some other way to make the economy move. that would be in fact a disaster for greece because it brings greece one step closer to being out of the euro. a month from now, no one predicting a quick fix, but a month from now do you anticipate that greece will be part of the eurozone? >> well i think the probability is less than 50%. it's there. a probability that it will be part of the eurozone. it will depend on the negotiations of the next 2-3 days. to what extent mr alexis tsipras is willing to accept something like the deal he rejected a few days ago, and to what extent the europeans are willing to negotiate with him when he proved to be a non-credible negotiator. >> we are talking about an economy that by all estimates is about 2% of the eurozone why is it felt so strongly? >> well the europeans have certain rules that apply to everybody. they cannot make a big exception for greece just because greece is a small country. if they give more money to greece, the other european countries will ask for the same. they'll break the rules, and if they break the rules a lot, then suddenly the european experiment of the euro will fall apart. so they are constrained by the adherence of the rules, and cannot treat greece too much as an exception. they will make some exception, but not too much of an exception. >> niklas a professor of nicks at the stern school of business at n.y.u. joining us from san francisco. thank you very much secretary of state john kerry saying that the u.s. will walk away from the nuclear talks with iran if it can't get a deal it likes. with two days to go kerry says there's no guarantees. james bays is covering the talks and files this report from vienna. >> time is running out. that is the clear message from the u.s. secretary of state john kerry, who spoke to reporters after two sessions of negotiations with his iranian opposite number. >> we are not yet where we need to be on self of the most difficult issues, and the truth is while i completely agree with foreign minister mohammad javad zarif, that we have never been closer, at this point this negotiation could go either way. if hard choices get med in the next couple of days, and made quickly, we could get an agreement this week. if they are not made, we will not. >> reporter: foreign ministers have been arriving in vienna, and are expected to stay until 7 july, the new deadline. what happens if they don't reach a deal by then?

protected by the united nations. courtney kealy takes a look back at what happened. [ explosion ] >> reporter: the massacre of more than 8,000 men and boys in screb nitsia. bosnian troops commanded by mel add itch over ran the area in july 1995. he and serbian and yugoslavian president miloso vic and radaa van were indicted for war crimes. 20 years ago the current u.s. ambassador to the u.n. was a journalist covering the conflict in the balkans. >> i was a 24-year-old reporter in bosnia when bosnian forces made their move on srebrenica. i did not expect bosnian forces to set out to exterminate all the bosnian men and boys in their custody. i was not alone in underestimating the events unfolding. >> on july 11th, 1995 mel add itch and forces came into force. they separated women and children murdering thousands of men and boys. serbian tv broadcast footage. dead bodies. bosnian soldiers. also shown, muslim prisoners. the massacre of over 8,000 muslim men and boys the worst episode of mass murder in europe signs world war ii helped to galvanise the confidence of the community. >> for those that did not find their loved ones it's hardest for them. for mine my grandmother and others have their brazen plaques. i know where they are, i know they existed. it took place in the u.s. in december 1995. and brought the bosnian war to an end. >> it may appeal to all gathered here that the resolve by the horror of srebrenica be extended to commemorating the past and do more to prevent genocide and mass atrocities in the present. >> reporter: 20 years later the wounds are raw and deep. as we mentioned, slobodan miloso vic was indicted. he never stood trial, dying in prison. radaa van carditch is facing the war crimes serbia asking not to adopt the revolution, referring to it as a genocide saying it will deepen ethnic divisions in bosnia. it was draft the by the u.k. to mark the anniversary and will be voted on. on saturday there will be a memorial to remember those kill. they'll be welcomed by the mayor of srebrenica and represent tints of the victims associations. bill clinton is expected to lead the u.s. delegation at the ceremony. the washington d.c. bureau chief for al jazeera ball dance. -- balkans, and an attorney that witnessed the massacre as a child. what does it say about us that 20 years after the mass agger, some don't want to call it genocide. >> thank you for organising the programme to begin. i actually was - i'm from srebrenica, i was there when the wore broke out. my mum and sisters left in '92 and lived in refugee camps for three years and went back to bosnia. i was not in srebrenica at whole time. what does it say about us. this is a shame on international communities that we cannot be together and call this genocide. what happened in srebrenica in july '95, the systematic murders that happened in the span of a few days that were premeditated deliberate murders, if we cannot call that by its rightful name as established by years of testimony and evidence and witnesses reliving the horrific event during the trials it's been established by icj and i c.t. y as jen side. the international community should respect the victims, and call it by the proper name genocide. we can begin a process of reconciliation. >> the fact that they are not calling it genocide it deepens the wounds and worsen it 20 years later? >> absolutely. not only does it deepen the wound, but revictimizes all the people that survived one way or the other. by not calling what happened in july 1995 genocide by not acknowledging the pain and suffering of in an egregious way, this... - i would not want to say it's okay. but these are not random murders, these are systematic executions of 8,000 - over 8,000 men and boys in the span of a few days bulldozers coming in digging out mass graves for the burial of these bodies this - not calling it by genocide it doesn't recognise the weight and impact of the mass murders, and revictimizes people that live through it. and it basically tells them that their pain is not real. their suffering it not real and that the people that they have lost somehow were taken away by some random acts and that's premeditated deliberate acts of systematic murder. >> i want you to listen to a sound bite by ban ki-moon. we are going to talk on the back end. take a listen. >> the united nations founded to prevent crimes from recurring, failed in its responsibilities to protect the lives of innocent civilians seeking protection from the conflict and violence around them. the u.n. secret air yacht, the security council, and member state share the blame. >> we are talking about this now from ban ki-moon. we could be saying the same thing about boko haram, the same thing about i.s.i.l. what does it mean now that we are still talking 20 years later? >> it's a lack of political will, first of all we didn't have a chance to put this on the table. practically the u.n. is two tribunals, and war crime in the hague for war crimes committed in yugoslavia, and they recognise 2004 to boss niian general, that genocide was committed. and then in 2006, the international crime tribunal based in the hague did the same thing. misty upham never did that. that is an effective move from the united nations. it's nothing surprising for me. >> after the war i was in kosovo and met with children who survived a massacre. a girl with a long scar. they were kids now they are adults. do they feel a double sense of betrayal because the world is debating what happened 20 years ago when it knows what happened it doesn't want to call it what it is. >> absolutely absolutely. you are right. they feel that people like a kid during the unbelievable crime. of course, people feel a betrayal and it's all over the region, especially people from srebrenica, and they couldn't find a solution any kind of justice for them all of these years, and they are expecting that the united nations does something in their behalf. i apologise in advance for mispronouncing your name but miloso vic died many of those charged with war crimes are awaiting trial, is it justice served or denied if 20 years after the crime there's not a verdict? >> i must admit that the trials are slow. but the srebrenica people are grateful that the trials are happening. we have 14 war criminals that have been convicted. the trials are ongoing. there are many family members - there are many families who lost tens - hundreds of people from their families justice - for example, i lost 50 family members centring the srebrenica genocide. 255 from my village were lost during july 1995. a small village, not many people. it's a huge chunk of people missing. justice this that - in this - in an enormous crime is difficult to put the number of years that would be adequate to punish those who are responsible for these crimes. but at least through the trial, a record can be established. history can be written properly so we do want the trials to proceed, we do want the people who are responsible to face their trials to actually hear the testimony of these witnesses. we want them to feel the pain. >> let me ask you this. do you want them to feel the pain financially. money talks. should there be compensation for the victim's families, if not, why not? >> again, i don't know how you could put a price on that. yes, there should be - i am all for the financial compensation. i would not want that to - i don't want us to debate how much would be adequate compensation for the victims. however, the debate should be that a lot of the families - a lot of the mothers, sisters, daughters, sons - they are left with absolutely no way of needing them. bosnia is in dissa ray. we have a lot of people in financial ruin. that may help provide an education. but there is no way to put a price on the pain that they are suffering, and they are probe continuing to suffer for the rest of their lives. >> i want to close with you. we are talking 20 years after the massacre and you are in washington d.c. they are not talking about srebrenica, they are talking about i.s.i.l., about iraq and syria. does it bother you that they are not talking about it because there is that old saying that failure to heed history's warnings makes us doomed to repeat it. it appears they are raping it again. -- repeating it. >> right now it is a good opportunity for bosnia to be a time in focus. u.s. congress is preparing additional resolution about massacre and genocide. they were doing it 10 years ago and right now. i'd like to say that all - to all people who are denying that something happened in srebrenica srebrenica, that the denial is the last stage of genocide. and, actually that's a document by gregory stanton, a former u.s. official and founder of the genocide organization. i think that is the big message for all people in bosnia serb and people in serbia that deny that genocide was committed. it was committed, and the united nations and especially the u.s. government - they have documents about that. >> the washington d.c. bureau chief for al jazeera balkans, thank you for being with us. and an attorney who witnessed the massacre the srebrenica, thank you for being with us as well. pope francis returning to his south roots. -- south american roots. mirjana lucic-baroni is in quooeto with more on the reception the pope received. >> there are thousands and thousands of people lining the streets, very excited, indeed hoping to get a glimpse of the pope. this is a very important visit. first of all he's coming to three of the poorest nations, in keeping with his determination to give priority to those that he says are on the periphery of power. the countries have a high indigenous population. he wants to acknowledge them, and the people of the three countries are fatal to the catholic church. at a time when millions of catholics defected. also a lot of loyalty to the catholic church. they have remained members of the chump. ecuador has 79% of the people profess to be catholics, higher than in brazil for example, which was latin america's catholic country but is no longer. it's an exciting time fors him and his people who have not seen a poem for 30 years. >> 65,000 people from the seventh day adventist church are debating whether to ordain women. at issue what it means about ordain. whether different regions of the church can disagree. it's happening at a conference in san antonio, and they'll vote on the issue of women in the clergy on wins. the u.s. episcopal church allowing clergy to perform same sex wedding. not all have endorsed the idea. to talk in general we are joined by father thomas reece. a senior analyst. you are a man of faith, how should people of faith record the ruling? >> well i think that there's a lot of different opinions among the christian churches about this. many evangelical groups are concerned about this. feel that the - that homosexuality is against god's law, and should be against the civil law. on the ordinary hand we have many main line progressive churches that are starting to have weddings between homosexual couples. >> from a religious standpoint... >> my personal view is that this is not something that we as christians, have to be all that concerned about. we should follow our own safe traditions on how to deal with this and how civil society deals with this is a different issue. something can be legal that christians don't like. at the same time we are free under the constitution to practice our faith as we see it. >> let me ask the question this way. how do the faithful square the adam and eve argument against adam and steve. with faith as a backdrop judge yet not be judged. how do they square the two pillars of faith. >> well many in the christian communities, look to the bible and see that homosexual activity is condemned by the bible and, therefore, it's against god's law, and that settleses the question. others in the christian community look at the script tours and say there's a lot of things that are historically based and culturally determined by the time when they were written. and when you look at homosexuality today, they would argue that if this is the way god made people who are we to decide that they can't be - kapt follow their inclinations. who are we to say that god makes junk. who are we to say that we should not do this. this is controversial issue within the christian communities about which there's no consensus. >> it's a huge debate politically. earlier on "face the nation", brendan santi said this. -- rick santorum said this... >> there's an all the on religious liberty, the court said churches you can teach what you want but didn't say you are allowed to practice what you want. it's an infringement on the foundational right that we have which is the first amendment, and third, that it's really a further erosion of this founding - foundational building block of society, the nuclear family. >> not one republican candidate is lining up behind the skoahedize ruling. who is right - republicans and democrats, and is it an assault on the church? >> he's correct in saying the churches are free to teach what he want. the churches have freedom of religion. he's wrong saying they are not free to pr. there's no one that believes ministers will be forced to perform same-sex marriage. this is protect. their freedom it protected by the first amendment. when it comes to the question, we believe families are the foundation of society. >> when you say family does that mean a mother and father or mother and mother or father and father. >> at one time i lived in new york, and we had apartment buildings in new york filled with unmarried couples, heterosexual and homosexual. will it underline marriage and civilisation if the homosexuals get married? >> that may be a witness to the hetero sexuals, that may be they ought to get married. i think the homosexual community is acting traditionally in embracing marriage and wanting to embrace it and not to attack it. this is, again, is very controversial within the christian community today. >> father thomas reece, analyst with the national catholic reporter. thank you for being with us. >> coming up the lasting imaging of today's greek referendum and a single photo. it's our shot of the day. >> from south korea to the countryside. unique places that are world heritage sites. some of the world's exotic and iconic sites are threatened. the u.n. is working hard to save them. >> the sites in south-west china, green mountains dotted with old fortresses and palaces. more than 500 years olds they have been recognised as culturally significant by the u.n. heritage body. a region in south korea has been given u.n.e.s.c.o. status. old city walls and administrative buildings from an early kingdom. >> they established ties with china, japan and east asia across the sea. the kingdom enjoyed a glamorous, superior culture and can be shared with the world and be recognised internationally. >> singapore's botanical were given u.n.e.s.c.o. status. >> it's a special place. >> reporter: in europe, the vineyards champagne and burgundy were recognised as important site, producing famous and drinkable exports from france. achieving u.n.e.s.c.o. world heritage status is not just global recognition, it's supposed to give better protection to important landmarks. recently the world's ability to do that has been questioned. i.s.i.l. fighters seized palm palmyra and syria, starting a campaign of destruction. blowing up monuments more than 2,000 years old. around 50 other u.n.e.s.c.o. sites are designated as endangered. among them three in yemen, including an old city, bombed by a saudi-led coalition. drewing to defeat houthi rebels. and the home of the rare mountain gorilla, it's listed as endangered because of poaching and environmental pressures. getting recognised by the u.n. body usually brings tourism. it is criticized at detrimental to some survival. u.n.e.s.c.o. argues by honouring the greatest monuments helps to create peace and understanding. and we are going to take a look at the top story, the greek referendum, and how it laid out on social media. youth in greek were expected to favour the no photo. many posted images holding signs and writing the word no. and received sport from greeks abroad. social media was used to promote both sides, some taking pictures of ads on the streets of athens and other cities. [ chanting ] and once those results came in many of the no voters celebrating in the square where thousands gathered waving flags and chanting "no." no to our photo shot of the day. a moment of saying yes to no. a photographer capturing this image in athens this evening. people reacting to word that greece rejected the e.u.'s bail out offer. more than 60% of ballots were against it. finally, the u.s. beating japan in vancouver canada. the final score 5-2. carley lloyd scoring a hat-trick - three goals. the united states is the only country in the world to celebrate three world cup wins. thank you for joining us. i'm del walters in new york. i'll be back with another hour of news. stay tuned. "faultlines" is next. >> it's friday afternoon in the rio grande valley in texas. >> abortion is one of the most common medical procedures for women around the world. >> two friends are reading a manual on how to give yourself an abortion. >> and then i asked you for sure like how pregnant you are. >> for sure right now, i'm seven weeks. >> that's good because once you get to 12 weeks, it's like riskier. >> they wouldn't let us film their faces because here, like in most states, what they are about to do could be considered illegal.
