hello and welcome to audiences in the uk and around the world. president trump has for the first time been seen wearing a face mask in public, during a visit to a military hospital in maryland. masks have been a divisive issue in the united states. the president has so far refused to wear one in public. but before leaving the white house earlier, he told reporters he felt wearing a mask in a hospital was the right thing to do. 0ur north america correspondent, peter bowes, has more. there has been a lot of pressure on the president to wear a mask like pretty much everyone else has been encouraged to especially in recent weeks, indeed some american cities it is compulsory if you go out in public even out in the open air to wear a mask — such is the problem with coronavirus growing problem in cities like the one i am in right now in los angeles.

but the president has steadfastly refused at least to be seen in public wearing a mask. there was one occasion where he was out and about at a private visit we understand one or two pictures emerged that he was wearing a mask. but generally he has become known as the president who didn't want to wear the mask and explained repeatedly why he believed it was not necessary. that he is tested for the coronavirus frequently, so are the people around him. and that he practices social distancing with those officials that he works close with. he did not feel it was a necessary part from today where he was visiting this hospital outside of washington when he set a couple of days ago in a hospital setting, he said he did not want to be responsible for perhaps infecting other people and that is one of the big reasons we are asked to wear masks is to stop us infecting others. it seems that the president has now heeded that advice. also in the united states, leading democrats have condemned donald trump's decision to cancel the prison sentence of roger stone —

his long—time friend and political ally. senator elizabeth warren said mr trump was the most corrupt president in history. mr stone was due to begin a ao—month jail term next week. he was convicted last november of obstruction, witness—tampering and lying to congress — during an investigation into russian interference. eric bolling is a friend of the president and just interviewed him for his programme america this week. he explained to us earlier why he thought the donald trump had cancelled roger stone's prison sentence. president trump is trying to discredit the mueller investigation, the russian investigation as much as he can so anyone surrounding that investigation that ended up being convicted of crimes for lying to congress or lying to the mueller investigation or lying to the fbi, he is trying to get them out. general flynn is another one who he feels he,

president trump, was in large part the reason why general flynn is now not going going to be prosecuted and spend any time injail as well. i am shocked personally, i am a personalfriend of the president. i thought he would wait until after november or after the november election. a lot of presidents wait but this presidentjust does what he believes is right in his heart and he goes forward with that. eric bolling there. ceremonies have been taking place in the bosnian town of srebrenica to mark 25 years since the massacre of 8,000 muslim men and boys by bosnian serb forces. nine recently—identified victims have been buried during a ceremony at potochari cemetery. it was the worst act of mass killing in europe, since the end of the second world war. our special correspondent, allan little reports. this is notjust a day of commemoration. it is also a funeral. for bodies are still emerging from the killing fields where many have laid undiscovered for a quarter of a century. translation: today, i am burying my father. the oldest among

these victims here. it took 25 years until we found his body. his remains. so he can finally find peace. many bosnian serbs remain reluctant to acknowledge that the massacre at srebrenica happened at all. so remembering, keeping the historical record straight against distortion and denial has the character of a civic duty. bosnians do not have the luxury of believing that genocide cannot happen to them. that is what has driven munira subasic, one of the widows of srebrenica, in her unflagging 25 year pursuit ofjustice. translation: my first message is for criminals who have committed crimes and genocide. we will persecute you and we will never give up. there will always be someone to chase you. that is our right and obligation. bosnian serb forces seized

srebrenica injuly 1995, after three years of siege and bombardment. the men and older boys were separated from their families. then the killing began. planned, commanded and systematic. a small dutch peacekeeping force not only failed to stop it, they handed over to the serbs thousands of terrified muslims who crowded into their un base, where they thought they would be safe. the iconography of violent serb nationalism is very much at large farfrom here and celebrated today in the online manifestos of white supremacist mass murderers from norway to new zealand. that gives new urgency to the duty to remember what happened here. allan little, bbc news. one of bollywood's biggest stars has been hospitalised after testing
