. a human tragedy 20 years on. a special live report ahead from the site. the site of which the u.n. and much of the world calls genocide at the hands of bozsnian forces. >> a typhoon is little bustling

cities in china. good day to you and welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. we gene with a memorial service in bosnia. tens of thousands of people are coming together marking 20 years since a terrible massacre in that country. boys were killed in an area supposed today be killed by the united nations. you're looking at live pictures right now. three days ago, russia vetoed the resolution that branded the atrocities as genocide. we reported on the massacre back then and christian is there with

us again today. russia vetoing a security council resolution what are your thoughts on this? >> well george it just goes to show how divided the world is. you can see behind me the white tombstones laid and you can see another 36 bodies will be buried. this has been an agonizing process. so many boys that were separated from men and women, and then mowed down and dumped in mass graves have been so hard to find. it's been 20 years and they're still not all identified. 6,000 or so buried here. 1,000 or more waiting to be identified by bones or any dna

that can be gunshot wound. this is the reality of what is happening in bosnia right now. president clinton will come and pay respects to what happened. the war crimes tribunal has been prosecuting the wartime leaders. perhaps soon a verdict will come down. the head the chief prosecutor of that war crimes tribunal will be here today. just opposite of me is that factory that was the base of lightly armed dutch u.s. peace keepers. the netherlands was held responsibility for the deaths and not preventing the deaths of 300 men and boys that were slaughtered. this is still a very very difficult situation.

bosnia remains one of the most divided of all european countries. and there are ethnic tensions still creating trouble here. this memorial is happening and it was the worst massacre in europe since world war ii and it took all of the attention for the years that it lasted. >> i heard you mention that this was a moment when the world could have done much more. giving things happening, playing out in the world right now. giving things playing out in syria by isis, what are your thoughts on these pivotal moments when you have groups of civilians who need help? >> well certainly most people today believe, and they did back then that this could have been

prevented. this was an unnecessary loss of life and a mass genocide. it was not formally a u.n. safe haven, but it was a safe area. the world did not police it well enough. they didn't give the dutch commanders or the dutch troops here the means to stand up and force the serbs and force people to try to go to shelters there. they were refused air support, it didn't come. there was almost nothing they could have done. so they should have kept them inside. now what happened was that the world turned their eyes away and didn't stop this war until srebrenica. that forced president clinton at

the time to gather his western allies and ores and say listen this is the turning point, and the next time there is an atrocity we're going to act. shortly after srebrenica there was a market bombing at the center of the capital, and that was the turning point, and that caused n.a.t.o. cocome in and bomb the serbian positions. and that happened in november of 1995. so from july of 1995 when srebreica fell and when it was finally signed that's when the world got serious about stopping it. the politics still kept this bosnia divided and 20 yearth

later people want to reopen those accords and have a difficult reality to it's not divided. so it is still a very difficult political situation here for most bosnians and for the family who's are still grieving. 1,000 loved ones still have yet to be identified. >> certainly a solemn mood there today. what are people saying? just people who know about what happened there. what are people saying today? >> well you know there will be people saying how did the world let this happen and why are we now, basically in the basic republic of serbia here.

people are unhappy with the post war solution but people are also saying that look it is happening again in syria. to the point you made a couple moments ago. patty ashdown said we could have stopped it we didn't there are massacres happening around the world in syria right now, and sometimes we think that the lessons of what happened here have not fully been learned. certainly there has not been the truth and reconciliation that took place in south frisk after decades of apartheid. that has never happened here. what never happened here is the kind of denouncification that happened after the war in germany.

when the chancellor of best germany at the time willy brant, he went to the jewish community and he fell on his knees and apologized for what the nazis have done nap has not happened here. we have had some apologies for what happened but they have not acknowledged that what happened here was a genocide. as you mentioned, the notion that 20 years later the united nation's security council was not able to pass a resolution that it was a genocide because russia vetoed it it caused a lot of rage and anger. that did not say the bosnian and serbs did it but under pressure, russia vetoed it. so 20 years later, this pain

massacre this is not solved 20 years later. it was the most politically and ethically unified part of the former yugoslavia. and let's not forget this bosnia used to be in 1984 the scene for the winter olympics. you see how dramatic it was in the '90s, and how important it is if europe is to heal that the political process continue to try to resolve this properly once and for all. >> 20 years since that mass kwer. lessons to be learned. joining us live thank you so much for your time. coming up we will speak with the man who was the u.s. ambassador to croatia at the

time. and just after midnight the greek parliament voted to accept bailout reforms that voters already rejected. greece's proposal for spending cuts and tax hikes are a basis for negotiation. it's all in the hands of the euro group that meets in five hours time from now in brussels. this could indeed be grease's last chance to get a deal. we are joined now from athens by linda. this will be the country's third time to ask the euro zone for money. explane why the prime minister feels she in a better position now than before. >> reporter: the prime minister of greet got a lot of support yesterday. he got 251 votes in the 300 seat parliament.

he sees his position strengthenned and being able to negotiate greece's bailout terms. so he is clearly the one leader in grease who can do this and he got that support behind him now. of course in order to be able to negotiate with the yureuro zone at this point, he had to support a lot of issues into to say a bad deal may be better than a no deal. here is how he put it in parliament yesterday. >> the bailout proposal that will be discussed storm in the euro group includes many necessary actions which really are very distant from our preelectoral program from what

we believe is suitable for the economy to come out of recession. >> so they are basically saying that what he is about to walk into now is a mine field and greece has no options but to agree with the euro zone. for everything that we know this is very true. zrooes this is a crucial time for greece to strike a last minute agreement. >> we're talking about more austerity, some would say a more stringent proposal. but to be in a better position he says to satisfy creditors, is the prime minister putting himself at odds with the people who voted overwhelmingly against austerity

austerity? >> i think what remains to be seen is what the final terms of this bailout will be assuming we're likely to have one. that is because whether there is a restructuring of the debt it is not just a question of how much will greece how v to do but how will they be able to do it. of course you're absolutely right. he has a number of the members of his own party coming against him now and saying this is not what you promised. this is not what we're supporting. so what we're likely to see once the negotiations with the creditors are out of the way, we could be looking at a reshuffle, this is something that almost everyone expects in greece. for now the priority is to try to strike this bailout. >> linda, thank you so much. we'll stay in touch with you to

determine what happens next as european creditors decide how to move forward. a strong storm system is hitting china's east coast. let's turn now to derek van dam to bring us up to speed. >> china's postmost populated city bracing for the effects of a typhoon. the last time one of this strength hit was in 1985. their population was 12 million and now it is 23 million. so we have nearly doubled our population density and that puts more people in harm's way and being more susceptible as well flp is a large and expansive

typhoon. current winds are 165 kilometers per hour. this is equivalent to a strong category two hurricane if is roughly two square kilometers. that is about the size of the state of alaska or the country of mexico. tropical storm force winds are extending out about 310 miles from the center. this is having a compounding effect. this is the bay where we're concerned about coastal storm serge where waves have been known to crash up to ten meters. we have an impressive photo of the waves crashing in is

astounding stuff. not the place you want to be but damaging winds will certainly lead to widespread destruction in some of these locations certainly impacting some structures and buildings and that will be a major concern on top of this. we also have the possibility of localized flooding in and around this particular region. so we will monitor this very closely. >> derek, we'll stay in touch with you. thank you. the italian consulate was hit in cairo by what we're hearing was a huge explosion. you see the damage to the side of the building there and a wall collapsed. there has been no immediate claim of responsible for the attack. italy's foreign minister just posted this response on twitter.

bomb at our consulate in cairo. no italian victims, italy will not be intimidated. you're watching cnn news room and we're bridging you live continuing coverage of events in sr srebreica. and free of stuff i don't like. and in my castle we only eat chex cereal.nica. crunchability. no artificial flavors, and it's gluten-free. and that's something even my brother ... sister can understand. mom, brian threw a ball in the house! running my own shop has been brutal. but then i got a domain and built my website all at godaddy.

srebrenica. welcome back to cnn news room. these are live pictures of srebrenica. more than 8,000 muslim men and boys were killed by serb eerks aian forces. bones of 137 newly identified victims were just buried today. i'm joined by the man who the united states ambassador at the time of the massacre. thank you for being with us. looking back at what happened there, what can the world learn from such a terrible awetrocity.

>> it was a great failure of the international community. there was a larger failure. the u.n. charter says that when a country is attacked the rest of the world comes to it's help. that didn't happen in the case of bosnia. we tried to contain the war, to help the victims that was good but in the end it required action to help the victim of the aggression. and the second thing is that the world doubted what the serbs had been up to. what happened in srebrenica had been happening since 1992. it was the biggest of many

events. >> the simple fact that we're still still burying 136 new victims today, what about this? >> it magnifies the tragedy. 20 years ago when the body was starting to be discovered there was not the dna analysis. now bollies are being found, what the srkerbs did was they buried them and then dug up the graves and body parts were scattered. and it was agonizing for families that just want to put their fathers and husbands and sons to rest. it is a who riff ek reminder of

the crime. >> we call this a genocide what do you make of this? >> it's a real tragedy that the russians decided to politicize this trim. the international criminal court determined that this is a genocide. a court that the russians helped set up. people have been found guilty of genocide. so clearly what happened in srebrenica was genocide. these people were killed because of their identity. because they were bosnian muslims. and that's what is the definition of genocide. killing a group of people for who they are. >> thank you, peter, the ambassador to croatia for the

united states at the time. thank you. pope francis will visit a children's hospital in the coming hours. he is on the final day of his eight-day south american tour. later in the day, he will walk through and receive keys to the city. he also celebrated mass with his followers. major world powers are regrouping this morning to work on nailing down a nuclear deal with iran. friday's deadline came and went to negotiators gave themselves now until monday to come up with an agreement. john kerry on friday said they have made progress. the west wants tehran to curb the nuclear program. we continue to bring you live coverage from the events in srebrenica where mourners remember the thousands of muslim men and boys who were killed 20

years ago.

welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. you're watching cnn news room. today marks 20 years since more than 8,000 muslim men and boys were killed by serbs in srebrenica. it has been formally ruled a genocide. european leaders are meeting this weekend to discuss greece. the first session will be held

in bustlesrussels. europe says they want to finalize a deal. a downtown consulat ergs has been hit by a car bomb in cairo. negotiators are starting up talks against in aus tree ya. they could not get it down by friday's deadline so they're giving themselves until monday their third extension in two weeks. a high profile pedophilia trial at the vatican is on hold after the exarchbishop at heart of the case was hospitalized just before the proceedings. he is accused of paying minors

for sex acts and child pornography. we want to take you back now to srebrenica where crowds are gathering. we want to show you news live pictures of this moment from that memorial that was happening. more than 8,000 muslim men and boys were killed by bosnian and people are now taking a moment to remember such a terrible, terrible moment in history. the bones of 136 newly identified victims were just buried today. we are joined now now live from the memorial ceremony

christian? >> george president clinton and his delegation have just arrived and they're meeting with somer the family members and mourners. and president clinton will be among the speakers. what happened here was during the first adminitration of president clinton and after the west refused to intervene, srebrenica launched the diplomatic effort that ended the war. people here are grateful and wish there had been an intervention earlier. so as i mention there'd be l be 136 other sets of remains buried here in a couple hours. you see some of the mounds some of the people standing around in

the midst of many of the gravestones that remain. and the remains of the people top soil be discovered. they were interred in mass depraves graves. and it took a long time to exhume the graves and the identification process has been long laborious, and pain staking. what happened here was a genocide that was the worst of it's kind in europe since the nazis in world war ii. in the '90s, it really stole headlines mostly because the united nations turned away. this is incredibly important. we have just been speaking again

to some family members that say they're glad that certain steps have been taken. . that crimes are being prosecuted. that the ring leaders are being prosecuted. the forces that stormed this area 20 years ago and orchestrate the worst massacre ever seen and also the political leader of the bosnian bosnian serbs. >> is this -- certainly it is a moment that you know that lends lessons for the world, but in your mind having reported on this extensively, what are the take aways? >> well george one of the most important things that we reported on throughout the war

is that we showed the world what was happening. we showed the world the intentions of the bosnian serbs, and we did warn what were the intentions of the bosnian serbs. they tried to say it was a terrible civil war with all sides guilty and that was not true. this is very important. if you go to various towns and villages perhaps we are forget that there were laws that started to be put against the muslims. things that remind us of what the nazis did to the jews attacking centers of learning and scholarship.

there was concentration camps. there was, you know, sieges. 10,000 civilians were killed. that is apart from the 8,000 men and boys. there is 8,000 estimated killed. and just to show you the brutality of what happened the youngest remains that will be buried here today, we're told are of a 16-year-old. they were minors who were quilled. minors. people who were young boys teenagers, and kids. the oldest person to have been killed that will be buried today was born in 1920. they were old men, not military people. they were men and boys and civilians. that was the point of this war, it was not a war of army against army. it was a heavily armed force

against civilians to clear this area and try to keep that territory for the serbs and serbia itself. that's why it was such a terrible experiment and that the world let it happen for so long. finally this town and what happened in this village was the tipping point and caused the administration to say no more we will bomb the two positions, and beyond that we will organize a piece process and peace keepers. to this day the peace has held but the politics industrial to be divided. it cemented the ethnic divides. they have not been able to get over that yet. and institutions to survive and have a chance, and some sort of economic activity it is some of the poorest places in europe.

it is still on life support all of these years later. there has to be a new political reality for bosnia. >> christiane amanpour. thank you, we will continue to follow events there today. now to greece, now that the prime minister has the backing, they say they're in better position to negotiate with creditors creditors. the european union official says says grease' proposal are a basis for negotiation. nicholas from new york university's sterns school of business says this may be greece's best option. >> it is not optimal, it's not the best but given the alternative, it is very good.

let me explain. the alternative is for greece to leave the euro. and that would be a total disaster for greece. the banks would collapse. people would lose their deposits in the bank. they would all be terrible things. it is not perfect, it has too much taxation and not enough cutting of spending if is high spending low taxation. never the less given the circumstances, that deal is much better than the alternative. additionally it is the hope that all european nations will agree to a reduction of the debt burden through an elongation over the maturities of a very

big debt. >> that is soon to be in the hand of european creditors to decide what is next. you're watching the cnn news room. one of the pope's former ambassadors is facing child criminal sex charges. on ancestry i was really surprised that i wasn't finding all of these germans in my tree. i decided to have my dna tested through ancestry dna. the big surprise was we're not german at all. 52% of my dna comes from scotland and ireland. so, i traded in my lederhosen for a kilt. ancestry has many paths to discovering your story. get started for free at ancestry.com. what to do when you're stranded in a city and you need a last minute hotel? a priceline tonight only deal! stuck out on the range? nowhere to rest your beard? choose from thousands of hand-picked hotel deals at the very last minute. only on your phone. only from priceline.

welcome back to the cnn news room. in the vatican city a high profile pedophile trial is under way. a pope who was scheduled to appear in court in the last hour is now in intensive care. let's go to delia live in rome. >> we were all ready for the trial to begin and we received the nice that highway as been taken to the hospital.

this is a high profile court day. the court has adjourned. the vatican is working as we speak, and we'll let you know what decisions have been taken in regard to the trial in the next hour. mr. wesolowski has already been removed, this is a criminal trial. it is criminal charges she bringing brought up on. one was the abuse of minors in the years 2008 and 2013 and the possession of child pornography that the vatican says was after he was called to roam by the hope in 2013. the time line is that when he was recalled to rome in 2013 he was here for a year and then he was placed under house arrest in

september of 2014 and held inside the vatican. so this is important because he is being brought up in front of three judges not priests. they work at the vatican in this tribunal that will consider the two charges against him that carry a maximum penalty of nine years give or take. it is up to the judge's discretion. if he is convicted it is hikely that he will serve time in an italian jail. the vatican only has a small cell not intended for long-term use. we will wait and see exactly

when this trial will begin, george. >> delia gallagher, thank you for your reporting and we'll say in touch to see what happens next. now to the threat from isis. an australian report says that two pilots may have been influenced. the 9/11 attacks. the german wings crash. examples of what happens when the wrong person takes control of a commercial plane. australian authorities are concerned about the potential radicalization of two indonesian pilots. the report says both appear to be influenced by pro i.s. one of the pilots last september was starting to post pro isis

messages on social media and listed his current city as being in syria. an isis stronghold. a u.s. counter terrorism official says isis has called for professionals. >> they need mechanics, having pilots as well is probably someone in their designs. they would be worth much more if they kept their activities covert rather than overstatements of support. there is no evidence so far that isis recruited either of the two pilots. one sent messages to indonesian media denying ties to isis. could a training commercial pilot with terrorist leanings

infiltrate the commercial flight industry. >> they know the aircraft the systems, and are intimate with the aircraft itself but for security procedures we have been trained with various verbal codes and thing that's duo as pie -- do as pilots if there is a nefarious act occurring. >> indonesia's national police chief shows that the two pilots are not directly involved with isis but he also says they often post about isi srgs on facebook and they are sympathizers. they have asked for more information on the two pilots. brian todd cnn, washington. you're watching cnn news room. we'll have more news after this short break.

moving now to sports and the

women's wimbledon final is starting today. it looks like a mismatch on paper, but as aaron hawksworth explains serena williams is not taking her opponent lightly. >> after easily beating maria sharapova, 33-year-old serena williams is on her way to winning her fourth consecutive major. her opponent today is spanish muguruza who has an impressive win against serena in last year's second round of the french open. >> she has a win against me. it was a tough match the last time we played and she has given me problems in the past. this time i have to just go in it like have fun and do the best they can and just try to stay positive and focused. >> focus has not been a problem for serena who has one singles
