main party in turkey but it is continuing to hemorrhage folks at alarming rate so this move i think is very much seen as consolidating both his religious and nationalist base especially important given the fact that are in the last few months 2 former ministers of earth once had set up center right parties which are seen as a major threat to his voting base this is all about changing the conversation away from the economy and consolidating his voting constituency. adoring as we mentioned the fear is one of his doubles most iconic buildings let's take a quick look at the legacy of the u.s. school world heritage site. empires have fallen religions have been replaced the city itself has changed names but the dome of the higher sophia has withstood it all built in the 6th century as a byzantine church it was for centuries the world's largest christian cathedral.

will really many ways 15 with heard once the gender of consolidating its nationalist base pointing out again that turkey is surrounded by enemies and this will be i think one see as a further move in strengthening his base by taking positions to convert the i saw fear into a mosque so what will happen next i feel when can we expect to see the 1st worshipers that well that's the big question of when was very quick to sign your phrase ation to turn it into a mass it's unclear when the 1st worshipping will be allowed possibly july the 15th that is the anniversary of the failed coup attempt to gain certain one he uses that to consolidate his base usually culminating with a major gesture prayers in the ice off here could be that major spectacle that he has in mind but there's a big question over what will happen to the magnificent a mosaic depicting the christ the virgin mary by 17 kings considered some of the greatest in the world according to islamic doctrine you cannot pray in the front of
5:07 pm
in front of figurative fed representations big question is how will they cover those those mosaics and that is the big question of the international community and the christian world as well as many other lovers of the i saw feel dorian jones reporting from istanbul that thank you bosnia and herzegovina marking 25 years since this river and its genocide more than 8000 people were killed in the massacre there united nations secretary general antonio wood terrorist space tributes to the victims and pledged to never forget the victims the sort of elites of genocide was the worst atrocities crime on european soil since the 2nd world war. 25 years later we pay tribute to the thousands brutally murdered and pledge to never forget them we share the grief of their families including those whose family members are still missing and we reaffirm our slowly very he

5:09 pm
to force the population out of their homes to make their opponents surrender. in july of 95 general ragon lot of later convicted of war crimes and genocide and roots for bringing the separation between life and death began. as said get them abroad used them one day put 2 tanks facing each other and people had to walk through then they started charging people old women and children on one side young women on the other fort and entertainment at night. because the men were taken away even little boys from the age of 8 even 90 year olds. was carted so severely devastated godliness that it. an estimated 8000 men and boys were shot in the following days.
5:10 pm
lost his father and spread bernita he often imagines his final moments before he got shot. put did he feel hungry did he feel 1st. if he was conscious did he think about us his family did anything give him strength we're going to pass. in 2005 to remains of his father were dented 5 in 3 different mass graves thanks to d.n.a. tests before the burial he insisted on seeing them and recognized his father skull . than. you got arrested in when remains are found they are often already charred and decomposed very reason. about was all men. but that makes the teeth stand out more in contrast and i recognized my father
5:11 pm
smile. from my new father. yeah in july 95 women and children left fred bring it up under the eyes of serving forces. to slim ziad was amongst them but on her way out she would know something she will never be able to forget assume put them some toys or whatever friends of mine try to scape but the soldiers caught them and drag them back to the street they wanted everyone to see what happens to those who try to escape they took them and then shot them right in front of me they were like family to me i'm still right most but not some really we shared family. just like demi clear judge she lives with trauma to this day but still the smell of roses lives on and reminds her of her farm the peaceful you've inspired parineeta. not on in the studio by molina bought actually
5:12 pm
is a journalist here in berlin was she was born a bosnian muslim and came to germany as a refugee from the war welcome to the studio 25 years after this genocide what does this common aeration mean for you. well for me it's a very important moment because now finally the rest of the world is paying attention to serve and suffer for one or 2 days for the people in bosnia at least the boston muslims it's an ongoing struggle it's not even something we remember it's something we live with every day because there's so many people traumatized so many people living with disabilities because of the war there's so much genocide denial so many war criminals still walking around freely for us it's not even the past you said genocide denial what does that mean well genocide denial is just the last step of genocide so it's a crucial part of it it's a very very dangerous thing for example all the far right terrorists all
5:13 pm
over the world they are inspired by the genocide against boston and muslims of course it's part of their ideology so the guy who killed people in iowa and in christ church even here in germany and holland munich they were all inspired by the boston genocide so that's why it's very important to listen to bosnian muslims because if the deaths of bosniaks are ignored then they can turn into the deaths of people all over the world through these far right people what echoes are there still from srebrenica into days of politics in boston as will be the well boss now was kind of forced into a peace agreement just to end the genocide which separated power 2 or 3 groups for snacks so bosnian muslims and bosnian serbs and croats and it separated the country into a boston federation where muslims and croats live and the so-called republika srpska
5:14 pm
which is predominantly serb and which is where most of the genocide happened and now this part is alleged completely by genocide deniers by separatists and it's very difficult for people to even return to their homes i'm also from this part of the country but i can't go by. because i just drove past one time in my life after the war and there was a giant poster of the convicted genocidal mass murderer my bitch on the city hall so it's very difficult and also in serbia the president of serbia and the entire political leadership also deny the genocide and many of them were even part of milosevic the regime are you worried with what you've just described to me are you worried that something like the genocide in srebrenica 25 years ago could happen again of course it's a daily topic in bosnia because now because we have 3 presidents and one of them is one of these serbs separatists who also denies genocide or even openly celebrates
5:15 pm
celebrates a tomorrow he'll do it he will be throwing a party for it a party to celebrate the. liberation of starving suffering muslims. and so. whenever we listen to those people speak whenever they say oh we're going to try to make a separate country or something we know that if they really did try that there would be another war and another aggression. journalist living here in berlin thank you very much for coming in on this very special day. fee now here are some of the other stories making headlines around the world today the dutch government is taking russia to the european court of human rights for its alleged role in the downing of malaysia airlines flight 17 over eastern ukraine 6 years ago the foreign minister said his country wants justice for the 298 victims killed when the plane was hit by a surface to air missile. the european union has unveiled compromise proposals for

the village children in their own parents can no longer control them. the young people have taken up arms also the soldiers don't draw distinction anymore they see every single falana child as a jihadi. that. the prejudice that makes people see children as jihad is because of their muslim background is widespread extremists exploit the mistrust and hatred for their own ends. this camp looks the same but it's on the dogan part of town they've been caught in the other side of the same spiral of violence. here . who would tell you he lost everything when attackers came to her farm. wagon and they killed 10 people in a single day then the next day they killed 5. on the 3rd day they came back and took our livestock and their cattle go it's everything. you know no.
