this is the w. news live from berlin from cathedral to mosque 2 museum now the economy as a fear is a muslim house of worship once again turkey's president formally changes the landmark back into a mosque just moments after the turkish coast gives its go ahead some international critics call the move a provocation. also coming up thousands of employees tens of millions of viewers now the biggest t.v. network in the philippines is silenced because voted against renewing the vote

costas franchise which regularly clashed with president would bring to the test. and remembering the victims. lists represent such genocide as 25 years later the w hears from survivors of the massacre who will never forget the pain no brutality of the some weeks when 8000 muslims were killed. welcome to the program turkey's president has announced that is tumbles high as a fear one of the architectural wonders of the world will be reopened for muslim worship is declaration comes off to turkey's highest of minister to court we vote the monument status as a museum clearing the way for 6 the 6th century byzantine building to be turned back into a mosque dozens of people have gathered outside the high as

a fear to celebrate the decision greece of the russian orthodox church of criticize the change while the united states and unesco earlier against altering its status. i'm now joined by news dorian jones in. what's behind this rededication. well ever since president heard one we came to power around 20 years ago he has flirted with the idea of turning the soft back into a mosque but why now well i think it's the economy the touch economy is in a very bad shape very badly hit by the cove in 1000 epidemic he's ruling a k p parties recording record lows in opinion polls albeit it is still remains the 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 or in the last few months 2 former ministers of the ones 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. as we mentioned the fear is one of istanbul's 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 almost a millennium later it was converted into an islamic mosque during the autumn an empire but in the 1930 s. it was turned into a museum under the founder of the modern turkish republic ataturk a symbol of the new secular state inclusive of all religions. since then it has

been a meeting point of many faiths but held by none a place where pope's and presidents have come to pay their respects and marvel at the architecture. the religion is a tool for president richard type of on he has overseen prayers in the museum and raised its status at local election rallies. i also feel a sense of i don't even know if as you know they converted the higher sophia from a mosque to a museum a while ago. now we hope to be able to call it a mosque again after the election. of the. islamic groups have fought to pray at the highest the fia angering neighboring greece which says the building is part of its all for ducks christian history unesco has warned turkey its conversion to a mosque could violate the world cultural heritage convention.

a flashpoint of religious and national struggle the highest the fear will remain an icon of istanbul. a highly symbolic building dorie and one of the reactions today. well her actions have been swift internationally the greek culture minister lena men dhoni described as a provocation against the civilized world while the russian orthodox church express regret and warn that it could lead to greater divisions this also comes at a time when washington and moscow this week to warn against such moves but this will really many ways 15 with heard one say gender of consolidating its nationalist base pointing out again that turkey is surrounded by enemies and this will he 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 a big question heard on 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 kings considered some of the greatest in the world according to islamic doctrine you cannot pray in the front of in front of figurative fair representation the 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 ice off here. reporting from istanbul that thank you. later on friday the u.n.

security council is due to vote on a resolution that will impact the lives of millions of syrians aid agencies are con be allowed to transport food and other vital supplies to rebel held areas via 2 crossings on the border with turkey but russia appears sets to veto a resolution allowing the deliveries to continue on the grounds that it violates syrian sovereignty the u.n. says cutting off the it could lead to the deciles tens of thousands of people. not only to fulfill 2 deliveries a lifesaver for the 40 families who found shelter here on the turkish border. they've fled homes destroyed by airstrikes very few of them have enough money for food they'd be lost without help from outside. it's one thing to be bombarded by fighter jets and to be locked in without food is much worse it's a slow bloodless death. almost 3000000 people in northwest syria depend

on food aid like this. that the trucks bring it in over the border between turkey and live the last rebel stronghold in syria without approval from the syrian regime protected by a un resolution. but that resolution expires at midnight friday. jenny and for families here the situation is virtually impossible when. they have nothing besides these aid deliveries. if they stop it will be a catastrophe. i'm sure of that with us a little bit since in the famine looms if the u.n. security council fails to renew the aid resolution of the syrian government's main ally on the security council russia will likely only approve a temporary measure too little to provide for the millions of people in need. for more on the situation on the ground. let's bring in ali he's the program manager

for the horace child protection network a partner of save the children operates inside syria he joins us from the city off guard in turkey a 1st date can you explain how the delivery of aid works at the moment and who is receiving these supplies yes thank you for having me answering a light on this important issue. brought up the borders and across the border relations is the only lifeline for the population in syria we're looking we're talking about as seen many in the bill 115 of which are internally displaced and they're battling every day is out and it's resources it's more like an infrastructure over prison really and the only way to get what's needed lifesaving aid is through the borders along to not only to the northwest of syria so this is really alarming for us as early as last night news 1st of all 19 case was

confirmed in the northwest in one of the health facilities so this is the complexity of the situation and the population there is really did land and on that there is still are now it's time to put aside it was political as you know isn't really 4 years on how we come together so we can say you know what it means in this in this prison but if the security council resolution fails how will this affect people on the ground in syria northwest particularly the children that. the immediate impact will be a house and a vaccination that is needed for the injured for the children the health facilities and the resources needed to combat just invested infectious disease food and lucian a lot of the population is not in concert thing and rely on the. order so you can just imagine how disastrous the situation would be if there was

a delay or stop most needed lifesaving aid or medicines or it was crawling disease or isolation for children we're looking at exaggeration where tens and tens of thousands of people might die because of. just about to ask you that the you mentioned the 1st caucus has been diagnosed and northwest answer is the region in any way prepared to cope with a possible spread of the pandemic. i mean i mean any tell you there are 150 i.c.u. intensive care units in order of the northwest with almost 140 or 40 of insulators that are already at full capacity used by a patients that i'm calling 19 so if you are doing and why is she in an older color place with very limited resources to be able to do social distancing or personalizing what is it is an issue or a little bit of

a mosque is an issue and you can add the complexity of all of the population is or at least slow getting in there today i wouldn't for example someone residing in a tent with a bucket of water the blacklisting social distancing and personalizing without the support without the water and more facilities and as the board days organizations are wired so i think that is basically no hope in terms of the health care response our list still whole if we if we manage to continue to provide aid needed for the population to respond and rely on their sons in in social distancing and in the lane or in the dallas and even to civilians in the northwest a lot as a program manager for serious child protection network thank you very much thank you for having. now here are some of the other stories making headlines around the world this hour serbia's president alexander. said that efforts by germany and

full lani herdsman mostly muslims they came with what cattle they could rescue the families here are victims of the tit for tat attacks between their people and the dog and farmers hundreds have been killed on both sides and the hatred runs deep. there was a dispute before that people sorted out but now the evil in our midst has reached the village children their own parents can no longer control than. the young people have taken up arms also the soldiers don't draw distinction in all this in every single falana child as a jihadi. 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 dogon part

of town they've been caught in the other side of the same spiral of violence. here . who would tell you lost everything when i attack us came to her farm. where. they killed 10 people in a single day. the next day they killed 5. on the 3rd day they came back and took our livestock and their cattle go it's everything. in the night. many people in mali are more concerned with the government they see as corrupt and incapable of fixing the weak economy tens of thousands have demonstrated for better conditions as well as an end to conflict muslim cleric mahmoud dicko is a leading member of the opposition on the no this is exactly what we have denounced we can't be complacent about the government leaders who got us into this situation

had a happy life but then yugoslavia fell apart serbian forces shelled the town and tried to stuff its residents out now i go to. the mornings where the worst every day is not even one am i had children in front of my house begging him they wanted something to eat but we didn't have anything ourselves nothing that i wanted to go . between 93 and 95 the fighting would be in sirte forces and bosnian militias intensified the serbs were trying to force the population out of their homes to make their opponents surrender. in july 1005 generac go a lot of later convicted of war crimes and genocide and roots forever need the separation between life and death began. and 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. all the men were taken away even little boys from the age of 8 even 90 year olds which got to really devastated god you know study on. an estimated 8000 men and boys were shot in the following days. lost his father and. he often imagines his final moments before he got shot. at the point did he feel hungry did he feel 1st. if he was conscious did he think about it as his family did anything give him

strength we're going to crack. in 20053 manes of his father very gentle 5 in 3 different mass graves thanks to d.n.a. tests before the burial he insisted on seeing them and recognized his father's skull. when you got arrested him when remains are found they are often already charred and decomposed. about was all me. but that makes the teeth stand out more in contrast and i recognized my father smile. when my new father. in july 95 women and children left for every needs are under the eyes of serbian forces. to loose limbs yeah it was amongst them but on her way out she witnessed something she will never be able to forget assume put them send stories about our 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 wagner strive not so many believe me she had family. just like demi clergy she lives with the trauma to this day but still the smell of roses lives on and reminds her of her farm a peaceful you've inspired parineeta well i'm not alone in the studio by molina bots actually is a journalist here in berlin was she was born a bosnian muslim and came to germany as a refugee from the war millionaire welcome to the studio 25 years after this genocide what does this common ration 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 bustin 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 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 the tire and in christ church even here in germany and holland munich they were all inspired by the bosnian 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 in today's politics in bosnia herzegovina well bosnia was kind of forced into a peace agreement just to end the genocide which separated power 2 or 3 groups for snacks so bustin muslims and bosnian serbs and croats and it separated the country into a bustling federation where muslims and croats live and the so-called republika srpska 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 back. 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 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 celebrate celebrate there tomorrow he'll will he will be throwing a party for it a party to celebrate the. liberation of serving stuff from 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
