welcome to the program on nick spicer 25 years ago today serb forces captured the bosnian town of cyber needs and carried out europe's worst massacre since the 2nd world war a ceremony was held to remember the thousands of muslims killed serb general ratko blood it was eventually convicted of war crimes and genocide but the families of the victims say they are still far from closure. the bosnian national anthem played at a ceremony to remember the fountains of muslims killed on this day. the commemorations had to be scaled back to coronavirus the world leaders like former u.s. president bill clinton who was in office at the time of the genocide contributed via video message. it has been profoundly moving. at every

town every opportunity to continue their mum who watched those across the world who grieve for the family rows kill to support the ongoing efforts of sing justice those lost they recover their remains and bring them home many relatives of the victims haven't found closure forensic experts still haven't dug out and completed work on all the remains newly identified victims a buried each year on july 11th in the memorial cemetery at port of sorry just outside celebrity it said yes i'm getting there get it finished but i buried my son in 2013 there were only 2 bones which i had hoped that more would be found but nothing has been so far i still hope they'll be something that they will find i'm not the tribute that 1st son arch or the sun here i am with the remains of my father died murdered in the genocide of july 11th 1905.

it's the only crime in europe since world war 2 there's been declared a genocide and while many bosnian serbs continue to deny the extent of the massacre the increasing amount of white gravestones confirms the scale of the suffering. and earlier we spoke to valerie hopkins of the financial times instead benita and i asked her how the genocide is being seen 25 years on i'm just back from the graveyard and it was quite emotional all the people who were not only missing or the family members of the lost during the genocide but also the people who could not come today to mourn with them and they were still several 1000 people there in attendance on to commemorate that they're dead and the 9 people who were buried today that have been found of my last year. but they also remember the 1000 people

whose bodies have still not been found when i speak about a regional or even a local context is located in what was called during the war and still now the rebel because it and its leadership and actually the mayor of servants and is an ethnic slur also have not acknowledged. do not use the word genocide you know extend the crimes that were committed here so that's quite painful for many of the people the u.n. security council is to hold another vote on whether to extend humanitarian aid deliveries into syria and earlier attempt was vetoed by russia and china aid agencies had previously been allowed to bring food and supplies over the turkish border to the rebel held provinces of live and aleppo the new proposal would provide a single access point humanitarian groups say cutting off aid could spell disaster for millions of civilians. youssef also fled to northern syria with his wife

they've been here for 5 months they have sold almost all of their possessions to get money to buy essential us and i'm not about senator we're 60 to 70 percent dependent on the aid delivery. it always depends on the situation you find yourself in there is no work here so the aid packages are often all we have in the difficult conditions here in the camps that. most of the displaced people here have no financial reserves left. like a deal for his wife and their 6 children. the family is completely dependent on outside aid. for. more of these food packages last for about 20 days your money. it's enough for us thank god the. work of we are relying on god and the aid that comes to us from the donors.

the aid is transported to the refugees across turkish syrian border posts that is allowed turkey to massively expand its influence. a few months ago the turkish lira began to replace the syrian pound which had dropped dramatically in value. everything is becoming more expensive for the people here turkish companies are doing lucrative business for example selling petrol from turkey paid for in turkish lira syrian president bashar assad believes turkey is consolidating a defacto turkish enclave in northern syria assad wants to close all of the border crossing points to turkey. already only 2 of the 4 crossings are open. the assad government wants to distribute aid across the country itself to regain control but the refugees fear that little or no aid would arrive they are afraid of being starved out. if you can satisfy your

daily needs that's one thing the holiday season means a slow death a death were no blood flows. despite their desperate situation the people here still hope to be able to escape and provide a future for their children. the american president donald trump has commuted the prison sentence of his long time friend and former aide roger stone he was convicted of lying to congress and witness tampering during the investigation into alleged russian interference in the 2016 u.s. presidential race the move has been met with fierce criticism from his political opponents but. he has reason to celebrate only days before a vote just stone was to begin a 14 month prison sentence his friend donald trump came to his aid the president has said numerous occasions that he thought there's
