this is deja vu news live from berlin 25 years on from europe's worst atrocities since the 2nd world war. thousands of bosnian muslims were killed in the stripper needs a massacre on this day in the 1995 the world remembers the victims also coming up. roger stone walks free after u.s. president donald trump cancels his friend's jail term stone was found guilty of lying to congress.

i'm max foster welcome to the program 25 years ago today serb forces captured the bosnian town of stubbornness and carried out europe's worst massacre since the 2nd world war a ceremony was held there to remember the thousands of muslims killed serb general ratko was eventually convicted of war crimes and genocide but the families of the victims say they are still not at peace. 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 each of the coronavirus but world leaders like former u.s. president bill clinton who was in office at the time of the genocide contributed via video message. it is been profoundly moving. at every

town every opportunity to continue their mum who are still those across the world who grieve for the family room still to support the ongoing efforts of sing justice those lost recover their remains and bring them home to the european leaders also sent their condolences via video link in and us live to the remember ins of the pain and suffering is a crucial element for reconciliation as is criminal accountability because. 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 a sorry just outside celebrity it said yes i'm getting there get it finished before i buried my son in 2013 there were only 2 bones that 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 so much oh yes and 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. i don't join a studio now but millionaire bore charkha journalist you fled the conflict in bosnia as a child what do you make of all the high level involved including bill clinton we just saw. well we're happy that people are speaking out right now but we remember that a lot of those same politicians were also around at the time it was all happening

and some of them had the power to stop it it was actually very easy to stop and there were no nato planes flying around servants so we're thinking if they didn't step up then then maybe they should step up now if they say that they know what happened then they should put pressure on serbia to recognize the genocide and take all necessary steps can you just help me understand how much this is actually accepted the genocide in the region does everybody agree what happened. well it's like 2 parallel universes of course those of us next the person in muslims know the facts it was proven by so many courts it was the biggest forensic identification operation in the history of the world it's one of the best documented genocides so there's no problem but then under serbs that there's almost a 100 percent of people who deny it the entire political leadership of serbia including the president denies it and if you ask them they will not deny it

outright because they also deny their denial so they will say things like i was a tragedy but they'll never use the word genocide which means something that's come back to the people who were at that ceremony today that we just saw in the report the relatives of the victims the survivors what can the world offer them beyond the remains of their loved ones and events like these well one thing that's very important would be to take steps to recognize the genocide and to make genocide denial a crime as we already have with the holocaust for example which is great. and that would be very great for the victims until also have education about genocide in schools and also offer steps to educate adults about thing and to talk about it more in the media because this genocide tonight is very dangerous but it's also very difficult to recognize if you don't know enough about the region so there has

to be a lot of steps taken ok moving abortion i thank you so much for that insight on this time aeration 25 years on into. time now to take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world security forces in mali have detained 2 leaders of violent anti-government protests 4 people died during the recent unrest demonstrators blocked streets attacked the parliament building and stormed the state t.v. broadcaster there demanding that president. resign. bollywood legend i mean china has been hospitalized with coke at 19 in his home city of mumbai 77 year old announced his diagnosis on twitter affectionately known as big b. shot to fame in the early seventies with films such as year and show late u.s. president donald trump has commuted the prison sentence of his longtime friend and

former aide roger stone stone appears paired with supporters to celebrate the president's decision was due to begin his 40 month prison term on tuesday after being convicted of lying to congress and witness tampering during an investigation into alleged russian interference in the 2016 u.s. presidential race. and for more on this let's bring in our correspondent carla blacker in washington carla how is washington reacting to this news. well as we have heard democrats are outraged about the president pardoning someone who lied to protect with republicans the case isn't quite as clear they're not as unified you have roger stone fans if you will or supporters who have asked for this very thing back at his sentencing hearing in february and rolling a large poster saying pardon roger stone and you also have influential senators here in d.c. like lindsey graham who was saying this was

a justified act president trump did well after all roger stone was in the seventies and this was a 1st time nonviolent offense you also have a republican so i never were quite critical like for example mitt romney he is calling those an act of unprecedented his store of corruption and do you think any voters may be feeling the same way come november in the u.s. presidential election other words is this going to have any effect on the race well word from the white house is trump's advisers have warned him against those step of pardoning stone for that very reason they fear could negatively influence of chances of re-election now with staunch supporters that's highly unlikely if something like his impeachment didn't make it and neither is going neither will the pardoning of roger stone but with other voters who have already taken

a step back from trump and who aren't happy with how he's handling the coronavirus crisis this could be another factor that either has to stay home come november or maybe even vote for a democratic candidate joe biden ok carlos blanker in washington thanks for that. poland well that the president in a runoff on sunday populist incumbent. just positions himself as a defender of conservative family values his main challenger is the liberal pro european mayor of warsaw opinion polls are showing a very tight race conservative versus liberal big city versus countryside poland is divided. is a community of 8000 people in central poland most here work in agriculture the town is a bastion of support for incumbent president i'm jay do the people here say things have gotten better under his party did to the statement that i have 2 children and

i get child support during the drought we got 8000 euros that was a great help and there's also more money for the animals yes this. is what it does it isn't opposition candidate rafael just called skeet has also made extravagant campaign promises he's courting the youth vote. i propose a grant program for the 50000 best and most talented young people from towns and villages so they can develop their abilities and get a shot at an education from the best schools and universities. just cos he appeals to people who are disappointed by the incumbent president. so in watching me at how was i going my son just went to holland as well because his apprenticeship from the employment office paid only 240 euro some months that's what kind of salary is that for working 8 hours

a day and president do talks about opportunities for young people their only chance is to go abroad that's it hundreds of people come out to see and to me as mayor in towns like russia. but due to the incumbent attraction crowds of thousands of people who don't want things to change they're satisfied with the child support extra subsidies for pensions and tax cuts he's provided not. no law that restricts or liquidate such benefits will be signed by me you can be assured of that. due to is confident of victory but it looks to be a tight race cha-cha ski has the lead in liberal cities victory in sunday's elections may well be decided by a handful of votes. hundreds of black lives matter supporters have marched through central london demanding change demonstrators chanted enough is enough and we want justice as they rallied from the u.s. embassy to the british parliament. egypt has begun
