a few more details about that report. apparently, 3 years before this happened to a consultant found alarming evidence of major structural damage in that same building. the building is 40 years old and the engineers report showed plans for a very expensive multi $1000000.00 repair a project that was set to get underway soon. but this did not happen obviously, and the report detailed significant cracks and breaks in the concrete in the walls, which required repairs as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the residents and of the public around the building. now the mayor of miami dade county, or this building is announced a 30 day audit for all buildings that are 40 years and older i or the counties jurisdiction. britton's health minister has resigned over a breach of corona virus restrictions that he himself had implemented. and in

family enforced that hancock admitted breaking the rules after photos and a video emerged of him kissing and embracing an aide in his office. hancock had made regular appearances on television, telling people they must stick to the regulations. he thought he could ride out the controversy, hold on as britain's top health official, but i've been to see the prime minister to resign as secretary for health and social care. it was just such a bad look. those images of his alleged affair, no matter for the moment, he's a married father of 3, but he's been telling the entire country to mask up social distance. steer clear for the sake of saving lives for britons massively overburdened hospitals and for its health infrastructure. the social get the same rules of that for everyone. and that incredibly important and that is serious. then he was caught locking lips in the office and cctv shared to

a tabloid ones was about to this economy that and then to go on, break them for minute the tree as well as the stress waiting for the storm to die down was no longer an option, hancock conceded on saturday. i understand the enormous sacrifices that everybody in this country has made that you have made. and those of us who make these rules have gone to sick by them and that's why i've got to resign. hancock's replacement such a job, it is no, not for his health care background, but for his student as the case finance minister under boris johnson. until he resigned in february of 2020. during hancock's tenure, britain endured one of the world's highest official death tolls from the pandemic, but also saw a strong vaccination roll out. that last may now be overshadowed simply by

a feeling of betrayal. let's take a look now at some other stories making headlines around the world. the british government says it's investigating how classified defense documents were found by a member of the public at a bus stop. the papers discussed russia as possible reaction to britain's h. a mass defender warship traveling to ukrainian waters of crimea. the ministry of defense said an employee had reported losing the documents. tranche is voting in a 2nd round of regional elections that are seen as in barometer of next years. national poll. but the run off has again been marked by low participation. only around 13 percent of voters had turned out by mid day. that's only slightly higher than the record low rate. in the 1st round, a surgeon cases of the delta corona virus variant in bangladesh as led to a rush to flee the capital data ships at

a later terminal have been packed with people returning to rural areas. before a new lockdown takes effect tomorrow, friday saw their country 2nd highest depth told since the beginning of the 10 dennis to more catholic churches in indigenous communities in western canada have been destroyed in fires that authorities call suspicious. days ago, 2 other churches went up in flames. this comes after hundreds of unmarked graves were discovered at former indigenous boarding schools run by the church. a field of pink flags, all mocking the place where a gravestone should be. carol, who remembers being subjected to abuse at the merry val boarding school, was one of the luckier attendees. i feel like i want, i feel like that that they couldn't take the indian out to me. the, i feel that, that i lost nothing but my language. but i could gain that back,

didn't take everything they thought they were going to take from me, didn't take it. i still have it here. carol was one of the 150000 indigenous children false to attend christian schools in the name of assimilation. discouraged everything of our own culture of our own people. they didn't want us to practice our own. our own spiritual activity. discouraged, go or discouraged our son dancing. they discouraged their wasting. the physical and sexual abuse were rampant in the schools with thousands of children died. the cause was not recorded and more than half of the known deaths. the secrecy has caused trauma for many, only to be triggered again by the discovery of marybell's unmarked graves. uncovered with radar mapping. the sites a believe to have once been marked with gravestones that will later removed.

removing headstones is a crime in this country. and we are treating this like a crime scene at the moment. canada's prime minister apologized on behalf of the government after the discovery and called on the same from religious bodies. i have spoken personally, directly with his holiness po friend, says to impress upon him how important it is. not just that he makes an apology, but that he makes an apology to indigenous canadians on on canadian soil, the marybell excavations were launched after $215.00 school children's remains were found at a similar school back in may. the discoveries have encouraged 1st nations people to continue their search for more graves. the transition support now in the year 2020 earlier through to the quarter finals, but they needed extra time to get there. after scare against austria,

a hard fought 90 minutes ended goal this before, at least for twice an extra time. through federico, kinsey, and the tale sina sasha lady managed one for austria, but they couldn't find a 2nd and fell in a 21 defeat. in the earlier match, denmark became the 1st team to make it through to the quarter finals. after beating wales in the round of 16, striker casper doll berg scored in both have to set up the victory before the danes added to more late in the game tissue of fort nil when they'll now face the netherlands, or the czech republic in the last 8 for more on the euro, 2020 action. i'm joined now by max merrill from d w. sports match, italy had looked into printing form until that last game. what exactly happened? well yeah, after denmark cruise to victory, if we made it really difficult for themselves. and i think maybe part of that is because in the last group came, they made a changes that already qualified for the next round. maybe rest some legs. but that

can upset the rhythm, especially in a tournament like this. germany had that happened to them when they were knocked out by italy having rested, plays in the previous game in the previous tournament. 2012 rather. and you know, it's a big chances but couldn't convert an austria school the 1st go, which was this allowed. but then they showed patients and com showed they can play so called tournament football. and the 2 goals coming from 2 substitutes also shows they have that quality in depth in the squad. so you know, they also conceded the 1st golden, very liaison. so they had a little bit soluble and they have to be better next round because they're going to face either belgium or portugal. that will be a test. speaking of belgium, let's look ahead to the game today. we've got stores started belgium against the rating champions, portugal, how do you like belgium chances? well, you have to argue that they probably have one of the best squads in the tournament and they have looked good so far, 3 consecutive wins. the striker amended a cocker was in great form kevin bryan, who didn't start in the 1st 2 games due to

a face injuries now back and expected to start. and he's really the key man for them, but i don't think they're as good as they were in 2018 when they became 3rd at the world cup, especially defensively, little bit aging. but let's hear from the defensive lives in young baton going. if you see, if you see a portugal shirt on the street, it's 99 percent. it's a, it's a rinaldo shirt. so he's, he's the biggest player in the history of portugal. it's not belgium against the and all those belgium against portugal. and they have a lot of a lot of good players, a lot of of quality players and we do as well. so we will be ready. portugal would like to think that they're more than just about we're not all but face. so when most people think about the portuguese team, they think rinaldo, yes, they do. and i mean, on paper, they're not a one man team anymore. they, they vastly improve their squad since 2016 when they want it. so they were kind of my favorites going into the tournament, but so far i haven't looked cohesive, they've dropped through enough and under she had such

a great season in the premier league playing for manchester, united little bit more. steady. and the last much, i wonder what the coach will be up to in this game so hard to predict, just like netherlands check republic as well. coming up today that is max merrill d w. sports. thank you so much. i'll be watching tonight along with you soon. a williams has announce she will not be taking part in tokyo olympics saying there were several reasons for her decision. serina has one for olympic gold medals with the 1st coming all the way back at the 2000 games and sydney. she won 3 of those metals alongside her sister venus in the doubles several other stars have also said they will not travel to tokyo, including raphael, the dumb in formula one max for stop and has increased his lead in the championship standings after claiming victory in the sphere in grand prix and austria for stop and lead the res from start to finish ahead of raining world champion louis hamilton. the dutchman has now one back to back races,

and it's 18 points ahead of hamilton. in the standings. you're watching dw news up next is our documentary film entitled war on trial. it's about the quite the criminal tribunal for yugoslavia. i'll have more headlines as always for you at the top of the hour until then you can find much more news and analysis on our website . d, w dot com. i'm michael locus. thanks for watching the news. the green. do you feel worried about the i'm the host of the on the green fence part, we need to change join me for the green transformations for me to use for the plan.

ah. the me. in 1993, the united nations established an international war crimes tribunal for the former yugoslavia, the c t y in the hey so the 1st time in history was crimes committed on all sides of a conflict were brought to trial has international justice prevailed. can this tribunal be a model for the future? it was never an expectation. the presidents and leaders would be arrested. this tribunal gave the most powerful demonstration that no one is beyond the

reach of intern, and just how perpetrates right there. and they have to sit there and ask, listen to con, get up and shoot, because you're speaking about what they've done is the candidate, how do you plead, guilty or not guilty times to, to this institution is a force that the accused need not a trace of justice need to rule, we missed and that will be removed from the courtroom. sometimes i find myself wondering what justice we were able to serve, informing us. we served international justice, but did we do the right thing i

use do. reach out to do our full will for the last across from so for the last sentence, issue is atlanta. so 15 years in prison. so my mouse hit me. ah, it took me a long time to find myself. but i still didn't figure out completely why the biggest question, why? why did i do what i have down the almost everything that i look back my past,

it's always why. and it's very difficult. always to find the answers for everything . the syringe for many people and i told them that i fun during war and i really did spend time together together. we had girls together. we try and you know, basically everything that young man and want to have the, i had not thinking what you know, bad things can happen. ah . the disintegration of yugoslavia in 1991 led to a series of conflicts europe's deadliest since world war 2 more than one 130000 people died. at least 3000000 were displaced or became

refugees. it was in bosnia has to governor that most of the war. crimes were committed. part of the federal republic of yugoslavia, both knew was home to 3 if miss a teeth. the largest group with both in the acts, bosnian, muslims, followed by the serbs and croats. in 1992, the country became independent, but the bosnian serbs did not want to live in a muslim dominated country and formed their own state. they elected a national leader rather than cottage as president and took up arms against the post near government. the truth commanded by former general of the yugoslav army komatt. each the, the serb troops swiftly took control of much of boston in bosnia and crow as were

expelled from the conquered areas or killed in the media. the term ethnic cleansing soon took home. now in any will, civilians are possible to military call collateral damage. sure civilians die that they're not the main target. but in bosnia they were the main target. the target was to drive those who are not said out of areas which the says wanted to control. in may nice to was i since it was, and then i was 1st sorry i tripped. if i look back on it now sort of a fist as if you were living in a dream. the because

controlled the mansions over looking, sorry a but they could snipe down the streets. i knew immediately saw people running. nobody wants everybody around me and my colleagues killed. but i think the world's got to see, and the germans did their job and showing what was going on there. and then it's up to others to a couple of the governments of europe and the government of the united states sat back and essentially took the decision. we are not going to intervene. and this will, these bars and political talks have led nowhere and words until the western world

proves that has a true maintenance. and this will be to go to the well, your was. how are you? who did everyone used to watch the daily assault on 38th own tv showcase. it had become a sort of routine check, also validated the true shock came with images of the concentration camp. michelle need of a may see a 2 people behind barbed wire. you know, it was like seeing images of world war 2, but in color and about an hour and a half flight from paris. you know, i mean, publish a situation that cooled out the justice people. we've seen those images. i sit there and bells and the how and the other concentration camps when they were liberated in 1945. that had an impact, cry of because we seem to be doing nothing. and then d, u,

i came up with the idea of we should start a war crimes tribunal. and if you don't tell us an international tribunal will prosecute war crimes committed in the former yugoslavia and historic decision by the un security council. yesterday the 1st such tribunals in the nuremberg trials today, we begin to cleanse the hatred that has torn apart the former yugoslavia. a few months ago, i said this will be no victor's tribunal. the only victor that will prevail in this endeavor is the truth. we must now move without delay to the next steps, particularly the appointment of the prosecutor and the selection of judges. finally, of this, we are certain the tribunal must succeed for the sake of the victims and for the credibility of international law in this new era. thank you very much, was present until the end of the latter part of the 900 century. the

concept preventing was in any other way than by taking the spoils. victory was never even social. you have the beginnings of international justice within new trials, imperfect because they only look to one side of the conflict, but nevertheless, they were very efficient in bringing people just as quickly decisively pictorially, go and ask your friends, show them a picture of varying sitting in the dock, 90 percent will know what it is and then it stopped because of the cold war america. and yet now the what was happening with the agent orange county bombing. they were wilcox, it has america being brought down by the utah

tribunal has completely changed the way people think. because now if you show a conflict, they're likely to say will send him for trial because there's an expectation that bad people doing bad things in horrible conflicts. get tried, but that's only 25 years ago. in 1993, the hague became the home of the new tribunal. judges, investigators and prosecutors were recruited from across the world to bring accused war criminals from the former yugoslavia to trial. he had masses of material from the form you could, flavio and material was coming in all the time. so we had to figure out what we had and when you think you want to go well and help start the conflict and somebody saying, organize your papers, set up your computer files. it's a hard thing to understand.

the word people from the united states and from great britain and italy all over the world and the the atmosphere among those folks was it was high energy and a certain amount of excitement though excitement with a bit of a smile because no one thought we would be able to do anything. the meanwhile, the war continued in bosnia, cro, s, and bosnia x had also formed their own armies. the 3 of the cities were now fighting each other and civilians on all sides became victims.

during the war i think it was inconceivable to any of the major actors there. but any one of the rest of the world that any of those people would ever be hell we can i talk to those cottages and manage and mention the fact that they were going to start an international war crimes tribunal for us. and did they both fear that they would be made defendants that wiped it away? absolutely. but did not take it seriously. much to know what i'm doing is i'm defending my own people that will stand up in a closer look in the room that traditionally, you know, just by the time you know, i've done it in the gap in the bosnian countryside, the ethnic cleansing continued many balls and the acts removed from the villagers

found refuge in sibley and it's a small enclave, surrounded by serb troops, some 40000 people gather their isolated from the rest of the world. died on substance abuse of the little i did that day. i realized where i brought my children into a kind of vicious circle where we had no way out. we had nothing to eat, nothing to drink, name of the day, it was hopeless. in 1993, a un contingent was 77. it's a to bring humanitarian aid to the civilian population. the good did for the week one week 7 solution with a 1st convoy arrived and 70 to leave me. the tears were falling like rain from my

eyes lost. somebody had remembered that we existed after hearing that situation was not given up any hope for me and my children. when the convoy came, it was like light at the end of a tunnel for sign of hope that we would survive and that somehow things would get better and that should be to bowie. the when jean with the very 1st come boy of you in the command general movie itself. once it's chevron is for to see the situation. they surrounded moly oh i wouldn't let him leave. and then he declared that he was going to be a safe 8th. don't know the news, you use those words. you put everybody on the spot because you it is all of us. it's all the jobs of the world. we've declared that place to be safe and under un

protection clearly was false from it's all and then we'll have those came my friends, another boy learning around i remember the discussion amongst people, most my parents that will have a came if not to protect us, but at least to help us and it was only later, i didn't realize that they came here to just observe our attention unfortunately. ah, the troop of un peacekeepers,

blue helmets had been assigned to protect separate. and if they were just a few 100 of them, and they weren't well equipped after 2 years of siege in july 1995 general market she launched and offensive against the enclave. the buzz me i tried to fight back, but they were quickly over run by the truth. the un blue helmets put up no resistance or how much it was to check for me to several they may they let me know that they go free just rated to be to be killed. the general murdered us.

that's colonel tom cutter months, who was commanding the un peacekeepers inscribed. and it's to organize a meeting with representatives of the bosnian muslims who missed. and less than not. is it an option in the seamless cause good to be supposed to dismantle is for all the men of military

age, though they shouldn't surrender to the balmy. they fled to the forest precaution. the father he's saying to me, it's up to you. you'll have to make a decision to go with me or with your mother. ah, down to the motion of me. there was no time to think. mitchell who she said, you know, she didn't even have time to thanks bye to my boys. everyone just started going the number of some of the world leaders told that women children and the elderly should go to the u. n. base he to school, he would after 2 days and then we were put on the list for sale. on the over the course of 2 days,

the serbs forcibly removed over 30000 women, children and elderly men to refugee camps in territory controlled by the bosnian government. there was no trace of the 8000 men who had tried to escape from it. so through the forest don't nobody knew what had happened to the men. however, the journalists who had been covering the war since 992, said that a missing man is a dead man. the duty to keep a small team was sent to question the refugees. that threat. bernita no no present. all the while i was very glad to be there and to get to work on the moon even about usual. we arrived the 10 days after the fall of the enclave,

and soon people started to arrive, who declared that they had survived mass execution. if you so much the the i've always had the age of let's 7030, my father. and i just wanted to save my life. we just have arrived in the mass in this moment showing started

i just the right that they showed the summer and under the trees. and in the moment i lost my father. and i just remember i was calling in rain. i never, i never found him. and i just remember late the calling and the invitation from the neighbor calling gus that ended at the get out to do to dig do some either says about coca. he was, he does the

go on a lot better member than the let's say that. and then at the last the voice and they get out of this list of the little percentage levels and that's that's a good night. the trucks are on the road from us. i remember that there was a loaded in the last one.

ah, i could see, let the people know partners and about can eat, and many of them are looking, you know, on the dig can say that they didn't authorize the occasion for my kitchen. i could hear fire all the time and they said that the lead stock in, in groups of 5 people, america are morning and i know it is grown and then money's in front of me. everything was happening so far.

it was a matter of seconds. they opened the fire and i don't remember when i was hit on on my stomach, i was shooting under her and one on the soldiers saying the other you will check who has worn by the we shouldn't be here one more moment to minister in front of my eyes and then closing my eyes, waiting to be killed. my pity flied and he'd feel the same on my, on the bed. the a few months after this rebel in the semester, in the ocean of 995 international leaders press it all parties to go to dayton in

the united states and sign a peace agreement with the new bosnia would be composed of 2 autonomy entities. the federation of bosnia herzegovina, anthony public therapy on behalf of the bosnian serbs, the peace accords, were signed by their most important ally, the president of serbia phlebotamy milosevic, which the little bit later we got the very 1st interview that most of which gave my impression them was of a friend of mine, he was able to stonewall with a smile. every christian that i put from beginning stuff to do with me, it's happening in bozeman because it has everything to do with the boston. said army who are they paid for? they were paid by the government at belgrade, but most of which played came cleverly,

expensive administration went along with presidents. you must turn the pages of disagreement into a real hope for those who have survived this horrible war. after the peace accords and they to lead international coalition was sent to bosnia for the tribunals investigators. it was an opportunity to uncover the crime just represented for i didn't know much when i was assigned to the rubber niece a team. i knew thousands of muslim men disappeared after the fall of the enclave. and they were fought to have been executed. companies and when you talk about a crime scene, you'll usually talking about a place where we were talking about multiple places,

not just one recall. and the school which we knew had been used as a place to detain people, a football field that had been used together. prisoners on the show that we counted only 10 survivors of these mass executions at some crime scene. and there were none in nashville. me know, but that didn't stop us from finding these kind of things. and this is basically what we found. 11014.5000000 meter shows 25 empty shows of 7.62 meter. total number of blowing falls 117 and i can produce with a colleague of mine. i went into one hanger and took some blood samples from a wall so that we could determine whether these numerous traces of blood were from humans or animals. the laboratory analysis concluded that it was human blood. why was it to be something

ah one of the great challenges that we had was finding where all the bodies literally were buried. and we knew from survivors that we had, at least for mass gray, is when we examine those graves, there were only $100.00 or $150.00 base if that in those graves. the archaeologist told us, it looks like they've been dug up. and people moved on, we received information both from witnesses and from aerial imagery provided by the united states. but looks like little bits of disturbed soil that appear on the url images. we got our map and drove through the countryside,

seeing if we could find these areas. so we're just digging could've been potatoes and we dug for a while and that 1st grave. and one of the investigators gets in with this huge pick axis. and he say north into the grave and there's this pump, and this, this, this spewing odor of death that comes out. and that when he pulled the pick x up a piece of something that it was flesh flung in his, in his back cast. and was like, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, ok, stop, stop, stop to room has gets in. and of course there's a corpse. we ended up finding that day, some 7 graves in that formed the evidence of the case.

so of course you have nightmares, my life revolved around this investigation, it was an obsession. and once you start you can install it. you have to continue a.
