several reasons for her decision. williams has one for the big gold medals with the 1st coming all the way back at the 2000 game sidney. she won 3 of those metals alongside to venus in the double. several of the stars including raphael and the del have also said they will not travel to talk you this is the w news live from berlin up next. this talk film on the international criminal tribunal for the former yugoslavia biggest in the national court of its kind see soon the ah what people have to say matters to me. that's why just to they're still really reporter every

weekend on d. w. ah, the in the of the world war to the people, if you just love you, lived in peace under the grip of an old or a terry and leader yasser brawls. tito the in in 1980 tito died and the regime began to crumble in the 6 constituents republics. a new generation of leaders used nationalism to win over the people in society where your neighbor so different religion and you didn't see them like enemies. now suddenly you have this, you know, parties coming around talking that your neighbor is enemy that you need to be. watch him where it carefully in 19809 slo bought in

milosevic became president of serbia, costing himself as defender of the service. ah, i don't think he believed in nationalism use nationalism to one in one and only to keep slipping loss of age in power. and if you foster fear with the other, it's an incitement to violence and then violence comes very quickly. in 1992 roll broke out in boston, yet milosevic supported the bosnian serbs, his army, led by it out of on courage. and the radical mileage committed genocide, insurrection, it's in 1998 milosevic then truth to cost to the resulting in moments because milosevic became the 1st head of state to be tried for war crimes. the start of

a new era for international justice i i was born in a small town in kosler. there was a small number of serbian families with majority of the population were obedient. but you could feel attention that it sunday was on saturday for mark and day and it gets really busy. i like it when and if my father was from work and things were getting i think my parents decided to leave

the country to to have a better life for us. they decided to move to suite and they already had family members there. but then unfortunately, we were sent back we were not considered as refugees at that point because things hasn't been as bad. for example, it was happening. and after the break up a few, the slow via kosovo was a disputed region. at the time it was part of serbia, though more than 80 percent of its population were cross the albany and they wanted independence. but for milosevic, kosovo belong to serbia. the in the mid 19 ninety's, kosovo, albanians formed the kosovo liberation army. in response, milosevic increased his troops and the region in 1998,

the war in kosovo began. i remember the rolls of tanks entering the town house is just really shaking and especially knowing what was happening in other parts of exploring. my family must really been so worried of where things were going to leave. that to me was very difficult to think that something like that could happen to my family. you sort of see it happening and you see that it's possible, but you think that's just something like that that happened to my phone is just impossible. the initially like cover was refugees coming in to see a huge number of refugees of the wounded that they've been shot by the serbs, women, and children. people who are deeply too frightened,

the middle of a surprise. what makes it worse to my mind was i to be warning that this was going to happen since $991.00. that nobody did anything in late 998. so be untruths attacked the obedience in kosovo with relentless force . they also killed civilians. domesticated were strongly reminiscent of the ethnic cleansing that had shaken both near just a few years earlier. but this time the international community was determined to intervene. dressed is nationalism of mister milosevic routed into 13, not in the 90s. of the european of european politics must be stopped and will be star. i would just like to remind president milosevic that nato stands

ready to take whatever measures are necessary. thank you. and i remember watching the news and family being together, and i remember they were talking about later intervention. and we really thought i remember thinking that they that happens the next day we're going to be free. that's how i saw the in march 1999, natal launched as strikes on serbia to force milosevic to withdraw his troops from kosovo. ah 24th of march when the bombing started, things called there was

a lot more to be in the presence around town. my family decided that the men would leave the house, so they were around the town that they were hiding. and i remember that he was said that because when the soldiers are coming in there seeking the man and they're killing overman, so i guess they must have just been the women and children. he would be faith. 4 days later, the 28th of march. it was sunday, police army car stopped in front of the house. we could see them entering other neighbors houses. and we, he could see, you know, they were like, you know, smashing things, shouting him, break in the, you know, we thought they would take us out just like they were doing with everyone else. when they entered, they took us behind in one of our club behind the house,

one of the soldiers pushed my own p shelter in the back and then my cousin started crying by the time i looked at them, he already changed his kindness that issued us they took 2 rounds the 2nd time was because the one couldn't breathe, making a noise. so they shot again. and then after some time they it was quiet from the left. so we edison this wage and the house used to be here. and this tree used to be very small during that time. so

these are at the silver holes from the bullets. so on that day, i lost my mother saw anna, and i lost my 2 brothers spanish but i lost my cousin, nora. so out of 21 people only my 4 cousins and myself from the 5 some 8000 kosovo albanians civilians died in the war. in 1999 milosevic was indicted by the international criminal tribunal for the former yugoslavia. b i. c. t y in the hague may 22nd. i presented an indictment for confirmation against the wall, but then the loss of its end for others,

charging them with crimes against humanity, specifically murder, deportation, and persecutions, and with violations of the laws and customs of war. the. but is known as low burden milosevic, stayed in power of wasting him was not possible. the opportunity came when he lost the presidential election in 2000 milosevic refused to concede defeat until angry protest is stormed the element in june, 2001 milosevic was extracted to the hague and charged with more crimes. committed in close to the croatia and bosnia one of the longest and most important trials in the history of international justice was about to begin

the rest is slow, but lucian, which was really momentous. galvanized the officer. the prosecutor the stakes were higher and maybe the credibility of v i. c 2, i as an institution was more a play. we really had to show that we knew what we were about, dan. awe today. never thought international justice in this ideal and just try him. but he can give the most powerful demonstration that no one is above the mill or beyond the reach of inclination and just

the crime of genocide. crimes against humanity affects all classes throughout the word accused. as course his office is charged and respect of these events. the issue is, or maybe did he know they were happening? of course he did. he cannot not have and we may find in the case of this accused little or no expression of regret for what was happening to the victim of these conflicts. the launch, which was a very interesting human being, camacho, he treated the court with as near insolence as he could. the judges, for reasons that i simply do not understand,

started off by allowing him to sit. so the rest of us had to stand to address the court to lead a witness in evidence to cross examine. and was there any reason why the accused should not the accused wanting to be his own counsel, should not do that. none could he was allowed to sit and laugh, look was the loss of which i've seen the lot represented by counsel today. not these proceedings will be long and complex. do you want some time to consider whether you wish to be represented? i consider distribute another 1st review, no expense policy investments show i have no needs point canso to illegal or not. you want to have the indictment read

or not this your problem. people like some of these people in power like being in the spotlight like being in front of the cameras and being able to present themselves and make a case to that own supporters. we requirements. this is the 1st opportunity i've been given after 7 months here to address the public. i mean, you can see though, the americans go all the way to the other side of the globe to fight terrorism, productive canister. in a case in point what we're going to start right to the other side of the world process. and that is considered logical and normal, you know, money. but the struggle against terrorism in the heart of one's own country, reason in one's own home is one's own nation, which is considered a crime smarter

a lot. you know, it's really interesting. the process is because of course even though he the, he's the.
