she's the most devastating fire the islanders ever seen. those words directly from the lot. bye bye. i remember the 1st 3 developments who's worked in fighting all of his life. and he said, this is the last period in the history of cyprus, the president applied for stephanie, and they'll giving out advice because the weather here was absolutely sweltering, basically, to be type precautionary cigarettes, throw them out the car barbecues. don't the barbecue is in force areas, basically use common sense and they say that the next few days are going to be tough because the fire is not yet fully under control. and that was d, w radio correspondent, nice and moly reporting on days. devastating was 5 inside per se. nathan, thank you very much. ok. well, thousands of troops and firefighters have joined the search for survivors of a huge mud slide in japan. at least 2 people confirmed dead and 20 others. the

missing mud and flood waters tore through the coastal city of a tommy, which is 100 kilometers from tokyo. torrential rain has been falling for days, and more is still full cost. i is anyone out there in treacherous conditions? these rescue work is a searching for survivors. 6 they call out into the darkness, but no one is going back. those who did make it out alive now gather in shelters. most of them had no time to even grub their belongings before having to leave. mother didn't go. when i opened the door, everyone was rushing into the street with a policeman, came up to me and said, what are you doing here? you have to hurry. everyone is evacuating the ground collapse right next year.

so i went out into the rain and in a hurry without changing and with just a back up the booklet with the diction. this is what she was fleeing from an avalanche of mud, engulfing everything in its path homes, businesses and infrastructure. all flattened rescue curious, did manage to find some people, but they're still looking for survivors. more rain and smaller landslides have hampered rescue assets, forcing workers to call off the search multiple times. the month side was triggered by torrential rains, a month's worth hit. the area in the space of just a few days. and there's more in the forecast experts, one that the danger of more land slides may not be over yet. and here is some more world news headlines. at least 45 people have been killed in

a military plane crash in the philippines. the transport aircraft missed the runway during landing on the island of hollow, at least 50 troops were pulled from the burning wreckage. marcella pen has been re elected as the leader of frances far right national rally. no one through it again to the pen. is that to run in the national presidential election next year search and rescue if it's the collapse department building in florida have been suspended. what's left of the structure is unstable and is now being demolished. at least 24 people are confirmed dead and 121 are still missing. for over a week, the families of those still missing in surfside have been waiting in vain for news of their loved ones. now they face another excruciating delayed, the recovery operation. as demolition teams prepare to carry as

a controlled explosion of the size. preparation includes activities like drilling into column in the unsafe structure and we are continuing to receive updates about the condition of the standing structure. and we will begin to search and rescue once again on any sections of the pile that are safe to access. as soon as we are cleared, with tropical storm l soft forecasts to make land fall in florida in the coming days. officials decide that the rest of the collapse complex needs to come down. we have a building here in surfside that is pottering, it is structurally unsound. and although the b, b i of this storm is not, not likely to pass over this direction. you could feel gusts in this area. we don't know, it's definitely a possibility. the instability of the site has been a major challenge for the search operation. it was already forced to pause for

almost 24 hours on thursday. after dangerous movement was detected in the debris. it's hope, the demolition will reduce the dangerous faced by the crews. when they resume combing through the rubble and that the families now living in limbo will soon have certainty about the fates of their loved ones. well, south africa is former president, jacob zoom has avoided starting a jail term thanks to the supreme court zoom. i was sentenced to 15 months in prison for refusing to attend to corruption hearing. the court has agreed to hear is appeal like this month, while hundreds of support is have gathered outside his home. soon as 9 years in office were overshadowed by corruption allegations as human. and let's go straight to w correspondent christine manuel, who joins us from and con la. that's where is zoom is rural. hi, ms. hi, christine. tell us please. what is the situation today with jacob zooming?

is he likely to go to prison now at all? well, jared, at least he doesn't have to do that today. we know that much. he has had to make an application in a separate court to request the stay of his race pending. of course, this review off the constitutional court ruling as well as the sentence. so that is going to happen on tuesday. and depending on the outcome of that particular hearing, he could have to report to correctional facility as early as web thing. but from, from the analysis that we're hearing here, because the supreme court or the constitutional court is recall, a chair has agreed. see here that review of his case, it is likely that this no, a court will grant him that they offer rates so it would mean no jail time anytime soon for mr. jars. okay, well lives,

of course we'll be looking at what happens on tuesday. of course, this is nonetheless a very big story. if it's not africa, how people reacting there. well, where i am, if you didn't know any better, you would think that we're as a political randy. it is a celebrate tree atmosphere here. you've got people dress in the colors of the ruling a and see that it's a party of mr. summa. people dressed in the traditional hulu regalia. people are his supporters. of course, as you mentioned, this is his whole province where he does commodity. a lot of support. you have had gunshots being fired into the people rallying and the crowds cheering around that. but people here believe that they are here to support and shows on the barrier to the man who is being persecuted in the household. the atmosphere. i'd be a little bit more, some back in the homes of south africans to feel that this is a man who has a lot to answer for. and he's refusal to present himself and answer questions to alleged corruption in his administration and under his tenure is really

a slap in the face of the law. so he had lots to say in a brace across the country. not so much the case, christine, this is of course, the 1st time that a former south african president has been sentenced to prison. what does this mean for the people of the country? yeah, well when the constitutional court or the supreme court handed down that that ruling that he wasn't contempt of court and then went on to sentence him 15 months in prison. a lot of people felt that that was a victory for the rule of law in this country. there is the feeling that the political elite get away with anything that they are not how to accomplish. people thought that this would be a turning point for this country. that people would see this, somebody like mr. zoom, a former president who's really been at bias of what you can be in this country. going to prison for being in content that the law was equal and applied equally to everybody. and so that is what a lot of people welcomed, and that is certainly what a lot of people told me on the day that the constitutional court made that ruling.

so that was a victory that this was views as now of course, things have sort of the winds have been taken out of the sale of the story in the, in a sense for a lot of people. because of course, mister, do, my husband allows to review his case, but this is what this means to people in a country right with corruption that anybody who is seen to be corrupt would be held to accompany. that's what this symbolized for a lot of people. charitable that was christine moon. why and con blood, the home region of all my south african president jacob's do my christine, thank you very much for your knowledge of football. now in the final 4 teams are ready to line up at the european championship england handmade ukraine for neil in the last match of the quarter finals. hurricane scored twice in rome to send the lions into their 1st year or semi final since $996.00. england have yet to concede a goal in the tournament earlier. casper dolby grabbed what proved to be the win if it denmark in a $21.00 win over the czech republic, the danes next faith,

documentary looks at the chances of any more war crime trials arising from the conflict in the former yugoslavia, there's more gay w dot com and on twitter and instagram to take up the news and gera dre thanks to the bowling was right in front of them. they then suddenly we agreed to postpone the or olympic games that tokyo with 2023. of course, during the qualifying ground for sports heroes down during lockdown starts july 19th on d w. o.

in the after world war 2, the people if you just love you, lived in peace under the grip of an old story, terry and leader yasser bros tito. the in 1982 died and the regime began to crumble in the 6 constituents republics. a new generation of leaders used nationalism to win over the people. you grew up 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 he carefully in 19809 slo bought in milosevic became president of serbia, costing himself as defender of the service. i don't think he believed in

nationalism g, use nationalism to one and one and only to keep slipping them loss of age in power . and if you're supposed to fear with the other, it's an incitement to violence. and then violence comes very quickly. in 1992 roll broke out in bosnia milosevic supported the boston inserts, whose omi, led by an out of on coverage and the radco mileage committed, genocide intrepid in it. yeah, in 1998. milosevic then truth to cause 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

use, i was born in a small town in castillo. there was a small number of serbian families with majority of the population where obedience . but you could field tension it's good that it's sunday because on saturday, for example, it's mark a day and it gets really busy. i like it when my father was thrown out where things were getting bad. 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 back we will not consider those refugees at that point because things hasn't been is bad. for example, it was happening in me after the break up a few years slow via kosovo, was a disputed region at the time. it was part of serbia, though more than 80 percent of its population were close to 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 in the region. in 1998, the war in kosovo began. i remember roles of tank entering the town.

the 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 lead me was very difficult to think that something like that can happen to my family. he sort of see it happening and you see that it's possible, but do you think that's just something like that happened to my phone is just impossible. the initially like cover was refugees coming into northern virginia. i see a huge number of refugees of wounded that they've been shop by the serbs, women, and children. people who are deeply due to frighten me much of a surprise. but what makes it worse to my mind was that you've been warning that

this was going to happen since night. you know what? i don't, nobody did anything. in late 998, the troops attacked the obedience in kosovo with relentless force. they also killed and civilians. domesticated were strongly reminiscent of the ethnic cleansing that had shaken bosnia just a few years earlier. but this time, the international community was determined to intervene. aggressive nationalism of mister milosevic routed into 30. it's not in the ninety's of the european of european politics must be stopped and will be stopped. 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 the day 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. mm. the 24th of march when the bombing started, things called works. there was a lot more covian military presents around town. my family decided that the men would leave the house, so they were around the town,

but they were hiding. and i remember that he was said that because when the soldiers are coming in, they're taking the man and they kill him over man. so i guess they must have thought that just being the women and children would be safe. 4 days later, the 28th of march. it was sunday. the police army car stopped in front of the house. we could see them entering other neighbors houses. and we, you can see, you know, they, they were like, you know, smashing things and shouting, breaking, 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 the cotton behind the house. one of the soldiers pushed my own p. shelter in the back. and

then my cousin started crime. by the time i looked at them, he already changed his kind. is that a shooting at 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 added to this wage and the house used to be here and this tree used to be very small during that time. so these are x, the silver falls from the bullets so

on that day i lost my mother, so i know i lost my 2 brothers spanish, but i lost my cousin nor to fall to 21 people only my 4 cousins and myself, 55 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. again, 12, but then the lawsuit, it's in for others, charging them with crimes against humanity, specifically murder,

deportation and persecutions. and with violations of the laws and customs of war but is known as low burden milosevic state in power of wasting him was not possible . the opportunity came when he lost the presidential election in 2000. the milosevic refused to concede defeat until angry protestors stormed element. in june, 2001 milosevic was extracted to the hague and charged with war crimes committed in kosovo, croatia, and bosnia. one of the longest and most important trials in the history of international justice was about to begin directors, graham, lotion, which was really momentous. galvanized the officer. the prosecutor

the stakes were higher and maybe the credibility of the i, c 2 wise and institution was more a play. we really had to show that we knew what we were about them today. never to information justice and action. this tribunal and just try in particular, gave the most powerful demonstration that no one is above the mill or beyond the reach of international crime of genocide. crimes against humanity affects all of us. throughout the words

the accused as, as causes all fancies charged in respect of these events. issue is, or maybe did he know that 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 victims 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 be accused wanting to be his own counsel? should not do that not, but he was allowed to sit and laugh, look, loss of ish. i've seen the choice not 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 close to the distribution of the 1st review and in this posting documents. so i have no needs drop 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 a sport like being in front of the camera and being able to present themselves and make a case to that own supporters. we grab the system, 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. proactive canister, in a case in point what we're going to like to the other side of the world to protect christ. and that is considered logical and normal in our money. but the struggle against terrorism in the heart of one's own country. maurice in one's own home is one's own nation which is considered a crime because what you it's really interesting the process is because of course, even though he, the, he's the,

the, the mastermind of everything that happened. but yet there's 2 aspects of respecting of human rights the right to defend yourself and so on. and i felt that the whole process unfortunately again, it gave him some power in terms of even again how he treated the victim there when he was questioning them. now what did you say that you took your family to a shelter underneath the staircase that had been prepared previously? but i mean, simply now when did you prepare the shelter? you mentioned in your statement look center squat, many events through him. i didn't say that when you went to replace shelter, we stayed in our home call. we made a shelter under the stairs, in our home to florida. got us typically,

but i mean when did you prepare the shelter that you mentioned in your statement for the homeowners? farther than you may be, i will tell you what kind of shelter i had missed my son lear took a carpet from the room and he brought it out because he was a child and was frightened since you thought it would be safer under the stair. gone to know son scott does like his money nice, but i was told that i didn't understand you to be talking about. it was because you wrote the word shelter with mrs. hardy. she intended you're an intellectual. what more has was your husband us? are you aware of the citizens of kosovo into the war and the tragic events that followed as an advocate he was because he couldn't resist the temptation to cross examine every one. the effect of all that was terrible on him because it showed him to be actually quite

enough people me more than 5000 witnesses, testified before the war. crimes tribunal among them were politicians, soldiers and foreign service in the vast majority with those who survived violence during the war, victims of rape, torture, and genocide. i i do literally the only thing to do when i go to the memorial now. as soon as my feet feel like someone else's feet, my legs no longer carry me. burying your own children,

something that destroys you. your soul dies. that duty, sony, everything dies. pleasantly hush look to the no. they contacted me from the hague tribunal. the same this year that they asked if i would agree to testify and i said yes, i didn't hesitate, but i had nothing else to lose in my life, so i wanted at least to be helpful to others. since i'm identity in that role, i solemnly declare that i will state the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth smell. this is going to be like a symbol. so it's, if i was a little surprised when i got in the courtroom and i saw that everything had been photographed for every stone from public chat, a rubber neat supposed to be. i asked the prosecutor, why are you inviting us to the hague tribunal? if you already know everything. he explained,

they could all be fake photographs for them. so without witnesses, there was no vetted to the name of breast session. to be honest, it feels like a treat me like it's really important to have that acknowledgment of what you've suffered. it's quite an empowering experience. you have the perpetrates right there, and they have to sit there and after listen, you know, they can get up and shoot you because you're you know, speaking about what they've done the, we also decided to testify in belgrade. it was not very long after the war ended.

i just remember really being anxious all the time. people who were in the garden who are still walking free. you know, when you have an idea of when you have that experience because it's something that goes william i, i can't forgive the ones who did it and the ones who gave orders to do it and you know, the ones who started this whole thing. but i can't say about every single person that lives in this country. but for me was really striking, is the reaction of families the type of traits family were all their son right behind him. and you know that alone, he didn't show any remorse. i was stunned to see the reaction of the family they, i mean they were there for 2 hours listening of every details if you could give

of what had happened on that day. and yet they felt that it was unfair and he was being tried. it was really hard for me to even fill of compress the whole that whole reaction the question was why i started beating detainees? it said a 3rd or 4th person i head fell on the floor later died in the infirmary of the cast. you know that you're not the even if i knew it somewhere deep down if i did. but i didn't want to believe in that. i do it's. i was soldiers doing things for

my country for my vehicle. i was not wrong. my job was not wrong. we did the right thing, showing that it was k few remind yourself me. many of the accused did not recognize the hague tribunal all their guilt, even though it could have reduced their sentences just 20 of the 161 accused pled guilty. ah, both me and said, politician, piano plus ships, pled guilty to one of the charges against her in return. the others were dropped. 1000000000 up yourself in the un war crimes tribunal on wednesday, she's accused of genocide, more crimes and crimes against humanity. georgia and just gotten to know the trials lasted for years though. sure. they told me i could get

a life sentence. yes, someone will shoot. once i entered the court room with my blood pressure at 220 because some vision more for my lawyer said vienna. there's only one solution, the motion will not guilty prison, i could do it. no shadow was for a to some bill or now our leadership of which i was apart for blood and effort, which victimized countless innocent people never knew. at that time, i easily convinced myself it was a matter of survival and self defense. some of the many neither shall go was the most important thing for me as a clear conscience or to lose. do you believe me? little i sleep very well. to try chamber has to pass sentence on

72. we are a former president for the participation in a crime of the utmost gravity on the other hand, very significant mitigating circumstances. in particular, the guilty plea of the accused that they accused of having given way to the fact to set hard trial shameless sentences you to a period of 11 years imprisonment. all this and yet the major, not a name stick to the hague tribunal. not an international institution attacked the entire serv nation. this is sort of beyond i'm not saying the serbs were, angels could read those,

but you just have to look at the distribution on my floor of the prison truck. this is sort of a device set of our cars. hand serves as you crow ads and one muslim mission i found very amusing all the fed. i'm just here to make up the muslim quota. not a trace of justice need to rule. well, the navy to be any. it's true that most of the accused war service context that's due to the context of the conflict. to do it. after the dissolution of yugoslavia, the federal army was dissolved. the automotive headquarters were in belgrade and

serbian hands. so this federal army became a serbian army on your model. so of course they had plenty of weapons go up to those. and the bosnian army was formed on the go and barely had any weapon to govern. is the same was true for the croats. danica court about the i still would those and that's why the serbs committed more crimes. tolben of course that doesn't mean serbs are a criminal people. that's just how the situation was at the time. that will be the 4 years after it started, the trial of law bought in milosevic was still unfinished. hearings were often delayed as milosevic has help deteriorated on the 11th of march,

2006. milosevic was found dead in his prison. so of a heart attack the chamber has been advised of the death of the accused, slow, but on the last of which we express or regret at his passing. we also regret that he's on, timely death, has deprived not only him, but indeed all interested parties of a judgment on the allegations in the indictment. i was very sure that he would be convicted. what happened in the end?

it's for me, very disappointing. but also what really bothers me is this rhetoric of people with him, serbia say no, he didn't commit to any quinn because he was never convicted for it. well, milosevic was mourned in belgrade b i c t wise most wanted fugitive for hiding in serbia. that of on carriage and that commodity were charged with crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide in the bosnian war, but many still regarded them as heroes. ah, so early january in 2008 years of age died 2 years before. it was obvious that the main frustration, if any, say, was congregation lot each are still out there. you

know, people i can manage even today you will find people in serbia and we pick a subs gus to supporting them. so getting cooperation and getting a ref, it's very, very difficult. and what you need as international prosecutor is really political support from those countries who have influenced an impact on those congress who are not arresting deficiencies. and with all countries in the for me was love, yahoo have as a political objective to join sooner or later. europe in union, whether europe and union had a lot of leverage saying that if you want to go there, one of the many conditions you have to fulfill is full cooperation in arresting. the remaining a lot of coverage is now in the custody of international criminal tribunal or the from english legal after 13 years at large.
