This week marks three decades since a massacre in the Bosnian town of Srebrenica where more than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were systematically killed by Serb forces in 1995. Some survivors and victims’ families say they're still looking for justice. Also, after decades of insurgency against the Turkish government, the PKK has ceremonially laid down its arms. And, residents of Tehran who fled during the recent war with Israel are rebuilding, but they say that nothing feels the same. Plus, flower deliveries become a viral sensation in Mexico.
