in the case of an aggressive war, the listening post delves into the news narrative and dissect them. there's not our great deal of subtlety we're talking about the ball breaking it is unfolding as do somehow. it's not unique covering the way the news is covered on al jazeera. ah morning and global condemnation of the al jazeera correspondent sharing of our claim is shot dead spy is ready forces, or covering, arrayed in the occupied westbank. ah, i there came vanelle. this is angie zera's continuing conference of serena barclays, killing these ready army admits soldiers from an meet unit. 5, dozens of bullets during raised to earlier blaming palestinian government,

shrieks ellis, indian american congresswoman rashid. it's lie a past told algebra that only a full and fair investigation will determine what really happens, journals or guardians of the truth. well, this is our chance to give justice the shaheen who fought to tell better. lou, the killing of an al jazeera journalist by israeli forces has sent reverberations across the globe, particularly around the arab world, provoking shock, grief, and demands for full investigation. sharina barclay was shot in the head while covering and his railing raid in the occupied westbank city of to 9 of their media network has described her death as a blatant murder, making clear it holds israel. responsible is rarely military has admitted soldiers from elite unit 5 heavily during the rate. it is not said that his troops are to

blame shortly. we'll go to need to abraham, who's gone for us in ramallah, and stephanie deca standing by in western slim 1st. so this report from jamal, shire, hello. don't shoot the messenger unless you're in israeli soldier. in that case, you're seemingly ok with shooting a reporter who's clearly identifiable as a journalist and poses no threat. should he and barclays is the latest reports are to be killed by the israeli military, which has a long history of targeting journalists and news outlets. particularly al jazeera and sharing a veteran reporter who spent her life covering events and occupied palestine was among a group of journalists documenting what was happening in janine early on wednesday . according to eye witnesses and video footage, she was wearing a safety vest and helmets, both of which clearly identified her as a member of the press. despite this or maybe because of it,

sure he was shot and killed. or we were going to filmed is really army operation. and suddenly they shot us without asking us to leave or stopped filming the 1st bullet hit me and the 2nd bullet hit sharina. they killed her in cold blood because they are killers and specialized, and killing only palestinian people. we had no resistance and there was no palestinian resistance at all. at the scene. journalist somebody was also shot and injured in the attack. there was no exchange of fire. so there is no possibility whatsoever in the city, and they always use the excuses to cover up the crime committed against palestinians, including post indian generalist, according to rights groups. israel has killed 50 journalists since 2000 and injured more than 144 in the past 4 years alone. ah,

this is also not the 1st time israel. his intentionally targeted al jazeera. last year, the networks office in garza was bumped to rubble. while journalists travadone b did, he was assorted by israeli forces, whilst reporting on israel's ethnic cleansing of arab residence in occupied east jerusalem shifter off neighbourhood. israeli authorities say they've launched an investigation with human rights group say they have little faith in israeli justice, particularly with renowned organizations like human rights watch and amnesty international, accusing israel of implementing a system of apartheid that i, that i am human rights organizations, for example, like bit sate limb and is that a human breast? so can i say at that decided the long time ago that there are no longer going to even interact with the complaint system. bear with invisible aly army because it is

not serious. it doesn't find is that a disorders guilty cut out is foreign ministry whose country hosts the al jazeera network issue to statements with senior diplomats no one hotter demanding an end to what she called, state sponsored israeli terrorism. the european union and other members of the international community have also condemned the kenning. but all these condemnations have fallen short of including any sanctioning or punishment for a crime that threatens the essence of any free society. a free press should in was kill, trying to inform the world of what was happening in her country. the world now knows that in occupied palestine, no one is safe from israel's, but it's not even journalists, john, or my lunch, or young. i just 0. israel says it will investigate sharon's killing offering to do

it in conjunction with palestinian officials and a tweets p l. o. executive committee member hussein out shake explained white glove declined. israel requested a joint investigation and asked for the bullet that assassinated she read. we refused that we affirm that our investigation would be completed independently and we will inform her family, the u. s. cotton and all official and popular authorities of the results of the investigation. all indications, evidence, and witnesses confirmed. she was assassinated. i israeli special units will need abraham his line for us now in ramallah outside the palestinian presidential headquarters, and that is where she reads body is being moved to to day needa. what's happening there? now we are now inside the presidential headquarters here, the normal law. this is the base of the palestinian authority, the office of the palestinian president with our best and preparations are under

way. i can show you that these are men that belong to the ceremonial guard of the presidential guard. they are gearing up preparing for the body of sharina to arrive here. they are expecting it to be here in about an hour or so. there is a podium that has been set up where the palestinian president is expected to deliver a speech. and if anything, this shows how much of the person should in was how much loved she was. how long she was people in palestine today, i feel like they are lost. a family member. i've been speaking to people who say her voice came to me. my whole memories, my childhood memories came back to me when i heard the news because people have been born and raised into this is radio, military occupation. but when i opened its offices in

1996, the coverage has been exceptionally palestinians are felt like there are cases being a broadcasted all the time 247. they're hearing the news from different parts of the occupied. westlake and serene, was a huge part of that. this is why many here say she is an i can i did. and that they will miss. neither obviously, this is am, you know, this is the death of one of our colleagues. this is, this is so close to home, i guess. i'm wondering how, how are our teams they're doing it is taking, nita, if you can hear me, i'm not sure. i think we may have last names that my analogies. there are we will come back to leader if we can or regain a connection with her. while in israeli human rights organization has disputed the

israeli governments, assessments of the circumstances surrounding sharina, barclays killing. on wednesday, israeli forces issued a video which they say shows and sidney and firing, but, but his name has published analysis of the video and the location where it was filmed doesn't, doesn't match up with the place where she read was shot. more witnesses have also denied israel version of events. was little bit surge. oh, when the journalist arrived here, they were surprised because your facial forces were closing the street with the military club. and then they started shooting at the journals screen of the aqua fell to the ground. also ali, also moody and other journal, was injured on it, but he was in a protected area and then tried once again to retrieve the body of her will not it will then that she had been killed. he tried to provide the 1st aid to her minister, so they started shooting at him and the bullets over his head and the guys here,

we're not rolling stones, you know, shooting. there was no form of resistance on this. let's go back. i think we've regained connection with nita abraham, who is there for us at the presidential compound, waiting for the body of sharina block to arrive there. and neither i just wanted to ask you about. i mean i'm in or of your reporting continuing. i assume you worked closely with sharina. i wanted to just ask you, you know, how our, our teams doing this. this is one of our own how. how is everyone doing there? remember, there are people who have worked with her for 20 years. is there a loss of even greater one of them, the camera man who was with her yesterday when she saw the name is measured the you know, mean for years and years and then he tells me i was the thing on the

walk live the why the way, when i heard the gunshot a imagine have realized that you can look at someone with blowing off 34 feet with

well, leave it there for now. neither ever him. thank you for that. let's crossover novice stephanie decker whose live for us from west jerusalem. stephanie, bring us up to speed if you can, on just the latest in terms of the investigation. well, you mentioned there that the palestinians have done their investigation. they have

the bullet evidence, and this is something that israel says it wants access to its offer. they offered a joint investigation which the public de into projected israel has conducted a preliminary investigation. we had the results of that last night where it said it had found that sharina was around 150 meters away from the really army that these really special unit that was on the ground fired dozens around. but it said that palestinian gunmen fired far more and indiscriminately. it said that he believed the bullet came from m. 16 rifle, which is something that both sides have access to, which is why it says it wants access to the to the bullet. kodak, which is the body that govern the occupied west bank, says that any investigation would have a member of the palestinian authority and an american president. but the palestinians, very clear on this, saying no, they will not be handed over the bullet. there would be a joint investigation. there's simply no trust when it comes to israel

investigating something like this, there is no trust from the palestinians policy and on the ground, certainly under no illusion as to who fired the shots that killed sharina. and a lot of a lot of this is being played extremely highly here. the 1st time i think that the palestinian journalists killed that you've got the prime minister, the foreign minister, the defense minister. you've already discussed the scope of international reaction . the media is full of it today talking about the killing, talking about how tragic it is. some articles criticizing the fact that you know, al jazeera and culture and others so quickly to blame the israeli military before a full investigation has taken place. but as we've been reporting according to our colleagues on the ground, who were there who witnessed what happened, who survived, what happened there under no illusion that it was these ready army that fired the, that killed sharina and just briefly, you heard ne die there we are expecting sharon's body to arrive in jerusalem later

today. it will be held overnight at a hospital here before the barrier will take place and also again, just to touch on how important she is to people who don't know her. we had people offering us condolences yesterday with tears in their eyes crying, saying, you know, we, we, we feel like we've grown up watching her document the occupation document, the stories document to her telling her own story, really the story of palestinian. so it's touched so many people and i do think that the funeral tomorrow will have a huge turn out here and stuff. the palestinian public prosecutor is also referring to killing to the international criminal course. isn't it? yes, there have been various calls for an independent international investigation. i mean, this would need an autopsy. this would need forensics at, you know, at the moment,

certainly from what we understand serenely is going to be buried tomorrow. and this is something that these really are say they want to complete themselves and some of the criticism and these really media is that they cannot do this job without getting a clear idea of who was responsible. but again, the palestinians are, are dead fault that they will not be carrying out a joint investigation. they're very clear as to who fired the bullet that killed sharina. so all intents and purposes, i think the palestinian investigation will be the one and only as of now, certainly from the, in the information we have. again, there's a, you know, we're talking about tyree and it is an absolute tragic that we're, we're in shock. but again, we have to remind people that this is not the 1st time that the palestinian journalist has been killed is not the 1st time that the palestinian journalist has been injured critically maimed. how to leg amputated when it comes to use really

forces using excessive force when it comes to dealing with the media. sharlene is has a massive profile. she works for china like al jazeera, but you know, i've covered funerals of palestinian journalists in garza, i'm the occupied westbank who simply don't get into that kind of recognition. and we were just talking to colleagues here. all asking, is this perhaps going to be a turning point of accountability, still a lot of skepticism that even with the amount of international spotlight on this now, whether something's actually going to change on the ground, or thank you for that. stephanie deca, they live 1st and west through, so we're going to take you live now to ramallah the lie short from the hospital where there is obviously a standing guard, as they prepared to move, showing a block his body from the hospital to the presidential compounds where as we've been hearing, there will be a service will be held as well wishes and presidents posted in prison. oh, to boss pays his respects. i'll just there a general sure. in our clear, of course,

was shot dead by israeli forces in the occupied west bank. on wednesday, she was hit by a live bullet while covering the israeli raids. in the city of janine, i was rushed to hospital an autopsy confirmed that she was shot in the base of her head by a single high velocity bullets. and as we've been saying witnesses on the ground, including her producer, several journalists have confirmed that it was from israeli fire will be continuing to cover this procession throughout the day as we continue to mourn sharing ah, and hair. ready her various commentaries on her legacy. huge legacy. her impact on the generations who have grown up are seeing her work.

sharin was a career journalist who covered life under occupation for 2 decades more than 2 decades. palestinian american. ah, she covered everything 5 was in garza, israel's war with lebanon in 2006. she covered the killings of palestinian use. palestinians being held in israel prisons without charge the expansion of jewish settlements. she coveted all are the israeli army, as we have said, has admitted that soldiers from an elite unit, 5 dozens of bullets during this rate in janine, but did not admit responsibility of her death. yes, 51 year old journalist sharyn was originally her family is originally from bethlehem, palestinian american as we've been saying, ah,

and while she'd go back to america for the summer, she said she always felt most a home or in palestine where she dedicated her life to covering the story of the people who lived under occupation. so just to remind her of the, the images that we're seeing now, or this is a live feed from the hospital in ramallah. where sharina of wallclear's body will be taken from the hospital. ah, to the presidential compound where there will be a service held so that people can pay their respects to a force in journalism who has been mourned around the world is being mourned. here al jazeera, as one of our colleagues who was shot while wearing, clearly wearing a vest aflac jacket with the word press on the front

a helmet. these are things obviously synonymous with journalists and conflicts owns but she was quite clearly marked as being a member of the press and was shot with a high velocity bullish a single shot in the base of her head. i believe we have needed it for him. standing by for us in the presidential compound needed, just remind our viewers who have just joined us of what is happening today. we are here inside the presidential headquarters. this is the basis of the palestinian authority and the offices of the palestinian president. my boss was asked to have shitty in the body come to the party to have the funeral. that is, to have rather a procession of an official procession. i must say, where it shows how much of a hero and heroine she's considered here among the palestinians. we are expecting

the body to leave the hospital from. my love to come here with the ceremony will be held and then the muddy. the body off city will make its way to jerusalem. i had the plans to bury her in jerusalem tomorrow friday. this is a sad day, not just for those who have known shitting and worked with her. but also the palestinians were felt very close to her because she's been telling their stories, day and day out. she talks to people listen to their stories and tell that to the world. that thing before algebra hasn't been quite felt amongst about a city and they have been feeling that they are left out. but they're just the, you know, was there was covering, said that she was an important part of that. and this is the reason why if you took too many journalists, or many students at the universities,

they would tell you that they were inspired by the coverage of those journalists. should be giovanni. but did he what he did? i'm ready of the one to convey the palestinian voice to the world just like she did yesterday i was following some of the videos and social media. i've seen a small little girl who and say if sitting was killed, the palestinian people will have more city. they will come up and they will continue her legacy. all right, thank you for that need to in for him that live for us in ramallah, i believe we can speak now to cell phone, but who is here with me in the studio. here is the founding director of the center conflict and humanitarian studies at the doha institute. thank you very much for your time. obviously, today there is a, there is

a procession screen block body is being taken now to the presidential compound. we'll talk about, you know, the, the, the fall out of this in a moment, but i'd like to take a moment just to reflect on her life and her work and her impacts across the arab world, covering, you know, covering life under occupation for more than 2 decades, how do you see her, her legacy? well, i think she's been an exceptional journalist. she was known for being an objective, but the fact that she's always been within the events, you know, she has made fantastic covering over the last 1520 years. she has managed to inter, almost every household in the street. and she, i think today i lot of people would feel as if they lost a member of the family with losing sharing. but she is among a group of journalists, palestinians, who really take a very brave decision to dedicate their life to journalism,

to documenting the facts in one of the most exceptional circumstances in the world . and what goes on in the west bank and gaza is non acceptable anywhere in the world. and the world for 70 years have turned a blind eye. and these people for 70 years to buy their cose and day after day they go out there to document their suffering and to educate to those of the world the time has come for poor shane. and i think the killing of shooting maybe one of those turning points of if anything, i mean there was a need maybe for something to happen to galvanized the world again around justice, around issues of countering occupation in itself. particularly after what we saw happening in the ukraine in the last few months, in a few weeks of occupation and the whole world was up in arms against russia

denouncing in his own. and now we have 70 years of his going on more than 70 years . and no, no serious reaction. so i think in short, i mean it's a great close. but the world as a whole, the policy of people in particular must make on or have memory by really focusing attention on the bigger issue. and the bigger issue remains that of occupation and west banking goes. i know some of the reaction we've had, you know, has been sort of saying, you know, this is a reminder that we need to. and i think with the top foreign minister state farm, israeli terrorism, what do you make of the reaction that we've seen globally so far to sharina? oh, it's so far it's been more or less the traditional form of responding. cautiously. all the world is very worried about, always worried when it comes to criticizing israel,

because very easily they can be accused of just a magic and sentiments and so on. so people are being very cautious in the way they approach it. but what is it important? i think is that even amongst israelis and few time we're from trinity has come to an end because of the development in social media and journalism and reporting. this is one incident that has been literally recorded on film. i mean, there, you can call for as many investigations as you lie. but there are i witnesses the filming going on. this is the thing which, i guess i found quite astounding is exactly that is that there are we have journalist witnesses, journalists who commit their lives to, to, to telling the truth to, to, you know, and when you actually see something with your own eyes saying we saw is right, the fire with this the is ready, soldiers were responsible for this. and yet you still have attempt to muddy the waters from the,

from the israeli side about about who was responsible despite the boss evidence at hand. i mean, did do you think that the day, i mean, sort of said it, there are, do you think this is going to be a moment for change or a wake up for the world? you know that better that it, that a journalist can be shot clearly being a journalist with the press fest on you know, a donors which is so well respected. you think this is, this is a wake up call to the world. it has to be, i mean, she's obviously not the 1st of the single, generous to be killed. but she's also not the 1st journalist globally to be killed in conflict either by a state or an article. and in fact, if you look back in 1997, that was a very important meeting that unesco held on the subject. and they started an observatory. anybody can go on the website and visit this observatory and they took documents very carefully. all the journalists have been killed ever since, and there are more than 1500 journalists who have been killed simply because they do their job and report on these issues. and many of them have been taken through

some of these legal cases and legal case of this kind could be used for a year or 2 or 3 to really didn't use the whole issue and get to of the, of the media and of people's minds. very few have been prosecuted and i think it's just time because of the, the developments that we have in technology and so on to maybe pursue other ways of forcing legal outcome on some of these cases. as you know, lawyers are fantastic and making a case of everything and it could take years and years and nothing could come up. but in showing case only a few days ago, 25th of april. the prosecutor's office of i c. c. acknowledge receiving a complaint from the international federation of journalism that has to do with the killing of 2 other palestinian journalists. and 2 more were wounded by

a sniper fire from israelis. and that took months to get to the icpc. so i think the most feasible way forward is, is to add today's case to the existing case and to treat it as a pattern that is addressed against israel. that there is a pattern where they feel impugn of the of any claim. and you know, and they clearly are not checking in measures to protect the journalists as they should do. to pause you there. it's 730 g m t 10 30 am local time in ramallah and the occupied west bank. you are looking at pictures live now from ramallah, where from inside the hospital in ramallah. whereas you can see there are people who have come out to stand in it and a sign of respect as the body of sharing a block play is to be moved from that hospital in ramallah to the presidential compound where they.
