a great storyteller. while covering, arrayed by israeli forces in the occupied westbank on wednesday, she was shot in the head and killed instantly. her colleague seen on the right is shatka neisha. she says the attack on her team was intended to kill jani with an aqua molecular. the occupation forces had led us to reach that point where they fired on us. i went to tell her that. i'm sorry, i couldn't protect you when we were under fire. i failed to save you alayna. israel's government initially said palestinian fighters were to blame, but that was disputed by witnesses, journalists, and rights groups. this is the moment where there's going to be the most outpouring of outrage and grief about the killing of serene. so if they can cast doubt, if they can muddy waters around the death sharina by possibly getting newspapers in the international sphere to suggest that she was killed by a palestinian,
5:04 pm
they have been successful that i got caught up. israel says it will investigate sharon's killing and offered to do it in conjunction with palestinian officials. the palestinian president said he would not cooperate with israel. only a backup view refused any joint investigation committee, which is really authorities because they have committed such a crime. we don't trust them and we'll go immediately to the international criminal court in order to find the perpetrators and the criminals. her body was then taken from, from a low up through the fallen dea check point to jerusalem, where sharina was born. on friday there will be a funeral service in bate honey, not the same neighbourhood. she grew up in leah harding al jazeera. i want to take your life. i don't want to buy these jerusalem. i'll just hear a stephanie decorous their stuff up. i've just been watching some alarming pictures here with, with you being jostled and other people,

5:07 pm
he's got another interview but he's here a certainly also trying to highlight um what is the reality of the daily life under occupation here? so certainly certainly very shocking for the family members. i was talking to one friend of bar up city ins who said that the is ready for us to stop them from accompanying the procession actually entering the hospital where we were reporting from a couple of hours earlier. um, so this is, this is, this is the reality there now. yeah, i think, i think slowly things are trying to calm down here. but again, this at a time when the family is receiving condolences the day before they're going to lay should interest. and just an example of something that she would have been reporting on as you say this is, this is the reality on i, we have a gentleman here. hold on major. let me just, yeah. let me just talk to the gentlemen. yes. do they go through? should ins house in bit, honey, and i was there. that was why they go there. they want problem domain club limb in

5:11 pm
direct message of someone who's born. you grew up here. um, living under occupation, of course the guide and the east jerusalem is now she recognized as occupied. it is what palestinians want and see and demand as a capital of any future staple. as you heard from this gentleman, there is very little hope here and feeling abandoned by the international community at a time when you have, you know, countries and even, you know, arab states are normalizing relations with israel. so i think, you know, insurance does such a tragic event, but certainly highlighting you saw here, people were just offering condolences they arrived, remove the flag. there was an altercation and it's just an example again of the daily realities here. as you say, the, the day the, that harassment is the, the daily reality of people there in the occupied territories for the moment. many thanks indeed to al 0, stephanie decker and occupied east jerusalem or palestinians are planning to refer a case to the instructional criminal court. for more on that,
5:12 pm
that's drawn out to cirrus, paul brennan, who's at the hague. so palestinian paul calling for an investigation. the at the i c. c. were the said was the central allegation here. the central allegation is that israel is systematically targeting journalists in the occupied territories and then failing to properly investigate incidents when they happen in a way that essentially may breach international law and could even constitute a war crime. according to campaigners and. and furthermore, the frequency of the incidence in a more than $45.00 journalists have been killed in the occupied territories since the year 2000. and that gives rise to campaigners fears that there may be either a, a real or, or, or even just an informal policy among the israeli forces, the journalist to somehow fair game. now the i c. c opened and in the after years of legal wrangles over jurisdiction the i c. c has opened an investigation into
5:13 pm
what he calls the situation in palestine and did that in 2021. dating back to 2014, looking at all kinds of issues on both sides. these ready forces and the and palestinian groups as well. last month though, journalist groups named for individuals, i and 2 other incidents, including the bombing of al jazeera office in garza and, and made it specific about the targeting of journalists and what today's thrust from presidents, our boss of palestine and also from the journalist groups is now that they want sharon abil atlas name to be front and center of that campaign about the targeting of journalists. they want her added to the list of names that the i c, c will consider i and they will have to find evidence. they will have to gather evidence in order to put it before the i c c. at the i c. c, prosecutors consent can consider potential charges before the israel doesn't
5:14 pm
recognize the icy seized jurisdiction. does that matter? it, it, it doesn't. and it does it in a certain way. i think israel will refuse to cooperate. i and it has refused to cooperate with the i. c, c, previously. so that's going to create an issue for the investigators trying to gather evidence. but i've spoken with the legal teams representing the journalist groups this morning and they say, look, they have their own sources. they have their own investigators that have their own way of gathering a testimony that will stand up in court that is legally sound. that said, the other thing that israel frankly, needs to watch out for is that if the i c c decides it start issuing arrest warrants, then israeli officials is ready defense officials, israeli government ministers theoretically and could find themselves subject to arrest warrants and could find themselves subject to being detained if they travelled to icpc member nations, it's far from a given that they would definitely be arrested. you look at the example of the
5:15 pm
former sudanese precedent, for example, omar bashir, who traveled to south africa despite the fact that the icy had issued arrest warrant for him for crimes against humanity. and after a lot of legal wrangling, south africa eventually letting go, they decided that international peace was better than it was more important than, than abiding by ice by the i see, see membership. but that, nevertheless, the risk of israeli officials being arrested when they travel overseas is going to be a real headache for the israelis. and from the campaign groups perspective, it's very important that israel realizes that these actions, these killings, what happened to serene abu a clay cannot be, cannot go with be marked without it, with impunity. of 0 pulled random reporting lather from the hey paul, many thanks indeed. still to come here on al serra later maybe said to expand his trembling makes bull street put about its future me and my dog in his house where everybody that lived here except me died. a postal story of loss is for
5:16 pm
us passes a 1000000 recorded covey client us ah, hello there for south asia is a tale of 2 extremes. you've seen some really wet and windy weather sequin to eastern areas of india from that tropical fighter. and it's now been downgraded, but it is shocking. lots of rain at places like additional continuance journey towards the north east, but it has downgraded now. we're also seeing extreme heat for the north west of india and pakistan temperatures here. touching up towards the mid forties, we are expect them to rise up even higher in places like the hor, in the days ahead. if we have a look at the 3 day here, intense heat continuing, dangerous heat, all the way through to next week,
5:17 pm
at least. now we are seeing some relieved on in the very south of india. we've got some fierce thunderstorms rolling across caroline, edging into sri lanka in the days ahead. we've also got thunderstorm warnings out for the north east of india and places like a some, some of those trickling down into bangladesh. docusign thunderstorms through the weekend and that wet weather pushing its way further east in the days ahead now was we moved to east asia was in plenty of wet weather. thanks to pulses of heavy rain from a weather front, pulling from the south of china towards taiwan and into southern areas of japan, it's going to be a pretty wet. we can't for tokyo that to weather update. ah, healing the debate. there is no, he job bad. you know, mean, if anyone here talks about women that i took was a, does this bill seem to have been says notes. so he gets off the table. we were taught with the abortion as
5:18 pm
a one way ticket street to help all of the companies. they deny any responsibility, even though they have the resources in the power to fix it, where a global audience becomes a global community. the comment section is right here. be part of today's proven 3 . are now to sierra. ah ah, again, this is al jazeera electrolyzer of the main news. the saw the body of our colleague al jazeera journalist, shipping ugliest out a hospital and occupied east jerusalem. a funeral for the 51 year old, who was shot dead by his railing forces will take place on friday. earlier palestinian president mahmoud abbas says that he'll seek justice for her death at
5:19 pm
the international criminal court. he paid tribute to sabrina, of our claim. the state service held in huh? israel says that it will investigate sharina killing, but offered to do it in conjunction with palestinian officials. but in a tweet, fellow executive committee member was saying, i'll shake, explained why they've declined. israel requested a joint investigation that asked for the bullets that assassinated sharon. he said, we refused that we have found that our investigation would be completely independent and will inform her family. the u. s. cattle at all official and popular authorities results of the investigation. all indications evidence and witnesses confirm. she was assassinated by israeli special units. he said, a video analysis is contradicting his rails original account of the shooting. as al jazeera capielo has hold on, explains, are not out of the hot book. shortly after sharina lockley was killed,
5:20 pm
the israeli government began circulating this video. it shows an armed palestinian firing his weapon. israel says it shows how the veteran al jazeera correspondent was likely shot by palestinian gunfire and not by its forces. but that's disputed by rights groups. witnesses and journalists who've analyzed the video, israel says this is where the palestinian fighter opened fire. from this point, jerusalem based human rights organization selim says there are too many walls, alleys and buildings, blocking the site where sharin was shot. and gps verification and dozens of video clips shows. this is where is really soldiers were located as a rated a home. and janine, it shows a direct line of fire to where sharon was shot and killed. the site is also far from the palestinian resistance fighter who was about 260 meters away. there is no line of sight between one location and the other. and in fact, our researcher it into staking him
5:21 pm
a few minutes to walk from one location to the other location. so it's absolutely clear there is not a question about it. the footage on which day is really government based, it's false. claim is does not show gunfire. a bout has killed shooting a walk law and injured recall. it. a witness says is really, forces were not under attack was law. when the journalists arrived, they were surprised because the occupation forces were closing the street with their military vehicles. and then they started shooting at them. a man tried once again to retrieve sharon's body for we were not aware at that point that she had been killed. he tried to provide 1st aid to her not so they started shooting at him and the bullets hit a tree over his head. the guys who were not throwing stones, nor shooting. there was no form of resistance over me. the european union has called for an independent investigation into her death, and the u. s. envoy to the un has call for sharina killing to be transparently investigated. the announcement on investigation is one of israel's most
5:22 pm
a tried and unfortunately successful. it tricks and dead blanket impunity dealers resume provides itself is role does not investigate. israel white washes and the investigation is just the 1st or rather the announcement on the investigation is just the 1st stage in this whitewash, i guess mental analysts say they're skeptical. justice will follow. israel has a track record of not punishing its soldiers who have committed crimes against palestinians. huh. and it's never child. one of its soldiers for the killing of a journalist, katya little piece of the young out, is in the amir of cutoff says that those responsible for the death of sharina barkley must be held accountable. he's expressed his condolences to the family and says that her murder by okay, occupation forces was a crime. shake tommy benham al fanny is intact. wrong for talks with aaron's
5:23 pm
president about the stall nuclear deal. oh dear, not a damn bit to id. i express my condolences to sheree my family who is marked by occupation forces. i emphasize that perpetrators of this cry must be punished and the world shouldn't deal with this instant with a double standards approach. the line. in other the is the war in ukraine has raised tension across europe. now finland looked sent to apply for nato membership . after the prime minister and president said that it must happen without delay. finan shares a 1300 kilometer border with russia. the government has said that the kremlin is unpredictable. behavior is a pressing issue. russia is calling finland's nato aspirations, a threat support in finland for joining the alliance as more than doubled since the start of the war in ukraine. during the 1st months, the public support for nato members passed short in finland being now somewhere around 70 percent. strong for bullish report has been expressed in extensive
5:24 pm
pulling through finland decide to apply to access from finland, wouldn't strengthen the security instability both about dixie return and all of europe. al serra stuff fossil reports now from helsinki. this announcement by the president and the prime minister is the 1st formal announcement that did they really want to join nato very quickly. it's a huge turn around for a country that's been neutral. for many that kate had had this war with russia with the soviet union in 1939. and it made this agreement with the soviets at the time, to remain neutral. and it had this delicate balance all those years, even through the cold war. but everything has changed since the russian invasion in ukraine. it has shown to defense that russia is prepared to invade a neighbor. and that really has change his public opinion. so if this application
5:25 pm
is going to be sent to nato, the expectation is that it will take several months. but that of the fins will be accepted because they have a very large and very well trained army. so they say we are an asset to nato. it will change the security layout in europe significantly, and this is not exactly what freshmen put wanted when he said that he wanted to invade a ukraine because nature was creeping too much close to the russian border when finland joins, then the border with nato, between russia and nato will actually double. so it's basically quite ironic that because of the war and russia wanting to be further away from natal, nato is actually coming closer. a new prime minister has been sworn in sri lanka, ronelle wick from a singer, has in the countries leader 5 times before the hinder roger pac so resigned as prime minister on monday, after weeks of protests calling for him and his brother,
5:26 pm
the president, to go over their handling of the economy released so that 8 people have been killed in the violence. hundreds been injured out as here as male fernandez reports from colombo. you can't write fiction or fantasy that rivals the reality of what's happening in sri lanka to day down the road at the president's house. the country's newest prime minister runner, vicar, missing or has taken oaths. not just did go toby, roger pox and his government come to power promising to do better than run her vicar missing her vicar. amazing. how himself was thrown out of parliament at the last general elections are able to secure his own seat. pardon me? 3, i'm appointing a prime minister and ministers who hold the confidence of a majority in parliament and who can win the trust of the people gave me swash you . because i think i might have lots of political acumen and a good rapport with western countries as well as lending institutions and the international community. but protested are not having it. he does hold some
5:27 pm
questionable records. he has been prime minister the most number of times, injury lanka never completing a single term. we don't have a harp on the president and we don't really know accept the proposals of each are brought by the president anymore. a heavy military present has been seen in colombo with tanks rolling around the city as well as a number of checkpoints as one drives around colombo. in the meantime, we're hearing that a magistrate has put a travel ban on the former prime minister. my him, the roger boxer, and over 15 others. this is in connection with an investigation into that meeting on monday, where the prime minister, supporters, thousands of them converged on his official residence and spilled out onto the streets to unleash violence on the protectors calling for the resignation of the president and the government. but he doesn't seem to have dampened the enthusiasm,
5:28 pm
the protest as our back. and they said that he had to stay on to their demands are met. the u. s. has passed 1000000 deaths from the curve at 19 pandemic. the highest of any country health experts are working to find out why so many people died. don't a 0, rob rentals spoken to one american who lost her entire family. i'm certain of the countries handling of a virus was in it. in march 2020 lucy esparza casarez got sick. she quickly recovered from the headache and chills, but soon her husband david was feeling very ill. coughing and unable to stand, he was rushed to hospital. lucy was not allowed to see her husband, and soon a nurse called to say, david was being put on a ventilator. she said, okay, so are we what we're ready to do the procedure. so i'll let you talk to him one more time. so you know was like, ok, i love you, everything's going to be harassing, said ok. i love detail and that was the last conversation i had with him. david
5:29 pm
died from cove at 19 in early april in quick succession. lucy lost more members of her family. her sister in law, a nephew and david's elderly mother whom she cared for. all of a sudden i was along. i'd never been alone in that house ever by myself. with my daughter and me and my god in this house. where everybody that lived here except me, died of coven. by then the pandemic was completely out of control in a new york hospital. 13 patients died in a single day. but the worst was yet to come. hospitals were overwhelmed, morgues ran out of space for the dead. the country shut down. why did the wealthiest most technologically advanced country on earth suffer such a staggering death toll? i think the jury is still out on exactly what caused so much that there is a recent study that came out that showed that about 40 percent of the deaths,
5:30 pm
half of the patients who died with coven, had diabetes. by the time safe and effective vaccines became widely available, misinformation and conspiracy theories were circulating the parallel by their make of this information. this information has complicated matters tremendously, really, unnecessarily. former president trump downplayed the severity of the outbreak from the beginning. the federal government left it up to each state to figure out for themselves how to find medical equipment and protective gear. the ineptness of it was, it was boggling, mind boggling. now i did this happen in the united states of america. the virus took advantage of poverty, racial and economic inequities in american society. the coven death rates for blacks, and latinos have been twice that of whites. how will the pandemic evolve in the coming years? predicting the viruses behavior is notoriously difficult.
