from ramallah. now in the occupied westbank do mean de the daughter of palestine mob. she lena block body was taken through my thousands gather to pay the respect her remains then taken to a state service where the palestinian president honored her vow to seek justice at the international criminal court in mother. today we are here to pay our respect to sharing. i will aqua the martyr of palestine the martyr of jerusalem and a martyr of free speech and a free roll dog with a symbol of the palestinian women on the symbol of the palestinian journalists. sharina has sacrificed her life to defend its course and the cause of the palestinian people called what she didn't worked for al jazeera and was widely

known for reporting on the israel palestine conflict for more than 2 decades. every one standing here has his own story, was shooting as friends we experienced with had this amazing person, pure soul, an innocent little christian jordan. the school always waited for should in to tell us the story. we're losing today. a great story teller. we have never expected that out for of love. we know she's known, we know she's a star. no, she's famous. but for people to be stopping the convoy coming from the hospital, throwing roses at her casket. it's hard to put words to what every palestinian is feeling today. she was shot in the head and killed instantly in the occupied west bank on wednesday. ah,

her colleague thin to the right, it's share the hand asia. she says the attack on her team was intended to kill jani, but other than aqua molecular, the occupational forces lead us to reach that point where they fired on us. i want 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 terrain. so if they can cast doubt, if they can muddy waters around the death sharina by possibly getting newspapers in the international fair to suggest that she was killed by a palestinian, they have been successful. israel says it will, investigator in killing an offer to do it in conjunction with palestinian official,

the palestinian president said he would not cooperate with israel already. i refused any joint investigation committee with israeli 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 criminals. hello. i just need a media. that's where it has described the 51 year old death. as latent birds are making clear, it holds israel. responsible to the city body was then taken from law through the color and just check for it to jerusalem. where she was born. on friday, there will be a funeral service in jerusalem. the very place she was proud to call home him alger zita. the occupied west bank and occupied east jerusalem resident spoke to algeria. stephanie decker about what's been happening around 3 and

a blacklist home in bay tanina. yes they, they, they go through should ins. house in bit, honey, i was there. that was why they go them there. want problem domain club limb in bit, honey not now with it came to the children and all that if i'm any, come in here are though of that, the been coming to here and they come there. let's did people. mm. pippins didn't do anything for them. the police is like in a police, they want to problem in jerusalem, not let on. athenian, they kept him and they said, but athenian kid with him. and they know that that thought so of jobs as well. you know, so just kid chilion, she didn't did die and found on a stallion in his my, in on me. but why does she mean to you? she's mean every think, should he and go to every house in, in palestine. she got to janine, she got to julia cook, she got to he born, she,

she, she got to human, tell him she in 25 yields. walked in just in the past. when is a bully, him? she go to send to the old world. what happened in 15 people? now with this situation, i am sorry to say that, but all of the world see what happened. he and nobody do anything to his. i know this dance was as well, then all evilly global them in here is live, do it. they go to the ox, almost there are me get in sight. warm in children of be been the others. did this shit be the dog. b, b, tim, do you have hope that something will change out what top in this country? i hope they want to see what happened or israel's army is

investigating whether one of its soldiers shot dead sharina black late. that's according to reports from the washington post publication says the army is looking into 3 separate incidents connected to our killing, as well as the wounding of a colleague. initially, israel said the journalists were more likely to have been hit by gunfire from armed palestinians. but i witness reports multiple, i witness reports contradicted that claim. is there any forces is said to be carrying out ballistic testing on the rifles of its soldiers. the hope is jamilla had that them, you either may of this might be a way to pay the road for israel to acknowledge it is the reason behind the skilling. yesterday, there were trying to get the bullet that is now in the hands of the palace. html inside i would a bullet that killed sharina barclay, and i think they have nothing more to say no, no more justifications. and they now understand how much international pressure there is. that's why we have single statements, lou. and these really position is turning in a way but as

a video analysis of where sharon was killed contradicts israel's original, a count of the shooting. and what took place catcher lopez or diane has more on that now. just out of our book. shortly after sharina lockley was killed, the israeli government began circulating this video. it shows an armed palestinian firing his weapon. israel says this 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 have analyzed the video. israel says this is where the palestinian fighter opened fire. from this point, jerusalem base 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 side is also far from

the palestinian resistance. lighter, who was about 260 meters away. there is no line of sight between one location and the other. and in fact, our researcher into taking him a few minutes to walk from one location to the other location. so it's absolutely clear, there is no question about it on wednesday is any government bass? it's false, claim is, does not show. the gunfire has killed, shooting a white glove and injured recall. it witnesses really forces were not under attack was flawed. when the journalists arrive, 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 sharina body. we were not aware at that point that she had been killed. he tried to provide 1st aid to her, 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. the european union has called for an independent investigation into her death. and the u. s. envoy to the un has called for sharina killing to be transparently investigated. the announcement of investigation is one of israel's most a tried and unfortunately successful tricks and their blanket impunity dealers resume provides itself is rosalyn not investigate israel white washers and the investigation is just the 1st or rather the announcement on the investigation is just the 1st stage in this whitewash, oh, many 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 chilled one of its soldiers for the killing of a journalist. cartier little piece of the young out is here. a serious seni plesk

honest, my ron bouchard joins me now and as a hearing in the report them, i want it attention increasingly turning to the investigation which if carried out by an occupying power into its own activities at, in those territories would not have credibility. but do you believe that there are those in the international community, particularly washington, that believe that to israel is capable of conducting an impartial investigation into this? yes, that's what we've heard from the american state department, is that they trust dessert is to conduct a credible investigation. which as the rest of us know, and as the history has taught us, that this is basically not true. but i think a washington shows in degree london, and i would say even moscow bay gene look at these things and they are more taken more focused on the actor than the acts. if its russia,

the united states would turn it is a crime. we don't trust it, we don't trust the russians to conduct investigation. if it's israel, the actor, then the act is no, we're not. we're not sure inst controversial. we need to look into it and let israel investigating which means let israel bury it. so in these sorts of situations, it's very difficult to get an independent investigation and it's almost impossible to get something serious out of a subjective investigation. what do you make of the palestinian reaction? particular from president lan with a bass? i think he's definitely on the right track. i think the fact that he hosted this state ceremony of sort, right, i think that's important because josina was quite critical of the palestine authority. i just say i was not only critical of israel and its occupation sharina and her colleagues were also critical of the personal authority. the fact that the panacea resorts to came on board its to its credit. but it's also to the credit of

independent journalism or the voice of like sharin because the people in palestine a whole generation of people and the stand the credibility of journalism and understand why the, the voice of the likes of sharon is important and hence the but a scene in president and prime minister came on board as well. how important is it? is it to see sharina killing in the context of and not just that the death of other journalists are visit in her possession, but also the context of systematic violence against palestinians? i think i think this is an important milestone. the fact that the policies have come around the way they did in, in, in solidarity in fascination with, in the spirit of sharon and an independent journalism. i think it was, i think a lot of people were taken aback. and the fact that now leaders from around the world are condemning and, and the want to know more. and so it testifies to the importance. but also because

i think for, for those of us who looked at media and politics internationally, we remember how that woman walking are almost naked, burned by the not palm in vietnam. biscuit changed the course of vietnam. how discovering the dead nuns instead of a door changed the course of the civil war? and salvador, how one journalist been killed on camera in nicaragua, changed the course. and even recently upgrade in iraq changed the course of the war in iraq and hammer, the dora in 2000 in garza changed the course of the war against garza and israel ended up withdrawing from good guys and 2005. and i think the image yesterday, the killing of a, of a, of a, of a journalist would been there for 25 years, a peaceful, of course, independent journals under which was killed and, and the whole support for her and her memory. that could be that iconic image that

could lead for change. and so how do you explain then, low on there, the killing that the effect that her killing has add on people is seeing images of the thousands had lined the streets of ramallah to watch her coffin passed through the is it made its way to it is jerusalem, what, how, why is it that people have this deep sense of grief as though she reads killing as is, it is any leave last one a member of their own family because she was them, she was with them in the morning. she was with them in the evening. she was with them and breakfast at the dinner table at lunch. she was basically there in the weekend and the week days, one year after another for 25 years, an entire generation and more than one generation. but since grew up with that voice, that smooth, measured voice covering the facts covering what happens, the suffering of palestinians. she was almost like an investigative reporter looking at the crime scene,

an open crime scene that just was open ended. and she was there sharing people's feelings, people's passions, people's daily lives. and it's not easy for journalists to cover systematic structural violence because it's not apparent all the time. you know, when, when people cannot go to school, people cannot go to work, not permit to build a house, no access to education and medical care. it's very hard to report this and yet are 0 sharyn and others were able to do that. and i think that counted a lot for palestinians, and that's why we see so many people. and that's why we see so many women young women. because the idea of this incredible woman working a difficult job in a war zone under occupation for more than 2 decades. of course, that also became iconic. she became fat that, that example for people to form. she did,

and she did it with that much intelligence and humility. thank you. thank you so much. our senior place, guys. my want to share it with al jazeera live from london much we'll still had all the program boys got a major shift for finland. while the war in ukraine could end a tradition of neutrality. idly take a rare look deep into our galaxy sciences capture just a 2nd photograph ever of a black hole and hello, we got plenty of warm spring sunshine across much of europe, and it will continue to be that way as we go on through the next few days if anything up towards northwest, it will warm up further as we go into next week at the moment, lot of cloud up here. big enough to produce some showers across sir scandinavia

longest bells of rain added little bit of snow as well. this is the dominant feature, this cold front there cause sensual parts, or we have allied a sherry, raid, some of those showers fun bri, they're going to continue seeking the way for the southwards and east was as we go through the next few days, warm sunshine continuing across much of the mediterranean, just noticed one or 2 showers coming back into west spain and portugal and become a little widespread. as we go on through sat stay farther north, the heat starts to build still some house there into scandinavia. joseph wanted to shout into the northeast of africa, but we have got to put on. one thing here is going to be the sand storm. the dust is blowing through just around the sahara. plenty or showers there around the gulf of guinea. good deal of wet weather. they're just coming into a good part of central and southern areas of nigeria, those showers becoming a little more widespread as we go through sas day, doing quite nicely on the seasonal rains. they standing all the way to sierra leone

. ah, join the debates. it is nor he job bad. didn't know if anyone here talks about women that i had to host with these from bill seem to have been says notes. so big is of the table. we were taught to see abortion one way, tickets true to health, all of the companies. they deny any responsibility, even though they have the resources in the power to fix that, where a global audience becomes a global community. the comment section is right here. be part of today's program. this stream on al jazeera. ah ah ah,

i'll come back watching al jazeera live from london. i'll mange story the body of al jazeera john as sharina blocker is now it's a hospital morgue and occupied east jerusalem. the veteran journalist was shot dead by his writing forces at the age of 51. a funeral will take place on friday and among those paying tribute around the world was palestinian president mahmoud abbas speaking est service calls are a symbol of palestine promised to seek justice that the international criminal court and israel's army is investigating whether or not one of its soldiers shot shooting according to reports from the washington post. initially, israel had said the journalists were more than likely hit by gunfire, which was from palestinian armed gunman will rally to commemorate sharon's life has been taking place outside the london headquarters of the b. b. c . the team, bob reports on that now when a wide range of people have turned up here in london to remember sharing. firstly,

there are journalists, some of them, palestinian others from different countries. this one is people who've worked for example, in the west bank policy going down to the u. k. spoke and denounced what he called the murder of st. eichler at the hands of the israeli forces. there of also been words of disappointment in the u. k. government for its perceived, weak response if in fact that has been a response really a whole to sharina killing. we've heard some of the names of other palestinians who've been killed by these ready on forties right out and we've heard demands for justice and reminders for decades. really that have been palestinians killed without any form of accountability and in most cases. but also there have been word to remind you of just what she remains to people across the

world are important as a journalist, her integrity and people show her death of feminine looks ready to apply for nature. membership after the prime minister and president said, it must happen without delay. phelan shares a 1300 kilometer border with russia. russian. it's quite fillings, nato aspirations as a threat. that lawson reports on this story now from helsinki. more neutral, but prepared, ready to defend the nation that long relied on its own military strength. these finish conscripts are practicing and that's tracked by an imaginary enemy for but since a russian invasion of ukraine, finland, which he has a board of more than 1300 kilometers with russia fill spartan by its large neighbor . obviously, obviously it showing that our neighbors are willing to use force if necessary,

and that changes things before the war and ukraine only around 25 percent of fin supported joining nato. but this has now gone up to 76 percent. a dramatic change in a country that was invaded by the soviet union in 1939 and made an agreement to stay neutral after the 2nd world war. and it must go to you made it, you made it so so obvious that we politicians living, representative democracy. we must respect also the people's opinions. and that's where we are the social democratic party, n p was one of finland, staunch his opponents of nato membership. not anymore. if you turn around for many in finland, believing for decades that stay neutral is key to the security. they know say that put into actions have pushed them towards natal, while rush has made it clear, it's not happy with this decision and that will react the fence. just hope it won't

retaliate. joining nato means finland will be protected by its article 5, saying an attack on one member is an attack on all, but it's the great period of a number of months before membership is formalized, that worries defense. while the u. k, in other countries have offered security guarantees to finish president is trying to reassure russia in my thinking this is quite simple. actually. we increase our security and we do not take it away from anybody. i am almost sure they will be not major issue some political this approach meant that's it. that i said that that's true, but no address. so i'm not actually afraid because i still trust limit that there must go. they have grades. that's also what the young soldiers are hoping for. i think if we were part of nato, then there would there would there would be so much backups.

so no, i'm not scared by that. having a well equipped army of nearly $300000.00 soldiers, finn and sas, it will be an asset to nato while these conscript, i'm looking forward to working together with other nations. joining the alliance will put an end to a long and peaceful period of neutrality. steadfast and al jazeera, helsinki. well, us has passed a 1000000 bathroom the covered 19 pandemic. this is the highest as any country in the world health by ex, but i'm still trying to figure out why so many people have died out there is rob reynolds, folks, a one person who lost her entire family and says the countries handling of the virus was unacceptable. 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, it was like, ok, i love you, everything's going to be riding and okay. i love you till. and that was the last conversation i had with him. david 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 davids 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 had 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, 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 as 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, but doctors are sure one thing cove it isn't finished with us yet. it's penetration has been such that it will be around us for forever. but it's not going to go away . a 1000000 dead and counting, rob reynolds al jazeera, los angeles scientists and unveiled an image of a massive black hole at the center of our milky way galaxy black hold called sagittarius. a star is only the 2nd one to be photographed. its mass is 4000000 times greater than our sons, but luckily it's 26000 light years from earth. first, we see that only

a trickle of materials actually making it all the way to the black hole. if such a star were person, it would consume a single grain of rice every 1000000 years. and while some michaels can be remarkably efficient at converting gravitational energy and to light. so do start traps nearly all of this energy. only one part in a 1000 is converted into light. so despite looking so bright on the simulated images, the black hole is ravenous, but inefficient. ah . how many stories this hour now in thousands of palestinians of paid tribute to slain al jazeera journalists, i will are close, been remembered as a voice of the occupy territory. she was shot in the head by israeli forces, and janine ali on wednesday body is now in a hot.
