12:03 am
her remains then taken to a state service where the palestinian president honor to her he's out to seek justice at the international criminal court in bothell to day. we are here to pay our respect to sharing ob locklear, the martyr of palestine. the martyr of jerusalem and a martyr of free speech and a free world dog, a symbol of the palestinian women, a symbol of the palestinian journalists. sharina her sacrificed her life to defend its course and the cause of the palestinian people. 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 its own story, was shooting as friends we experienced with had this amusing person, pure soul, and innocent christian and johnny. this too old was waited for shooting to tell us
12:04 am
the story. we're losing to day a great story. turner, we have never expected that out. poor 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 shocked in the head and killed instantly in the occupied west bank on wednesday. ah, her colleague seemed to the right it's shed the hand asia. she says the attack on her team was intended to kill jani, but who did an aqua, molecularly, 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 your israel's
12:05 am
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 spare 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 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 philosophy. i just need
12:06 am
a media that's where it has described the 51 year old death as blatant birds are making clear, it holds israel. responsible city and body was then taken from ramallah through the color and just check for him 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 to him. alger zita, the occupied west bank mourners have been paying their respects and occupy the east jerusalem ahead assuring funeral on friday out there is stephanie deca was there the families here and friends, receiving condolences after the body of serene came to one of the hospitals here not to fight east jerusalem and where its remaining in the morgue until they bury her tomorrow. on friday while the police arrive there were 2 palestinian flags
12:07 am
outside that they placed on the gates or the police arrive. they remove them quite forcefully. and it was an altercation with some of the guys outside they were arrested. one of them are very provocative. really, a jury is really law that the policy in flag is illegal to be flown. but this is occupied, is drew, some under international law recognized as occupied land. so this is what palestinians will teddy was. just an example of something a very let's a normal situation. if you say a family and morning and even that are being confronted in that way. also just to tell you, sharina brother who flew in last night has been summoned. he was here earlier, has been summoned by the israeli police, apparently to be discussed in terms of how to undertake the funeral to morrow thing to police in a way concerned about potential numbers or how this will go. so again, you know, giving you a sense of the control that is here, but again, you know,
12:08 am
now just to bring you back here, you've got sharina, family, friends. also some of our colleagues from al jazeera sitting here, receiving warners receiving condolences. and i'll be here for the next couple of hours. and then as i said, the plan tomorrow are in the afternoon around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. the funeral will take place in a church inside the walls of the old city and then she'll be laid to rest next to her parents in a cemetery. here in jerusalem. will israel's army is investigating whether one of its soldiers shot dead sharina black lay according to reports from the washington post says the army is looking into 3 separate incidents connected to killing as well as the wounding of her colleague. so initially, israel had said that journalists were more likely hit by gunfire from armed palestinians, but then there will multiple eyewitness reports contradicting that claim is ready. forces are said to be carrying out ballistic testing on rifles of its soldiers,
12:09 am
while their hope is jamilla. well, and her, them, he either may of this might be a way to make 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 palestinian side with a bullet that killed sharina barclay. and i think they have nothing more to say now . no more justifications. and then now understand how much international pressure there is. that's why we have seen the statement lou and these really position is turning in a way of video analysis of why sharing was killed contradicts israel's initial account of the shooting. catchy lopez, how diane has more on that now? just out of the odd lot. shortly after sharina lockley was killed, 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
12:10 am
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 a few minutes to walk from one location to the other location. so it's absolutely clear there is no question about it. the footage on which day is really government base, it's false, claim is does not show gunfire. a bout has killed shooting
12:11 am
a walk law and injury, recalling a witness as is really forces were not under attack, was lawn. 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. 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. for me, 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, was israel's most tried, and unfortunately, successful tricks and good langston unit didn't resume, provides itself is really not investigative israel wines washers. and the
12:12 am
investigation is just the 1st or rather the announcement on the investigation is just the 1st stage in this whitewash. oh, many analysts say there skeptical justice will follow. israel has a track record of not punishing its soldiers who have committed crimes against palestinians. oh, and it's never jailed one of its soldiers for the killing of a journalist. katya little piece of the young. oh, to 0. 0 francesca albanese is the when special appetite on human rights and they don't get by palestinian territory. she joins us live now from tunas. so we've had a number of calls coming from the secretary general for a transparent and independent investigation into what happened also from the european union and the un human rights office of michelle by chalet. ideally, what would happen now?
12:13 am
hi miriam. so 1st of all, let me, let me put things in context. if you don't mind beginning the king of sharing and bradley's a tragedy and constitute another serious attack on media. freedom and freedom of expression over for the policy and journalist in u. p. t. has been reportedly killed in line of duty since 2100 injured or targeted for violence. and what does death, which is shaking the policy and community and the whole world is really is a continuation of violence in the o p t. and that has escalated over the past few years and months. this is the new israeli government coalition, beginning to power in due 220-2021. israeli versus us kill the says $76.00 policy and including at least 13 children in the new york city. in the last 2 months alone, there were 29 policy in fatalities. it does is somewhat unavoidable. the longest
12:14 am
occupation mother history, which has no legal, legal reason that requires a lot of violence and repression to keep them occupied population under time controls and without rights. and when you asked me what's coming next, next, we need to take into account that as many context, which are seen as humanitarian international community approaches the o. p t, with an emergency red flex responding to these events, like a sudden upsurge of violence. and this is very dangerous, if it's not fallacious, because the policy and situation is not an emergency. it's a political reality marked by protracted the legalities and impunity that requires firm action, base and accountability and respect for international law. this is not a ration from action by whom, how, what, what has to be the next step. now,
12:15 am
in this process, we have heard these calls for a transparent for a detailed investigation. but is anything going to happen? well, a t c t's to happen in the end because this is a keeling is attracting much attention, is going to translate into pressure over over israel to ensure and proper investigation. the point is that michael has beaten for an independent, a sorrow and a transparent investigation. independent means that he's to be carried out, but someone who has not the conflict of interest 8, and it's not about having faith or not, having trusted in these railey destination accountability system, but the track record of legal proceedings following an incident like these are very poor low i had on the move for
12:16 am
a d tenisha community to make pressure for an intern for an independent are going to an investigation to take place, to access to depot b t and gather evidence that can be used a for, for the losing the perpetrators to finally, be held accountable, but it sounds from what you're saying as though you don't believe that that scenario is, is really likely to happen in the best we can hopeful from these calls for that to be an independent investigation to hold those responsible is for that to be is for, for an israeli investigation to at least be more more thorough than we have seen in the past. do you think that it is, it's likely that that will be, that israel will be left to investigate itself, and the international pressure will eventually go away. his resumes or investigative system is well known, fulfilled installations. hundreds of new process, and most of time is regulatory. this issue,
12:17 am
each of the statements announcing dedicating these under examination, but the reality is that most cases do not we missed create criminal investigation. and details of the decision are not made public despite these were law requiring that military obligate general to provide reasoning for decisions including cases evolving actual combat. this is not, this is not the case in few exceptional cases. and this would be one of those where the keeling or injury was caught on camera or feel and receive the high level of public attention to findings and conclusions were made. ware made public but would have full load is never justice in the sansa needing what has been. the charges are often is starkly, commiserate, and is, is highly documented in the investigation that have been carried out by the independent commission of inquiries, or by radian policy in a civil society organizations. now, there is a and the reason of the movement on investigation as you
12:18 am
know, carried out by the by e i. c, c, prosecutor. and a few months ago, there was a formal submission by the international federation of journalists, requiring an investigation on that keeling of a number of journals for for journalists, garza and there will be a shilling of 2 media towers in garza, in 2021 these are the abu alyssa, killing, would be part and should be part of this investigation. but meanwhile, an independent and independent body needs to be sent to the, to the or p t. in order to gather evidence that amused by the office of the prosecutor that the i c. c has been so slow on palestine. yes. but it's also because that the pressure as being very high and on the,
12:19 am
on the icy and others including universal jurisdiction, you know, and universal jurisdiction has been tried many times. and he doesn't always feel the poor political reasons. i mean, the only he, we have a situation where it all is closer to body, to extend to justice and for political convenience, but these must end. so i hope that the tragic death of shooting unwisely bushes for again, a consideration of the broader context which is to lead to the dismantlement and the end of the occupation, which is a said he does not to and he does not justification. it's not temporary, it's not carried out in the interest of your pipe population. investors leading into the acquisition d. i'm in defacto annexation of temporary territory against the law. and finally, teen day by day international law and consensus on how the situation will kind of
12:20 am
and should be result. so that this is the broader context that should be addressed . thank you very much. in unity and accountability, francesca albanese and special repertoire on human rights. now my palace in territory, thank you for joining us on the news our all the palace enterprise, a man with a boss is taking the case to the international criminal courses who just hearing there. this is not the 1st time the course has been asked to investigate it. to investigate the targeting of journalist my is re forces pull, brennan has more on this. now from the hague. after years of wrangling over jurisdiction, the scope of such an investigation, the icpc here in the hague, began looking at what he calls the situation in palestine. in march of 2021. looking at incidence, both by israeli forces and by palestinian groups stating all the way back to 2014. but it was just last month that journalist groups brought evidence to the i. c. c
12:21 am
for investigation alleging that israeli forces were systematically targeting journalists and furthermore, that israelis, we're not investigating those incidents properly. now, what they're alleging is that that amounts to a breach of international law and may even amount to a war crime. and the death, the killing of serene clay is now going to be at the forefront of that case, what the palestinian authority wants and what the jealous groups is to add her to the existing names that are already listed in front of the i c c. so that the people responsible for killing shearing potentially are brought here to the have. now there is an issue in a sense that israel doesn't recognize the jurisdiction of the i c c. and also they will not cooperate with any investigation. but the fact is that if it is really official, or even a government minister has an arrest warrant issued against them by this court here,
12:22 am
they will faith the risk of arrest in any one of more than 120 i. c c members. and that could mean senior israeli officials coming here to the hague, not as visitors, but it's defendants in the air. katara says those are responsible for the death of sri and i will act lemme be held accountable. he expressed his condolences to her family and says her mother by occupation forces was a crime shows, i mean, been how much funny is into ron for talks of iran president on the story nuclear deal. oh, that's good them. but i see i express my condolences to sheree must family who is marked by occupation forces. i emphasize the perpetrators of this crime must be punished and the world shouldn't deal with this instant with a double standards approach to learn. well, alley, ambling in as great chair, the electronic intifada, an independent online news publication that focuses on palestinian issues. he doesn't believe that israel will face any consequences for the killing. the reason
12:23 am
there will be no accountability is because there is no precedent for accountability . it's just not part of israel's occupation. and it's also much wider than that. it's not just because israel ensures impunity for its soldiers. it's because the so called international community, principally the united states in the european union, but others as well, who fully support israel and make sure that israel is free of any consequences for its actions. and so i want to say that should, in our barclay's blood, is just as much on the hands of the united states and the european union and great britain and others, canada as well, who are stand in the way of accountability and arm and support the israeli
12:24 am
occupation that mud cherry in a ball clear as mud is palestinians almost daily a year is washington d. c. p. a chief abdur rahim, takara paint tribute. trina, black plant, the national press club city, new york. la was here working with us back in 2016 or covering the us election. and i can from personal knowledge through that encounter with her, ascertain that this is a woman of the highest journalistic caliber she is intrepid. and before she became a journalist, while she was a journalist, she was an amazing human being. while covering whatever story she was covering here or in palestine. the story for sheena brocklow was never either
12:25 am
partially or wholly herself. the story for her was always the story that she was covering. we shall all miss her. and i hope that this would mark a turning point in the long pattern that the world has known of killing journalists and violating press freedom in various parts of the world. shaheen, rest in peace. i spoke as years senior plesk iris moran, the sharra about to somebody images that we seen of sharing staff and whether it could lead to some sort of political change. 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, basically changed the course of vietnam. how discovering the dead nuns in unself
12:26 am
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. then could look for change. a valley to commemorate sharon's life has been taking place outside the london headquarters of the be be seen at the mother a pool. it's on that now. what a wide range of people have turned out here in london to remember sharing. firstly,
12:27 am
there are journalists, some of them, palestinian others from different countries. this one is people who've worked for example, in the west bank palestine dumbasses of the u. k. spoke and denounced what he called the murder of st. eichler at the hands of the israeli. on the 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 told to sharina killing. we've heard some of the names of other palestinians have been killed by the israeli on forty's right out and we've heard demands for justice and reminders. but 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 really meant to people across

12:32 am
its soldiers shot trina will, according to reports from the washington post, looking into 3 separate incidents connected to her death and the wounding of her colleague. initially, israel said the journalists were more than likely hit by gunman from armed palestinians. now in all the stories were following the you and human rights council has passed a resolution to begin investigating possible war crimes by russian troops in the key area and other parts of ukraine rights council members passed the resolution by an overwhelming majority. $3034.00, and just 2 against russia is denied carrying out abuses and what it calls its special military operation. port should be published early next year or in other developments. finland is looking to apply for nato membership. after the prime minister and president said it must happen without delay. finn and shares are a 1300 kilometer border with russia. russia describe finance nato aspirations as
12:33 am
a threat. step fos and reports on this now from helsinki. we'll go over more neutral, but prepared, ready to defend their nation that long relied on its own military strength. these finish conscripts are practicing and attacked by an imaginary enemy. oh, but since the russian invasion of ukraine, finland, which he has a board of more than 1300 kilometers with russia, feel threatened by its large neighbor. obviously. obviously, it showing that our neighbors willing to use force if necessary, and that changes things before the war and ukraine only around 25 percent of fin support to 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 ended much booty. you made it, you made it so so obvious that we politicians living,
12:34 am
representative democracy. we must respect also the people's opinions and that's where we are. the social democratic party m p was one of finland staunch his opponents of natal membership. not any more. it's a huge going around for many in finland, believing for decades that stay neutral is key to their 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
12:35 am
anybody. i am almost sure they will be not major issue some political disappointments, et cetera, et cetera. that's true, but no address. so i'm not actually afraid because i still try to limit that. so i must go. they have grades. that's also what the young soldiers are hoping for. i think if we were part of no, so 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 the conscript, looking forward to working together with auto nations joining the alliance will put an end to a long and peaceful period of neutrality steadfast and al jazeera helsinki.

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. it's not going to go away. a 1000000 dead and counting, rob reynolds al jazeera, los angeles, sidney security forces a fight tear gas and stung grenades at protests as rally against the countries military rulers. thousands demonstrated in the capital, hard term, demanding a civilian government, and expressing their anger at the stall transition. hibler morgan was there, protested enlisted in east capital ha to have once again taken to the streets on thursday. their protest thinks the military take over. that's happened in october and are demanding that the military handover power to
12:43 am
a civilian rule. now this come just a day after resistance committee, the bodies that have been organizing these mass protests have signed what they call the declaration of people's power, a kind of blueprint that shows their version for house to dance transitional period should be and include the military abandoning to dance politics and returning to the barracks and civilian taking over power, including and the legislative assembly and the executive cabinet. now, the military and the, our civilian or rather political parties are supposed to thought some kind of a dialogue mediated by the african union. they enacted nations mission here, incident and the regional inter governmental authority for development. but that tripartite effort is facing challenges. some major political parties have refused to enter into direct talks with the military, while all the said they were not even invited. and it shows the challenges that there's an effort to try to bring together all the political stakeholders in sudan
12:44 am
is facing well voting, their opposition to military rule protest. this also pay tribute to the algae there . a journalist who was killed in the occupied westbank by israeli forces that sharina block law security forces used tear gas to prevent protesters from advancing towards the republican palace, also known as the presidential palace. now they have been accused security forces have been accused of using excessive force against protesters leading to the death of more than 90 protest. as since the thought of the takeover last october and to the entering of hundreds of others despite the deaths and injuries. and despite the use of force by security protest, this continued to take to the streets. they said they want that declaration that they find become a reality. they want a transitional government that is led by civilians and where people have the power and not the military. so scientists have unveiled an image of a massive black hole at the center of our milky way galaxy. it's called a sagittarius, a star. it's only the 2nd one to be photographed ever. math is 4000000 times
12:45 am
greater than our sons, but luckily it's 26000 light is away from us. first, we see that only a triple material is actually making it all the way to the black hole. essentially star, we're a person, it would consume a single grain of rice every 1000000 years. and well, somebody else can be remarkably efficient at converting gravitational energy into light. so do you 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 image of the black hole is ravenous but inefficient. elizabeth fessler as a child left at the sky at night magazine ad and joined us now from bristol. can you just give us a bit more detail on, on that comments about this being ravenous and inefficient? what does that mean? what happens with black holes is generally surrounded by
12:46 am
a debris called and the creation that stuff them to break. it slows around the black coal. i'm creat, there's a lot of friction between those various possible bumping into each other and this creates a lot of lights. i'm so the, the black coal consumes that sometimes it comes in. and so that's what they mean by that robin. this is what causes huge, huge amounts of this stuff, but it doesn't give off as much heat like as you would expect from something consuming. that's a lot to us, which is why it's not very efficient. and why is this an exciting development but this is a technological our mobile image was taken with a telephone all across the world working together. 6 and it was a huge collaboration between hundreds and hundreds of people, folks from that perspective, it's an absolutely huge achievement. but it also going to be really key in learning
12:47 am
to understand about galaxies on how they function, how they were created. every galaxy that we know pretty much a reading that one of the super massive black holes that hawks. and they are key to understanding how they've got these form created, which kind of the galaxy or the black hole. these are really big questions to understanding that whole process, which is key to kind of ultimate big question about how did the universe for why does it look the way that it does? it's one of the key points of the astronomy, right? so this is all about trying to understand how galaxies, form and function. can you tell us more about the image itself? what does it show? why is it an a shadow of the black hole rather than the black call itself? well, when you picture a black hole, is it flex as it name?
12:48 am
it absorbs all of the lights that would shine out. one of the reasons why that block is for the singularity. it's the point where the gravity is so intense, but not even like, you can't image the thing itself. what you do is look at the like, but get been around it. so alpha like from, from this behind it streams past the black hole, it getting vent as it was talking through lens. and it creates the range of bright light around it. so that's what we're saying. we're seeing the shadow, which is the dark hole in the middle of that light like this. it comes around a lot. so how many is we've been searching for this? so they took actually took this picture back in 2017. so they've been working on but they yes, so it's quite difficult. i think it was something like 5 as the basis i have to go for, which is 5000000 gigabytes. so it's quite
12:49 am
a long time. but people have been wanting to image black hole is the black holes very actually been known about for, for about 5050 it and that was for a long time they will say people was entirely sure if they were real or not. so the fact that we've actually managed to image black holes, the shadows of walk holes has been up and can they be dangerous? if you are right next to one, probably. but they're not going to say pose no danger to care on that. so there is a popular truck and a lot of side by movies the space ship gets to by holding it cuz it's got a huge amount of gravity. but most holes are in the sense of galaxy. there's very, very just so there's no danger one's having any effect on that. and what do you
12:50 am
want to see happen next? how can we build on? i suppose it's remarkable that technology was able to capture this image. but where does this investigation go from ham? well, one of the things that will happen is that this image and all of that 5 petabytes of base will get disseminated to the entire seat assigned to the community. not just the people who are working with events, right. and so they'll be able to start testing them models and their ideas and these based theories that they've been creating for decades. so finally, be able to actually look at against a real life example of a black hole that's really exciting. and also the event horizon. telescope that they're hoping to do another one at some point in the future, trying to image even more holes. this is only sort of western people's side to 40 possible. and so hopefully, moving forward into the future, we might get another shot more black holes in different galaxies,
12:51 am
and i'm really add to on, well, they just do it. what's our appetite beyond the sy fi stuff that you mentioned. thanks. i watch elizabeth pierce and appreciate it. an easier now with the sport. thank you so much mariama. let's start with the premier league and the race finished inside the top for an englanders taken another twist asked no, had the chance to secure a champions league spot for next season, but their hopes of meeting cedric london, rivals, tottenham pretty much extinguished in the 1st half hurricane storm the opener. arsole and had defended rob holding cents off after he received the 2nd yellow cart . 4 minutes later saw an doubling their lead hold without cain robbing another. this sun from close range. not long after halftime spurs were 3 mill insurance when sun him meant round the target and that is how it stay, despite the loss hostile remain false in table of an artist. one point the head of sultan with su, games left in the seas. ruffin. adela suffered
