one standing here has his own story, was shooting as friends we experienced with had this amazing person viewed sword, an innocent christian jordan, the school always waited for serene to tell us his story. we're losing to day. a great story teller. 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 palestinians 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 yanine already then aquila left the land,

the occupational forces 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 terrain. so if they can cast doubt, if they can muddy waters around the death serene by possibly getting newspapers in the international spare to suggest that she was killed by a palestinian, they have been successful called 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. you 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. disease media network has described the 51 year old death as latent birds are making clear it with israel, responsible to the city and body was then taken from ramallah through the district point to jerusalem, where she was born on friday, there will be a funeral service in jerusalem, the very place she did was proud to call home him alger, zita, the occupied west bank is where the army is reported to be investigating whether one of its soldiers shot sharina. but actually that's according to the washington post. it says the army is looking into 3 separate incidents connected to her killing, as well as the wounding of her colleague. initially,

israel has said that the journalists were hit by gunfire from armed palestinians, but i witnessed his reports. good, contradicted that claim. the israeli forces of heads now to be carrying out ballistic tests on the rifles of several of its members. while the heavy jimmy, well has them he's either may have do. this might be a way to take the road for israel to acknowledge it is the reason behind is killing . yesterday. they were trying to get the bullet that is now in the hands of the talisman side. i would a bullet that killed sharina barkley and i think they have nothing more to say now has no more justifications and they now understand how much international pressured there is. that's why we have single statements lou and these really position is turning in away the home. well video analysis of where sharon was killed contradicts israel's original accounts of the shooting catch. lopez. how diane has bull us just out of the hot book. 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 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 babs has killed shooting walk, law and injury, recalling a witness as, as really forces were not under attack was lawn 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 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 on investigation is one of israel's most

a tried and unfortunately successful. it tricks and blanket impunity didn't resume provides itself is rosalyn not investigate israel whitewash? yes. and the investigation is just the 1st or rather the announcement on the investigation is just the 1st stage. in this whitewash. i got 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. oh, and it's never child. one of its soldiers for the killing of a journalist. katya little piece of the young al jazeera washington has cool for transparency in any investigation into the killing of sharina black. the white house correspondent kennedy hall kit has more. president biden is set to host king abdullah of jordan and his son in the oval office on friday. it's an effort to

promote stability between is re lease and palestinians in the midst of escalating tensions that includes the killing of journalists, serene acclaim. here's what the white house press, secretary gen saki had to say. we encourage both parties to do so thoroughly and transparently, and to share their findings, to ensure that all evidence in this case is available and fully assessed. we stand ready to assist either party in any way that we can neither side as ask for our assistance at this time, and such a request would required in order for us to do so. president biden is scheduled to visit israel next month. the details of the trip have not been released and it's unclear of the white house will use the visit to press israel for accountability in the death of serene abu, our clay. i won't bother as a palestinian american political analysts, and he says as a long list of crimes for which is writing forces have not been held accountable.

this is a really horrific murder by an israeli army that has utter disregard for palestinian life because of a culture of dehumanization where they don't see palestinians as equal human beings on a culture of impunity. that is well documented by every major human rights organization in the world were simply, they don't get held accountable or hardly ever when they commit horrific crimes against palestinians. and that culture has created a pattern in which journalists and medics and human rights activists are regularly targeted with killings and shootings and beating slaves. and that's really happened to at home more in this case, just because of who shooting was the way much of mainstream u. s, media, what i'm exposed to i'm has dealt with this is really on a front to journalist integrity. they have refused to write to lay responsibility for this killing where it belongs to these really army. you know, they keep referencing to sri and being killed by bullets without ever mentioning

who fired the bullets. and that's because they take, is really government propaganda at face value in a way that is just utterly shocking and makes absolutely no sense if you just compared to what's happening in ukraine. u. s. mainstream media makes very clear that the russian government cannot be trusted when it comes to its word about the crimes being committed against ukraine. because russia is an invading an occupying force. and yet, even though israel has been an invading an occupying force in the palestinian territories for many decades, somehow there is a different standard there. and even though they have a lengthy record of dishonest propaganda that is disproved by endless documentation by the united nations about human rights organizations, they still do this both sides reporting where they say they don't know what actually happened because these really government claim something. and that really is, is something that absolutely has to change avenues from around, allows coming up on out to sara. i rally against military will ensue, don turns violence will bring you a report from the streets of the capital contain. and so valenze identity,

how general elections on sunday are shaping up to be the most important in years. ah, the journey has begun. the fee for world copies on its way to capture your travel package today. hello for hot and dusty, summed up the weather across the middle east over the next couple of days. not too much cloud sharing. uh, not too much wet weather in the forecast, so we are back to the dry stuff. then we got a very cane shamal just blowing down at east side a saudi arabia for ref, friday, running across us here in na carter. and that will do a little lift. it doesn't sound like a hazy sunshine temperature to fall back to around 34 celsius. but trust me, you don't really want to be out in it. when you read on the strength of that weight,

it is going to be pretty unpleasant and temperature picking up around $34.00 celsius for damascus on the hot side across still of an over the next day or so. and jerusalem also joining up with the heat at that state and those temperatures around $10.00 to $12.00 degrees above average here warms to just to round that to easter side of each it $33.00 celsius for kyra lifted. dustin sat here as well, cost in upper that dust across the sahara hamilton when blowing down was more than pies of nigeria central and southern parts of nigeria, things and very heavy right. and the seasonal showers continue to make their way of further westwards across a good part of west africa. heavy showers, the central parts of africa, but largely dry to the south. i saw a special airline of the journey join the debate. there is no, he job bad to go. you know, if anyone here talks about women that i took was the justice. this bill seemed have been says notes. so big is of the table. we were taught to see abortion had

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 that, where a global audience becomes a global community. the comment section is right here. the part of today's program, this stream, or now to sierra, ah, the hello again, you're watching, sarah, i'm sorry, thousands of palestinians have paid tribute 0 john. the serene at his state, held in her own enrolled molla stream was shot dead by israeli forces in the occupied west bank. on wednesday, the body of the veteran journalist is now at

2021 in israeli air raid brought down a building in the gaza strip that housed local people and international media offices, including those of all to do press freedom advocates said it was an attempt to silence journalist the a month later israeli police destroyed your equipment and arrested jerusalem correspondent, but i was breaking her head in the process. witnesses said her press sun was clearly visible and the rest was unprepared. of luckily was also in her press fashion and helmet at the time of her death. time and time again, it has been shown that israeli forces kill palestinians including palestinian journalists without cause in the occupied territory. and it's very extra, extremely rare that israeli soldiers, captains,

or military officials are ever held accountable for their actions. israel often uses what it calls secret evidence to detain palestinian journalist for months without due process and restrict their movements attacks by israeli forces. i'm also left dozens injured, a palestinian centre of human rights report in 2020 found journalists face, quote, cruel, inhumane, and degrading treatment at the hands of israeli forces. in the wake of workers death. israel's army says it does not target journalists and his foreign minister suggested conducting a joint investigation and autopsy, and offer palestinian leaders refused. israeli forces have directly targeted journalists with lethal force in the past. in 2008 israeli soldiers killed reuters camera man. fidel shot he filmed the tank as it fired the shell that killed him. his final image is captured on tape before his camera was destroy. shanar too was

a pressing issue. but russia is cooling, finland's nato aspirations, a threat that bus and reports from helsinki. what about neutral, but prepared ready to defend the nation that long relied on its own military strength, these finished conscript practicing. and that's tracked by an imaginary enemy for 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 neighbour. obviously. obviously it's 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 the 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 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 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 trust limit that there's so much school 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. so it gets off by having a well equipped army of nearly 300000 soldiers, finn and sas. it will be an asset to nato, while the conscript are 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. thousands of protesters in argentina have taken to the streets in the capital, one of the areas to voice, the anger against rising inflation. the, they're demanding more work, higher salaries and for the government to renegotiate his debts with the international monetary fund. sudanese security forces have fought tear gas and stung grenades at protests as rally against the country's military rulers. thousands demonstration, the capital caught him demanding a civilian government. hipaa morgan has more protest. this is denise capital hard to have, once again taken to the street on thursday. the protest thinks the military takeover that's happened in october and are demanding that the military handover power to a civilian rule. now this come just a day after resistance committees, the bodies that have been organizing these mass protest have signed what they call the declaration of people's power. a kind of blueprint that shows their vision for

how 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 civilian or rather political parties are supposed to thought some kind of a dialogue mediated by the african union. they enacted nations mission here into dan and the regional into 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 best effort to try to bring together all the political stakeholders in sudan is facing. well, i think their opposition to military rule protest is also pay tribute to the out. is there a journalist who was killed in the occupied, westbound by israeli forces that sharina block law security forces use 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 protested, leading to the death of more than 90 protesters 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 by security, protesters continued to take to the streets. they say 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 have been protests in the philippines against voting irregularities during monday's national elections. at least 1800 vote counting machines. malfunctioned on the day elections commission is auditing the results. early results give further markers, junior more than 31000000 votes, more than double his nearest competitor. a familiar face as back as for lancaster,

election and existential battle to regain lebanon's identity and, and what they describe as iran's occupation, but they faced a strong enemy. what you are going to see as a outcome of this election probably is that you're going to see his, bela and ally, and forming a very big parliamentary alliance. while the opposition to has been very fragmented. forces opposing has below are many, but they are not united divisions among muslim. suddenly politicians hasn't helped their leader side of how do you this decision to suspend his involvement in politics and that of his party left a vacuum that could be filled by some news. i like to has below 27 parliamentary seats are reserved for the community under 11 on sectarian power sharing system. the community has thus far remained very lukewarm via the elections. and

particularly this is not only because of subtle how it is actions, but rather because there is no real alternative and the elephant in the room, his book is not being confronted by anyone, has been law and armed. muslim she a party that stronger than the state says the elections are its most important political battle. saudi arabia withdrew from lebanese politics in recent years because of hezbollah dominance, and has shifted its approach. its re engagement seems to be worrying its opponents party leader has on the rela, accuses the country of using money to secure a victory. similar to that, the chief by the sunday muslim the block in 2009 had a few days on sale. political fault lines have long run through this country. and sunday, selection is set against the backdrop of a wider regional struggle. when by has and its allies, woodson and lebanon in iran's fear of influence. the opposition knows it may not win a majority,

but it doesn't want the hezbollah alliance to take 2 thirds of the seats in parliament. that would give it the power to institutionalize a new sectarian balance of power. then there elisha 0 about carrying suspected migrants has capsized northwest of puerto rico, killing 11 people. it was supported by u. s. customs and border protection helicopter. on thursday 31 people were rescued by the u. s. coast guard and the dominican navy. more now on our top story, the killing of serene ab locklear by us israeli forces palestinian artists are paying tribute to the al jazeera journalist. they painted a large mural in garza city on friday. there'll be a funeral service and bait honey in occupied east jerusalem. she's the 12 for al jazeera journalist, killed since the networks creation just 25 years ago. these are their names ah
