time is regulatory issue. you shall have a statement announcing, dedicating the under examination, but the reality is that most cases do not. we missed grade criminal investigation and details of the decision are not made public despite these while lowering the 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 keening or injury was caught on camera or feel and received a high level of public attention to findings and conclusions. are made. ware made public, but would have full load, is never justice in this hansa knew what has been charges are often is starkly, commiserate international on palestinian media group, submitted a formal complaint to the international criminal court last month, using israel of war crimes against journalists, the committee to protect journalists says 24 journalists not including sharina,

a culture of impunity. that is well documented by every major human rights organization in the world where 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 had home more in this case, just because of who shooting was the way much of mainstream us media. what i am exposed to, i'm has dealt with this is really an affront to journalistic integrity. they have refused to write to lay responsibility for this killing where it belong to. these really are me. 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 compare it 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 you. frame because russia is an invading an occupying force. and yet, even though israel has been an invading and 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, by human rights organizations, they still do this both sides reporting where they say they don't know what actually happened because these really government acclaimed something. and that really is, is something that absolutely has to change and solidarity valleys have been housed elsewhere, the walls and sitting outside the london headquarters of the b, b. c. d baba was there when a wide range of people have turned up here in london to remember sheree personally, 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

james favorable, german foreign minister, and elaine, a bad bulk is now the host for a flurry of high level diplomacy. she returned home from a trip to ukraine earlier this week. and is now sharing a meeting of foreign ministers of the g 7. they'll be followed by nato and european union meetings to try an increased pressure on russia and support for ukraine. one country though is causing major problems, hunger, his prime minister, victor oberon, reelected last month, opposes further energy sanctions. the u once a ban on russian oil imports by the end of the year. even though hungry and slovak year will be given exemptions or ban is still threatening to veto. the question is, if hungary it shows because solidarity to 8 pm allies and partners are each shows bigger, solidarity with putting russia. so i very much hope that the end hungry

will make the right choice, because it will be ready impossible to square their participation in you and the nato. if they continue to blog this, the sanctions because because of special tides, which was pretty if you drive about 3 hours from where the g 7 foreign ministers are meeting a long, germany's bolted coast brings you here to look men. this is where the north stream pipelines which run from russia to germany terminate this place sums up what's been achieved by the west in recent months. unprecedented steps like the moth balling of nord stream to something the u. s. had been demanding for years, but the other pipeline node stream one is still operating. it delivers 55000000000 cubic meters of natural gas to germany a year. an indication of the vast sums. europe continues to pay to russia for its

energy. and let's go live now to james base his in vice and house. and so 3rd security is going to be a big topic there today. then james, on able to get us credit, which are under russians. okay. yeah, that's one of one of the big topics. the term we discussed at this meeting, the ukrainian foreign minister, demitra caliber just arrived in the last 2 hours here to join the g 7 foreign ministers. i think the, the feeling here speaking to some diplomat is that they got to keep up the momentum . we're now nearly 3 months since the invasion of ukraine, and there's a feeling that perhaps after the initial shock of that, that the public is getting a little bit less interested, the press, perhaps getting a little less interested. and potentially then the, the political class will get less interested and move on to other issues. so what the g 7 wants to do is focus on where we are right now, particularly on isolating russia. i'm, we have other meetings coming after this g 7 straight after nato foreign ministers

meeting an e u for not foreign ministers meeting the idea to keep up the momentum. in fact, as you're even doing all the french foreign minister said, we're going to support ukraine until victory. that's his words are just a moment ago. as you say, the issue of you cry, a grain is an important one for the e. u. i spoke to the e u foreign policy chief, joseph burrell. he says they're trying to work out ways to deal with the grain that stuck inside ukraine. there's about $40000000.00 tons, which is creating a world food crisis that they can't get out of ukraine because of the see route. they normally use 90 percent normally come out. why see can't be used the you setting up selling the cooling solidarity lanes. a fast track using the. busy rail system to try and get that grain out to the e. u and then to the wider markets around the world. but it is a very difficult problem and it's one, not just the you, the wider g 7 and the global community are going to be looking at in the come alice

. alright, james. ne, thank you. yeah, what russia says, it regards van linds nato aspirations as a threat after the nordic country moved closer to applying for membership, finish the the say, the process should happen as quickly as possible. that foster reports from helsinki . what about neutral, but prepared ready to defend the nation that long relied on its own military strength. these finished conscripts are practicing and attacked by an imaginary enemy. but since the russian invasion of ukraine, finland, which he has a board of more than 1300 kilometers with russia. phil sutton, by its large neighbour, obviously, obviously shown the 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 ended much booty you made, you made it so. so we are. so we politicians living, 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 nato membership, not anymore. it's a huge done 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 it will react the fence just hope it won't retaliate. joining natal 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 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,

felon says 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, north korea says 6 people have died from one's belief to be a larger break of cove at 19 and nationwide lockdown, imposed after the 1st official corona virus case was announced on thursday since then, more than 350000 people have fallen ill with nearly 190000 and put in isolation of career is one of the few countries that hasn't vaccinated. it's called population ronelle would claim a singer has been sworn in as for the anchor's prime minister for a 6th time, he succeeds for hinder roger boxer. resigned on monday, after weeks of demonstrations calling for him and his brother, who's the president, to go protests, have been held for weeks against the government's handling of an economic crisis.

leasing 9 people have been killed and hundreds injured. and all fernandez reports from colombo that the latest government re shuffle is unlikely to end demonstrations. verano vicar missing her, who now basically will be the main occupant of the building behind me, the official residence of the prime minister of j. longer for deborah dream. he is somebody who basically lost his parliament. he did the last general election, his party, the oldest party political party in sri lanka, and politics was thrown out of parliament under his watch. and for the people seeing this individual brought in as the prime minister, without even having the legitimacy of being represented in parliament, being selected by the people is an issue in terms of his ability to steer the country out of the doldrums, the economic crisis. it's amazing, he is someone who has been around who has

a certain amount of credibility with the international community, with lending institutions with western government because he has engaged them over the years during the various times that he served that he's headed government. so yesterday the government was very keen to announce that even the japanese government had made an indication that they would be helping felucca out after i run over grimacing has appointment. we also have the stock exchange creep slightly up, a towing owl to the killing of elders. our journalist, sharina barkley, hall brennan, at the hague, looks at the push for an investigation by the international criminal court. after years of wrangling over jurisdiction, the scope of such an investigation, the i see, see here in the hague, began looking at what he calls the situation in palestine. in march of 2021. looking at incidence, spoke 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 for investigation, alleging that israeli forces were systematically targeting journalists. and furthermore, that the israelis were not investigating those incidents properly. now, what they are 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 actually, 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, they will faith the risk of arrest in any one of more than 120 icpc members. and that could mean senior israeli officials coming here to the hague, not as visitors, but as defendants and palestinian artists paying tribute to serene, painted a large mural in garza city. shriek is the twelth al jazeera journalist killed since the network launched 25 years ago. these are their names. ah, ah,
