6:02 pm
parents. let's go to her car spun, and nic clark, who was an occupied easter slim neck. it's a day many will remember not just because of serene funeral, but for the extraordinary scenes been mourners carrying her casket were beaten back . i'm ready for says top us through the events philosophy out there roll day. we been paying tribute to are murdered, colleague serene, and we were clear at sea very much as he says, voice and daughter of palestine. we're outside community who will pay it either way . she was born when she was raised, where she lived until people are coming to pay that condolences. the funeral has happened, the she's be late, arrested mount zion cemetery service took place in occupied east jerusalem, and near the old city. and before that, as you say is she in 40 was leaving the hospital. the extraordinary scenes, israeli soldiers attacked some of those people who were carrying the audience
6:03 pm
procession and force them to what to walk any further. and to put the body into a person. that's how street actually ended up with the church and the service could carry on as to say, we're at this community. all friends and family guidance come together to console one another to remember this extraordinary women who did so much to tell the world of the palestinian plights. and we can be speaking to serious nice in just a moment. but 1st, let's just take a look at how we got to this point, the side and tragic. quite just what happened to previous to this moment. serene was shot in the head by israeli forces on wednesday morning wall on assignment. when julie doing nothing else than simply her job, a veteran journalist in household name across palestine and the arab world shearing was a beacon of journalism that shown a light on all issues facing the oppressed palestine. a death is led to shockwave throughout palestine in the world. she recorded for al deserve 25 years and was
6:04 pm
committed to her call to tell the stories of those who don't have a voice or great story talent for almost 3 decades. she was heard in every room in palestine, despite the many challenges of living and working under what is the longest occupation in history, surely never gave off on telling the truth. in essence, she was exactly what al jazeera sounds for the voice of the voice. and she bodied those values right up until the day that she was killed and were here in the city where she was born, grew up and then spent a large part of her life dedicated to support. an extraordinary work. okay, to say we can speak now to sure and lisa it's to leave. i like to step forward when thanks very much as we offer academic support and this is out there and i'm sure we
6:05 pm
will ask, but she was so much, much more than my own. and she was my best friend. she was like a 2nd mom. she was someone i reached out to live in all situations. was my mom. she was someone i've been looking up to ever since i was a kid. i was, i aspired to kid to be like is, are when i grew up and i've always wanted to follow in her footsteps. but growing up i realize how difficult her job is. and she would tell me if you want to going to journalism or do not work in the field, it's very tough. it's very in the field. i mean, like on the street, it's so tough. it's difficult, but she always was supporting me and i need it for you. maybe just put your finger on just what it was about. why, why did she strike such report with so many people were talking thousands of people
6:06 pm
. she was a special and she had her own way of conveying the truth. her voice spoke to millions and ever since she was a kid that ever sorry ever since. she started 25 years ago, she entered the homes of everyone from the small. maybe she was able to reach out to the people she was able to it's the, it's very difficult to put it into words because she was just special. she was an expert. that's what she does. a most important issue with dedicated not just to her job but to the cause of house design. and in my opinion, i think that's what made her who she is and she was. and most importantly, her commitment to making sure that the people know the truth and her
6:07 pm
love for the people and spreading the truth with she really would've been surprised by this huge and come also out or in your career. i think she would have been surprised, but at the same time she knew about what she was love, but she was so humble and she was so modest. she never wanted to to be in the center of attention. mm hm. so she was always humble with what she does, she did well. and even though what we saw today was unprecedented, it has never been seen in the history of palestine. but i think she would have been very proud to see how that helps in which both supportive of her and supported our family during this tragic tragic day with all the people here today, thousands and thousands lenses thousands more. okay. today's pay their respects
6:08 pm
what to do in the peaceful way. but when you go to the hospital, it wasn't peace from the tool. but what did you make of all about it? it was why i was expecting it to be honest. i was expecting something would happen even though they had said every single those who leave. i didn't trust it. i knew they were not going to let this day go by peacefully. i was on the frontline this window were trying to exit someone to sit on while they were carrying their casket. and the true they were, they just stormed and they were beating up everyone. it was very frightening, to be honest because this is a funeral. that was a peaceful funeral. everyone was there to pay their respects. everyone was their sport, their to is to show their support and love. and at the end of the day, even in her day,
6:09 pm
she was not with that day the funeral was was violent with when people say that perhaps now my voice is even loud with her voice is louder and just to unite to definitely today she united housing everyone around, she was able to unite everyone, injure thousands of people, walking her and carrying her to the cemetery. that scene was just, it was, it's beyond beyond beyond words, beyond anything we've ever seen. and i think that is a testament to the job she did. and i really believe that
6:10 pm
she was able to touch so many parts in the past few days and dropped her 25 years with more support you with we're overwhelmed with all the support. so we're so thankful for everyone has been standing with us through this difficult time. what do you think finally about a course could be an issue with the change, a couple of questions. i really hope so. i really will just stick to serve. i really hope that a lot of the show of the chairs aren't just saying aren't just condemning get there. i'm just saying and just not just words. i
6:11 pm
hope words become action. and i hope that we move into a process where we actually where she being is actually in the just a i'm trying to be hopeful that his tragedy will actually bring an account to the team. but i also am afraid that this will be a precedent for other for other moments where during the start, kill them. nothing is don't. and i really hope that this isn't the same situation. in actual concrete action is taken to be able to have accountability with. busy very wise with would it be prod about cleaning a?
6:12 pm
well, israel has carried out more rain in the occupied westbank where she really calls or was killed on 11 people, repeated judy including the 2 people who were short with large 4 dozen been killed during israel variations in the city. some small israel says his actions are response to coveted. latino from abraham. what's the latest? you might have seen the pictures where shitty has been shocked on the floor. this is the place. it became like a memorial site where people are coming, taking pictures. some here were telling us that they didn't cry when their closest friends died when their siblings died. but they're here crying for shitty. she was here in the janine refugee camp, trying to tell the story that she started telling more than 25 years ago. people
6:13 pm
still remember when the is wouldn't be israeli forces re, did the janine refugee camp in the years 2002. she was here. she spoke to people. they remember her. they're saying that they don't believe that these really armies investigation is going to lead to any justice. the palestinian president has said that he believes that they are criminals, the israelis. so people here want an international investigation. they want the world to know what's happening to palestinians, and to journalists who are telling the stories of palestinians to the world. however, i had to stop, it would have been mission, as you would at the end. this is the life of journalists. we feel we have a moral and professional duty to be present and cover the advance and a list of what is hearing and i'm sheets, and i was showing them. okay. i am the one who greeted her. i'm the one who walked with sharina to the location, but it's all in the last thing. she reads, ed,
6:14 pm
it's tom ali was hit. so ha, for you. what am i to say? we grew up watching, sharing an experienced journalist and we're proud of her either. if i could, or in whom i scuttle, if they think they can silence us, we tell them we are all shearing a blocker. the hello, the palestinians of mark the willis that were shot. 123. we believe the fois had seen in the head. it was hard for us to come here to join. it was hard to tell families and friends was going to a place where our colleague, our friend, a beautiful soul has lost her life. but if you follow al jazeera, if you know the kind of journalism we do, we know, and you'll know that we won't be silent. we're keep telling the story. this is also what shitty would want us to do. why did it has long been
6:15 pm
at the heart of palestine that resistance against the illegal israeli operation ought to be 967 war to city in organ westbank came on the israel's control. there are an estimated a 14000 palestinian refugees living in the camp. they were forcibly expelled from the state of israel. was created in like 248 i during the 2nd intifada, israel wage a 10 day military campaign by air lands crush comes to him. uprising in the camp 1000500 palestinians were killed in the camp was raised to the ground. today the camp has one of the highest rates of unemployment and poverty in the occupied westbank gigi, israel separation war which restrictions on movement and denial of since may last year of the israel rate on the alex and mosque in the warm garza. out of the new home game ground, because the last 3 months is ready for a kid. 14 policy. so you have to name a israel,
6:16 pm
illegal occupation. look for you. in dyna, who, jr. palestinians, human rights law. it's dinah jeanine, very much the heart of the occupation, and that's for sure. and so from 4 to 4. yes. in fact that's in and large. where should in career began, she began working for just 1097. but the, the clock's and the, when people really started to see shitty was in 2002 with israel, and dated the camp and perpetrating massacre. she was one of the 1st of all to report from from julia and her reporting. there has not stopped it. it's very tragic that that is the place that, that israel ended up killing her. because that was the place where she did some of the best reporting of christian. i just leave it her niece about food catalyst to change the child to change. i do feel its possible. could this be any kind of cross
6:17 pm
road? yes i do. this is not a one, this is not a, this, not the palestinians who are, who are occupying israel to israel, who is occupying the palestinians. and it's a decision that can be taken a decision that can be taken by israel and a decision that can be taken from international community a part time meeting. so to see the fall of a part of is really important. but it myers a political decision. there is no political decision in israel is quite the opposite. there's a political decision to try to continue the occupation continue apartheid and to get rid of palestinians. but i would hope that there would be a political decision on the part of the international community to actually ended. and as i said, it takes one decision. that's it, we're not coming from. but this is, the problem is that we have long lived in a place where palestinians have been told that they are to vote, supposed to negotiate with their oppressors, occupiers with a gun to their head. they've been told that we're not allowed. was this even basic
6:18 pm
forms of resistance such as the boycott divestment and sanctions movement have been banned by israel and there are attempts to actually outlaw around the world as well . the problem for palestinians is we look around the world and we see that nobody is supporting has, and yet when it's come to ukraine, how quickly the world has rallied around ukraine, despite the fact that that israel has been doing to us much longer than has been going on and ukraine, there is an international political system. it just requires political will and sadly, that will is lacking. but i think that one thing that we've been seen seeing today is that will, the will of the me more is not lacking. and this is where my whole lives. i firmly believe that the people are going to lead and governments are going to far, right. we've been galvanized it. absolutely, absolutely. i think, you know, in the past where people would ignore calls for boy carson ignore calls for divestment ignore calls for sanctions. we now see that, that people around the world are calling for this and human rights organizations
6:19 pm
are calling for as well. because this story went around the world and it's, it's, it's true to shop faith is what's going on with the occupation. yeah, absolutely. you know, one thing that, that shitty and murder has highlighted is exactly what it's like to live as a palestinian, when they, when you try to report on what is happening here, the extinguishing interview. and then they cover it up and pretend that somebody else did it. they blame you for your own death. they point fingers the other way. they call for fake investigations. we might see it sorry in the next couple of days . but shitty, shitty and her murderer is also galvanized people and shown the world just how much she meant to us and, and how much energy there is. and how much of a desire there is to want to live freely. you can see in the way that they handle her, her coughing today. they be called there also, sarah, also holding up a flag,
6:20 pm
a mere fight. it is dangerous to them. a mere procession is dangerous to them. the idea that she wasn't allowed to be carried through the streets of church, that's a danger to all of it is that they're trying to control our lives a can try to control our death as well. we've been with you all day. thank you for that. what, what is your feeling now? it must be pretty wrong out. i didn't like it. you know, nick, i, it's hard to say i'm still not i haven't fully absorbed that she is no longer with us. it's, it's hard for me to it's hard for me to think of her in those training and making what we saw today was an outpouring of love, of support but also desire for freedom in it. and so, i mean, i haven't yet been able to process what her death means to me or what it means to
6:21 pm
others, because it's just such a huge loss. a lot of talk about the investigation at these railways, offered probably been, she did, she shouldn't take part in it, which they declined to have force. yeah. so it was more about that and what you think you'll often, you know, in my, in my previous life i worked and i was representing a government and some of the most difficult question that i ever got or strong palestinian church so far from palestinian journalist being the parents that people claim that they did that they are, it was these work journalists who are the hardest hitting, most in depth, most difficult germany. and so objective. so the idea that somehow a bullet is going to tell us more than what objective journalist witnessed what eye witnesses saw on the ground. it's ricky and should be,
6:22 pm
should we should all be looking at this with extreme sarcasm. israel has never conducted a proper investigation. you expect criminals to investigate themselves? of course they're going to lay blame elsewhere. i trust the eye witnesses. eye witnesses said exactly what happened and leave aside the eye witnesses. the only reason that shitty it wasn't in jeanine, was because the army was in jeannie. if only had not been there, if these really army had not been there shitty and not happy, and shitty would be alive today. they took a little decision assassinate for, and now they were gonna try to claim it somehow. it wasn't. that was that their hands are full of blood when they we know it. appreciate your time today. thank you so much. the for being with us to guide us through this. donovan. well, the, the murder of serene wrangler is the latest in
6:23 pm
a long history of civilian killing me. occupied territories, amnesty international report only this issue that success. if it is ready, governments have treated palestinians as a democratic threats. and that's ravi as morning when tracing crimes. israel's military has committed against palestinians. it can be difficult to know where to begin. ha, a timeline of subjugation that began in 1948 the atrocities. numerous, the suffering on go home. demolitions and force displacement have become routine. o endless checkpoints to restrict and control movement where palestinians routinely experienced abuse and humiliation ha dehumanization that pales in comparison. only to the massacres. perpetrated time after time. the
6:24 pm
post indian american journalist sharina targeted truly is only the latest in a long history of civilian death at the hands of israeli occupiers. shitty and a barclays 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 stand in the way of accountability and arm and support the israeli occupation that murdered city and of all clear as mud as palestinians. almost daily. i have the number of palestinian civilians caught in israeli crosshairs. seems endless. but some cases stand out in september of 2012 year old mohammed altura was shot and killed and gaza. video
6:25 pm
of his father jamal trying to shield his son from israeli bullet. became one of the most powerful images of the 2nd intifada. in 2017 in israeli snape shot and killed ibrahim, obliterated during protest against the u. s. move to named jerusalem as israel's capital. the wheelchair bound activists lost both his legs in an israeli air rate in 2008 in 2018 is really forces killed palestinian nurse rose on, on the jar as she tried to help a wounded protest her she became one of the more than 100 people killed during demonstrations against the grinding is really blockade of casa successive generations of palestinian leaders half turned to the international community for help. but decades of appeals have not slowed the pace of israeli abuses. what does your message going to be to israel? what is the united states message to israel regarding the situation and our message?
6:26 pm
and the ambassador gave that mash message very strongly to everyone, is that this has to be investigated. i'd has to be investigated transparently, and we're encouraging both sides to participate in that investigation. so that we can get down to the, ah, to why this happened our highest priority as the protection of american citizens. and the protection of journalists, it is so important that journalists be allowed to do their jobs without fear. and so our message again is less get to the bottom of this lesson. sure, this never happens again. wow. despite the public rhetoric, the u. s. government, israel's main ally continues to send billions of dollars and military aid to israel emboldening what rights groups described as an apartheid state with devastating consequences for generations of palestinians zane basra v ulta 0 ah, sorry, just a reminder. we're at the community center in bed. helena,
6:27 pm
where surrey was born, but she lived where she was brought up and people kind of to pay their respects. friends, place family, and it's a friend and particularly he's the palestinian ambassador to united kingdom has. who's on lots, i'm you sure you very well. i did, she did many palestinians should in was close to many, many she was a house, whole guest of beloved ones, or actually it was an icon, really an icon, a celebrity, if you made. and that's why you saw what you saw. i really wanted for the last 48 hours just to be by her graveyard. attend this moment of sadness and grief, but of pride of celebration for what she has done. remember, remember, she has made reports all of us, all of her life about 10 people. but why have martyrdom? she made history, and today she made this angel. so she made history yesterday in grandma,
6:28 pm
she made this to really be the day before and janine annapolis. she has gotten one eyes, the nation, and perhaps the freedom loving people who are glad. what did you make will come on to that element of what did you make of the events of today? first, the for thousands of tens of thousands of people who turned out to see her be laid to rest. and then secondly, these ready the responses read. so this is the story of, by this time for 74 years on the one hand, a loving people, a great people, rooted from stubborn people. people who are united, united by purpose, united by this to the united by love, love for each other. on the one hand, and on the other hand is the ugliness, ugliness, the pity of the occupation, occupation forces. not only the mother and janine, but they tried to spin it and to cover up by lies. and then when she arrived to her home town, they attacked their funeral. they attacked the mourners. this is the occupation we are talking about today was the palestinian story for 74. miss sharon has managed
6:29 pm
to reveal it at fun in front of that naked eye walled white and the she has managed to reveal not only the brutality of this occupied but the game of the seat. but this occupier has been doing for many, many years. blaming the victims, spreading lice, but surely in with her part of the truth because she was the messenger of the true as conveyed to the, to the truth about herself and about her people today. and i, i was watching worldwide. how many people were following this inspiring historic scene? it was a window and that international reaction, ambassador, you, our ambassador to the united kingdom kind of response was that it's not just the story of the middle east. it does not live up to the expectation, nor to the responsibility of the international and such blatant clear violation of
6:30 pm
basic human rights in such a deliberate murder of a journalist right in front of commerce. international community is required is expected to act rather than issue statements with maintenance of sorta sorta as for ordinary people. politicians and leaders and statesman and women have got to act and 14 long. they have not active for too long. we've been saying yes, even would be saying that if they don't act now with this blatant crime, i believe what will be under mine disorder, international system. but that's the point. is that how do you encourage action? i do encourage some kind of meaningful response to what's happening, my do and what, what's been happening here by doing what we're doing. number one, we do not trust israelis. regression system. you do not entrust the killer to investigate himself or herself. number 2, we crossed the international, legal and justice system. that is the i c c. and that's exactly why off was ition
6:31 pm
official on public. we seek international legal system. we signal international investigation, a neutral body, and we will corporate. we will refer the survey as you see, only do not technician can and must intervene and investigate and sanctions must be immediately applied. if this doesn't matter at sanctions elsewhere. the moment the international community will start acting rather than talking is a moment when we will see the next journalist, the next medic, the next child, the next bypassing enough. we're talking about more than 45 palestinians over this, have been killed by israel directly, deliberately over the last many years since the year 2000. so how can we stop this? this is the question will as well get rid of the people of palestine, you saw them. you said you saw the 10s of thousands today. we are here. we on every church, every mosque, every house, every shop. we don't claim jerusalem. we own george. we are here to stay. so the
6:32 pm
only way forward is that the international community apply the law equally. and what ukraine revealed is not only the double astronomers, but the hypocrisy of some international actors deploying the full rate of international sanctions. only in a matter of days on russia, but not applying one form of sanction, not even one for 74 years. this has got to stop and to date, the message by the policy, i mean people and for sharing is that today is a time for action, action action. if consequences are not brought. if accountability is not applied, we are only thing for the other tribes. and israel is capable of doing so many crimes uncovering up for i believe if surely does not touch the hearts of the millions, not only in palestine, but in the world. then we have to question all,
6:33 pm
we manage my friend. we did not build the international system to the rules case for small war system. out of nothing. we built it together after the horrors of the 2nd world war, the hollows of our ashima, the horrors of the holocaust. we built it because we want never again. but what is happening now is destroying the very premise and principles of that order. finally, ambassador. busy the investigation that you talked about. do you have any hope that anything will come of it that will effect meaningful change the investigation? of course we, this is the mandate of the united nations. this is the mandate of the i c c. this is why they are created to investigate war crimes and to investigate crimes against humanity. if they don't live up to their own mandate, they lose you so that our people will defend their church. daughter will defend ourselves. we will remain on the line. it is not a question about our commitment. the question now is about the commitment of the
6:34 pm
international community and the international consistent. it's a test and i assure you if they fail sharon's test, they will fail themselves for many generations to come. and they will not only for the palestinians, they will fail every human being on their i'm back to the thank you very much. that's awesome. i'm not the palestinian. you say gregor, a pastor to the united kingdom. i. we're going to take a look back now on the extraordinary life of our friend and colleague and the, the impact that she made across the world to marshall with a state like funeral for a journalist who dedicated her life to the struggle for freedom. oh, this trina barkley was killed by israeli soldiers on wednesday, but the veteran journalists legacy will live on the while she was alive. she was an icon in the arb speaking world and by murdering her
6:35 pm
israel has now insure it. her name has transcended even its own militarized checkpoints and borders reaching people the world over. okay, we were sending here what i know, what? no, but the book is born in 1971 sheree and grew up under the harsh reality of an illegal occupation that continues to strip millions of palestinians from their most basic rights in which was her quest for freedom that drove her to eventually pursue a career in journalism, korean had initially studied civil engineering as per her parents wishes. but her determination to seek the truth to manifest her freedom through journalism and to speak truth to power was too strong. she switched careers and eventually graduated with a degree in print journalism from the mac university in neighboring jordan. she began her professional career working for the united nations refugee agency on her way before moving on to the voice of palestine. and then frances monte carlo radio
6:36 pm
station knows that the provided is that idea. as a relatively unknown 26 year old sharina joined al jazeera shortly after the channel launched the mean, i have all of them. what i did, i mean she seen in this clip with jewish bureau chief related almighty at the introduces her to the audience both on aware of the impact she would go on to have both in life and jala had this. trina barkley quickly became a household name to her coverage of the 2nd intifada. and the crimes committed by the israeli occupation during its invasion of romanella and surrounding cities in the early 2, thousands speaking calmly yet confidently. her distinctive voice relate stories from the refugee comes in eager checkpoints, and even from inside israel's prisms, the more she reported the more israeli forces and settlers tried to silence her. but she never lost her composure nor her determination. beyond palestine should be
6:37 pm
an also reported from cairo, london, new york, and other cities around the world. she wasn't just a mentor to young girls and boys who watched her on their screens. the veteran reporter also taught journalism at beautifully at university empowering youth through education, and providing young people living under a brutal occupation with some hope that their voices will one day be heard should in dedicated her life to giving voice to the voiceless. her silenced voice must now be amplified by press freedom advocates to bring her colors to justice. ah, her body may be buried, but should in a barclay's name shall live on cheering of all kinds of ada albertson. right? yes. indeed, an extraordinary woman that we can bring in watch what you know is out zurich, white house correspondent, facts and colleague, and then a friend. yeah. if she really tell me what your impressions of her as a person,
6:38 pm
she was an amazing person. she was, she had a pure hearts, very beautiful, so she loved everybody, never held the bridges against anybody, no matter what. she wasn't beautiful human being and all the professional level city in was other than hardworking. she had at fashion for what she was doing. she told the story about is fine. she preferred to stay here and never need this lambs . julia was a us, it was, it was a lot of 0 she had then she held the she held us passport for so many years. but yet she, she could have been with me. she could have been probably the last her father, but she preferred to stay here in this land with andrew sent her home town east jerusalem to tell the story of the palestine to cover the major events and all the suffering of. yeah. did you have a talk to her about why she made that choice? she said this is where i read i out. this is my true
6:39 pm
identity and this is where i want to die. i mean, those were her words and actually she would, there were talks about possibly of her going to your brain to cover the war and you free. but then she was very hesitant because she was saying that i would die. i'd rather die here. i'm with, from a, from what my colleagues told me from their observations of her body. and these are colleagues will been covering this long if either from you or we sent in for so many years. they told me that i could be an explosive. would it look like, like probably an explosive goal that that was, that killed her and her had a lot of days,
6:40 pm
right. is other than that is right. is that according to observations of my 2 colleagues. busy observed her body and you were going to see it. i was gonna see her later this summer we had agreed to see each other later this summer and july and i'm on jordan. and she told me that she, we have to make it work this time because we could not, we failed to make it to make it recently and previous attempts for because of work schedule and so forth. but we were, we agreed and we were very firm that we would make it happen this time and we would enjoy our vacation together. and on monday and i was gonna have her stay over at my parents house with her. we could not meet there, but we are here. and i'm just,
6:41 pm
i mean what i saw today on the level of sadness of everybody here. the mixed emotions of tries and extreme sadness together. and hearing them cheering for her inside the church the day where she was out where they took her today. that made me the pride inside me of my friends, it rules 1000000000. it couldn't filled the world. i like shouldn't, shouldn't, as, as what jumps ocoee the white house spokesperson called her and legend and reporting. and she was, and everybody's house for 25 years through i just, you know, we all got to know the palestine through her eyes. we learned about the names of the, of the territories since directories the city is the towns from city. her voice is
6:42 pm

6:44 pm
they've been too busy with the grain now, but not yet. so what we're hearing that present biden probably is hoping to come here after the need to and she's having some issues that are coming up in june. so i'm sure if he comes here, it's about time to talk about the he didn't ease and that cause on the end, the suffering of the palestinians here. it's about time now with thank you so much. thank you. in just a long information. thank you so much. that said, what you recommend is the a white house correspondent. okay. if it's been a lot of talk about what happened with the issues you from both sides of the video analysis in fact contradicts israel's original accounts of the shooting out from
6:45 pm
katya. yes. mm hm. just out of the log 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 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 site is also far from the palestinian resistance fighter who was about 260 meters away. there is no
6:46 pm
line of sight between one location and the other. and in fact, our researcher interest taken him a few minutes to walk from one location to the other location. so is absolutely clear. there is no question about it. the footage on which day is really governmental bass, it's false claim is does not show gunfire. a bout has killed shooting a walk law and injured 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 for we were not aware at that point that she'd 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
6:47 pm
the u. s. envoy to the un has called for sharina killing to be transparently investigated. the announcement on investigation is one of the israel's most her tried and unfortunately successful in tricks and their blanket impunity. let's resume provides itself. israel does not investigate israel whitewash us and the investigation is just the 1st or rather the announcement on the investigation is just the 1st stage in sweetwater. uh huh. 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 castillo pistol. the yan out is here. we're going to go to a palestinian israeli member. the committee now a semi abu should at it is also a leader of the pilot. stay focused us to step as great as
6:48 pm
a little bit. thank you very much. first of all are real thoughts about how events unfolded today. one what, what, what happened today, including the funeral law, nick proves that the israeli occupation is preventing the palestinians from living and dignity from dying in dignity, from getting buried in the violent at deck on people who are praying in the church and for the funeral. and all this crazy while, as that happened along the old deep was people who are coming for a funeral is this is unfortunately in my point of view that he had faced all of the ugly things of the israeli occupation. and this what that what, what, what, what has been happening in the last few days by do? what do you think the legacy of, of sharina will be and the legacy of her death? first of all, hell is love that we are still, i'm believable. matter that wanted to be part of what was
6:49 pm
happening in the last to me did all this around when is on june rolls through this model that you're in is one of the most beloved people in the palestinian people. and people appreciate her work. we're trying to bring that to the world and to bring the real face of the israeli occupation to the world palestinians fall for dickie that she read. we're bringing the voice to the world and their interest as victims of the israeli occupation. we want the world to know the truth. our interest is that the world would know the truth, sheree and play the very big role in bringing the through the work. ready give us a window or what is life for you and your fellow politicians operating in mechanics? under the circumstances? under the circumstances only. we are in
6:50 pm
a far along with the vast majority of our, our colleagues records. this was a has enemies. we joint list who are certainly our men political agenda, is that to our 2nd and for justice and equality for all in this crazy situation, for people to want to keep jewish supremacy in everything in everywhere. we are considered extreme. the people who are fighting for justice and equality inside the state of his lead for all, all the feet. we are considered extreme and the racist roots to wants to give jewish supremacy. consider them factors. so it's very hard for us to be in the israeli can use it so was don't believe that bringing our voice is also there. it's still very important. and what kind of reaction was that when use of sri is killing
6:51 pm
filter trish? unfortunately, it happens all the time the 1st before there was no thought of support for the army before going anything before investigating anything before asking any serious question. they gave all their support for the israeli army. then they started to bring to the world, the narrative of the israeli army. and now they are trying to bring much more lies regarding all of what's happening. but i think nick, it's very important to keep what happened was jury in the context of this is unfortunate the daily life of palestinians on that israeli occupation in order to prevent such big, sad events, we should and israel occupation. what now for the investigation into killing 1st the fall of the ridiculous claims of the israeli prime minister and other members
6:52 pm
of the cabinet to we're part of the investigation committee. unbelievable. this is exactly one of the peaks of the israelis and the murderer is asking to be part of the committee that's going to investigate it, murder. so this is unbelievable. what we are fighting for. second, what we're asking for is to have an independent hilton national form. we did that, we did the investigation, this is what i thought them. what? so i'm thinking that when they were talking about their on perception of the going with them, if they believe their own lives, why out of their friends from an international independence committee? what are they afraid from going to the i see if they really don't believe their lives? i think it's a historical chance to go and prove their truth if they really do believe in their lives. but they know that they are lying. this is what they are terrified from the people who would know the truth. so how can we get to a point where
6:53 pm
a transparent and independent investigation is carried out? this is law year or the international are in the you and should do its role at least once and enforce such a thing on his own the you and can do that myself as a friend, the e u shooting is also an american citizen of the u. s. is there any, do believe that there's that? is there a friend at nits? do it once in the, after all this years of you pay should do it in the right. put serious the pressure and tell is well, that the, i'm not going to collaborate with instigation committee. they are going to pay a person. and what about the i c. c? i think we must go there. anyhow, i don't think that we should wait in order for me to stop any other broken or that just because of should we should start dealing with all the crimes
6:54 pm

6:58 pm
unto sorrow. my joy has kaiser correspond. emron khan, who is near the church in occupant east jerusalem, where screens funeral was held a little earlier to day iran, extraordinary scenes earlier near the church when the body arrived in the here in the hearse and israeli forces arresting people tearing off the palestinian flag of the hearse took a ser exactly what happened? well, we actually moved away from where the church was. we're actually beta, nina, where sharina blocker was born. but the scenes on that today were absolutely extraordinary. there was a moments where there was a peaceful protest, a going on, the palestinian flag was raised and then these railey police went in and arrested a man. and it was at that point a web bottles of thrown, were actually going live. when that happened. there were 10 arrests throughout the day at st. joseph's hospital where her betty, with a body was in a mood that before is brought to the church and then at least full arrest at the
