8:08 pm
off. she was very humble, she always helped people, the amount of people that came and told us this year even help them is unbelievable . she never came and told us that i yes, i help this person or i did not to this person. she was very helpful. she always like to help people, she was always there for we can see that how much everyone loves her right now. we, we've all seen this has been proven historical. what happened today. i knew of following him, have footsteps on studying journalism saralitos abroad. i'm studying radio and tv. she changed up my whole career because i saw how that song she is the how much she loved her can job. i was young, i always stand beside the tv. i always like hold the microphone and be like should enough, anita? i'll cook some stuff,

8:11 pm
little altercation, getting a message, i pretty much, i'm not quite sure what's happening, but clearly there's some disagreements in can you give us a clue? so what's that? oh, i need to step back a little bit. what's happening with exactly what's happening, but i think someone's like with everyone who's sending those forms, i'm just occupation to try to, to break a stand beside or do appreciate you speak with i. she's right
8:12 pm
behind. perhaps understandably all for you to see a i think thank you for that. oh, nick law. let's go to a colleague among khan, who is at near to where nick is at in a near where she is being more machine is being mourned air iran external scenes earlier today. are you not there now near the chat where the, when the body arrived in her, israel forces arresting people a lot of emotions. and it took us through some of the events off today. you were right there. it was extraordinary that said the one word that everybody who was there has used it every told me they'd never seen anything quite like it. as the body arrived in that car, though, as hundreds of more is going back froze,
8:13 pm
we thousands is very difficult to get a number in when you're in that such a small place, but probably in the thousands going back at least a quarter of a mile. and as the car came in very slowly and they moved in from jeff again, it's like a straight way. and then you take 2nd left and then you go in to the church about point a palestinian flag was raised in the back of the car. and that's when the israeli forces are really went in to try and get that flag actually smashed the re window. and grabbed the flag, but even in her death, serene how blacklight managed to highlight one of the things that people feel when they are under occupation, just behind me, there is a lot of, it's been a very emotional day. people are coming out. there's a bit of a scuffle going on. it was, seems like that that we actually saw today because people are very angry about what happened to sri in albuquerque and iris. like i say,
8:14 pm
what happened was that the window was smashed, i grabbed the flag even in her desk. she managed to highlight what is like living under occupation now in 2021 september israeli judge rule that it was an illegal for palestinians to raise that flag. however, people as still being arrested for it and people were arrested today for in front of us as we were there, are these ready forces they moved in, they were pushing people away. 33 people were injured. but that pales in comparison to the scenes at the hospital in shake draw where her body was held overnight before coming to the church. what will happen? there was the moon as wanted to bring her, bring her by her hand and foot. there was wolf. well, 45 minute walk to the church, they weren't allowed to do that. the mourners brought her body out from the hospital into the courtyard. and these ready forces with immense force i have to say started attacking the moon as the cask actually fell to the ground. so it's
8:15 pm
been incredibly emotional day for palestinian. she's been described, serena block that as the daughter of jerusalem, that something that we kept hearing all day. but most the people there who witnessed this was speaking to us, said that they'd never seen anything quite like it in recent years. and this is the way serene. i lived her life as well. her reporting was always by showing your side of palestine that know of the media organization would show. okay, we were just looking at those pictures. and now of the extraordinary scenes that we saw earlier today at thank you for that. i am on con, there for us in a teena. for now, let's take a look back now the extraordinary life of fall, friend and colleague, and the legacy she leaves. this state like funeral for a journalist who dedicated her life to the struggle for freedom i. trina barkley
8:16 pm
was killed by israeli soldiers on wednesday. but the veteran journalist legacy will live on the while she was alive. she was an icon in the arb speaking world and by murdering her israel has now insure it. her name has transcended even its own militarized checkpoints and borders reaching people the world over. okay, we were standing here, what i know, what nobody was born in 1971 sharina grew up under the harsh reality of an illegal occupation. that's 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
8:17 pm
and eventually graduated with a degree in print journalism from the university and 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 station knows that it's okay. it is that idea as a relatively unknown 26 year old sharina joined al jazeera shortly after the channel launched. as i mean, i have all of them. what i did, i said he was she seen in this clip with jerusalem bureau chief a little on monday at the introduces her to the audience both unaware of the impact she would go on to have both in life and jala had this. trina barkley quickly became a household name through her coverage of the 2nd intifada. and the crimes committed by the israeli occupation during its invasion of from law and surrounding cities in the early 2, thousands speaking calmly yet confidently. her distinctive voice relate stories from the refugee comes in eagle checkpoints, and even from inside israel's prisms,
8:18 pm
the more she reported the more israeli forces and subtler tried to silence her. but she never lost her composure, nor her determination beyond palestine should he and 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 took journalism at b. c at university, empowering you 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 a voice to the voiceless. her silenced voice must now be amplified by press freedom advocates to bring her killers to justice. her body may be buried, but should, in a barclay's name shall live on shooting of arguments as ita albertson.
8:19 pm
as bringing out is there a senior political analyst? my one bizarre who is still with us in london, mar one. it was there. interesting. and i believe you been listening to our nic interviewing and some of her friends and family over the course of the last hour. her niece, i many of them who i have study to become journalist. clearly sharina inspired so many people so many women. absolutely, and this is not just any other profession. i mean, you know, we have known, especially our wong, palestinian women. first of all, their percentage and higher education is higher than men. and they are quite ambitious, quite hardworking, a. but even for those hardworking young women who will become doctors and lawyers and an architects and so on, so forth. teachers, the idea of being a war correspondent, it said than away, you know, above anyone's dream. but here,
8:20 pm
here the here you have her should. in at the age of 26, becoming that wor journalists. and since then, unflinchingly and unflinchingly and, and her quite measured quite cool and collected for 2 decades, ah, being that investigative reporter, that war correspondent, covering her own tortured homeland and doing a great job at entering every fellas, tinian every arab household was such a fanfare with such success, but always despite bringing the bad news of what going on palestine by doing it was such a skill and talent that she does or she did become such an inspiration for a whole new generation. she has now been laid to rest. so now the question becomes, what next? given the eye witness accounts,
8:21 pm
the prominence of serene as the journalist, the reactions we've seen, an internationally add on social media. do you think there will be accountability for her death? i think when it comes to accountability and impunity and i think the are, these are keywords, these are not just cliches that we should use. these are key words, key concepts, key factors in the ongoing instability and violence in the occupied theaters if is or did not feel that impugn that, impunity, it wouldn't be doing what it's doing today. cuz as of yesterday and once again we got lost in the details about investigations and, and officials from washington giving his cover despite condemning the killing. and yet allowing her once again to escape with impunity. the kind of think it got
8:22 pm
it. when we all know, you know what with maybe we dont or no but certainly washington knows that when you send a specially assassination unit, god does do run to a refugee camp. it's an association unit is a special military unit like sampson unit. we know these units, they've been cared, they've been greater since the 1980s. we know what they do. we've not them. we've seen them on the 1st and the father and the 2nd to father. we've seen how they assassinate palestinians, and what we know most about them as washington should know, is that they walk in the dark is that they are not accountable even within desert itself. and within these really military, they have a special privilege. as the assassination units. there were grated by hood barrack, by the way, a former i'm in the desert when he was chief of staff. but be that as a me, when they are acting with they are operating in a place and
8:23 pm
a journalist is killed. we know his or sponsible. those who are responsible are those who sent that assassination unit to the refugee camp. those will give the orders and those walk out of the orders for sure. moran, i was struck by something at sharon's niece sent earlier and that she was afraid that she leans. death would set a precedent. those were her words that would set a precedent for where other journalists would be killed and nothing would be done. what message does it stand to journalists not just janice others. if such a high profile person is killed like this and, and, and, and nothing is done, no one is held accountable. the weldon is on yes. and i just want to add something to that. and just go a bit further with, with, with, with a very important point you're making and that her niece has made because you know,
8:24 pm
the killing of the journalist in, in, you know, and, and, and, and an area like very few jacobs this early as i've done it and for whatever reasons we will know, but then we don't define it. but what about attacking her funeral? what message does that send versus what? not only have they killed her, but they have violated the dignity of her funeral. they attacked her peaceful, more nurse in a courtyard. now what message does that send? because i want to add open a bracket and say the following. we know that they know that the war is watching because the cameras not just such a 0, but the cameras are there in that courtyard of the hospital. so when they attacked the peaceful mourners almost dropping the coffin. what message does that send the world? certainly them not hiding their attack on the dignity of
8:25 pm
a funeral of warners. well, they're sending the message that we would do what ever we won any which way we won . and we don't give a damn what the rest of the world thinks. because we have washington, the sporting us, we are london, the supporting us. we have fatis us. what does, what do we care? what the rest of the world thinks that's impunity? no, only you do it. you do with with pride. you do with, with certain viciousness, with certain citizen, not only the killing, but the very violation or the funeral of the person assassinated. okay, and now let's leave it that my one beserra out. is there a senior political analyst? thank you. well, israel has carried out more raids in janine and the occupied west bank where serene elbow actually was killed on wednesday. 11 people have been injured including 2, they were shot. dozens have been killed during his ready operations in the city
8:26 pm
since march. israel says its actions are response to palestinian attacks will need . abraham has been back to the scene where sharon was killed and she spoken to some of the last people who saw her alive. 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 he had 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 selling more than 25 years ago. people still remember when the it is really forces re, did the junior refugee camp in the year 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
8:27 pm
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. 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 analyst at what it's hearing and i'm sheet. i know she'd been home. i am the one who greeted her. i'm the one who walked with sharina to the location, but in the last thing she read said to call ali was hit. ha ha melissa. we grew up watching, sharing an experienced journalist and we're proud of her, even if i could or into my scope, or if they think they can silence us, we tell them we are all shearing a blocker,
8:28 pm
the how to do the palestinians of mark the bullets that were shot 123. we believe the 4th hit to me in the heads. it was hard for us to come here to jenny. it was hard to tell. families and friends were going to a place with our colleague, our friend, a beautiful soul has lost her life. but if you follow al jazeera, if you knew the kind of journalism read to, we know, and you'll know that we won't be silenced. we'll keep telling the story. this is also what shitty would want us to do. international palestinian media group last month submitted a formal complaint to the international criminal court, accusing israel of war crimes against journalists. the committee to protect journalist says $24.00 journalists. that's not including sharina,
8:29 pm
berkeley have been killed in israel and occupied palestine since 1990. 2 are the press freedom. advocates have reported higher numbers. israel systematically targets journalists, including al jazeera in 2010. it detained several on board, a human humanitarian flotilla heading to garza and last year's ra, bombed building with media offices including al jazeera in the occupied gaza strip valley. a month later, israeli forces arrested the al jazeera journalist, devora, but dary as she covered a demonstration in the shake gerard neighbourhood of occupied east jerusalem. all the journalist asked, fatten, a want, has been remembering her friend sharing. she's a family member today. i love the 3rd, not just a friend. um in 2005, i really lost my sister. and ever since the family adopted shooty and english,
8:30 pm
she had her own couch in my room. she had her own equipment. she's the reason why i'm a journalist today because they she invested in me as a person and she said that you can take lectures and training that you can fix it. and one of my teacher said, you should not be a journalist and. and now like with social media started to work out she, she was not really good at it. so i started teaching her how to do her stories. she's like a bit of an old school. i'm a bit of the new school, so the walk and talk and how she should invest in telling the story in her own way . so every time that she goes and she's worried about a story, she will come and ask me if i should do it that way. and one more thing that you need to know about shitty. this. this various strong women that you see on the screen.
