12:04 am
quarter of the old city crowds filling the small streets. this ancient city a once the coffin made it inside, granted more peace shooting the bodily brooch. the message of every palestinian of suffering god forgets of life not to be estimated but to be no i. 7 c black, who was shot dead in the occupied west bank along an assignment in the janine refugee camp. her funeral procession was joined by thousands of palestinians issue of the widespread affection and admiration she had earned through her years of reporting on their lives. yeah, she never waka was buried next to her parents at the mount zion cemetery. both her
12:05 am
parents died in the early stages of her career and never knew how loved and respected she become. the crowds of gone, the family has gone. sherman's grave has now been sealed, but even after her death she continued to tell the palestine story stephanie decker, al jazeera in occupied east jerusalem. over the course of the day, there's been a steady flow of reaction to events during the funeral. the european union called it appalling and the white house described the attack on mourners. as disturbing. our secretary gen saki says the us will remain in close contact with the israeli and palestinian authorities. i would say 1st that we have all seen others images. they're obviously deeply disturbing. are we this is a day where we should all be marking, including everyone there, the memory of a remarkable journalist who lost her life on. we know that there is a, with a disturbing footage from the funeral procession procession today in jerusalem. we regret the intrusion to what should have been
12:06 am
a peaceful procession. we have urged respect for the funeral procession, the mourners and the family at the sensitive time. i were also in close touch with israeli and palestinian authorities. i have been and obviously will continue to be especially given the images we've seen today. we're not currently involved in any investigation, but we are working to bridge cooperation and available to provide assistance as needed. i'm to our house course wanted. kimberly how kit has won the reaction from washington. there was a lot of head scratching by a lot of the reporters in that room about some of those questions and, and, and the answers that were provided because you have to remember that schraner is an american citizen. and so there is a little bit of a, sort of, a lot of people to perplex as to why the u. s. president is not using his leverage with the israelis to essentially rein in some of this behavior on behalf of an american citizen. you have to remember that the u. s. gives is real and he nervous
12:07 am
amount of security support not to mention economic support, the june of billions of dollars every year. and the white house press secretary was asked repeatedly by a number of journalists, whether or not the president had called the israeli government. the answer was no ah, whether or not he had the president had called sharon family. the answer was no. in fact, it was no national security officials had been in touch and the questions were asked about whether or not the president would condemn or whether the white house press secretary would condemn the actions that were taken on the mourners in that funeral procession that we've seen today she said instead that she would only let the comments she had already used. in other words, calling this deeply disturbing to stand. and i think that many americans were
12:08 am
pretty shocked, and many reporters were pretty shocked to hear the press. secretary say that i was there a senior plesk honest my ron bouchard joins me now and moran, we're just hearing white house press secretary jen sal key referring to the attack on warner's at the funeral procession. today's being deeply disturbing, but will there be consequences for this? it doesn't seem like it's for the moment, but i tell you miriam, clearly something has been going up over the past 24 hours. it's not necessarily gonna lead to anything actionable in any major way. but clearly the pressures buttoning up, i just heard 3 or 4 senators already. also going even beyond the idea of disturbing, i think sanders warren, even murphy and others of already come martin and spoken against what happened in, in occupied palestine as well as an occupied east jerusalem. so i think something's putting up, i think what is utterly disappointing. it's the way this has been framed in the
12:09 am
united states and here in the u. k. by major, major networks, dos images that we saw that were condemned, that were seen to be disturbing in the courtyard law of the french hospital and was sent were called crashes the clashes by major networks . when we also, and we are looking now and seeing how the israeli security forces heavily armed, attacked, peaceful mourners, are trying to just basically bury one of their own. there was no respect to the dead, you know, dignity for the funeral. and yet some, some major networks with cold act i would do would call those clashes. i think they should be ashamed of themselves to be honest. and yet just back to that, to that, to that, to the issue at hand. i think something is building up in the west, in for the international public opinion. and i just got a glimpse of a report in,
12:10 am
in israel channel 12 saying that apparently these ready military has been getting a report internal one that it wasn't as very the soldier that shut should in a box. and so why, what is likely to happen then following that, he said it was a report on israel channel tell, but what might happen now if? well, of course it depends because, you know, israel has been very good at this information and it's been very good in the way they package things. those also are, these are leaks and clearly, you know, is there any person, as i said before, internally they have, you know, quite a long hand toward hand as it were, you reaching out and trying to find out the source of leaks from, from these are the military, but what we are clear is, is that unless there is a pressure to bear from the united states and from reserves our lives in europe.
12:11 am
and those are the ones that have leverage. those are the ones that have no trade. those are the ones who protect it in international situations. unless they come out and start putting some pressure, then is there, i was going to continue to do more of the same with impunity, which means more death and killing of civilians and more killings of journalists. how are these, the ev reaching this conclusion? and it's an internal one right now, of course it is free and i will act that have been many of the journalists that have been targeted and killed in recent years, but also violence against palestinians, including children and their statistics about that. what he's by amnesty international, but if it, when it often, investigations are not followed up and punishment. conviction tends to be the idea . but how is it, how is it a trade in investigations tried to show them to be sort of isolated individual
12:12 am
incidents. they're not the norm in terms of how they operate. absolutely, and that's why i've been saying since yesterday that i'm not holding my breath to an investigation independent or otherwise. because and then there's a, even if there is an independent education, which is very unlikely now. and it, it, whatever, recommendations or whatever conclusions has it's going to be most impossible to, to implement unless there is an american pressure that way. and by the way, just to be very precise, what i said is that the israeli report says that the israeli military is hearing an inter, an internal report that says that and his are in so just wrong. but yes, it isn't. for me, i think for the rest of us, for many of us, it is not just the question of who pulled the trigger is not even the question of what was the trigger. as the caution who gave the orders for those specialized forces in assassination, they have to run this special israeli military unit like sampson. they are
12:13 am
specialized in assassination. they have acted in the dark for the past 40 years. 35 years since 1987. they are form to carry these sato operations against palestinians, but still inactive, especially in demonstrators and clearly or storm floors for that matter. and clearly it was in this particular context in janine where sharin was killed was assassinated by one of those assassination units. so it's those who are devising the colonial policy, those in the defense minister who are giving the orders to those young soldiers in our maybe this is because some of us are getting old. but i tell you, i looked at some of these soldiers. it was like they were not morn back then in 2002, when jeanine was then attacked, occupied, invaded, and dozens of better sinews were killed in that invasion of the refugee camp. and here you have a new generation of israeli soldiers getting the same atrocities,
12:14 am
getting the same fascinations in this vicious cycle of violence that will not end without their leaders, their government taking a different course than the one they are doing now. ok, thank you very much. on the shar sharina wallclear's career shouted some of the most significant moments in the israel palestine conflict. take a look back now on the extraordinary life of our friend and colleague, and the legacy sheaves. this state like funeral for a journalist who dedicated her life to the struggle for freedom i. 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 israel has now insure it. her name has transcended even its own militarize
12:15 am
checkpoints and borders reaching people the world over. ok, we were, it was sunday wasn't so book 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. which was her quest for freedom. 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 station knows that it is that idea as
12:16 am
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, withdrew from your chief a little on monday at the, introducing her to the audience, both unaware of the impact she would go on to have both in life and jada 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 from law 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 prisons, 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 and also reported from cairo, london, new york, and other cities around the world. she wasn't just
12:17 am
a mentor to young girls and boys who watched her on their screens. the veteran reporter, also journalism at b. c. 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 silence voice must now be amplified by press. freedom advocates to bring her killers to justice. ah, her body may be buried, but surely in a box. his name shall live on cheering of all kinds of recap them. what has happened since the syrians killing? she was shot dead by israeli forces on may 11th. as she reported on military raids and janine in the occupied west bank, just hours later, the israeli government started circulating video on social media, suggesting that sharin was shot by
12:18 am
a palestinian fighter. that claim was then debunked by human rights organisation through video analysis. on thursday policy present, mom with a boss rejected a proposal for a joint investigation with israel instead vine to take the case to the international criminal court hearings. body was then taken from amal at jerusalem. at times the processions reignite attentions between palestinians and israelis. police outrage fled again and occupied east jerusalem when israeli forces beach crowds of mourners carrying sharina casket ahead of her funeral palestine down boxes. the united nation spoke about continued violence against palestinian people daily's, assassination of sharing as part of its longstanding, well documented war of harassment. intimidation and violence against palestine and journalist. this has been happening for decades. and in broad daylight. we are shocked by the great loss. sharina barkley was ill. tell brittany thrill blazing
12:19 am
jordan as a vibrant spirit and a kind hearted and humble human being. qualities that the occupation forces that killed her, couldn't care, less about their humanity. they refused to see the united nations, the saying that sharing staff might be a war crime. in a statement, the u. n. a human rights council, special operator said, authorities have an obligation not to hon journalists, and to protect them from home under international law, if called for an immediate investigation, which they said should be prompt, transparent for an independent. and they want a lack of accountability gives carte blanche to continue illegal executions the matter. shanks sharina, blacklist the latest in a long history of civilian killings in the occupied territories. and, and the scenes national report early this year showed successive israeli governments have treated palestinians as a demographic threat. same basra,
12:20 am
the has more on that ah, 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. ah, and was checkpoints to restrict and control movement? were palestinians routinely experienced abuse and humiliation. ha dehumanization that pales in comparison. only to the massacres perpetrated time after time. oh, post indian american journalist sharina blacklist targeted killing is only the latest in a long history of civilian death at the hands of israeli occupiers,
12:21 am
shedding our barclays blood is just as much on the hands of the united states and the european union and great britain. and others, a canada as well, who are stand in the way of accountability and arm and support the israeli occupation that murdered sharina barclay as it murders palestinians almost daily. ah, no, not the number of palestinian civilians caught in his really cross hairs. seems endless. but some cases stand out in september of 2012 year old muhammad altura was shot and killed in gaza. video of his father jamal, trying to shield his son from israeli bullets, became one of the most powerful images of the 2nd and the father. a little bit in
12:22 am
2017 in israeli sniper shot and killed it. but a him a both. what are you doing? protests against the u. s. move to name 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 israeli blockade of casa successive generations of palestinian leaders have turned to the international community for help. but decades of appeals have not slowed the pace of israeli abuses. what is your message going to be till israel? what is the united states message to israel regarding the situation and resume our, our message? and the ambassador gave that mash message very strongly to everyone, is that this has to be investigated. i, it has to be investigated transparently. and we're encouraging both sides to
12:23 am
participate in that investigation so that we can get down to the ah, to why this happened. our highest priority is to 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 less ensure this never happens again. huh. 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 in basra vehicle to 0. a formal complaint was submitted to these national criminal court last month, accusing this israel of war crimes against journalists, the committee to protect journalists as $24.00 media workers. not including sure no one has been killed in israel and the palestinian occupied territories since 1990.
12:24 am
2, all the press freedom advocates report higher numbers. israel systematic the targets . journalists, including those from al jazeera in 2010. it detained several on board, a humanitarian flotilla, heading to gaza. last year, israel bombed a building with media offices, including al jazeera in the occupied causes strip, and battery a month later is ready forces arrested algebra. john is giovanni, but dairy, as she covered a demonstration in the shower, jo ron neighborhood of occupied east jerusalem. i was marino campo as a form of 1st prosecutor, the international criminal court. he says that palestine should run a thorough investigation and justice must be done. we need justice and we need this people demanding justice. and then i would like to help javion justice here on. but a son has to litigation, is it? but it's an israel person could meet the crime. ballast and legally cannot do it.
12:25 am
therefore, who could do it? could the international court could give rise called, or because she was american, it could be the us. so the issue is, but i had to do a great investigation that going today and do it to request a good bit to get your means. and if and exactly what happened and you know, just about the bullet. look, a group like a good picture in london do kind of a good analysis on, on the trash it who should, from where that's the good thing is important. that either a brand new set of promise, an investigation ok. what this all is the same. what happened there or that with a soldier? so what is right, reaction. so we need to going back, it's very thorough investigation and then has that happens every day, but i just,
12:26 am
it will help putting together all the food touch for the gunning. degrade the food that we can do more and people have to them. and just this is not just, this would be revaluation in pity, means more violence in pilots. and dr. as there has responded to ready for says attacking more as an abstract, insurance funeral procession saying it violates all norms and international law, as the network also said, it holds the israeli government fully responsible for the safety and security of all the mourners and sharina family. algeria says violence will not deter journalist from reporting the truth for factual, accurate, and objective coverage. and abram has been backed, the scene lashona was killed and she spoken to some of the last people who saw her life. you might have seen the pictures, which 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
12:27 am
friends died when their siblings died. but they're here crying, but she, she was here in the janine refugee camp, trying to tell the story that she started telling more than 25 years ago. people still remember when the is wouldn't, is really forces re, did that. you need 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 the israeli army 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. hi, at the salvage measure, wooden mission, as you would at the end,
12:28 am
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 oh, she little okay, i am the one who greeted her. i'm the one who walked with sharina to the location i did fall. and the last thing she read said, try to follow ali was hit for half a year with her mother say we grew up watching, sharing and experienced journalist. and we're proud of her either if i could, or in whom as ghetto. if they think they can silence us, we tell them we are all shearing a barclay, the huddled, the palestinians of mark the bullets that were shot. 123. we believe the 4th hit serene in the head. it was hard for us to come here to genie. it was hard to tell. families and friends were going to a place where our colleague, our friend, a beautiful soul, has lost her life. but if you follow al jazeera,
12:29 am
if you know the kind of journalism we do, 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 without her life from london still had on this news. gillian was no ordinary journalist, no ordinary human being palestinian speak of sharon as a pine m. we'll hear more stories from her friends, colleagues, and lows, inspired by our reporting. and then lisa, in nominees, 40 days of mourning and out falling denisha lisa, president of the u. e. the moment of truth will tom, ukraine's prime minister g 7 nations to take further action against moscow. ah,

12:32 am
12:33 am
welcome back with the news. our life from london condemnation is poor day and the after israeli forces attacked mourners carrying the coffin of slain out. is there a challenge during our play? ah, people struggled hold on to cascade as they were attacked with buttons and at one point it fell to the ground. they were taking her body from a hospital to the church of a funeral service in occupied east jerusalem. she was shot in the head by his writing forces on wednesday. we'll have also been arrest and palestinian flags were snatched away from mourners along the route to the church service. later the house carrying sharon's body was stopped as soldiers detained. people for the church, service and burial was conducted peacefully. she was laid to rest on mount zion and occupied east jerusalem. sharina barkley was 51 years old. azeri sammy's, a don, went to the al jazeera bureau in ramallah olive. she means colleagues with her
12:34 am
family. this is one of those moments in history. when you see a symbol become a legend, shirley now barclay, a symbol of international press freedom, but also being merged into a legend in the narrative of palestinian search for their national freedom. let me get the camera my head around the would try and explain what i mean visually. that's the building surely used to work out of. you can see her picture is up. there are a black black flags on that building morning. her death. now files on camera man to pan over to what a screen left for you. you can see here in the main square in ramallah, not only shirlen's picture, but below it. we've got black flags down there, marking the 1948 knack or catastrophe which palestinian sea is the date in which they, they lost their statehood. the black flags today are merging together. and it's for people here they seeing her killing as the latest in
12:35 am
a series of sacrifices in their search for their national freedoms as well. we've been talking to people who have been watching the funeral procession very closely in shops in t v, screens and by hose. and they say, well, we're not surprised. we've come to expect almost anything off the years of occupation, but they are disgusted and they're hurt. as one man told us, even in her death they won't let leave her alone. now, israeli officials of course say they were forced to intervene to keep public order . that's i can tell you that's not the way people here see it at all. one of those banners down there says stop the double standards. that's a theme you hear a lot from people when you talk to them. they say like ukrainians. we want our freedom like ukrainians. we want to resist a life under occupation. we don't want that life. but why is there a double standard in how, what some of the world looks at our fight against occupational. our search for
12:36 am
freedom or from any policy is sharina and her reporting meant something in watched a palestinian woman or a pioneer in her generation, telling their stories in writing the 1st draft of their history for the wild was no ordinary journalist, no ordinary human being to as a close friend and she was reporter who works returners, have profession, but more importantly to manage this city and barclays, really, and our entire childhood echo of her voice, especially on gera, especially at a time where nobody cupboard they and the father and the grades on palestinian villages and the fire and the brute violence. one of the things that was really incredible about for those who knew her was actually covered all aspects of
12:37 am
why she didn't just cover the issue of gas or the issue. it's really res, or is really war crimes. she actually also enjoyed covering what it was like to be . she was an incredible mentor of mine. i would probably say out of all of the journalist that i worked with there on the ground and there are a lot, she was perhaps the one that took me under her wing the most time in the lay of the land, tommy, as much as i could possibly learn about the quality of the region and what was happening again. but she also had an incredible compassionate type here. i think if you look at every single picture that has been shared around the world of her, she's always smiling because she had the biggest heart. she was the kindest person . and yet she had missed determination and understood with such clarity. and the purpose in which she work daily i took, i was
12:38 am
a close friend and colleague sharika. and she explained how the late journalist inspired palestinians throughout her career. she was fearless, but she was also human. and you know, there were times when she was scared. when encountering, you know, difficult situations, the only difference was, is that she, she pulled through, she pushed through, she was there in every town, every palestinian towns, village, alley way, refugee camp. everybody knew her name. everybody welcome to her. she wanted to do the stories that nobody else wanted to do. and she gave a voice to a lot of people who we otherwise wouldn't have heard from the

12:41 am
trial of the conflict, prosecuting a russian soldier for allegedly killing an unarmed civilian 21 year old sergeant vadim. she, she, marian is accused of shooting a 62 year old ukrainian man through an open car window. he was captured from a russian tank unit in the early days of the war and could get life in prison. crane stop prosecutors looking into over $10000.00 potential war crimes involving more than $600.00 suspects, including russian soldiers and government officials. before the war, ukraine was seen as the bread basket of the world, applying a significant chunk of the planets, wheat, grain, and sunflower. oil invasion is made farming, difficult, and cut off many supply routes. germany is also key, is russia stealing grain from east in ukraine and reserve? honda abdul, hamid is in odessa with the coming of spring. the fields of ukraine have turned bright green, wheat and other grains sprouting as far as the i can see. but even farming is risky
