for to police in riot gear. on horseback, baffling scenes. at least one men pulled out of the hearse. is really forces also removing palestinian flag that i knew they were not going to let this day go by peacefully. i was on the frontline when we were trying to exit the hospital while they were carrying for a casket and a troop. they were, they just stormed and they were beating up everyone. it was very frightening to be honest, who's also tension when sharon's body arrived outside the church. in the christian quarter of the old city crowds filling the small streets. this ancient city a good once the coffin made it inside,

granted more peace shooting. the broadly brooch, the message of every post in our suffering dog, brigitte of life not to be associated with but to be nurtured. c c black, who was shot dead he occupied westbank along the assignment in the janine refugee camp for funeral procession was joined by thousands of palestinians, a show of the widespread affection and admiration she had earned through her years of putting in their lives so long. she never actually was buried next to her parents at the mount zion cemetery. both her 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. the managing director of out there as arabic

channels. i found alida attended terean's funeral. here's what he had to say. i got jimmy, i got to read to me. it's a catastrophe. all of us. it's painful. god willing we will do e that we can't to hold those responsible accountable. she rings, blood will not go in vain. sharon was killed in cold blood before on all of us. this will only increase our persistence to continue our coverage. assassinating sharamer is an attempt to kill the palestinian story on al jazeera, but they failed in achieving such a goal. killing charade will make al jazeera and the world more persistent and covering the palestinian assure it proves our professionalism and the just nature of the palestinian issue. while the un security council is condemning the killing of sharyn, but has not mentioned israel by name in a statement, it said it strongly condemned to the killing of palestinian american journalist, sharina butler, and that it conveyed it sympathy and deepest condolences to sharon's family. and

also called for an immediate thorough, transparent, fair, and impartial investigation into her killing, and reiterated that journalists should be protected as civilians. meanwhile, the biden administration has given a mutant response to the killing of sharina after our white house correspondent kimberly hallett has more. as mourners attending journalists, sharina clay funeral were attacked by israeli security forces. white house for a secretary gen saki, simply called it an intrusion, but refused to condemn the attacks called these images deeply disturbing of israeli police feeding mourners who are carrying this casket. he said that we regret the intrusion, you condemn these actions. i think when we said they were disturbing, we, obviously we're not, we're not justifying them, but i think i will leave my comments at what i said, go ahead. but her answers didn't sit well with reporters who pressed for an explanation as to why president biden is allowing israel

a u. s. allies received billions annually and military funding to treat sharina funeral and the investigation into her death, an american citizen. with such disrespect, when american journalists, i've given you a green nobody way for investigation this in their house is a russian. why is trying to get away with this? why not put in put an independent wiring opinions not leave the history cable in an investigation itself. we understand that there are investigations by both sides. we've offered our assistance to the israelis to the palestinians, and we are prepared to provide that. should they want it still? when asked if president biden had even contact as sharina family, or if he would use his leverage with the israelis to bring sharina killers to account. this was the answer that the president, any plan to speak with you really government directly from the ongoing investigation. i don't have any cause to predict at this point. the president

himself appeared a short time later, but had little to add. i don't know all the detail, but i know it has to be investigated. indeed, despite an american journalist being killed, president biden refused to condemn the attacks on mourners at her funeral. even as earlier in the day, president biden met with king abdullah of jordan in the oval office to discuss the escalation of violence between israelis and palestinians. in the region, while an initial report by the israeli military says it's difficult to determine the exact source of gunfire which culturing, but it's not ruling out fault by israeli soldiers. according to israeli media, the military says its inquiry is looking at 2 scenarios. one that sharon was hit by palestinians who fired bullets towards israeli military vehicles. the 2nd that an israeli soldier returning fire inadvertently hit her witnesses and the palestinian

health ministry. se sharina was hit by israeli gunfire. well out there as senior political analyst, my on the sharon says, there's an israeli assassination unit which has targeted palestinians for decades. for many of us, it is not just the question of who pulled the trigger. it's not even the question of what was the trigger. so caution will give the orders for those specialized forces in assassination dove to run this special israeli military unit like samson. they are specialized in assassination. they have acted in the dark for the past 40 years. 35 years since 1987. there are form to carry these sorts of operations against, by the sinews, but as soon inactive, especially in demonstrators and clearly or storm floors for that matter. and clearly it was in this particular context in jeanine, where sharon was killed was assassinated by one of those assassination units. so

it's those who are devising that the colonial policy goes into defense minister who are giving the orders to those young soldiers. you know, maybe this is because some of us are getting old, but i tell you, i looked at some of the 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, getting the famous 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. well, let's take a look back now at the extraordinary life of our 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 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 ensure her name has transcended even its own militarized checkpoints and borders reaching people the world over. ok, we were standing here, what i know, what nobody was born in 1971. sure in 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

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 a relatively unknown 26 year old sharina joined al jazeera shortly after the channel launched the meal actually, and have all of them. what i did, i said he was she seen in this clip with jerusalem 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 been trina awfully quickly, became a household name through her coverage of the 2nd intifada, and the crimes committed by the israeli occupation during its invasion from la 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 prison, 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 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 killers to justice. her body may be buried, but surely in barclay's name shall live on cheating of our parents as ita. i'll put

some hostile ahead here on out of there. i'm good. how me great, where do war is having an impact on global food supplies? ah hello, we have large, clear skies across much of the middle east. it is essentially dry, but that sent me the half of it. because we do have some very brisk winds, continuing that stiff shamal blowing right down at east side of saudi arabia coming out of iraq temperatures in here in dough hard around 35 degrees celsius. been not at all pleasant because those winds really quite fierce. they ease off a little as we go on through where sunday, still gonna be quite a breezy, having said that, but at least won't be as much lifted dust and sand temperatures here and down 34

celsius. picking up to 42 in baghdad, just around the la man where we stand, temperatures getting up into the mid thirty's here as well. dust also an issue across northern parts of africa, particularly towards the northeast where you see this little area of cloud, sloshy dry here. but there's at hamilton when that northeast wind blowing in across chad, across the cher, northern parts of our nigeria, plenty a shower santa central and southern parson nigeria been in togo, seeing some of those showers along with ivory coast, through garner all the way across into liberia. showers continued to across, so central africa, not as widespread as they should be. southern parts are largely dry, but some showers there for decent cape. ah, the african story. from an african perspective. short documentary from african filmmakers from zimbabwe. we were pioneers of how

economists could change the way we distribute. good, sorry, be happy to go into a physical school so dont ivory copes and he's gone with fresh farm fishing wood and the shot it africa direct on al jazeera lou. the me watching out there. let's remind you about top stories here. this our israeli forces have peace and mourners carrying the body of palestinian janice, shree and people struggled to hold onto her coffin and nearly fell to the ground.

the white house says it's disturbed by pictures of the attack on that funeral procession for secretary jim, saki says it should have been a day to remember the life of showing her charge, service and burial, took place without the incident. she was laid to rest on mount zion and occupied east jerusalem. sharina was 51 years old, and national and palestinian media groups 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 journalists, not including sri and have been killed and israel and occupied palestine since 1992 other press freedom advocates reported even higher numbers. israel systematically targets journalists including al jazeera and 2010, detained several on board, a humanitarian satilla heading to gaza. last year, israel bummed a building with media offices, including out the 0 in the occupied causes strip,

and then valley a month later, israeli forces arrested algebra. janice jabar bu daria's. she covered a demonstration in the shape jara neighbourhood of occupied easterly slim. while louis ran ocampo as the 1st prosecutor of the international criminal court. and he says the palestinian authority should be able to take israel to the i. c. c. we need justice and we need this people demanding justice, and then i will add to help. how do justice here on but a son has to litigation, is it. but if he's a person can meet the crime, ballast and legally cannot do it. therefore, who could do it? could be international, going to court, could israel 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 didn't have 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 forensic architecture in london do kind of a good analysis on, on the who should from where that's the important israel. prime minister promise an investigation. ok. what the saw is of fame. what happened back or that with the soldiers? so what is right, reaction, so we need to go back. it's very thorough investigation and i found has that a possibility, but what i just did, it will help putting together all the footage for the i get that to degrade the food that we can do more and people have them. and just this is not just this would be revaluation in pity means more violence in pilots and dr. while meanwhile, israeli says have illegally stormed a palestinian home in the occupied west bank. dozens of people rushed into the

vacant 3 story building in hebron, which was undergoing renovations. videos show israeli soldiers blocking palestinian residents from stopping the settlers on thursday. israel approved plans to legally build 4400 more homes for settlers in the west bank. ah, well, let's take you to some other stories now. and the u. s. defense secretary has spoken to his russian counterpart for the 1st time since the invasion of ukraine, and called for an immediate cease fire. this as ukraine starts, its 1st war crimes trial of the conflict, prosecuting a russian soldier for allegedly killing an unarmed civilian. the 21 year old sergeant is accused of shooting a 62 year old ukrainian man through an open car window. if convicted, he could get life in prison. ukraine is looking into more than 10000 potential war crimes involving more than 600 suspects. well before the war,

ukraine was seen as the wilds breadbasket, supplying a significant chunk of the planets, wheat, grain, and sunflower oil. but the invasion has made farming difficult and cut off many supply routes. germany has also accused russia of stealing grain from east and ukraine. hud abdul, hamid reports now from odessa. with the coming of spring diffuse of ukraine have turned bright green, wheat and other green sprouting. as far as the i can see. but even for me is risky . the country at war work is now where safety vist. walmack young because of the shilling specially adorned says, but through bits visit me. he usually produces about $10000.00 tons of various types of grain per year. but 2022 is full of anguish. wonderful. go with most of our farming land is in the curse on reach. and now under russian occupation, they stole that which stopped in a warehouse as in ingrain elevators and we will lose the alterman spring crops in

the there is a drone video that shows my warehouses burning. i have massive losses. some colleagues still there, tell me that the russians want to confiscate land and create collective farms like during soviet times before the war, ukraine produced about a $100000000.00 tons of wheat, corn reap seats and barley per year. it was also a top producer of sunflower oil. only. 20 percent was for domestic consumption. the rest made its way to markets in china, india, the middle east and africa. but since russia's invasion, exports have nearly stopped. ukraine now is looking into other options to export the grain. one of them would be to transported by train to a neighboring country. the problem is the railway system needs to be adapted. the soviet bill tracks are wider than european ones. so stalks need to be offloaded and

reloaded before continuing their journey about $25000000.00 tons or wasting in silos around the country. since russia pulls the blockade on the black, seaports like odessa, since operations have come to a grinding halt, other married tim routes through romania or bulgaria are being considered ocarina. ah, he explore toya and villa. ukraine exports 10 to 14 per cent of world demand. we are number one in sunflower oil. now we have excess of oil and some flowers. world prices are at a historical high. if the expert question is insult soon, the prices will continue to increase the style. finding ways to rein in global prices is a priority at the g 7 summit. but with the war raging in the east and south of the country,

where the main agricultural regions are located. production is likely to decrease by as much as 35 percent. making it one of the most urgent humanitarian crisis to be solved, to avoid shortages in global food supplies, had been hamid algebra. odessa, the president of the united arab emirates and the ruler of its capital, abu dhabi has been laid to rest. the u. e. has announced 40 days of mourning for shakily for bins. i had a lucky man. he was 73 years old. public and private white places will close for 3 days. now how long his main opposition party has refused to join a government under the new prime minister run. it'll become a single. this went in on thursday, his appoint and say he has no credibility. after his defeat and the last election, he replace the president's brother may hinder roger puck, sir, who resigned as the country deals with its west economic crisis and decades. opposition, members and protested, according on the president to author,

step down from 11 on goes to the polls on sunday, in the 1st election since it's economic meltdown began in 2019 despite protest, the powerful political establishment has held on to power. and that's raised concerns about possible violations of the electoral process. russell said a reports now from barriers. these people are working to safeguard democracy in the head of the elections on sunday. they are making the final preparations to ensure that the electoral process is fair and transparent. and that's not an easy task in a deeply polarized country, where securing and loyalty is perhaps the leading driving force for people when casting their wards the lebanese association for the more graphic elections, who is largely funded by european countries. then alba is responsible for coordinating and overseen all activities of the association as she believes that corruption is also hurt in democracy in lab or not. we have some sort of claim to

stick with an asian ship between the voters and their and peace and they are candidates. if i give you money, you have to vote for me or i not give you this money. i can provide you a service by being a, by inserting you by appointing you and a certain position in the public sector. if you don't vote for me, i will you not get this job? ah, lebanon has been subjected to chronic political instability for the last several years . that led to large scale demonstrations against a political elite, ultimately forcing the government to resign, ah, in the following year at the state in exclusion at port b, ruth killed 2018 people further deteriorating the already crippled economy and different in the political instability. the elections on sunday or do seem by many as a litmus test for real change. and the 4th are on the way to avoid frown relations
