4:04 pm
the owner who is also attention when she reads body arrived outside the church in the christian quarter of the old city crowds filling the small streets. this ancient city. ah, it once the coffin made it inside, grunted more peace. shooting the broadly bro. the message of every palestinian ah, suffering god created life. not to be assassinated, but to be nurtured. c c i blackly was shot dead in the occupied west bank along an assignment in the jenin refugee camp for funeral procession was joined by thousands of palestinians issue of the white spread affection and admiration she had earned to her years as a putting on their lights. but oh, she never actually was buried next to her parents at the mount zion cemetery. both
4:05 pm
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. sharon'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. in a statement, the european union said that it's appalled by what happened during the funeral. part of it reads the e u. condemn missed the disproportionate use of force and the disrespectful behavior by the israeli police, against the participants of the morning procession, allowing for a peaceful farewell without harassment and humiliation is the minimal human respect . and independent us senator bernie sanders, who votes with the democrats treated, saying the funeral is an attack is an outrage. he added that the united states must condemn it. the white house 1st stopped short of that describing what happened as disturbing an intrusion. i would say 1st that we have all seen those images. they
4:06 pm
are obviously deeply disturbing. 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 with the disturbing footage and from the funeral procession procession today in jerusalem, we regret the intrusion to what should have been a peaceful procession. we've earned respect for the funeral procession, the mourners and the family at the sensitive time. we're also in close touch with israeli and palestinian authorities has been and obviously will continue to be especially given the images we've seen today. we're not currently involved in any the investigation, but we are working to bridge cooperation and available to provide assistance was needed. some josie joins us from ramallah. he's deputy original director of the middle east and north africa amnesty international content with us. so israel's police chief is alternate investigation into the actions of officers who attacked
4:07 pm
mourners at shootings funeral. what sort of investigation can we expect? well 1st of all, let me know that i was there that with the stuff right from the beginning, the french hospital, and also witness that impression that the place when the funeral was leaving the church. and everybody said bye to the city and the cemetery. pre main things to note here with regard. so there's really police investigation one that the practices that we saw. the fact that we saw is consistent with policies and practices of israeli apartheid against palestinians whenever they want to repress. no press freedom of expression, social culture rights that could be seen yesterday. the 2nd thing to note is that there's really, authorities have announced before the funeral that they will violate rights. they announced that there will be no freedom of movement, meaning that they don't want the funeral to proceed on foot for strange coughing,
4:08 pm
to be like the people want from the hospital to the cemetery. they also a house that they will violate freedom of expression with regard to the flags course. raising a flag is a peaceful and non binding form of freedom of expression and de announced that they will not allow that to happen. of course, they were by elation on social and cultural rights with regard to saying that by some other ones carrying out the funeral procession and barriers. the 3rd important note is that the record of israeli investigations showed that there is no when nor ability to investigate violations. on crimes when it comes to other students. and this brings us back to israel's apartheid against. we put out the report earlier this year in february that documents and provide legal amounts for how it was really committing the crime against humanity apart. i think it's part of students. we found that all of israel's institutions, civilian and military police and the courts are complicit in this crime against
4:09 pm
humanity. that is away, that is ready. litigation can be independent, impartial, and can allow for people to reach justice. whether you saw it with your own eyes, we were watching in real time from multiple camera angles. and yet late yesterday, israeli police put out a video which it said shows a different perspective and that it, it was provoked. and is there any justification for the way in which the, as the police acted yesterday, how soon did not. i was standing at the place where i was seeing the coffin, and i was saw how when the gates of the house. but the big gate that allows for cause to come in one of the main gates in to the hospital was open. israeli forces went in it very. it was, it looked very clear how they were intent on using force. it was, it was quite scary. i have to say i myself had a sudden grenade blow up right next to my ear. i blanked out for like 23 seconds my i couldn't get anything around me. again,
4:10 pm
i was able to see how people were running a just around what were, whatever they were they were heading. it was clear to me that they wanted to enforce this condition that they try to to enforce from beginning is that people do not carry the coffin and walk with the coffin in the, in the street they, i talked to 3 times, there was back and forth in that 1st time, as you saw the video, the coffin almost fell to the ground. people who are hit one day with carrying the coffin, there were no posing any danger or any, any sort of action that may warrant this violence. and here to committee on, for example, the european union statement, the force was not this disproportionate was completely on the story, completely unnecessary. and in the view of human rights organization from, from the view of international human rights. so it may amount to torture and treatment. this one where does yesterday fit
4:11 pm
a context wise in terms of the escalating violence that the we've seen in the occupied palestinian territories this year? i think in my view, there are 2 important stories from yesterday, basically 2 sides of the one on one hand, israel apartheid against palestinians that apartheid, that fragments of segregates violently controls the palestinians. and this possesses them of their rights for a prolonged period over the decades since israel was established on the other side, it's, it's palestinians, resistance, persistence, and resilience. despite all that of what happened when we reached the church and thousands of people who are there, wanting to say good bye to celebrates, should in and say, i'd say good bye to her that i'm seeing it's large that would raise, despite the impression that we've seen and i've seen in the old city how israeli police and,
4:12 pm
and border police where targeting people. sometimes it looked to me like they were young people, perhaps children who are carrying the flags a, talking them and taking the flags away. we both report yesterday that a 3 to 6 people were, were arrested just because they were carrying floods. so that these a blatant violation of freedom expression. the other side is it's one side, it's is, was apartheid. and this context, it is so crucial to keep mentioning it in whenever talking about the killing or shooting walkway whenever it is talking about the oppression and suppression, or kind of seeing a protest. anything that happens in israel unlocked by pakistan, territories. the con, the crucial context mention is israel as a part, i think it's fun. on the other hand is the palestinians have not been subdued and have not accepted that their rights be violated this way without them a standing up and saying no to this, i'm calling on the world of to say that it is now over time, over time for justice and for this regime of oppression,
4:13 pm
of domination that is applied to ent. good to talk to somebody. thanks. did. so i had just said that from am the stance national. the un security council made no mention of israel and its response to shove in our barclays death in a statement though it said it strongly condemned the killing of palestinian american journalist surely in our play, and that it conveyed its sympathy and deepest condolences to shabby ins. family, it also called for an immediate farrah, transparent at fair and impartial investigation into killing and reiterated that journalists should be protected as civilians. or an initial report by the israeli military says that it's difficult to t 2 to determine the exact source of the gunfire which killed shaheen. but it's not ruling out fault by israeli soldiers, according to his really media. the military's inquiry is looking at 2 scenarios. one, the terrain was hit by palestinians who fired bullets towards israeli army vehicles . in the 2nd,
4:14 pm
it's considering whether an israeli soldier inadvertently hit shooting when returning fire witnesses and the palestinian health ministry though. so that should be, it was hit by it is really bullet. is where the settlers had illegally stormed the palestinian house of the occupied west bank. dozens of people rushed into the vacant 3 story building in hebron, which was undergoing renovations. video shows is ready soldiers blocking palestinian residents from stopping the settlers on thursday. israel approved plans to illegally build 4400 more homes for settlers in the west bank. returning detention as israel prepares to acknowledge the 74th anniversary of its independence, the day is marked as napa or catastrophe by palestinians. 700000 people fled or were expelled from their land during the war surrounding israel's creation. a solidarity events in support of palestinians is happening right now in london. houses here as poor brandon is there for what's the boot that right now?

4:18 pm
driven around the city now and it's a massive change from why. so just over a month ago, everything was close. though. hard, many people from the street there are no cars out on the street now. it seems like restaurants, open cafe, the open people are going about their business, and the government gives the people are beginning to return to the city. although he says he fears that some of the areas where the russians have retreated from have been mine. so it's asking people to be cautious, but this is a massive change from what we saw just over a month ago, there was destruction in the city center. now that's been cleared up. there is confidence now for people to be able to return here and the mood is definitely change. a few checkpoints, in fact, are currently standing here a month ago without wearing body armor. before we came into the city, we had to wear protective clothing. now, there is no data selling, taking place is not to refile hitting this city. that's because the russian have backed up. but the story in the east of the country is very different,
4:19 pm
where the ukranian said that the battles there are really intense once an idyllic st. on the edge of town. now, a giant crater, bricks and mortar ripped apart. this is all that remains after russian forces talk to the outskirts of blackmore in eastern ukraine. of many people's hearts and souls went to building these homes. the war has destroyed so many but some people are glad to be alive and grateful for what they have left oh, from your brother. thank god, everything is all right. what is there to be scared about? i have 6 children, 5 sons and one daughter, 9 grandsons. i've done everything in life, i could get his feet crunch on shattered windows as he tries to salvage what he can. 7 0, one of his few neighbors who still here offers him a cigarette. in the same town, the russians hit his dormitory with a rocket, where told it was meant to take out
4:20 pm
a bunker that russians frequently use long range weapons to destroy targets, anywhere in ukraine. to what you want and my question is if we found all of the stuff today in the morning when i had explosion, i went down on my knees and the shrapnel came over my head. some people told us they had seen ukrainian military in the area. the front lines are not far away, for the russians are making a push for more territory and ambulance crew heads close to where the battle has taken place. while they wait for casualties from the front line, we're given camouflage, for our vehicle. ah . we've just had to take cover because
4:21 pm
a jet was flying overhead and had to spread out. but this is what's happening on a daily basis for even those are trying to hold lunatic. there's no let up in the fighting with forced to turn back. the constant sound of heavy artillery can be heard and felt all day and all night. now the fighting in the east is very intense, but there's a different story in the east of the country now. many tans of really does that. we went to, we were told by soldiers and even residents that many people in some of those tens of villages was supportive of russian of russia. now that is a problem for the ukrainian because even if they manage to hold on to that territory and keep the russians out, they still have ukrainians inside of their country that are supporting russia. but as i said, the ukraine, the still holding on to grand. in fact,
4:22 pm
the military here have released images of what they say is destroyed. russian vehicles that they attempted to cross the for the rescue done, it's river. so the fighting in the east continues, but where i am right now in clark eve, the 2nd largest city, it seems like the city is finally, but slowly, slowly, but surely getting back to normal. how to serious asset beg reporting live there from the archives in ukraine? many, thanks. indeed, i said she, 7 foreign ministers about to further enforce russia's economic and political isolation in a joint statement. they also said that they'll continue to supply weapons to ukraine and they pledge to ease global food shortage is caused by the war. on friday, the eaves foreign policy chief announced a further $520000000000.00. in military 8. we support every measure and every step they are taking to ensure that people in ukraine and this is also our common goal as g 7 can live as everybody else in europe again in peace,
4:23 pm
but also insecurity and freedom in their own country. and we have also made very clear that it's our goal, that rashness bridge was international law that the imperial strategy often aggressor would screeches international peace order and law will not succeed. a ukrainian band, his favorite to win this year's eurovision song contest. oh, collusion, orchestra is winding on a wave of public support up to russia's invasion. their entry is a tribute to ukraine, which mixes wrapped with traditional folk music. russia was banned from the she has contest. let's go live thought a chew rented northern italy, a host city on the zeros. adam rainy is the given. what's going on in ukraine right now? i don't. what sort of competition can we expect to? might well, as you mentioned, adrian, the hands on favorite is carlos orchestra, but there's
4:24 pm
a lot of strong entries here. we have sam ryder from the u. k. who that's also a bit of a political tent tube, because with brags it for years british acts have kind of been treated a little at a distance. so you also have some very strong entries from spain, from ice and from norway, which has a very tongue in cheek on performance group. and so it's not just a politics people are talking about here. it's factual quality of the acts in your vision just seems to be getting more popular year after year, especially after of moleskin, the time group one last year. but again, really right now all eyes is focused on this one bad. oh i the hands on favor in the eurovision song contest you creams colors, orchestra rehearses for the biggest performance of their lives, but you but they're carrying the hopes of their country devastated by rushes war
4:25 pm
against ukraine. ah, did you go to can them in any year their song, stephanie, with fusion of wrap in ukrainian folk music would have probably been a hit. it's an ode to the lead singer's mother, but with the war region, it's taken on new meaning, ah, pieces to for renewable on up with. indeed, the song, stephanie, it was written long before the war, and it was dedicated to my mother on what after it all started with the war in the hostilities. it took on an additional meaning. and many people started seeing it as their mother, ukraine. the all male band was given special permission to lead ukraine. one of its members is still fighting tooth ukrainian fans in italy say a win here would mean everything original. this like a breach, because a normal life that we have before the war started and may be like for
4:26 pm
a couple of units for an hour a day, which is still safe. it with me in the last, it's a me and a lot, stephanie. i turned in to you, ah, song about everyone's mom and ukraine as a mom, mom to us all. and we're sitting about mom the to you fighting for. ah, but victory is not a short thing. of course, there are 24 other fine was taking the stage and turn on saturday. you case sam ryder, a tick tock star has generated bus 2. as has norway subwoofer for their song and their antics. if you call that, i will say making finals, baseless entrant, said it makes sense for larger events to be front and center. ah,
4:27 pm
we really wanted to bring hope to people suffering. and the people that are not free and the people that are going to, through hard times like ukraine and to all of us that have been struggling and, and cove it that there's hope for the 10s of thousands of fans here at the finals and the millions more watching at home, it's always about the music. it's just that this year, the music has taken on greater significance than normal. adam rainy al jazeera tour in italy. let's bring a new revision specialist paul jordan is where the sir in london. paul, not can be much of competition, is it a few crane is a shoe in to win on a solidarity or is the song good enough to think to win and its own right? you know, mean i think the song is good enough to win in is i right? it is unique. it's a mixture of traditional folk music and brock ukraine almost as well. they know how to stage their songs is not always about the songs as well as how they come across and then i and not staging is very valuable. so ukraine has
4:28 pm
a good track record. they want twice, but it isn't a foregone conclusion. i think they will win the public boat tonight, but it's all said the jewelry as well, but anything can happen in 2016 russia logic to win and ukraine actually won, even though i didn't win the jury by old. but they got enough point say girls to win. now thing for the be you the organization to hide the eurovision song contest, a very strict, aren't they in terms of what sort of songs can be put forward for the competition? nations have been banned before for submitting overtly political songs. how can this not be described as a political song? well, the thumb content itself is not political, it's about the thing. his mother hadn't seen a songs about, well, peace could be seen as political as well. so the, the all kinds of do try and he called the council. they both acknowledge this year for the 1st time. you can't really get away from the fact that ukraine is our nation has been invaded by an aggressor. and that's why russia is not parts of any crane, is that it's very important. they are bad tonight, the shiny on the world stage. and if they do, when i think it will be, deserves, the politics comes in. so anything like a limpet games,
4:29 pm
like the world cup. so your vision is no different in that sense. what are the nations that are in with a shout to night? well, sweden is a very good favor for amongst the bookies as well as the found they do well next year. they've won 6 times and they're looking to equal islands record 7 tonight. so i think they've got very good chance of steadily coming in the top 5 spain as well painted by farms as well. it's a bit of a dance number. it's very catchy. and if you bookcase it to be believed, united kingdom could be on for a good showing, certainly our best place in more than a decade. and i think that's a real testament. how are they tried this year? people watching in asia, the americas in africa may well be forgiven for thinking, ah, what on earth is this all about? how, how do you describe your vision and how it's become so big culturally? yeah, i think it is a once in a, in a year thing. it's a very unique in the television year. it's laura, the praise of major styles, like celine dion an hour, it's a huge, joyous event. and is the one thing that really does he not?
4:30 pm
europe, and even if people don't like it, they still have an opinion on it. and that time and people who television happens, the changing people stream things online. they download things, your vision, really bucks at trends. so it's a really valuable papa. cultural traffic. really good to talk to paul, enjoy the competition slot. i'll be watching too many thanks and a puzzle. still to come here. all that is our questions arise of whether ellen must bid to take over towards her. i will really go ahead. i'm some of the world's top athlete, skip this season, going up, go hog diamond, please. meeting saw here with the sport a little later. ah, on counting the cost for a design marco's junior effect, to be the philippines, what will it mean? 40 economy us present. joe biden, face fighting inflation is, is top domestic priority. so can you bring down the cost of living and what's

4:35 pm
priscilla. yon al jazeera. the kremlin says that vladimir putin has spoken to the finished president about finland's plans to join nato. according to russia, russian president told him that joining would be a mistake. the russian president also said that joining nato might have a negative impact on the relationship between russia and finland. meanwhile, turkeys president wretched typo to one. as also chimed in on the future of nato. he says that he opposes finland, unsweetened joining the alliance because they host what he called terrorist organizations. turkey has criticized european countries in the past for how they handle organizations like the kurdish p k. k, a, y, p g, and a decision on increasing nato membership must be agreed by all members. mr. on the switch where he landed, that he did. we don't hold positive views. previous turkish governments made a mistake about greatest membership and you know, greece, his current attitude towards turkey, backed by nato. we don't want to repeat similar mistakes. furthermore,
4:36 pm
the scandinavian countries, a guest house is for terrorist organizations, members of the p k, k. and the hate k, p c, a, hyphen in sweden and netherlands, the even members of the parliament in some countries. at this point is not possible for us to take a positive view. feel the supreme council of the united arab emirates is elected shake mohammed ben zide as the next president. it follows the death of his half brother shakily. i've been zaya out. not young. the 73 year old had been in part since succeeding his father in 2004. the u. e is observing 40 days of morning. ellen mosques, $44000000000.00 deal to buy. twitter is in his words, temporarily on hold. he says he's waiting for the company to provide data on how many user accounts are authentic, and how many a fake the well switches man wants to make twitter a form for a much more pure form. a free speech will sperm or fake accounts are designed to manipulate or artificially boost activity on twitter and other platforms. some are
4:37 pm
designed to create an impression that something, or some one is more popular than they actually are. twitter estimates for the number of spam accounts has been steady of below 5 percent since 2013. given that they've stayed the same for so long. analysts questioning why mosque is making an issue of it now? let's bring it, jim anderson, he's social media sector, lead at the firm glass ring ventures and choices now via skype from new york. good to have with us. jim, what do you make of this claim? then that mosque spit is temporarily on hold because of this issue of a spam accounts. yeah, it gives the ring of a little bit of a pretext spam and take accounts are definitely a concern. and i think he is well within his rights as a prospective owner of twitter to say that this one, this is a priority of his or this will be a priority of his. and really every social network or platform of any size deals with this problem. it's a, it's a game, they have a whack
4:38 pm
a mole where they have to just shut those accounts down and they get created just as quickly as they can shut them down. but there is really no reason to believe that 5 percent number they've quoted at least that we've seen publicly, is substantially under accounting. and i guess it's always possible that he has information or he has a reason to believe that that number is higher. but that would be a real big problem for a business that sells advertising and is effectively a ratings driven business. they spend a lot of time trying to make sure for their advertisers that they're providing good numbers. but the market isn't convinced that this isn't just an excuse from from a long mascot. it suspects that this deal divide. twitter isn't actually going to close. yeah, it sure looks that way. right. he offered $54.20 a share to buy twitter, and i think a close yesterday just about $40.00. so clearly there is normally a gap between what somebody is offered and the current price just to reflect some uncertainty. but that does
4:39 pm
a massive gap. so i think that market is very clearly expecting that the deal has it a lot of risk. and it seems pretty clear that he may be using this as just a strategy to re negotiate the price right now. $54.20 a share for twitter looks very high given what's been going on with the market. so it's not at all unreasonable to expect he's going to come up with some reason to say i really shouldn't have to pay that more. but i'm going to pay some amount lower than that. and really the problem for twitter is they may not have much recourse that it's not like there been a lot of other bitters that are willing to pay $54.20. why? with the man behind tesla and space x one, twitter in the 1st place. i mean it's not as if it's going to make him a huge amount of money or is it? i think he is a savvy business man, and he probably can make some money. but i don't think that's the primary motivator . when you're the richest person in the world, i think your, your motivations can be many and varied. and so he is really an outstanding user of twitter. and that goes a lot of what donald trump was able to do as 1st candidate and then as president,
4:40 pm
