2:02 am
napa. the day when palestinians commemorate the trauma of 948. 0, one more than 700000, were forcibly expelled or flood their homeland. but now another outrage. the killing a well known and respected al jazeera journalist, sharina o'clock. she was shot dead pell, any unsafe ais, really forces, while working, clearly labeled as press. and then at her funeral, this, ah, many people have many words for this attack. from the white house podium, it was a regret the intrusion in intrusion. press secretary gen saki would not go on to condemn the attack. and the president had this to say, i don't know all the detail, but i know it has to be investigated. phyllis bennis was not surprised. well,
2:03 am
there's a very consistent pattern here in the u. s. has been for decades the primary, political, economic, military strategic backer of israel, and it's among other things been committed to preventing any level of accountability. wow. members of congress have weighed in on twitter, calling it deeply disturbing. unacceptable saying the u. s. must condemn the attack on the funeral. and one congresswoman tweeted after her killing the u. s. must demand an end to israeli apartheid. the german foreign minister also wait in as is meant, aha, it's incredibly important to me and we've made it very clear that her death is explained in a transparent way. and it's even solder that the funeral ceremony could not be held in peace and dignity. to be honest, i'm deeply shocked, owned, and the french foreign minister treated as well, saying he was shocked and appalled, condemning the death and demanding a transparent investigation. oh, these really please say they will investigate,
2:04 am
given the public comments from the vine administration. it is unclear how much if any pressure they will put on israel to fall through to try and explain all of this particle. he al jazeera washington. well, let's bring in, richard asked good state. he served as the us diplomat during the term of president who clinton joins as far as skype from old bridge, new jersey. thanks for being with us here today. what do you make of the reaction from the white house over these shocking events? look, i think this administration has made it clear it is calling for the absolute most thorough investigation possible. i mean, for the president, i states to say that obviously not putting himself out on a limb, but by the same token, there are facts that need to be developed in terms of the
2:05 am
boil, for example. and to the extent that it, the weapons that israelis were using or turned over to a 3rd party is pressed by both sides to do an investigation. seems to me that's not too much to ask for either side to do. and i think that's pretty much what the administration is asking for. let me ask you this. and israel says it's investigation, but it doesn't have much of a history of sanctioning its own forces. does it? well, they're actually in the history of the military tribunal. israel pudding, one of the soldiers in jail for killing a palestinian with more than one of those instances. does israel have clean hands? certainly, as evidenced by what happened at that funeral procession. no. in this case, absolutely not. so i don't think anybody should expect that in israel only investigation is going to be something that satisfies all parties. but that's not
2:06 am
to say that israel shouldn't do an investigation, it should. but it's quite clear that whatever israel says will not satisfy those who do not share any sympathy for israel. you've met a wide range of israeli and palestinian leaders as a member of the building for peace organization. do you think more leaders around the world should just condemn what we will see? look, certainly what's happening at the funeral is, is can dental. i mean, i haven't read anything that suggests there's a justification for what happened there. as far as the shooting is concerned, again, by all you know, we heard from my witnesses saying that there was nothing about it that was anything other than a targeted account. but again, there are, there's hard evidence and they said the bullet weapon and cetera that should be
2:07 am
turned over. and i think until we, and that's not again something that's all that complicated. presumably palestinian officials have the bullet that killed terrain. it's not too much to ask them to part with that to a responsible 3rd party. and before that, i have governments around the world condemn something where we really don't know the entirety, the facts that may be a bit too much. ok, we'll leave it there. richard f. good thing for my american diplomats in the time of president bill clinton. thank you. thank you. palestinian president, mark and the bass has received a delegation from al jazeera and committed to investigating the killing of assuring . they do not accept the israelis taking part in an investigation. a bass also condemned the bravery of a jo. this in the war did show in the star of jerusalem metal. a brother received the award on her dentist and then we will continue the
2:08 am
investigation and will in no way allow israel's to be a partner to this investigation because they are killers. and they are the ones who killed her home. the leader of her math and the gaza strip. yas in last spoke to her earlier, he's called for justice to be served to those who killed shipping. i love you oper our, this is a complete crime. we want to know who gave the order to assassinate sharina. we are confident that the person who gave the order to attack our tower were out there was gas office was the same that gave order to break the hand of audi 0 of our gary and checked her out. and also the person who gave the order to kill sherman and we want them to be brought before justice. ah, at least 10 people have been killed in a shooting and a supermarket in the u. s. city of buffalo, police and new york state say the gunman is in custody. according to local media,
2:09 am
he was dressed in body armor and at least 3 other people were injured. supermarket is in a predominantly black neighborhood about 5 kilometers north of downtown buffalo. kristin slew me is life right now in buffalo christian. what's the latest on this developing situation? what we've just heard from local officials about what happened. the sheriff from the buffalo area described it as pure evil, the f b. i says they're investigating the shooting that left at least 10 people dead as a hate crime. and as a racially motivated violence extremism case, they say that an 18 year old white male is now in custody. he came to the scene wearing tactical gear carrying an assault rifle and wearing a camera that live stream the event as he approached the store. 3 people, 4 people,
2:10 am
sorry, were shot outside of the supermarket. the rest were shot inside 11 out of the 13 victims are african american and not in an african american neighborhood, is what police believe is why peace police believe in addition to statements he made supposedly on social media that he, this is the racially motivated incident. so the name of the suspect has not yet been released. however, the young man is in custody. we know one of the victims was a retired police officer who tried to engage him and stop him. he was shot dead. police then arrived at the scene and ordered him to drop his weapon, which he did and they took him into custody. and kristin yet another mass shooting in the united states. it seems to happen with alarming regularity. ah,
2:11 am
yeah. report just came out from the centers for disease control and it marked 2020, actually as the highest number of recorded gun deaths on record. a trend that continued into 2021 and into this year as well. in 2020, for example, gun related homicides went up 35 percent. again, a trend that is continuing just yesterday and the small city of know, walkie wisconsin authorities, their report that there were 10 separate shootings over the course of 12 hours. 3 people were dead. 25 people left injured. so this is becoming a great concern nationwide, not just in big cities like new york and chicago, but also places like buffalo, which is a smaller population norm know, walkie wisconsin, as well as so clearly this is a big concern for local,
2:12 am
state and federal officials in fact, we know that president joe biden was brief by his homeland security advisor on what happened in buffalo. ok, kristen salumi for now. thank you. pro abortion rights activists saw marching around the u. s. to demand continued access to the procedure. they're responding to a leak to supreme court memo, which threatens to take away the constitutional right to an abortion. the draft opinion, a majority of justice is supported over turning the landmark roe. the wade decision which legalize the procedure across the states. this week congress failed to possible that would have enshrined abortion access into law and correspond with gabriel at his on the was at the march in washington dc. tens of thousands of people out here in washington, d. c. these are all abortion rights supporters. and as you can see, the numbers are huge. we're seeing young people, old people, parents with their children are very diverse crowd here. and they have one thing in
2:13 am
common. and if they want to keep roe v wade, they want to keep women right. or the ability to have an abortion, and they are again, the possibility that the supreme court could overturn that landmark decision of roe vs wade. a decision that's been on the ensure in the constitution here for women to have an abortion or be allowed to for nearly 50 years now. and the crowd that we're seeing here, you can really get a sense of how there is outrage, and they're taking their message directly to the supreme court, trying to fight any change. because they feel so strongly that abortion should remain. part of the constitution was sort of head on out was era after weeks of russian bombardment, residence of ukraine's 2nd city. finally starting to rebuild their summer in hockey and temperatures, reach 50 degrees celsius. and parson, pakistan,
2:14 am
fear that melting glass is complete, the flesh nothing. ah, it's feeling more like summer across the great lakes. hey everyone. so toronto, for example, on sunday 27 degrees, but we've got a cluster of energy around the upper mid west, the great lakes into the northeast, and some of this rain activity. it's going to knock back the temperature, the risk of showers sunday monday into toronto. it's a high of 18 degrees on tuesday, so big change from where you are now, but more in line with where you should be for this some year off to the west, we go is got a feed of some pacific grain for the western candidate, the pacific northwest and as we head toward the desert southwest parched conditions or they continue, we may even see some record temperatures in new mexico. so that will worse and the wild fire situation there across the gulf states. we do have some rain coming into
2:15 am
our louisiana. so this could be actually pretty heavy stuff. southern areas of mississippi into alabama central america looks like this, a pretty constant feet of rain, nicaragua, costa rica and panama, that meets up with the wet weather towards the top end of south america. we'll get there in one second, but flooding also seems likely across areas of cuba and the bahamas. okay. top end of south america, that persistent rain for both the atlantic coast and also the pacific coast and further toward the south. a cool pool of air extending from punter rain as into montevideo, temperatures are below average. ah, again, culture dominates america's underworld, that has it permeated law enforcement itself. they want exactly what every gang member wants, a power and control. both lines, investigate allegations of organized gangs within the los angeles sheriff's
2:16 am
department taking the law into their own hands. a failure at every level from every r of los angeles county government shadow system and lay secretive sheriff gangs on al jazeera. ah ah they're watching, i'll just reminder of our top stores in the palestinian authority says it welcomes international support. investigate and i'll just you're a journalist should be in murder i really forces trin was laid to rest on friday. but before's when these funeral procession, osteen and present matthew, the boss, has received a delegation from al jazeera and committed to investigation the killing offering of
2:17 am
our claim. vassals have commended the bravery of al jazeera journalists and awarded issued the style of jerusalem. and these 10 people have been killed in the shooting . in a supermarket, u. s. a city of buffalo police in york state say the gunman is in custody. order to local media. he was dressed in body armor and at least 3 other people were injured . rushes at president latimer putin has told his finished counterpart that joining nato would be a mistake. sally nestor informed booting of finland's intention to join the alliance in a phone call on saturday. russia cut off its electricity supply earlier in what's seen as retaliation for those pants. russian power accounts for around 10 percent or fin in supply, but the government in helsinki says it's making up the shortfall with imports from sweden, which is also likely to join later. i hope that that's weird and will also
2:18 am
decide to join nato to get there with finland and that we are making the decisions simultaneously. and hopefully we'll give them or send staff locations that we are willing to join nato together. i think this is crucial from the perspective of the whole nordic and baltic sea region, the security, a region that we share. i think it's very important that we are making the decisions to get there while finland and sweden's potential membership has been the main topic of the nato foreign ministers, summit and berlin, where it's been opposed by major member of the lines that boston explains. unified support for your grade. that's basically the main theme here, the foreign ministers meeting and berlin. the big topic will be natal membership for finland and sweden. the application is expected to happen in the next few days . it's a big historic moment for both nation to be neutral for such
2:19 am
a long time. but they now say the footprints actions and ukraine has pushed them towards nato. with an s sad, it's a big mistake for the nations to join. nato and kremlin has already warned that will be a reaction electricity coming from russia to finland has already been caught up today. and then there's other hitch precedent, one of turkey as that he can't flee, was formed to nate to membership of the nordic nation especially suite. and he says has been hosting what he calls fairest organizations and he's talking about the kurdish work party, the p k. k. that's why 30 people predominantly big majority of the turkish people are against the membership of those countries who are supporting a p k, k y p g, tennis organization. and they're asking us to block this membership. but these are the issues that we need to talk, of course, with our nato allies. all 30 members of nato have to approve the application. and
2:20 am
this process is most likely take several months. and sweden mostly worried about the so called grace period, when they have not got the protection of article 5, which means. and the 2nd one is an attack on all ukraine says russian troops have withdrawn from its 2nd largest city hall case. after weeks of heavy bombardment, cities mer says ukrainian forces of now pushed russian troops far from the region. the russian army has apparently stopped, is advance in northern hockey instead of focusing on guarding supply routes. ukraine's military says russia has intensified its r u. n. s. strikes in the east in the next region. next chunk of lives in hockey, he says that people are slowly starting to build their lives, even though they're still in danger. it was like the situation when you don't know whether you're going to wake up or not. you know, when you go to sleep in evening so that, that wasn't,
2:21 am
that was very scary. i think it's, it's a situation of, you know, step by step. we just, we have to get back to normal life. so somehow, you know, some day we, we just wish to return to normal life. and there's not a lot of like, not a lot we can do, we can't rebuild the whole city. like in a couple of months. it's gonna, it's gonna take a lot of time, but we, you, we're like, we can, you know, we might as well start to rebuild it today. so that's, that's what we're trying to do. i don't want to be under, under any illusion that we are still a fan will. you can go back to normal state starting from monday. you know that that's, that's a dangerous illusion. we are still in danger every day while russian forces withdraw from it. northern ukraine, they're gaining territory in the countries east. have been pounding towns and villages with artillery and then moving troops forward. i said vaguely force once
2:22 am
an idyllic street on the edge of town. now a giant crater, bricks and mortar ripped apart. this is all that remains after russian forces targeted the outskirts of blackmore in eastern ukraine over them with many people's hearts and souls went to building these homes. the war has destroyed so many women . but some people are glad to be alive and grateful for what they have left oh, from you. 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 his feet crunch on shattered windows as he tries to salvage what he can yet 0, one of his few neighbors. i'm still here offers him a cigarette. in the same town,
2:23 am

2:28 am
