morally striking them with buttons using smoke grenades, shooting rubber, bullets, and frightening the hospitals. patience is a severe violation of international norms and regulations, including the fundamental human right of freedom of religion, which must be observed in a hobbling space. that's the statement from them. now they're looking at legal action against the state of israel, against the israeli police. they taking legal advice on to what happened, but the version of events that the clergy have actually put out there today is incomplete contradictions of the events. these railey police pulled out these ready, police said they were acting on behalf of the family that was denied in this press conference. they said that they had given these really beliefs, no permission to come in, that they stole. and that's the work they use. they stormed in to the hospital itself. now this is going to be very a embarrassing to these ready police, but also is going to be slightly worrying for the is where the police because this is the christian church that it comes under the vatican. it's also protected by the,

11:32 am
police. we as a hospital, we were very concerned about letting the funeral go to the our own. we didn't have any other role and i'm not aware of any other communication that took place between the family and the police. you've issued us a condemnation of these radio police actions, but is it going to go further? what's the status with the legal. busy administration out of the hospital, represented by his jacket to get your msr visa by law. we're considering taking legal action against the police for that it brutal attack of the house at the hospital. and with no reason, we were witnesses and we have videos that show nothing. attack was from our side or from the hospital or from day a funeral participants. our the police, the intention was not to allow the day coven to go outside with people. this was
11:33 am
the attack them against the pallbearers again, yet a coffin. it was deported by barriers and barrens manly. and dick coffin, we were, we are sure of what we've seen and what we've witnessed that they were attacking gay people carrying dick awful. and like you say in 31 years you've never seen anything like this. what's the next step for you? is it going to be a legal, a fight with the israel police? what will it be against the state of israel? i think we will go. we have to study this with our legal advisors and we will, we will say that i measured that, that i time general director. thank you very much. thank you very much. thank you. thank you. so fully you heard the words there from the journal director of the hospital, they all going to take this further strong condemnation of the events that took place on friday. very good. i am ran for you to have been able to interview the general director of st. joseph hospital, it is past 830
11:34 am
a g m t just to remind our viewers of what we've been listening to in the last hour or so. im, ron, this was a news conference by the catholic clergy of jerusalem along with other officials a including the general director of st. joseph hospital. i st. joseph hospital, of course, the scene of the attack on at the funeral procession of our colleagues sharina black lay by. is there any force as talk as to what we heard earlier? what, what we heard was us a condemnation of the events that took place. that was the 1st thing. i'm just gonna just bear with me slide. i have to just bring up my of the statement that they've issued. further. i get the was, i don't get the words wrong. so we the bishop's, the faithful. the christian church is in the holy land here by condemn the violent intrusion of israeli police into a funeral procession of the slain generation, a booklet as it was going from saint joseph's school to the greek mental kite
11:35 am
cathedral church. the police stormed into the christian health institute. disrespecting the church, that's the other word that is absolutely crucial, had disrespect. they say that this is actually sovereign territory, that they shouldn't use ready. police have no jurisdiction. it really to come in. there was no violent attacks happening here. there was no criminal activity happening. it was a funeral. it was the beginning of serene barclays general. and the pull bears were attacked and you heard of the general director of the hospital saying it was an attack against them. and this basically contradicted what we've heard from, from israeli, our forces about this incident because that said that they were acting on behalf of the family. but the brother of shaheen was attending these is this, this news conference today at the st. joseph hospital. and if absolutely denied to those claims, hey, absolutely, he did, i did very quickly. as soon as he is ready, police put out that statement. he said we didn't talk to them. the general direct
11:36 am
to that backing up, saying wasn't aware of any conversations that were going on between the family and of the police. all the pallbearers wanted to do was to take the coffin down to the greek ma coach about a 45 minute walk away from where i was standing. right now. this courtyard. i was watching those pictures and i was short as they entered in. but why i didn't realize what the cctv foot is actually showed, which was even more shocking to many people watching it as they went in to the church there. you can see the media head but it's through those doors, but they actually went inside. now 13 people, like i say, were injured in that are in the attack against the pull bear as an inside the hospital osha and fully this is, this has been really shocking, not just for palestinians, not just what people are around the world, but even for israelis israeli media has condemned or what happened here on a moral basis. they actually talk about the legal basis or the fact that it should never have happened in the 1st place, but it has, it was driven shock waves,
11:37 am
not just through the world, but israeli society as well. yeah. we saw images, of course, the images that were beamed around the world where from outside the hospital. we saw the polar bear is being attacked by israeli forces almost dropping sharon's coffin. but went to the hospitals, have relief, has been east to day. officials are also cctv images of inside the hospital is really forces actually entering the hospital which we didn't see previously. that's obscene, right? that's image is the i've seen for the very 1st time. i think his image is that most people have been seeing for the very 1st time. you have to ask yourself those simple question. what on earth were they doing inside the pool barrels were outside the coffin was outside. why go inside? why a scare? a pregnant woman, why put a disabled man in a position where he thought that he was going to get beaten up? why would you do that? why would you go inside these questions now that the israeli police need to answer
11:38 am
and they are under a tremendous amount of pressure, particularly as they issued that statement, saying they were acting on the instructions on the family was clearly at wasn't the case of any legal case of this hospital, this church brings against the israeli state, or the israel police. we'll be focusing on those questions, not just what happened in the court yard, but what happened inside as well, whether it gets to a court case, how long that takes, that's down to the israeli legal system. but given the anger that we've been hearing from church representatives, i'm sure they're gonna try and push this through. yeah. is there any forces in law had said that they are going to investigate the conduct on their offices who were there at st. joseph hospital. i mean, what can we realistically expect out of that? well, the only thing i can call you is that the international federation of journalists who say the 35 journalists were, have been attacked in israel. and none of those have been investigated in any kind
11:39 am
of satisfactory manner. that's what they've been saying. that's what they've always maintained if that's the track record. but i'm not entirely sure of anybody in israel. anybody in palestine has any kind of confidence that they will investigate this properly? indeed, there are a number of investigations that need to be done. don't forget, we still have to say here for me is really police the state of israel as well in the, into the investigation of the death of serene block late. and now there's a secondary investigation about the events of her funeral m. ron, thank you very much. for the moment that sanchez here is a man con, reporting their line from outside st. joseph hospital, where there's just been a news conference detailing what happened during the incident in which a v a funeral procession for a colleague, shaheen black. they was attacked by israeli forces that happened on friday, if heard strong condemnation from officials, including from the cafe clergy of jerusalem. this is what patriarch pierre batista
11:40 am
pisa balla had to say about the actions of these really forces. on friday, the police storm into a christian healthy institute. the sort of disrespecting the church disrespecting to her institute disrespecting, the memory of the deceased enforcing the barbarous, almost to drop the coffee. israelis policing vision and disproportionate use of force affecting more nurse striking then with the tones using smoke grenades, shooting robert bullets, bullets, frightening their hospital patients is a severe volition of informational norm and regulations. and we'll have more reaction and analysis throughout the day here to that news conference outside the st. joseph hospital in ocoee bodies, jerusalem, where the funeral procession for our colleague was attacked on friday. meanwhile
11:41 am
marches, marking the 74th anniversary of the creation of the seat of israel known to palestinians as are marked by all catastrophe, have ended in violence. palestinian students were arrested a tel aviv university on sunday, after confrontations with white wing active and staging counter protests. israeli media report to have been released, but one remains in police custody accused of assault. and they've been defiant messages from palestinians at a riley in the gaza strip. they flew balloons, bearing the names of cities occupied by israel in 1948 more than 700000 palestinians were driven from their homes in the year. israel was found a is really forces have injured several palestinian protesters in the occupied west bank. they were running near the bait l settlement in the city of ramallah on sunday. there is increased tension this year after the killing of our colleagues, al jazeera journalist, serene ab walker. let's
11:42 am
turn our attention to the war in ukraine now, and ukrainian troops defending the eastern city of khaki say they've reached a border with russia. the defense ministry shared a video of soldiers celebrating at a border marker. the video has not yet been independently verified. a month ago, ukraine's 2nd largest city was being shelves daily by russian forces. i saw a big reports on the residence in villages around car keith now trying to rebuild their lives. the indelible scars of war are everywhere here in rusk, as is over in the villages that surround her give, the majority of residents fled to russian, advance their pets left behind in the rush to reach safety. inside the medical clinic, a tank shell remains 87 year old ego state. he recalled when russian troops entered his home. oh, robert camera. oh sure they said granny, we are searching for
11:43 am
a weapon. granny is more than 80 years old. where is she supposed to get the weapon? they were jumping over the fence is breaking everything. i said, do you want to shoot me? shoot, i'm not scared, was it? the ukrainian soldiers accompanied us or on edge. we're told the village is mind, but the consent seems to be giving away true positions, tactics or anything that may cast a shadow over. what's happened here. we can only get access to villages like this with the military escort and re told what we can and cannot film the ukrainians have managed to push out russian from places like this. which means the hockey city is now a little safer for its residence. a site that would not have been possible. a month ago, a 3rd of the residence had left the rest, slipped in shelters, no place in the city was considered safe. all that has now changed the person who did the chile,
11:44 am
what people are walking outside. we were at this park last week and it was empty. we thought we weren't allowed to be outside khaki is coming back to normal life. you can see that life is still going on. war is war, but we must live. the constant sound of the city being pounded seems like a distant memory. the russian military can still target harkey with miss isles, but the too far out to shell it. ah air raid sirens can still be heard daily. but residents, undeterred nation, so that the hang out, hartley is quite no, no shootings or soldiers are protecting us, glory to crane. i wish everybody would come back alive from the war and all russian troops go back to their country and never come back. it's our ukranian land and we will fight for it. toys. hark eve is low ye returning to some semblance of normality? even if the wool is not over. i said, bake. i'll jazeera hark. if
11:45 am
a new round of sanctions against russia is on the agenda, as e foreign ministers meet in brussels, they're also likely to discuss increasing military aid to ukraine. the bronx foreign policy chief wanted to add another $500000000.00 to the support fund, bringing the total to more than $2000000000.00 to we also very much worried about the consequence issues. these war all are under wool. we are going to phase a deep economy crisis because of the price increases from the tricia deal fort i will have to unite the will forces in order to explain to the world that this not because our sanctions would be covered, the war itself. ah, the final results in lebanon's election are expected in the next few hours. several independent have picked up seats, but are unlikely to change the political landscape initial results indicate winslow
11:46 am
iranian bank has bella and the christian. lebanese forces party is the 1st election since and economic collapse in 2019, and the barrel to ot explosion. then a harder report. somebody booked lebanon, has all but collapsed yet, the establishment that plunged the country into darkness is seeking re election. the nearly bankrupt state has been struggling to provide services on election day. it was no different and it's this status quo that many are hoping to change. 2022. we decide to change. so i bought some but did not. and i wanted to can ya so wow, hopefully it will change. but unseating the political class that has been governing this country for decades is not easy. anti establishment coalitions fielded many candidates, the so called change forces. they're expected to win a few seats, but not to change the political landscape. i know it's
11:47 am
a chart for change. it's not the change. yes. i hope for the next generation. they wouldn't be that change. that process began in late 2019, when massive crowds protested for a month. they were met with violence. now many are too disillusioned to even try. a country has been there long for me longer, the same as before. the elections and we think, well if we can change the supporters of the former prime ministers that had the think so as well, that's why they are boycotting the vote. had either had the muslim sunday communities, largest block in parliament, but left politics earlier this year. blaming it on iran's influence through its ally has below, over the country. number 2005. we want to majority across the country where we couldn't translate those gains into anything tangible. there was a gun pointed at our back. has buller already controls the country has belies an armed pro. iranian party that, along with its allies,
11:48 am
are in the majority in the outgoing parliament. its opponents, mainly pro western and pro saudi parties are hoping to shift the balance of power. it's a traditional political divide that has led to bouts of sectarian violence in the past. and breaking through their grip on power has always been difficult. anti establishment candidates were already at a disadvantage before voting started their up against powerful forces, a system that worse against them, and they're not united, which means the vote is flipped and it is much harder to reach the electoral threshold. those who are still being counted. but big changes are unlikely. the relatively low turn out is a sign that the election will only give what many have described the corrupt in dysfunctional system. a new lease of life. cynical there also is eda battled molly is pulling out of a regional military alliance fighting armed groups in the region. molly's military rulers made the announcement fighting
