12:02 pm
attack was unprovoked and the use of force was disproportionate. they released security camera for a showing the moment is ready, forces entered the medical institution. 13 people were injured. the police storm into a christian helping institute. the sort of disrespecting the church disrespecting to her institute disrespecting, the memory of the deceased, enforcing day pallbearers almost to drop the coughing israelis policing vision and disproportionate use of force affecting more nurse striking then with the tones using smoke grenades, shooting rubber ballads, bullets. frightening their hospital patients is a severe violation of international norm. and the regulations laughs. a man can, who's outside at the hospital in occupied east use them strong words of
12:03 pm
condemnation from hospital officials in mind. and also church leaders talk us through what they say happened on friday. well they took us through some cctv footage which we haven't seen before. the israeli port of police force is actually came into the courtyard, which is just over there. they attack before where they attacked and i went inside a little struggling against the river, stood away. oh, i shouldn't go. yes. yes, we're great. oh, yes, yes, please. all right, so this is a working hospital fully again, but let me just
12:04 pm
a recap. so that's where they went in. that's where the, the cctv footage are with that we've seen. we've not seen that before. that is absolutely new. i'm with the question now is why did they go inside her? the coffin was outside the pallbearers of were outside. anything that may have had to happen would have happened outside, so that's something that the church and the hospital are very angry about. and the 3 key words falling our condemnation, disrespect and disproportionate use of force that you mention, condemnation. there was an incredibly strong statement from them. now what's going to happen is the church is going to internally take a look at what happens next. that's likely to be a call for investigation from the israeli police, her to investigate the events. what happened there? blakely to be a court case as well against members all these really police and perhaps the state of his role. they're discussing all of the options that they want to do now. but
12:05 pm
the anger here is palpable. you can really, anybody that we, you speak to would certainly the we've been speaking to. i've been shocked by the events and they, we had the director general earlier saying in his 31 years he'd never seen anything like it. and again, as you say him run the main question now is why as the c c t v footage shows, why did this israeli forces actually enter the hospital? they've said that they're going to investigate the conduct of their offices. what can we realistically expect from that well, i don't know at. busy that means in terms of real practical elements and events, but the intellectual federation of journalists of suggested that 35 incidents against journalists have never been satisfactory, satisfactorily investigated. so i don't hold out much hold for a and is really an israeli investigation into what happened here. and don't forget, we are still waiting for an investigation into announcement on are the results of
12:06 pm
the investigation into the death of our colleague serene albert clay was took place on wednesday. and then we have this investigation as well. so there's a lot of pressure now on the israeli authorities to mount those investigations where they do or not, where they might go to that pressure haven't done so in the past. why should they start now? thank you for that in mankind outside st. joseph hospital in ocoee bodies, juicing voice the the war in ukraine now and soldiers defending ukraine, 2nd largest city of khaki, say that reached a border with russia. the defense ministry share a video celebration that a board of marker a video hasn't yet been independent, be verified. khaki was being shower daily by russian artillery a month ago about ukrainian force of regain territory in the northeast. and so to us, i beg, whose joins us live from near ca, keith, so ukrainian forces go all the way to the border with russia. what does that mean
12:07 pm
in terms of, you know, the fighting in the battle and the situation for khaki? well the battle car keith has been won by the ukrainians. if i refunding right. hey i saw that wearing body on my fire was hit just a month ago. actually, in fact, the 1st time we came to car give you credit into that wearing body armor. as soon as we entered the streets were empty, there's constant firing, going, guns, shouting, and artillery, fire all around us. now people have returned people outside the cafe, some cafes open restaurants, opening up today. the 1st day that public transport is running, a can see people walking their dogs, people riding their bikes. the atmosphere has completely changed and that's because the ukrainians have managed to push the russians further away. what the ministry of defense says, some of the troops i should reach the russian border. boat also is still not over.
12:08 pm
if you go to some of the villages around the park in the fields, some shutting and replied taking place and this morning northwest of here, we're hearing that the russians attempt to, to cross the board but will push back by the ukrainians out there this morning. northwest of the see me regents, but the battle for car key the foster ukrainians. the concern has definitely been one and there's a massive change around what we did go and visit some of those villages that the ukrainians have taken back yesterday. 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 in russian troops entered his home out of the robbers camera. oh sure they said granny, we are searching for
12:09 pm
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 that ukrainian soldiers accompanied us or on edge? were 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 a military escort and we're told what we can and cannot film the ukrainians have managed to push out russian from places like this. which means that 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 residents had left. the rest, slept in shelters, no place in the city was considered safe. all that has now changed. the flesh said the look typically what people are walking outside. we were at this park last week
12:10 pm
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 hockey with missiles, but the too far act to shell it. ah air raid sirens can still be heard daily. but residents, undeterred, not her so that the radio. her keith is quite no, no shootings or soldiers or 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. harkey is slow ye returning to some semblance of normality . even if the wool is not over. i said bake. i'll da 0 har keith.
12:11 pm
meanwhile, i knew ronda sanctions against russia is on the agenda. as e foreign ministers meet in brussels. they also considering another $500000000.00 in military aid to ukraine to bring the total to more than $2000000000.00. and the ministers are discussing a possible oil embargo on russia as being held back by new goes objections rather from hungary. this is how we will do remember either the can you union who managed to go forward and to send a very clear message to russia who would stuck. and now unfortunately, we the whole unit is being held hostage by one member state who cannot find that could help help us find a consensus as bringing our diplomatic editor james space live for us in brussels. so james, what can we expect from this minister's meeting while
12:12 pm
i'm not sure you're going to get any breakthrough at the, at the meeting today with regard to this issue. the 6 package of sanctions by the you is proposed and it includes that ban on russian oil with a call out for 2 nations, one of them hungry. but despite that, hungary still opposing this, we've got, protest is outside the building here, protesting hungers position. you've got ministers, like the foreign minister lithuania. you've, you've heard who are very angry about the hungarian position, saying it's holding the rest of the hostage. i can tell you most of the others aren't being quite as blunt of that, but they do. i think share similar views about the position of hungary with regard to the use foreign policy chief joseph morale. i interviewed him on thursday last week and he said to me, deals like this in the you, they take plenty of cooking and they take some days. but i am confident when i asked him as he arrived here and he was at a decide the canadian foreign ministers visiting the u. i asked him about the situation today. listen carefully,
12:13 pm
he doesn't sound so confident now or to leave. we will discuss about it. and we'll do our best in order to de blocked issue to ation. i cannot ensure that these are going to happen because those issues are quite strong by they say that the we understand a particular situation of some member to stage. and all of us make an effort to do that. we'll present a united front against russia. it will succeed, they try to put pressure on hungary over the last week or so at ambassador level. then we've had meetings in the last few days in berlin and nato. i'm sure of the hungarians there. the hungarian foreign minister came under pressure. they will, of course, try and persuade hungary again today, but already the german foreign minister. and alina burbock, who arrived here short time ago, she said, she doesn't think that there will be any development today. that means they can go ahead with the sanctions package,
12:14 pm
but she says she hopes it can still happen in the coming days. also worth telling you folly, that in the coming hours, the e u. ministers who are meeting here are going to be joined by dimitra collabo, the that collaborate the, the ukrainian foreign minister. and i'm sure he will also be putting pressure on hungary to agree to that sanctions package. james, thanking james move was adel. comedic editor lived there in brussels. still ahead on al jazeera, nobly assists in south korea office to send medicines to north korea, as it bows. covered 90 now ah, he has begun the the full world copies on its way to catholic group. your travel package to the there has been some snow on the hills of tasmania. heavy ones are cool pool of air here lower to the ground. holbert 13 degrees, white and windy,

12:17 pm
this is al jazeera and these are top stories. this our church leaders in ocoee bodies, jerusalem say israel forces attack on sharina block. his you know is disrespectful and disgraceful. they made the comments during a news conference earlier. soldiers defending ukraine, 2nd largest city of khaki, say they've reached the border with russia. the defense ministry shared a video of celebrations that are border mark marker. video has not been independently verified. and a new round of sanctions against russia is on the agenda. as in foreign ministers meeting brussels, the blocks foreign policy chief also wants to add another $400000000.00 in military aid to ukraine. ah. the final results in lebanon's election are expected in the next couple of hours. several independence have picked up seats, but are unlikely to change the political landscape. initial results indicate winds
12:18 pm
for iranian backed, has belie the kristin lebanese forces body. it's the 1st election since an economic collapse in 2019, and the bible to ought explosion. they know how to report from the lebanese capital . 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. 1022. we decide to change. so i bought some but did not under quoted yeah. so we're 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 force. they're expected to win a few seats, but not to change the political landscape. i know it's a charge for change,
12:19 pm
it's not the change yet. i hope for the next generation, they wouldn't be that change. that process began in late 2019, when massive crowds protested for months. they were met with violence. now many are to disillusioned to even try. a country has been long from longer to the same as before. the elections and we think we can change quickly. the supporters of the former prime minister side had a the think so as well. that's why they are boycotting the vote. had either headed the muslims and the 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. 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
12:20 pm
armed pro. iranian party, that, along with its allies, 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 works against them. and they're not united, which means the vote is flipped and it is much harder to reach the electoral threshold. votes 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 and dysfunctional system a new lease of life. then they also zita battled. molly is fully out of a regional military, a line fighting armed groups. in this i have region. molly's military rulers made
12:21 pm
