12:03 pm
this current political climate, israel is simply untenable for, for these rallies and something that the opposition would use against the government. it's something that is unpopular amongst is really the public. and it's also something that the army doesn't want to do. the army doesn't want an investigation that may will lead to certainly criminal charges and perhaps even a prosecution. so it looks like it won't to be investigated. do it through that route. however, there were, in the days after sharina killing reports that these really army did take a look at the investigation. they did speak to the soldiers involved, they did take away weapons, they did try and do testing. all of that suggested that there was responsibility. all the israeli army for the killing overseeing, i will likely, but this will come as a disappointment to many palestinians, but not a surprise. we actually spoke to sharina blacklist. finally, they gave us a statement. it's just worth me reading that statement. he,
12:04 pm
we were expecting this from the is where you side, that's why we didn't want them to participate in the investigation. want to hold whoever's or is responsible for these accounts accountable. we urge the u. s. in particular, since he is a us citizen and international community to open it just and transparent investigation and put an end to these things. now the u. s. is also partial on israel for a transparent investigation. this will anger the u. s. this idea that they won't investigate the international community once an investigation or it comes down to the palestinians, aren't surprised about this. and certainly, as you've just heard the family answer asked about this and told andy them, ron con, that with all that from western slim. thank you so much. and ron, well, let's know, speak to nita abraham, the she's in ramallah in the occupied west bank. and we were hearing from m ranita no surprise on the part of the family, but it really was never much confidence on the palestinian side in any sort of an israeli investigation. a sentence that was heard the lot from palestinians
12:05 pm
over the past few days is that city in is not the 1st and sadly, she will be the last. we heard the sentence from officials, from palestinians, from the cliff that he's from a lot of people who felt they knew city and they would, inc, enraged by her killing. and the reason why we're saying that is because people fear that israel has impunity and can get away with it. can it is already getting away with because they feel there's no accountability. and we've heard palestinians say also, we're not expecting justice from o at killers. this is also a sentence we've been hitting off it. now, the focus that the palestinians want to be highlighted now is at prosecution in international court. they want the funds to go to the international criminal court. this is what the palestinian authority has confirmed. it's working on doing, we've interviewed the palestinian prime minister, how much that year. he says he's in touch with their palestinian attorney general.
12:06 pm
the investigations are gonna be conducted by palestinian teams. and would they expect the files to be finished within the upcoming days? and then they will hand that file over to that relevant a parties to the states asking to push for accountability. now it's been for palestinians, they would say that what has already allowed is road to continue with its practices . violations, crimes against palestinians is the fact that is, it is getting away with what is getting what is already getting away with this has indeed made palestinians angry. it were frustrated, more sad than when shitty was killed because they say that these crimes are going to continue need abraham. that with that for us, from ramallah and the occupied west bank. thank you need to the ukraine war now. and russia says,

12:13 pm
please open these port. secretary general antonio terrace is warning. there is no solution to the growing global food crisis without reintegrating ukraine's food production into world market. roster must permit the safe and secure exports of grains stored in ukraine ports. alternative transportation routes can be explored, even if we know that by itself they will not be enough to solve the problem. at a food security meeting at the un, america's top diplomat urged countries to make significant new contributions to humanitarian organizations facing food insecurity. he also called on countries with significant grain and fertilizer reserves to help. there are an estimated 22000000 tons of grain sitting in silos in ukraine. right now. food that could immediately go toward helping those in need. if it can simply get out of the country, food supplies around the world have already been declining because of warming temperatures. and the pandemic guitarist says talks can prevent

12:15 pm
tickly still me and my and central thailand. but we're going to head south where the change of over season here is already brought snow to the far size office trailer in the alps, obviously. but if you follow this wind up now, which is quite a cobra, it picks up a little moisture and then comes on shore in queens. and what happened recently in queensland flooding all the way from the tropics, down towards britain and beyond. most bands we saw a couple of weeks ago, but they're all the same. and his son to pile up this rain. same line last year because little tropical cycling. gina, having gone through event a water slowly on its way south west. so is brisbin going to be affected by this rain? yes, it's going to rain all day on saturday, but then it will still disappear. so i don't think again, we're going to have any significant problems, but it may not be welcome bright. as the new zealand here to rain and it's getting cold now, so it'll be widespread snow on the higher ground of south island. so in the middle of course, and a bit in the north as well. things are a little bit better,
12:16 pm
but not much. also they a oh mm lou. oh oh,
12:17 pm
oh there i'm is. does he attain dawn? let's remind you about top stories here. the salad reports in israeli medias suggest the military does not plan to investigate the killing of al jazeera journalist. sharina clay in the occupied west bank killing has been widely condemned and cools for an independent investigation of growing. russia says almost 2000 ukrainian fight is of surrendered from the other style steel wax and mario poles. and monday, the red cross says it's registered hundreds of ukrainian fighters from area poll as prisoners of war. meanwhile, the un secretary general has won't have a global food shortage in the coming months due to the war in ukraine, antonio terrorist, that is, he's in 10th contact with several countries to try to prevent a crisis. the while body is working at restoring ukrainian grain shipments and reviving exports of russian fats rise. meanwhile, g 7 finance ministers are meeting in germany with the high cost of rebuilding ukraine after the war on the agenda. they're also discussing ukraine's immediate
12:18 pm
financial needs. we have to secure the liquidity off growing state. we press 5 to bravery, which you, people are showing in, fight for freedom, for, for all on all of our value. so we feel responsible for the capability of the state and its people to defend themselves. steadfast and has worn out from berlin. is clear that the countries to 7 economic power will have to dig deep into their pockets. the us treasury a 2nd through china yelling yes, yes, they said the financial support for your brain is simply not enough at the moment you create is really struggling at the moment to just make their daily meet needs because of the war courses. they have no money to pay for, they punch
12:19 pm
a civil servant. all the soldiers of course, have to be paid. so what's the g 7 minutes is now trying to put together, it's a package of around $15000000000.00, a us dollars. half of it will be paid by the us. but then of course, we haven't even talked about reconstruction. there are estimates that around a 100000000000 costs of damages have been done to infrastructure. it's an idea of flow to now by the us. and also by year of to russia partially face for this. moving on, the number of people in north korea with fever like symptoms has reached nearly 2000000 curve at 19, is spreading quickly through the vaccination population that need to kim jones has deployed the military and ordered nationwide lockdown, and believe the actual number of infections maybe even higher due to a lack of testing and a reluctance amongst health workers to report cases. well, health officials in the us are wanting the cases of credit 19 arising there and
12:20 pm
could get worse in the coming month. about a 3rd of the population lives in areas considered as higher risk, with reported cases up 26 percent from last week. people having edge to wear masks and doors and take more precautions. we've seen with prior increases infections in, in, in, you know, different waves of infection have demonstrated that this travels across the country and has the potential to travel across the country. so i think the important thing to recognize is that we actually have the tools to prevent it. and so we would ask you to wisely use these tools. and us doctors now say around one in 101119 patients will end up developing that condition known as long coded. the symptoms aren't completely understood, but they include fatigue, pain, mental impairments, and even heart problems. how does your customer has more from baltimore? 5 minutes of play time with a 4 year old son is enough to raise michael clark's heart rate to concerning level
12:21 pm
just a little bit. if he decided one day he wants to run away from the a probably can't chase him. what are we going to do? clark is 33 and was an avid runner before he contracted cove it in march 2020. now more than 2 years later, he still feels crippling fatigue and a long list of other symptoms. i'm a fraction of the person that i had hoped to be that i used to be. so we're talking, shortness of breath, rhetoric, in chest pains, we're talking chest tightness, we're talking intense, debilitating headaches. this is life with long cove id defined by the world health organization as otherwise unexplained post covered symptoms that last for at least 2 months. many people like clark have symptoms that appear to be indefinite. he says he's made lifestyle changes to cope, and it's fortunate to have a job, but let some work from home. many others are not as lucky. i've seen personally in
12:22 pm
my support groups, multiple people that have died by suicide because the symptoms of their long covert experience was just too much to handle. and they couldn't withstand the pain anymore. i think that it's time to shift the focus from cove it as an acute, severe illness that has a mortality rate, which is very important, but also to start paying attention to those millions of people that are living disabled. and that are going to need programs and support from the government from society at large. johns hopkins is among the about 60 hospital system in the us with dedicated post cove clinics. medical experts say that is not nearly enough to treat the up to 23000000 americans suffering long term symptoms. oh hello. i hate it to clerk. multiple referrals and months of waiting to be accepted into the johns hopkins clinic. here. he'll get
12:23 pm
a rehabilitation plan. there's still no cure for long cove id. the novelty of it is something that we have to live with because it is a big and known as to what the long term complications are going to be. the u. s. government has launched an effort to study and treat long cove id, but the help can't come soon enough for those who are suffering and wondering if they'll ever get better. all right, is there go heidi joe castro al jazeera, baltimore, maryland. while staying in the u. s. on president joe biden has now invoked a cold war era law to ease a nation wide shortage of baby formula. under the defense production act, supplies are now required to send ingredients used in baby formula to major manufacturers. fust biden is also ordered the defense department to use military aircraft to import baby milk from overseas. the shortage stems from a recall by formula make abbot in february after 2 babies died. vince production act gives the government the ability to require suppliers to direct needed
12:24 pm
resources to infant formula manufacturers before any other customer who may have ordered that good. i'm also now to an operation slide formula. best to be able to speed up the import of imprint formula and start getting more formulated stores as soon as possible. joanna hatch is on the board of directors for the mother's milk alliance, a community milk sharing organization. she says women need support and breast feeding, and if that doesn't work, another option is donated milk. these are short term solutions and short term solutions are necessary to help families that are in crisis right now. i think for myself and for the organization that i'm a part of mothers milk alliance which supports facilitated donor milk sharing in our community. and the long term solution also has to be creating sustainable systems for families to be able to have the support they need to establish breastfeeding, to have time to be with their babies, to continue breastfeeding. and then when breastfeeding doesn't work to have safe
12:25 pm
alternatives, including donor milk and a safe supply of baby organization here in madison, wisconsin provides an alternative formula, supplementation for some families. so donor milk is an option for families who are facing or a shortage of formula for organizations like ours, we facilitate sharing in the community. so we connect families who have too much now were able to donate, who are healthy and whose babies are healthy to share their additional milk with families who might not have quite enough to feed their babies. there's also options such as more established formal milk base, such as the human milk base alliance of north america. here in our region. as well as other forms of community milk sharing among family and friends who may share breast milk in order to feed their babies. now moving on and flooding, and the great lakes and kenya has fullest tens of thousands of people from their homes and which has a report from lake the crew,
12:26 pm
water levels that have been rising for years. laken a quarter used to be inside a national park just behind those trees not extends beyond the parks boundaries. can you say they've seen the lake rise over the years? then at the beginning of 2020 off to particularly heavy rains and king of highlands . the lake expansion accelerated they saw its coming. the water started coming slowly by slowly, slowly, day by day, day by day. did he to cover dorothy this place? it doesn't, it do not come. why not? once he took tight, kenya's legs are vital to people, wildlife, and economy. but tens of thousands of canyons had been forced to move from the homes. no one knows was sure what caused the water to rise so quickly in a short space of time. scientists think it could be a number of factors including climate change before people hear the maintenance and
12:27 pm
isn't so much what caused this. they want king us government to do more to help them. david co horror shows. he was left of the house he built. he was planning to leave the family home to his children one day, like other families. he still waiting for compensation promised by the government for he's taken a bank loan to start again, but he's only just enough room for his family and a few animals. it's not what is used to. i was traumatized. it affected my life so much. you changed everything. i got even when made out to be bought in there. the pharmacist speaks the water is contaminated because if it's salty, taste and murky color. religious con, grow my chair, any more agricultural lands i become fishing, grounds, welcome income for some young men who couldn't find work, but for many others, the changing landscape means their way of life is gone. they have to adapt. if they hope to survive, had a matessa out to sarah knuckles, king rescue crew and indonesia has fried

12:30 pm
and that's great. like it's great that we can see those stories in spring. but at the same time, we need our money into independent films and we need that kind of narratives are protected. so we get a wider ass spectrum of phones of narrow, of representation on the screen ah, independent films do win more woods, but smaller audiences for hollywood produces, say, the idea that their movies are diving down is nonsense. despite the theatrics festivals like can a still the place for smallest toys with a different pace. charlie angela al jazeera can ah, hello, this is al jazeera and these are the headlines reports and israeli media suggest the military does not plan to investigate the killing.
