which he does saudi was one of those who accompanied sharina on assignment in jeanine in the occupied westbank that day, he revisited the area and retraced his steps. because the car for my dorm from here, we began to walk towards the location where a colleague sharika was murdered, as we continued to walk naturally and quietly. we stood here at this spot, myself and my colleagues will come from that one. 1 but some them, i know which one did you stand in front of them, so the see you the home. i don't know. yes, of course we did. he originally saw us coming from the beginning of history and we stopped right here. we wore helmets and bulletproof press special at us and we also made sure to be here to all safety standards. my camera was with me and i put it here to record what was happening on the street and was the presence of the occupation forces. after a few seconds, the shooting started out and the 1st bullet hit this building. and i told my
10:04 pm
colleagues that they were shooting at us, being journalist saw that we have to protect herself. i had been a but were you exactly when the 1st was fired? we were in this spots will come up with these really military says it's not opening a criminal investigation into the killing of shooting i work lay because she was in, quote, an active combat situation, unquote. but an operational inquiry into her death will continue. sharina was shot in the head by israeli forces while covering, arrayed in jeanine in the occupied west bank. the military says it's identified as soldiers, rifle which may have killed her. it says it cannot be sure unless the palestinians turn over the bullet for analysis. on the day of her funeral, is there any forces? stormed the procession and beat mourners, causing pull bears was to drop her coffin, members of the international community have condemned her killing and continue to call for a transparent investigation. the palestinian israeli member of israel's parliament has quit the governing coalition. citing the police violence against mourners at
10:05 pm
sharon's funeral as one of her reasons. header are now as robbie as resignation lose prime minister natalie bennett's coalition in a precarious position with only $59.00 of the $120.00 seats in the class. it. so i'll be also said to police violence against worshippers on temple mount during the month of ramadan. was behind her decision, she said in a statement, she cannot continue to support the existence of a coalition that shamefully harasses her community. around con, in western islam, has more on why there's no criminal investigation. the reason for this is that if they had to make an investigation, it would have to be one of the criminal nature is the statement of the decision not to immediately launch an m p c id investigation. as he is ready, military police was made in accordance with the general policy regarding criminal investigations in judea and samaria. that's the israeli name for me. occupied westbank, as approved by the supreme court. according to this policy,
10:06 pm
criminal investigation will not be launched immediately. if a death occurs during an act to combat situation, unless there's a credible and immediate suspicion of a criminal offense that was identified during the event. so clearly these really all me do not think the killing of a journalist who was wearing a vest and a helmet was a criminal event. also in this current political climate in israel, the investigation of any is ready, soldier is simply unpalatable. we spoke to the family, they've issued a statement, and this is what they've said. we are expecting this when he is ready, so that's why we didn't want them to participate in the investigation. we want to hold web is responsible for these count accountable. we urge the u. s. in particular said she is a us citizen and the international community to open just and transparent investigation and to put an end to these killings. so the palestinians and the family themselves were never expecting an investigation. however, these national community was the americans and particularly vocal saying that these
10:07 pm
rates were not only capable of mounting an independent investigation, but they were urging them to do so. so let's wait, we way will hear from the americans later. but what kind of prussia they'll be able to put on israel, given the strength of the statement from the israeli army saying we're simply not investigating remains to be seen. ah russians. defense ministry has reached new footage of what it says are ukrainian soldiers from the besieged as astound steel plant. the city of mario po, in the video, some of the men who appeared to be in a room with bunk beds, speak on camera, about the conditions of being captain, is not known if a detained men were speaking freely. russia says a total of $1730.00 fighters have surrendered since monday. the red cross is working to register them as prisoners of war to ensure the humane treatment under the geneva conventions. ukraine once

10:19 pm
journalist showing about obviously there was a lot of condemnation has come from us for me. because with regards to the killing of the journalist, it is highly likely that she was killed using an american weapon. considering the weapon, years by the israeli military, was this discussed in between the 2 during the meeting. and if indeed, there was some sort of an investigation that established the u. s. weapon was used to kill an american journalist, ruled there be any reprimand or sanctioning from the u. s. with regards to this, what i can tell you the subject did come up in the breakfast and the secretary welcomed a israel's intent statement, clear statement of intent to investigate this. he welcome that hatred recently will not be actually came out today saying they will not to investigate. took the refuse for the government of israel. it's not for the israeli military. i believe it's in
10:20 pm
their ministry of interior and they have stated a clear intent to investigate and the secretary welcome that, that investigation. and obviously we look forward to seeing what the investigation finds out, but i'm not going to get ahead of it or speculate about what the outcomes might be one way or the other, what you don't think. but there is a bit of room for concern considering good is, is role that is accused of killing the journalist. and if it was another country, and i'd say about killed an american journalist, maybe the u. s. won't be so well coming to allowing for that country to investigate itself, let's say was it wrong or? yeah, i appreciate the chance the opportunity here to get me to speculate about investigations that haven't been started for events that haven't happened yet. we welcome the fact that there'll be an investigation we've made clear. we want to see this investigation be thorough and transparent and complete. but i also don't think it sort of serves anybody's purpose to get ahead of it when it's ongoing and it hasn't, hasn't concluded. so let's see what the investigation comes, but comes back and what it says. but it did come up in the conversation. yes,
10:21 pm
ma'am. taylor from out to their english just to follow up on to my question, which is the independent investigation? i think we've already said we, we welcome the fact that the israeli government has indicated a willingness to investigate this. and i'm, i'm not going to get ahead of the process where we are. yes, democratic congressman andre carson is the author of a letter calling for the f. b. i to launch an investigation into shaheen. i work as killing. he joins me now from washington. d. c. d. c. thank you very much indeed for being with us. so talk us through 1st of all the letter. what's the key demand and who are you asking? well 1st i want to send my deepest condolences to the 0 family on the loss of your colleague, friends and family member. and also, you know, as we all continue to mourn the loss of this great journalism, fellow american who was tragically killed while on assignment. you know, we want answers and we need to ensure that these answers are accurate,
10:22 pm
that they are transparent and they are a timely so as soon as you know, we heard the news of this horrible killing. we knew something needed to be done. that's why i'm sending a letter to secretary of state entity blinking along with f. b. i director christopher, re urging them to investigate this act representatives, luc herrera, bill, escrow or co leading this letter with me along with congresswoman receipt to lee and others. we have, we're $55.00 co signers which is pretty huge. and you know, i want to thank them for lending their voice. in this effort the state department called her killing and to media freedom. i couldn't agree more, you know, as the world's leading democracy. we have a responsibility to protect the free, pressed, not just in our own country, but around the world. and you're calling for this investigation, how hope law you, that the administration will mandate the f b i to investigate. and that israel will,
10:23 pm
that would allow for such an investigation. i'm, i'm, i'm, i'm, i hope, i hope this happens. you know, this is a press freedom issue. this is a human rights issue, and it must be a priority for our federal government to see answers and accountability, you know, requesting the u. s. investigation is absolutely the right thing to do for any american journalists killed in the line of duty, apparently by foreign governments soldiers. but it is absolutely critical to make this request. now, after the announcement that there won't be an investigation into this debt by the government officials where she was murdered or punitive measures or sanctions. do you think washington should take against israel light of what is as you say, killing of an american journalist? well, we're looking at several measures right now. but as i said before, the letter has approximately 55 signers already and will close for
10:24 pm
signatures this evening. and had the support of progressive chair, jaya paul, of course, receded to leave. and so many others what we want to do, sir, i was just gonna ask you to think that if it had been another country that had to kill us journalists then stronger measures would have been taken by now. it's difficult to say, but i'm focused on the fact that this american journalist was killed. that's my focus. i'm not concerned about what other countries could have, what it should have done. i'm concerned about the fact that an american journalist was killed and that's what relating to promotes and politicians around the world, often criticized. what they describe is america's unconditional support for israel . is it time? do you think for washington to reevaluate this in a lot of israel's human rights abuses? well, there are many people who are, who are, who are calling on a deeper scrutiny as it relates to support for israel. israel has been a strategic partner in the united states. i think that when we send money, we have to make sure that folks are being held accountable. and you know,
10:25 pm
i think when we have an attack on the 4th, the state on the free press, we have to look more deeply. i think none of us can be above reproach or criticism or critique. and, you know, i think the lack of reverence that was shown for her life in an extreme level of disrespect toward her home country, the united states, as well as journalists across the world. quite frankly, who have risked their lives to bring us this important news. you know, it makes it even more important for our government to take on the task of investigating terrain needs justice. she deserves justice. every american killed abroad is entitled to our protection. every human kill america. they're not the service justice palestinians included. now when that when this happened, the state department spokesman, many of us expect a full investigation and for whoever was held, it was responsible to be held accountable. what sort of pressure do you think is it
10:26 pm
is possible for ministration to put on israel realistically given what we've heard so far in the weeks since it's, since it happened, we shall see. but what is clear is that we want answers. we need to ensure these answers are accurate. and as i said a few minutes ago, we want to make sure that transparency is at play. and that the answers that are given are very timely. and so as this process evolves and develops, we want to make sure that we get results and we can look at options going forward, andre carlson. we really appreciate your time. thank you very much. indeed for joining us. want to hear what an on and thank you. moscow says sanctions on russia will have to be reviewed if it's to had a un appeal to open access to ukraine's black. c a heater should say, sorry. ukraine is often called world bread basket, producing 12 percent of the planet, sweet, 15 percent of its corn, and half of it somehow, oil is estimated at $22000000.00 tons of grain of stuck in silos in ukraine,

10:28 pm
on accessibility to food at the really put the emphasis on the impact it's having not just on ukrainians where a 3rd of the country now need some form of food assistance. but in particular, in the developing world and africa yesterday, in fact, the secretary of state met with some 10 african foreign ministers on the sidelines of these events, highlighting the impact of food insecurity around the world and the growing food insecurity around the world. ukraine, in particular, according to the united nations, is having a huge knock on effect on food prices because of the conflict and the inability to get food out of ukraine. but also because of the rising costs. so for the united nations, which is involved in so many countries worldwide, trying to get food to them, they're able to get less food to people in need because the prices have gone up so
10:29 pm
much. so he went, secretary general during this meeting, also pointed out that it's the distribution. that is really the issue right now that there is enough food in the world and they need to come to some sort of a, an agreement in order to get that food to the people who need it most. and how did russia respond? well, russia blamed sanctions for a lot of the problem that the world is facing right now. the russian ambassadors said that they're sitting on $22000000.00 tons of wheat and russia. but sanctions are making it difficult for them to distribute it around the world. the united states push back against that, anthony blank and said of russia really cared about feeding people. they'd stop bombing ports and they'd stop bombing grain silos potentially me. thank you very much. indeed. former us president george w bush has mistakenly described the invasion of iraq as brutal and unjustified
