i was killed by israeli forces in the occupied west bank. new video is corroborating eye. witness accounts al jazeera has obtained footage showing the last moments before showing was shot by israeli troops. it also shows there were no clashes at the time and at the firing came from the position where is really patrols was stationed oh, my people are seen fleeing to the other side of the street towards the area where a route is really officials originally claimed the shooting came from oh, who lives in amazon? it is ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ha. i lived with alagood dallas years, which i did, i'm a guy. the cell phone video was taken by

a journalist who survived. the attack was heat outside. he was one of those who accompanied showing on assignment that day in jeanine in the occupied west bank. he's gone back to the area and he's retraced those steps. mckesson, the woman took our dog from here, we began to walk towards the location where a colleague sharika was murdered. we continued to walk naturally and quietly. we stood here at this spot, myself and my colleagues will come from that one of them. i know it was you know, did you stand in front of them so the see you the home. i don't know. yes, of course we did. the originally saw us coming from the beginning of history and we stopped right here. we wore helmets and bulletproof press special off and we also made sure to hear to all safety standard. 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 colleagues that they were shooting at us, being journalists, we have to protect herself. i had been a but were you exactly when i was, when i was fired, we were in this spot is really military says it's not opening a criminal investigation into the killing of showing a block lip shooting was shot in the head by israeli forces while cobbling arrayed in jeanine in the occupied west bank, the military says is identified a soldier's rifle which may have killed her, but says it can't be sure unless the palestinians turn over the bullet for analysis . on the day of a funeral, israeli forces storm the procession and beat mourners causing pall bearers to almost drop her coffin, members of the international community of condemned her killing and the calling for an investigation. the police violence against mourners. it charlene's funeral is cited as one of the reasons a member of parliament has quit israel's governing coalition. the resignation of palestinian israeli. he der now,

we've swaby leaves 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 be also said police violence against worshippers and temple mount during ramadan was behind her decision. she said she could not continue to support a coalition that shamefully harnesses her community imminent con, in west jerusalem has more on why those no criminal investigation. the reason for this is that if they had to make an investigation, it would have to be one of a criminal nature. here's the statement, the decision not immediately launch an m p c id investigation unless he is ready military police was made in accordance with a general policy regarding criminal investigations in judy and scenario. that's the israeli name for the occupied westbank. as approved by the supreme court, according to his policy, criminal investigation will not be launched immediately. if a death occurs during an active combat situation, unless there's a credible and immediate suspicion of a criminal offense that was identified during the event. so clearly these really on

the 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 israeli soldier is simply unpalatable. we spoke to the family, they've issued a statement, and this is what they've said. we were expecting this when the writing side. that's why we didn't want them to participate in the investigation. we want to hold what is responsible for these count accountable. we are the u. s. in particular, and 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, i am the family themselves were never expecting an investigation. however, the national community was the americans and particularly vocal saying that these ratings were not only capable of bouncing an independent investigation, but they were urging them to do so. so let's wait. we will hear from the americans

later, but what kind of pressure they'll be able to pull on israel, given the strength of the statement from the israeli army saying we're simply not investigating remains to be saying well, us defense secretary lloyd austin's match. israel's defense minister ban guns correspond jamal l. l asked the pentagon if the killing of american palestinian generals should be now blocked like was raised. i want to talk about the me working breakfast between the secretary of defense guns the readout. didn't mention anything about the killing of an american journalist shooting a bottler. obviously there was a lot of condemnation that's come from us for me because with regards to the killing of to try to list it is highly likely that she was killed using an american weapon. considering the weaponry, 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 is the subject did come up in the breakfast and secretary welcomed israel's intent statement, clear statement of intent to investigate this. he welcome that mandatory said they will not be actually the chemistry thing. they will not investigate. they refuse to a government of israel. it's not for the israeli military, i believe it's in 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. but you don't think that there is a bit of room for concern considering it is israel. that is accused of killing the journalist. and if it was another country, and i'd say that killed an american journalist,

maybe the u. s. wouldn't be so well coming to allowing for that country to investigate itself, let's say what's wrong or if i appreciate the chance, the opportunity here to get me to speculate about investigations that haven't been started it for events that hasn't happened yet. we welcome the fact that there will 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 serves anybody's per 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. ukraine says at least 12 people have been killed by a russian showing the eastern city of several den yeske russian forces of focused on trying to capture mortality in the dom bass region made up of done yet can the hands which moscow claims on behalf of pro russian separatists ukrainian police and don, yes, released this video, showing emergency services,

searching for survivors after an attack. in back mod, i said beg reports from there, they're not searching for survivors anymore. it's the search for the dead. 3 bodies are somewhere underneath this concrete to really what we're told a 2 year old boy was killed in this russian air strike. although all a mutual flavor, why up? i'm going to lim, we've just buried my friend. he was 43 years old. we've just come from the cemetery and to morrow we're bury members of my family are under the sound of constant artillery fire. they continue to work. the shockwave from the nearby artillery and rockets shake the already fragile building. mcgrew from louisville. when it happened, the man covered the boy with his body. the child was in very bad condition, the head was injured. the older guy died. other people who was sitting on a bench had time to get into the basement,

so they survived zachary blood and won't allow them to let you know that this is all. this town of 70000 has seen most of the population leave in the east. the russian military have been gaining ground. no way in voc mode is safe. and many people have become desensitized to the constant sound artillery and shall fire. but unlike other large cities, the emergency services here are really struggling to deal with the destruction and casualties. as a result of this war, another strike on a residential building. in the early hours of the morning, a missile hit directly in front of her ripping through the apartments. the mayor has told residence to evacuate. now they're in a rush to leave. scary and terrible. this woman says those that remain have a choice, evacuate from the town, or hope to survive the russian military onslaught. as that bag i'll jazeera bohaman,

ukraine's president vladimir landscape. describe the situation in eastern ukraine as like being in hell. he says those responsible must be brought to justice or in the phil green, the producer, the armed forces of ukraine continue advancing to liberate the hockey region boss and don bess, the occupiers are trying to exert even more pressure. it's a hell van, and it's not an exaggeration. the brutal and absolutely senseless bombardment of several donetta. there were 12 killed and dozens wounded in just one day, the bombardment and shelling of other cities. this is a deliberate and criminal attempt to kill as many ukrainians as possible. so i had an al jazeera from independence fighter to president of east timor nobel prize. laureate jose ramos horta takes the rains to lead asia's youngest country. i'm looking for alternatives, germany tulsa kata,

a soldier's rifle which may have killed her, but says it cannot be sure unless the palestinians turn over the bullet for analysis. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski says don't boss has become held as russian forces intensify that offensive their villages and cities across the eastern region are being shelled with at least 12 people killed in the city of several dom next. moscow says sanctions on russia will have to be reviewed if it's to heat a u. n. appeal to open access to ukraine's black sea. ukraine is often called the world's bread basket. it produces 12 percent of the planets, wheat, 15 percent of its corn, and half of its sunflower oil. the un says 1700000000 people in more than a 100 countries, have been directly affected by ukraine's inability to export grain. because russian worships are blocking it from being transported by c. b u. s. is accused russia of using food as a weapon of war. it's not only ukrainians were suffering as

a result of the russian government's actions. some 20000000 tons of grain. cit, unused and ukrainian sales. as global food supplies, dwindle, prices skyrocket, causing more around the world. to experience food insecurity. was only his life in washington, dc is joseph club. he's a senior research fellow in the markets, trade and institution division at the international food policy research institute sir, is very good, happy with us, with adult 0. thank you very much indeed for being with us. how much control does russia have over them over the world's food supplies? no. well, i. e, if you good, no rush is a large expert itself and in accounts for about 20 percent of the week it's traded in the world. right now we have, oh, as was mentioned in the story, they blocked out any exports out of the ports through ukraine. a little bit of

grain is movie now. over land i threw in some cases through poll under romania to the ports on the black sea. like in the southern portion to romania. so little bit of we just getting out that way. a little bit grain and, and so far, oil, but for the most part of it is as was stated, trapped inside of ukraine. moscow, as we mentioned before, is basically started to use this as leverage. it's saying that the sanctions and moscow i should have to be reviewed, have to be lifted. probably if he were to allow the grain and going supplies to be released. one can't imagine that russia is going to give up that leverage easily. how do you think this is going to play out in the future? i think, you know, for the time being that the grand strapped inside of ukraine and understand is complicated by the fact that we have the harvest. that is just beginning of week. it was planted last fall. i'm ukraine and that we need to be stored somewhere. so i

expect that that summer grant is going to have to the extent that it can be harvested in understand a lot of that we'd isn't occupied areas to the degree it can be harvested, it will fill up what, what story space there is. and then the rest will be put in temporary storage and that raises the risk of, of spoil it, you know, and other sorts of things. i want to ask you about that because we're not just talking about the immediate impact of drain that can be, as you say, harvested and brought out of ukraine right now. and, and at least in the immediate future, we're also talking about the potential as you refer to the spoilage of grain that is being stored. that is storing up a significant problem about supply in the future, isn't it? well, you know, is these great systems around the world are set up to move a lot of grain before ours and j empty silos, so that the new harvest to be put in those bins and store as it shipped throughout the rest of the year. and right now,

since there's still 20 some odd 1000000 times left in, in, within ukraine and no real easy access out through the other. so a ways, as i said overland is just the cost of shipping. green out by land is about 4 times the cost of shipping it through by rail, down to dust and those ports. so it presents real problems. and again, we have a crock, new crop of wheat coming on. we also have spring plannings and ultimate harvest later this fall of other crops. so it's a problem. i want to ask you briefly about the you mentioned before that that the, the items that russia itself supplies, i find the santa correctly, we know, of course, about natural gas. but it's also big supplier of fertilizer as well. and of course, that works in the, for the food system and so on. if the e u in the u. s. and other foreign governments continue to put pressure, continue, put sanctions on russia. what does that mean for the supplies of natural gas,

which i believe is also intrinsic to the food supply, but also to fertilizer from russia? well, understand that there's various types of fertilizers that are very important you're, you're right, nitrogen based fertilizers. a lot of those are made from, from natural gas, and so the shortest natural gas or the high price, natural gas, is cause nitrogen based fertilizers to skyrocket around the world. but there's a lot of natural gas in the world. so there are other suppliers of nitrogen base fertilizers. however, if you move to the other major fertilizers like phosphates and pot ash, there you have a concentration of supplies. 40 percent of the pot ash treated in the world comes out of bell roost and russia. and they are right now, those supplies are they actually, russia has some export restrictions on those right now. so right now the lot of

countries depend on supplies, a fertilizer from that area, bruce and russia. and that's causing problems and could potentially cause productivity issues down the road. really good to get your thoughts on the so thank you, joseph. flava, we appreciate it. thanks up us president joe biden is making his 1st trip to asia and taking office, heading to south korea and japan during the 5 day trip biden's expected to unveil his official china strategy. but i would say the policy isn't much of a change from that of the obama and trump administrations. john 100 reports president, president joe biden long distracted by global crises, is now turning his attention eastward to asia with a global pandemic in the war. and ukraine still raging. the us president embarks on his 1st trip to the region as president, considerably later in his term than expected. he begins in sol in a show of solidarity with allies working to counter the regional dominance of china

. the biden administration is not very different from the trumpet, administration and policy toward china. the rhetoric may not be as confrontational, but the policies have remained. the threats from china, both military and economic, also remain the same. the us government's viewers like biden's, has been evolving. everson president richard nixon made a visit there in 1970, to bite him who visited china as senator in 2001. and as vice president in 2011 has gone from seeing it as a partner to be liberalized through trade, to a sharp elbow, rival, china has an overall goal, and i don't criticize it for the goal, but they have an overall goal to become the leading country in the world, the wealthiest country in the world, and the most powerful country, the world. as not going to happen on my watch. thank you very much. president trump spoke more fondly, but waged

a bitter trade war against him better. my relationship with president, she is an extraordinary one. he's for china up to the us but other than that we love each other in. so bible will also press to work out the kinks and the global supply chain and work on north korea. the goal, renee, which is in your past and that is the team is here, is ation of it's not going to happen then by traveling to tokyo for a meeting of the quadra lateral security dialogue, australia, india, japan, in the us focused on trade security. he's expected to emphasize that the region remains a top us priority. we're committed to a future where the rules and norms that have made possible so much growth and prosperity and stability and pacific are upheld and strengthen us. a priority. the white house says, despite the war in pandemic that if consume much of his presidency,

john hindered al jazeera the veteran independently, the nobel laureate, jose ramos horses being sworn in as president of east timor is called for national reconciliation and unity to be both of office on his quarter secured, overwhelming support during the elections in march defeating the convert for cisco percentage for jeffery washington. following developments from jakarta, what's he been flagging as his priorities of the presidency? well, rob just said i'm a sorta gave a rather lengthy speech at his inauguration celebration overnight. it is important to note that it is not just his inauguration that to molest a team or marking today, but also 20 years of independence. and so in his speech, he remarked on the progress that his country has made, making a note that in 190909 or 2000, the capital city of dealy was effectively reduced to rubble. and from that,

they have built the nation up to a state where it is now considered, in his words, a peaceful, happy, and imperfect democracy. but a place that can be considered an oasis of peace and solidarity. some of the priorities that he outlined in his speech, including increasing regional ties, specifically with indonesia and strangely, the countries nearest neighbors. he went into specific scenes detailing that he would like to increase regional ties with the closest parts of australia and the closest parts of indonesia with his nation. he also, and he has repeatedly remarked on the importance of gaining ozzy on membership for his country. at this stage is team will remain the only southeast asian country that has not yet been accepted into ozzy. and he also remarks that he would like to increase ties with other countries in asia, including china, particularly in the field, the artificial intelligence, sustainable agriculture and infrastructure. now he has remarked,

of course on the international priorities, but also what he would like to achieve within team will list a itself. he says he wants to focus on unity. he wants to make team will stay a country where all can feel accepted and he made a note to mention specifically people with disabilities and l g b, t i into visuals saying that they true are children of god and that everyone should be feel, should feel welcome in his country. jessica, thank you very much. and the jessica washington talking to us from jakarta, or all the creeds been issued in jordan to restrict the movements of prince hum. so it became the 1st while in the kingdom's history to renounce his title. last month he said jordan's institutions were not in line with his personal convictions. last year he was accused of plotting against his older brother, king abdullah in a letter to jordanians. the king said hum, so we'll stay in his palace to prevent a repeat of his irresponsible actions. cut out his amy ocean, tom and bahama del tani is in germany for talks on energy security. european

countries have committed to phasing out to russian natural gas following russia's war with ukraine. as dominant came reports quarterly gas is seen as an alternative . on a windy day in may hook, seal may seem like a back quarter far from germany's big towns and cities. and yet, this deep sea port is at the center of this country's bit to wean itself off russian fossil fuels. for here, a liquid natural gas terminal is to be built. one of several such installations ready potentially to receive shipments of l. n g from keta and elsewhere i'm and then at the end of the winter, the storage facilities would be empty, but we would then have 2 more. ellen, g terminals so we could fill them immediately again plan. that's the plan to also become independent from russia's blackmail was done. hopefully it will work out. but it day like today makes me confident that it can work. but building new l n. g terminals cannot cover all of germany's energy need,

most of which have been supplied by russia for many years. in march, deputy chancellor robert havoc was in qatar to negotiate a deal for it's l n g. a deal which could only replace some of the russian supply. you would have to substitute roughly 50000000000 cubic meters of metric pipeline gas per year. and the determiners the fs are use that being contracted, or that has been contracted. they would accommodate maybe a 5th of that. there are some aspects of the potential deal for category l, n g, which proving problematic. the government in doha wants it to run for 20 years and is insisting on what's called a destination clause. effectively meaning, germany would not be able to reroute some of it to you partners, which it does currently with russian gas. and it would be tying ministers in berlin

to fossil fuels for another 20 years at a time when they've been aiming to become carbon neutral. everyone knows that russian gas is way cheaper than l. n g, a guy from wherever in the world. so therefore the price issue will definitely come and this is a minus for politicians to tell the public. ok, you need to pay more actually for you for your energy. but then of course the, the dependency on for file plus of the human rights aspect will be a huge burden for 4 minutes. are how big when the emmy or of castle meets government leaders here on friday, that will doubtless be expressions of friendship. but behind the scenes there will be some serious discussion. with a few difficult questions to be answered. dominant cane al jazeera berlin. ah.
