why across much of west africa, right through liberia to sierra lee, i'm showers now pushing back into that eastern side of south africa with a possibility of flooding. but possibly natal ah, a deadly hope that was eliminated from most of australia decades ago is killing young women in the indigenous community. 11 east investigate on al jazeera ah the u. s. and south korean presidents discuss how to contain north korea's nuclear threaten at a time when there's little hope of diplomacy. ah,

hello, i'm adrian setting up. this is al jazeera, alive from doha, also coming up. a teenage boys shot dead during the latest is where he waited jeanine in the occupied westbank. australia's leaders awaits the verdict out for an election that a pity, imposed suggestible and a decade of conservative government street and her pin that hasn't been hit by gunfire or tank shells or mortar. right. and we report from here, pin one of many ukrainian cities and towns struggling to rebuild off to wash multi patient. ah, president biden says, the u. s. will further deepen security ties with south korea saying it's necessary for regional peace. he's in, sol, for talks with south korea's president. you and so cool. a big focus is north korea, which has been testing more ballistic missiles and the u. s. has warned that may

soon be another nuclear weapons test. it's brightness 1st trip to asia. since becoming president, while they're expected to speak to the media shortly, we'll dip into that live as what it happens. but in the meantime, let's speak to al jazeera florence louis who's in. so tell us more about what the true leaders are expected to have discussed today. while this visit really is an opportunity for you as president biden, to build closer ties with existing allies in the region, but also to rebuild ties in the region. now in his south korean counterpart, newly elected president units of yours, he has someone who's already stated that he wants to align south korean foreign policy, much more closely with that of the u. s. so strengthening this alliance isn't going to be very difficult, and they are both on the same page when it comes to deterring north korean aggression. so this is a much more conservative government compact to his predecessors. so they are both

on the same page, although they're both also indicated that they are willing to restart talks with north korea. but exactly how they're going to do that. those details have not been made available to us. now the other unspoken thing about the u. s. trip here is that while it's is not explicit, but one key theme is really countering china's dominance in the indo pacific region . and we've seen how china has really risen not just in terms of treyvan, also militarily. and it has a very strong presence in the region. so one key thing will be countering that. and we expect the to, to also discuss issues of trade and technology to counter china's dominance in these areas. so which is more important for the 2 leaders here? china's dominance in the region or north korea well the both very important, but north korea is also an urgent issue, especially after kim jong, who lifted a self imposed moratorium and he tested a oh,

he launched an intercontinental ballistic missile back in march. now there are also reports that he could be getting ready to conduct a 7th nuclear test. so that adds a certain sense of urgency to the north korean issue. not only that, there is also another issue that north korean on faces, which is a severe outbreak of coven 19. and this is made was by the fact that it's population is unvaccinated. it doesn't have a, an adequate health care system. it lacks basic supplies medicine equipment. it doesn't even have enough test kits. so this and they've refused aid from the u. s. from south korea and also from the u. n. so what this potentially could mean is possibly a diplomatic opening to restart talks to restart. diplomacy with north korea, but it also presents challenges because it could mean a humanitarian crisis on the doorstep of south korea. and it could also be potentially a possibly perhaps an emergence of

a more deadly outbreak of the deadly variant of the current virus. so that is also a very pressing issue that these 2 leaders will have to talk about or at florence for the moment, but he thinks did for us louis. and so, as i said, we're waiting for the 2 leaders to give a press briefing, which is to, to get underway shortly as what it does. we will dip into it here on al jazeera. i'm to give you a flavor of what's going on. right. let's rubel a 17 year old palestinian boy has been killed by israeli forces in the occupied west bank. another teenager was seriously injured during the raid on a refugee camp and jeanine understood. he infections of cold for a general strike to mourn. i'm just out fire. what it is where al jazeera journalist should be in a black label shot and killed channel continues to demand a rapid, independent, and transparent investigation. sharon was shot at the head by israeli forces while she was on assignment. on the day of her funeral israeli forces stormed the procession and started to beat mourners, causing pall bearers to almost drop her casket. that didn't stop thousands of

palestinians marching through occupied east jerusalem to take part in her funeral and burial. members of the international community have condemned her killing and continue to call for an investigation. a barclay was without a 0 for 25 years covering the story of the israeli occupation. she was known as the voice of palestine. while amnesty international secretary general has condemned israel's decision not to investigate the modem in a tweet act escalade said it's an additional violation of should beans, right? to life at a clear violation of israel's obligation under international law. one amongst many, she goes on to say, this is what repression and domination looked like. some lives simply don't matter . the u. s. government is meanwhile repeating its demand for a full investigation. al jazeera, heidi joe castro, reports down from washington. this was an audio breathing given by the state department spokesman ned price in which he was asked to react to the israeli

military's decision not to open a criminal investigation into sharina killing. he didn't really react where he did instead was reiterate the u. s. position at that the calls for an independent, thorough and transparent investigation that he said must include accountability. now, who is the investigating party all these details? again, those were a questions that remained unanswered. but indeed, since the killing of sri now going on 9 days, there has been wide spread international condemnation and calls for a thorough and independent investigation all than 50 u. s. politicians want the f. b. i to investigate the shooting of shooting among the republican congressman andre carson, who treated the killing of al jazeera reporter and fellow american sharina. barclay was not only a tragedy. it was on a front to press freedom until all americans. he had it,

we need answers and accountability from the israeli. government voting is ending in the next few hours at australia, where opinion polls suggest that the opposition labor party will end almost a decade of conservative government prominence. the scott morrison was hoping to defy expectations as he did at the last election 3 years ago, sent a left labor leader and the albany is urged. australia is to give his party a chance to address climate change in action. and the soaring cost of living, sarah clark is in sydney, explains the main issues for voters in the election. the opposition with the labor party didn't relate so low the big policies into life in the campaign on both sides . a really might have a personality driven campaign, the government's being the coalition. it's argued that and easy the labor leader. he that they framed him as being weak and having no credentials, certainly on the economic side of things. and of course, labor has been running on the bullying allegations and the running on the

popularity or lack of popularity for scott morrison. the key issues that we've seen climate change that was a national survey. the largest national vote survey indicated that one 3rd of people here in australia believe the climate change was the most important election issue or other issues. we've got his national security. we've gotten the solomon islands and certainly put national security and regional security. essential to the agenda and we've got to the cost of living and, and i'd care, i should say, but it's difficult to get a full term for prime minister that's looking at the political history. we saw john how it attempt that and he filed but we could see even if we get a few independence and i was securing some of these states. it could change the landscape of the politics in australia. and we also could see a hung parliament if we in saturday, after all the ballots and boats have been cast. if not, assad has a clear majority. they will have to turn to the minor parties and those independence to try and form an agreement to full government.
