the palestinian attorney general says is really forces deliberately targeted veteran al jazeera reports are serene abu ackley with armor piercing bullets with the intent to kill her. and that was who tried to help her. the attorney general has made public their findings into shootings, killing a cram, our khattab says a group of journalists were targeted even after they've identified themselves. he says they've concluded a sniper shot sharing in the head in the occupied west bank on may be 11th. israel has said it won't open a criminal investigation bill above and it was visible that she was a journalist to those. this railey forces really, particularly in an area where all during this together and meet these places are known by the israeli forces and israeli forces were attacking the upper parts of their bodies with the aim of killing. israeli forces also continued to fire after hitting and targeting sharina, which means they want to kill everyone who try to help syrian and rescue sure. read

according to the videos that we have seen. in addition to that, the time of the crime, the place of the crime has never witnessed the moment any clashes with the occupation forces. no students have been thrown at all towards the israeli occupation units, which means the only source of firing was the occupation forces. with the aim to kill when the abraham has more now from ramallah in the occupied west. thank. the attorney general has said that the bullet is off type 5.56 millimeters, which is coming and corresponding to the weapon mini roger 14, which is something that is been used by these really horses when he was also asked about it, trying to investigate whether this but it has been coming from palestinian fire. he said that there are evidence shows that palestinians haven't shot any fire. during that time when shaheen was hit, which gives more evidence that the bullets came from an israeli weapon. the issue

of the bullet seemed to be of an importance here because the attorney general has confirmed that it's not going to be handed over to the israeli fide. and we've been hearing a lot from palestinian officials saying that, you know, it, part of the israelis are going to try to use one narrative here to one north of there. the, there is a big feeling of mistrust based on previous experiences. so they believed that they will not be handing the bullet over to the israeli side because of what they expect is going to be manipulation of the fact that the attorney general has confirmed that they've investigated. they've talked to witnesses, they have facts and evidence, and they hope that this will bring shitty justice. the palestinian ambassador to the united nations has given an emotional address at the security council we had months or is calling for justice on behalf of old palestinians who fallen victim to these really occupation shootings. killing is the story the same

story. she was telling the difference is that this time the world knew the victim. we are not being killed because of what we do. but because of who we are, we are not being killed by mistake. but as but a grand design a me to make sure we all understood. no one is safe so that we all live with fear in our hearts uncertain no. impunity for a journalist, a president, the health worker, a you and stuff, a farmer, a child. it may be a pregnant mother, an elderly professor,

a dual citizen, and minister, an officer, a judge. if you are a palestinian, you are illegitimate. thought it with you as ambassador to the un is demanding full accountability for showings, killing. we strongly condemn her killing, and we call for an immediate oral, transparent and impartial investigation. and upon the include conclusion of an investigation, we expect full accountability for those found responsible. sharina killing is a tragic loss and an affront to press freedom everywhere. compounding this last was the violence at sharon's funeral procession on may 13th and we have directly shared our concern with israel regarding the troubling footage of israeli police intruding into the procession. well, kristen salumi is live from the un headquarters in new york. hi there kristin and

put these statements into context for us. what was the point of this specific meeting? so this was the monthly meeting on the situation in the middle east for the security council. what it refers to as the palestinian question. it is one of the longest items on the security council agenda at the you and it's been on, on the security council of jennifer for longer than many other conflicts here. and this was a chance to update the security council on the latest developments in the region. and clearly the killing of sharina block lay. the al jazeera journalist was one of the most significant developments, as nearly every speaker mentioned it, and called for accountability and investigation. and speakers, however, put her death in the context of these bigger issues that the council has been grappling with when terms of the middle east in the palestinian question,

what the middle east envoy tore venison referred to as a pattern of violence. he talked about a daily clashes, forced evictions, settlement expansion, demolition and seizure of palestinian property. and of course of the death toll which in the last month for palestinians is 10 citizens of the palestinian occupied territories including women and children. israelis had been killed as well and that was condemned as well. but which terean's death makes clear, as the ambassador pointed out, that for palestinians when they are killed, there is no recourse. and so the security council, in a rare moment of unity already condemned the death of serene and called for an impartial investigation. many countries repeated that call today and some one even farther like europeans who called for an independent investigation and also

called for an end to settlement expansion and condemned recent salomon expansions. that were recently announced, kristen threw me their life with the latest from the you and kristen thing, keith ah, lawn forestman officials in the us. so under pressure over there, response to tuesday, school shooting in texas. it's the deadliest in the decade. 19 children and 2 teachers were killed. an elementary school in you've all day break for each of us. as we vigil was held on wednesday night to remember the victims authority say gunman. salvador ramos entered the school without any confrontation, contradicting earlier reports that an officer engaged with him outside the building . he was shot dead and i will later. and despite a community in morning, the national rifle association has ignored calls to council. it's event in texas on friday,

the shooting has once again broke gun control back into the national spotlight. even as members of you've all day, small community struggle to make sense of the tragedy with burnt good baby. all get them love the law that i bet you. well, we can now get the latest from our n, b, c correspondent, wendy woolfolk, who's in, you've all the texas at wendy. i know that you've just been to this m news conference more. what more do we know? a julie, good evening to you, a lot of new facts that we are finding out from investigators. the one that stands out right now is that they confirm that there was no armed police resource officer on that campus. in the beginning may have been telling us that the shooter

originally was confronted by the officer who was armed and they exchanged fire. that ended up not to be the case. the other thing is they still can't account for the hour that when he entered that classroom, barricaded him self behind that locked door. and then that it took an hour for the tactical team to enter the area. and basically take him down. that was important to note the julie is there are many moving parts. there are multiple jurisdictions and agencies involved in this investigation and volved and their response here. and so it's not a matter of incompetence or trying to keep things from us. i think it's a matter of trying to coordinate and figure out exactly what the facts are and you know, being a journalist and in a 24 hour news cycle of the news cycle certainly tends to happen a lot quicker than the facts officially coming out. so i think there is

a little bit of the chicken and the egg here about what is happening. it's only been about 48 hours now. i know those hours are excruciating for the 21 families who lost those, those children and those teachers what law enforcement are trying to do their best to, to find out the facts and let us know. and no matter what julie, unfortunately, no fax, nothing. they tell us is going to bring those 21 people back. the only thing i can begin to do is help those who are left behind. begin this excruciating healing process on that no wednesday. what's your sense of how the community is coping? especially with these developments as they they keep coming in i think that these developments are not going to sit well. this is a tragic situation and they're, there is no right answer. that they're absolutely not. like i said,

you can't bring these lives back. let me show you though, julie, the front page of the valley leader news this this morning. it's a black rectangle. no words, no pictures. only the date may 24th, 2020 to. that's the date. 2 days ago where these 21 innocent people lost their lives and what the community really needs right now is there's a lot of raw emotion. the shock is now turning into anger and grief. and they really want to have time to, to focus on the families. you've got $21.00 families who are now planning funerals, and they want to be able to say goodbye appropriately. and these families are telling us what they don't want is for these stories to turn into political jargon . you know, they, they certainly want answers. they certainly want things done. everyone wants things to be different. unfortunately,

you can't change what's already happened. you can only learn from what we know now and i'm sure in the days and weeks ahead, we're going to learn even more. you can't bring those 21 family members back if it's tragic as a parent myself. each story, each face, you know, as a person and a family behind them, and they will be greatly missed now. forgotten when they move for joining us there with the latest from you've all the in texas, wendy, thank you. still ahead on al jazeera anger over the state of maternity care and cynical as 11 newborn babies die in a hospital. far ukraine admits that russia has the upper hand in the hands with 90 percent of the region under its control.
