a key evidence of the case. palestinian officials have refused to hand it over to the israeli authorities. the palestinian authority won't even release the picture of the bullet saying israel will try to use it to manipulate tact. that mistrust is why the palestinian authority has refused a joint investigation with israel saying it can't trust israel to investigate itself. these re narrative changed several times since shooting was shot. these really are mistress that it can't determine if she was killed by palestinians or by israeli forces. the elders either media network has formed the legal team to refer sharon's file to the international criminal court. i. c. c. earlier this week, the palestinian foreign ministry submitted the file of shooting killing to the high tribunal, hoping the icy prosecutor would investigate the case. so we will continue to resort to all international forums. we will not abandon a single right of the palestinian people. we will present all the document to the

international court, including this significant report and we have already referred several documents to the international criminal court. the palestinian investigation report is the latest addition to witnesses accounts and several investigations confirming that should in was deliberately targeted. it's seen here as more prove as more evidence that if and when the ice, as he decides to investigate this case, that they will have more witnesses, they will have more findings. but the palestinians here are hoping that with international pressure, with the media attention to this case, that the eyes to see will indeed investigate should ins, killing as a war crime. many here say that shooting is not the 1st victim of these really occupation and fear, she won't be the last. they won't accountability, but fear. it's a far fetched expectation. neither ibrahim al jazeera, the occupied westbank that sir,

bring in rob matheson novels live in occupied east jerusalem at damascus gauge. rob, in a few hours, will be hearing from lawyers working on a case they're taking to the international criminal court over the systematic targeting of palestinian journalists. what more can you tell us about their case? while this was the prosecution that had been requested by the palestinian journalists syndicate to the international federation of journalists and the international center of justice for palestinians. they had asked lawyers to submit to the i. c. c. the an investigation into the target at killing and maiming of journalists and destruction, of the main infrastructure in palestine out at the center of that original case were for palestinian journalists. mama, double hussein jasa moore, tara smith of mana, and at middle as they are, they, it is sad, were killed or maimed by israeli forces during occupations during our actions that were held in palace in palestine and also in parts of israel. now, obviously,

palestinians, particularly we will be very anxious to see what if any progress is being made by the i c. c, in terms of bringing in that case forward and actually seeing if there will be an investigation. and obviously, as far as on the stadium, journalists are concerned, some ultimate resolution to that would be interesting to see what the icpc is gonna come up with. but as nato was referring to in her report added to those names will be a shooting ob laughlin who course was, was killed in and he may doing an israeli rate in the town of saline. those investigations between the palestinian authority with the palestinian authority and separately by the israeli military ongoing. but the case is being brought on behalf in this case or by all jessia who is determined to get some sort of resolution, some sort of encouragement v i c. c, i should say, to investigate sharina case and added to those full names. they're also going to bring in the,

the dining of the tower in which all diseases offices were based during may last year when there was fighting between hamas in garza and is really forces that the office was destroyed by an israeli missile. the interesting thing is the palestinians here regard hello estonian journalist. many of them very close to their hearts. and sharon was a key part of that many palestinians had grown up watching sharina reports on television and they felt that they had lost somebody very significant. when sharon was killed, so we'll look to see what the icpc is gonna be saying out this press conference, what stage their rock to and from that point of view will then be able to establish where this case is going to go wrong. thank you for that drop madison lie for say in occupied east jerusalem. and they were emotional scenes at the un security council meeting in new york. it's 1st since the killing of sherry now blackly christian salome has more. the security council held its monthly meeting on the situation in the middle east and clearly the most significant development in that

time has been the killing of sharina lockley as nearly every speaker mentioned her death and called for an investigation into exactly what happened. but many speakers, including the humans, middle east envoy tour venice land, put her death in the context of what palestinians go through on a daily basis. what venice long called a familiar pattern of daily violence that includes armed clashing settlement expansion, evictions and demolitions. 10 palestinians have been killed since the last meeting of the security council, including a woman and a child and for israelis were also killed during that time which was also condemned by many speakers. but what sharina death makes clear as the palestinian ambassador rod montessori pointed out is the lack of recourse for palestinians when journalists aid workers and children are killed without repercussions. shootings,

killing is the story. the same story. she was telling. the difference is that this time the world knew with a big 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 make to make sure we all understand. no one is safe so that we all live with fear in our hearts uncertain. and a rare moment of unity on this issue, the security council did already call for an impartial, transparent investigation. many repeated that call during this meeting, including the united states who also demanded accountability and avenues police in

moscow called for renew dialogue with pyongyang. we will not allow this vote to be set back, however, we will not stay silent. we will not ignore these threats just as we will not ignore the horrific human rights violations and abuses happening in the dpr k, including the abduction issue. greg scholar tail is the executive director of the committee for human. weiss in north korea is as china and russia's decision to veto came as no surprise china and russia have been protectors of the dpr k at the united nations for a long time. remember the un commission of inquiry report on the human rights situation, the dpr k, a letter appended to that report, warned chinese authorities that by forcibly repaid creating north korean refugees

there are aiding and abetting a regime, committing crimes against humanity. why now, why breaking ranks on political security military issues, north korea's nuclear and miss hall threats? well, there are 2 p 5 members permanent members of the un security council that are committing crimes. russia initiated a war of aggression against ukraine un member states. 3 months ago, russia is committing a war crime scene. ukraine and china is committing genocide at the weaker concentration camps. so that the un security council is in a state of paralysis. and arrays, james, such as the regime of the dpr k, this committing prompts against humanity and threatening regional and global security with its nuclear and missiles program is getting away from all of these

provocations. and the u. s. a doesn't want a new cold war with china, but warned that beijing is a threat to the international order. secretary said on to the blinking says that challenge will test american diplomacy like never before. she returns the reports. this was a speech that secretary of state lincoln had been scheduled to give before the u. s . president trip to asia as a cotton raiser, and it had to be postponed because he contracted cove. it in the interim confusion was sewn by joe biden, when he gave this answer during his tour. are you willing to get involved militarily to defend taiwan if it comes to that? yes. so in part, the secretary of state's task now was to explain whether us policy towards taiwan had shifted. our policy is not changed. we do not support taiwan independence and we expect prostrate differences to be resolved by peaceful means. i'm going can read out the portion of us law of encapsulates washington's position of so called strategic ambiguity to maintain our capacity to resist any resort to force or other

forms. of course, that would jeopardize our security or the social or economic system of taiwan. the problem is, joe biden wasn't ambiguous at all, and this isn't the 1st time he's spoken at all with official us policy. so the question does remain, how's policy changed quietly behind the scenes? or is this just a matter of a president giving his personal views off the cuff, the rest of lincoln speech presented a stock geopolitical framework of china versus the international order blinking insisted the u. s. does not want a new cold war of opposing regional blocks. yet, at the same time, he talented the new alliances, the u. s. was making an opposition to china. this is not about a forcing countries to choose. it's about giving them a choice. the speech is likely to be viewed skeptically. in beijing, the speech will be seen in beijing, us, hypocritical,

and be ruling that the fight and ministration is picking a cold war mentality to deal with a problem in spite of entity, blink, and saying exactly the opposite. china is clearly crept to the international order as governed by the rules set by the united states and it's western allies, but it's not yet clear. if none of 9 countries feel this geo political change is necessarily a bad thing. she ever time see al jazeera washington. let's get the view from bay jane. katrina you is there for a so katrina us says it's china against the international order. what's the reaction from aging with aging has been very angry at these committees hit back at blink. and speech saying that it does demonstrate a cold war or 0 or some mentality. and while washington says it's not trying to contain china, it's actions and it's words prove otherwise. and. and one, when been china's foreign ministry spokesperson on friday,

said that these comments are smearing china. that he imply that they are hypocritical, that the u. s. wal, portraying china as a rule breaker as a threat to regional and global world order. the u. s. itself doesn't necessarily follow all international laws and what the u. s. really wants is not the china to abide by international norms, but to follow us norms and to follow a u. s. lead order. now, bating has also mentioned the importance of taiwan, saying that this is really the cornerstone of the china u. s. relationship. and he said that while washington says on paper, it does abide by the one china policy. he again accused washington of double speak saying its words and actions simply demonstrates otherwise. now this speech has taken place at a time when china's foreign minister, one years currently on a marathon regional tool of the south pacific, which is quickly shaping up to be in use fear of rivalry between washington in beijing. a one he is due to visitors,
