6:02 pm
. b a finals for the 1st time since 2019. they beat the dallas mavericks in game 5 to lift the western conference trophy for the 6th time in the last 8 years. ah, a group of lawyers has announced it will take the case of the killing of al jazeera journals, schuman, i was ugly to the international criminal court, representing a palestinian journalists who say they were systematically targeted by israel. serene was shot in the head by israeli forces while on assignment in the occupied west bank on may. the 11th international center of justice for palestinians said sharon's family gave permission for its legal action. jennifer robinson is one of the bars that she says palestinian journalists are still in danger of being attacked by israeli forces as we warned in our icey se complaint back in april. the attacks on palestinian journalist by the israeli defense force have been widespread
6:03 pm
and systematic, and the threat of it ongoing attacks against journalists is clear. sadly showing up who are close. murder is a clear demonstration of the ongoing threat posed journalists and palestinian journalist reporting in the occupied territories and an urgent need to address impunity for these attacks. while 0 media network has also decided to refer the killing overseeing arbitrary to the international criminal court, the network says it's put together a team of international legal experts. al jazeera has decided to take should he, in the case to i, c. c, to hold her kilo accountable and bring justice to shitty. in addition, al jazeera is exploring all legal, was a bill was civilities. and is it her mind to bring justice to shooting? and we will come every initiative to follow up on this guy. when the barbara
6:04 pm
was at the press conference in london, the key message was that there is no shortage of evidence that is ready forces have targeted palestinian journalists carrying out their job and clearly marked as civilians in press jackets who have been either killed or maimed by israeli armed forces not just him in recent times, going back to 2018 and the guns border protests in which 2 of the cases in which the initial complaint, the i c. c. a centering on. but going right back many, many years there are, there are many different journalists bodies around the world who have different figures, depending on when you start. but it runs into the doesn't since the year 2000, that's journalists who have been killed in the occupied palestinian territory. most
6:05 pm
of them were palestinian generalists. all of them were civilians, clearly marked doing their job. and in the eyes of those journalists targeted for doing so. because as we've heard, israel does not recognize the international federation of journalists press card in effect de legitimizing palestinian journalists. let's cross now to rob matheson, who's at the damascus gate in occupied east jerusalem and, and robert palestine would hope to see some tangible results from any future investigation. they would hope so, but i think it's the best way of describing it is that they are hopeful but not really confident that there is good reasons for that. as nadine was just explaining this, these cases that are coming before they are hopefully being put forward towards the international criminal court, the by the legal team are just the tip of the iceberg. there have been so many
6:06 pm
cases of killings and injury journalists being injured, particularly those who been wearing the the, the blue press vest clearly marked with press. and on many occasions there have been attempts to bring some sort of legal proceeding in order to get hold. somebody accountable, but on all those occasions there has never been a reported success. so yes, i think job palestinians i think are, are very optimistic to an extent because of the publicity that was given to the killing of city ob lockley and the, the global reaction to that. they hope that that is going to bring attention to this problem. but they are not that optimistic about a very eventually being and the end result to all of this later. just let me briefly tell you about the, the investigation side of this that's going on here. with regard to showrooms killing, the palestinian authority is carried out its own investigation and it says that it
6:07 pm
has clearly concluded that the bullet that killed sharon was deliberately fogged by it is rarely soldier. now it has that bullets it says, but it's not prepared to hand it over to israeli investigators. for the simple reason it says that they don't trust is really investigators to be transparent. now as far as the israeli military are concerned, they are holding their own internal investigation. but whether or not the re also that are going to be made public unless they are, when we simply don't know the israeli military police say that they are not going to hold a criminal investigation. because as far as they're concerned, there was no criminal act. so as i said, palestinians are very skeptical about the legal, any legal process when it comes to cases like this. what is interesting is that palestinians are going to be watching very closely what the i, c c does about these particular cases. the i c c says that it has acknowledged it has of are 40 within palestine and within israel,
6:08 pm
palestinian are going to be watching to see whether or not the i c c actually takes these cases on board and if so, what kind of conclusion? the eventually of reach, the suggestion being in bed. if the i c c doesn't step up. so the mock as far as the palestinians are concerned, then the palestinians say the icy seat of last any in all credibility a might have had in this region. okay, robert matheson live 1st in occupied east jerusalem. thank you. or so sons, i here is a human rights lawyer based in haifa and explains why this legal action against israel is so important. it is true that we're talking about widespread and systematic types, deliberate attacks, not only on journalist, but also on the wider palestinian civilian population in the west bank and gaza. which, you know, a, basically a grant,
6:09 pm
a war crime based on rom start to but was not to mention is that there's also systematic lack of accountability. i'm systematic. impunity that has been provided by the israeli investigation system, but not also that, but also even by that is we're a supreme court. and this is very important because when the legal team gets to the i, c, c and one curry con. as the prosecutor wants to open one of the 1st questions that, that he or the i c c court will examine is what has is well done in order to investigate what are the kinds of investigation they did, what are the results and how that is where a supreme court deal with and throughout the years we see not only got the investigation system that have that, that were opened. if since that and past lead 2009, for example,
6:10 pm
or in meet 12 in guys, a 2014 in guys, a 2018 and you just name it, including even to the case of shooting of optic is that investigations are being closed, open to more head on the news are including, oh, dude, by some fear, by others. good. who's the favorite to become president in columbia? have the latest on fighting in democratic republic of congo as tens of thousands of forced from their homes. and it okay. also, this book a spot in the conference final more in that later ah, police in texas town of evolve. they are facing questions about their response to cheese days, school shooting. oh,
6:11 pm
$19.00 children and 2 teachers were killed that rob elementary school and an 18 year old open fire. 40 say gunman at salvador ramos entered the buildings out. any confrontation, early report suggested he's engaged with an officer outside. the building authorities say the gunman barricaded himself inside a classroom and was in the building for more than an hour before police killed him or some victims family say offices should have intervened sooner. i honestly believe it could have been a little more. gra, been preventive compared to knows that i didn't feel prepared that army surely that good for other horizon. well, just 3 days after that mass shooting, the countries influential gun that lobby is holding its conventions of protest is gathering outside the national rifle association and isn't in houston,
6:12 pm
texas. now these are live pictures us about 4 hours drive away from involving an array. faced many queens not to go ahead with its convention. and we have correspondence covering this story. kimberly how cut is in washington d. c. she'll have more on the bipartisan pushed to address gun safety. also be life involved. but 1st, let's go to john hanjin, who's in houston, texas, where the national rifle association is holding its annual convention, weller, john, that conventions going ahead despite those who may feel it really shouldn't that's right, it's going ahead for the 1st time after a 2 year pause and the panoramic and it's doing that despite the fact that even some of the participants have called for it to be called off a country singer named larry gatlin said he would schedule the thing, but he's not going to come because the idea of having in his words a big party in the same state where 21 people were massacred just 3 days ago.
6:13 pm
seemed like a bad idea. he called for the a to call off this convention, but it is going forward. greg abbott, the governor of this state is not going to appear. he'll appear by the video, but instead he'll be at a news conference in you valley where that shooting took place. his lieutenant governor dan patrick also will not be making an appearance in the singer. don mclean, who wrote the song american pie won't be appearing as well. however, there will be a number of high profile people here and thousands of other people attending this conference, which is happening again for the 1st time in 3 years and from the podium. we can expect to hear a lot of solutions to problems like this. you can bet none of them will involve restricting guns, the kinds of things we've heard from gun supporters or that there needs to be more mental health screening and that teachers need to be armed fairly novel solutions in the only major western country where school shootings happen on a regular basis, and this is the kind of an apologetic stance we've come to expect from the national
6:14 pm
rifle association in 1999. after the shootings in littleton, colorado, at his school there columbine. the interview held its conference in denver. not far away, so 20 years 23 years and a real similarity with what's going on today. and john, we understand that the former president, donald trump, is likely to speak there as well. that's right, that explains that heavy security. you may see around me. there are police on horseback, there are barricades all down the street in the irony here is that at this silly ration of gun rights, no one's allowed to have a gun today. that's because the secret service is taking over security here so they will be stopping people from entering that building with guns. whereas normally you would see displays of weaponry inside. and the exhibition all you would see people carrying openly out in the street that is not allowed to day on this 1st day of
6:15 pm
this 3 day convention and from president trump. we can also expect to hear an unapologetic support for gun rights in the past. he's hedges back a little bit. he suggested at one time that there should be a limit on bunk stocks. those are devices that will turn a regular gun into something more like a machine gun. he backed off of that and since then he's been a pretty proud unapologetic supporter of gun rights and in just a few hours this afternoon. i think we can expect him to expound on that thing. okay, for now, john engine at that convention in houston, texas. thank you for staying with this let sat now speak to n b c. news report at wendy woolfolk in evolve, texas and wendy community still very much in well shock and grief. it is, it carry good afternoon to you, this shifting timeline and the emerging details from the texas department of public
6:16 pm
safety though are making a pain and suffering in this small south texas town. even worse. one of the heartbreak and broken mothers who lost her 10 year old daughter told us she couldn't imagine why a brand new skill school building would have been left unlocked. and that is how the shooter made access to the school and other parents you ran frantically to the building when they heard that there was an active shooter on campus. they can't understand why it took an hour for a tactical team to be cold in. and then ultimately shoot and kill the suspect when there were so many other responding officers on this campus and, and ready to go in. what is important, though, to note carry on the other side is the situation was very fluid here. if they had to secure the perimeter, so no one else gets hurt and
6:17 pm
a lot of those officers were going in and breaking windows so that other students and teachers could get out of their respective classrooms. while that gunman was hold up inside, there is another, another press conference scheduled with either the texas department of public safety basically in the next hour here local time. we're hoping for some more clarification. yesterday's press conference, got a little contentious and it absolutely made people have more questions despite all of their answers. so we are crossing our fingers that we get a little bit more clarification. the sad note here is this community is embarking on the 1st of 21 funerals. think about that number 21 next week. they are bearing 19 children and 2 aerobic teachers. this community has a whole and its heart that will forever be open. that's the latest here. live in the valley, texas. i'm wendy. will folks back to you, wendy?
6:18 pm
thanks very much indeed for that update. i. whitehouse correspondence. kimberly how could join just now and kimberly are the signs of any kind of legislative movement on this. there are some signs and this is a hopeful sign to many of the united states who have felt that past tragedies have really resulted in very little change. and so when this tragedy in texas occurred, there was a lot of shrugging your shoulders and fear that this was going to be similar to many other past tragedies. in other words, that nothing was going to prevent the next one. but what we're seeing are some hopeful signs in the u. s. senate that a handful of republicans that previously had blocked to efforts in the house of representatives to get some gun control legislation through that could prevent similar types of tragedies the, this time they're actually talking. it's
6:19 pm
a bipartisan group of both democrats and republicans. it consists of about 10 members. and why is this important? well, in a 100 member senate where basically you've got a 5050 split of 50 democrats, 50 republicans, and you need 60 to pass legislation. you're going to need at least 10 republicans to get on board with democrats in order to push this legislation through. and that's been the big obstacle in the past. now some republicans are entertaining ideas such as potentially red flag laws that would keep guns out of the hands of the mentally ill or those that could harm others. and shouldn't have a gun. potentially. also some expanded background checks even more funding for school security. and there is some discussion about reviving something that had been in place in the ninety's worked very well, was allowed to phase out unless the assault weapons ban attempt to revive it in 2013 that failed. and now there's some discussion that maybe there this could be
6:20 pm
revived. so this is all looking promising for those that are hopeful to try and prevent these types of tragedies. we're even hearing there might be a vote as early as june, but again, this is just from the discussion phase. so long way to go. kimberly, how can live at the white house for us there? thank you. mexico's foreign minister says gun companies must also be held accountable for the texas school shooting mexican government launch legal action last year against us weapons manufacturers accusing them or being responsible for the flood of illegal guns into the country. i mean, if use them, if there is placement negligence on the part of this industry and we are not going to give up, we are going to persist for a young person to be sold. an assault weapon at the age of 18, leads to this kind of tragedy. the killing of an unarmed black man by police has led to outrage across brazil. a video of the incident went viral on social media. a
6:21 pm
warning now you may find the following images in victoria getting these report disturbing that it's still got a thing to police officers pin down jenny valdez to hey, so santos, a black man. they say with resisting arrest. they then trap him inside the smoked fil trunk. of their police car, a real look at the man there. oh my god, that killing him inside the car says one witness. video of the incident went viral on social media. her tests have been held in his home town of m bow, but in ne, in brazil, and shock and outrage expressed across the country for years. human rights activists of accused police in brazil, of discrimination, brutality and excessive fools. on tuesday, the day before santos died, thousands of people was shot dead during a police raid on a criminal gang in rio de janeiro. yes. oh gosh assumable left of update. yes, another massacre and if a valid truly shocking,
6:22 pm
we cannot allow it to be normal that the state enters of her valor and lees with 20 or more dead relatives of santos say he was unarmed and suffering from heart problems and skits, of freeney the federal highway police have opened an investigation into his death in a statement. they said santos was actively resisting the officers who pulled him over . they immobilized him then used instruments of less offensive potential to contain him. santos was taken to hospital. doctors say he was dead when he arrived at the emergency room. the officers involved have been suspended, but many in brazil fear this may be another example of institutional brutality and racism within the police. victoria gate and be al jazeera or the latest to on this were joined by 1 o'clock innocuous in rio de janeiro. so that is your thoughts. his response thus far, lock you to satisfy it to given the number of previous cirrus instance.
6:23 pm
well our know, in this case particular case, it's very obvious by a, i mean the footage just shows that it was a very brutal our reaction and necessary and cruel. he was stopped to jenny about the was stopped because he was not wearing a helmet while driving a motorcycle. so he wasn't a threat to where he was. he was tied, he was thrown in the trunk. the police officers that were involved in the kids admitted that they threw him in the trunk and used pepper gas and tear gas, which just makes no sense at all. so this case is being investigated, but it's a pretty much, ah, obvious case of, of police brutality. whereas the shootings that happen all we are quite frequently here in brazil. ah, those happen because there is a lack of government presence in the poor neighborhoods. so drug gangs have taken
6:24 pm
over and also a former policeman who act as a mob of gangsters because they charge people for security. they like here in rio de janeiro. there are, there are occupying like 60 percent of the territory and, but that does not justify in any way the police going into these places and shooting, having these shoot out because many innocent have died last year, 6000 brazilians were killed by police by the police whereas 183 police officers were killed are during these are shoot outs. ok, thank you. want to clean our kids at large 1st in rio de janeiro in let's get some more on this now. loaders here, dora is a poet, psycho analyst, academic and black rights activists in brasilia, the brazilian capital. and she joins us from there. thanks for being with us here on the program, in your opinion, how widespread is police violence there?
6:25 pm
oh oh, well, how wide spread do you think this is? i think how wide i think all over the counter in her we are having a great and important her reaction against this cruelty in this survivor. he has a really and it's a kind of for extreme violence that, that come upon us. because i think it's 1st to you, we're getting very used to be to, to see a policy or a higher thing or black people, mostly young people on not only in the lands on very 50, but also believe the center of the child that kind of frequent you mediation by almost all times answering what are the,
6:26 pm
are water p a for it center as if we went a allowed to be everywhere, as in the city, brazilian city and today with violence. i think it's a kind of showing us how far they can go without being punished, officially in legally punished for their crimes. because this is not a lot of a loyal it. hello. hello. is this kind of a level how to say without long as if we were account without laws to protect our human rights, that is not protection of black people rights in review at all. and at this moment, i know that the home is someone does not the now does it 2 months from owner that has been in brazil recently has appointed se the loss of the
6:27 pm
level of violence by police against black people. ok, let me move on to that. give me for interrupting. let me just ask you, to what extent would you say that minorities seem to be targeted and, and why is that? ah, this is a race. it's a real reason above all, which comes from a long way from now, from slavery to now i think there are 346 years of exclusion of blood neutral from this side into our find all this time. or we're having all right, respected not to want to can see now is the wide spread cautiousness off need of been together and frightened together against the girl was off is all full wireless in brazil, originators or g
6:28 pm
b. i actions have been, are being taken or are taken now against these and asking for justice of course. and i think the court least coalition black coalition for right on that is real. but all over the country we have a minute then say some of the like movement in brazil, it can really season into, you know, giving form to us to help from international organizations that can help to us to defend our rights in brazil. because i don't think we can anymore count on brazilian state to protect our i. okay, we have to leave it there. load as tier door. we do very much appreciate your time . thank you very much for attention. we're still ahead on al jazeera
