ah, this is are going to be my blog on that was to a lifelong search for answers and closer findings. salon witness on al jazeera teaching. now you can watch out to say we're english streaming live on. i teach you channels plus thousands of off programs, award winning documentaries and debt news reports subscribe to you choose dot com forward slash al jazeera english. ah . of course it was not the right decisions around the city. police and taxes admit they got it wrong by waiting more than an hour before

intervening and choose day school shooting. ah mccloud, this is al jazeera live from de also come me up. it's time for the i see say, to take action to send a clear message to these riley government, and to all governments, demanding justice for journalists life al jazeera media network seeks international criminal court action. i with the killing of sri, another outlet. iran sees, is it to greek oil tankers in the gulf, weeks after athens stopped vessel carrying rainy in oil, cloth o anger in brazil, after the please, the film suffocating a black man with tear gas. ah, so please in texas have acknowledged major failures in responding to the school

shooting and new validity. security officials have been criticized for waiting more than an hour in the school hallway before confronting the 18 year old killer. but about 4 hours drive away america's biggest gun lobby has gone ahead with a major convention, drawing criticism over the timing of the event. john 100 has this report now from houston, or early. it was a stunning revelation. it might have caused children their lives. course not a right to say the wrong as the texas director of public safety explained that while a gunman was shooting children inside, rob elementary school, police waited outside for 78 minutes, much longer than authorities had said earlier, saying police thought the gunman was barricaded alone and no longer a threat to children. he choked up. forget how to do it without the parent of children. governor greg abbott and local residents reacted with fury. i was misled. i am livid about what happened like this isn't. why on the back of the car

to protect and serve, protect who? why did, why did they protect keith? as though shocking revelations came out, the gun man's mother made a humble plea that they could plan. i have no words. i have no words to say because i don't know what he was thinking across the state of texas in houston. the national rifle association held its 1st convention in 3 years, despite the deaths of 21 people in nevada. the former president, donald trump, is keynote speaker, still an unapologetic supporter of gun rice. as always in the wake of these tragedies, the various gun control policies being pushed by the left would have done nothing to prevent the horror that took place. absolutely nothing. ironically, due to his presence, no guns were allowed inside, the gun convention would crowd outside the convention,

intimating was the crowd inside. there were thousands of people out there in their messages. the inner reg, you'd go away. the massive throng protested to groups, timing and goals. oh, the hard high profile figures addressed the crowds inside and out. we had to feed you and we will overcome you and we will leave you behind. democratic congresswoman, sheila jackson lee says the n r a meeting is unwelcome in her district. we welcome them. 2 as human beings and visitors, enjoy the city, but cancel your meetings. amid the din of the crowd, perhaps the most sombre demonstration was a child sized coffin, a reminder of just how high the stakes are in the american gun debate. john henry al jazeera houston. well, darn port sure. as

a retired new york police department left tenants and a criminal justice professor, he says please protocol for a clear on how the shooting should have been handled. you send the 1st available officers in and their job is to interdict and neutralize the assailant as quickly as possible. this is not the time the wait. now this been a level of ambiguity from the perspective of the public, a frazzled ser, from a police department that echoed a sentiment that they put out a statement that there was a barricaded. suspect that is completely bad. you have to focus on getting those children out of there as quickly as possible with the barricaded suspect that's when you introduced hosted negotiation things to that effect. however, when you have an active shooter, that's when you come in and with the attempt to interdict and neutralize the shooter. and in my mind, that's what went wrong. i think that it's important to be as forthright as possible

at the onset because it avails investigators to assess this in a much more expedited manner and get the results of the public that they deserve. and it's just so unfortunate that history has repeated itself because we go back a couple of years ago, we had a shooting in a place for park land in florida with nicholas cruz went in and he began firing from the parking lot before he got into that school building and we had you re, similarities in this case where the shooter began firing outside and then entered that school building. so we don't want history to repeat itself. and so when we look at the investigation, we want to be sure that we get that information out to additional schools, so they can erect the necessary fortification to prevent an event that says catastrophic is this from occurring in the future. the international criminal court has a clear mandate to investigate israel's killing a palestinian journalist as

a war crime. that's according to journalists and lawyers who filed the case last month. they've now expanded it to include the shooting out a 0 sharina worker who was killed by his ready forces in the occupied west bank earlier this month. and he, barbara, as his report now from london, should ear since last email to al jazeera news room and got her in a minute while lead al amory al jazeera jerusalem bureau chief, talking about the moments before his writing forces. shocked at his colleague on the 11th of may in janine, ah, this event brought together the people who lodged a complaint with the international criminal court in april on behalf of for palestinian journalists, killed or maimed by his ready fire, while clearly identifiable as price. now they're adding new names to the file. sharina blackledge, one of the arab world's best known reporters and her colleague gallia. so moody shot in the back. an injured moments before sharon was hit, one message came through loud and clear. at this event. there's no lack of evidence, but there's also new momentum behind calls for international action over israel's

targeting of journalists and deliberately taught it. and it is a looking to cover of the war. it is system salvage, objective reporting on the ground documentation of human and that's why jennifer time and that's why we say this case is a serious, i mean i to see ought to be looking at the target in general in particular as opposed to other civilian death the cases being brought by the international federation of journalists, the palestinian journalist syndicate and the international center of justice for palestinians. when they say last year, marked a turning point. when the i c c road, it's jurisdiction extended to the occupied palestinian territory. according to reporters without borders, at least 30 journalists, mostly palestinians, had been killed by his ready fire in the west bank and gaza. since 2000. these ready armies never acknowledge any responsibility. how hopefully you can down the line to achieve any kind of justice for shipping and other policy. and journalists

given the fact it is right, not potty to the c c given it's track record of of non investigation. pre trial chamber ruling is very clear. the isis is yours, diction. criminal jurisdiction extends over the territories that we're speaking about. and that means that the i, c, c, prosecutor can issue a warrant for the arrest of perpetrators. and then that has severe consequences for the individual perpetrator, whether the inside israel or not al jazeera is preparing its own dossier, which is all submit to the i c. c, as well as sharina killing. it includes these radio striking garza that destroyed the offices of al jazeera and the associated press a year ago. on thursday, the palestinian authority says its own investigation established that is ready forces deliberately short sharing eichler hitting her in the head while she was

trying to escape. the israeli medias reported that the military has no plans to launch a criminal investigation. the baba al jazeera london, the palestinian health ministry says a teenage boy has been killed by israeli forces zion mohammed. a good name was 15 years old. official say he was shot 3 times during classes in a ton of al qaeda south of bethlehem. greece as accused iran of piracy, after cease to greek oil tankers, around says they would capture profile ations. these are the last locations of the 2 greek flag time construct on the marine monitoring platform vessel. find grease as rainy and helicopters landed on the ships in international waters 22 nautical miles off the coast around. well, the move appears to be in retaliation for an incident last month, when greek authorities detained a vessel carrying iranian oil, say the ship's owners had russian length. that iranian oil was then confiscated by

the u. s. around once the oil returned. 3 to policy is the executive vice president of the quincy institute, which is a foreign policy. think tank explains how the u. s. has a history of confiscating rainy and oil rig status pattern in the past. in the past, the united states, under the 5 industries, i'm not talking about the trump administration, under the biochemistry should as confiscated to iranian factors. so the oil in kept the money and this has been part of the rubric of sanctions enforcement. but the problem, of course is these are the us sent us sanctions are not the same thing as international law and as a result don't have any outside of us territory. so the one we have responded was tommy, and again, i really doubt that the volumes would be targeting agree vessel. how did not reach how they under the instruction and collaboration with the us justice department targeted the cargo. so i don't see the wagner gave me anything from them. certainly they're not getting any leverage. these are the,

your terms of pressing the europeans on the nuclear issue on the country. this is just adding more attention again, i think this is going to be the new future if there isn't a nuclear deal, which is going to be a lot of 2 from both sides trying to pressure each other. if there is ever any will give that we're going to see a reduction attentions and then there isn't any utility at all. any incentives on either side pro russian forces say they've taken control of these strategic ton of lehman ukrainian and russian forces had been fighting for control of the challenge next can nice and ukraine for several days. officials, they repeated their appeal, some more sophisticated western supply weaponry. they say that without it, they can't stop russia's fences. a massive de mining operation is underway and ukraine. russian forces have left the minds behind after retreating from towns near keith. simba's robbie reports not from boucher the united nations estimates that

ukraine is now one of the most heavily mind countries in the world. and not just because of the most recent russian invasion that's been going on for months now. but from a conflict that's been raging in the east of the country since 2014, since the invasion began, russia has left so much an exploded ordinance. and so many land mines all over the country experts here in ukraine estimate that it could take as much as 5 years to clear the areas that have been re taken by the ukrainian government. the mining teams like these ones are carrying out regular sweeps on land in farming communities in residential areas, as well as bodies of water, all around the key region, as well as all around the country mines, unexploded ordnance, all these things remain a serious and imminent threat people have set them off as well as tractors and fields, cars on the roads, even after russia has retreated from a lot of these areas, there continue to be losses of life and property from the things that they've left

behind. in fact, every single national park and forest area in cuba is currently off limits because of the threat of mines that might be there as well as us. so one explode ordinance . the government says they have $500.00 d mining experts that are currently operating and that's for the whole country. a country that is one of the largest in europe, and they need to train up 500 more. still a drop in the bucket for what needs to be done. they need more experts that can be mine areas and deal with unexploded ordnance. they need more vehicles as well. that can then carry those mines and explosives away 2 areas where they can carry out controlled explosions and, and get rid of the threat. the slow pace of this work means that it is taking longer for people to return to their homes and towns and cities that have been retaken by the ukrainian government. this, as russian forces that have re mobilized from areas like this on to the east and

the south continue to gain ground and population centers. other towns and cities continue to fall to the russian advance slide here now to 0. the u ends rights chief is wrapping up her visits. china will could why her credibility may be at stake. ah, he has begun the, the full world copies on its way to catherine book your travel package today. let's go with your weather report for asia. however, on, thanks for joining in for it. so i wanted to start with where this southwest monsoon is, we can trace it out of just cutting through part. so she no longer out toward the bay, a ban gall and the weeks to come. this will progress further toward the north given us bouts of heavy rain now ahead of the disturbance for india's careless state. we do have rain in the forecast and there's that rain coming for the mold leaves and that western side of sri lanka. let's go further north,

around the bay of ben gall and i think we're going to see some big thunderstorms light up here, particularly around that border with west bank. all and bungler dash on saturday. winds and hail will be the biggest threat here. lot of rain in the forecast for indo china as central southern portions may see some flooding here. dry spells across sumatra, but i think bursts of rain for southern sumatra. read into west java. seasonal rains in china. our plum rains have really been doing the number on southern areas over the past 24 hours, some picking up about a 100 millimeters of rain. and i think we'll see much of the same on saturday. landside warning has been dropped for fukushima prefecture on japan's main island of honchos, still showers in the forecast for how cato and look at these temperatures and beijing, up to a high of 36 degrees on saturday, season officially align with the judge. how do you states control information in china? no can go if you try to search the war, can

a men we find it is trying to make the whole country forget how did the narrative improve public opinion? they have live die, and that allowed the children to continue to die to how is this is in journalism, we framing this story. i'm here to document the war crimes committed by what did, and he is resumed. the listening post dissects the media on al jazeera. ah ah. you're watching out her mind about top storage and texas. police say they made the wrong decision by not immediately entering a classroom where a gunman had barricaded himself in. they have been criticized for waiting more than an hour before confronting the 18 oak. 19 children and 2 teachers were killed in

tuesday's massacre. the governor of texas craig roberts, has expressed anger over the way the police handle the shooting. he says he was misled about their response. who said initially that a school resource officer engaged government outside the building or the move repairs be in retaliation? for instance, lots months when greek authorities tend to vessel carrying iranian oil, saying the ship. china had russian links that radiant oil was uncomplicated by the us iran once oil should be returned. the killing of a black man by police is led to outrage across brazil. demonstrators have gathered in front of the federal highway police headquarters in south pounder, demanding justice for the mud. a video of incident with shed widely on social media wanting some viewers may find the following images and monarchy anarchy has report to step that it's still got a thing to police officers pinned down as any voltages. we soon push

a blackman bay say was resisting arrest, then the trap him inside the smoke filled trunk of their police car. oh, look at that man there. oh my god, they're killing him inside the car says one with video of the incident went viral on social media. protests have been held in his hometown in boulder, in northeastern brazil, and shock and outrage expressed across the country. for years human rights activists have accused police in brazil, of discrimination, brutality in excessive force. on tuesday, the day before santos died, dozens of people were shot dead during a police raid on a criminal gang in rio de janeiro. oh gosh, assumable, left with up. yes. another massacre and a fidelity truly shocking. we cannot allow it to be normal that the state enters, of her valour and leaves with 20 or more dead. relatives of santos say he was

unarmed and suffering from heart problems and skin. so prina, the federal highway police have open an investigation into his death was in a statement. they said santos was actively resisting the officers who pulled him over. they immobilized him then used instruments of lester offensive potential to contain him. something was taken to the hospital doctor say he was dead when he arrived at the emergency room. the police officers involved have been suspended, but many in brazil, fear this may be another example of institutional brutality and racism within the police. monica not give al jazeera rio de janeiro. jonas live from south paula and brazil. it's gustavo rivera. he's the founder of the brazilian report, an online magazine. gustavo, welcome. this incident. just awful. it defies belief, really, doesn't it? and it appears that the offices are aware that they're being watched. i. so the 1st

question is, is how can they expect to get away with it? thanks for having me. and yes, this, this case is show a tele pattern of how bird of police forces can be in brazil. and i think one of the main issues is the lack of accountability, which has usually been the norm rather than the exception. police foresters are usually they are state, they are under the state administrations in brazil, but they almost operate as a parallel for us. and the political power has less and less influence within the police institutions. and there's a lot of of corporatism and self protection in this forces. and for years the norm has been a lack of accountability. that's why i think they act so the, the social academic away,

the statement that the highway patrol released after killing that mentally a man was was a joke because it said that the officers were dealing with a violent person and they act in a non lisa way and the images shows anything but that this comes at a time of more than 20 were killed in rio. so is why is this kind of thing so endemic in brazil? well, there is like an airplane crash. it's just, it's not one single reason. it has to be multiple factors happening at the same time. for one in brazil, we have a militarized police force that we have the military police, which acts as sort of beat cops. and then the civil police, which is the detectives, and the investigations, and the military police. they have a structure that really favors the use of force. we have

a wave of very conservative for right politicians in brazil who adopt in the who with spouses should 1st ask later approach to crime. the former governor of rio who was suspended from office just in 2020, said that the police forces within his administration would aim at the little heads of the criminals. so this is the kind of political leadership we having presence variable. so now, for instance, congratulated the real cops who were part of the operation which kills at least 25 and is the 2nd deadliest police operation in real recorded history. the deadliest being just last year. and we have to remember that last year the real police killed more than 1600 people. the present police is an extremely deadly force. that being said, there are in

a few states initiatives to remedy that. for instance, in some power i'm talking from the state government started the pilot project to to force police officers to where body cameras. right. and the results have been incredible. we have seen a drop in the police lethality in the states of 31 percent. and within the pre 6, they use the body cameras, 85 percent. ok. all right, was could see some progress is being made. better. appreciate that. thanks very much indeed for your time. thank you. michelle bachelor's. credibility has been called into question. is she near the end of a 6 day trip to china? the u. n. top human rights diplomats has been unable to gain access to meet president. she's in pain in person. and scant details have been released of her visits within the country. and many saying they were impeded by tight government controls, 3 year reports. now from paging. boy, it's the 1st trip to china by

a u. n. human rights commissioner since 2005. but the details of michelle bachelor's visit had been hard to come by. or a 6 days she spent time in gong jo in china's south as well as the cities of room. would she and cash gar in shin young province? due to strict corona virus regulations. no reporters were allowed to travel with her. and many of her meetings, including with president she didn't king have taken place on the line. oh, it is a good day with her to see how hulu or lucius dorsey, really low for her is as in sustainable laurels rest or activists say government controls have prevented nationally from clearly assessing alleged atrocities, taking place against the regal people. her visit was 1st planned in 2018,

following widespread allegations that china was subjected legal to forced labor, sterilization and torture in several governments and rights groups say beijing is guilty of carrying out genocide, i doubt assure to have unfettered access to the region. i doubt if you wouldn't be able to talk to the victims of the gunners abuses i saw. you know, i don't have high hopes it. attention on shins young has intensified this week following an unprecedented leak of police files purporting to reveal bleak conditions inside one of the province's notorious internment camps. thousands of mug shots and documents, including his speech, ordering gods to shoot and kill those who try to flee. challenge china's description of the count as voluntary vocational training centers. there is nothing to do with poverty alleviation, nothing to do with helping people to get job. it's about brutal,

brainwashing. it's what putting them in prison like prison terms god acquire, heavily on police begging has denied accusations of mistreatment, calling them the lie of the century. it says its policies in the region are designed to stamp out terrorism. she didn't pin defended china's human rights record on wednesday, saying it would not be patronized by other countries. what michelle natalie says her trip is not an investigation, but a mission to promote human rights. but critics fear this little it will achieve. katrina you out a 0, beijing. the champions league final between rail madrid and liverpool will take place in paris on saturday. the match was move from st. petersburg due to the war and ukraine, meaning the start to france, host, europe's biggest club game for the 1st time. and 16 years and porous is there. oh, in the champions league it doesn't get much better and being

a fan of rail madrid. by saturday nights the supporters could be celebrating at title number 14, twice as many as any other club. i think we can be livable. we are not satisfied with 1310 business. liverpool contingent, a praying for a may 7th trophy and revenge for defeat to madrid in the 2018 final. oh, i think this our year madrid won 7. the last 7 bought the last thing. the loss was in paris. i went to bodies in 1981 when we lost to liverpool, one year. i remember that the history matters, but it's the present that has people tipping this final to be a classic. these teams aren't just the best on the european stage, the season. they're also the most exciting. liverpool have a beautiful chemistry in attack, while madrid have mounted some of the most dramatic comebacks. this competition has ever seen. france strike a carrying benjamin is the play who has made the difference to madrid's fortunes

scoring 10 goals in the knockout stages. lol or we weren't. we're not allowed to maria, but we're not. i'm treating the final naturally getting into the final is a big success for us. we know how demanding this club is and all about the clubs history. we think we have had a very good season in reaching the final has been very important for us. now we are very close to achieving something huge the season and we will give our all to achieve it. but there are temporal liverpool have more than one special striker as they ain't to stop. rails run of 7 winds in a row in the european final of course is geometry. and of course people up bus which is focused on trying to win this game. we want to win the trophy, we, you know, when you get to the fair, you know, you're so close. but it's the hardest, harder to go over than, you know, hopefully we can, hopefully we can be the one celebrating with many more funds traveling than the seats available. tickets are being exchanged on the black market for up to $5000.00 and counting. that's several times the monthly earnings of those he lives next to

the stud difference in sound, any one of the poorest areas in the country on this bridge. this is the separation between the normal suddenly i should say with such for neighbourhood such as this one of whom was on and on the other side. the said the false, where there is, there are many major international events, such as the final of the youth attempt as they, for example, one thing can be to make tickets more affordable for people of somebody because we are locals. here we welcome the world, but we can't go inside the said the fall. not staying locally, could make getting to the stadium difficult rail work as a planning a strike to coincide with saturdays final. on the pitch the railing, madrid's french strike could be the only way to win 41 years of rail dominance. full rece out his air at paris. ah said this is our desert.
