5:02 pm
an independent investigation has found that the murder of sharina barclay by israeli soldiers was deliberate. the probe was jointly carried out by london based forensic architecture and al hawk, a human rights group. al jazeera provided material for the analysis. the investigation reconstructed in this video and animation studied the precise angle of the israeli sniper location of the journalist, the right of fire and the number of bullets used. it rolls out any possibility of confrontations between israeli forces and palestinian gunmen and the occupied west bank at the time of sharina killing. it shows that the sniper shot, the 2 minutes deliberately targeting the al jazeera journalist and any one who tried to rescue her shearing was show him the hid by israeli forces while on assignment in jeanine. in may. i was marksman typically use an optical scope
5:03 pm
that is mounted on their m for assault rifles and magnifies their vision for times . this is the opening for the scope we stimulated. how shooting and the other journalists would appear from the marksman position. 10900 meters away. according to the model, this is what the marksman would have seen when they began shooting. the journalists, pressed vest would have been clearly visible. here and throughout the incident, we were able to verify their visibility by placing a camera with a telephoto lens at the precise position of the marksman and taking a photograph at 4 times magnification, indicating what the marksman would have seen through the scope. the journalists were clearly identifiable as such. we reconstructed alleys, physician, when he was shot, and the bullet points of impact, as well as students position and the point of impact when she was shot and killed.
5:04 pm
when the marksman shot shooting, she was turned away from them with her precipice in full view. we also identified the impact of 4 shots that hit the st. the proximity of the shots confirms the professional marksman repeatedly and explicitly targeted the journalists. earlier i spoke to my philosophy, who with the lead investigator for the research group, forensic architecture. i began by asking him the scope of the investigation. well, we've been working every day since the day that janine was killed on the 11th of may on this to create a very precise forensic analysis of all the circumstances of this shooting. how thorough it is that we are creating for the 1st time a spatial reconstruction and analysis,
5:05 pm
through footage and photographic documentation of the site that transforms the site into a model that can be measurable to the millimeters. with that, with the unprecedented or unseen before footage, we can locate the precise position of the journalists including shooting of off it throughout the incident of the shooting at them as well as the position for the 1st time to basically tell you exactly where the israeli occupation forces were and where they shot out of, we actually know the whole that they shot out of by, by constructing this model and positioning them throughout the space were able to ask questions about what did the israeli soldier see when they shot we were able to ask questions about what was the timing of the shots? were there any others around? these are questions that were coming up, but what could not be answered without this kind of forensic analysis? and what's difference here is that our work is can beyond the journalistic work,
5:06 pm
our work is admissible and national and international court of law. it will be used to mobilize as evidence, legal actions for the justice of shooting. so do you think that some of this could play a part in the international criminal court claim that has just gone ahead this morning? we hope that all our work, including this one is giving evidence material and concrete evidence that hasn't been given before. our list of findings is long and thorough and precise. and we do hope and think that it will push us to, to see for ourselves what we knew all along. that there was a deliberate targeting, that they could identify them as journalists, as they were shooting that they denied shooting off their medical aid. after she had been hit and that there was no one else around that there was no cross fire that there was no fighting around. i mean, seeing this evidence. yes,
5:07 pm
we do think that it is beyond any dose of what happened here. not only of the possibility, we know that the israeli occupation forces shot shooting and we have very strong evidence to say that they deliberately targeted them repeatedly as journalists that they knew they were a journalist and they repeatedly targeting them. so yes, we think that it will be a strong case for calling on further investigations. yeah, we think is very clear. what we found here. a compliant has also been filed with the international criminal court, demanding accountability for the killing. it's the 2nd case filed at the i c c. since sharon was shot by israeli forces was speaking in the hague and toner. barclay called for justice for his sister's killing. it has been over 4 months since she didn't was good. our family shouldn't have to wait another day for justice. that's why in addition to continuing our record for a u. s. investigation,
5:08 pm
we are also calling on the international criminal court order to begin the process for holding the killers account. is that own, cannot investigate their own crimes and it's time it's time for their international community to take a stand and hold those responsible accounts they, there must be consequences when the military, kids with impunity. if not, leave the door open for reserves military or any other movie city to do this again . ah, an annual meeting of global leaders is taking place in new york and the words of the un secretary general. the session of the general assembly comes at a time when the world is in big trouble. we need action across the board. let's have no illusions we are in rough seas. a winter of global discontent is on the
5:09 pm
horizon. a cost of living crises is raging thrust is crumbling, inequality is, are exploding, and our planet is burning. the international community is not ready or willing to tackle the big that emetic challenges of our age. these crises threatens the very future of humanity. and the fate of all planet cries is like what a new crane and the multiplication of conflicts on the globe crime. it's like the climate, the emergency and biodiversity. los cries is like the dia, financial situation of developing countries and the faith of the sustainable development goals. well, let's go live to our diplomatic. it is a james by his aunt, the united nations, and james, the secretary general, laid out all the issues facing the world and it was a mighty long list wasn't a very long list, a very grim list. when you listen to that speech, as you say,
5:10 pm
the 1st words of the speech, our world is in big trouble and then he laid out the trouble facing the world. he laid out the conflicts that are going. 3 badly that are not looking like they're going to be resolved. i'm going to stop the democratic republic of congo, haiti, the whole of africa, libya, iraq, israel palestine, me on my. so hell and syria, the only 2 places you can point to which are places that have been in conflict where things are perhaps improving the peace process in columbia. and then yeah, and the weather is very fragile terese, but i don't think life has improved a great deal for the people of yemen. clearly not just conflicts. also the issue of the climate. he said, i'll suicidal war against nature. he said the world had a rendezvous with climate change in the scene for the self when he was in pakistan just a couple of weeks ago. busy a 3rd of the country was under water. the result he said over mom soon on steroids. we've heard grim speeches by the sex general before. in
5:11 pm
fact, i've listened to him since he's been secretary general. this is year 6 and it's been getting tougher and tougher. his speech is the words he's been using about the situation around the world. but clearly on top of everything we've had in previous years, we have a new one this year, a big one, and that is the war in europe, the war in ukraine was just on the war and ukraine. how is it complicated to the diplomacy and cooperation on all the other issues that futures outlines? oh, it's really complicated. things is made, made relations really hard. you do have problems with dealing with russia on many, many issues when they try to get consensus on, on, on a resolution that's normally passed every year on nuclear weapons that was different, difficult this year. you've also got china, which mainly is taking russia side perhaps a little reluctantly, perhaps
5:12 pm
a little bit squat over it. we're going to see the problem is i think of ukraine play out very much in public on thursday because we have a meeting of the un security council called by the french foreign minister. all those around the table will be foreign ministers. will have the secretary state from the u. s. and the blinking, but we're also going to have the russian foreign minister and the ukranian foreign minister sitting around the same table. and i'm sure there's a lot of agreement there. the only things i can point to is that behind the scenes, the un working with turkey is trying to work on an exchange of prisoners. and the other thing that they're working on, remember that, that was that deal to get the crane grain out of ukraine. well, the 2nd part of that deal was to try and bring russian grain and food and fertilizer to market. that's prove difficult. there are some of those sanctions seem to be having an effect on russia's exports and certainly the you and the behind the scenes is working very hard with europe because they need that part of the deal to work in process. gonna continue to let the grain exports continue by
5:13 pm
ship through the black sea. diplomatic. it is a james base at the you in for us. thank you very much. the while the global consequences of ukraine's war is being debated and the you win on the ground, moscow back separatists and eastern ukraine. so they will hold referendums this week on joining russia. senior officials in moscow say that referendums will be held by separatist administration. and in the loo, hancock, and on it screeches were below 2 last night the civic chambers of the done yet, and landscape people's republics appealed to the hedge of these territories in order to immediately hold referendums on joining the russian federation. given the current situation there simply can't be any other solution. and referendums will definitely take place. the leaderships of the d p r and lp are already taking the
5:14 pm
necessary steps to join forces who rushes foreign minister. so guy lever, av says it's up to the people living in separatist controlled areas to decide what they want to move some of the machine from the very beginning of the special military operation. and before it, we been saying that the peoples of the respective territories should decide their own fate. the whole current situation confirmed that they want to be master of their own fate. local officials from both his own earns apparition regions have also announced foul pursuit referendums. let's go live to gabriel elizondo in cave . and gabriel at what time have we heard from senior officials in moscow? what more can you tell us about these potential referendums? what we are just getting word that is a very high probability that russian president vladimir putin will address the russian people this evening in a video address where it's expected that he will address this exact issue on events
5:15 pm
in ukraine and give more detail. so we have not gotten official confirmation from the kremlin yet that these referendum boats will take place. but it is certainly looking as that will be the case, given the fact that we've been hearing from russian imposed officials in all 4 regions. you just mentioned all saying that both are planned for the 23rd through 25th of september. so just 3 days away, starting this friday, this was unexpected. this was not expected by anybody here. and it appears that it was hastily called. and the reason we say that is because, for example, in that patricia, the local official there said that the vote will take place via mail and online. but the mail service is not operating in russian hill territory is, is that the region and there is not internet in many russian hill areas in that
5:16 pm
patricia. so it gives you an idea how the teams to be kind of thrown together here at the last minute. it's also interesting because in jeopardy asia and in don't ask 2 of the regions that local officials say that they're going to hold these referendums. russia does not even control the entire area of each of those regions. this is about 50 percent and this is happening in the middle of an active war, of course. so there are a lot of questions here still to be answered, but i can tell you the reaction so far from keith is one of sort of shrugging the shoulders and rolling the eyes if you will. they are saying that this officials here and keep are just saying that this is simply just a sham referendum that change anything, in fact, that ukrainian foreign minister tweeting these are sham referendums that will not change anything. those are his words, exactly, saying that russia has been and remains the aggressor and that no matter what
5:17 pm
russia does, ukraine will continue liberating land that is held by the russians. nevertheless though, this certainly is a major change of events here in ukraine because these a referendum boats could be happening just in 3 days and could dramatically change the trajectory of events here on the ground. you thank you very much for that. that's gabriel elizondo and keith for us. the still ahead on al jazeera kenyon schools, the justice as the world says, a fun farewell to queen elizabeth. the seconds in pakistan is getting ready to host to landmark cricket series. england have returned to apply for the 1st international matches in pakistan since 2005 ah
