soldiers may was deliberate. al jazeera provided material for the analysis which was carried out by research forensic architecture and huck a human rights group. the investigation reconstructed this video and animation studied the angle of these railey snipers gunfire. relation to shooting location, the rate of fire, and the number of bullets used. it rules out the possibility of confrontations between israeli forces and palestinian gunman and the occupied west bank at the time. it also says the sniper, open 5 for 2 minutes targeting val just here, a journalist, and anyone who tried to rescue a i us marksman typically use an optical scope 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
7:03 pm
from the marksman position 190 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 that position when he was shot and the bullet points of impact, as well as shooting position and the point of impact when she was shot and killed. when the marksmen 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 street.
7:04 pm
the proximity of the shots confirms the professional marksman repeatedly and explicitly targeted the journalists. earlier, my colleague, tom mccrae spoke to almost ferocity the lead investigative for the research group. forensic architecture. he began by asking him about the scope of the analysis. well, we've been working every day since the day that shaheen 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, through footage and photographs and documentation of the site that transforms the site into a model that can be measurable to millimeters with vast, with the unprecedented or unseen before footage, we can locate the precise position of the journalists,
7:05 pm
including shooting of office 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 soldiers 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 you know beyond the journalistic work, 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 along. so do you think that some of this
7:06 pm
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, 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
7:07 pm
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 it's very clear what we found here. a complaint 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. speaking in the hague, anton law clerk called for justice for assistance killing which has been over 4 months since shooting was good. our family shouldn't have to wait another day for justice. that's why in addition to quin continuing our record for a u. s. investigation. we are horse recording on the international criminal court order to begin the process for holding the killers or council is their own general to investigate their own crimes. and it's time, it's time for their international communities to take

the turkish president there he made. but basically, i, i guess you could say the presentation of turkey as a great mediator of world conflicts on the stressing, gone anchors, efforts to try and find common ground in number of conflicts, but other forefront as we heard there saw me the war in ukraine and walls, you know, he did impress upon delegates and while the leaders gathered in the united nations or the united nations of courts or the need for a peaceful solution, he stopped short of providing any tangible steps. and that may not necessarily be reflective of the sort of kias shortcomings in so much as it is a factor of where we are right now, where no country or body has been able to find any, you know, practical steps to put an end to this war. which has gone on now for more than half
