hey, with with ah, an independent extensive forensic investigation finds the killing of al jazeera journalist. rena barclay by israeli forces was deliberate.

ah, i'm sam is a van. this is al jazeera alive from dough hall. so coming up, leaders at the un general assembly here, a blistering warnings from the secretary general. and we entered a global discontent is on the horizon. a cost of living crises is reggie rusty scrambling inequality is not exploding. and our planet is bernie. moscow. back set protest in ukraine's don bass region declared they'll hold. busy referendums on joining russia. ah, an independent investigation is found the killing of shooting and r block led by israeli soldiers may. busy was deliberate. al jazeera provided material for the

analysis which was carried out by research firm forensic architecture. and i'll help a human rights group. the investigation reconstructed in this video and animation started the angle of the israeli stipend gunfire in relation to assuring location. the rate of fire and the number of bullets used rules out the possibility of confrontations between israeli forces and palestinian gunmen in the occupied west bank at the time. it also says the sniper, open 5 to 2 minutes targeting the al jazeera journalist and anyone who tried to rescue her. i was 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 simulated 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 press 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 our lease position 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. 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, my colleague, tom mccrae spoke to almost hawaii the lead investigative 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 the millimeters. with that, with the unprecedented or unseen before footage, we can locate the precise position of the journalists, including sharing 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 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. so do you think that some of this could apply 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 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 file that the i c c. speaking in the hague and told walks i called for justice and assistance killing. it has been over 4 months since city was good. our family shouldn't have to wait another day for justice. that's why, in addition to point, continuing our call for a u. s. investigation. we are also holding on the international criminal court for to begin the process for holding the killers are called israel, granite investigator on 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 a military kids with impunity. if not, to leave the door open for reserves military or any other alluded to the to do this again. ah, an annual meeting of global leaders is taking place in new york, a war new crane and its impact world wide has dominated un general assembly debate . so far, but it was the mayor of carter who reiterated solidarity with palestinians uncalled for an end to this ray. the occupation would do the ticket. i stressed that we stand in full solidarity without brotherly palestinian people in that aspiration to achieve justice. the security council must shoulder its responsibility a must compel israel to end the occupation of palestinian territories and to establish a palestinian state along the borders of 1967 with jerusalem as its capital. and

what's a shockley to miles shall, is at the united nations and joins us live from there now. so jamal, the basic, her message there was leaving problems to fest does with, with populations who are aggrieved, will only come back to hold the world. indeed the amid of katara stressing that a lot of the currents crises that the world is struggling with right now aren't fit the crises that have come about overnight. they've come due to a lack of maybe will from the international community to try and find a solution to them. they have come you through a lack of accountability for those responsible for creating or exacerbating those crises. and they definitely require urgent action in order for there to be any hope for a better future. as you heard the oversee them in of caught up did start by talking about maybe one of the more global pressing issues with regards to ukraine. and the knock on effect is had on cost of living crises on energy prices and so forth. but

then at the top of the agenda was the issue of the legal occupation of palestine. to discuss this a little bit more, i'm going to bring in doctor muddle on saudi the spokesperson for the cutter. for mr. an advisor to the deputy prime minister doctor budget. thank you for joining us here on al jazeera. i'm the main takeaways from the mute of cutter speech. well, lead, you might, i think there are a lot of take away from the speech today. the speech comes at the time where at conflict in the norman international society, and therefore, it was foreseeable that their speech would the highlight their problems and began conflict, and the problems in the energy markets, internationally and in food supply and dec for his highness made it very clear from the beginning of the feast, the need for wisdom and actual behavior on or on their part of the leader, the fair of the well to day to fold. i'll issue in a way that is at peaceful birth and death. almost most comprehensive. there also,

and he also highlighted that small and medium palate of, in the well today had that old to play. it is not only the great power of and that dependency on the great power that should form the way that we tackle the 3rd challenge of to date as they're a small country about that and death or other countries of their same size. and same magnitude would like to play a mercedes spot in the international arena today. and that, that has done that in many, many issues as you have commented on some of them just a moment ago. and therefore, this dependency on a great power should not be deb batty m. o. ne, facing these challenges together and working together to make sure that we, we face these challenges as an congressional community. we've seen that the carpet has played this role in terms of some of the crises like afghanistan, for example, in africa in terms of conflict resolution. we recently naja. but for example, when it's come true, more contentious not saying issues when we're talking about, for example, palestine, when we're talking about even syria got that has taken

a unique position visa v. it's from stance with regards to rejecting illegal occupation. it's from songs against the attempts to normalize with the shuttle. i said regime, why do you think or do you agree may be that certain international powers, whilst they may be welcoming for door? how to play a role in afghanistan? let's say in other places they won't be as eager for the how to play that same role in issues like for example, the occupational hottest and other other we have seen, of course, in many of these and financial issue that, that, that had remained stained athens principal and this is what had signed the fed when he threw the need for a i put a policy that is based on principle and a national interest there together. and there, when it comes to our foreign policy, at the very clear i now have fallen palsy initiative as his eyes highlighted. i basically, when it comes afghans, daniel, i feel going for that effect to they do have agreement, which it highlighted the importance of a i've got a son that being

a hot hot would engage with them being a platform on international lead tango them while in the same time, the need to had dialogue and tube and not to isolate the afghanistan. and there it on the need for a fair. and just the idea that got into that the iranian people would get a peaceful er, benefits of nuclear power without any paid way for the medicaid. it had militarization and nuclear. the speaking and alpha of the region with comes to pakistan. he found it made and he created that position as it is only that, that, that a dilution of the issue on the solution to at the palestinian. the issue is to give the passing people that i'd sent to establish a bad thing if they thunder won't have the 1967. and we had made that very clear. and you know, as you said, a lot of initiatives like a chad for example, a welcomed by the end thing, national lead community. we do believe that the only play in pakistani, the appreciated internationally. we know that our dog stabilizing role in and got there has been appreciated by and many playing the pretty they not to states and

other european play a lot invested in the issue. and we are hopeful that the international committee would stand to get that not to be alone, that has liaison with it. we now have the reputation of being adopted international putnam. and when we say international partner, what we mean is that we work together with the international community with our rather than 15th in the u. n. and other international organizations. ready and with members safe to make sure that any initiative, any people initiative that goes there to add that did thoughtful is based on that international consent. i want to ask you about energy because this is something that is affecting our viewers. ordinary people around the world. price of petrol, gas heating, gothic tricity is skyrocketing. carter is one of the biggest providers of, ah, goslin, alan g, around the world. and what is, ah, cut out his role in trying to find a solution to this global energy crisis. what are you doing to about it's well there at the he's on the pilot, the feature to. ready we are facing an unprecedented and educated from the well to

the exacerbated of course, by the conflict and ne, in ukraine and ad. but it is not just a product of this, a conflict in ukraine. it has been going on for years now. and that, that has been highlighting the fisher, they need for diversification, the need for more innovative this solution. and as if i find the fit, the press eh, on ending good, i'd look, i was a listening the dependency on the hydrocarbons with that without being add logical and looking at the number than seeing how this would affect the energy is one of the many things of that situation, we have there internationally to day. and the solution for this as design of lined out is that we need a mixture of fear of their by, of energy a supply internationally that is diversified in their thoughts and in their produces and dare the say i should include the solar hydrogen a wind, but also include hydro hydrocarbons as big as high dependency on it. and what we have done, for example, and expanding our air production to 126000000 tons,

which will take place in the next couple of years. a secondly, am going to be very helpful to make sure that they have marked supply and the international law community. and the important thing here to figure out that as the timeline debt out very clearly in had this week, we are talking here about commodities that the world cannot live without, without about energy products within about food, we're talking about medicine would be 3 products. and many other that are big a vital to human life need to be sustained. and 1st of all in exploiting. and this is where the responsibility of the ex bumping get candidates to we trustworthy and to not use it as a political lead tool. but also for the international community to guarantee a safe passage for the fair combat commodities, and fairly with and take distribution of it or from amazon. sorry, thank you very much for your time. obviously a number of topics that touched upon there as the 7 7th session of the year. and general assembly continued there will be more leaders addressing to some of those.

busy core issues, which as i say, are impacting everybody both on a day to day level, but obviously shaping how geo politics are developing around us back to you in the off i think room i thanks jamal that. so bring in now on diplomatic editor, james based standing by for us. live at the, you know, i said, nation. so had a number of speeches so far. the picture is not looking pretty so far though. no, it's a very grim picture painted by the un secretary general of the situation in the world. it was pretty grim last year. but of course, what's been added to that is war in europe war in ukraine. let's discuss this further with another secretary general. i'm joined by the 2nd general of nato, yan stokes and berkeley joins me now. second, gel. let us look at where the war is right now. since the beginning of september, you grain regret ukraine's regained 6000 kilometers of territory. clearly this is a turning point, but do you think it could be decisive in this war?

it is encouraging and that her the ukrainians have been able to liberate her significant her tori. ah, and are so due to their courage to commitment of ukraine armed forces. but also due to the support at $9.00 and partners. so the role however, provide the to crane, enable them to defend himself against a brutal aggression or a by preston, booting against the sovereign an inbound nation in europe. you see all the intelligence that we don't see. you can't share that with us. i know, but from what you've read, how seriously degraded is the russian military now? they have lost a lot. so i her material, her personnel on the press, them to attend. i made a huge satiric mistake because he thought he was going to take control over your crane within days, sir. then he didn't succeed in taking care of any or her reform later. they man to take it on boss. they're all friends. they're stalled. and now ukraine is serv,

pushing back on, taking back a territory. but the wars are unpredictable. we need to be prepared for a long haul. and the 1st big challenge is, of course, to winter. the winter's coming is going to be hard. and there, if we need to step up our supporter to ukraine, let's look at russia's response to the setbacks it's received and we've had, in the last few hours, the announcement of referenda in lieu hands can donates. it seems that doing what they did in 2014 in crimea. what's your response? such a friend our have and no her legitimacy or be call sir. they are has shame or a friend us on the they will not change or the nature over the war. this remain so war of aggression against her ukraine on her. it represents an escalation. ah, because if suddenly it is served faith or is which are part of ukraine are declared as part to russia that will further escalate the conflict. so strong words from you, but is there any action that nato can take in response to these referenda,

which are going to happen in days? whittle again, the most important thing is to support your crime. because at the end of the day, it's only ukraine that can defend your crane. a ne, dallas are not part of the conflict, but we help you print support ukraine. or to pull the right for self defense, a right and shrine in action, the you and shorter as standing in front of you and building a new york. and her every nation has the right to defend itself against her aggression. and that's exactly what the crane does. and we help them in terms of rushes response. are you worried about further military escalation? because recently your former deputy rose guatemala, raised the prospect of russia using tactical nuclear weapons. are you worried about that? we are monitoring very closely and on her we have made sure that her russia no, sir, that any use of nuclear weapons were told they changed her nature, the character of this or war a nuclear war. her cannot be her one as should never be fault on the rush on

those done. what would nato do, though? if russia used a tactical nuclear weapon? first of all, we have made it absolutely clear that of course we are ready to protect and defend her. any and need to ally against any effects on the, the whole idea of nato's one for all, for one on there, for also alls increased on military presence in east, on part of the alliance. to remove any room for miscalculation misunderstanding in moscow about our ability to defend every in shall nettle territory. finally, secretary general, we heard something we haven't heard before. in this war. municipal deputies in moscow and saint petersburg starting to speak out against president putin. what would you say to those who are in positions of power in russia? is it time for them to start to speak out? we welcome, of course, that we have the voices in russia that are speaking out against us, the war. but we also know that the oppressed and boot these using and his power

also suppressed sir democracy, a journalist for freedom of expression. and therefore we see much less opposition of his publicly than it would have seen the more open and free sight installed him burg. second general of nato, thank you for joining us here. on out to 0. ukraine will be top of the agenda throughout this week, we're going to here on wednesday from present biden. and on thursday, a special un security council meeting at foreign minister level around the table. you'll have the u. s. the secretary state antony blinking. but you'll also have the russian and the ukranian foreign ministers. all right, thanks so much. we'll look forward to that. james rushes foreign minister, so gay leverage says it's up to the people. living in separate is controlled areas to decide what they want to move some furniture from the very beginning of the special military operation. and before it, we've been saying that the peoples of the respective territories should decide their own fate. the whole current situation confirms that they want to be master of their own fate. kevin alexander has more from keith in separation and in no,

yes. in both of those regions, russia only holds roughly about 50 percent of the territory. their local officials have said that they only plan to hold this referendum vote in the part of those regions. their russian forces do currently hold how though it's really unprecedented to try to hold some sort of referendum such as this in an active wars zone is exactly what they're facing right now. it also appears that this was hastily organized or put together, given the fact that one of the local russian imposed officials in desperation said, well, we're going to hold this referendum by the internet voting and by mail. even though in that area, both male and internet service are very unreliable at best and in most cases not even available. so. busy still lots of questions to be worked out here. we do

expect or we are hearing, at least that russia is president vladimir put a potent could be addressing the russian people in a televised address. so be watching that closely to see what more he has to say about this important to point out. we've already heard from ukrainian officials, including the foreign minister that is calling this referendum vote, assuming it goes forward and his words a sham. they're just rolling their eyes and they say it's just simply a joke. to news. yes. so cold anti terrorism police have detained senior opposition, politician and former prime minister. i laid out i, it, that i had and not the policy leader should have a new she were initially brought in for questioning. on monday, a policy official says the 2 men are accused of sending fighters to syria law. it is expected to appear in court on wednesday in iran, protests continue over the death of a woman while in police custody. massa, i mean,

a baltimore court house wearing a gps monitor. while this conviction for murdering his ex girlfriend has been overturned, he is still under suspicions of the crime. however, the judge agreed with prosecutors that they were serious questions about the integrity of the trial which led to him being jailed for the past 23 years were not yet declaring, not yet declaring ad non sorry to interfere. but we are declaring that in the interest of fairness, injustice, he is entitled to a new trial. the conviction grew worldwide attention as a result of the pilot in crime, comcast serial. the 1st we got airing in 2014. each episode meticulously recounted the details of the case, as well as inconsistencies in the investigation. now with our, he's admit that even as they prosecuted, sire, it was known to were 2 alternative suspects that were not disclosed. and they accept the key cell phone location day to use. this evidence was floored by the

family of highland lee, who was 18 years old when she was strangled and buried in a park se they've been blindsided by science release. they say the state conducted the appeal without sufficiently consulting them. they want the truth to come out of it. the truth is that somebody else killed their sister daughter and they want to know that more than anybody, they were shut out of the legal process. the court and the state attorney's office, and there was, it was inexcusable question being of would prosecutors reexamined the case without the podcast, whatever the outcome of this case, it has at the very least revealed yet another example of prosecutorial misconduct. and it raises the question, once again of how many others are serving jail time in the us, based on flawed convictions she ever time see al jazeera c kelly is a partner in sanford highs and sharp, who represent the family of hey, mainly. he says the release is very distressing for the family. my clients are

beside themselves. you know, they feel that they are reasonable. people are good people. they've cooperate with prosecutors all along. and they were really, really mistreated in the way that this was handled them. and more than anything, you know, that's where that's what esteem and that's what sticking out this morning for them . you know, they're very, very distraught. and i'm ashamed as a lawyer that i couldn't do more to, to help make hayes voice heard. you know, because that's my job. and our legal system allows for allens between, you know, the, the defendant rights and the victims rights victims have important interests. and this families voice was not her. and that's all they wanted. they wanted to information and then they wanted their perspective to be her. i went into court, basically working with my team overnight to get a motion prepared, asking for

a 7 day extension to allow the brother of hague to come from los angeles to baltimore, to learn more about emotion and to really be able to give his perspective in court, the judge and the prosecutor and the defense all shut that down. and, you know, not coincidentally, they had a joint press effort scheduled with all the media outside. and it was pretty clear to me that you know, and we were talking about the interest of the victim's family that that was not adequately wait. england's creditors are playing in the 1st international match in pakistan for 17 years. in the last 2 had passed on in 2005, no international cricket was played in pakistan for 6 years after an attack on the flank team by government in 2009. england were due to play in august on last year, pulled out due to quote, increasing concerns about traveling to the region in the will,
