Youre watching aljazeera a reminder of our top stories this hour thousands of mourners have been paying their respects to george floyd at a memorial in Houston Texas thats where he grew up his family says it will continue to fight for justice for its funeral will take place later on today. Libyas National Oil Corporation says an armed force which it did not identify has entered an oil field in the south and demanded workers shut it down the company says its told employees not to debate those on this. On the ground in libya a video has emerged that appears to show military officers from the United Arab EmiratesTraining Forces loyal to warlord holy for half that russian mercenaries have been instrumental in helping her task force its. Own israeli settler convicted of murdering 3 members of a Palestinian Family and 2015 will shortly be sentenced by an israeli course. Was convicted of 3 counts of murder 2 counts of attempted murder and 2 counts of arson through a fire bomb into the home of the family killing a married couple and their infant son their eldest son who was 4 years old at the time was the only survivor. Lets go live now to harry force it too is outside the course in lived which is close to tell of eve heritage us whats happening there today and what sort of ballpark sentence this man is facing. Well its a very different scene here from last month when the conviction came down at that point there was a group of settler activists outside here cheering and supports of the soon to be convicted benicio today its groups of campaign is on the other side against what is known here in israel is jewish terror the shin bet the Security Service so that this was a landmark case in terms of combating jewish terror and i think given that and given the details of the case the 3 murder convictions conviction fast and not conviction of belonging to a terror group but nonetheless this is a hugely high profile case and i think less than a life sentence would be seen as extremely unexpected israeli law does mandate life sentences for murder they dont necessarily mean a full life inside prison but we could well be looking at decades rather than years when it comes to counting the likely sentence one bit of information that we have just had passed to us though from inside the court is that there will be arguments on both sides both legal teams will be able to argue for potential sentencing so there is at least a chance that we might not hear a final figure during the course of the day but obviously if we do we will keep you updated i believe will shortly be going to we have a correspondent in the occupied west bank but im wondering harry how is this case being perceived in in israel. Well it caused a huge amounts of outrage both in israel and in the occupied west bank when it happened it was a particularly dreadful attack 5 bombings through a window into the bedroom of a sleeping family the mother the father and an 18 month old boy all killed and a 5 year old boy i asked my do is now 9 years old was very very badly burned and had to spend a great deal of time in recovery and getting all sorts of treatment here in israel so its something that really was was seen as. One of the worst attacks by settlers on palestinians thats ever been seen and so there was a huge amount of. Interest here in israel theres a huge amount of outrage as well in the occupied west bank as far as the family is concerned when they were here last month they said that there was some satisfaction that they had been in the process of being followed through that a conviction had come down they felt though that more than one person was involved in this and they talked about the constant fear of further secular violence against us in is the occupied west Bank Something which certainly has not gone away. For now thank you harry for said there. In israel well as you heard the only survivor of the attack was a young boy who is still receiving treatment for his burns the to abraham spent time with his family in the town duma and the occupied west bank. Is really prosecutors one conviction last month against the israelis. But the only survivor of the crime continues to suffer. The lapses parents and 18 month old brother were killed 5 years ago. Settlers attacked the family home with a fireball leaving the 4 year old with serious burns he now lives with his grandparents. I forgot everything i dont have many memories of my parents. His family says he saw more that he wants to remember israeli settler i mean on been you leader was convicted of 3 charges of murder attempted murder and arson the court said hes carried out a terrorist attack but acquitted him of belonging to a terrorist organization. Around maybe middle of the civil sentencing wont mean much to me as it wont bring my family back or reunite them with. Them for years but i hope that it serves as a deterrent for settlers many here say the killings are the worst crimes to have been committed by Israeli Settlers in recent years they say settlers have the support of israels army and judicial system and that their presence in the occupied west bank is a crime in itself settlements are considered illegal under International LawIsraeli Settlers are tried in civil court unlike palestinians who undergo military trials the suspected killer of eyeshot robbies under house arrest as the court case against him continues she was killed by rocks thrown at her car in the west bank 2 years ago speaking in their home in biddy a Village North of the west bank her husband says he lost the love of his life. All 4 female grandchildren born after her death are named. By them as a lot of there were 4 suspects then they came 3 but now they are prosecuting one although they were more accomplices if the perpetrator was palestinian they would have a reset my whole village Israeli Human Rights Group deen has been documenting attacks against palestinians for the past 15 years it says only 8 percent of Israeli Police investigations and settler attacks lead to indictments. There is a government policy not to implement laws on the settlers which in the end helps implement the occupation strategy of controlling more palestinian lands. Family and friends are trying to help get over his loss his burns are Getting Better with what it says is painful these are treatment but some of the scores are not visible and might never ever heal. With a fall in oil prices countries like iraq are looking to diversify their economy but is making best difficult some out of 14 has this exclusive report on the challenges facing iraqs agriculture sector. Harvest season in iraq is in full swing a spart of the governments Grain Purchasing Program to encourage cultivation farmers are entitled to sell their produce to state run silos at a preferential rate but they Face Many Obstacles from the use congestion at the silo because of the lead in the labors old say that some of the products of flaws in cannot pass some farmers waited for 10 to 12 days outside the solid doors and this is caused a lot of frustration among the farmers and the syria. At the heart of these delays lies an entrenched system of corruption farmers traders and government officials told aljazeera we investigated these allegations watched by security and government officials we gained access to the title and its lib oratory this is what a decision is made on how much money each harvest will fetch farmers are up to 460. 00 per tonne for the highest grade of wheat but theyre left empty handed if theyre greenstone to meet minimum quality standards for this particular harvest was rejected because the lab found lentils inside the sample to serve him up would agree that the rate of acceptance is very good but we have found some quantities that contain lentils. These statements have startled many as no lentils are cultivated in the area farmers say reports of impurities aim to extort bribes of up to 1600. 00 per truck to add further pressure farmers are left to wait for days sometimes weeks outside the silo. Tired of waiting the small scale farmer decided to sell his hard earned harvest to private traders for as little as half the silo price was. Silas says there are flaws or theyll tell you to come back later so you keep coming back its expensive for you itll cost a lot if you sell it here at the wholesale market is better than selling it. So what do the traders do with the wheat this wholesaler openly admitted to selling to the silo which is supposed to deal only with farmers not traders. Those who pay will be received and most of them are traders this is the truth its all about money if you give money your product will pass if not it will get rejected aljazeera obtained a parliament report dated april 2020 which confirms that merchants sell wheat under the names of farmers and manipulate the evaluation process in coordination with sila management the report also found collusion to import cheap wheat from kurdistan and neighboring countries which is sold to silos at the preferential price as if it was local produce we put these allegations to the general manager of the iraqi grain board at the ministry of trade. In all the silos we have oversight bodies and the farmers can complain against any employee and we will send this employee for investigation but just based on talk here and there without evidence we cannot act. Iraq is in dire need to develop non oil sectors of its economy such as agriculture and to increase its food selfsufficiency as the country battles the coronavirus pandemic and the fiscal crisis but to achieve that the new government will need to tackle corruption and mismanagement in the states bureaucracy seem want to hold in aljazeera itself looked at.
