    As my sister, I'll take her to her grave and fulfill my duties towards her, but her professional rights are with her ministry and with institutions. There's no charter, no charter, no law in the world, none of them, that allows targeting a journalist.

    Thousands gathered in Lebanon on Thursday for the funeral of the prominent Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil. Lebanon's prime minister has accused Israeli forces of committing a war crime by first targeting her in an airstrike, then blocking medical crews from reaching her for hours. We'll speak to the Committee to Protect Journalists and go to Beirut to speak with another reporter who knew Amal and was himself injured in an Israeli strike just last month. Then New York City Council member Chi Ossé joins us. He was violently arrested earlier this week at a protest against deed theft, a practice that's led to many evictions of longtime homeowners.
