Today's Highlighted Video Story: A month ago, Israeli soldiers shot dead Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in the occupied West Bank.
Known as the 'Voice of Palestine', the Palestinian-American was killed while doing what she'd done for 25 years: telling the stories of resistance to Israeli occupation.
Al Jazeera is referring the case to the International Criminal Court and continues to demand an independent investigation.
But are hopes of accountability fading away?
