Brother of Shireen Abu Akleh says White House "should take action"

Tony Abu Akleh, the brother of killed Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, tells Newshour, "As much as it was distressing," the size of the crowd gathered for her funeral, "showed how much Shireen was well known, well trusted in Palestine. It was one big Palestinian funeral for Shireen."
