>> the family of four palestinian boys are outraged. it happened almost a year ago during the war in gaza. the army said that two airstrikes targeted hamas fighters and struck the boys in

error. the investigation concludeed that no international laws were broken. head of the palestinian national initiatives said that the investigation said that the army cannot be trusted. >> we neverthe investigations conducted by the army that committed the crimes itself. how can you trust a group of people who committed the crimes investigating themselves. but in my opinion this investigation is going to be used as a figure leaf to cover the war crimes conducted in gaza including this crime of children. who were playing on the beach. this conclusion of this investigation committed shows very clearly we cannot trust them but also prove that there

is need for international investigators. >> thank you for joining us on al jazeera. we just heard the views of many that the only way to properly investigate these sorts of crimes and issues is through the icc. do you think its inevitable now that the palestinians will at least try to take this to the icc? >> you well, it's not clear that the palestinians will go to the icc regarding last year's attack on gaza. they're moving forward on the file of israeli settlements there. but i do agree that international mechanisms to hold israel accountable are really the only avenues of justice for palestinians to seek. it's clear that israel will not hold itself accountable for war

crimes committed against the palestinian people. >> in that interview they did say they were trying to present two files. one on the settlement and one on war crimes in gaza. you're speaking to us from the u.s. we know that the u.s. does not want the palestinians to take israel to the icc and that also certainly congress would reflect that aid could be withheld from the palestinians if they do go ahead and try to do that. that is the current u.s. laws to punish the palestinians if they present a case to the icc. but there are other mechanisms as well in addition to the icc. one is this commission of inquiry, which is going to be submitted to the human rights council and look at israel's activities and actions in gaza last summer. that's another avenue to pursue.

the problem with the obama administration is that it has wrongly cued to this viewpoint that israel is capable of examine and adjudicating its actions and holding itself accountable on its own. that's not been won out by the facts of the egregious case and unwillingness of israel to look seriously into the allegations that a war crime was committed here by the deliberate targeting of these children, who were playing soccer on the beach for three hours before they were killed. >> israel disputes that they say that the children were killed, that it was an accident. they were targeting a hamas compound next or near to where the children were playing. going back to the prospects of the palestinians going to the icc, do you think that would act as a deterrent to israel? >> it may serve as a deterrent

to future israeli aggression, but the reality is that israel is talking about the inevitability of another war against palestinians in the gaza strip, and with each ensuing war against palestinians in the gaza strip the intensity only progresses. so while it may theoretically serve as a deterrent from the testimony that's come out from israeli troops who participated in the attack last year, it was very clear that there was no distinction made by israeli soldiers between civilian and military targets. and that the intensification of the attacks on the people of gaza may only increase in the future despite palestinian ability to going to the icc now. >> josh rubn ener, thank you. >> the u.s. president has been

dealt a blow with the house of representatives partially blocking his plans to strengthen trade ties with asia. but it narrowly allowed president obama to fast track the deal. well for more on this we go to patty culhane who joins us live now from washington, d.c. a bit of an embarrassment for the president but perhaps not the end of the world? >> that's right, barbara are to use the old cliché he's down but not out. this is a different enemy for u.s. president barack obama. he was fighting his own political party democrats. he won a full fledge lobbying campaign. to show you how different this was. the president was told go home. the president is done working. then all of a sudden he goes to

a congressional baseball game to lobby members. then friday morning again another unscheduled stop at the u.s. capital. basically, if he wants the transpacific partnership done he needs authority. that's really the only way to get a trade pact done. if you look at the different members and constituencies it would be hard to get a deal done without that. he was embarrassed because one part of the provision fell. but the second part that is on fast track that did pass. >> what does it mean next for any potential deal? >> well, we'll talk about those fun details about how the inner workings of the u.s. congress don't try to understand it. both of these bills had to pass for it to become law. the fast tract authority. that's done. so now the president is saying all right we're going to talk about this aid package. this is an aid package for

overseas workers or workers who work overseas. they'll receive training, and that's hugely popular the program is set to expire in september. so he is now making the case to the democrats either you have to decide what you hate more, the trans-pacific partnership or aid to low- and middle-income workers. they'll be doing more lobbying behind the scenes. we expect that a volt could come as early as thursday. >> patty, thank you. still ahead on the al jazeera news hour, why nearly 100 were held after a deadly shoot out and are still in custody nearly a month on. and how technology is helping to grow the next generation of entrepreneurs. and china leaving late to beat the netherlands to in the world

iran-nuclear talks. >> i talked to our team in vienna. i'll be fully engaged in those talks. i am now. i haven't missed a tick. i'll be traveling over there in the appropriate moment in the next days in order to press forward at this critical moment. >> well, they announceed additional money. what more can you tell us about that? >> well, it's what kerry did say. he backed up the administration position, which is that currently they potter the plan of iraqi prime minister al abadi's plan to take back territory from isil and in perk

he pointed to these particular points that backing trifle joseph more sunni participation in the fight having the police more aggressive and said there have been more progress. he emphasized that this is a long, tough slog there is no specific plan in place but what they're looking for is a possible ink blot or lily pad approach having american troops or advisory training capacity expand their presence little by little and giving iraqis more confidence and more guidance in how they're going about their operations against the counter

offenses against isil. >> the latest from washington, d.c. thank you. the ruling of a french court puts an end of four years of legal battles that began with a sexual assault charge in new york. barnaby phillips reports. >> dominic never he need that he took part in or gal gys in the france and united states. he insisted it was not his morality on trial and he didn't know the women involved were prostitutes. in the end the court believed him. >> the judgment is out. everyone conceded there was no legal basis to the case. dsk, as he's known in france,

responsible for this craziness. >> michael white is john wilson's attorney. >> what they've done is taken close to 200 people and decided they're all guilty of something because they were there and the number of them were wearing certain jackets. >> 26 days later the majority remain locked up, although a grand jury has not heard their case. texas law allows a person to be detained up to 90 days without an indictment. we reached out to this jail, to the sheriff department, the d.a.'s office and to the city of waco. no one would talk about this case on camera. the city of waco police department did say that the investigation was on going. >> although not indicted all those arrested are charged with engaging and organizing criminal activity. >> to this hour no one has said what the criminal activity might be. usually you're aware of what you're being accused of.
