more complicated than they seem when it comes to politicians some people will tell you that he has been planning to resign you know some articles now in the israeli media saying that this was his golden opportunity and that it put the blame of the failures of gaza firmly on benjamin netanyahu and that was technically the opening salvo of the election campaign in these early elections with him now trying to sort of bosc on this and gain more support perhaps getting his party more and more seats in the knesset in the parliament in the upcoming elections of those early elections haven't been called yet but that is the feeling the assumption that will happen having settled this you know we have to remember that what was advised in that cabinet meeting security cabinet meeting from the heads of the army these top echelon people who know the ins and outs of what happens in gaza from the intelligence services was that now was not the time to go to war so this is something that the prime minister decided on and you know the defense minister very

stay with us. i thank all of your now and on to chicago and i was in the

in. my. on the eighth of june nineteenth sixty eight american speech tribute to

a remarkable politician the younger brother of former president john f. kennedy senator robert kennedy had been assassinated three days earlier in the back room of a los angeles hotel. sirhan b. charest her husband was arrested at the scene of the crime in what the los angeles police department the l.a.p.d. thought was an open and shut case. which. time to prove that there was a travesty of justice in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine if search and trial were trying to prove that there was no way that he could have shot the senator let alone killed a senator. my main job right now is putting the truth together that's her hand and not sure

robert can the second gunman that. if you look at him he came to america in the late fifty's as a child as a refugee from palestine. he had quite a tough life growing up and then suddenly he's in the spotlight as the assassin the robert kennedy without remember anything that happened that night. kennedy had authorized the selling of bombers to israel and that incensed him because he was from palestine and he felt the palestinians were getting

a bad rap that's what his lawyers argued in the trial that he was so upset at that that he kind of snapped and went into a self-induced trance and and killed kennedy in a you know moment of rage. i believe that's her hand was a gentle person he had never done a violent thing in this life. when he saw kennedy speak at an earlier event he said it kennedy looked like a saint to him and. it's like this was a man whose politics really lined up with certain hands so it is a weird break for him to suddenly turn out to want to kill the guy who really is

more sympathetic to his cause than any other politician on the american scene sirhan sirhan had no criminal record before robert kennedy's assassination. he wasn't involved in any political activity and the palestinian cause no real traction in the us at that time despite the nine hundred sixty seven war i would think in terms of a case like this properly looking into it and properly looking at a guy who's still in prison and lee harvey oswald obviously was killed two days after the j.f.k. assassination james earl ray the alleged killer of martin luther king he died in the late ninety's so crn is still with us why not investigate his case properly and while there's still time and we can do some something about it. in twenty seventeen u.s. president donald trump ordered the release of all documents relating to the assassination of john f. kennedy robert kennedy's older brother in one thousand nine hundred sixty three these files had remained classified since one thousand nine hundred sixty four.

should anybody not. believe harvey oswald was arrested in dallas but was shot dead two days later live on t.v. and so never went to trial. sirhan sirhan was arrested at the scene of robert kennedy's shooting and sentenced to death in april one thousand nine hundred sixty nine commuted to life imprisonment three years later. but since the nine hundred seventy s. commentators and eyewitnesses have called for a new investigation and in twenty twelve the senator's son robert kennedy jr wrote to the attorney general asking for new evidence to be considered in the case. al-jazeera has now examined the different theories about the assassination and the reasons behind calls for a new investigation into the conviction of her harness nearly fifty years ago.

quite bright a lot of evidence was destroyed a lot of evidence was scandalous or ended. in a case that they in any murder of face to destroy evidence the way they. are and. you know i can't speak for the l.a.p.d. and why. you know they didn't do a better job investigating the case why they destroyed some evidence i don't know.

all the evidence was destroyed after the trial but they had a legal obligation to save the evidence because sir han was going to file an appeal his attorneys work so that evidence under the law should have been preserved for the next for the appeal. and according to the l.a. police department they just didn't have the space to store it. several commentators and witnesses have said the l.a.p.d. lost or he'd evidence or that there was a second gunman. books have been written and different conspiracy theories examined . documents have gone missing and people have toyed taking their evidence with them . and says iraq has gone back to the events of the fifth of june nine hundred sixty eight and heard from eyewitnesses and from journalists who've looked into the case for ten years. it's also examined audio and visual evidence which may not have been

giving enough credence at the time. it's not possible to return to the actual scene of the crime. the ambassador hotel was demolished in two thousand and six and the robert f. kennedy community schools opened on the site in twenty ten. of the schools and memorials now stand near where robert kennedy was assassinated on the evening of the fifth of june one thousand nine hundred sixty. eight just won the primary election to be the california democratic party's nomination for a u.s. president. there was a last minute decision to take a back route out from the main hole through a small kitchen where he was shocked. i saw surge hand prior to the center coming down. when i first saw him i thought he was another

dishwasher. that person. didn't seem unusual to me. he didn't appear out of the ordinary he was just star making small talk with me asking me how long do you think this speech is going to last is it almost over and i just said i don't know. i'd thanks to all of you know it now it's on to chicago and he finished his speech i could hear the applause and then i saw him and his entourage begin walking toward me. the first time i saw us or hand as we

entered the room. where there was a tray stacker here which was sixty eight inches above the ground search ham was on a very tall person so he was standing on top of that there were a bunch of trays but he could still stand on it. so he could see above everybody and could see as the center was progressing. bob was moving on at that point so i was about six feet behind. the senator would have been to my left and i would have been almost parallel to him. walking toward the cooling the room. i was nailing probably about two steps ahead of senator kennedy at that time. i was standing literally within three feet of the senator carl was pulling senator kennedy. i believe by his

left hand which made it awkward for the center because he was shaking with his right hand and curl was grabbing his left pulling him this way. vincent di pietro was very near to kennedy when he was shot but his testimony differs from the other eyewitnesses as abolishing hands and after after he came in i followed him and he started shaking hands with his super as and and. and one romero romero was a hotel worker in the crush of people around kennedy as he moved through the kitchen i was able to shake his hand they need to get out of a step forward to go step by step and a half. and i saw search hand with the gun in his hand coming up

around carl euchre and as he came up he was his hand was outstretched totally outstretched. eyewitnesses say that sirhan raised his right hand holding an eye for johnson today twenty two caliber revolver pointed at kennedy they say serhiy on fire two shots. when i heard the first pop shot which i believe was a shot the first i thought was a firecracker i turned toward my left at that point i saw her hands her hand immediately to my left no one between he and myself holding a gun shooting into the crowd the crowd of people shooting into the direction where

i last seen senator kennedy. carl euchre is a terrific witness he was there closest of anybody he said sir hand came the gun was close to his face sar hand got two shots off and he grabbed him and put the hand on steam table inserted and continued to fire the gun. first it was bang bang and then and then i looked back over there and there were there were commotion going on. i'm not. in the. never heard the other there's a recession. and that's when witnesses told the place we heard two shots a pause and then a flurry of shots and that's pretty much what i heard too. and either johnson kid at twenty two can hold up to eight bullets so after firing the first

two shots sirhan had six left. in the. robot like pulling the trigger until he fired the other six shots. but he had no control over the bullets went over to us. after the shooting he was surrounded by about twenty people that were trying to kill him. and that's why i mean he was in custody by all these guys until the police arrived. back and then i custody now and we do not know who he is he had no identification even is a to make a statement of any kind that they can understand english. a gun it. is in our custody it's

a twenty two caliber eight shot and i eight shots were expended according to the any p.d. report one bullet went through kennedy school without any treating his body it scratched old streets head as he stood right behind kennedy the police found that bullet at the crime scene i got shot not knowing i'd been shot i thought i was being electrocuted too as she was shaking when i went down and so i didn't see bob get shot got shot. actually he didn't at that point. another bullet hit robert kennedy behind his right ear and that was the fetal salt. one more hit him under his right armpit and exited through the top of his shoulder that put energy to hit the ceiling but the police never found it. a fourth bullet also hit kennedy under his right armpit and settled in his spine

and under his neck so that was four bullets serhiy had four more remaining. a fifth bullet hit iraq goldstein in his left thigh and lauch there. and a six bullet hit early installed in his left leg. and a seventh bullet hit william weisel in the stomach and remained there. according to the police report the eighth and final that was fired at the ceiling bouncing back and hitting elizabeth evans in the head then. the police found the sport as well. the first two bullets shooting of missing kennedy sure amy the one two and going westward to goldstein two

shots one through his pant leg and want and do is but one and strolls like that one and two evans forehead that's seven bullets out of a shot revolver how could he have shot robert kennedy four times. on top of charades point evidence offered by two f.b.i. investigators william bailey and duwayne wilford needs taking into account. bailey and wolf are attended the crime scene as soon as the assassination took place. they discovered two more bullets that were not mentioned in the l.a.p.d. report. the next day william daley an f.b.i. agent at the scene is in front is on the front page of all the newspapers pointing to a door frame and in one thousand seven hundred sixty given a sworn statement that he saw two bullet holes in the door frame.

if a second gun is not firing there cannot be any bullet holes in the wooden door frames so the police take those door frames down and they bring them the police station to do work on them to turns out there too many of these bullets represent too many bullets star hands gun holds eight bullets more recent forensic analysis also supports the view that more bullets were fired at the scene than is her hand could have had in his gun but the l.a.p.d. does not appear to have taken that on board then in two thousand and five further evidence. kennedy's fictive speech in the manhole of the hotel was recorded by a polish journalist studies laughed brzezinski. when kennedy's group took that back route out brzezinski followed them but inadvertently carried on recording.

this distorted audio was recorded just outside the kitchen. the it's a very poor quality recording which meant for many years people didn't really analyze it properly so it was only when phil van praag came along and start analyzing in two thousand and five that you know he made a number of very interesting discoveries. the most important of which were there are thirteen shot sounds on the recording. and there were two instances of double shots which means two shots fired so close together they couldn't have come from the same gun. the only way that there was a second god been in a position behind gelati were that the prosecution never proved that surrender was behind kennedy or is able to shoot him point blank. thomas knew gucci was the chief

medical examiner and coroner for los angeles county and performed the autopsy on robert kennedy he submitted a detailed report on the bullets that hit kennedy this is that report and the evidence he gave in court. gunshot number one direction right to left slightly back to front up for gunshot wound number two entry right accelerate region direction right to left back to front up or gunshot wound number three direction right to left back to front of the autopsy report is probably the most decisive evidence that sir am physically could not shock center they've got three shots into the center one shot went through the shoulder pad. all came from behind a senator at point range all shot from the right side an upward angle between thirty and thirty five degrees.

which meant that the shooter was actually dealing down behind property and. when he was firing his gun. however none of the eyewitnesses said that sirhan was low down. furthermore thomas' new report said that the muzzle of the gun that fired the shot that killed kennedy was a maximum of three inches or seven centimeters away from him. at how their burn rate. notes so your viewers understand what powder burns ranges it means the gun was pressed strongly up against either the body or in case of the fatal shot. yes and bob an inch behind the ear karl euchre he said

the saucer hand coming out came very close to him and that gun so had a gun was two feet from kennedy knots or hand the two feet but sir handgun being two feet and that was confirmed by edmund naisi and another assistant maitre d. who was right behind them at that point. so there were different i would use accounts of where's her hand was when he shot kennedy his distance from the senator the number of bullets fired and the coroner's report well you did you choose wrong or the eyewitnesses that said he was two feet away or and yet more evidence emerged to cast doubt on the scene officer hands conviction and then bullets a swab and then evidence was destroyed. you can't make up something like this.

a victory for gaza. i wish to inform you that i'm going to resign my function as the minister of defense of israel why now from what happened yesterday the ceasefire yesterday together with all of the arrangements against hamas is giving into terra there's no other reason no other reason but giving in to terror. israel's prime minister meanwhile has defended his decision to accept an egyptian brokered cease fire with palestinian armed groups benjamin netanyahu said when making decisions crucial to security the public can't always be privy to the considerations that must be hidden from the enemy sri lanka's parliament has passed that no confidence motion against the president's pick for prime minister on tuesday the supreme court blocked president's my promise to resign as attempt to dissolve parliament and call snap elections next year u.s. republican senator lindsey graham has described saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin sandman as unstable and unreliable he says he and other senators are

worlds continues then it's the news hour i'll see you then bye bye. senator robert kennedy was fatally shot on the fifth of june one thousand nine hundred sixty eight after winning the california nomination to be the democratic candidate for president. at jordanian palestinian it said hansei hahn was tried and jailed for his murder but since the nine hundred seventy s. there have been calls for a new investigation based on differing eyewitness accounts the number of shots fired and distance of some han from kennedy when he fired. there seem to be particular discrepancies between eyewitness vincent de pierre a steady money and the report of los angeles county medical examiner and coroner thomas new gucci the gun itself was maybe three or four inches from the head but

certain it was about three approximately three feet away i mean you know i didn't measure that it was an estimate but the court record of vincent de pierre astaire's timony sets i saw those two go off and after the second one i couldn't see because i had blood all over my face the police of a lot of witnesses that said star hand was standing four five six feet in front of bobby kennedy and that didn't quite match up with what nigga we found well you going to get she is wrong or the eyewitnesses said it was two feet away or. that. movie cameras captured scenes in the kitchen immediately after the assassination but arguably the most significant pictures were taken by an amateur photographer and kennedy follower there was a of a teenager scott in york in the pantry that night he had a thirty six millimeter camera. yeah roll film in there for thirty six exposures he was taking pictures. and

yard took pictures before during and after the assassination. the los angeles police. took his camera and film to their labs. they later returned pictures to any art but only those taken before and after the assassination. those n.r. took during the assassination we never turned what happened to those photos. why didn't defense team bastin you never asked for the number of bullets found the angles they'd been shot from and yards disappearing photos all combined to cast reasonable doubt as to whether serhiy was the only gunman in their investigation the ne p.d. also reported that the type of bullets fired was compatible with sirhan scott. and

then they say we can prove this because the bullet and and kennedy's shoulder matched the saran gun. and they were wrong about that but there are they were lying about that as well they say the bullet went into his head which is a fragment. tiny fragment nearly the whole bullet they say that matched the same handgun two. we saw striking asians on that fragment. which is crazy because there are no stray ations on the fragment they can't prove it but that's what they did. before they get before the jury they even lied about that whole charade lisa pease and laurie dusek all cast doubt on

the police findings because they couldn't match the bullets to serve handgun the bullets were switched so that a match could be made and the problem was they couldn't ease their hands gun to make matching bullets because certain gun had been given to the grand jury. and then bullets were swapped and then evidence was destroyed. i.e. can't make up something like this medical examiner thomas knew gucci was never asked to identify the bullets. he only has maintained that the fatal shot was fired at close range while most eyewitnesses setser han was further away. there is a suspicion of that was that was substituted. and that it would have revealed that . at first there was a movement to try to discredit new gucci and that he did say that he had done an incompetent. autopsy well that didn't work because negotiate refused to step down

and in and said he would fight them in court once they realize they're going to have a fight with the karner they switch positions are now said oh well tom the gucci said that the bullets were fired from an inch away so it must be all the witnesses that were wrong so they they switch horses in the middle of the race you know they got rid of him and he was not going to play ball their way because he's an honest man. and he call things the way he saw them. and used very very upset with the whole my view all the way the proceedings when. the question remained as to the number of bullets fired at the scene but also as to why the l.a.p.d. didn't question anyone other than her hand as potential suspects. the police didn't follow any of the leads that that would point to a second gun no one has seen the second shoot we have no eyewitnesses for that how

is that possible right there close space everybody there all these eyewitnesses that are so reliable when it comes to describing what syrian did suddenly fail to be reliable for the second shooter who was right there two inches away from him everyone missed that. same eugene caesar was on the door he was on different doors but. right before the shooting he was on the the the door leading into the kitchen pantry area. he followed kennedy ended with us dot supposed to do it was against orders from from a person who. was supervising a guard for the for the for the hotel u.s. most stay away one as a security guard who was standing behind senator kennedy to his right which is where the shots came from and he did have his gun drawn that night and he also did own a twenty two caliber pistol with the same rifling character a successor pan's gun.

many researchers believe that fane caesar shot kennedy he was certainly in the right position he was close enough so i don't think that he he shot the senator but i think he might have seen something he has been the traditional suspect i'm not convinced that he was the gunman but. it certainly is worth scrutiny. to other figures who are seen in or near the kitchen one michael wayne was initially detained but then released. he was later seen leaving the hotel with the girl wearing epoca doctress. the other suspect is a tall or a dark skinned man who resembles her hand in some respects but was taller than he was who was seen in the pantry and then seen in the pantry with a gun and earlier it's been in the pantry and this search hand in this man we're

looking at each other. that man was seen with a gun and there's at least one witness that said he saw that man shooting a kennedy from behind and that man was seen running from the pantry with the gun and then was seen running away with the girl the polka dot dress down the stairs and out through the parking. lot was the girl in the polka dot dress kennedy campaign. worker valerie schultz or elaine whose husband cleaned to have worked for the cia. you have sandy serrano who saw the polka dot dress girl and this guy coming down the stairways and the girl in the polka dot dress the same we shot it we shot him and serrano looks and she goes who did you shoot and she said we shot senator kennedy and runs off into the darkness of the back side of the hotel.

these people knew kennedy had been shot before anyone around them had known candy had been shot. ok to put it out address the woman in a poke at address. and any other anomaly you want to find in any particular event of of epic proportions like this somebody famous a big political event like an assassination there are going to be lots of little anomalies that become pregnant with meaning because we're looking for something meaningful and you can always find something that sticks out that no one knows has any of it was that person the woman in the poke it out of who knows who knows the prep probably nothing. this woman spent the day with a local chemical sense man who would have the ambassador to sell them chemicals for the hotel she was afraid and she was looking for help for somebody to help her get

a passport. to get out of the country the next day she predicted the killing with accuracy she said they're going to take care of mr kennedy tonight at the winning reception. as a prediction hours before the event occurred. at esperanza hearing in march twenty seventh sarah has her hands account of events was generally quite clear until the actual moment of the shooting. and i remember wanting to agree to get some coffee because i just to make sure that when i brought all that up although there's little chairs that i could so remember

that margaret yes element remember i want to get some coffee get out of the chute yes it will remember that i did it i remember being. being. tackled by people very very almost choked me to death. or should it just this is the way to live and write it i didn't see bobby kennedy then i didn't know what was transpiring because they had me on the table and i think that i came to or be cared began to to to to feel to to sense what was going on so what would you say that we needed they were choking up you know and they would say don't kill it or something so you heard them and i have. some words like they're ok and wishing they could happen i didn't i didn't i didn't want them. illegitimately did not remember those critical moments in twenty leavening sirhan sirhan defense team consulted hypnosis expert dr daniel p.

brown to test the theory that he may have been hypnotize. i used to carry out the kennedy assassination. we had bob the brown from orange and over seventy hours with sir and he is one of the world's leading experts on a mind control and conditioning and that ron after all is all him with sir that is of the mind that he was clearly program. about ten five ten percent of the population is just naturally highly hypnotic they can enter trance states block out feelings and so he clearly was one of these people.

sirhan sirhan defense team use the hypnosis theory as the basis of his final federal appeal in twenty thirteen. but the court rejected the appeal with the judge calling the psychological test results quote of negligible weight he said they were intriguing but fell short of the quote demonstrating that her hand was subjected to mind control. one other detail of the sassy nation should not be overlooked the last minute decision to change the route taken by kennedy out of the main hall. he was asked to go to the press room through the back kitchen but who knew about the change of plan did serhiy on. i don't know how how why at how anybody knew that because of that he said. nobody knew what was the plan i was just change that

the last minute. it's important to try to understand all the facts related to what you're going to try and is it was it just a coincidence that it would i think not. only because coincidences that lead to assassinations of this sort are or my view very first but. who made that decision and why. what explains her han's presence there. was there enough security was so hard working with another individual there were a lot of election parties that night i mean went to one of them at a different location and then you know one stop party was finished you know somebody there told them hey there's a big party down which you want to do you want to check it out so he went down

there to check it out. and then he went back to his car apparently he got his gun and he went back in search of coffee to doubt how was syrian able to get into the pantry with a gun that's an excellent question because there were two a scarves one at each end who are supposed to be making sure that only people who are credential with kenedy credentials were allowed into the kitchen so how did surveying get past them well you know the obvious answer is maybe he had helpers maybe there was somebody who took him and said he's with me maybe it was somebody with a p t one zero nine sirhan sirhan defense attorney was the los angeles criminal lawyer grant cooper. the basis of the defense case that cooper argued was that her hind had committed the crime because he was mentally ill and that he had acted alone. cooper was criticised at the time for the way he dealt with her hands personal writings being used by the prosecution in court.

that notebook should not have been allowed into evidence at the trial because it was taken from the house without a search warrant and the defense team never raised that issue they should have hired a private handwriting expert to look into that. there have been many obstacles in the way mainly his own defense counsel frankly early of early on grant cooper we agreed to all the projects before this is a scandal how this could be allowed to proceed. in a court of law is a scandal but it did was his lawyer told the talk to the jury right at the outset we're not going to try to prove his innocence we believe he's guilty this is the feds. really we just what we're here to try to save his life sirhan sirhan is

defense faced other problems. there have been suggestions that pressure was put on some eyewitnesses to change their stories as in the case of sandra serrano. this audio recording was released long after the trial along with other documents as late as nine hundred eighty eight. she just reported to police what she saw and yet they treated her like a criminal after weeks of bullying or finally she gave up and said i don't know what i saw i testified under oath and unlike the chair protest

that i saw the puppet addressees now you never saw this her and he kept drilling it's my head that i was wrong that i didn't seen that i didn't seem what i was off to the the light checked he turned it off. and you saying look he didn't see the girl in the polka dot dress. why he wanted me to greta that i do not know but i did see the girl with the program address which was valerie sheltie which i did identify in court. they were battering deep to change the story in a in face tape of frank earn and is doing these interrogation he himself is you putting words in my mouth prior part of the problem with police investigations is they too are subject to cognitive biases they think we know who did it and we're only going to pursue this particular case we don't care about all

this other stuff they narrow their focus down to like one person they think that did it and then you know so this goes in support of your case that well maybe they're ignoring you know somebody else that might have been relevant to the case yes that does happen you don't need to have everybody involved in it all you needed the one man that is controlling the investigation. because she decides who's going to be interviewed what's going to be buried what is going to be fabricated and they did it. i sympathize with sam bashara sir and that he took the rap. unfairly unjustly and does honestly on the bet on the part of the prosecution and that story has to be told we have a very strong case based upon not theory not conspiracies but based upon the prosecution's own hard evidence which they tried to destroy

a lot of it but they some of it they didn't destroy and that's going to be useful. he should have been eligible for parole in one thousand nine hundred and he should be released he meets all the qualifications on the california brawl and we have a palestinian assassin with all all that means to american voters and to the polyp politicians who would weigh in no. would weigh their decision making in terms of whether they really want to alienate the jewish voters in america or whatever by their support being seen to support a palestinian assassin i actually don't believe sir hand understood the role he was playing i truly believe from years twenty five years of research that certain hand had been hypnotized by others who wanted to use him as
