cobble. but so the u. s. a defense department effectively says the review says that it acknowledges mistakes, but no one is going to be held accountable. how well, effectively it seems by several news reports that the pentagon has already concluded that there will be no accountability. this in a sec to its way confirmed by the spokesman for the pentagon as well. who said that it's not likely that anybody will be found accountable for the attack. now to take this back and explain the process of what happened here. the inspector general of the air force conducted what was called an independent research into the events in couple which led to the death of 10 civilians. he subsequently found that there was no accountability at such, but he referred that decision to the officers at the command of the,

at the head of the command chain. that is the head of special services and the head of special forces. now they concluded in a report to the secretary of defense, it is said that there is no accountability. the pentagon, previously acknowledging that mistakes were made, the independent research finding that mistakes are made. but now it would appear and confirmed it would appear by the spokesmen for the pentagon, that nobody will be held accountable. now, the military appears to be cloaking this in a veil of technocratic language. already it has acknowledged that procedures in terms of tone strikes are going to be changed in the light of the couple action at the same time, it will not disclose details that will lead to the decision not to hold anybody accountable. saying that these on matter of national security and cannot be made public. so at this particular point, it is all over the investigation appears to be over. nobody is going to be held accountable. the pentagon acknowledges that it has to change its routines in terms

of conducting drone stikes, but like so many before, that have claimed hundreds if not thousands of lives. nobody is going to be held accountable by an attack which the pentagon itself says was a tragic steak. michaela was delicious from washington. that story, mike, thank you. so the come on this half hour. oh, so that means police fire tear gas to disperse thousands of protesters denouncing last month's deal between the prime minister and the military. pensions at the border, a desperate seems in mexico as migrants field are being pushed around on their time . ah

a citizens of this city. that the report shows in great detail how to police repeatedly indiscriminately and disproportionately use live rounds on these protesters in particular, in very poor neighborhoods of this city as. and that's what the report says as if the police had thought that they could kill these young poor people and get away with it. it also accuses the national government and the leadership of the police of failing to stop the officers from doing so. and it also says that this is the failure of the justice system in the country to, to punish these at those responsible for this killings. since most of these officers fail, patrolling the streets of voter authorities and mexico are trying to reduce the number of migrants heading north through the country to the united states. many are being moved to various cities with a promise that their cases will be dealt with. there,

but many others remain stuck in camps or are on the move. and there's minute rappa, low reports now from mexico city. sh tensions are spilling over o a migrant camp in acapulco, mexico, disoriented and exhausted. many seem unsure of why they're here, or where they might be sent next, resettlement, eva e, mid hitler. i was brought here and they told me they would give me a job. they promised me a dream, but it wasn't delivered. welcome. many at this camp or from central america, haiti, and elsewhere on the american continent. they were brought here by immigration authorities enforcing a strategy of relocating migrants to various mexican cities. relocating migrants is one of the most recent policy changes by the mexican government. mexico is also re adopting old policies like the controversial migrant protection protocols, which force us asylum seekers to remain in mexico while their cases are heard. in
