see from the minerals beneath the land, he must navigate the age old, tribal disputes above it. ah, witness. golden lie. on al jazeera ah. the u. s. s. forensic examination of the bullet, the killed al jazeera journalist, sharina black lack is inconclusive, but it's likely she died from israeli army gunfire. the entire investigation is pointing, considering the fact that we are not aware of any of the, of the process we were not. there was no transparency sharina family rejects the u . s. investigation and calls for an independent inquiry into her killing. ah,
8:01 pm
i'm the parker. this is al jazeera life window are also coming up. sedans, military leader says they are withdrawing from national talks with political and civil society groups. i'm warnings of 12 hour traffic jams in the united kingdom as drivers protests against the rising cost of fuel. ah, the 1st would begin with the investigation into the bullet that killed our journalist, sharina ratcliffe. the us state department says a 3rd party examination of the fragment has been inconclusive. but it says gunfire from israeli army positions was likely responsible for her death in may. however, the palestinian attorney general has issued a statement saying he surprised by the u. s. comments that the bullet was severely damaged and that this is not true or crum. i'll katia said the targeting of abala.
8:02 pm
claire was deliberate and the you a statement saying her kidding wasn't intentional? is unacceptable. how khattab went on to say palestinian findings were based on a set of irrefutable evidence which included technical reports examinations, an eye witness, testimonies. b nabarra close one of sharina black, las nieces, she says sharon's family will continue to fight for accountability and justice from day one, israel has been trying to change the narrative and using the bullet has been there one of their many narratives. but at the end of the day, this is not the end, the results that concluded that the bullet is can not be determined if it was from the really side to us. so that's just the investigation. the entire investigation is pointing, considering the fact that we are not aware of any of the, of the process. we were not, there was no transparency. we were not given enough information regarding the
8:03 pm
investigation and we have found out about that last minute. so to us, we still continue to call for a transparency and adjust investigation. and recall on the un, especially the i c. c to handle the case of shooting with the same enthusiasm that has been showing through ukraine as the rights for the soul. so regarding the result it is intentional. yes, shooting was killed intentionally while the us claimed that the, that the bullet was likely from israeli soldiers does provide us with some kind of a cold comfort. but that's not enough. we still call for accountability. we still call for justice and for the us to actually carry out an independent investigation free from any political pressure and to provide its citizenship. barkley, the right investigation that she deserves. as a citizen, there's so much more that can be done from the, from,
8:04 pm
from state as they have their obligation. 3rd, states have an obligation to protect human rights violations everywhere. and this is their obligation to talk about what happened shooting up to hold israel accountable. and 2nd, all journalist should also pick up their platforms and to continue to advocate because shooting at the end of the was a journalist and she was target and that she's not the 1st journalist and not the last to be killed by israeli forces. okay, we'll get reaction from mike, how in washington dc. same, but 1st let's go to stephanie decker in west teresa little stephanie, he do get the sense, listening to members of sure you never walk this family there, that they feel that this is very much a political decision by the united states. what does this mean for hopes of justice in the case of sure enough, reckless i think very little and, and soon after we heard that the bullet had been transferred from the palestinians
8:05 pm
to the americans. the family immediately issued a statement saying they, they hadn't been told. so they are ready complaining, then have a lack of transparency and that was reiterated in a statement issued by the family. soon after. these findings were given, where they said that they were incredulous. as to the findings, exciting then, particularly, you know, various investigations from local and international media and also human rights organizations and the united nations all finding a to there are investigations that it was a bullet fired by his ready soldier that killed shitty, publicly. it's the same sentiment across the board really from palestinians, if it's the ordinary man on the street to the upper echelons of government. the palestinian foreign ministry issued a statement saying that they rejected the findings that they were politicized. of course the americans have been pushing the palestinians to hand over the bullets they wanted to carry out this investigation, palestinians making it very clear to the americans that they didn't want these radius to be involved while israelis did carry out the investigation. we've heard
8:06 pm
also from the interim prime minister. yeah. le, pete and also from benny ganz, the defense minister, both saying that they regret her killing of that the army cannot determine who's responsible and that certainly she wasn't targeted. so i think when it comes to the americans, regardless of the, of their findings being inconclusive ahead of jo biden's visit the u. s. president's 1st visit to the region at the end of next week. they, i think, can say that they have, you know, carried out an extensive independent investigation and are able to put it to bed. but i don't think the calls are going to go away from the palestinians and her family for an independent investigation. but just briefly, you know, these kinds of investigations, you need the bullet to be linked to the weapon. and from what we understand, what we're hearing is that they couldn't or say they couldn't link those to. so it's going to be very difficult for anyone else to determine that the certainly according to the palestinians, one who is on the ground and a multiple different investigation saying that all at pointing the finger at in
8:07 pm
israeli soldier having fired that bullet. stephanie decker was traced them. thank you. let's bring it, mike hannon knows in washington, d. c. or mike, as we heard there, this analysis seems to raise a whole load of new questions or answers some, as you get the sense, the usaa authorities to try to draw a line under all of this. well, a statement that is as inconclusive as this would appear to indicate that now there's been no form or political reaction as yet congress is in recess. this is a national holiday in the united states. president biden is on his way back to the white house. he should be arriving there the next hour or so, and perhaps there will be some response from him. but certainly, members of congress had put a lot of pressure on the administration to conduct a thorough investigation into the murder and saying as well that it was necessary to hold people accountable mouth. the congress is largely pro israeli, but still there were a number of voices calling for an independent investigation,
8:08 pm
calling for the us to involve itself in finding out exactly what happened and apportioning accountability for the shooting. so now you've got a situation where there is a totally inconclusive report. there are questions raised, as you say, let me just quote, directly from the state department statement in which it says the us found no reason to believe that this was intentional. but rather the result of tragic circumstances during an army led raid against affections of palestinian islamic jihad. now this raises many questions. once again, the statement stating very clearly there was no intent. it believes as saying as well that this is cap characterized as a tragic mistake. now, this is something that has been seized on by human rights organizations already as saying that this goes to show that this income swivel port is in the form of a whitewash. the reason for this being the u. s. once the whole matter behind it,
8:09 pm
pending president biden a visit to the region next week, but they are going to be questions raised once congress returns from its recess. and certainly there are gain could be more calls for accountability to be apportioned in the killing my camera in washington dc. thank you. bow sedans, military leaders, as the army is withdrawing from ongoing talks with political and civil society. groups are dull, fatter. album says it's to allow non military leaders to discuss, forming a technocratic government to lead a transition to civilian rule. the announcement happened on the 4th day of mass, anti military protest, a crime down on thursday, killed 9 people last the largest single day dest. how's the military takeover in october or here? but morgan joins us now live from mc cartoon. huber will the announcement by the
8:10 pm
army chief and this wave of recent protests. and of course this political deadlock while processes have been very clear about their demands, they don't want the military to remain in power with the statement from the head of the army general at the foot there. uh huh. it's clear that the army will remain in charge and till political parties reach some sorts of consensus to form a transitional government and to set a deadline for elections that doesn't go down well with the protests as they've been demanding for 7 months now that they want to see the military remove before they see any form of negotiation happening between political parties to form a transitional government led by civilians. now when it comes to the political parties, they've been having issues reaching that consensus. and let's not forget that on the day of the takeover, general adam for the elbow hunt said it was political differences between the parties that led the army to take over power and dissolve the transitional government that was meant to lead sudan to democracy. now some pro democracy groups and some are political parties,
8:11 pm
have refused to negotiate and or sit down at one table with other political parties saying that they had supported the military takeover that they were against democracy and against adam's transition. so this differences between political parties is very hard to, to try to end at the women, especially because they knighted nations mission here and the african union. and the regional i got body has been trying for weeks now to get them to a roundtable negotiation to find a way out. so while the army has said that they will be stepping down once the transitional government is formed and wanted the political consensus reaching that political consensus at the moment has its challenges. herbert morgan been called to him. thank you. ok, we have some news just into us here. hon al jazeera from the united states are coming from chicago where their reports of multiple people have been shot during a 4th of july parade. near the city of chicago. it happened in a suburb called highland park. witnesses say they heard dozens of shots being fired
