relieve some of the pressure. the government has implemented daily, nationwide power cuts to conserve when dealing fuel supplies last week, fuel sales were restricted to essential services. schools are also staying close for an extra week because there's not enough petrol to get children and stuff the cloth will get an update from an out for an end. she's joining us from columbus. so the prime minister has been speaking to al jazeera, what he had to say, that's right. he has been reflecting on the situation. it's as much as he's been rolling out in recent days to the public of she lanka. but basically, he talks about the situation in the country, how bad things are, and what the country needs to be doing, especially in terms of talking to international agencies and trying to look for a bailout. let's take a listen to that. when the game in the shortage are dollar really contribute to

this situation we've, we've been taking 15 then especially to get a gas which will be available in the next few days to come into sri lanka. d said furnace issue has been paid for me. and i'll be able to obtain that for the c p. c . exam corporation. and that does take a bit of time as it stands now, it can be 22nd of july before then it keep coming back to revive the minutes then it's trying to get a few months early. we are now buying for a light on the indian credit lane. otherwise we are looking at that in the den for the next year that we are receiving. it's a small amount, but now that if sometimes we get to what a 1000000000 something maybe a 1000000000 and a half, but that's being set aside the rest of our deserve what we've got from the award be

invested. they have to do that. then we are already working on stabilizing the economy and be less believe the economy of thought 40, but to going for the recovery. so that, look, you've done the way i've been talking to some of the country to india, china, japan, you, if you're k, you on that, if needed for 3 lanka, but manually the discussion with world bang and i you so as that you can on a crisis continues to bite me now. how are people that are coping had not very well i'm afraid to arrange for them. the issue is they don't see an end basically to this struggle. as you can see behind me, i'm at a fuel station here in columbia. it's one of the few that actually is dispersing fuel to motorists. there are concurrent cues, obviously one for motor bikes. one for cars, one for 3 wheeler taxes, but the cues,

as you can see, if i just show you over there stretch right down the street. i mean there are literally hundreds of acres that come in to sheds like this, that actually have supplies. not everybody needs, obviously to be given on the fo, fuel. they need to run their they close to do a mix. a my myriad of things. now just across the road, you can see again a queue of motor bikes, right? right. in front of you see a number of bikes, of policeman. they to obviously need their fuel behind that obviously other motorists. and this situation has really affected every single aspect of life. oh, as a we we spoke about, schools are closed, government servants have been told to stay home in a desperate bid to save fuel. it's almost like a lockdown in the country. those who have the limited fuel use it sparingly,

where possible. they do stain in cues like this, and these cues can take either 3 to 4 days. i spoke to a lady earlier on at a different federal shed. she had been in the queue since sunday and she drove out of the shed with 14 liters of fuel of the restriction is something like, you know, a $7000.00 rupees worth of fuel per vehicle. that is for motiv acres. and she was disgusted, literally is the word shoes. so people are really struggling. 2 or the, the 3 will attack, sees actually, that make us out of a daily living really struggling to there. hi. as i spoke to for delivery guy earlier on a motorbike, he says if he queues up for 2 days or so, he might be able to run about 6 or 7 hours on some money from that. but then it's back again for another 2 days. so this is really beginning to bite, and for many, many people,

it is affected this spending capability and things like the food they're able to put on the table for their families. so for sure, lumpkins, we heard the prime minister, obviously in terms of stabilizing the economy, but the immediate need and the trust in the political leadership is, is really at an all time low. all right, thank you so much. michelle fernandez, reporting from colombo, palestinian officials have rejected the findings of a u. s. investigation into the killing of al jazeera journalists should in a block left. the u. s. state department says it's likely she was killed by unintentional gunfire from is really positions, but did not offer clarity on how they reached that conclusion. shitty and was killed in may while reporting on raids and the occupied westbank. stephanie decker reports from west jerusalem was inconclusive. that's the result of the u. s. investigation into fired this bullet that killed palestinian american

journalist sharina blackly in the occupied west bank in may. ah, you, a state department says it was an independent 3rd party examination and pulled it in extremely detailed forensic analysis and continued concluded that gunfire from idea positions likely responsible for the death of shitty in ab lackley. and it added, it found no reason to believe this was intentional, but rather the result of tragic circumstances. terean's family issued a statement saying they were incredulous, considering the numerous witness accounts and investigations by numerous local and international media outlets. human rights groups and the united nations that found in israeli soldier fired the fatal shot the investigation the entire investigation is disappointing, considering the fact that we are not aware of any of the, of the results go process. we were not, there was no transparency. we were not given enough information regarding the

investigation and we had found out about it last minutes. so to us we still continued to call for a transparent and adjust investigation. the palestine in foreign ministry also rejected the findings saying the examination was politicized and had nothing to do with the bullet. israel's entering prime minister, yellow p d tweeted that israel expressed grief about her death o my mom and that these really army cannot determine who was responsible. but there was no intention to harm her because schuval albuterol and would like the defense minister benny dance had this to say, mother to behold. i will like once again to express my sorrow over the death of a journalist, sharina walk. you home the security establishment looks at investigating the truth as a supreme valuable one. regarded in this case on the spot, the laboratory, examination of the bullet one and the relevant rifle. it is not possible to link this bullet to this victim, nor to little rifle. therefore gum, unfortunately, it is not possible to determine who open fire the americans had been putting

pressure on the palestinians for weeks now to hand over the bullet came to put an end to this case ahead of the 1st official visit of us president joe biden. at the end of next week, now they can say that they carried out an independent investigation and despite his being inconclusive, this case is now over. stephanie decker, al jazeera was juice. let's me to john carlo fiorella, who's an investigator, a belin, cat and primary researcher on their investigation into the killing of our journalist . shitty and r block. they're welcome to al jazeera. we'll talk about your investigation in a moment, but 1st you're very well aware of what came out of the us state department saying this, it was an independent 3rd party examination and called it an extremely detailed forensic analysis which included the bullet was to damage to prove who killed city and the by that and if the, if it was so damaged then, then what would they have examined, talk us through this about, well, 1st of all,

thanks for having me on. i should say that i wasn't involved with this investigation and i'm not a forensic weapons expert. i don't think i work with digital evidence. so for this report to say that the bullet was too damaged in order for any kind of conclusive determination to be made from it examination, that's something that's on these experts to conduct this investigation. i think what the statement tells me as an open source investigator is that it is crucial for us to have access to digital evidence that used to be that when a crime was committed, there was only physical evidence of the bullet. there was fiber hair that was left of the crime scene, but now as was the case of the tragic killing of sharina blackly, there is also digital evidence, right? so so what other evidence then would they have looked at to reach this conclusion? as i understand from the statement from the us state department, they were also able to look at the id f,

the israeli defense forces investigation as well as that of the palestinian authority. i think one point that's quite significant for me and this again statement from the state department is that after conducting that review again of both the id f investigation and the investigation by the palestinian authority, they also concluded as we can read in the text that the shooter was likely an idea soldier, so that tells me as a reader that there was nothing in the investigation that was exculpatory, that that showed with certainty that it was not the idea who, who fired the shot that killed sure we know blacklist what also came out in the statement which was particularly a notable is that the u. s. officials and i'm quoting them here. they say they found no reason to believe that this was intentional, but rather it was the result of tragic circumstances would have taken place in that investigation for them to actually come to that conclusion. and to determine that it was unintentional. again,

because i wasn't involved in this particular investigation, i can't speak directly to what the investigators in this case would have looked at . all right, let me talk your thoughts on it. right? certainly what i can tell you is that the investigation that we conducted at belin got and not just us, but also other media organizations like the depressed and new york times cnn. and the new york times, they would have looked at video evidence, which is what we did. and in our review of the video analysis, what we found actually was the person who was shooting at sharina blackly and her colleagues was doing so deliberately. in other words, they would have likely have seen that there was people standing there some distance away from their position, and they would be taking a careful shots at them. so we can't get into the mind of the person who killed sharina blackland that day. obviously, the investigators in this case were unable to get into the mind of the person. no one can. but again, pointing to the open source evidence, we can see that whoever was shooting was taking,

she was taking aim. there were deliberately firing bullets in the direction of blackly on her colleagues as opposed to for example, firing widely without you know, taking a close look at what they were shooting at. tell us more about this, this open source information that you used in your investigation and, and how, how critical it is. so again, i think that's, that really good example here of, of, of unfortunately what, what tends to happen in many cases is that physical evidence is lost or it's unreliable, or the parties don't have access to it in time. and so all that's left, as in this case, is the open source evidence. so open source evidence means any kind of video, any kind of footage, any kind of even sound that was recorded at the scene. and so because sharin was engineering that morning doing her job as a journalist, there were other people near her who were also recording. and unfortunately some of

them captured the moment where she, when she was killed. so looking at the videos on social media like twitter and instagram and tech talk, we were able to reconstruct what happened in a moment, leading up to the instant when she was shot and afterwards. and again, based on our review of this open source evidence, we were able to conclude that the shooter was likely. and the soldier who was part of this con boy, that was station something like a 19200 meters away from the spot where. sure enough, black lay fell. all right, john car, if you're a law, we thank you so much for speaking to us from amsterdam. thank you. well, i'll just you media network continues to demand a rapid, independent and transparent investigation into the killing of city and oxley. plenty more head on the i'll just renew our, including nato grow, bite to war. and what happens now the military alliance signed off on membership applications coming up and horrible. show you how the hydro heard got on in his 1st

tournament in nearly 2 months. ah, but 1st opposition groups and sudan have held an emergency meeting to discuss how to respond to the military's announcement that it's stepping back from talks on forming a new government's military rulers, cold on politicians and civilian groups. the start talks on forming a transitional government, but won't take parts, have been, morgan is joining us from cartoon. so what's the political reaction been to this development? well, lily, all political coalitions have been trying to grapple with the new reality that the military will not be part of the talks that have been facilitated by the african union. the united nations mission here in for dan and the regional. i get body now with the forces of freedom and change group. the national consensus group, which has been the group to stay just sitting in front of the presidential palace

just weekly for the military. it took over power last year. they have the meeting and then held a press conference afterwards saying that while they will come to meet the asian or the facilitation of talk between political parties by the un mission here and by the african union. and by the i got, there's been a lot of ambiguity and a lot of bigness in the statement of the army, which general happen to have 100 sided yesterday. and that they need more explanation to understand what it means. they say that the welcome talk, they want to have talk, they want to form a civilian government and want to proceed ahead with for dance transition. but they also need a lot of explanations from the statements of the general, especially because the protests are still ongoing. and lots of developments have been happening over the past 24 hours in the political scene for them. when the un mission incident announced it will be facilitating talks between the military and political parties. the head of the army agreed to be part of it. but on monday, the general abdel for the home announced the army was withdrawing from the talks

about the military distribution shall not take part in the current the negotiations to give room to the political, under visionary powers and other but through thick and societal parties to agree on a technocrat government from the several community to undertake fors, the coming period of time. and i hope these forces would engage in genuine and serious dialogue to restore the unity of the people and still the country away from any existence or threats. denouncement came of hundreds of anti military protesters, states that him in various parts of the capital to me. for more than 7 months, there's been demanding the military hand over power to a civilian government and returned to the barracks. and we want to end the military rule which has become a burden to the sudanese since of tuba. want to show that most of us are against

military rule. we want the civilian leadership to achieve a democratic transition. sit in is our way of expressing these demand, this it in now when it's 4th day is in front of a hospital where at least one protest was pronounced that from protests on june 30th. 9 people were killed that day. i'm hundreds injured when security forces you here guys and live ammunition, to disperse mass demonstrations. those here i demanding the security forces be held accountable. whether you get anything yet, the more thought that if you look at the people here, what unites them are the deaths of those killed by security forces. we have their pictures everywhere here, and that is why the top demand is justice for those killed political parties who are part of the resistance to military rule. should take note anything that does not include justice and accountability will not be accepted. more than a 100 processes have been killed in anti military demonstration since the military took power last year. the response of security forces to the mass protests on june

30th has resulted in not only one, but 4th attempt to protest as here say, despite the repeated use of force, they will not and their fit then until the demand are met. now, resistance comments, he's the bodies that have been organizing mass protest since the military took over power and have been the ones to organize the citizens in various parts of whom they want to talk to political parties. their whole issue was the fact that the military was part of the talk. and now that the military has withdrawn from the talk, they're ready to sit down with political parties. and to read some kind of an agreement to form a transitional government, but political parties themselves have had their own differences, 4 weeks now in fact, per month. and that was the excuse that the military gave when they took over power last october. that there was a lot of differences between the political parties and that was leading the country into chaos. so it's not clear if with the army withdrawing from the talks after many political parties and pro democracy groups demanding that the step aside from

the political scene. if this will pave some way, for some kind of contention between the polar between the various coalitions and the for various political parties here in for them. alright. have a thank you so much. have a morgan reporting from her to the ukrainian cities of fluffy and gun chroma torres. have come under russ and shelling according to the regions governor. this is after president vladimir putin urge his forces to push on with their offensive and eastern ukraine on sunday. russian troops took control of las a chance. the city was the focus of weeks of fierce fighting, and those residents emerge. the scale of destruction is now becoming clearer, the ukrainian presidents and vowed to retake all area seized by russia. but it won't be an easy task. moscow now control claims control of the whole of the lu. i'm screech and troops are stepping up attacks and neighboring done yet not the next not, but i'm cool. assume you fill in the dentist direction. the enemy's main efforts

focused on establishing control over the territory of the hands creech and within the administrative borders via the enemy is taking measures to restore the transport infrastructure in the rear areas narcotic is coming up and go when the car keith direction. so the enemy is concentrating its main efforts on holding the occupied lines and preventing advance of our trade or ukraine's prime minister has put the cost of rebuilding the countries infrastructure are $3.00 quarters of a trillion dollars. the huge task of reconstructions been the focus of a conference underway in switzerland. alan fisher is joining us from airplane that's just outside the ukrainian capital key. that was one of the worst hit places in the early days of the war. we can certainly see the destruction behind you, and so talk us through what you witness in the area and what's happening with the, with the rebuilding. well, when you talk about $750000000000.00 to rebuild the infrastructure, it sounds like

a lot of money. and that's because it is. there's a lot of things that need to be done because of what happened and what's still happening here in ukraine during the war, though this bridge was blew in a pot by the ukrainians. and the reason they did it is that this is one of the main routes from their pin all the way in to keep the capital, which is about 10 kilometers on the other side. and the reason they did it was to stop the russian advisor. but you remember the pictures from here at the time where the old people struggling to get across the river. they were battling through ross to get on to the safety of this side where they could go to keep the capital where they felt they would be slightly more secure. given the pin was being bombarded by the russians at the time. and its projects like dates that we paid for by international donors. the big things have to be taken care of. like bridges, like the water supply, like roads, all of these have been impacted. but what has happened here in the last 45 months. but it boils down to

a much smaller level than that because we've been speaking to families who are know, are living in a temporary accommodation. they've lost everything they were in homes that were hit by russian rockets or by bombs or by motors. and they now have nothing left. and so each of these families are hoping that at some point, they'll be able to move into a home. and to do that, the government has to build them and that costs money as well. no. you remember right at the start of the war, a lot of people left the country, some 6000000 people know. i said of ukraine, around 8000000 people are internally displaced. and a lot of them haven't seen their homes and they will go back to houses. that have been destroyed, there is nothing left, there is nothing there for them and to rebuild them. maybe just too dangerous and those buildings will have to be pulled down. and so that will cost money as well. so that is why the ukrainians are asking the international community because of projects like this to fun, $750000000000.00. and of course that figure me well, who up if this war continues for much longer or at alan?

thank you so much. alan fisher reporting from air pin or nato. her signed off on the accession protocols for a sweden and finland. the nordic countries had been neutral for decades, but pushed from membership. after russia invaded ukraine. nato leaders made the decision to fast track the process at their summit. in madrid's last week, this is on historic day for fillum, for sweden, for natal, aren't for you to atlantic security, finland and sweden will make strong, unimportant contributions to our alliance. our forces are interoperable they have trained, exercised and served together for many years. we share the same values and we've faced the same challenges in the baltic sea and the on let's find out

more of what was said during that press conference for the sector in general of nato and spring. and roy challenge, he's joining us from london with more on that, rory what if all goes well, the 30 members of nato seemed to be joined by 2 more. 32 will be the title, sweden, and finland for so long, neutral, poised to join the atlantic treaty organization and basically to become full members. all of the parties are speaking, this press conference were what praising this were saying that it was necessary that it was a response really to the russian invasion of ukraine, that this had ended peace in europe and the accession request of finland. and sweden was basically a response to russia's actions that because of the long history of working together,

sweden and finland would slot it and pretty well into the night. so framework they've trained together many times before despite being technically neutral and therefore. ready they would be a good fit, they would enhance the security of both the countries themselves and in sweden. but also they would benefit the nato alliance in general. and our better helicopter the peace and security of the european continents and the euro atlantic area. so that everyone, the head, as you might expect, was say that this was a good thing and timely. so are there any potential hitches to full membership for the 2 countries, or is it now plain sailing from here on well, there are certainly hitches that could come along the way. and the most notable one is of course turkey. so the process that happens now is that the

of the accession basically has to go away and be ratified in the parliaments of all the c member countries. now turkey and finland and sweden signs a memorandum together the madrid some some days ago. so i have been saying that it could throw this banner in the work because it does not like what it feels is. nate is finan sweden's friendliness towards organizations that talk he says, terrorist group, so the p k, k and y, p g. and also the goodness movement, he would like extra additions to happen from finland and sweden, all members of these organizations to turkey. now the memorandum the, the country side basically says that that finland and sweden will help out in his

fight against terrorism. but there is still the potential for turkey to object to for his parliaments, to say that no, it doesn't want finland and sweden to be members of nato. that was a question of the press conference about whether sweden would be willing to make these ex traditions. and the foreign minister of sweden at linda said that any expeditions would be along the lines a swedish and international law. and also that sweden doesn't to extradite swedish citizen, so you, there are potential problems down the track, but at the moment, this is a good day for nice. thank you so much for italians. reporting from london still had on the al jazeera news, our torrential rain tens of thousands of people on evacuation alerts and more downpours and the forecasts for eastern australia flipping the on the switch on the

$400000.00 a day because of the strike. it's also creating problems for citizens who are unable to do necessary paperwork. but state employee like much of the population, say their salaries are now worthless after the local currency, the lira crushed lam, y'all. we can no longer reach our place of work because of high transportation costs. we can't afford the basic necessities. our salaries are worth $50.00 to $60.00. the government has not dealt with this issue in a serious manner. even though more than a 1000000 people are affected, there is no official figure, but it leaves the lebanese state employees nearly 350000 people. but international financial institutions say it is overstaffed corrupt and used by the political class as a tool to win loyalty and other that it's very large for the size of the country. it constitutes 25 percent of the workforce, but any dismissal will lead to a social catastrophe. unemployment is about 38 percent and there are no jobs into

service compensation is also worthless because of the currency valuation. for many years, public wages and benefits constituted more than 35 percent of government spending. many warned, against a pay rise out a comprehensive recovery plan. reforming state institutions and fighting corruption are the only way to unlock for and support and trigger growth. but politicians are refusing to do that. instead, they are locked in a new struggle about power in the next cabinets. employees say they won't return to work until their demands are met, but the government has little options. it doesn't have enough sources of revenue. it can't impose more taxes on an impoverished population, and it can't print more money without causing further inflation than their ushers either. they route. so un mission and libya says there could be dozens of mass graves lying undiscovered in a town where hundreds of bodies have already been found. it's urging libby and

authorities to keep searching for remains and horner buried by forces loyal to world valley for half of grieving families. of those still missing are also demanding formal identification. malik train report hammered and who has last 8 of his relatives, including his son. they were kidnapped by the l. kenny at militia, in the city of to horner. they controlled the city during war locally for half dollars failed. 14 months military campaign against tripoli in 2019 for more than 2 years. he's been searching for a son. he says the government should do more from either kind of a wash. what happened in there who now was a huge massacre. over $1000.00 people are missing and they're only found around 202300 bodies. the rest are still missing. families want to know if their children are siblings or dead or alive. this is a government responsibility. when government forces retook to luna and 2020

authorities found mass graves evidence pointed to the elkin yet militia that blacklisted by the us nearly 50 mass graves have been found and 247 bodies on earth. those bodies are brought here to this laboratory, run by the surgeon identification authority for dna test. they've identified a 160 bodies through dna test. $137.00 of them are from mass graves in the city of the room. with more than 350 people registered as missing and to lunar family member, say the government has been slow to identify the bodies of those recovered. but officials here they, it's a complicated and time consuming process. i not allowed them had on samples. are very difficult and challenging to analyze because the corpses were buried some the bone tissue as decayed due to environmental conditions. it takes time to get a good dna sample. abdul harkins, brother, a worker, a father of 2,

was also kidnapped by the earl can yet militia. he says his family suspected his brother had been killed, but still spent months looking for him. a little i spent over a year with my brother messing it's a bad feeling when you don't know if you brothers alive or dead. when his body was identified for d and i tasted hers, the hardest part was telling my mother and his wife. but after burying him, i was able to relax. for many families into horner, there is no choice but to wait and see if their loved ones are among the dead. for how does her came and his family? there is grief. but finally, an end to uncertainty while trina al jazeera chablis, the large hadron collider at sir is turning on again after years of upgrades built underground and switzerland, it fires to beams of protons at nearly the speed of flight around the 27 kilometer long tube. and it's best known for discovering the higgs boston in 2012,

the particle explained why matter has mass. but the collider has revealed other fundamental forces as well, like those behind radioactivity and even how stars shine certain scientists generated the 1st atoms of anti matter in 1995. now they can study it will be on the lab, sir. and scientist created the world wide web and have advanced technology is used in medical imaging speak to mike lamar, concerns director for accelerators and technology. he's joining us from geneva. welcome to al jazeera sir. so as we're saying, the world's biggest particle accelerator will be fired up again next week after after year is off not being so how significant is this resource for trust story significance, as you say, we've been off for about 3 years now. some delays, june to to cove it, but spent the last 2 months setting things out. and if i us off the moon, if,

if we fix a pro, an ongoing problem, we'll start to take he again, for what we call run the tree. so this will take us through to the end of $25.00. so really flat out data collection and experiments for the next 3 and a half years. right. and, and what are you hoping to discover this time around? yes, good, good question. so wrong 3, we're going to be hoping to provide a lot more data and even higher energies. first on the list, if you said we are, is 10 years since the announcement of the picks discovery yesterday, we are the day of celebration which a physicist with a series of talks. and whenever a well no in the radical instance could name a connie homage from princeton telling us that higgs is already new physics. we've never seen anything like it. and he was telling us that we should put it under

a microscope study to dest. there we see this is a potential doorway to new physics, so that really is top of the top of the list. and we also know that don't matters out there. so this is 85 percent of the master of the universe. and we really don't know what it is and the search is really on. so the expert alex experiments really big, imaginative, and looking everywhere they can. right? so you'll be looking to solve the mysteries of the universe. then i take it from you. i mean, tell us there are, there are lots of investments that have been made into the large hadron collider. but what sorts of benefits does it give? does it give us very good question. very good question. we we have, as you mentioned already in a significant effort to the knowledge trans routes and you mentioned the world wide web which, which itself is almost 30 years old. now, of course we,

we push out into the european industry. we push out into the, into not just medical imaging but also agile therapy, radiotherapy and the like. and in fact, in fact, in a while, since we've seen as a research in bas structure, we, you know, we're, we're a driver of discovery of innovation. societal impact is considerable and, and really, you know, the net benefit is, can be quantified and is called toys in hard time, actual terms. and so overall we're seen by the people who provide the money, who fund this as, as you know, as a high prestige generator of innovation and knowledge. ok, we thank you so much mike. on, on for is running from geneva. thank you. still ahead on the al jazeera news hour, the sportsman's and england's professors are eyeing a famous victory over india. we'll have the latest. i'm just a moment. i'm
