waging against the united europe. this is precisely how it should be perceived and they don't care what will happen to the people or how they will suffer from hunger g to the blockading of ports, or from winter cold and poverty, or from occupation. these are just different forms of terror. yeah, coolness does that. nearly half of all the gas europe needs comes from russia. the supply is now down to relative trickle. come winter, if your pin countries don't have enough supplies toward up and time rations will almost settle him, mean a struggle to heat homes and power cities. barbara anger per hour to sarah relatives of murdered al jazeera journalist. surely no, boy, claire have met the u. s. secretary of state in washington to demand accountability for her death, sharyn was shot in the head by his really forces while she was on assignment in the occupied west bank archers. here as chicago tansy met sharon's niece, lena abruptly. well,

we continue to reiterate our demands and our concerns, especially regarding the 4th of july statement that was released. it was not an investigation. and we expressed how damaging it was to the truth and to all the multiple reports that were released ah, by respect of news outlet, and most importantly by the u. n. o, we clearly demanded an independent and a transparent investigation by the u. s. considering that she didn't, wasn't american citizen, we also asked for accountability. and the justice wasn't really acknowledgment there about how absurd it seemed. when the u. s. government said that they couldn't make any definitive judgment about who killed shriek, and yet they decided it wasn't dumb on caucus. by the idea of was, was that contradiction discourse perhaps what we asked for them to retract or to correct the statement of considering the fact that it lacked the evidence,

it lack transparency and the, until today we were never aware of how the process went and the secretary blink and he, he said he's committed to providing us transparency moving forward with any process that involves the case of shooting. or is there a timeline though, as to, are they going to furniture information as to exactly what role that, how did these investigations and whether they really went forensically over the evidence? so there was no timeline. no, we were not given a deadline as to when we would receive information. we will continue to ask for accountability tanf for you as lead investigation that is transparent and independent because that statement was not an investigation. we weren't the only ones who are not satisfied, but even us senators. and members of congress expressed that in a letter they sent out to the, to the present. so we are expecting an independent investigation and justice

for shit in but finally, do you think they're taking this seriously or is this now a public relations exercise? they've decided they're not going to make these ready is uncomfortable in any way. i'm just trying to get through this without, well, we are hoping that this is taken seriously of we are hoping to see meaningful action and not just statements, but we want to see action. we want to see accountability. so we can prevent this from happening to other american palestinian citizens or palestinians in general. and shitty. it was a who, she was a human being at the end of the day. so she needs to be protected. journalists have to be protected, and it's important for us that the u. s. administration takes this seriously. we also requested her to meet with the president since he did not meet with us when we were back in when we were back in palestine. and the meeting with the president

would show us that the u. s. is taking this matter seriously to rival meetings in washington dc have illustrated the divide within the republican party. former president donald trump spoke with one on its former vice president, addressed another political, hey. as for january 20th, 2021 president donald trump left washington. now about a year and a half later, he's back to his address similar to one's, he's been given painting a dark picture of the country. but one full of falsehoods. under the democratic rule, in democrat run cities, democrat run stage and a democrat run federal government. a criminals have been given free reign more than ever before. in reality, in the 10 states, with the highest homicide rates, 7 are run by republicans. 3 democrats later in our countries up 51

percent. it's not the latest statistic, say it's up about 30 percent according to the centers for disease control and prevention. there were lies about the state of the economy and what he accomplished in office. and the fact that he lost the election. but still, there were chance of 4 more years not far away. one of the men who would like a chance to be the next president, former vice president mike pence made his pitch subtly distancing himself from his former bosses'. i don't, i don't know that the president and i differ on issues, but we may differ on focus. i truly do believe that elections are about future. it's not just trump who is focusing on the past attorney general mer garland, the man who will decide if trump's should be criminally charged for his role. in january 6, insurrection says if trump runs again and which trump hinted at during this speech,

it won't stop him. from filing charges like we pursue justice without fear or favor, we intend to hold every one. anyone who was criminally responsible for events surrounding january 6, 4. and he attempt to interfere with the lawful transfer power from one administration to another accountable. that's what we do. we don't pay any attention to other issues with respect to that, and we started to see more former trump officials walk out after talking to a grand jury in washington. indications that a trump criminal indictment is at least a possibility. patty, calling al jazeera washington. iraq's foreign minister says the un security council should carry out an independent investigation into an attack on its northern kurdish region. last week, 9 people were killed, including tourists and children. iraq has blamed turkey for the attack and
