4:02 pm
thank you very much for joining us. we begin with breaking news in israel's government has released its long awaited report into the killing of al jazeera journalist, serene abruptly. the report says there is a high possibility she was accidentally hit by israeli gunfire, while troops were under fire from palestinian gunmen. the israeli army says he did not find any violation of regulations and will not be pursuing any criminal investigation as go lives. who aren't there is natasha. go name. who's in raw? my lie in the occupied west bank on a street that has been named after sharina barkley. natasha a long awaited report almost 4 months after she reads killing. what exactly does it say? well i actually attended a briefing with
4:03 pm
a senior military official and i'll get to tell you more about that in just a little bit. but this is the end of any investigation that could lead to a criminal probe in the death of sharina clay in israel. the military has concluded that no violations occurred and that they are, in fact, their soldiers operated in full compliance with the rules and regulations. a senior military official said, this is a tragic and devastating loss of life. the military offers, it's condolences to serene, but that it's not according to the military possible with 100 percent certainty. to conclude that the bullet that killed serene was fired by an israeli sniper. in fact, the report says that according to its investigation, there is still a chance that a, an armed palestinian might be responsible. the military laid out how it arrived. at this decision, the senior military official said that multiple internal investigations were
4:04 pm
conducted. they even reviewed the investigations that have been conducted by journalists, and it passed the findings along to the military advocate general. and that she determined that a criminal case would not be opened. the senior military official says that he met with the soldier that he told him what happened and quote that if in fact this soldiers shot serene, it was, quote, a mistake. the military describes what happened in jeanine refugee camp on may 11th, as a battlefield, as a volatile situation, and as having their soldiers under fire from every direction. they say that their soldiers were being shot at by armed palestinians, that they were throwing molotov cocktails and bombs at them. and there was about 90 minutes of a gun fight and battle. now the military says that one point the soldiers were confined to their military jeeps that had limited visibility. and again,
4:05 pm
the senior military official is saying the soldier did not target serene. it happened in a blink of an eye and the soldier could not see. she read the military says that reviewed the rules of engagement. it did not find any violations. and that it says with 100 percent certainty that their soldiers did not target sharina or any other journalist. now video shot in the minutes before serene was killed on may 11th, show a column seen with no evidence visually more. even the sounds of gunfire and sharina and her colleagues were wearing helmets and bright blue black jackets. clearly marked press. she was killed in the back of the neck right below her helmet . witness to say, even after serene was laying on the ground and the people were trying to rush to assist her, the shooting continued. how will this report natasha?
4:06 pm
be received by the palestinians and where does the case go from here? well, as i said from the beginning in terms of the israeli military's judicial system, this is the end of the road. this is the israeli military's final word on this. again in their eyes, no crime has been committed. we're waiting for a response from a sharon's family and also the palestinian authority. but since this was not exactly a surprise, i think you, we could probably draw from previous comments. in july sharina family visited with the u. s secretary of state and various members of congress to press the case where accountability and justice for serene. she is palestinian american and they are asking for an f b i investigation. her niece has said previously that the u. s. talked about freedom and democracy, but the same standards don't seem to apply to
4:07 pm
a palestinian american. the legal team with al jazeera english is preparing a case to submit to the international criminal court on behalf of sri. thank you for that, natasha. go named life for a say in ramallah in the occupied west bank. well, let's take a closer look at how the events unfolded. chevy knob lockley was shot in the head while she was on assignment in janine in the occupied west bank on the day of her funeral is ready forces torn the procession and starting beating and started beating. mourners causing pall bearers to nearly drop her coffin palestinian prison mahmoud abbas rejected a proposal for a joint investigation with israel. instead beach national criminal court was asked to investigate her murder in june. a. you an inquiry concluded he's really forces fired the shot that killed sharon by the usa department defended a 3rd party investigation which said it couldn't conclusively determine the origin of the bullet. let us now speak to mary embargo tea who's
4:08 pm
a senior palestinian correspondent for the news website monta advised. he's joining us from ramallah my embargo t. thank you very much for being on august here. if you can hear me, i can tell you what i said there, this report by the israel is not really surprising. they're still not admitting direct responsibility and that the soldiers, despite the numerous investigations we've heard and seen, were responsible for the death of sure enough, watley what. what do you say to this report? i think if anyone expected otherwise, there is there not grounded in reality, this is how the israeli army function, the new regime functions that if they get caught in their crime, they automatically say, oh sorry. it was not intentional as an accident. no, it's very systemic. this is embedded in the strategy of birthing the state of israel since before 940 and it continues. what happened was they got caught in
4:09 pm
their crime. and right now they're trying to get away from it. and this, this also comes especially in light of shooting, being a palestinian as well as an american citizen. and if you read the most recent research, congress briefing, there is a concern amongst american policymakers on the controversy. quote unquote, israel is creating, in terms of bringing down its reputation within the american policy making sector. so i think what's happening right now is we're going to watch israel get away with murder as it has consistently. and if it's, if it's not just about shooting, it's about the dozens of other journalists that israel has killed just yesterday is early forces took into detention, palestinian journalists. lemme little shit in front of her 2 kids who are 5 and 3 years old. so if we thought their investigation was a real one,
4:10 pm
i think then there is a problem in our own assessment of what this regime is. the palestinians, as you know, want this case, an ology 01 this case referred to the international criminal court. could they be recourse there? you say israel has gotten away with it again. but is there anything or any way that palestinians can go to to get dresses for sri? yeah, i think it's if the i c. c, for example, would like to finally prove it's a tooth as a body that was created for this very purpose. then it would give justice for serene. but it's not just about the killing of shooting. and this is about this is that make attack on palestinians by the israeli army who has just completed one of its most exhaustive, inexpensive military training in decades. and also the written collaboration with
4:11 pm
cyprus that did it in collaboration with the american military that it keeps receiving. and i don't think the i c c should just take israel to court for its crime against shitty, but its entire crime against the palestinian people stood in oscar that did not have american citizenship. do you really think that bruce would react the way they did? indeed, you are right to point that out and they had been some pressure from the u. s. government, apparently some reports of justice for suggested for this report to be released. so is this, is this the end of the road? and you think as far as this case, this particular consent? absolutely, no. i don't think that the avenues of justice and accountability resides in expectations from these policy makers who are actually inflicting the, the pain in to provide justice. what i think needs to happen is the most society
4:12 pm
needs to mobilize and citizens of the world need to speak with the representatives and the man that they'd be represented property if they want to be represented as they and population. of course the heart died and support this war mongering. regina then so be it. but if not, if we genuinely want to move forward in terms of a healthier, more just global community than the book society really needs to mobilize, mobilize, and this includes not just civilian journalists that have historically reported wrong on the killing of palestinians. this includes analysts and policy makers and researchers, and this includes artic and include every person, every sector in terms of what they're doing to allow this to perpetuate my and by go, she thank you very much for giving us your reaction. thank you for joining us on al jazeera. here with the news are, if you're just joining, is that we've been reporting on the israel government long awaited report into the
4:13 pm
killing of al jazeera journalist jamal sherry. and actually, they finally released the report nearly 4 months after she read steph, he is jermanti trial with more on what's in the report. the almost whole months of past odyssey or journalist trevino barkley was murdered by an israeli soldier in the occupied westbank, despite repeated calls from human rights organizations and press freedom. advocates for an independent investigation into the killing of shirley and israel has consistently refused even ignoring a call from you or a secretary of state anthony, blinking for such a probe. now israel has released the findings of what it calls an operational investigation. the accused investigating themselves these railey prob, found that quote, there was a high possibility that wallclear was accidentally hit by israeli gunfire that was
4:14 pm
fired towards what's claimed was suspects identified as armed palestinian gunman. however, there has been no evidence to support israel's claim city and was killed in broad daylight whilst wearing clearly marked press protective your eye witness statements and video evidence shows that there was no extraneous fire. and the veteran journalist followed all protocol investigations by algae 0. the new york times and cnn all established that should be and was killed by israeli fire, in what's many say appear to have been a deliberate hit in the media, often also the killing israeli officials changed their narrative 7 times and 24 hours. and now 4 months later, whilst admitting that's one of their soldiers was probably behind the killing, the insist it was a mistake. israeli officials will hope that releasing these findings will help save
4:15 pm
off criticism. but many will question whether or not it will be enough in the course of public opinion. shooting a blacklist as life matters for its parts. all juicy ra has vowed to continue. so you can just this for it's murder john list as history and family. her brother, anton a nice, leaner, have met with members of the u. s. congress and senate treat, hoping for washington's health and seeking justice from ally eric and wood. odyssey right is also part of a wider coalition of media freedom organizations petitioning the international criminal court to look into the case of the slain veteran journalist with other legal avenues. also being explored the since the year 2000 israel has killed almost 50 journalists, an injured countless, more. the occupying power has bombed entire building housing media outlets. and recently rated the officers over internationally recognized human rights organizations and prevented them from doing their work. many fear that unless
4:16 pm
justice is secured for shooting, and bartley and everyone involved in her killing is held accountable, then israeli soldiers will continue to act with impunity, killing whoever they wish. dramatic show yal al jazeera. well, it's not get the reaction of kiva. algo is a columnist with these really daily high res who's joining us from televi. thank you very much for being with us on. i'll just here as we heard danger, mosse report, there was already overwhelming evidence and several investigations that found israel responsible for the death of our colleague. sure, we now block a, what do you make of their findings? is there anything at all in there that stands out for you? well as some of the other guests and before, and there will be a complete impunity again in this case, esther was stated in the idea of spokesman statement. it's an accident, as these rare any ambassador to do. you eh, said,
4:17 pm
responding to the letter of the american lawmakers who insisted investigation, he said that they ignore their background, that israel is fighting a deadly wave of terror attacks. so sharon was unfortunately at the wrong time in the wrong place. and this is kind of, i'm very embarrassed to say so, but worst is right is we'll see this as collateral damage. she was in idaho, a was all, israel is the victim. and now, you know, a journalist happened to be there and done doing their jobs and they have to take into account the year risks that they were being killed or the foreign ministry even use the media are exercising. deborah standards,
4:18 pm
as was stated by one representative of the foreign ministry, and not just really actor soldiers of jonas were killed in the recent years. a course or the grow from ukraine to for their beings. and only when it comes to now, it becomes such a big issue and, but as you say, there are thousands of turn this thing, palestinians in palestine have been attacked by israel. the case actually now blankly attracted a lot of international attention because as i previous guest said she was a palestinian american, she was an al jazeera journalist, a well known janice around the world. you know, if israel can get away with this, surely they'll be getting away with much more when, when does it stop? when does it end on?
4:19 pm
well, in the best case, if i want to be optimistic in november a lot, b. louis to be by a minister, in the worst case, we're going to have a guy a clear way says like it. um, i've been real member of the cabinet and it's on, you know, back to power. and unfortunately, this is the choice of the israeli voters and, and it, and now was there for 12 years and they're good chances according to the balls that in the election in november you will be back in town. so the question is whether it's where we'll have to pay and we're talking about impunity as being and joining the employee for 55 years. so if the international community and 1st and foremost the united states will accept these randy
4:20 pm
explanation that it's, you know, it's an extra day. we're very sorry. and actually if you go free, he's ready statement. we still don't rule out the year possibility that she was shot by by the senior. so i wish that i could say that sharina rosler will be the last victim of the conflict and the, and you, if you question. but i would just add one figure to the discussion. only just is that there isn't any soldier will be good out on trial for getting it is 2 percent of the message to are the is rarely so joe is that you have to put a seniors out the enemy and you don't take chances your life come for us, and if you believe that you're putting your life a drink,
4:21 pm
you kill you shoot. i keep and i thank you for talking to offend and giving us if you there from tel aviv akiva columnists with these really daily, hairy thank you. we'll get plenty more head on this news. our including police in canada are searching for 2 suspects after a series of fabbing attack skill, at least 10 people last few years. the what all will over to him tie up loose as african leaders. me to talk about climate change. we'll look at how liberia's coastline is be washed away. and later in sport, manchester, united, continue their winning run. why ending arsenals perfect start to receive? ah, but 1st to the days avenues and liz stress has been announced, says a new leader of the you case conservative party,
4:22 pm
and will replace boys. johnson has prime minister trust beat. former chancellor wishes tonight by around $20000.00 votes in the leadership contest. in her speech, she promised to tackle the worsening class of living. i will deliver a bold plan to cut taxes and grow our economy. i will deliver on the energy crisis dealing with people's energy bills, but also dealing with the long term issues we have on energy supply and i will deliver on the national health service. al jazeera paul brennan reports now on the political career of britain's incoming prime minister. and what we can expect from this trust is already a familiar face in downing street. she's been a government minister for the past 10 years, serving under and our lasting 3 previous conservative leaders. but her ambition for
4:23 pm
the top job has always been apparent. and now after winning a bitter and bruising leadership contest, she must prove that she can justify that ambition. we are facing an unprecedented problem with light war in ukraine. energy prices rising. amazing in tray, a o, a climate change, the shift to power to the east. is she actually convincing people that she is the person to deal with all of those massive issues? and i think that the jury's very much out on their trust as politics of shifted over the years. born to left wing parents as a child, mistrust was taken along to and to nuclear protests. by the age of 19 though she was a prominent student, member of the centrist liberal democrat party, addressing its 1994 national conference and arguing passionately to abolish the monarchy. because i believe like most liberal democrat in democracy, democracy with a capital d. 2 years later though, trusts had switched her allegiance to the conservative party in 2010,
4:24 pm
she was elected to parliament. and now she is regarded as a leading figure in the parties, right, wink. it means that this is somebody who's really got a political message that they haven't just inherited. they're not just pirating because it's what their parents told them to think they thought about and come to conclusions themselves. i respect that she's and did herself to party members by being comparative and hawkish, sean international issues and unabashedly patriotic stationed on the ukrainian border. comparisons with former prime minister, margaret thatcher had been marked on social media, but seemed deliberately cultivated entrust as meteor appearances. questions persists about lizzy dresses, political judgements, and her convictions ahead of the breaks that referendum. she campaign for britain to remain in the european union. but when the u. k voted to leave, she suddenly became a staunch supporter of breck sit. and i've been other examples from this summer's leadership contest, a major policy on public sector pay, for example,
4:25 pm
was announced comfortably on a monday and then dumped swiftly by tuesday. the problem with list process that you have their massive ego or a huge vanity, a terrific ambition, terrific confidence, but, but no record of any serious intellectual or policy commitment at all. why minister truss has convinced the conservative party members to give her the top job in government. the challenge now is whether she can convince the wider british public to keep her their poll brennan, al jazeera downing street last spring, and john hall in london. now for more reaction and analysis, jonah, yes, this trust a trust, a seasoned of course, and canny political operator. she has served in 3 cabinets in various different guises. most recently, of course, on devoris johnson was, or a secretary, which she still is, of course,
4:26 pm
until she succeeds him formerly after visiting the queen on tuesday, she has remained unfailingly loyal to boris johnson. and in her acceptance speech, you heard a bit of it there. she said she would govern as a conservative. she would cut taxes to boost the economy. she would deal with the energy crisis and the cost of living crisis. and crucially, when the next general election in 2024. let me bring in my guest, are to talk a little bit more about lose trust. chris wilkins works now with audrey strategic advisory, formerly though director of strategy and speech writer for to resume in number 10, dallas re where of course you will have worked alongside with them and got to know this trust what she liked. she's very nice and she's a funny person and somebody who commands great loyalty but also gives break quality . she didn't always get on with my boss to resume, but nevertheless was of a loyal minister. but i think politically and you just touched on it in the speech today, she said she would govern as a conservative,
4:27 pm
and she's always had this really very clear view about what that means for her. that is about that try conservatism. megan i except is one small state low taxes, deregulation, a particular conceptual about what she thinks at the content we should before and wanted to do the country. and i think what we're going to get with her, which maybe we haven't had, and voice johnson argue, even under to his make it a really clear sense of direction where she's trying to take the country. and when she gets them or not is another question. but she'll provide a clean, sensitive act when a huge, huge series of challenges ahead, of course of beast uniting her own bruised and battered party proving she is not just another version of boris johnson. and then dealing with those massive crises out there, the energy costs spiraling lation and economy, which is massively under performing public services in disarray. can she deliver chris at the top so $1000000.00 question. i think you heard again in the speech stage use this range. she said, looking at about deliver, deliver, deliver. and now that we have, this may be quite fancy,
4:28 pm
long egypt contests. vanessa. she has hit the ground running tomorrow with a plan with the energy prices and watch, and the by energy bills. she has to fix the only jess, which the willing form co bid on the aftermath of that. and those are the 2 big immediate priorities. but the longer term thing she wants to do is fix the long running problem with the british economy, which is the lack of productivity. and that's, i think, what she's as her big challenge. but looming on the horizon, 18 months away is the general election. i think what you for today and what you see of next few days is that the general election campaign for the stress of exec rotting really starts today. and she's going be, let me see folks on those 3 things, energy and it just for the tooth. what, well, that's a long do, and it's only 18 months away, but there is a much, much more urgent need to address these priorities. now, energy and inflation. she's got a pretty unorthodox, at least in the past 20 years. economic program on her hands and a very short runway to prove herself. she's not going to be given
4:29 pm
a lot of room for error issues. no short as political honeymoon. we're going to seem to quite some time. she's really got to show results pretty quickly. but you right, isn't an orthodox approach regarding what i've seen in recent years. but i think she would say a lot people around who would say, well, if you have these experts, what would make these predictions? i'm always saying the things about doom and gloom. and it's all going to be a disaster, but actually those experts aren't always right. and she does take different views. she's talking about contacts, isn't people saying, is that the right thing to do when inflation is reagan? she's talking about things like this, about not intervening, and they call me too much. now, it is a different view. it is a more actually view, a more traditional conservative view in that sense. so whether it works or not is the big question, but what you will get is a clear sense of what she's trying to achieve or will vote to the wrong setting a direction even if she hasn't delivered it all. it buys the screen and surgical briefly, crystal to be to alarmist about this, but this is a party with his deposed its last 3 leaders in a row. there are all ready whispers about the possibility that is lou strauss's
4:30 pm
economic program, doesn't work and work very, very quickly. the could be yet another leadership contest what she got this window . i mean, she, she is there until the election. they'll actually like to be able to bring attention before, and if at that point she's begun to deliver them to certainly pitney bowes around. they run that far ahead. slightly ahead, but not that far could be turned around. if she does that was wellness, then she gets along with the job. but there's a very clear that right spring 1224 show the stage she wins. if she doesn't get to us again, but this time in opposition. chris, thank you so much for your time. these are chris wilkins there and a reminder list trust is the new leader of the conservative party stick around. because on tuesday, she will visit the queen, the officially appointed and invited to former golf not. and only that was he took over his prime minister of this country from boris john john r. thank you for that. john hall live in london in afghanistan as suicide. the attack near the russian embassy in cabal has left several people dead. the russian
4:31 pm
foreign ministry says to embassy staff were killed. the bomber detonated explosives near the entrance to the building in the southwestern part of the capitol. witnesses say people were lined up outside the diplomatic compound. at the time, a police spokesman says for afghan civilians were also killed in the attack. authorities in south korea have raised their typhoon load to the highest level as the strongest tropical storm of the year, bears down, and the reaching ty, phone hinder more is expected to make landfall in the port city of wilson. later on monday, it's already hit the ju island where fries were canceled. the storm is also affecting japan's musical islands and it's expected to intensify as it moves over the warm waters of the east. china's sea. now time has started in paris for 8 people accused of involvement in the 2016 bassi day attack in nice 86 people were killed when an attack drove his truck into the crowds. the people had gathered to watch our
4:32 pm
fireworks display live to natasha. butler, embarrassed to mourn this debussy de targeting massage, of course, shocked france. but then what can we expect from astride while proceedings of the gut began in this paris quarter, and there being broadcast live to a special center in the southern city of nice without attack, took place 6 years ago for people who are unable to be here. and pat to in paris to attend. now there are 8 accused, we understand the 7 of them are actually in court. but one of them are we have learned today is in custody in tennessee. and they are all accused of varying degrees of links or of logistical support to the attack. for example, helping him to rent the truck that he used on the night or helping him to obtain a weapon. however, we heard a from a lawyer for the french state at the beginning of these proceedings. he said he wanted to remind the court that this is not a terrorism trial. he said,
4:33 pm
none of those accused are actually accused of terrorism. but they are accused of these various a degrees of logistical support, he said is also very important to post. remember that the main accused, the attacker is dead and therefore, absent from this straw without attacker, was a 31 year old tennessee. and man mohammed law wager below, he drove that 19 ton refrigeration truck for more than 4 minutes down a sweeping boulevard along the coastline. in these people, families come out to watch the fireworks display the bastille day, a public holiday and night, which we should have been a one of light hearted leisure and fun. really turning into a nightmare. 86 people carried hundreds, were injured, and among them so many families, so many children, and anthea, how important then is this triumphal for the victims families? natasha was hugely important. they will of course, be very difficult for them, very hiring. they'll have to re live those terrible moments of 6 years ago. not all
4:34 pm
of them wants to be here for those who are here though, they say that they are hoping to learn more about what happened that night. why it's happened. could it have been prevented? because remember, this attack or in nice is terrible truck attack took place just 8 months after the paris attacks are in november. so 130 people died in those attacks. people wondering often these why on earth wasn't the security tighter on this boulevard around this fireworks display. the police knew though a huge crowd, they knew that people around the country was in a state of emergency. so many questions. some of them might be answered in this trial because we will hear from the form anterior minister bannock has enough interior minister at the time, and also the president of the time of 1st of all, on personally for the victims and survivors. they hope of course, that at the end of this trial, we're expect me to last until december or justice will be served. thank you for that natasha butler live in paris. we want to take you to canyon. our president

ah, the watching al jazeera live from dough as promise reaction not from around my line . the occupied west bank with correspondent natasha. go name after israel release its long awaited report into the killing of al jazeera joan is serene. ab lockley natasha. the report is out and we've heard about the reaction of sharing somebody the family says that they are not surprised, but they are deeply saddened and frustrated. i'm going to read for excerpts from a very lengthy statement. it says that this news, by the israeli military, quote, tries to obscure the truth and avoid responsibility for killing serene. the family says we've known for more than 4 months, but an israeli soldier, shot and killed serene. but quote,
4:51 pm
it is obvious to anyone that is really war. criminals cannot investigate their own crimes. they are asking for a thorough, independent and credible investigation by the united states serene was palestinian american in july. the family visited with us secretary of state antony blake and met with many members of congress to press for accountability and for this investigation and investigation that the biden administration at this point has not been willing to lodge. but the family is saying, this is the bare minimum that the biden administration can do for an american citizen. it's asking that members of the media, civil society, and other politicians in the united states continue to pressure the biden administration for this investigation. now the elder 0 legal team is preparing a case that it hopes to submit to the international criminal court in the hague. and the family has mentioned a support for that. remind our viewers, natasha,
4:52 pm
of what these rallies have found in their investigation. ok, well we just have to mention 1st and foremost that this was not a surprise. this was widely expected. you heard the statement just now from sharon's family. a senior military official tells al jazeera that this was a tragic accident, a devastating loss of life. that if a soldier in fact shot it serene, that it was, quote, a mistake that it values freedom of the press as a democracy, that's a direct quote. and that there it can, they can say with 100 percent certainty that neither serene or any other journalist was targeted. the military conducted several internal investigations and set it as part of those investigations. it also reviewed the investigations of media outlets such as the washington post cnn, among abate, salam, which is
4:53 pm
a human rights group in israel. and it says after a thorough review, it passed on the results of the investigation to a military advocate general. and that individual decided that there had been no violations on the part of the military, and that there would be no reason to launch a criminal investigation. the senior military official, we spoke to said that on may 11th, the soldiers entered jeanine refugee camp to make an arrest and that the refugee camp in their own words became a battlefield that the israelis were being shot at on all sides by all sides. that palestinian armed palestinians rather were throwing bombs and molotov cocktails. and they say at one point the soldiers retreated to their vehicles. and they say that they had limited visibility in the moments before sharina was shot. now this senior military official says that he had spoken to a soldier who it was possibly involved that he explained what happened and that if
4:54 pm
in fact this, roger is responsible for killing sharina, that it was, quote, a mistake. but the israeli military continues to re affirm it's belief that you cannot determine in their minds, unequivocally, that serene was killed by the bullet belonging to an israeli soldier. and in fact says there remains a like a possible chance rather, that an armed palestinian shot and killed serene. now a couple of things to remind our viewers about there was extensive video shot on the day that sharina was killed. and in the video in the minutes leading up to her death, it shows a rather com seen. you don't see any palestinian armed people in the video or idea is did really military soldiers and you don't hear any gun fire. sharina and her colleagues were weary bright blue flak jackets and helmets. clearly marked
4:55 pm
press on the front and the back. sharina was killed in the back of her neck just below her helmet. and witnesses say, even after she was lying on the ground, that the gunfire continued as people try to assist her. very important to point out . indeed, natasha, that there was already overwhelming evidence and several investigations that dispute what this is really report and investigation has found. the question now is, where do the palestinians take the case from here? well i think the palestinians are going to go the same avenue as the elders here, a legal team. they're looking for international out avenues to seek justice for serene. we spoke to a member of a legal human rights group just a bit of time ago and he said, quote, this is not a surprise. you cannot expect the israelis to police themselves. but what is
4:56 pm
important in their minds is that they need to press for accountability. we've reached out to the palestinian authority for comment today we have yet to receive any. but again, i think that palestinians were expecting this. of course, they are deeply disturbed by this. another political analyst said, what happened to serene is something that palestinians are facing every day. it's not getting attention in the media. and he says that this time, at least the world is seeing what's happened in the case of sri. any reaction so far from palestinian authorities? natasha we did reach out to the palestinian authority authority for a comment and we have not received any comment from the palestinian authority as of yet. but previously fully the palestinian authority has said that it is also calling on the international community to help ensure that there is a credible, independent investigation that leads to account ability. but there,
4:57 pm
as far as the is really military is concerned. this is the end. this closes the book in the eyes of the israeli military. there is no crime and there will be no of further steps to take. thank you very much for that, natasha good name reporting there. my from ramallah in the occupied west bank. the latest reaction there. after israel's government released its long awaited report into the killing of al jazeera journalist, serene abruptly, sharon was killed by israeli forces on may 11th 1st. she was a reporting from the occupied west bank in jeanine in their report. these rallies have said that there is a high possibility. she was accidentally hit by israeli gunfire. ah, our troops were under fire from palestinian gunmen. these really army said it did not find any violation of regulations and it will not be pursuing any criminal investigation. the family of sharina block lee has responded to this is really
4:58 pm
statement saying that these are a government and military try to release a statement that obscures the truth and avoid responsibility for the killing of sharing apple. actually that they've known for 4 months now that a nice, really sold a shot and killed serene as countless investigations conducted by various news outlets have shown they reject these findings. in other words, we'll have plenty more in this story, reaction and analysis in just a few minutes on average is here to stay with. ah, the latest news as it breaks, doctors here tell us that they are desperate to get more antibiotics and other medical supplies. for treat those who are injured with detailed coverage for pe walker. then there you and young's a plastic container of their dr. until that demand bag is matt from around the
