a high possibility. she was accidentally hit by israeli troops who were responding to fire from palestinian gunmen. israeli army says he did not find any violation of regulations and it will not be pursuing any criminal investigation. jamal child begins are coverage with this report. oh, almost 4 months have passed since audra 0 journalist trevino barkley was murdered by an israeli soldier in the occupied response. despite repeated calls from human rights organizations and press freedom. advocates for an independent investigation into the killing luxury in israel has consistently refused even ignoring your call from your 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 rarely probe found that quote, there was a high possibility that was clear was accidentally hit by israeli gunfire that was

fired towards what he claimed was suspects identified as armed palestinian gunman. however, there has been no evidence to support israel's claim. kitty was killed in broad daylight whilst wearing clearly marked press protested your eye witness statements and video evidence shows that there was no exchange of fire. and the veteran journalist followed all protocol investigations by algae 0 the new york times. and cnn all established that she was killed by israeli fire, in what's many say appear to have been a deliberate hit in the media aftermath of 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 insists it was

a mistake. israeli officials will hope that releasing these findings will help save off criticism. but many will question whether or not it will be enough in the courts of public opinion. shooting a blacklist as life matters for its parts all g 0 has vowed to continue seeking justice forts, murder journalists, as history and family. her brother, anton a niece, lina, i have met with members of the u. s. congress and senate, hoping for washington's help and seeking justice from its ally, odyssey, or 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. since the year 2000 israel has killed almost 50 journalists, an injured countless, more. the occupying power has been entire buildings. housing lead the outlets, and recently rated the officers or internationally recognized human rights organizations and prevented them from doing their work. many fear that unless

justice is secured for should in a barclay, and everyone involved in her tuning is held accountable than israeli soldiers will continue to act with impunity, killing whoever they wish. jamal al yal algebra. why should we now blacklist, family is accusing the israeli government and military of trying to obscure the truth about what happened in a statement. the family said, as expected, israel has refused to take responsibility for murdering serene. our family is not surprised by this outcome, since it's obvious to anyone that is really war crimes cannot investigate their own crimes. we remain deeply hurt. they say frustrated and disappointed. the statement goes on to call for a thorough, independent and credible he wes, investigation saying that accountability requires action has gone out to natasha. go name was joining us from ramallah. she is in a street that's been re named after she been absolutely. natasha terean's family

said they're in their statement. this is really investigation and it's findings not really a surprise to many people. not a surprise to sharon's family, not a surprise to the policy and authority, not a surprise to the palestinians that we've been speaking to and even not a surprise within the israeli public, it was predicted actually that criminal investigation would not be launched. the thinking being that with everyone in israel, having a family member who has either served or is serving in the israeli military, that even if a, an investigation was lodge, that would publicly name a folder and people would not would be loath to do that. there was also a little precedent of an israeli soldier. being a convicted, there was a case in 2016 where an israeli soldier shot and killed a palestinian man who was already lying on the ground injured. he served 9 months

in prison, but in any event among the palestinian of populace. this was not a surprise. one political analysts we spoke to just a bit ago says this is happening every day to palestinians. it's just not being reported on. and this just shows, according to the analysts that there is little accountability by the israeli a military. now i do want to talk about the briefing that i attended with a senior israeli military official. he offered condolences. he called us a tragic and devastating loss. he says that is real, respect and cherish it is that's a direct quote, freedom of the press. and while in the eyes of the military it cannot be determined with 100 percent certainty than it is really bullet killed, serene. the israeli military official is saying they can say with 100 percent certainty that an israeli soldier did not intentionally target serene or any other

journalist. the senior official said that he had spoken to the soldier involved, that he had relayed what happened and that the soldier had said, if, if indeed he had shot serene that it was a mistake. but from the israeli point of view, this case is closed. there will be no criminal investigation, no means to pursue justice and accountability within israel. latasha. thank you very much for that, natasha. go name, lie for a thin ramallah while it's now here from a mar he josie, who's the assistant minister for multilateral affairs and palestinian ministry of foreign affairs. he's joining us via sky from ramallah. thank you very much for being with us. what is your reaction to the results of this is really investigation? well, i think the presidency has been very, very clear in its position, in relation to this investigation that has been completely rejected. and the evaluation is that this tends to only to allow is to

persist in the community and community and to cover up for its crime. so we'd adjust this investigation shows investigation and believe that did nothing from the beginning. then design was not handling this in the proper manner . just like any other case where there's a kill palestinians, but it has given this case, extra importer, it's just because of the international coverage. otherwise, the ways that really deal with senior life is dismissal. and covering up and encouraging impunity as our reports, natasha said there's 5. israel is concerned, the case is closed and there are those who will say that israel is again getting away with murder. what is the palestinian government going to do? what is your government going to do now to make sure there is justice and

accountability? not just for serene, but for all the palestinians, victims of the occupation. the government has already taken several steps in relation to should is case and in relation to. ready many other cases that are in a couple of things, we have initially joined the international criminal court after knocking all the doors at the security council level and the, the united nation level and not hearing any response from the states responsible to uphold international law. in the occupied but a senior territory. this is why we have our sons taken the initiative to join the international criminal court to allow for our children will be killed the balance of the occupation army to, to, to all those who killed them accountable and responsible for, for their crimes. and the same with the and same with all other policies on recruiting the most recent killed. we are reporting each end of the case,

then the national criminal court and pushing forward to ensure that none of these crimes go on questions and questions and that the perpetrators are accountable for their crimes. sharina barclays family is calling for an independent and credible us investigation because shaheen was palestinian american can incredible investigation come from the us for us nipple? assume we said that it needs to be a national and by, by international standards given the history. and given the fact that the way so far that the united states has dealt with this specific case information, one of the citizens, especially because it this but she's policy and we regret that it is not the same way that the united states deal with, with such similar cases and other places around the world and when the perpetrator

is not really. so for us, that is the national commission of the investigation that has been mandated by the united nation to look into these cases. there is the i c, c and there are several other international about these that can carry on december the issues and partially independently you know, have the case being fully served in the way that, that, that law requires for us, as we said before, we are ready to cooperate with each and every part, but certainly not to cover up for these crimes. and we have to see the united states holding is really accountable for any other crimes and the money that it has that actuated against the felicity and people. so the question is, in the united states hands, whether it is willing to,

to look into this case similar to the way it looks into this, these cases elsewhere in the ward. or it's going to this lucid like it has been doing for the past 75 years of history. it's kind. thank you very much miss emma javi for talking to us. am i easy? assistant minister for multilateral affairs at the palace. new ministry of foreign affairs. thank you very much for your time. and we have another palestinian reaction. this time from the president spokesmen pricing, imprison mahmoud abbas osman, who says the results of the investigation are an attempt by israel to evade responsibility for murdering serene. absolutely. now bill abdulla who dainey said in a statement that israel will not be allowed to escape punishment for its ongoing crimes against palestinian people will not speak to south san zor. here was a human weiss lawyer whose represented palestinians before these really caught a supreme court and she's in heifer adjoining us. ly. thank you very much for being with us. sampson. ah,

many of the people that we've been speaking to in the last hour say they're not surprised by the findings of this is really investigation. they're admitting possibly that an israeli soldier has or accidentally they said killed sharon ab lockley. is there anything at all in this report that you find interesting that you find relevant? i will, i will not turn the did 1st of all, i will not say go over again and all the responses which i agree with the fact that it is conclusion that is a very clear already from the beginning. no need to wait for months for it. the fact that a, all other investigations including the you and human rights office had a read the same conclusion and that, but i think the most interesting thing for him, from my perspective is the fact that why still is well basically it

delivered as such a fusion i think it has a lot to do with preparing its defense arguments before the ice c in case the i c. c decides to open a criminal investigation in israel's responsibility in the case of murdering. she's awfully because the fact of whether israel a shot or didn't shoot, i think also for the israelis, it was obvious from day one that they were the ones. one soldier basically was the one who shot a journalist train abruptly. but today to come and say that there is no intention that there was an immediate threat, that a, they didn't mean to show a shame and that they thought that it was a stimuli percent that was shooting towards the soldiers. that there was no violation to the relation. all this package of such an argument from our legal point of view is basically preparing for a defense when they come to the i see,

see if the i see of course, decides token such an investigation. we will already have a claim of self defense right of immediate that of the fact that there was no intention. and i think that this is the most important thing that should not be acceptable by any a person. and this is why the continuation of a whole day, us international ah, a international independence, an investigation not by the u. s. as the family requires, which i think is a mistake. it's, it's an incorrect the it demand id be health, but ice. you see what should basically get in dust to all the material in spite of israel's arguments and allegation from today in order to reach a accountability for a jackal pollution that there should be criminal, personal responsibility. ah, a put on law is really a army and, and personally,

i think it's interesting. it's interesting. so seeing that you say that this will likely be israel's line of defense. if there is a case at the i see, see if the i c c decides to take on this case. but how credible will this line of defense be when these ready story has changed so many times since the kidding itself? i mean, at 1st they started off by saying that she had been shot by palestinian fighters and then a change over the days and weeks. how credible is this defense? i mean, will any, any sound law expert actually agree to this? i see that a, israel's a behavior in this investigation is not incredible. the question is how to deliver that by the palestinian lawyers and the i c c. the fact that there was a several conclusions from day one. first of all, the hesitation coming back and forth in the investigation and delivering it is basically something that also can show the an credibility if specially of the

palestinian lawyers before the i. c, c can show that this is and they can show because it's very easy to prove that there is a systematic refusal and the political refusal by israel to open criminal investigation . and even if they open criminal investigation on the local level, they don't reach. they almost never reached a situation where they would a basically say that there should be a criminal liability imposed on the assault or that shot until the palestinians are there's no and case in that. now i think that is still, israel has an interest in delivering the conclusion from today because they can show to the i see, see that they have been meeting with 1st condition a of basically trying to negate the jurisdiction of the i. c. c, saying that they had on the local level a been exhausting all legal remedies on the local level. they have basically

a investigated. they have basically checked all the evidence and checked everything . and they got to the conclusion which says what, what we basically heard today. so i will briefly yeah, let me ask you briefly based on past experience, you think the i c c will take on this case? well, 1st of all, i'm not sure i can answer the question i think are basically i the front that i can't answer. the question means a lot because we haven't seen any political positive well on the international level to impose the criminal layout lay ability and accountability on israel in any of the war. crimes that they have conducted in garza and all the palestinian occupied territories throughout the years. the fact that just recently, and there has been a closure and the declaration of the 6 human rights organizations that have been documenting war crimes in order to submit them to the i. c. c. they have been

declared terrorist organization and shut down a by israel, and there has been no support by the international community, no support by the prosecutor of the i c. c. yes, there has been a decision to a, basically, a declared that there is a jurisdiction to the i. c. c to open investigation. but beyond that point, an actual criminal investigation on war crimes by israel in the occupied territory since 2014, until today has not yet been opened. if we compare that the prosecutors a decision regarding opening investigation on war crimes in your brain and the speed of the speed, the decision that he at reach, we can see that there is a huge comparison. a huge political gap in the political will of opening investigations and the case of war crimes towards the palestinians. thank you so

much for talking to a south hans. i hear him and my lawyer joining us safe from ramallah. i phone. i'm sorry. hi. yes, thank you. so much for your time. thank you for your time. or let's now turn our attention to some of these other news here on al jazeera liz stress has been announced as a new leader of the you case conservative party and will will replace boys johnston as prime minister trust beat. former chancellor irish as soon as by around $20000.00 votes in the leadership contest in her speech, she promised to tackle the cost of living class. 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 live to under simmons in london.

andrew, as expected, less stress, has been voted in, tell us more about what she had to say in her 1st speech as leader of the conservative well, it was a small imagine that a lot of people have been predicting, and of course, a 172000 conservative voters on this are compared to the population of the u. k. in excess of a 60000000. it's a small proportion of people in the u. k. voting in a prime minister. she is not prime minister yet. she will go at a bar moral to see the queen in scotland, tomorrow after 4, as johnson, as resigned on tuesday at a to actually accept his resignation. the queen will then make her a, her prime minister, and then liz trust will return here to make her a fuller speech than she did a few hours ago. but she did points as you, her there to delivering and delivering on tax cuts are delivering on

a host of other things. but she mentioned the a point about energy bills. this is the key area with the economy in the u. k. in such a critical states are more than 10 percent inflation and rising recession on the way and a cost of living crisis of massive proportions. people facing energy bills that will be triple at that oven. and only a year ago, that is a real crisis. i think at the reports that suggesting that she will tackle that issue of lowering bills with some sort of fries as a matter of priority this week. possibly that is very likely, but she's got a massive mountain decline, not just on policies, but also and trying to get unity in the party because it wasn't a full when in terms of the 2 horse race. with richie sooner, richie sooner got more votes from mpm in westminster, whereas trust got more votes from members. she has to bring the party together here

. if she is going to get places and she won't have long to do it with the crisis, standing as it is with the economy. and what more do we know about her, and what will be her priorities? i think it's by miss. well the priorities uttered off to get the u. k. through survival in terms of list trust, 47 years of age, not really known throughout the world that she was a foreign minister. she still is at this very moment, sir, but turning into the prime minister in 24 hours. but sir, she isn't that well known. and she started out in a very unusual way, not the classic or old god conservative at all. she has parents who are left wingers, apparently her mother used to take her on a campaign for nuclear disarmament rallies in the 1980s. she was a member of the liberal democratic opposition party when she was the oxford university achieve and went to the 2014 conference and tried to push through

a vote against the monarchy, saying no one should have a birthright to be a royal that which was quite extraordinary, really, when you consider her now about to become prime minister at proper about to get the keys to downing street on tuesday. but that point of unity in the party is all important because the country is divided so badly now. the worst time possible with the economy and inflation, or something like the worst crisis for 40 years. so this is, this is not an easy, easy walk at all or for less trust. and she is of her own admission, not a, a great orator, or she is of her own admission. not like some of the, the charismatic leaders in this world. but she's gritty as she's had a number of posts in the government ministerial post. she's a determined figure, she might surprise people. she's gonna have to pull

a rabbit out of the hat pretty damn quickly with this government. thank you for that. andrew simmons live in london. in kenya, the supreme court has upheld william rooters when in last month's presidential election. his opponent, van veteran, politician, violet, dingo challenged the result, claiming a vote was rates one router spoke right after the ruling saying that he is extending an olive branch of his competitors, including by loudecker competitive electoral politics can make and has made our politics and arina utterly devoid of the of grace, these fearless, the life, or political candidates with rollins, worry and exaggerated sense that the stakes are do or die under elections. therefore, matters of life and death. it poisons political competition. exterminating the sporting spirit which unites we enough and lose us by enabling them to access the

grace to define their relationship in terms of what they share and not what divides them. democracy is expected to unite people, strengthen their society and improve the institutions and must not become an acrimonious, fearful, and desperate enterprise. we offered alternative visions and missions and submitted to the sovereign de zisha of the citizens of kin. we are only competitors, not enemies. in chile, there's been violence between demonstrators and police laughter. voters rejected a proposed new constitution in a referendum. supporters of the new charter express their anger at the vote was police responded with water cannon. the proposed constitution was due to replace the text drawn up during the military dictatorship in the 1980s at opponents argued,

it would only bring instability a latin america as lucy, a newman report, some santiago opponents of chiles. new proposed constitution never dreamed they'd wind sundays referendum by such a wide margin. some toasted the victory. others hunk their horns convinced that the charter would have fan divisions and instability. you're looking at your data, but for our kids. i think the majority of us once a new class citizen and that must be respected 1000000, but it has to be done properly. people, people to that persona, supporters of the proposed text insisted was progressive and cutting edge it guaranteed gender parity, social rights to all allowed abortion and protection of the environment. yet many others believe it when to far, for instance, by recognizing chilling indigenous groups as individual nations. some people,

even from the sent the left that are voting rights or, or rejection of this texas because they fear that this. deborah taylor will be dismembered in somehow voted in this referendum was mandatory, but that's not the only reason why this vote will likely be remembered as the one with the highest citizen participation in killian history. so far. it's an indication of just how much chileans believe that a new constitution has the possibility of changing their lives for better or for worse, humbled by the electoral defeat, left wing president government, but each acknowledged that the proposal he'd supported was not what the people wanted. implementable of when it for me, but i promise that i will do all i can together with congress and members of civil society to present a new constitutional calendar using the lessons of this process to deliver a new text that will interpret the will of the people the referendum has delta,

strong blow to the president, whom many blame for a rise in inflation and crime people such as cecilia who voted against the constitution. normally though, yes, as is said annually, it will be honest. i did not dreaded avia. now the process starts all over again, prolonging uncertainty in the country that needs social and economic change, but can't agree on how much to see in human al jazeera santiago. ah, her again, i'm fully batty ball. with the headlines on al jazeera, israel has released its long awaited report into the killing of al jazeera journeys . sharina watley is as, as a high possibility, she was accidentally hit by is really gunfire. but that he will not pursue any criminal investigation she.
