member states the right of self defense. individually or collectively, if they've been attacked, and in many ways it was similar to an address that he gave in 1999 as prime minister when the second cechen war was about to happen. he said they would hunt these guys down wherever they were. the message was pretty much was the same, we will mont you guys down i wonder why it would have been stage managed in this way and also will it change the way russia moves forward now. >> reporter: this is something many will be asking questions about. how long has the russian government had this information for because clearly russia's actions over the last few weeks have given the impression that they strongly suspected for

quite some time that this plane was brought out of the sky by an explosive. they stopped all flights to and from egypt. they even stopped egypt's state carrier, egypt air, from flying into russia. so clearly russia had severe security concerns about what had happened to this plane. it has been said for some time that the united states and the u.k., saying this is a bomb, so how long had russia had this information for and why has it chosen now to give it out thanks for that. french fighter jets have carried out air strikes on i.s.i.l. positions in raqqa. the attacks in parish which killed a lot. francois hollande has called for a coalition to destroy i.s.i.l. he told the french parliament that the country is at war.

hit them at the core where they're planning these things and also, obviously, to do more on borders and in terms of the movement of people, but the level of cooperation could not be higher. we've agreed even to exchange more information and i'm convinceed that over the course of the next weeks d.a.e.s.h. will feel greater pressure. they have felt it today, yesterday, the day before. we have more territory, d.a.e.s.h. has less. we've taken out leaders. communities in syria, the three-quarters of the border of northern syria is now under the control, is taken away from d.a.e.s.h. we will be working with turkey to close the last portion. so there is a clear strategy in place and step-by-step i'm confident that the momentum will pick up.
