coalition of oppressors as he did indeed mention earlier, they see trade groups such as apec basically helping only big corporations. they say they are the ones who are meant to be helped. it is precisely that point that this year's apec summit is trying to address. they want to create more inclusive economy as well as shortening or, rather, lessening the wealth gap, not just internal lee in each apeck economy but along the apec economic. it's the first time the apec economic leaders have sat down together to meet. they expect to come up with some sort of draft by the end of the day to claim exactly how they intend to make the economies more inclusive for the people that are out on the streets will feel more included in the growth nat apec economy are striving for. >> isil has published a picture of the bomb it says brought down

an russian liner killing all 224 people on board last month. the group said lack security at the airport allowed it to smuggle the explosives on the plane. rory challands reports. >> an every day term. this is the can of soft drink isil claims it used to bring down a russian airliner. beside it, what appears to be a detonater, power source and switch. one bomb expert said the claim is credible. inside the can, itself, if it's full to capacity, probably two to three grams of high explosive in there. this is a viable device. certainly it's the sort of thing that if it was placed in the optimum position could potentially destroy the aircraft, cause catastrophic failure and breach the shell of the aircraft at 30,000 feet going to cause it to disintegrate. isil displayed it on it's

england magazine saying it was revenge for the bombing of territory it controls by russia and western country. the metro jet air bus broke up over the sinai killing everyone on board on october 31st. on tuesday, russia said it believed a bomb was to blame, a conclusion several western governments haul already reached. president vladimir putin has offered a $15 million reward for information lead to go those who destroyed the jet. isil claims to have exploited a loop hole at sharmel sheik airport to smuggling it on board. >> it tells you isis can operate away from syria, away from iraq and north sinai because the operation happened south of sinai and, also, the capacity to bring down an airliner is very -- al-qaeda has been attempting to do that since

after 9/11. >> since the crash, shaz has stepped up airstrikes on isil and other opposition groups in syria. isil said it had planned to target a western aircraft but changed it's mind in reaction to russian bombardment. the release of the photo raises more difficult questions for egypt and the security at the airports. yet, it has given no official reason why it thinks the plane crashed, calling on all sides to await the results of an official egyptian investigation. now, even if this photo is of the very device that brought down the russian airliner, i am not sure that there is a huge amount of information that may glean from this feet to that goes beyond what the russians know and that's perhaps why the kremlin hasn't really said too much about it. it has acknowledged that it's seen the photo. behind that, it hasn't said very much at all. if you look at this picture, it shows a very rough and rallied

looking device. on tuesday, alexander bornikov, the head of the f sp was showing on television this was probably a homemade explosive device. if you look at the photo, it looks pretty small. he was also saying he didn't think this device was much more than one kilogram or its equivalent of tnd. perhaps if you are a particularly sharp-eyed bomb expert, you could find something from maybe the can or looking at the electrical components here, but i think the big questions still remain, and those questions are: who are the people that will planted this bomb on the plane? how did they get it there? what were these scald security loopholes at sharmel sheik airport that were exploited? and where are those people who planted this bomb now? if those questions do have answers, they aren't yet in the public dom ane. >> egypt's tourism ministry is using prominent actors to report

the city of sharmal sheik as safe. >> britain has halted flights to the country and they say it could have happened anywhere. >> our country is a country of peace and is safe. what happened here is, of course, sad. about you it could have happened anywhere, not egypt alone. they can see what terry rim is doing to other countries. in france and before that, explosion in lebanon in syria, yemen and iraq. >> china says one of its citizens who was kidnapped in syria has been killed by isil, 50s-year-old san jan hul was a freelance consultant. isil claims to have killed a norwegian. they demanded a ransom for the release of the men two months ago. norway's prime minister has condemned the killings. >> there is no excuse for the treatment our countrymen have been expose did to.

neither in religion or in ideology. this is a cold-blooded murder and the government strongly condemns the killing of a norwegian citizen. this is a despicable and barbaric act. >> russia is continuing to hit targets, oil infrastructure controlled by the group in syria. a 7ier military official says russia has already destroyed some 500 fuel trucks over the past five days, transporting oil from syria to refineries in iraq. isil relies heavily on oil revenues to fund itself. the u.s. has been hitting similar targets. its released pictures of air straikz against isil-controlled oil infra structure. it says more than 100 trucks were destroyed in monday's campaign. france's only aircraft-carrier, the charles de gaulle has left to join. the vessel carries 20 aircraft
