fighter jet on tuesday. in a further sign of worsening relations, moscow will suspend visa free travel on january 1st. the turkish president has offered to meet with vladimir putin at the paris talks next week but he is standing his ground saying that russia is playing with fire. rory challands has more from moscow. >> reporter: strategic partners was how this man described syria in russia and the country's foreign ministers were certainly speaking with one voice on friday. >> translator: isis militants receive free weapons and passage. we are talking about militants from several countries. they receive medical help and weapons from turkey. >> reporter: they were meeting to discussion practical steps for pushing forward the vienna

process. the mechanism, it is hoped will find a political settlement for syria. >> translator: we have agreed that a list of terrorist groups that will be excluded from any political negotiations needs to be drafted. it will then need to go through the u.n. security council. it is absolutely clear that without it political peace talks between moderate opposition and the syrian government cannot take place. >> reporter: in russia there was a funeral. he and the pilot shot dead parachuting to the ground are viewed as heros in russia. not in turkey these protesters are calling russia's military murders. putin is depicted as a vampire. president erdogan has accused the russian president of playing

with fire by bombing syria's opposition and propping up the syrian government. >> translator: the day this incident happened i requested a meeting from him. i wanted to told a telephone conversation with him. but he has not returned by calls yet. there is a climate change conference in paris. i believe he'll be there. we can meet there and discuss these matters. >> reporter: for the moment the kremlin isn't answering. while formalized sanctions are being drawn up russian inspectors have finding reasons to reject produce. visa free travel will be suspended starting january 1st. rory challands al jazeera, moscow. joining me now live from washington, d.c. is a fellow at the washington institution focusing on russia's policy

towards the middle east. madam thank you so much for joining us. we were just listening to that report by rory challands so the suspension of visa-free travel strong words between the two leaders, and apparent refusal, really to meet at the paris summit neck week but i guess considering what could have happened does it look to you like all of this is going to go towards a deescalation. >> neither side wants a direct military confrontation. i think we'll see a lot of strong language in the coming days and weeks. their personalities are very similar and neither is going to want to back down. so i think we'll see more of these tennings but neither side really wans a direct confrontation. >> no direct confrontation, though you say we're going to see more tensions. are these tensions going to have an impact on the rest of the

coalition on the fight against isil which obviously all of these countries are there for. >> a couple of things. first in terms of the visa-free travel from the russian perspective. certainly turkey is one of the two key tourist destination for russia tourists. so this will hurt russian citizens first. having said that currently this is not the tourist season. now beyond that you know, this incident just highlights once again how a reckless putin has been, how inconsiderate he has been of international security with his syria intervention because for him it's all about undermining the west. erdogan has real security issues in turkey. whereas for putin this is all about undermining nato.

>> francois hollande did go and visit vladimir putin, francois hollande obviously trying to gather more support for strengthening of the fight against isil so obviously france anyway is opening up to russia trying to get them involved or at least on their side is there anything that the crucial western countries, the u.s. and france among them is there anything they can do to try to de-escalate tennings between russia and turkey? >> they can certainly use diplomacy, economic pressure and so forth. and especially behind the scenes they are doing that. i think it's important to remember though that putin -- he certainly has been trying to divide the nato alliance for years. this incident with the turkish air jet is not the first. it comes in the context of prior violations of turkish air space, and for years he has been

violating air space of other nato allies it's just this is the first time there has been a response. perhaps he has been surprised because he is not used to push back to incursions like this. and i think the most important thing is that nato and the west at large does not let putin get his way, that the alliance remains united that putin doesn't succeed in dividing the west. >> madam thank you for sharing your views with us. >> thank you. syrian opposition groups say a new wave of air strikes on the city of raqqa has killed at least eight people including five children. this video is said to show the aftermath of strikes in the city in northeastern syria which isil considers its capitol. the agency says the strikes were carried out by russian jets which targeted civilian areas.

our correspondent sent us this update on the situation in raqqa. >> translator: the sound of shelling and air strikes hardly stopped in this area bordering turkey near the latakia countryside, especially the turkmen mountains. in this is part of the turkmen mountains that has been under heavy shelling all morning. after the rebel forces managed to take control of the whole area it has been under heavy bombard bombardment. regime controlled the area earlier this week and the rebels retook it on tuesday. this is when the russian air strikes started to target the area. the regime launched their offensive and took over the area yesterday afternoon, backed by heavy artillery and air strikes, but later was taken by the rebel forces who were sweeping the area. the opposition fighters claimed

that seized two tanks and a number of armored vehicles. as i said earlier, this area has witnessed hit and run attacks and it is difficult to predict what will take place and who will be in charge in the next few hours. at least 27 people have been killed in two separate attacks in iraq. 11 of the dead are civilians. and 16 solders decided in a suicide bombing in the isil-controlled air of ramadi. hundreds of people have turned out in istanbul to show their support for two journalists being held in a turkish prison. the demonstration of solidarity was held outside of the headquarters of the newspaper. the peerp's editor and chief and correspondent are charged with willingly aiding an armed group, and with espionage. in may the paper printed images

accused of murder and participation in the activities of a terrorist group. nadim baba has more from brussels. >> reporter: the latest person to be charged in belgium in connection with the paris attacks was arrested in brussels on thursday. police and prosecutors are not naming him, but it's believed that in fact he is the brother of somebody who was arrested on thursday in the east along with their father. one brother and the father have been released. another brother charged without being named. we do have some details of the other suspects who are still in custody. let's not forget that one of the alleged attackers is still on the run, suspected of being somewhere in belgium. two of the suspects who have been charged here are alleged to have actually gone to france to pick him up and bring him back

a third who prosecutors are calling ali o allegedly took him too at part of the capitol, and then a 39-year-old moroccan man was charged after handguns and traces of blood were found in his vehicle. there are many more who have been arrested in belgium, and released without charge. but the security services have been very very busy. the threat levelel has been reduced to level 3 here in brussels meaning the threat is serious but not imminent. so possibly authorities believe that everybody suspected of taking part in the paris attacks or planning new attacks has now been arrested. that said there are still a lot of security forces on the streets of brussels and people are still very very weary of what might happen. french president francois

french french society, but we extend it through europe. and it makes them confront their opinions. maybe we have someone who is a national front partisan and a member of a muslim community and they can confront their opinions and their views, and from that we want propositions we want them to come on a common ground and say, oh we agree on this maybe we can try to implement this. after that what we want is to create the first step of them getting to know each other. getting to, you know have an incite of what their lives look like because it's so different, so different, and maybe if we understand each other's life, then maybe we will be more tolerant tolerant, and maybe there will be less violence. anti-racism groups across europe has reported a rise in the number of attackst against muslims and minorities since the

borders between greece and macedonia, that the conditions have been brutal. it has been very very cold. and certainly what we have seen is that children and pregnant mothers who have been on the move they are exhausted and having to deal with these terrible conditions on top of that, it has been really challenging for them. >> of course we have been hearing about how a lot of those countries are closing their borders, putting up fences making it harder for refugees and asylum seekers to -- to go through. how, i guess dangerous is it to be outside right now for extended periods of time? >> i think it's extremely dangerous. we have to say without question that children are the most vulnerable, and when they are outside, you know, we have seen a number of children yesterday who had spent the better part of a week basically being stuck at the border and they are being exposed to the elements. i saw a number of children who

had already picked up respiratory infections and so on. basically they are spending every night out in the open without enough to keep them warm and, you know, as -- as that drags on then certainly the risk to children will -- will go up, and, you know really their lives are under threat there's no question about that. >> we saw a few months ago, the death of the 3 year old who was found washed up on a beach, and that really seemed to focus the attention of the world on the crisis and the difficulties and pain felt by the children who are the most vulnerable in all of this. has the focus now slightly shifted away? do you get a sense that the attacks in paris perhaps have caused people to be more doubtful about helping these people? >> we're certainly aware of the news and a lot of the rhetoric

which has been going on certainly since -- since the attacks, but for us on the ground you know, the people that are working, our humanitarian partners the local authorities, they really are, i think, doing their best and are certainly very aware of the particular concerns that -- and vulnerabilities that children face. but for us ultimately children are children first and they have -- they have rights all the way across the board and those rights have to be respected and we have to help them. >> christopher tidy thank you. we really appreciate your time. >> thanks for having me. two palestinians have been killed after ramming their cars into israeli solders in the occupied west bank. one was shot dead by a civilian after driving at two socials near a settlement. he was identified as the brother of a man killed on sunday after carrying out a similar attack. several hours later another

and it shows that it isn't going to go away. and what it does show as well is that these are not just isolated incidents. it's not just one or two incidents, but it is happening on a fairly regular basis across the country. and that is why these community groups are saying that the time is now to change the tactics; that they should make their economic voice heard, their political voice heard and they should take to the streets to get the police service that they want and deserve, and to get the political representation that they want and deserve. this is going to be a big issue going into 2016 which is an election year and it is going to be a big issue ongoing here. it's a cold very wet day in chicago can attract hundreds and hundreds out on the streets that shows the depth of feeling in some of these communities. >> alan thank you. staying in the u.s.
