4:02 pm
report from moscow. was a chance to diffuse tensions face to face meeting between the two countries foreign ministers on the sidelines of the security conference in belgrade. but they say it was unrealistic to solve problems with russia in just one meeting. >> these meetings are important, both sides to not want to escape the tensions, both sides want to repair relations, we have different opinions and different positions. but turkey wants to narrow down these differences. i am sure once the sent men is left behind, common sense will prevail. >> in moscow, vladimir putin delivered his state of the nation address, that something he has done 12 times now, but in few of his previous years was this nation quite so embroiled in the conflicts. after a moment of silence, for russian servicemen and civilians killed abroad, he
4:03 pm
reiterated a call for global action. >> we need to set aside all arguments and differences to create one powerful feast, one united anti-terrorist front which will act on the basist of international order. a threat that more measures will follow. indeed, negotiations have been suspended for one of the country's biggest joint energy projects the plans turkish stream gas pipelines. >> this wow been a way for russian gas destined for european markets to avoided another neighbor, that russian now has explosive relations with. ukraine. now talk of the international isolation is often overblown, but it has lost key allies in the last two years. >> responding to russian allegations that turkey has been buying oil from isil,
4:04 pm
the president hit back with accusations of his own. >> who is buying that oil? let me tell you, a syrian who has a russian passport, he is the billest trader, he buyed oil,s sells it to both the syrian regime and international oil traders. as recently, the u.s. department made this public, and there's a famous chess player, he is also in the oil trade, we have the documents, and we are making them public to the world. >> russia is demanding an apology for the loss of it's plane, turkey is urging russia to keep a cool head. but for now, the war of words goes on. al jazeera, moscow. >> let's get more on this story now, joining us live. a senior policy advisor, with the european foundation for democracy, thank you for speaking to us. so, how much worse is this
4:05 pm
crisis in relations likely to get? >> while we see the statements it shows the limitation of putin's power in the senate, because these options are quite limited. we see the best option, but it looks very unlikely. i think we will see such statements and he will have the conflict. and he will try to damage turkey. and this will mean the freedom for the strikes in syria to those groups supported by turkey, this could mean that supporting anti-turkey groups around the world and this can also mean that turkey in international level.
4:06 pm
the president is also refusing to back down, why continue this battle. >> well, we see at least from the surface side, after the incident, we can see that the efforts not to escalate. >> but they haven't apologized either. >> well, probably, that's because the turkish government believes what was done was the right thing, because this was continuous air space violations from the russian side, and there was cheer tie log before this happened. and it didn't prevent it, and the turkey side believes that
4:07 pm
it was intentional, and russia was really -- was really intentionally doing this to also force turkey in the international area, and also the efforts in syria. and we also saw that the russian groups and not only isis, but also all those groups supported by turkey, includes the turkey minority and syria groups. so from the russian side of course they will be expecting an apology that's why considering the options is quite limited and it has become an issue of national pride, and also damaging the image of putin and now it
4:08 pm
doesn't really have serious consequences so now putin needs to make a statement you say it has been damaging and it is important for putin's domestic consumption, playing to the audience, but we have seen the same thing the remarkable thing is the similarity, they are both playing up to domestic audiences. and they both see a concession as a sign of weakness. >> certainly on the other hand, in the terms of reaction as okay there was no apology to russia, but on the other hand, turkey was very careful about the course and
4:09 pm
about escalating the conflict, and also we keep deciding of course, and major issues in terms of politics and battling and our turkish government including syria however the turkish side following the incident. >> following the incident, right. senior policy advisor. thank you. >> began delivering air defense systems on thursday. the kremlin suspended the supply of advance missile systems in 2010, siting u.n. sanctions but has decided to lift the measures after the iranian nuclear deal that was reached in july.

4:11 pm
christmas party, the pair were later killed in a shoot out with officers. the fbi and the local chief of police have been speaking about the attack in the last couple of hours. if you look at the preplanning that went in h, the weapons and the ammunition. there was obviously a mission here, we know that, we don't know if this was the intended target, or if there was something that triggered him to do this, that will take time fortous get to that answer. >> at the scene, we did locate the one pipe bomb that was three miamis combined into one, that had a remote control car, that appears to have not have worked in this case. there were also four high
4:12 pm
capacity 223 that were dropped by the suspects and left in there as evidence that had been recovered. i can confirm that the suspects were wearing the black style tactical gear that we talked about yesterday, they were not wearing ballistic vests what they did have is they had tactical style vests that held equipment and ammunition. and that sort of stuff. >> let's go live now to gabriel who is in san bernardino for us. what many have we learned. >> well, a little after 1:00 p.m. local 10 here. a little over 24 hours ago, that this shooting rampage occurred here. they have been updating us and giving us a better sense of how well armed they were.
4:13 pm
they found pipe bombs and thousands of rounds of ammunition inside a home linked to one of the suspects, but this is a very complex case. and there's also indications though that both suspects had no criminal records here in san bernadini, so it is a very complex case, they are still out on the streets interviewing people, coming through the various crime scenes but bottom line is what everyone wants to know is mow ty, what prompted this attack, and the short answer is nobody knows yet, not to local police, not the fbi, they are clearly looking at this perhaps one either workplace violence incident, or perhaps some sort of terrorism, that the fbi said they have not ruled that out or some combination of both.
4:14 pm
what have you been hearing from people in the area. >> san bernardino is a working class city, a little over 2,000 people. sess part of the shock and the apprehension tier still have is that they don't know, clearly, what the motive was. and part of the healing process, are saying that they would like to know what motivated in attack, so they can try to move on. this is people here as one person said, this kind of thing just doesn't happen. as residents are finding out, as it has in many other cities this year and last several years mass shootings do happen, and they did happen here, now the city is trying to come to grips with it, they will be having a command dill light vigil in one of the biggest mosques is also opening up their doors

4:21 pm
>> also the implication of an unknown sports apparel, or equipment company, there have been reports that it might be nike, but the justice department and lynch would not confirm that the sports marketing company pay prescribed to these officials and the broadcasting of these is what is really vehicling the fact that there was that much money is indicative of the huge stakes involved for fifa, and of course these people -- and also the future course of world football. >> thank you very much, tom

4:27 pm
going forward out to be that standards remain high, and that everyone has to meet that standard, the marine corps was resisting that saying their studies show that the units that were mixed secretary cartner overruling his advice in the former marine corps decided those kinds of problems could be addressed in the way they are implemented. so in this point going forth, tis a historic day, it means all-americans can compete in the military for all positions and be limited by their ability not by their gender. >> what do we know -- the exemption was requested as you rightly point out, ash carter said he goaf ruled that, because the military should operate under the same
4:28 pm
standards how will their -- what do we know about the specific concerns the individuals in those units didn't have meet any particular standard, and that it is kind of like -- any time you have teens playing each other, one team will win. the secretary was much more persuaded by the army approach, which was to allow women to compete in the grueling army ranger school, make sure that the standards were not lowered and then see if anybody can make it. he pointed out there may be units where there are very few women that can meet the demands but, they will have the opportunity to compete he felt if you are going to implement it and the marine corps was the lone hold out.
