in tone between the russian ministry of defense and vladimir putin suggest the russian president is satisfied that the point has been made and that this chain of tragic circumstances as he put it shouldn't risk what has hitherto been a pretty good working relationship between russia and israel the israeli prime minister's office said in a statement that prime minister netanyahu expressed his sorrow over the death of russian soldiers and said that syria was responsible for the downfall of the plane he also noted the significance of the continuation of security coordination between israel and russia that has prevented many losses of lives on both sides over the last three years at the moment need a leader seems willing to allow this incident to upset the status quo or a challenge how does iran moscow on the russian military plane was shot down shortly after moscow struck a deal with turkey to set up a buffer zone in rebel held at least province averaging

a government offensive the u.n. security council has been discussing syria i diplomatic as a james space has the latest in the security council chamber the russian ambassador vasoline the benzine thanked his colleagues for their condolences on the downing of the russian jet but then he wanted to move on and talk about the russian turkish deal on it that's been welcomed by the united nations by the special envoy stefan de mistura and by the humanitarian coordinator marc local but they're still question marks about the deal in particular about the fighters from the groups that used to be known as al nusra they are supposed to leave it live how's that going to happen why would they leave if. where are they supposed to go and who is going to force them to leave if they won't leave a your question james is exactly the one i've been raising myself with both turkey and russia and they are going to provide us with some type of month i think turkey

in particular seemed to be given by a russia deal with both a billet deal finding a way to answer your point and to you undersecretary general you cautioned that this deal might just be a stay of execution could you possibly expand to assume what it would look like if there was full scale fighting in the clip and could the un cope let me give you james a very clear and direct response to your question the you the u.n. and the fashion organizations absolutely could not cope could not prevent enormous loss of civilian life. countless numbers of children above all if there were a massive military onslaught that would be the inevitable consequence of a massive military and civil be huge loss of life on a scale that you know we've not seen for a very very long time anywhere in the world and mr de mistura made it clear that he was continuing his efforts to restart political negotiations he said he was still

trying to form a committee to come up with a new constitution for syria but that's an effort that's been going on for months. larry korb is a former u.s. assistant secretary of defense he says they are number of reasons why putin is trying to defuse the tensions. i think he wants to keep good relations with the israelis the cos that kind of you know gives them leverage with the the united states the other is that he doesn't like to admit about these casualties happening in syria now with the turkish thing had nothing to do with syria but since he's been involved in syria there's been a lot of deaths and it's not very popular at home in russia i mean the united states ended up killing about fifty of the so-called russians of billions that were fighting there so they downplay it you don't see much in the russian newspapers about the men and women who watched their lives there ben this has nothing to do

with it when the russians and the turks have. the day they agree with each other on it live they don't want to see a human catastrophe there because if that happened you'd have a lot of refugees going into turkey and then the russians would find it hard to patrol sato's somebody that the global community should support. plenty more ahead on the news hour including deep in the mud rescue workers hope they can still find survivors three days after typhoon margaret wrought havoc to the philippines last arisa may gets ready to pitch leaders on her breakfast plan but one country may prove to be a hard sell and one of europe's top amateur female golfers has been murdered on the course people be here with the details and sports. rescue teams in the northern philippines are digging through mounds of mud still hoping to find survivors from saturday's landslide that skin at least seventy four

a short while ago do we know what it was. that's right this is just happened within the last few seconds or so this is come just after a one on one meeting between me and kim jong un the second session that they've been having this is pictures from the state guesthouse in pyongyang this is apparently a military agreement that has been signed between north korea and south korea as part of this summit obviously the question of denuclearization has been the most important question for many people but there have been other things on the agenda and one of them has been the into korean relations and improving the relationship between north and south building upon what's known here as the permanent john declaration this was the signing of that a declaration way back in april that began this whole process is part of that the two countries are committed to finding ways of easing tension on the korean

peninsula especially on the demilitarized zone that separates the two countries and we understand that they have reached a further agreement on ways of easing tensions of room you removing the threat of conflict and this is that agreement they just sat down and signed the agreement themselves their military chiefs are now doing the same as far as any larger agreement goes we're still waiting for the outcome of that we are expecting the main event of today wednesday will be a joint press event when any complete agreement from the overall arrangement from this summit will be announced obviously a lot of question is how much that will go in trying to restart talks about doing exactly the ocean for it exactly i mean this whole summit has been discussing how to achieve denuclearization in peace on the korean peninsula and as i've said this is if there is such meeting this year the meeting between kim jong un and mourn him

what have the achieved throughout these three meetings any has it been any progress . everyone's waiting to see if there is enough progress to restart the talks with the united states the south koreans of traveled north it's a large delegation ahead of this summit we know that they have obviously been in contact with their american counterparts the u.s. special envoy with responsibility for north korea has been in seoul meeting with his counterparts before this delegation went out there so they are well briefed on what is the bottom line for the u.s. what the u.s. will take accept as the barest minimum to get these talks back on track we simply don't know if they have achieved that if and if they have achieve that if they're going to tell us within the next few hours or so but that is the expectation maybe some further commitment from the north koreans even to come up

with an inventory list which the u.s. have been demanding of just saying what missiles they have so at the moment they haven't even produced a list of what missiles they have now other than actually giving up any of them ok rob we're just seeing the two leaders now believe it seems this is a guest house where the south korean president is saying is staying and we are expecting a joint press conference but it doesn't look like that's likely to happen anytime soon because the two leaders have basically split apart each going in a different direction do we know what what's next on the agenda for day to wrap. with the big event obviously is that joint press briefing that's what we're expecting i think now looking at the time it is wednesday lunchtime here on the korean peninsula the next event could well be lunch one of the rounds of the negotiations there have been various photo opportunities taking place and so on and

one of the bigger events that has been staged for today is a visit to a restaurant in pyongyang which is apparently famous for its cold noodles no visit to pyongyang is complete without lunch at this restaurant so we could be simply lunch and then this afternoon that's when we maybe would be expecting to see this joint communiqué. break for lunch then thank you very much rob mcbride live for us in seoul. and we're going to take a break on the news obvious and i have. imus in yuma im going to cite this one former president can you still have it done this to kisha is facing the most serious charges of corruption yet but what are the chances that she will actually go to prison lasts record levels of flooding in nigeria with people barely escaping rising waters in some places and for me no one makes a u.-turn in the area off betting sponsorship in their sport you know have the details to stay with us.

by the springtime flowers of a mountain lake. to the first snowfall on the winter in spain. hello again welcome back to international weather forecast well of course we are watching what's happening here along the southern coast of china because we have seen a lot of flooding associate with our old typhoon that made landfall things are dryer here hong kong you are going to be seeing partly cloudy conditions and thirty two degrees so recovery relief efforts in this region are going to be unhampered by the weather but up to the north we are see some clouds of shanghai maybe thirty three degrees there over here towards the philippines same for you better weather over the next few days in luzon we don't expect to see much in terms of rain and manila maybe thirty two degrees again for that day well here across the southern reaches of south asia we are going to see in jakarta clouds in your forecast rain off parts of coaching over the next few days and that is going to continue as we go through wednesday and also probably through thursday but over here towards the southern

reaches of the philippines we are going to be seeing heavy rain for you not like that up to the north but over to the south that is going to be an issue and then very quickly over towards india well things have been getting better over towards the west but we are watching a feature here the bamberg all that there of low pressure that is turning and if you look at the forecast map you see those clouds in those showers making their way towards the eastern seaboard right there that is going to cause some heavy rain over the next few days potentially some localized flooding of kolkata rain for you at thirty degrees. the weather sponsored by cats own ways. and instantly shifting news cycle it was even change a number of tweets the listening post takes polls and questions the wilds needle the devil will be in the details the kind that cannot be conveyed in two hundred eighty characters or fewer exposing how the press operates it is their language is their culture it's their context and why certain stories take precedence while others are ignored we can have a better understanding of how news is created we're going to have

a better understanding of what the news is than listening post on al-jazeera. welcome back our top stories on this al-jazeera news hour south korean president

came. in and north korea's leader kim jong un have met for a second day of talks in pyongyang they have been discussing how to denuclearize the korean peninsula and to allow for talks with the u.s. to continue these speeches from pyongyang. russian president vladimir putin has moved to calm tensions after hours of accusations over the downing of a russian military plane off the syrian coast which insists the incident seems like a tragic accident but how did that israel's air force was reaching syria sovereignty with its operations and china is imposing levies on another sixty billion dollars of american made items the move comes after u.s. present donald trump announce increased tariffs on two hundred billion dollars of chinese products trump says he's open to talking to beijing but won't let it take advantage of the u.s. for more on this let's now speak to

a poli in the managing director of asia analytic and joins us from hong kong thank you very much for being with us so the u.s. strategy right now seems to want to force the chinese to the negotiating table after imposing this third round of towers and china sixty billion dollars is far less than the u.s. than the u.s. has two hundred billion dollars why is that is china running out of bullets here will it be forced to blink first. it's not a question of who blinks first basically the relationship between china and the united states has gone beyond that of commercial competitors dollars and cents who's buying more from whom i think it's now a race between two great economies for domination in technology in trade in. soft holes through the

world so they will be dancing around each other whether in the form of a trade a wall or other kind of sanctions this will continue this will continue in a race you say and it seems that so far the u.s. is ahead in this race because this latest round of terrorist means that about half of all chinese imports to the u.s. are now subjected to duties this is starting to have an impact on chinese households. oh it would definitely have an impact but it's not just on the chinese household because in the short term there's a lot that the government can do to cushion the pain subsidies tax waivers and things like that the more important point about the terrors is that it's going to affect the chinese economy going forward slowing it down and making sure that it cannot roll quote just lost as it would otherwise be able to

diesel so what is the worst case scenario here you think are we going to see if this continues then we see tariffs and counter terrorism we're going to start seeing markets economies collapse what's the worst case scenario situation. i do the whole thing you will see something very dramatic like overnight markets collapsing or economies collapsing what will happen is i see a slow burn that churned out just slowly slowly. growing less slowly the debt is going to be in trouble a lot of the zombie companies are going to be in trouble the chinese government will do everything that it can to prop up the economy at least until the twenty twenty one because that's the one hundredth birthday of the chinese

communist party so they're going to boral for of the future and problems down the road to make sure that the next couple of years are going to be good but it is going to be a slow burn downwards thank you very much for speaking to us pauline good to hear thoughts on this pauline long from asia analytical joining us there from hong kong thank you the u.s. president has called russia's activity in eastern europe aggressive donald trump made the comments after a bilateral meeting with polish president andrey tudor in washington has asked trump to set up a military base in poland to help guarantee the country's security our white house correspondent kimberly harkat has more. hole in security concerns high on the agenda is u.s. president donald trump down with his polish counterpart president due to requesting from the united states a permanent military presence in the form of a base in poland even suggesting that it could be called for trump well donald

trump has not yet indorsed a proposal he did acknowledge he understands why poland might make such a request i think it's a very aggressive situation i think given russia has acted aggressively. they respect force they respect strength as anyone does that's a long and very complicated history so it certainly has a right to feel that what president did or reminded president trump that there is an argument to be made that without a permanent u.s. base in poland poland is susceptible to what do to calls increased russian activity out poland for its part has offered some two billion dollars for the construction of a permanent american base in poland trump says he is considering this proposal from the standpoint of both countries in terms of military protection but also cost british from is a teresa mayes heading to a gathering of e.u.

leaders in austria on wednesday to try to shore up support for her plan for breck's it one major stumbling block could be germany previously seen as friendly to britain people inside german political and industrial circle stand on just syria of the country does not regard the u.k. as a priority nor in sleep reports if there is a city in europe which signifies muscular success and power in munich usually it's the economy of the region that varia is bigger than all but five countries in the whole european union. german exports to britain were worth tens of billions of dollars last year a messy bricks it with no plan could cost the germans a lot so people are worried they also think that britain should be. some danger so relation of it to say polite and as he also was a big big burden of brokers see it simply supplementation to make resurge

between our members and this is estimate of the costs of this broker suber b. fifty two hundred million every year plus. and if they move production to a different european country they wouldn't have this problem maybe when to resume a pitch he said deal to the european union on thursday the central aim is to persuade them that goods like cars could still move through open borders every other freedom like the movements of people would end and that's the sticking point in britain there's a growing assumption that the european union's about sich a vain on all its demands for freedom of movement of everything in order to strike a bargain over brecht says we buy all the german cause said the brits it is of course the germans want to make this work well maybe that's true but maybe it isn't . the view from the german bricks it department is that in the end it would be preferable to let britain. are interrupting that report to take you back to

pyongyang way the leaders of north and south korea holding a joint press conference mess listening. push north and south korean. home and abroad. we head into a korean summit encountering young and both the signed and the september joint declaration. into korean relations turned made a turning point with the april permanent german declaration and with this joint declaration in september we aim to strengthen or improve this in relations and for the peace and prosperity. and i'd like to thank president moon and all the people from the south korean government for their hard work to stick to their promise and commitment for us for this for the april

challenges that we face but we are going to be stronger by overcoming these.
