strikes inside syria there was an unforeseen consequence. syria's air defense units trying to hit israeli f. sixteen fighter jets instead hits a russian electronic surveillance plane the ill twenty mike the one shown here fell into the mediterranean killing all fifteen russian servicemen on board. russia's defense ministry is furious blaming israel for what it is calling hostile actions because there's just been so many of them the israeli pilots were using the russian aircraft as a shield and pushed it into the line of fire of the syrian defenses as a result the aircraft which has a much more effective reflecting surface than the israeli jets was brought down by the missile defense system israeli aviation management and the pilots of the f. sixteen jets most have seen the russian aircraft as it was landing from the height of five kilometers however they have done a provocation deliberately. in moscow israeli diplomats were summoned to the

go towards thursday but down here towards managua we're going to see some heavy rain in your forecast over the next few days as well then very quickly a park across parts of south america things are getting better down towards but as odd as it has been quite rainy there a sense you're going to keep in the rain rio you're going to be seeing some warmer temperatures there with a front just to your south with a temperature of thirty degrees. mind you. a place where this is. bringing you know. you know you. and i do is resilient and is just so full of surprises managerial as there is yes to every normal. mine nigeria. on al-jazeera.

it's good to have you with us on al-jazeera and these are our top stories china is imposing their views on another sixty billion dollars of american made items the move comes after u.s. president dollar trump announced increased tower of song two hundred billion dollars of chinese products trump says he's open to talking to beijing that it take advantage of the u.s. russian president vladimir putin has moved to calm tensions after hours of accusations over the downing of a russian military plane by syria. seems like a tragic accident but added that israel's air force was breaching syria's

sovereignty with its operations and a landmark deal between the leaders of north and south korea has been signed to make the korean peninsula a nuclear free south korean president from j. and said hey a north korean leader kim jong un agreed that north korea will close its nuclear production facilities. over the past decades confrontation and mostly t. the scribed military relations but with a new agreement we agreed to may. the korean peninsula nuclear free area through various measures to that end exchanges in many areas and levels and communications are going to help our hard work for the reunification. well let's get more on this now we're joined by andre land called professor specializing in north korea at cookman university and he's joining us live from seoul very good to have you with us on al-jazeera as always mr lang so as

we've been reporting both leaders once again pledging to denuclearize the potential or and president moon say the north will close its production facilities is that good progress not much progress we have heard it many times or last thirty years i mean the vile the north korean nuclear program was advancing and they dog is going to be a turning point years the government again come film it's meant to do nuclear is asian but let's not forget all the major nuclear powers including united states or russian federation has also made such a commitment as early as nine hundred sixty eight and the. actual behavior or military strategy. there is nor any kind of deadlines for the full ideas and in the end of the day the discussions of the nuclear issue are is basically is

something this discussion is something. are seriously going to care formally busy united states mr lang called saying don't say anything or there's a line on the issue of the deadline they did say that there is going to be a timeline that will be announced. they're going to denuclearize through various measures but do you think that until the north agree that these measures will be verifiable just how do you know is there a lack of trust. there is it all trounced on both sides by the way and it's sort of justifiable because both sides have breaking promises so frequently. having said that we have the line and. arrive to this deadline maybe just maybe we can start talking about sort of duction of the north korean nuclear threat not before it because such statements about eventual dictionary's ation we have heard many times from both sides and let's not forget when. talking about here is

a sham they also include but it is draw of the us forces from south korea something which is hardly acceptable for the united states and south korean government while the united states will be watching this very closely of course do you think that they think there's been enough progress made we will wait for the details to allow for the talks between them and north korea the stalled talks to continue now. i believe it's the major goal of the entire exercise because what is happening now in pyongyang is above all a political say after a short because basically all the attendant. there president of the united states because it was done largely to send a signal to the united states and the international community to show that

north koreans are viewing to advance towards denuclearization saw more talks in their society and maybe a sound concessions are necessary as well so yes it was done largely to produce the right impression on the united states to make sure they would stay at the negotiation table and go back to the better course and highly dangerous political line of the last year year two thousand and seventy that's to langkawi thank you very much for your time it's good to get your thoughts as always. thank you now the u.s. president has called russia's activity in eastern europe aggressive donald trump made the comments. saying with the polish president in washington d.c. andre due to has to set up a military base in poland to help guarantee the country's security white house correspondent complete help it has. poland 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 endorsed a proposal he did acknowledge he understands why poland might make such a request i think it's a very aggressive situation. i think russia has acted aggressive. they respect force they respect strength as anyone does it's a long and very complicated history so it certainly has a right to feel the president due to reminded president trump that there is an argument to be made that with out a permanent u.s. base in poland poland is susceptible to what due 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.
