the amounts were summoned to the foreign ministry and defense minister sure you protested to his is ready counterpart having door lieberman on the phone. asked about the incident at a news conference with the hungary and prime minister vladimir putin took a softer line and. in this case of course i would like to offer my deep condolences to the relatives of those who died speaking of your comparison to the case when a turkish fighter jet downed plane this was a different situation then the turkish jet deliberately downed our plane in this case on the other hand it looks like a chain of tragic. because an israeli jet did not down on. the difference in tone between the russian ministry of defense and vladimir putin suggests 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. now lawn school of the family u.s. assistant secretary of defense and he says there are a number of reasons why prison is trying to defuse the situation. i think he wants to keep good relations with the israelis the cost 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 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 then this has nothing to do with it when the russians and the charts 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 the russians would find it hard to approach radio sato's somebody that the global community should support the head on the boat and unexpected this is chuck when he was about russia from the us president donald trump and one upcoming election is cause an ice cream sales to melt away and couple . of days.

good to have you with us on al jazeera these are our top stories the leaders of north and south korea promising a nuclear free korean. kim jong un also says he plans to visit probably before the end of the year. made the remarks on the second day of the three day summit and. china is imposing on another sixty billion dollars of american made the move comes after u.s. president donald trump announced increased tariffs on two hundred billion dollars of chinese products says he's open to talking to beijing but take advantage of this

. and in the wake of a massive landslide a rescue operation in the northern philippines has shifted from searching for survivors to recovering bodies the landslide hit the mining town of. problems in the wake of quote. let's get more on top story now the summit between north and south korea we're joined by. the. exposé and he's joining us live from the south korean capital seoul very good to have you with us. so how significant is the north's pledge to close its missile facility and then depending on what the u.s. does close its nuclear facility. well i would say this is quite significant because everybody has been asking for north korea to provide details regarding how it's going to shut down its weapons program and in fact this agreement showed the very details people asked for that said it does not quite come

close to the expectation people heard that perhaps north korea would disclose an entire list of its nuclear facilities so it remains to be seen whether this is the agreement will actually be something that is palatable to washington. how much of hindrance do you think that will be not just closing all of its facilities. to the continuation of talks with the u.s. . well it would depend on the attitude of the trump of ministration we've already seen mr trump tweeting about an hour ago there he very much welcomes disagreement so at least he personally seems to be amenable to accepting it but we're also going to have to see what the administration and there is officials have to say because we have seen a very different attitudes coming out of the president and also his cabinet which is of course not unusual for this administration we also heard from the north

koreans that they're going to allow international experts to be involved in the closing of its missile facility will that help overcome the lack of trust in north korea. absolutely because one of the criticisms were libelled the north korea last time north korea put out the show of destroying its another testing site in poorly the in fact the many people said the experts were not allowed to come in and observe it was only the international press and we got pictures showing that something happened but is it really enough to prove that north korea is carrying out measures that it says it intends to do so this time there will be verification and there is a hopeful sign for the process as a whole. what will the north want this to crew for all of this you know for closing a missile facility for maybe closing a nuclear facility and for letting international experts in.

so once north korea showed stone its missile testing and launching site they will expect reciprocal action to be taken by the united states and i think many people know what that is at this juncture because north korea has come out many times to say they want the u.s. to join in on the clearing an end to the korean war which would amount to a form of security guarantee for north korea and that would hopefully move things forward from then on this is the one who thank you very much for your time and your expertise on this well the u.s. president has called russia's activity in eastern europe aggressive donald trump made the comments after a bilateral meeting well the polish president on in washington d.c. do it as i asked trump to set up a military base in poland to help guarantee the country's security a white house correspondent can be helped that has more. hole in security concerns

high on the agenda is u.s. president donald trump sat down with his polish counterpart president dude out 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 the proposal he did acknowledge he understands why poland might make such requests i think it's a very aggressive situation i think russia has acted aggressive. 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 with out 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 now floodwaters are still rising in eastern parts of the u.s. not hocking florence made landfall on friday that's now been downgraded to a tropical depression bought this time heavy rain more than thirty people killed and north and south carolina u.s. president trump is expected to visit the worst hit areas on wednesday was like one of the disaster movies like poseidon adventure or a towering inferno the people trying to get out of our building and the elderly there where not capable they had to have assistance it's just been a nightmare and did what i did but yes we're on an island right now and a few that may go in and out like i said no gasoline so i had heard people when i'm in line for food you know they were stranded here no gas people are waiting they

idea that politics is politics is good. so here's a very strong speech against corruption and he captures that feeling both as about cider. that is going to solve the problems of the corruption problems in a very simple better although many say this is the most unpredictable election to fill turn the mark with many people here say the one thing they can agree on is that they're fed up with politicians. they'd like to think a new government will help clean up that image for many the lack of trust in their politicians now runs too deep to think anything will change. but. there's anger in venezuela after the president was seen enjoying a lavish on a recent trip to turkey. was filmed dining at

years ago are they better equipped to alert us to imminent economic disasters now another powerful media man is taken down by the me too movement on the trail of fake online accounts and bolts pushing an agenda of regime change in iran and then economic debate for the ages. what can a government do when the reason economic crisis exactly a decade ago the world was hit by the worst economic crisis since the great depression in the us trillions of dollars were sucked out of the global economy tens of millions of people lost their jobs and austerity economics was imposed across many countries here at the listening post reported back then on the failings of the financial coverage failings that meant the crash came as a huge surprise to many around the world the financial press cheered all in a bubble that eventually burst should

a lot of skepticism about wall street claims. and failed to expose what was in effect that mass fraud on their own beat namely the misselling of mortgages to millions of americans in the aftermath some outlets apologized for the shortcomings in their reporting at ten years old how much has actually changed the listening post may not on the lessons of two thousand and eight and the new challenges facing reporters on the business and the economy beats today. right now breaking news your stocks of all around the world aren't because of the crisis on wall street two thousand. for governments big financial institutions burned to journalists who reported on the. frankfurt is down by nine percent. down by nine percent which. it was like

a war zone think about the institutions that have been around since the great depression bear stearns lehman brothers merrill lynch for all intents and purposes disappeared during this crisis there's the bankruptcy of lehman brothers the sale of merrill lynch to bank of america and word of trouble with the world's largest insurance company american international most of the financial crisis was not concealed by some dastardly. plot most of it was just widely ignored by the company and publication and most journalists you know the shake shack or the shakes or trust in american institutions and most of the coverage leading up to the crash ignored the really central problems which was. pro-choice tactics were rife and they were really what drove the crash. oh you want to pay for your neighbor's mortgage that's next so they can't pay their bills right. oh. so critical we are

a financial journalism mold it's so. around the system that was unsustainable and that was. live as never forget that it was my reasons miscalculation a mis regulation that caused the problem. in the years leading up to the financial crash global stock markets hit new highs real estate was booming investment banks used ever more complicated financial instruments primarily collateralized debt obligations c.d.o. those and credit default swaps c.d.s. is not only enabled riskier and riskier mortgage just to be given but allowed banks to make more and more money off them when people started to default on must the banks found themselves in too deep in a world in which banks relied on borrowing from each other for survival it set off a domino effect before two thousand and seven eight very few mainstream financial outlets were looking at the world of complex credit and derivatives and subprime

mortgages and debt i wrote about it a fair amount i thought because i became absolutely fascinated by the question what on earth are the geeks doing in these dark corners that we don't understand most journalists thought that those kind of areas of finance a boring and technical and and you couldn't get on the front page of a newspaper you couldn't get it on the top of the running i was television show so the whole world got totally ignored financial journalists in particular began to understand that all the nuance and the details of these incredibly complex instruments mattered but at the same time if you were out there saying oh my god watch out for c.d.'s is watch out for c.e.o.'s you were treated like somebody were at him for oil have you worked hard considered somebody who understood fire. probing the culture of the financial press is central to any critical examination of its performance in the years after the crash critics on the

outs. and voices from inside the news room for you pointed out some of the most problematic aspects of how the financial media operates a war on my man craig decided groupthink a reliance on access to industry insiders and crucially a sense that financial reporters have to be as enthused about the bottom lines of the company's data point on as the business is executives themselves it's like covering a sports team. you have a tendency to start sharing because it's more exciting to cover something where there's lots of money rolling around and profits are high and by defining it that way you're really sort of limiting your scope of vision you know our consumers treated one of the checks and balances within the company and those kind of things often are forgotten if a company is doing well as a market is booming it's very easy to just sort of let the good times roll one of the really beating to that happened around the start of twenty first century it was that television in the financial markets became much more important. it's much

easier to convey a manic excitement through a television studio interview than it is in the pages of a newspaper or this is fair to say that people like me who question the system and the sustainability of the boom well we were in show today but you were almost a kind of unnecessary trouble maker there was a cultural pressure to say well if the great and good goes on forever it goes on forever they specially because in the background you've got these relentless channels of kind of one dimensional weird propaganda from the bottom or you know the american business journal it's easy to get sucked into their world. there's a question to be asked about audiences and how their interests shape journalistic out but the financial press is consumed in large part by

a nice group traders investors. bankers and c.e.o.'s what's good news for them see for instance company mergers of credit bubbles are often reported positively by the financial press what often goes under deported are wider impacts and concerns this can be contagious because so many mainstream outlets take their cues on business and financial reporting from the specialist press and then there's the question of sources business journalists rely on their relationships with the executives the report on four stories access is priceless when you go to your annual shareholder meetings and you get a standing ovation for what you've done there is a careful balance of being able to get the c.e.o. to come back on your channel and being able to get the c.e.o. to give you some news i don't think that in my experience of either bloomberg or c n b c we have a whole bunch as we work really hard to actually get difficult interviews you need

to ask the question in a way that isn't rude because the viewers will immediately think you're being awful to this guests that you've invited on your show. in the aftermath of the financial crisis there's been a lot of introspection by the media journalists had to face the failings of their work before two thousand and eight and reassess their approach to the finance and economy. there's still work to be done. the media still very obsessed with the agencies and create the last crisis the one thing we can count on is that the next crisis won't come from exactly the same era it will be something else like what is happening with the pension system today what's happening with say exchange try to see what's happening with other areas of financial technology intact plus there are other areas of our life where you have once again geeks in control of the technology that no one else understands i think that the financial media has become

a bit more skeptical post two thousand and eight but i wouldn't say that there's been a massive culture change not thinking about the health of society health of the nation and how well customers are being treated that's really kind of a secondary thing so that does worry me but that says there has been some really good reporting the los angeles times did great reporting breaking the wells fargo fake account scandal but in general there are a lot of financial stories out there that aren't getting the kind of digging investigative reporting that they may or i think there is a strategic mismatch between job journalism and the kind of world we live in. business journalism can all be launched proved to be asked to ask the question should be as much even be being played to the root it's being played sports you don't see the full grown much when most of the banking system. all the rules wrong all the players is the game future is it destroying us this is on t.v.

live it. we're discussing other media stories that are on our radar this week with one of our producers flo phillips so let's start with lez moonves longtime balsa one of the biggest u.s. t.v. networks that's a c.b.s. and he stepped down over a series of allegations of sexual misconduct well the first resignation we've seen since the start of the need to move went why is this one such a big deal. for lots of reasons barbara les moonves as chairman president and c.e.o. really is c.b.s. or rather he was he successfully led that network for more than two decades and such a long time in this industry is pretty rare but the me too movement has really changed everything nobody is off limits anymore in the span of just ten months c.b.s. has lost charlie rose who hosted the morning news show jeff fager the head of its signature investigative program sixty minutes and moonves off the allegations about

mean best first surfaced back in july c.b.s. launched an investigation but he hung on even after he did meet it and apologized for some of his behavior then last weekend ronan farrow the john this credited with the harvey weinstein exposé almost a year ago now details a further six allegations from additional women and moonves was gone in a matter of hours or moonves may be gone but there's still some questions about his seemingly quite large severance package how big are we talking about exactly so that's really going to depend on the outcome of this c.b.s. investigation if moonves is found to be guilty he'll get nothing otherwise the details of his contract mean he could walk away with as much as one hundred twenty million dollars it was originally one hundred forty million dollars but members and see.
