running now. heavy rains, it seems to was the night how brought flooding, not just a chandelier for, but also to other cities like of young authorities. how shut down hospitals and schools in some areas rescue work is underway. but there are fears that'll be rice, christmas. elder al jazeera stumble. ah yes, officials say the drone incident in the black sea is part of an aggressive russian pattern of behavior. the russian government says the u. s. was ignoring as space restrictions. she amber tansy has more her pentagon. for a 2nd day, us officials complained that their reaper drain crashed into the black sea as a result of what they say has become a patent of reckless and unsafe behavior by russian fight, a joke, pilots in international airspace this time resulting in a collision. i just got off the phone with my russian counterpart minister showing
1:09 am
as i've said repeatedly, it's important that great powers be models of transparency. and communication in the united states will continue to fly and to operate wherever international law allows. this was the 1st phone call between the u. s. defense secretary and his russian counterpart in 5 months. and it's notable the aftermath of the incident. both moscow and washington are emphasizing the need for dialogue. nonetheless, russia disputes the u. s. account of the crash, a criminal says the drone had switched off its transponder and was heading towards russian territory, collecting actionable military intelligence against russian forces for the ukraine war effort, explained scramble to identify the aircraft and then response. the drone took a vase of action that led to its crash switch stage. you have heard representatives of the pentagon and the joint chiefs of staff side. the united states will continue
1:10 am
to fly wherever it pleases, in accordance with international law. but if you follow this logic, the space around the united states has the same status as the space over the black sea, which as with a drain itself, washington says it's deep under water and unlikely to be recovered by the u. s. military. as far as the loss of anything of sensitive intelligence, etc, as normal we would take and we did take mitigating measures. so we are quite confident that whatever, whatever was of value is no longer a value. russia says it will attempt to retrieve the drone despite the difficulties . whatever actually happens, this incidence is heightening the fear of unintended consequences and the risk if heightened escalation between washington and moscow. she ever can't see al jazeera, the pensive, the russian defense for this is a show who taught says he told us in that operating drone flights near crimea was provocative and could lead to an escalation. my kind of choices live now from
1:11 am
washington, d. c. if you know anything more about that warnings, i'm sure you well, that is very interesting because we heard there from the us defense secretary lloyd austin, making no reference to that as part of his read out of the conversation between the 2 defense ministers said a show who apparently, according to the russian defense ministry warning his us counterpart that the drone flights within that particular area over the black sea are deemed by russia as provocative. so clearly there are still differences over where and when and how us drones can operate within that particular area. the incident itself, both sides now attempting, it seems to play down. although russia continues to insist, it was not responsible for the downing of the drone. insisting as you heard, and she had a package that it was approaching the crimean coast when it took evading maneuvers and crashed. so there is still that dispute going on. although from the us side,
1:12 am
we've heard from a spokesperson for the state department that it's now been assumed that the action was not intentional. that it was a mistake here. an attempt to down load the level of escalation on that particular issue. but very clearly, from the comments of the russian defense minister, the debate will continue as to how the u. s. can operate or should the us operate in that area over the black sea. and what is always leave us russia relations well, they were very bad to begin with, but there is one thing that has come out of here that is very interesting. indeed, we refer to that conversation between the defense chiefs. there's also being conversations of the course of the day between the chair of the joint chiefs of staff in the u. s. and his russian counterpart. there is a level of communication going on far greater than at any stage since russia invaded ukraine. now both parties throughout have that times been stressing the
1:13 am
needful communication. the essential need to keep communication channels open, to avoid any mistakes or misunderstanding or misinterpretation of events. this incident, as serious as it may appear, has certainly served one purpose, and that is it appears to open or reopen the lines of communication between russia and the u. s. because there's been a lot of dialogue in the course of the stay alone, for example. and that is something that it appears both sides are welcoming. i kind of thank you very much. indeed. your high is director of the frontier europe initiative and in a junk professor of european security. she's also a former military advisor to nato. she says russia has repeatedly violated international airspace. we have before the full scale invasion and into the full scale invasion, a long history from the russian side of violation, often a to airspace. in this incident, this is likely to be,
1:14 am
to have taken place within the international airspace. so what, in the context off the black sea, the russians are likely to be doing is to try to provoke, to determine the americans, but also need to overall, to not be able to use international airspace like they have, have tried to determine nato forces not to use the international maritime space within the black sea. both sides particular the, the united states is trying really hard to de, escalate to frame it as a marginal incidence to decrease the chances of this happening in the future. because this would lead to significant costs on the western side. and so we will see in the coming months, if this is something that will occur again, hopefully not, but likely, particularly the americans are trying to de escalate whereas the russian cannot
1:15 am
really admit it. even if it is true, syrian president behind assad is when you to support for the war and ukraine, while meeting russian president vladimir putin, that he just met in moscow in president us had 1st official visits outside the middle east since the devastating earthquakes in syria last month, russia is stepping up efforts to improve ties between 2 year and serious president visit coincided with the 12 anniversary of protest beginning which led to the syrian war. i would like to take this opportunity during my 1st visit after the start of the horn ukraine, to renew my unchanging stone's serious dance in supporting this war against the old new naziism. our stance doesn't only stem from the strong friendship that we have, nor does that stem from the loyalty you've shown us asked, dawns, comes from the will need to day for rebalance. otherwise, the world will hit towards explosion and destruction with thousands of serious have
