seeks peace but will defend itself against any attack or it's him by iran to establish itself in syria. iran seeks to use a syrian territory to attack israel for its professed goal of destroying the us this morning iran brazenly violated israel sovereignty israel holds iraq and its syrian post responsible for today's aggression we will continue to do whatever is necessary to protect our sovereignty and our security the allies of syria and enemies of israel celebrated the downing of the warplanes. fighters from the pro iranian hezbollah group gathered on the border between lebanon and israel as israeli soldiers looked on. the iranian president hassan rouhani condemned the israeli action in syria. yet it if one country thinks it can get desirable results by posting terrorism obama but in neighboring countries then it is making

a mistake we are ready to defend the security of the region and we call on all other countries to cooperate in this shit boss the loss of the jet comes as israel acknowledged for the first time and attack on iranian targets in syria. earlier i spoke to his middle east correspondent tanya kramer in jerusalem i started by asking her how serious this confrontation is. it is a one of the most serious situations we have seen in the north of the past he has one very significant one and also from the israeli side of a stone winning to iran that we had prime minister binyamin netanyahu he has been security meetings old day with the army saying that israel will defend itself against any attack and any attempt to violate its separate entity now is or has made it clear all along that it won't now and it may nion presence. its border

is near the israeli side of the occupied golan heights through and ukrainian presence or through the opinion backed hezbollah. so what is seen is on the one side you see a show of strength you know by all sides by is granted by iran by syria but on the other side there also calls for restraint and some of the military experts here in israel saying that all sides do not appear to seek an escalation but of course the tensions remain and certainly seems like they're bearing their teeth to say the least but israel is now saying it doesn't want an escalation can that really be avoided in light of what's happened. what i mean is it has always said that it doesn't want to see a presence of iran in the area now what is so they have said really clear lines and they acted accordingly so it what is quite new and the situation i mean

is when has carried out in the policy many as two acts against his positions or against and weapon transfers or other locations in syria over the past years doing the war in syria but usually there was not much of this one's from the assad regime now the response now has been quite strong and that's the new thing over here which creates all the tensions now iran syria the won't they say we won't no longer tolerate. entering the syrian as space so this is where of course all the coalition dies and the tensions align here tanya kremas for us in jerusalem thank you very much. now on to some of the other stories making news around the world at least eighteen people have been killed and dozens more injured in hong kong after a double decker bus crashed in the city suburb emergency workers hurried to pull passengers from the wreck the bus appears to have skidded and hit

a united team were right seventeenth in the world where it was the right six and it was really to be expected specially as just a couple weeks before the tournament has started these north koreans are brought into the squad squad haven't really had the time to prepare properly and to be properly fit they are also a second division team is not is that one of the big countries not the states that have the kind of don't count as of this world so i think republicans we do on the sporting side of things not so great diplomatic side of things very good very good in what we really personally like seeing with the north korean cheerleaders who were sent down from china to start from pyongyang to pyongyang to cheer on the united team and they just kept falling on the team throughout the whole game it just never stopped and it was a lovely thing to see that's very delightful and now we see that germany is on the medal table already who lost the first gold for the german team the very first goal of this year's olympics was from laura maya she's a biathlete she was at the last olympics as well she did not win a medal that time but today she wasn't just good she was absolutely powerful you can see here have the target she hit ten of them didn't miss

a single thing and that was despite the windy conditions and she finished the race of the twenty four seconds ahead of the chasing pack so that was really really good especially the said busted into a medal for her and really redemption for the german team after showing in sochi games where years ago and there's a second gold medal that followed pretty soon after for germany tell us what happened in ski jumping ski jumping that's very special sport for people who are afraid of heights on the gas vending and he's the man who wants every second gold medal which is somewhat unexpected actually so he he disappointed quite a few of the favorites going down the normal length which you'll see in a couple of seconds that particular hill they jump about one hundred meters so you go you can see the speed. and you can see the flight and that's about one hundred means that they do have a long good job that we have been through later on in the olympics one hundred twenty hundred thirty metres but this was one hundred metres and it is especially well but you have to wait because it was two more people who jumped after and you can see the founds already excited but you can see he was picked off to his where he was very much to the fetal position waiting to see what happened he ended up winning and he's the first to joblessness against vice who last won the gold in
