anchor: vladimir putin has defended russia's military operations in syria. the russian leader says the aim is to stabilize the legitimate authority a president assad. he denies russian airstrikes have been used to target moderate opposition groups rather than the islamic state group. vladimir putin is on a mission to reassure his era eraners -- era partners -- partners. he hosted a tour on sunday. he said russia's gold in syria is to fight the islamic state grim, not form an alliance with iran. >> our russian friends said their main goal was to fight against the islamic state group and terrorism. >> russia has intensified its bombing campaign in syria, but moscow has been accused of targeting rebel groups including moderate opposition forces. theur goal is to stabilize

local authorities -- lawful authorities and create conditions for finding a political compromise. stabilize the lawful authorities. what vladimir putin means is russia will do everything in its power to protect its ally, bashar al-assad. numbers of the international coalition want to see a political transition. one more time the position of the kingdom of saudi arabia and stand for assad's abdication lusted -- continuing our support for moderate forces. both russian and arab nations say they want to pay the way to peaceful resolution to the conflict, a war that has been ravaging syria for 4.5 years. anchor: that story coming out of turkey with the turkish government increasingly saying

most likely the islamic state group is responsible for those twin bombings over the weekend. for more, let's go to and car -- ankara. the turkish government says it has been making progress as it attends to identify those responsible for the deadly attacks. what are you able to tell us? the prime minister said in a television interview this morning that it has been determined how the suicide bombers got here. a second bomber detonated his explosives about five meters away from me on the road. i am in front of the ankara central station. the prime minister also said we are close to a name, and the name points to one group. he was referring to the islamic state. one hopes with determining the travel route of the bombers the state will be able to take steps

so they can catch such bombers in the future. it should be pointed out turkey does employ metal detectors at big rallies. i have been to rallies in ankara before. what tends to happen is the marchers assembled here in front of the station and march about 1.5 kilometers to the square in the city center over there. but the problem is the metal detectors are only stationed at the entrance to the square. what government critics have been saying in the past two days is they should have put up the metal detectors here where the people were assembling, and then they would have caught the ball bearings packed in the suicide vests of the bombers. anchor: reports in the last hour of turkish jets apparently being harassed by the syrian missile system. >> yes.

since the russian air force began flying missions against the enemies of president assad at the beginning of the month, turkish air force pilots have reported a number of times that russian missile systems have locked onto their planes prior to firing a missile at them. no missiles have been fired so far. this is the first time i have heard of a syrian missile system locking onto a turkish air for playing -- air force plane. it has been syrian the syrian -- it has been said the syrian airspace is rather crowded at this moment. you have the russian air force, the u.s. air force, the turkish air force along the border. inevitably, this increases the opportunity for one side shooting down the plane of another. anchor: thank you.

the same way of defense, which is self-defense, because they think these people are a threat to their homeland, so they will strike them. which is new for european countries. the united states did it when yemen,d it in your -- and a few months ago in pakistan. these countries were much criticized in europe. today, we see europe is going one step beyond and targeting its own citizens in an extrajudicial way which is new and opens a nupathe in the conflict. somehow, european countries are reconsidering their principles in this kind of work. -- this kind of war. anchor: thank you. the president of belarus has won a fifth term in office. he took more than 83% of the vote with a turnout of over 86%.
