and iraq. and i will be very tempted to what -- very attentive to what the chancellor will say about that. and i am aware of the rules in germany with regard to external intervention. but if germany could go further, it would be a very good sign in the fight against terrorism. chancellor merkel: the president has invited me to consider any additional responsibilities that germany could take on. we will react swiftly because we want to fight against terrorism. this is our mission, this is our duty, and we must act with determination. anchor: let's get some analysis on angela merkel's visit to paris. jennifer, a very good evening. ear -- hearing from francois hollande, asking germany to

commit even more to the fight against islamic state, what is germany's position on this? merkel made it clear that she would not rule out andher military engagement that they would take this very seriously. germany has not really taken part in any offensive military operations, for historical reasons. [indiscernible] that help is in the for of training missions the peshmerga -- the kurdish peshmerga fighting isis. [indiscernible] possibly in mali. [indiscernible] ease the e.u.g to

burden. other than that, merkel would have to go to parliament. [indiscernible] rochelle: we are having a slight problem with the clarity there. we will leave it there for now. thank you. france's lower house of parliament has voted to extend airstrikes against islamic state targets in syria after the group claimed responsibility for deadly attacks in paris. the national assembly voted to approve the measure with 515 votes for and just four votes against. french fighter jets joined the u.s.-led coalition against i.s. in iraq in 2014, but expanded their targets to syria in september of this year. news, theorld

surviving pilot of a russian plane that was set -- shot down by turkey says a turkish jet issued no warnings beforehand and stressed his plane did not enter turkey's airspace. ankara said it was unaware the plane was russian, but says it gave 10 warnings before shooting it down. the issue has raised -- the incident has raised tensions between moscow and ankara. julia kim has the details. >> [indiscernible] julia: indiscernible, but the turkish army says that it proves that it did warn the russian jet before it was shot down. it directly contradicts accounts given by the russian pilot just hours earlier on wednesday. warnings, notno radio nor visual. there was no contact whatsoever. that's why we kept our combat

course as usual. if they wanted to warn us, they could have shown themselves by heading on a parallel course, but there was nothing. and the rocket hit our tale completely unexpectedly. we did not even see it in time to take evasive measures. julia: both airmen ejected from the plane after it was hit by a turkish-16, but one of the pilots was shot dead as he parachuted to the ground. the captain denies crossing into turkish airspace, but his version of the incident occurred directly contradicts that of the turkish government -- incident directly contradicts that of the turkish government. >> the plane was warned 10 times in five minutes before it entered our airspace, because it was heading to our borders. it insisted on violating airspace. as a result of this, the f-16 was shot down. julia: moscow says it would

reconsider ties in light of the planned provocation. rochelle: thomas more is in moscow -- thomas moore is in moscow. russia clearly disputes claims warnings andssued claim they did not violate turkish airspace. thomas: he held a reasonably from the russian airbase, not far from where the russian jet came down in the -- in latakia. that norussian tv warnings were given before the russian jet was shot down. we also heard him say that he couldn't possibly have veered into turkish airspace because he said neither -- and these are his words that he knows the area like the back of his hand, that he simply could not have made

that mistake. obviously, that runs counter, as we heard in that report, to what the turkish government and turkish army have said, but we heard more details about his very dramatic escape as he ejected from that plane that was shot at from the ground, but survived. the pilot was killed before he hit the ground, apparently. we are told this was a 12-our mission. it involved -- 12-hour mission. elite soldiers. training on how not to be trapped in extreme situations like this, so he tried to evade the opposition forces until dark, at which point he radioed the commanders to tell him where he was and was picked up by those syrian troops. rochelle: lucky escape for this soldier. russian officials have stressed there will not be any military response.

their rhetoric has been pretty strong against turkey. thomas: very strong rhetoric, particularly from the very top, vladimir putin saying that this shooting down of the russian plane was a stab in the back by turkey. it has become quite a famous phrase and certainly pretends very serious -- certainly portends very serious consequences. the military response has been ruled out against turkey. that's very important. it doesn't seem to have been ruled out against interest -- against its interests, however. we heard from contacts that heavy bombardment has been happening in north latakia, where that plane went down. we are hearing that three civilians have been killed, a convoy of trucks, some carrying aid, was also hit. we cannot confirm that these were russian planes. we can only confirm that russian planes were operating in the area. if this is indeed true, then it

certainly is a show of force, in a measured show of force, and certainly not against turkey, but against its interests. anchor: thomas lowe -- the latest reactions from russia on moscow -- on turkey. a bus explosion killed 12 people on tuesday. it exploded just meters from the interior minister. it comes following -- the interior ministry. it comes following two major attacks that targeted key tourist sites. the president of tunisia has announced it will close its land border with libya for at least a fortnight. reopenednd metros have in the belgian capital following a four-day shutdown sparked by the highest level terror threat across brussels. security remained high with armed police patrolling the city streets. authorities fear paris-style
