he sets his sights on a key mating and moscow. its --set to employ after turkey downs one of its planes in disputed circumstances. also coming up this hour, one of brazil's richest men and a senator have been arrested over the corruption scandal at the oil company petrobras. happy thanksgiving to our american viewers. introducingyou -- you to the brand-new totus. this is live from paris. we start in the united kingdom,

where the prime minister has been presenting its arguments for why britain should join the international coalition and carry out airstrikes against the islamic state in syria. let's hear what the prime minister had to say. >> action now is that the success in iraq and squeezing the so-called caliphate is put at risk by our failure to act in syria. seriously hamper our efforts if we stop acting when we reach the syrian border. when we come to the question why now, we have to ask ourselves whether the risks of inaction are greater than the risks of taking action. every day we fail to act is a day isil can go stronger -- grow stronger. >> let's bring in benedict have the own. we have the prime minister who has made his case for airstrikes in syria. really, what is

it, less than two weeks after the paris attacks and it really has been a game changer. here we have a british prime minister, a conservative prime minister making the case to extend the current british airstrikes in iraq to syria. he says it is not logical since i sold does not recognize any frontiers. isilsaw does not wreck -- does not recognize any frontiers. is britain going to make itself a bigger target by joining in airstrikes with its closest allies, france and the u.s.? no, it is not since intelligence services here have told the prime minister that the u.k. is among the top targets already of

daesh. a very strong case made here by the prime minister, and all the more unusual because he is actually making a statement to the house of commons as we speak. he made his initial statement and there are now questions from all sides. he is trying to get that majority vote that he failed to get two years ago, in august 2013, and had a humiliating defeat. he is actually responding to a not withback bench mps a polite letter but with a very serious statement. >> how much public support is therefore airstrikes in syria? >> public support is not actually going to be the green light but it is very important. the paris attacks have concentrated minds and shifted the mood.

according to polls, it is clear there is a majority feeling here in the british population that understands the need to strike against isil because it represents a very real threat. it is not lost on anybody here that what happened could have if the much worse threats had been properly carried out. this could happen here in the u.k. what the prime minister is looking for, he is trying to gauge the mood amongst mp's and he said today he will not put this to a vote. within hours, britain could join its allies in bombing syria. that will mean he is sure -- he has to be sure he has got the majority and can get the green light from all the mp's in the house of commons. >> reporting from london.

the british prime minister's words are likely to be welcomed by the french president. he is looking for joint action against the group in syria and the rock after the paris attacks -- and iraq after the paris attacks. the german chancellor saying she will stand i france but has so far in -- refused an increase in military action. thecois hollande met with italian prime minister before he heads to russia. today, i will go to moscow. all these meetings will enable us to draw lessons about what happened during this awful event in paris.

worse if the be international community in the face of terrorism and daesh, fails to make decisions. his visit to moscow comes as tensions between russia and turkey have escalated following this week's downing of a russian turkey. the kremlin has decided to deploy its air defense system to its base in syria. turkey's military has released what it calls warnings to the russian flight or jet he for it was shot down. -- before it was shot down. >> barely discernible but the turkish army says this recording proves it did or in the russian jet before it was shot down, but

it directly refutes the account given by the surviving russian pilot. warnings, notno radio or visual. there was no contact whatsoever. that is 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. a rocket hit our tale completely unexpectedly. we did not even see it in time to take evasive measures. >> both ejected from the plane after it was hit, but one of the pilots was shot dead as he parachuted to the ground. the captain denies crossing into syria's airspace. >> and aunt identified plane was warned -- an unidentified plane

was warned 10 times and five minutes because it was heading to our border but despite the warning, it insisted on violating our airspace. as a result, the aircraft was shot down. >> moscow said it would seriously reassess bilateral ties and what it calls a planned provocation. >> for more on this story and the french president's visit to russia, we go to thomas low. let's talk about francois hollande's trip to visit the russian president. support for a more unified force is not going to be an easy task, and turkey's downing of a russian plane has made things more difficult. what can i expect from the meeting today? hollande says he wants

nothing less than the complete destruction of islamic state as a fighting force, and that is why he is in moscow, to muscle this grand coalition. he insists russia needs to be a part of this, there is another way. the russian president has long said and repeated today that he is more than willing to be part of a grand coalition that will attack islamic state and terror groups on the ground in syria. french officials have suggested they are going to need compromises from russia in return for this cooperation. the first thing they want is they want russia to put pressure on bashar al-assad to stop striking civilians. second, they want russia to only hit islamic state groups and

other hard-core groups. we have seen the bombing campaign russia has been waging in syria, most of the strikes have targeted what the u.s. and europe call the moderate opposition, and only recently islamic state. last of all, the crucial question after this military, if we talk about a post-conflict syria, what will happen to bashar al-assad? francois hollande saying a transition. -- transition period was something they were willing to they do not want bashar al-assad as the head of state for a post war syria. what reactions have we seen from the kremlin today?

>> this is what we are hearing trucks fromt, turkey are being stopped at the border. -- thesident spokesperson for the russian president has said their inner a number of different -- there are a number of different reasons, one is a terror threat emanating from turkey. that is why goods are being stopped from the border. he is not talking about an embargo. have heard the ministry of our culture say that 50% of turkish agricultural products simply do not meet the standards , and a response presumably to the downing of the russian jet like turkish fighters. we could indeed see further trade and economic restrictions, including bans on turkish

agricultural products. >> thomas low reporting from the russian capital. as france tries to drum up international military support, belgium is trying to secure its domestic front. the manhunt is underway for at least two people wanted in connection with the paris attacks. the brussels lockdown ended yesterday. in capital suburb remains highlights as the center of extremism. >> the breeding ground for radicalism, that is the acquisition -- acquisition -- accusation. claims their security measures are too lax, the government is keen to prove it is taking action against home bread extremists. more than 160 jihadists have
