what are they saying now, following that stern warning from russia? reporter: first of all, sounds entirely deliberate, because the pentagon has given us basically the timeline of syria.ppened in this was a clear reaction to a syrian regime jet dropping bombs on an area where u.s.-supported troops, the syrian defense forces, were in position. so there isn't any doubt right this was whether deliberate or not. now, the white house has reacted since the warnings from the russians to this. they say the united states will defend its interests and will retain its rights to defend itself. that is relatively serious rhetoric when it comes to a possible confrontation between the united states and russia in the skies over syria. a confrontation is than it wassible before, because of what happened yesterday and because of the type of language being used by

both russia and the united states. and, of course, this comes at a time when the offensive for the de facto capital for the islamic state in syria, the it back from the islamic state group are under way. that means that the united states-led coalition is more active over raqqa, more air the united states and its partners, more u.s. jets in raqqa.es over all of this meaning that a potential confrontation between simply. and russia is more probable right now than it was before. >> we know the pentagon is trying to restart coordination, so-called deconflict channel when they can talk and coordinate their efforts in syrian airspace, which is getting increasingly crowded. what will be the consequences if refuses? reporter: it just means that a between alision russian fighter jet and a u.s. fighter jet, that is pretty much

scenario, or even an attack on one by the other is more likely, because it will be difficult toe identify who exactly is flying what over the skies of syria. this deconfliction hotline was put in place. was a way, and probably will be again very soon, a way for states to the united coordinate, to discuss things, despite the fact that they are in enemy camps when it comes to the civil war in syria. throughed states today the white house says it wants the communication lines to reopen again. that probably will be the case. this deconfliction line has been closed once before, was reopened then in a matter of just a few hours time. at a time of an offensive for the city of raqqa is much more important, because simply more jets in the skies over that particular general.r syria in and this is a line of communication that will be crucial for both countries.
