you're watching already live from moscow with me tom would say two turkish fighter jets have reportedly been detected over syria it's understood one of them has been shot down while other reports indicate it might have crash landed let's get the details from our tease i'm a real national she joins us live on the phone from damascus maria what else do we know about this reported incident. well we're hearing from local media here in damascus that indeed two foreign jats allegedly turkish have been detected in the skies over the syrian mediterranean port of latakia but although we've been receiving conflicting reports on exactly what happened to them some reports claim that one of the jazz was indeed dowell are this reports that one of the airplanes just made an emergency landing the second plane is thought to escape

this is all we have and again we are hearing that from local media while we haven't been receiving any official confirmation or any official comment from the syrian turkish side on the other hand we are hearing from turkish media as well about the country's plane crashed over the mediterranean sea without specifying the details of the result of the specific. location of weight happened after a radio and radio signals were lost with the plane we also have the information that the turkish. turkish forces are right now launching the operation to. find this missing plane and this is actually all we have so far. now these reports come off the planes their offices are supervising arms transfers to syria from turkey tell us more about that.

yes recent new york times report. citing unnamed american arab. intelligence officers have been claiming that. there is a good number of cia staff on the turkish southern border on the border with syria and while they're not crossing themselves into syria they are there to to somehow called innate a weapons smuggling to decide which armed groups inside syria to get what kind of phone and we're talking about here. we're talking here about weapons paid for by qatar saudi arabian turkey. itself we report is also saying that the cia officers are. thought to help the rebels with the recruiting and providing them with the information on the movements strategic information on the

movements of the governmental forces of the syrian government forces and the latest reports that these supplies include have we. and the cia offices themselves sadia there in the southern part of turkey to ensure no weapons go to al qaida while it's quite unclear exactly how they intend to do so and this news has made reports about not only rising muglia of arms and ammunitions into syria but also about the reports about dramatic escalation of the violence here in the country in the last two days we've been hearing about how the clashes in baba amr neighborhood in holmes one syria's largest city and the key opposition stronghold and it's also been hearing that it's been moving towards. to the north of the country to towards the turkish border so with bloodshed continuing with the reports like this continue to emerge about. arms been smuggled. so we expected for the escalation of the

ground here in syria unfortunately in the nearest future thank you very much there maria financial our correspondent live from damascus now the latest update from a turkish news agency is that the pilots of the crash turkish military plane have been rescued the pilots who are in good health us said to have been found in the mediterranean sea search and rescue teams are reportedly waiting for syrian authorities to issue the necessary permits and to locate the plane there's no official confirmation of these reports and we're also hearing the turkish prime minister to make a statement in one hour. now let's discuss this incident of further with the mother ellen de visiting professor of international relations from bill tens university in turkey who joins us alive from one current now i thank you so much professor for joining as a what do you make of these are reports that a turkish plane that might have been shot down in syrian air space. well it's quite

possible after all if the nato countries were really thinking about some kind of intervention to assist the rebels regime where the person would want to do is to knock out there is of course another princes so some kind of probing flight testing of radar syrian responses may be possible because it's also possible that it's a tragic mishap that the plane simply tried to sort of course into syria waters or that much of what was a rooms were anxious to protect were a space and a turkish very much been struck outside their waters we don't know exactly the location. now the syrian rebels have recently called for foreign intervention and some western politicians said earlier it could be on the cards is the timing of these reports about plays a significant. it could well be yes i mean you see one way of getting around the u.n. and bargo by the russia and china on intervention in syria is to make it into an

international crisis so long as the price is probably inside syria then the classic argument for international french or much of the global crisis the situation is pretty house the borders of the country concerned can be made if you however have an international crisis then perhaps you can find a way of pressuring russia and china to agree to action or you may say the nato countries have to go to be able to our of course we don't know yet exactly the circumstances that may be an incident that can be resolved diplomatically without any problem but of course it comes at such times time so even if nobody has proposed this incident it's likely to take her life and so in terms of crisis management of the syrian crisis with also were. nato countries relations with the rebels against the. present helmand ever these claims are all confirmed what could be the wider consequences. it could act as a trigger to further pressure on syria by nature on the other hand it could also be

a sign that the idea that you could have an easy bombing campaign over syria as you had against libya would be quite so clear cut maybe the hawks might begin to think that the risks of nato have pain to help the rebels have to any risks to the nato pilots one of the reasons why nato intervention kosovo to libya has been acceptable over the last four years is the casualties have been on enemy side not on the nato start not of claims of what i was in however that was to change the course perhaps the two thousand for intervention and the belief that it's something which only the other side take special to most would begin to diminish equally it may be course you cannot build a crisis out of the situation you could say that the syrians had acted aggressively there to take the turkish very long national waters depending on where it actually came down and where it was hit allowing that it was a little resort and exactly what. thank you very much mark ellman day visiting

professor of international relations from bill kins university in turkey live from ankara. julian a son chaz breaking his silence there for the first time since taking refuge in the ecuadorian embassy in london where he still always a decision on his request for political asylum in his interview the release editor said that even if his p.c. is unsuccessful his dramatic move has drawn the world's attention to what he describes as a conspiracy against him office treated by the u.s. for the brings us more from london. escape avoids these the words you're going to hear in the media at the moment relating to his songes decision what he said is that this is not about avoiding the sexual assault allegations against him in sweden far from that is that he thought really this was never about sweden it was the fear of what would happen to him once he was in sweden and the involvement of the us. from. the very serious. to the

announcement was made by discreetly that i would be detained without charge. your next edition if you were born frees prosecutor to come here you carry the part where you can run this point for the. procedure and or if you want her to explain or know what you are keeping score three track. while the united states i have prepared to meet so sense really that always leads to the us is maintaining that there is a grand jury deciding at the moment whether there would be charges brought against him in the us remember that in the us as being arjun stealing state secrets carries the death penalty still remember wiki leaks released a huge amount of information at the u.s. diplomatic cables that were released in two thousand and ten worst huge embarrassment to the u.s.

government so i mean there is no mistaking the fact that julian assange and is a man he certainly from his actions and from what he said is very fearful of what would happen to him in the u.s. official for his life in fact. very now every forty eight thousand one hundred thirty five if they are far out there are potential statements made in court prosecution bradley manning. found the managers of wiki leaks among the subjects of the grand jury hearing which are now going to. be subpoenaed everywhere through comment on public record of our american three grand jury we have received should. mention my name to people who are preparing to us report arrogated five you're right well this is julian assange just chance really to set the record straight he's just spent his third night in the ecuadorian embassy of course this is the latest dramatic twist in the ongoing saga it's been an eighteen

month legal battle for him in the end of last month we saw the u.k. supreme court reject his appeal against the extradition to sweden and the legal team in asuncion cells running out of options really and so he took this step seeking asylum at the ecuadorian embassy he says he's hopeful that that's going to be accepted if he were to go to sweden not only is the pretrial detention in sweden extremely harsh he wouldn't have access that he does right now to the media all the same freedoms remember he's been on house arrest in the case for more than five hundred days no clear indication of exactly what the outcome will be and the stakes remaining extremely high in his interview a son who once again slammed the australian government for a lack of support in his fight against extradition the whistleblower said is that this sense of abandonment by his homeland that made him turn to ecuador for help so anybody's generalism marry cost like he does as the australian authorities have

never had any interest in providing assistance. point is they haven't tried that's the problem disturbed has an obligation to its citizens to protect their human rights we live in an advanced western democracy we expect our government to act in a way that's principled and courageous and to show leadership in the protection of human rights astray he has lost all moral authority to litter other countries on human rights i think it's a very sad day for our country if the fact is that sweden has a rather different arrangement with the u.s. to the u.k. so it will be easier to get to the u.s. from sweden but let's not ignore the sect's sweden has covertly handed over people to the us handed over asylum seekers to the cia those people were tortured and in the end it was a case of mistaken identity so swigs track record is not good a sounders place in

a strange year he needs to be back here. well ecuador serve there before delivering its decision on a sunday they have to weigh up all the information and assess if his possible extradition to the us presents a threat to his life eleven american countries president rafael correa is sympathetic to the cause of we can leaks something he made clear during a recent interview show that as here on our team you can watch a rerun of their program in less than twenty minutes. time julian assange. it is true but expose the world secret these documents belong the united states government being attacked by the powerful united states strongly condemn the graphic on the wall illegally shoot five hundred days now i've been detained without charge. that hasn't stopped. the day we are on

a quest for relief ideas that can change the world tomorrow. marti's has less of the ratings of fifteen of the biggest banks in europe and the u.s. in the latest slap in the phaser to the ailing financial sector those hits include goldman sachs morgan stanley royal bank of scotland and deutsche bank a financial pass' domestically and internationally the move could make it more expensive for the banks to attract funds it's also fear the downgrades could trigger a fresh market panic and a new exodus to gold financial expert to mexico says the politicians might try to exploit the dung great to push through their own agenda. they of course will use this opportunity to put forward more global governance more centralized government more commanding control more state run operations a less democracy less the market activity less free competition so all of those

things are being displaced by state controlled command and control bank and fascist relationship with governments and that's growing to the detriment of people in greece who are now suffering the real consequences people are dying in the street they can't afford health care they can't afford food but i would sometimes we're going to hear this hijacking scenario where the some of them technocrats like mario monti put a gun to the people said and say either give us all your money you're going to take all your assets you can do it anyway so i want to form some kind of resistance against this global occupation by bankers you know the people have to stand up and realize that no one's going to help them but themselves they need to push out the kleptocrats of the the banking terrorists as i call them and stand up for themselves until they do something for themselves no money to do anything for them . the ministry route is a say claims of victory in the country's presidential election before the official results on nouns are behind the growing political divisions in the country it's

seen as an attempt to pin blame for the turmoil on the muslim brotherhood was declared the candidates the wind meanwhile tens of thousands are rallying on cairo's to hear the square against the delay in the official announcement of the election results on this now they live for us and paula i know it's a little bit loud there but what's going on around you at the moment. while there have been tens of thousands of people gathering harry and have his way here you have money as you have a high family on the ruling military to step down and at the same time the naming brotherhood candidate mohamed morsi when it now on friday the military issued a statement in which it was my friend of the waves. tensions by declaring their candidate the winner of last weekend's presidential election at the same time its effect only in front of thousands of people to the streets to celebrate his victory is only going to potentially lead to further violence the army is edging people to

remain calm and it justifies its recent grab onto power by saying that this is necessary to build egypt last week the army issued an interim constitution which effectively undermines the powers of the would be president now most of the people here in traffic today are muslim brotherhood supporters they've called for a million people at this stage it looks like we have several tens of thousands but the crowd continues to riot keeping away are supporters of africa chafee quote was the content of muslim brotherhood but essentially we are expecting these people to remain here in taf you know until sunday when those official election results are issued. the corner of any size the country will finally officially learn the name of the present alleges that they might learn this on sunday is as is a done deal and we know we show that on sunday we're going to be giving up the president elect's name or is there still going to be some contest on who is the

president elect. well it's very difficult to hear you as you can well imagine but i can tell you that the protesters here have found that if indeed their candidate mohamed morsi is not elected then they will be violent so that is why the army as well as many in the international community many people here in egypt are afraid that we could be looking at a showdown the shafiq can is insisting exactly the same what the morsy camp is insisting and that is that their candidate has won they are also concerned that the muslim brotherhood which are nonstop violence in decades ago will take up arms should a candidate not come forward there's a pro shafiq newspaper today that's running an editorial and i'm quite. to you that they say the muslim brotherhood plans to arm young men and position snipers and gunmen on top of the buildings at the same time there are many people who have stayed away from taffy is way they're accusing the muslim brotherhood of hijacking these demonstrations and they say that the muslim brotherhood is intent on making

sure that its own aims are achieved and that the revolution essentially has been undone and it's fair to say that egypt is in a state of flux the country is on edge it's really hard to predict who will be announced the next president come sunday for indeed it happens on sunday the election commission says it is we visited some four hundred complaints and that is why it has delayed the results of that election that were due to be released yesterday already. thank you very much they pull us here live from cairo. now taking a look at other news from around the world at this hour twenty people including twelve civilians are dead after a taliban attack on lay side hotel north of kabul dozens of hostages were freed by afghan security forces several hoteliers jumped into the lead to escape the gunfire present time because i has warned that attacks were increasing in the run up to nato troops leaving in twenty fourteen he made the comments after twenty one people

were killed in an assault on an afghan checkpoint earlier this week. defends the lawyers of four unders of bravery to have tried to paint him as an extreme is that driven by political ideas rather than an inflamed killer responsible for the deaths of seventy seven people in norway last year on the final day of his trial his lawyers said he is in say he is sane despite offers of claims by prosecutors yesterday who said he should be placed in a psychiatric care instead of prison judges will consider his sanity before they issue a final verdict in august families of victims walked out of the court in protest and brave if the temperatures justified the massacre. now returning to our top story now reports of a turkish warplane has been detected over syrian territory in some local media reports suggest it was shot down by syrian forces while others claim to crash landed turkey said on friday it had lost contact with

a one of its military aircraft while it was over the sea off a southern coast in the military and that happened after the plane took off from an eastern province which borders syria according to a turkish news agency two pilots who were on board the missing jet have been rescued in the mediterranean search and rescue teams are reportedly waiting for syrian authorities to issue the necessary permits to locate the plane there's no official confirmation of these reports. now time now for the business news and at the end all meeting of economic heavy hitters of the st petersburg forum is in full swing in rushes and also in capital. business artsy and daniel bushel is there for us with an exclusive and in-depth coverage of the high profile gathering hi daniel what are the highlights today of

the economic forum. there's been a series of big announcements russia will top its reserve fund to prop up the economy if the eurozone situation plunges the country into crisis this year the comments by new economy minister on jay bellows of here have frightened businessmen already scared by the thousand rate of fifteen top world banks by moody's just now the credit rating agency we spoke to the vice chairman of one of those cut citi group called us gutierrez called the move a step back which doesn't reflect the banks positive future but that of russia's top lenders that is too strong to be affected by those problems which. is because the downgrade decisions were not unexpected and the markets didn't react to them so i don't think these actions will have any additional impact meanwhile our ratings don't have a single reason to be downgraded we are currently in a very stable situation which could be the envy of many western partners. earlier i spoke with italian energy giant and l's boss who complains that russia's government

has gone back on its promise to introduce market prices for electricity providers and alone is one of the biggest power providers power plants are g.k. five it called although thought is to keep their word the side of the russian government is that they say because of the economic situation it's very difficult to raise prices for consumers in this economic climate so you can see this side as well but n.l. says it really needs that that help from the government in order to invest further in those power plants here in russia to use first of all i would like them to continue to leave policy position possibly increasing the price for the. markets continue to subsidize consumer is a policy that. we think the right decision to take to family will be the right one. for the rest of the market space

to have pricing for. but the most anticipated deal. to develop one of the world's biggest. already in the project but the head of total told us it isn't yet. one of their using the agreement before. so. do you have some figures for us yes i did and american markets also open so we'll start with those and see how investors are reacting to the downgrade of those fifteen banks that were consulting about as we can see there both the dow and the nasdaq rose again we seem to be having a glitch where the figure is a sin as the markets open here and since no piece of data but what we do know is of

both the dow and the adding this hour and that's because investors out focus in on the european central bank which said that it would ease bank collaterals for the banks as i said they're now the folks in the facts are shedding as you can see in this is correct and this is because investors cannot get over those downgrades and also when the when it comes to germany business confidence is the cruising not a helper of course now moving on to currencies the euro is gaining against the dollar if we can take a look at those and the ruble as lucent against both major currencies are let's skip the currencies a soldier about them so let's take a look at russian markets and they are still a nosedive and that's not only because of oil prices that are around eight months lows but also because investors here of course of reacting to the news coming up from europe and the u.s. there and finally let's take a look at those oil prices which right now we can see that they're adding value we can see the fault lies with the higher but there is still the prices in general are

lower than expected and this is what we have time for in the business the headlines are next with happy.

the. line in motion would be soon which brightened if you only bounce around from phones

to christians. nice friends don't talk t.v. don't come. there hasn't been anything good on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact possible. before the source material is what helps keep journalism honest we. we want to present. something else. on. the news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada.
