syrian air defenses have destroyed a turkish fighter jet thought it violated their space in the country's north ankara however is now vowing decisive action in response well correspondent in damascus with an ocean has more on this developing story. both turkey and syria have now confirmed that turkish fighter jet was downed by syrian military but still the countries have different views on why and how it happened we are hearing from local media here in damascus that syrian military officials are saying that they acted according to international law because the plate did violate the regulation and did and to the syrian airspace and they also say that the plane has been flying at low altitude and at the very. is that makes. a difference they still made me want to keep saying that has made you a little late well it was flying over the turkish part of the new terrain in

following the emergency meeting of the country's security council we've been hearing from the turkish prime minister as a gonzo face that turkey is ready to take all measures necessary decisively when the details of this incident and most so we're hearing such a strong statement while the decisions to continue but we have turned the stand that this incident has come at the time of increased dollars here in syria and this new development with nato a nato member a find to a church showdown of course may provoke even through the escalation and may even lead to catastrophe we've been hearing from the alliance's chief ross misson about possible intervention in case of. a so. if the saudis fail to find a unified solution to any and support to un google and many experts now say that these recent incident could be used by nato as

a pretext to start. to be known as a kind of like the syrian revolution we've been hearing lol too many reports about rebels being stationed in the country and training there would be hearing a lot about weapons being smuggled through. the syrian border and just recently the information in the cia stopped being. in the southern part of the country not far from the syrian border called in one thousand weapons smuggling out in the rebels was recruiting and providing that. information statistical information on the movements of the syrian army so syria turkey has been involved in this conflict of its neighbor and the question just remains open how far took you will go to topple the regime it has been condemning repeatedly. and cathal an academic on the middle east specialist says intrusion into syrian airspace by a turkish warpaint was no accident i don't think it was simply

a reconnaissance mission it is a survey of prole. syrian security initiative an ability to protect its borders. wide by the us to turkey and of course. the united states and turkey can claim that syria. attacked it. would be rude but which they would you know if they wanted to further intervene so what you have here is a completely out intervention and to the pharmacy. and part of their larger plan to you then you have to do many quarreling into the area and then alternately attack iran and libya and syria or opportunistic addition to this

plan. well special u.n. peace envoy kofi annan has reiterated that iran has a role to play in mediating an end to the violence in syria the comment was made after a slew of declarations from western leaders opposing terror on being given any such role when a point not has more now on the envoys v's. in exactly one month the u.n. supervision mission in syria will expire and at this point the international community is attempting to exhaust all options one of those options according to joint special envoy kofi annan is to form a contact group meeting one that could take place as soon as june thirtieth in geneva joint special envoy kofi annan says that in that contact group it would be a meeting of the permanent members of the security council members of the european union and also countries that have direct influence on. opposition groups in syria as well as the syrian government mr kofi annan says that he has made it clear

that he believes that iran should be part of that contact group part of a solution that the international community would like to see in syria the u.s. and its western allies were very much against sitting down a table with iran or having iran play a role in solving the crisis in syria mr noms comments come as there are fresh reports about the slaughter of some twenty five men near the northern city of aleppo in syria from what has been described in by accounts from opposition and syrian state media there rebels in syria were responsible for this ambush of course a thorough independent investigation has not been conducted yet but what is quite clear is that the massacres in cities throughout syria are getting bolder

with signs of immense brutality the violence officials have been warning is getting . very dire point and at this point the u.n. mission in syria remains suspended with limited activity for weeks to go before potentially expires so there may be a conference meeting among many nations at the end of this month and that is something that joint special envoy kofi annan believes that iran should be a part of. well coming up later this hour booze confuse are to investigate whether twenty two it's all about sports fans just a good excuse for a big drinking contest also. a mere. two hundred thousand that's how much this big bucks in the big apple the rest into separate logic paypacket really does mean more happiness and a greater sense of success. ecuador has recalled its ambassador to the u.k.

for consultations over an asylum from the wiki leaks editor during the song the president of the latin american states says it's being closely discussed with other governments involved faces extradition from britain to sweden for many fears he could eventually be sent to the u.s. . and church reports from ecuador's capital quito. well on the sanchez been claiming that his case was politically motivated denying sex crime allegations for which he's wanted for questioning in sweden and it's exactly those claims of political nature of the case that are being parley looked into here in ecuador where there is still no sign that a decision is on the way now president rafael correa says ecuadorian authorities are assessing if there's a real threat to a songes life the latin american leader has stressed that ecuador rejected the penalty so if he finds there are strong grounds to songes fears of being ultimately extradited to the united states he might decide the whistleblower needs protection

and he would have pretty little if we have to see if there's any death threats against julian assange will have to analyze his reasons for requesting asylum if he's had due process ecuador is a country that rejects persecution for ideological motives. lost his extradition appeal to the u.k. supreme court at best it could delay his removal from the u.k. but either we could accept it there is ultimately handed over to sweden is likely to be detained immediately that's what assad said himself in his first public comments since he took refugee in the ecuadorian embassy on tuesday after having spent eighteen months under house arrest without charge that we can accept it or it's not looming as tradition to sweden that worries him the most but his possible removal to the united states where he claims he is the subject of grand jury proceedings he also said that the u.k. and sweden deliberately slowed down his case to allow the u.s. time to drop charges against him for leaking hundreds of thousands of secret u.s.

documents while ecuador might hope to be seen as a defender of these are the ideas by accepting the world's number one whistleblower as a political refugee it could be made to suffer for its actions for example it's been suggested that there is trade with united states and consequently thousands of jobs my suffer immensely if the latin american countries shelters and assign share. there is a lot more to these than rules the eye we have to wait and see how does a seemingly never ending saga plays out. but sarge accuses australia of lack of involvement in his case saying he's had no concept contact except for text messages since december twenty ten a sydney based journalist americans to keep this as a thought is there never wanted to protect their controversial citizen. or do so hasn't tried that's the problem the state 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 history has lost all moral authority to lecture other countries on human rights i think it's a very sad day for our country if the sec does this region has a rather different arrangement with the us to the u.k. so it will be easier to get to the us from sweden but let's not ignore the facts sweden has covertly handed over people to the us handed over side of secrets 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 we have a lot more faith in the u.k. legal system and in due process thing followed in the u.k. but a sound just place in a strain yet he needs to be back here. well that we've been following the case against your innocence since the very beginning so you can trace it back on our web

facebook page and twitter feeds where we've got all the very latest. if. while football fans revel in the throws on the pitch in europe twenty twelve others have been excited because it's one of the perils weeks of heavy drinking sarah firth found out whether british supporters know what enough's enough. today's the tickets they'll be in a better place to catch the game then down the local pub watching football in the

pub can be absolutely fantastic it's a great big communal shared experience and many great games big hundreds of people there's not been an ounce of trouble just a fantastic atmosphere and if you can't be there a lot of people feel it's the kind of the next best thing so things like the knights. could turn ugly but when it's right is a wonderful why to watch football having a pint worth watching the game is part of the english drinking culture and thousands of books in london's bars and pubs. were always a responsible drinking. game. but say something very different.

is a big problem for us and over all we've the last five six years we've seen a massive increase in our households and when you move around sixty thousand incidents every year the london ambulance service operate. very drunk on the regular. alcohol recovery. friday and saturday night extra services are now being provided. big football games complete especially. for the euro. every single employee and behavior from drunken english fans can be more than a little. of . every. before we go. because what happens is. most people when they're drunk. as well. that by

providing this service that more cost to the taxpayer is the british government scoring a goal by catering for the problem rather than tackling it head on and england's better than expected performance which meant more people out drinking and being a weekend time to get drunk because a belated kick off. and alcohol and you put them together generally speaking you'll find it doesn't matter whether your team's winning or losing in general people will use that as an excuse to drink and so our advice is to keep an eye on how much you're drinking. tournament not just going but actually let's remember that the tournament lasts for three weeks so if you're drinking a lot each game actually i've got three week period you live in might have taken a bit of a battering with these the fans letting the side down by being such a burden to the health service many feel it's high time english football supporters say that up there are things and. some other stories making headlines

around the world paraguayan president fernando lugo has been ousted from office after a five hour trial the country's vice president sworn in to take his place the senate voted to impeach him over his handling of a forced landing picture last week in which seventeen police officers and farmers died the dismissal has sparked protests in the country's capital clashes between supporters and your thought is. the leaders of germany france italy and spain have agreed to push for a growth package with one hundred thirty billion euros as a means to kickstart the euro zone's recovery they met in rome ahead of next week's crucial e.u. summit before leaders hope to create a united front that could force a consensus in the union. italy's prime minister mario monti warned that if the summit fails soaring borrowing costs in europe will continue to rise and weaker economies will face increased pressure to the. protests by bolivian police

demanding better pay have spread throughout the country of four thousand officers taking over the barracks gunless began on thursday around thirty police and their wives seized an elite units headquarters close to the presidential palace in two thousand and three a revolt over wages in the same place where the current protest started there to a gunfight with soldiers which killed one thousand people. there it seems that turned their matter what country you live in the amount you earn is always a top priority what is arrested i ask people in new york how much it would take to make them feel happy if it's ever possible to keep completely satisfied with their salary. how much of an annual salary would make you feel successful this week let's talk about that thirty five zero euro per year that would be enough for you i think it would be good seventy five thousand here on

a grand hundred grand it's forty thousand dollars some preserve the fund really serves five with forty thousand dollars around a better hundred fifty thousand per couple or so that would make you feel like that's all i would say probably. two hundred thousand dollars that's a lot yeah but this is why do people want so much money can it in the united states we think about its consumption but everyone knows that the things that you own own you and that the simple life can make you happy why does no one subscribe to that it's just philosophical it's what we grew up with it's what we were trained with it's what we believe do you think the answer varies from country to country in terms of success or i'm sure it does so what do you think on the scale americans fit and. do we need more money or less money more. yet because we have all the stuff especially in america a money is everything america is

a money well we like to live you know because we. live well you know schoolteachers to definitely earn more banks why do you think that schoolteachers earn so much less than people who don't necessarily add as much value as you do i think it's because we're just good natured and we are caring and we don't we're not in it for the money sound yeah so those kinds of jobs are going to get paid less because you're not greedy as much money as i need. to live healthy and with my family. and to be lucky i think that's that's all i don't need that much money no more than that no not more than that do you think if you made more than that you'd be happier that's though i think you spend what you make so no matter what you're just going to spend what you make yes so if you make eighty thousand dollars you're going to spend more i'm going to

spend more and i'm getting a bigger house and a bigger boat and everything else to go with it you don't need that stuff. yes a view of. the bottom line is your annual salary might increase but that doesn't mean your happiness will necessarily increase with it. now the annual meeting of economic heavy hitters the st petersburg forum is wrapping up in russia's the in capital. following events in st petersburg for us hi there dimitri a well run us through the highlights. well basically the forum is a highlight on its own is the most important economic event at least in russia of every year and now this is the only place where you can find so many celebrities from the business and the political scene all under the same roof and given that

the venue is so splendid it is a spectacular city st petersburg especially this time of the year when we have very nice weather and white nights so basically the only turn of the only kind of mood spoiler is the backdrop of the economic crisis of the debt crisis in europe so this has been creating of course a lot of turmoil a lot of anxiety from from all the participants it's been widely discussed and russia has come out to basically the government with a set of reforms which will prepare russia for the worst even though we're not necessarily heading towards a financial apocalypse let's listen to the minister of economic development. that we've prepared to stress budgets an article based on an oil price of sixty dollars per barrel not as mean we're expecting a drop to that level but the exercise has been done to help the government understand what to do in such a situation just to remind you at one point back in two thousand and eight we had

capital outflows of one billion dollars or twenty so in such cases time is vital. so really apart from a liberalization the privatization of state companies and no capital flow limits indeed russia is focused very much on this forum going away from oil and gas about budgeting not based on the oil price and this is a very nice time to do that to to make these comments because we have seen oil prices dropped around one thousand nine hundred ninety one dollars per barrel over these days and therefore the ruble has been weakening very much and this has been creating a lot of a lot of worries among participants especially in the banking sector. so i strongly believe first far as i know the sentiment is nothing more brussels if you know the point. so we don't expect it i don't it's going to be interesting although. i don't

think this is the belief if. you do it sooner if you do it's like we were one of the. very poetic comparison there from mr carson well of form is not a forum without major deals being signed and we have seen around three and a half billion dollars worth of deals signed during this this years for a notably in the energy sector we've had a ross never signed a deal with norway stats or a little any creating joint ventures for arctic exploration then again we've had infrastructure construction deals and deals in the pharmaceutical sector and air transport so these are the highlights of the forum it has been indeed a success despite the negative backdrop of the crisis as indeed hurricane me too thank you for that update. well now a recap of our top stories is coming your way shortly followed by the latest additional of the kaiser report.
