russia calls the u.s. downing of a syrian military jet over a disputed battlefield illegal but washington number less adamant that it was an act of self-defense for the latest on that story rambling on also to this morning afghan local speak exclusively to us about the horrors unfolding in the north of the country as a new islamic state cell takes root there an. elite the pressure builds on the u.k. prime minister to resign may offer a fourth terror attack strikes the country in just three months.
3:01 am
well over a good morning for me kevin owen here it out today this choose to mourn the twentieth of june it's now ten in the morning here first the u.s. says it's downing of a syrian warplane on saturday was an act of self-defense but russia disagrees and has halted its cooperation with the u.s. led coalition in syria because of the incident and looks into washington his claims . for the fourth time in three months u.s. coalition forces have directly attacked the syrian pro-government forces this time a syrian army jet that was in the skies as part of antiterrorism operations was shot down now on previous occasions there have been harsh words but this time moscow says enough is enough any aircraft belonging to the u.s. led coalition detected in the skies west of the euphrates river with the russian
3:02 am
air forces operating will be tracked to targets by russian air defense systems the usa has responded to moscow with a verbal barb insisting that it has the right to self-defense now the un is worried about things escalating it does bring up more broadly or deep concern about the risk of possible miscalculation and escalation in the conflict in syria let's go over the facts the u.s. coalition says that it acted in self-defense the usa is in syria without the permission of the internationally recognized syrian government after essentially invading a country the usa then attacks the internationally recognized government i think the term self-defense doesn't exactly apply here especially when you take into account the downed a jet was on an anti isis mission secondly u.s. leaders insist that they are operating in a de confliction zone well no one other than the pentagon has ever agreed to that maybe there's owns that have been established unilaterally where the coalition
3:03 am
thinks that he will do whatever it wants we don't recognize such zones. as you know there are already deescalation zones that have been agreed on and established by syria iran turkey and russia and the steps by the coalition which don't receive consent from damascus are not legitimate and that's u.s. foreign policy one hundred one we can the united states can do whatever it wants with no ramifications there's no justification for the united states operating there and u.s. is you know they're going to. to try and justify you know any expansion any operations and any way that they can and what are the motives behind them disagreeing and on this you know it's they want to gobble up territory they want to control stuff and they want to they want to take it away from the syrian government is maybe the first obvious one now we've been hearing about self defense and d. confliction zones for quite a while now the claims don't get any more true the more often they're repeated but
3:04 am
how far is the u.s. willing to push its escalation and intervention in syria before things get out of hand caleb mop and artsy new york washington's top military commander was hard pressed to explain the legal grounds for targeting the syrian military and his response fell pretty flat beer there and have legal justification in new york through zation use military force we are prosecuting a campaign against isis and in syria general dunford is referring to the authorization for the use of military force that was passed in two thousand and one after nine eleven that was related to al qaeda in afghanistan so now he's trying to pretend that this somehow justifies attacking syrian ground forces and syrian air force inside syria so what we've got going on is a clear violation of international law it's illegal to fund a proxy army attacking a sovereign state it's illegal to fly over a state without authorization and it's obvious act of war and aggression to go into

3:09 am
a thousand dollars that's why so many join him for reference that's about five times more than afghan soldiers are paid attempting some refugees say corrupt afghan army troops sell as the weapons he needs them and foreign sponsors many chose to resist some did so by running away risking starvation rather than leave and as a terror radical rule others resisted with our arms. sure is a militia leader he has organized locals into a small force to resist as azula the government the us they don't help we finance ourselves by selling our houses and lands to buy weapons and ammunition all the locals and the fighters we've spoken to say the same thing the afghan army sits idle selling weapons to the united states and its marines jets and coalition

3:12 am
a funeral me you may recall it was immediately condemned by the u.n. the organization warned then it was violating its coalition's obligations not saudi arabia said it carried out an investigation into the incident and said that it happened after they received incorrect information from yemen's military former u.s. diplomat steve jett triss still to see believes the kingdom feels it can do it it likes and go unpunished. we've got. areas of yemen on the verge of starvation the possibility of the outbreak of cholera this is a war basically targeting the yemeni people inflicting great damage carnage on the people in yemen and how much how much are we seeing really at all in the western media about this and meanwhile the united states britain and other countries keep supporting the saudis with weapons with logistic with political support they pretend that they're fighting terrorism there it's really it's really
3:13 am
despicable for crown prince mohammad who feels that he has such a backing from washington he can engage in all sorts of risky and adventurous behavior and it's not going to come back to bite him and i think that if he keeps up this way it's going to end up above all destabilizing saudi arabia ten thirty in the morning here in moscow after the quick break we look at the challenges facing u.k. prime minister to resign may as the country comes to terms with another terror attack . what politicians do you suppose to. put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to. you to go right to the press this is like before three of them can't be good. i'm

a bomb threat and had to be evacuated authorities have now increased security around all places of worship but that hasn't been laid everyone's fair is the important thing to know is that this is a very very different types of things we've had before this was specifically targeted towards a minority community and the key thing to say here is that in the past we've had. about dividing lines between community how you have to separate you know this the british society and this muslim society and how this somehow the dividing line what this attack reminds us is that the only dividing line that exists is those who believe in justice freedom and peace and community cohesion and those who don't there are huge community tensions in this country the british muslim community have quite rightly emphasized that over time there have been rises in the number of attacks on our community islamophobia it's acts what needs to be a socio economic changes to our society and some clearly political leadership happened here in finsbury park has shown yet again how sadly the
