the top stories on me a russian military chats with fourteen people on board goes missing off the syrian coast during an israeli bombardment in the to care province. russia take a agree to create the demilitarized saying between syrian government forces and militants as a counterterrorist operation is put on hold. protests erupted in the libyan capital on sunday even living conditions house amid seven years of war following foreign intervention and the country.

hello and welcome to r.t. international we start with some breaking news a russian military aircraft with fourteen personnel on board has disappeared from radar coverage off the coast of syria according to the russian defense ministry took off from an ad base and province let's cross live to our own. staying with syria the russian presidents have agreed to create a buffer zone in syria's in the province the goal is to separate syrian government forces from militants in the country's last major rebel stronghold. along the battle to militarize. fifteen it will be from fifteen to twenty kilometers one will move radicalize militants although this including. according to the u.n. there are still around ten thousand al qaeda and this for

a fight is based in the province the question of how to deal with them has dominated international talks for the past few weeks medina caution of a house more on the situation. very important decisions were indeed made during those hours a long talks between a russia and turkey now the deescalation zone was hanging in the year during the negotiations but the two leaders seem to disagree all the way through with that's why this particular agreement which was always of the press conference came as a surprise to so many of the both sides agreed to create a demilitarized zone between the militants and a government troops of around fifteen to twenty kilometers by the fifteenth of october and also during the press conference of the turkish president said that to gather with russia they will radek a terrorism in the region. together with russia we will make maximum effort to get

rid of radical groups from this territory turkey and russia will patrol this territory to ensure compliance right after the talks or russia's defense minister announced that there is going to be no military offensive he also added that all of the details of the agreement which was a reach today will be discussed with the syrian government of very soon during the upcoming talks the situation in the province of idlib has been a crucial topic of discussions for weeks on the international stage between syria russia turkey the us and iran so now this decision is surely important as it eases this threat of escalation on the ground. to discuss this further we can now bring in alison said senior analyst at the financial news websites. you're very welcome to the program do you think this plan for a day militarized buffer zone will work in practice. well i'm not sure if you work

in practice but. it's excellent. number of situations. start. with my first thought was the chemical attack we've all heard we've heard so much about in recent weeks at this point nobody can accuse anybody of launching a chemical attack if the syrian army boy launching a full scale. invasion. so that is averted. by doing so. allows russia to operate in a more constructive way because after all apart from the military goals the ultimate achievement here is the securing full control of syria for the government and opening up. how this the militarized zone will work has not been

announced yet i hesitate to guess how that's a practical matter for the year generals to decide what leave at bath and outpatient you comments have seen and they said the financial news websites said thank you you thank. back to our top story now a russian military aircraft with fourteen personnel on board has disappeared from radar coverage off the coast of syria where we now do have our correspondent let's cross live to our middle east correspondent paula paula what can you tell us so far . well the facts at this moment do seem a little bit sketchy and as you can well imagine the story is still unfolding what we do know is that on wednesday evening a russian military aircraft went off the radar there are fourteen service personnel on board that that that airplane and it happened during an attack by israeli jets

israeli f. sixteen s on the syrian province of latakia not at this stage that information is being received by the russian defense ministry what we understand is that the air force base the controlled as they say that they lost contact with the aircraft when it was some thirty five kilometers off the coast of the mediterranean sea now a search and rescue operation is currently underway and it happened as i say during an attack that according to the russian foreign ministry was carried out by israeli warplanes on a power station and on two facilities that are controlled by the syrian army and we understand that at least seven people have been injured we have been trying to get reaction from the israeli side at this stage no confirmation or denial there's simply no comment from from the side of his role syrian officials have confirmed to quote that there were foreign there was a foreign attack again that it came from the sea that is also a quote but it hasn't yet confirmed that israel was in fact behind it now the

situation is extremely alarming it's five hours that have passed since that vehicle went synthetic off went off the radar we discreetly trying to see if there are any developments but at this stage aside from a search and rescue operation and no more information being given from the aircraft that we're. missing is very little more that we can say. thank you very much for bringing us up today. russia's defense ministry says it has identified the methyl which brought down the malaysia airlines flight m h seventeen in two thousand and fourteen english town of breakdown the findings so what the russian defense ministry has done is evade the serial number of the missing published earlier by the official investigation and the joint investigative team say that they took that serial number from a piece of the debris from the actual crash site so they blamed that very message directly for the downing of the mh seventeen passenger jet so the russian defense

ministry they took that serial number and matched them try to find mentions over it in its own archive documents and what they found was actually the passport of that very missiles that which tracks the whole life cycle of that missile back from the moment when it was produced manufactured in u.s.s.r. to the point also showing which exact army unit was armed with that missile and here's what the russian defense ministry found out that those work of the manufacture date of the missile is the twenty fourth of december one thousand eight hundred six he was transported by train to the military base two zero one five two today this base which still uses missiles of this type is in the ukrainian destructible evolve and since then after the dissolution of the soviet union the missile never returned to the territory of russia. now that passport and some other relevant documents they used to be top secret and now they have been unclassified

for the sake of the investigation in fact they were displayed in the room where the briefing was held so all journalists will mean clue did have a chance to have a look at them with their own eyes the second part of the briefing the russian defense ministry showed some video some amateur footage that was previously analyzed by the official. vesta geishas and the russian defense ministry showed how they believe that footage was tampered with and the third part the we were given a listen to an audio recording which was said to be a conversation between a ukrainian colonel and some other ukrainian officer and well a lot of bombs left in there on purpose by the russian defense ministry to show that they did not alter or edit that well that recording in any way and here is the key bits from it was reporting we were relieved to grow from it what you're flipboard. we should do more if you work your job would you. want to go already but

the woman you are already now official ukraine has already branded this new information that the russian defense ministry has brought to light as fake but russian at stern is saying that they are open to scrutiny that they are ready indeed to pass on these new documents to the joint investigative team to the official investigation and they can very fine the authenticity of those documents all by themselves so definitely a new twist in the investigation of the downing of m h seventeen back in july twenty fourth teen the plane flying from amsterdam to kuala lumpur crashed in the door last region at the height of the conflicts in eastern ukraine all two hundred ninety eight people on board were killed included eighty children russia says the new materials have been handed over to the dutch team investigating the tragedy meanwhile the joint investigation team reacted to the nearly really stark humans saying they're ready to examine them as soon as they're provided by mosque experts

told us that this new evidence is important for the investigation process. they would take it seriously and take what evidence the russians can provide i mean they refused to take a lot of evidence over the last few years is seemingly more content to just immediately point the finger to russia within the first few days after the incident increased to twenty five percent now the statement cites quote unfair policies and practices relating to the united states' technology and intellectual property and from there it goes on to say that donald trump is imposing these tariffs quote to protect my the interests of working men and women farmers ranchers businesses and the country itself now it's important to note that a lot has gone into the lead up of this this is obviously not the first round of tariffs that were imposed previously there was a fifty billion dollar tariff imposed on china a tariff on fifty billion dollars worth of chinese imports china then responded

with a sixty billion dollar tariff of their own and let's be clear that on the white house trade council we now have both peter navarro and tim life hisor both of them are academic economists in the united states who have made documentaries and publish books and have been known for bashing china accusing china of foul play and urging more tariffs and protectionist policies in response to china on the global markets now at this point in the aftermath of this two hundred billion dollar tariff at this point eighty five to ninety five percent of chinese imports it is estimated will be subject to a tariff eighty five to ninety five percent of chinese goods imported to united states will be affected not a small number by any estimate now it is important to note that the statement did end on an optimistic tone it ended with the sentence hopefully this trade situation will be resolved in the end by myself and president xi of china for whom i have

great respect and affection so there is almost a tone of optimism at the end of the statement say father has been no official response from beijing to the latest announcement that the chinese foreign ministry issued a warning at the u.s. tire. we're going to. china we'll have to take necessary contemn measures to defend its own legitimate rights and interests the escalation of trade tensions is not in the interests of either side everything we can see today is that china will retaliate in kind and rather viciously let's keep in mind it starts at ten percent and goes to twenty five percent by the first of the year so that's a quarter on every dollar imported from from china which is a vast amount of goods this is also the first round of tariffs that's going to directly hit american consumers and americans are going to discover very quickly that china doesn't tariffs americans pay tariffs this is

a tax on american so this pretty much reverses the tax cuts two thousand and seventeen can only get away with this because the u.s. economy is very strong right now but something like this contributes to making the u.s. economy vulnerable again if the u.s. were to fall into recession this could actually in fact be devastating. mass protests have been held in the libyan capital calling on the president and other top politicians to resign crowds gathered on sunday venting their frustration over the dire situation in the country maybe it has been in deep political crisis since armed struggle broke out seven years ago maybe remains divided by rival governments and armed groups. one government is based in tripoli and backed by the u.n. the other is into broke and controls a large parts of the east of the country some since the still controlled by militias and isis is off they helped ignite the violence some european countries

are now starting to express their regrets their involvement in the nato led intervention in libya jacqueline reports. in march of two thousand and eleven norway committed to the military intervention in libya leading to the ousting of gaddafi and the ruine country we see today but a shock norwegian state commission report now admits the country knew next to nothing about what they were doing and actually went to war relying on media reports norway had very limited knowledge of libya when the uprising started in february twenty eleven in such situations decision makers off the malone information from media and other countries colonel gadhafi continues to slaughter his own civilians and he viciously targeted americans the international community offered the final chance to stop his campaign of killing or face the consequences for attacks by regime forces on the libyan citizens when they turned to us and

asked us for help stopping a massacre how do you say no so awful jumped on the bandwagon playing an alarmingly significant role and why shouldn't they it was by the book there was even a un security council resolution on the situation to cover them if you ignore all the commentators warning the resolution did not green flag the mass bombing of libya norway's report also reveals there was practically no one else this before jumped in the room. indicating that before deciding to send warplanes to libya the government assist the type of conflict norway was taking part in. now that failure could hardly have had more serious consequences the country now lies in ruins seven years on libya is still being ripped apart by rival governments well wishes armed to the teeth and good in the long run.

i said. so there was a building. in the him. but. we . put the money out of the money i don't know i don't want to worry about. something you simply. don't. know what. you'll get over the war and you know.

there's a lot of the. it's hard to imagine. the war a nazi doctor was still active rich in the nineteen seventies croteau had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery ash was a german company develops and admired the drug that was promoted as completely safe even during bring them sick. terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything paul. she said she's just got choked up so many samina mind victims i have to this day received no compensation they never apologized for the suffering that i not only want the money i want the revenge.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen he did. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trades per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business shows you can afford to miss the one and only boom bust.
