it's going strong still it's a bit. just from. a russian military jets with fourteen people on board goes missing off the syrian coast during israeli and french missile strikes in the area as according to the russian defense ministry. a military offensive on syria is live performances put on hold as russia and turkey agree to create a demilitarized zone between syrian government forces and the minute minister. from a parliamentary speaker in iraq to announce his u.s. sanctions we go to rome we take

a look at the changing influences in the region. a welcome and a very good morning to you watching all three international with me. now our top story this hour a russian military aircraft with fourteen past now on board has disappeared from radar is off the coast of syria the russian defense ministry said it had been returning to its base in the talk here province late on monday night's middle east correspondent paula has the details. we understand that it happened and this is according to the russian defense ministry tack by four israeli jets four israeli f. sixteen s on the province of the tukey and according to the russian ministry of defense that attack happened when the russian aircraft was some thirty five kilometer or coast of servia it has simply disappeared at this stage we have no

more information in terms of what's happening on the ground we know that a search and rescue operation is underway and that this attack happened at around ten o'clock on local time in the evening yemen is where we've been trying to get reaction from the israeli side as of yet no confirmation no denial simply no comment from the israeli side the syrians themselves are saying that the attacks were to quote foreign they were also to quote came from the sea but they haven't confirmed that the attacks were carried out by israel we are hearing that from the russian side the attacks apparently targeted a power station as well as two facilities that are held and on the hands of the syrian army and the initial figures suggest that seven people are injured on the ground. russian air space control also says it did take to several missiles launched from a french frigate in the mediterranean around the time when contact with the russian military act was lost so far there has been no official comment from the french

government. no russian and turkish presidents have agreed to create a buffer zone in syria's province in order to protect civilians the goal is to separate syrian government forces from militants and the country's last major rebel stronghold where i gather the ever pours for weeks on end it dominated headlines last stronghold of g. hardest al qaeda rebels and the syrian army was poised determined to win them would have been messy would have drawn the entire world is following a meeting the statement that we're going to make after the talks may bring hope to the region the president of russia and turkey spent almost five hours closer to the way working out a deal that wouldn't plunge into bloody chaos a deal to avert a military operation

a peace deal. we have decided is created demilitarized zone along the battleline by the fifteenth of october it will be between fifteen and twenty kilometers wide we will move radicalize militants out of this and including japan. together with russia we will make maximum effort to get rid of all radical groups from this territory turkey and russia will both patrol this territory to ensure compliance. the gist of it is getting radical islamists al-qaeda in syria for one away from the front lines withdrawing heavy weapons artillery tanks to make sure the fingers don't spark any more escalations opening up the routes allowing travel through contested territories for civilians and russian turkish troops would oversee it all patrol this demilitarized zone but there are concerns the

initials abortion's to the future of our main concern is that the militants pose a threat to aleppo province the city of aleppo and to a military compounds in syria tartarus and may mean the problem is the hardest who are bent on spoiling any peace effort they have everything to lose if it falls it will mark the end of the syrian war their final defeat assad knows it wouldn't be easy or clean it seems to be for this deal it looks like the military operation has been shelved for now probably draws the best military and diplomatic solution to the the decision is very important indeed the worth of was looking for a military confrontation really. not the fight there is more causality of there is normal interoperation there is more are expected clashes between the government forces than the radical groups in the long probably does the militarized

zone will be the way where the radical groups will leave the area not only the people about also. the turkish president wasn't exaggerating when he said the world's eyes were on this meeting stakes are so high here for the gulf states for the west especially they spent untold billions arming and financing the syrian rebels only to lose. we consider any assault and lived to be a reckless escalation of the conflicts if assad russia and iran continue down the path their own the consequences will be dire the world will hold them responsible how much of that was genuine concern for civilians and how much is bitterness over losing you decide for yourself it's occurring that we have the discussions that are ongoing discussions we are one and president putin. is for as you watch

what's taking place on the ground as you start to see the potential of this and i think i think the discussions that are having we're just down a path of a potential that you're going to get something that's what's kinetic if they're actually engaging in a level of dialogue nevertheless the united states pentagon seem cheered by this latest deal a bloody battle has been averted and geodes to being marginalized but perhaps most importantly is the precedent for compromise and that's happened read. iraq's newly elected parliamentary speaker has expressed sympathy to iran they've now the thing washington sanctions against is he said baghdad doesn't support any economic pressure onto iran and will help maintain security and stability in the region i seized on quarter explains how influences that influences appeared to be

changing in the region it's been fifteen years since the us invasion of iraq and what they have to show for it is a baghdad looking every day more towards iran. just a year ago it didn't look like washington was losing ground in iraq at all taking credit for helping to defeat i saw having the country's prime minister as a close friend. i just. lost. control routes we have just absolutely decimated isis is absolutely obliterated isis in iraq looks like a victory for the red white and blue. but times are changing iraq is struggling to form a government and so far they've agreed on sunni lawmaker mohamad i'll hold to see for parliament speaker the main thing you need to know about him is that his support comes from

a pro iranian bloc the man in charge even fought for iran in its war against iraq it's probably easy to find out where his loyalties reside. but what about washington's yes man a body surely hill seek a second term and continue business as usual right wrong he's already declared he won't touch a second term with a ten foot pole i do not want a second term i don't cling to second term. peace and the political unrest under his administration hasn't been very encouraging since july riots have ravaged the city of basra. where the government can't even provide basic public services. things weren't looking too good for the us as iraqi friend in power.

but the protestors are by no means fond of iran either hundreds attacked tehran's embassy in basra chanting i ran out leaving and then fern no in their wake. some shifts in parliament have meant good news for tehran though once and to raney and cleric all solder suddenly had a change of heart an increasingly influential figure in iraqi politics who initially agreed to support a body is all for a government with a pro iranian bloc now. but what was trump special envoy brett mcgurk up to in iraq there sure were a lot of meetings and talks to win iraqis back to the right side even his boss mike pompei o praised his work just broke with britain the good who's on the ground in baghdad representing me imposed just doing a great job forming

a strong iraqi government to a national basis is essential to the enduring defeat devices except he didn't do that great of a job as you can see the score still two three iran middle east expert is pulled believes iran seeking any potential support to combat the u.s. sanctions. iraqi government basically has access to a lot of the rest of the world's markets in a way that iran doesn't have and this puts in the united states in a really difficult situation where you know iraq you know has been there now i have the united states you know for a number of years but iran is now seeking to gain more influence in the region the iranian government is looking for any number of allies it can muster in order to basically work its way around the sanctions that the u.s. has reimposed after the joint congress plant agreement was. the united states

withdrew from that but. this is very strategically for on both the president and the prime minister being supportive of the iranian government. and migrant rescue ship that's repeatedly found itself blocked from docking in european ports as once again resumed its mission to rescue people off the coast of libya however the italian interior minister has already warned it won't be allowed to return to any italian ports the aquaria says a rescue ship operated by the franco's german charity s.o.s. mr ani and doctors without borders it has a capacity to carry up to five hundred migrants who a picked up trying to make a perilous crossing from libya to italy in june both a silly and multi-year refused to allow the ship to dock which at the time had more than six hundred pap's on board valuable port of if you know it was built i want to

put an end to this human trafficking which puts thousands of lives at risk and so in the same way that we raise the issue for the aquarius who raise its who are the vessels that follow the. salvini strong anti immigration policy provoked a clash over the immigration issue with luxembourg's minister for foreign affairs born during a meeting in vienna. it doesn't it was yes it is going to be added to all of it was the sort of the feverish review jennifer will review before you leave. going to be there are there are the. two general. there you go there is no but i mean a swarm of them would be something or do you it's a new city where is your your eagerness already going to be for those that are going to be going for who's going to go to the dakotas amid the celeb you know

shots of you know you don't know loads of you are not easy to judge yet you're a lot of god because you're not leaving so i told us today this is who want you to be living the truth who was awful. through. you want to do this is to do that. to me. on the rise of the anti my going to euro skeptic my teo salvini has now seen him make the front cover of the latest time magazine brands the politician it's nice immigration saw and claims he's now the most famous man in europe political analyst nicholas of it's been a busy you citizens in a longer trust old school politicians situation in italy is difficult situation in italy where the migrants but also with the economy are is not good the matter was so when he was elected by the telling people of different reasons and so far he's extremely popular i think back to

a sort of any it is delivering what he promised so then we can agree or disagree on what he is delivering but in any case he different he is delivering on his campaign and i think this is a lot of something a lot of people are expecting is that when the politician the politicians come into power that they do what they promised people want to see in europe people delivering on fundamental questions and these fundamental questions. across the political spectrum are unemployment migration security and they want to see politicians who are going to bring immediate answers to those questions because more and more europeans do not trust the old school politicians and more and more now today are trusting the new school as a mature seven years one of the representatives. not just on the two months left before the mid-term elections in the us candidates are making their final pitch to voters but critics have branded some of the lot latest campaign videos observe it.

there is a great wash washington needs more doers and innovators that's why i'm running for u.s. congress. not interested. in being right we need a hero. it will be joe mentioned cocaine image for the sake of the kids were. actually. like. then mr trump said you're right you're right about that part. of our thought we'd be saying this but bigfoot erotica has become a campaign issue this new drawing

a picture that is from the instagram account of denver where the man he's a republican running for congress in virginia his opponent democrat leslie cockburn thoughtful over should know and publicize that. the russian federation is proud to endorse dana rohrabacher current congress you are a true russian the route. that you. do. the u.s. has imposed new tara song china will bring you the day details on this on most stories the break.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market so thirty percent is pure some with four hundred to five hundred trees per second per second and that one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one doesn't show

you can't afford to miss the one and only. play a. clip . welcome back donald trump has announced a new round of trade tower of song china they cover a broad range of goods worth hundreds of billions of dollars caleb maupin has the details. well there's been a great deal of anticipation for donald trump's next move regarding trade negotiations with china we now have an official statement from donald trump himself regarding that situation today i directed the united states trade representative to proceed with placing additional terrorists on roughly two hundred billion dollars of imports from china the terrorists will take effect on september twenty fourth

twenty eighteen and be sent as little as ten percent until the end of the year when general the twenty five percent 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 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 asked him it now it is important to note that the statement did end on an optimistic tone it ended with this 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 president trumps warned if china tries to

retaliate there will be new tariffs on additional imports which so far there's been no official response from beijing to the latest announcement but earlier the chinese foreign ministry issued a warning. you know that china will 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 and rather viciously let's keep in mind it starts at ten percent 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 for 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. the u.s. envoy to the united nations has accused russia of violating sanctions against north korea nikki haley made the claim a security council session in new york one russian vessel called the patriot was captured on film transferring refined petroleum to a north korean controlled vessel in april of this year that is un listed the report contains evidence of multiple russian sanction violations we have seen and read this report but when the panel submitted the report to the security council last

week we noticed something deeply troubling. the evidence of russian violations that was detailed in the earlier report was missing. regarding the tanker which allegedly violated sanctions the expert group has concluded that it did not complete the claim that we deleted part of the report containing violations by russian companies is not true however these claims fall in line with the policy of maximum pressure on pyongyang the u.s. is trying to take control of the u.n. security council i have a feeling sometimes that the u.s. confuses the u.n. security council with its own u.s. national security council meanwhile the south korean president has arrived in the north for a summit meeting jai and was greeted to plan going at ports by the north korean leader kim jong il the south korean president spoke with business leaders including the heads of some song and l.g. it's the third into korean summit this year but this is the first time in a decade

a south korean leader has visited pyongyang kim and moon are expected to discuss an ongoing peace plan and denuclearization. as you mentioned means a visit comes just after the u.s. accused russia of violating sanctions against north korea antiwar activist brian becker believes washington doesn't actually want to see pace on the korean peninsula. if you look at the last year all of the good progress has really come from north and south koreans they want to live together they want to have peace they want to end the war they want to have economic integration this frightens the united states because the united states sees south korea not as an ally but as an extension of american power and the u.s. fears any kind of reunification in korea or among koreans will diminish american presence in this important part of the world on the eve of the next summit between the north korean leadership kim jong un and lone jai in the leadership of south

korea the u.s. wants to the rail of this process or at least some people in the trump administration i would say the majority certainly want to deal with all this process thanks for joining us a nazi international this hour we'll be back in just over thirty minutes with the latest to see that. banks geysers financial survival guide. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's because reports. ministries police schools is in city administrations of many countries depend on one cool peroration that's my mike will still be on the board just months ago was. this was going to come to the. woods as that on into the city it's just

a school like proprietary software you don't know this whole school isn't that chapel for gosh sakes inside a chapel when it was being completely buried in mud the filipino environment minister announced that he will begin to enforce the mining law in six provinces to prevent further loss of life never too late to close the barn door once the horse is out i suppose and in the us the latest count in that formerly hurricane florence has to. taken the lives of twenty three people and left over half a million homes without power most of those homes rely on duke energy which said it has already reached or restored service to millions of homes but reconnecting everyone could take weeks. and royal dutch shell is the latest in the large energy sector oil oil companies to announce that they will work to abide by methane emissions reductions targets in addition to carbon dioxide methane is one of the key culprits associated with global warming today's announcement says that shell

will limit emissions to point two percent of their total oil and gas production by twenty twenty five methane in particular is a significant part of natural gas and it frequently escapes into the air from the energy infrastructure such as wells pipes storage tanks and processing plants shell joins a growing list of oil related companies to make such commitments others include.
