it's a bitch. that's true. a russian military plane with fourteen people on board goes missing off the syrian protest during israeli and french missile strikes in the area as according to the russian defense ministry. a military offensive on syria's italy a province is put on hold as russia and turkey agree to create a demilitarized zone between syrian government forces and the militant. the new parliamentary speaker in iraq didn't ounces u.s. sanctions against iran we take

a look at the changing influences in the region. a warm welcome and a very good morning to you you're watching all the international with me and now our top story this hour russian military aircraft with fourteen personnel on board has dissipated from radars off the coast of syria the russian defense ministry said it had been returning to its air base in the latakia province late on monday night we can of course live to our middle east correspondent paula newton he's been following this story for us paula good to see you do we have any more details at this point. what you know at this stage is that as you mentioned a russian military aircraft with some fourteen personnel on board went missing last night at around ten o'clock in the evening it simply vanished off the radar and that was around thirty five kilometers or so from. the syrian coast now there was

a lot of activity at the same time you had four israeli jets who were attacking syrian facilities at the time or just off the attack in these included a power station and we have received information that at least seven people were injured at the same time we know that a french frigate was launching missiles and that the russian air space control recorded those no one should it also came as the syrian army was as the syrian army activated its missile defense systems so it really could have been any of those western media however as waste no time in immediately blaming the syrian regime for the attacks but the problem there is that the syrian regime always as does israel coordinates its actions with the russian air force we have approached the israeli army for comment they have said quote that they do not comment on for them for ports the french have also refused to give us any comment at this stage so at this moment we are ready waiting for the search and rescue operation that is underway to

try and locate the jet and only then will be able to determine whether it was friendly fire that bought the plane down whether it was enemy fire or whether it was a fault within the jet itself possibly pilot error or an old feel cold but until that stage at this point in time we have more questions and answers. thank you very much . ok we're moving on that the french and misfile the french an israeli missile strikes came just hours after the russian and turkish presidents agreed to create a buffer zone in syria's province that old to supertax civilians the goal is to separate syrian government forces from militants in the country's last a major rebel stronghold artie's c.f. reports. weeks on end. dominated headlines last stronghold of g. hardest al qaeda web boards and the syrian army was poised determined to win them would have been messy would have shown the entire world is following our 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 you we have decided to create a demilitarized zone along the battle line by the fifteenth of october it will be between fifteen and twenty kilometers wide we will move radicalize militants out of the sunni and including on newsroom. really 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 if you will if the initial submissions to the pleasures of a main concern is that the militants pose a threat to aleppo province the city of aleppo and to a military compounds in syria tartus 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 seems to be for this deal it looks like the military operation has been shelved for now probably it was 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 no. expected clashes between the government forces then the radical groups in the long run probably does the militarized on will be. things weren't looking too good. the u.s. is 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 know in their wake. some shifts in parliament have meant good

news for tehran though once and to raney and cleric. 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. with britain the good who's on the ground in baghdad representing the imposed just doing a great job forming a strong iraqi government on 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 experts pulled over believes iran seeking any potential support to come to the us sanctions

reckon 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 go isaac and muster in order to basically work its way around the sanctions that the u.s. has reimposed after the joint congress of plant agreement was. the united states withdrew from that but. this is very strategically or on both the president and the prime minister being supportive of the iranian government. and migrant rescue ship that's repeatedly found itself blocks from docking in

european ports has once again resumed its mission to rescue people off the coast of libya however the italian interior minister has a lead he won't it won't be allowed to return to any italian port the aquarius is a rescue ship operated by the franco german charity s.o.s. met attorney and doctors without borders as it has a capacity to carry up to five hundred migrants who were picked up trying to make the perilous crossing from libya to italy in june both italy and malta refused to allow the ship to dock which at the time had more than six hundred parked on board on your 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 it's the vessels that for the. the rise of the anti migrants you are skeptical selvi me has now seen him make the front cover of the latest time magazine brands the politician italy's immigration czar

and claims he's now the most feared man in europe. but stronger anti immigration policy provoked a clash over the immigration issue with luxembourg's minister for foreign affairs born during an evening meeting in vienna. so there was just a little or nothing to be added for the good ones as for them we've created jennifer let me do this for you didn't. want to be there on the other. two general. to go there. although i've got to be. sworn in would be something we're going to do in the city where it is all your utility going to these are going to be good for who's going to do it or who the world the go to cement the celeb you know shots of you know you don't know loads of poor d.v.d. video and you know

a lot of good because your colleagues are told us today because of who want to be there because of the you who was on form. through. the one who this is the you didn't do that. we spoke to political analyst nicol american that she believes e.u. citizens no longer trust old school politicians what's happening today in europe is that the previous class of european i would say politicians were charm or less center left center right and which had been the ruling western european nations to since world war two. lot of people don't trust them anymore we're going to see this rise of new of the new school of politicians in europe today the one thing which is common to all of them which are whether they be from the right or from the left is that they are challenging the european union and everybody is i think really sick and tired of this situation where national politicians are saying well we can't do

anything anymore it's all in the hands of brussels and wrestles they're not even communicating to the public because a lot of these technicians technocrats in brussels don't even now are not even elected so there's the people who are deciding on the future of europe and you can some sense live on two different planets. just on the two months left before the mid-term elections in the u.s. candidates on making the final pitch to vote says but critics have branded some of the latest campaign videos upset. there is an outrage in washington washington needs more doers and innovators that's why i'm running for u.s. congress.

you know my status yes here's the. right way here. will be joe manchin and cocaine mitch for the sake of the kids for years. actually let me take. then mr trump said you're fired i love that part. of our thought we were saying this but big foot erotica has become a campaign issue this new drawing of bigfoot is from the instagram account of denver where the man he's a republican running for congress in virginia his opponent democrat leslie cochran thought voters should know and publicize them. the russian federation is proud to endorse dana rohrabacher for congress you are a true prophet and the right.

america needs more leaders like donna who recognize that the world is better off with a strong bold and ever expanding russian federation downey's all man. do you think. you. have some breaking news reaching as. the developing story about the missing russian military plane france rejects having any links to the incidents that occurred in hockey on monday and according to reports citing french military sources that comes from on monday night the russian plane with fourteen people on board vanished from radar screens thirty five kilometer kilometers off the syrian coast the russian defense ministry said that israel and france had been carrying out aerial strikes in the

area at the time israel so far has refused to comment on the story the search operation is continuing and we'll bring you any more updates as soon as we get them . ok well still to come the u.s. has announce new tariffs on china will bring you more on this and other stories right after the break. when lawmakers manufacture consent to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the flaming. lips and be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick.

you know world a big part of their lives and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back congress prime minister viktor orban is on an official visit to moscow and has held talks with president putin as he laid his focus predominantly on energy projects as well as economic ties in general but in all likelihood amazing

shit as such is this wouldn't normally get much attention if it wasn't for those doing the actual talking as jockeying for the expense. viktor orban and watt amir putin have been keeping in touch quite regularly for the past eight years. but the foreign ready to wheel and deal with putin the media are consistent in painting a very sinister picture of the two of them getting together. this is hungary's prime minister big did back in one thousand nine hundred ninety he was calling for soviet troops to leave the country. fast forward almost thirty years and here years one of russian president vladimir putin's closest allies correct me

if i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure russia today is a bit different than the soviet union even the flags are different nonetheless these two associating with one another gets under some politicians skins and the way they say it is hunger becoming the kremlin's pawn. i did not go so far as the late great john mccain he once described obama as a neo fascist in bed with putin however i would certainly not have disagree with mr mccain's analysis in twenty fourteen we can't stand aside and that populist far right governments drag democratic european states into vladimir putin's orbit and undermine the postwar international norms or been himself the black sheep of the brussels family is well aware it's just not right to be friends with putin and a quote good european to be considered to good european you have to disparage bhutto like he is the devil horns and all apparently but for his part of the

hungary leader chooses to think outside the block. in europe it is very risky to say than half the words in favor. buton they represent him with hooves and haunts like the double meanwhile over here in moscow putin seems to be embracing a more practical approach to his relations with or been. hungry is an old and reliable partner. and that's your guide to the putin orban relationship the way different sides see it right now. trump has announced a new round of trade tariffs on china because a broad range of goods worth hundreds of billions of dollars and reports. 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 tires 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 trams warned of china tries to retaliate that will be new terrorist on additional imports so far there's been no official response from beijing to the latest announcement but earlier the chinese foreign ministry issued a warning. i'm going to tell you 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 americans 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 at 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 parts of the report containing violations by russian companies is not true however these claims 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 to the

north for a summit and was greeted pyongyang airport by the north korean leader kim jong il the south korean president brought with him business leaders including the heads of some sung and l.t. is the third to enter korean summits 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 denuclearize asia. as we 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 peace on the not 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 it and 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 derail this process or at least some people in the trumpet ministration i would say the majority certainly want to derail this process. thanks to turning in we're back with the latest of a top of the hour say that. no one else seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out just to get educated and in gains from it because of the trail all. when so many find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground

. ministries police forces and city administrations of many countries depend on one corporation that does what mike was hoping when the boy got on from going to present god i'm stumping this adama's going to going to go through the. woods as the fee that he got into the city at the best possible bible and proprietary software you don't know the source code isn't that a such a security risk when you have a black box operating in the public eye to microsoft dependency puts governments under a cyber threat and not only that to think off message and put us in more. office of the assistant is it selling the only one bloke on the wall the thing to most of the world didn't miss you all did all of those. things and this is the

arsenals that launched i didn't miss the old vision stopping there was a steel mills in front is up and describes on the phone.
