sanctions against iran we take a look at the changing influences in the region. a warm welcome here very good morning to you you're watching r.t. international with me. now our top story this hour russian military aircraft has disappeared off radar is off the coast of syria the russian defense ministry said it had been returning to its base in the latakia province late on monday night a middle east correspondent paula slayer has the latest russian military aircraft with fourteen servicemen on board has disappeared it went off the radar system at around eleven o'clock last night local time it was thirty five kilometers over the mediterranean from the syrian coast and it was returning to the russian base at home in near the syrian city of latakia while that happened they were. was
3:02 am
a lot of military activity over syria first israeli jets there were four of them were firing at syrian army targets and facilities in these included a power station from where we hear at least seven people were injured at the same time a french figure was launching missiles from the mediterranean and the russian space control recorded those attacks at the same time also you had these syrian army that had launched its missile defense batteries so really the russian plane could have been brought down by any one of those options i have approached the israeli army for comment they say that they do not comment on what they call fallen reports but this hasn't stopped the western media from immediately blaming the syrian government but what is important to point out is that the syrian government usually coordinates its activities with the russian army as indeed does the israeli army so until the military aircraft is found it is difficult to determine exactly what
3:03 am
portadown was a friendly fire possibly a mistake was that the fire of an enemy or was there something wrong with the aircraft itself possibly a pilot or a full t.j. it at this stage as search and rescue operation is underway and until the aircraft is found we're likely to have more questions than answers. or france rejects having any links to the incident with the russian military plane and latakia as according to reports citing a french military spokesperson for the french and israeli missile strikes came just hours after the russian and turkish presidents 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 assays more of has the details. dominated headlines last stronghold of jihad just. rebels and the syrian army

was poised determined to win them would have been messy would have drawn 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. we have decided is created 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 sun and including on newsroom. 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
3:05 am
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 that he would lose the initial submissions to the futures of our main concern is that the militants pose a threat to lepper province the city of aleppo and to 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
3:06 am
it seems to be for this deal it looks like the military operation has been shelved for now probably drove the 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
3:07 am
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 and start to see the potential of this and i think think the discussions that are having readers down a path of a potential that you're going to get something that's what's going at it if they're actually engaged 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
3:08 am
most importantly is the precedent for compromise and that's happened rarely. iraq's newly elected parliamentary speaker has expressed sympathy to iran denouncing washington's sanctions against it he said back down to doesn't support an economic pressure on to ron and will help maintain security and stability in the region artist on quarter explains how influences appear 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 of 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.
3:09 am
we have just absolutely decimated isis just 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 of 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 to second term i don't cling to his second term.

3:11 am
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 appraised 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 ensuring 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 paul haroon believes iran seeking any potential support to combat the us 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
3:12 am
a really difficult situation where you know iraq you know has been a now-i of 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 to come 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 we the united states withdrew from that but. this is a big victory strategically for on both the president and the prime minister being supportive of the iranian government. and my current rescue ship that's repeatedly found itself blocked from docking in european ports that has 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 pull its

3:15 am
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 brussels they're not even communicating to the public because a lot of the 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 the europeans themselves really want two different kind it's still to come the u.s. has announced new tariffs on china weeping game on this and other stories right after the break. seems wrong. just don't hold. me. to shape

welcome back now hungary's prime minister viktor orban is on an official visit to moscow and has held talks with president putin the true leaders focus predominantly on energy projects as well as economic ties in general but in all likelihood a meeting such as this wouldn't normally get much attention if it wasn't for those doing the actual talking as jacqueline explains. viktor orban and lot of mir putin have been keeping in touch quite regularly for the past eight years. the foreign writing to wheel and deal with putin the media are consistent in painting a very sinister picture of the two of them getting together. this
3:18 am
is hungary's prime minister. 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 politician 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 who wants to scribe 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
3:19 am
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 bloc. in the past we can go and put a lot on the. no the us it must be recognized that putin has made his country great again and that russia is once again the protagonist of world politics meanwhile over here in moscow putin seems to be embracing a more practical approach to his relations with orbit. if you don't agree is old and reliable partner. and that's your guide to the police or military that way different sides feel right

commerce ministry has just stated the country will have to respond to the decision 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 american so this pretty much reverses the tax cuts two thousand and
