4:03 am
the russian troops in syria of this planned operation they said that they received a concrete warning just one minutes before the attacks and that this was not enough time to see the russian military vehicle move to a safe zone fifteen people have been killed in a search and rescue operation is underway the russian defense ministry also saying that russia just does reserves the right to an adequate response following israel's hostile actions in syria and all the incident happened at around eleven o'clock last night local time the russian military vehicle was some thirty five kilometers away from the syrian coast it was returning to the russian air base at humber mean near the syrian city of latakia not at the time for israeli jets firing at syrian facilities in the area they hit a power station amongst others and initial reports suggest that at least seven people were injured on the ground at the same time there was
4:04 am
a french frigate which was launching rockets from the mediterranean and the syrian military had activated its missile defense batteries now the foreign media was very quick to point fingers at the syrians and blame the syrians even without any kind of conclusive proof coming forward there is always coordination between the israelis and the russians over any kind of israeli actions syrian air space but the fact that in this case that coordination seems to have been hugely insufficient is something that is going to need to be investigated here in israel with all calls to both the army and the foreign ministry have yielded nothing the response we have received to date is no comment so we all waiting to see what these radio response if and when it comes will be but certainly this is a worrying development and it is the first time that we have a a a statement from the russian defense ministry. for russian losses despite the fact
4:05 am
that they were caused by the by the syrian defense missile systems. ok paula thank you for those details that paul is giving us the update now we do understand that the israeli embassy in moscow has been approached for comment and has refused or declined to do so at this point but will be bringing you down the path there on 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 really want and president putin. is for as you watch what's taking place on the ground. to see the potential of this and i think think the discussions that are having reduced down a path of a potential you're going to get something that was kinetic if they were actually
4:06 am
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 perhaps most importantly is the precedent for compromise and that's happened. back now to our breaking news story of the downing of a russian military plane in syria which occurred on monday night at about eleven pm local time the russian defense military says that the aisle twenty was shot down by a missile launched by syria's add defense system but it did that that was because the israeli army had created a dangerous situation in the area it claims that israel only issued a warning about its missile operation just minutes before the plane was hits not giving sufficient amount of time for the plane to reach this safe zone fifteen russian military personnel on board that plane were killed as
4:07 am
a result we bring you more on this breaking news story in the coming hours now moving on to other news now italy's interior minister has warned a migrants' rescue ship won't be allowed to return to any italian ports aquarius has once again resumed its mission to rescue people off the coast of libya but to yourself a nice strong immigration policy has provoked a clash over the issue with luxembourg's foreign minister during an e.u. meeting in vienna. and there was just a little or nothing to do about it he probably had more it's such an easy to push through to jennifer let me to be for you didn't. want to be there all day on the. food channel. very. useful like i mean. she will and will be something we're going to do and you should wear it easy on
4:08 am
your body to simulate it is going to. be good for whose parents you're talking to the world that got this immense facility that's just if you need it you'll know loads of people automatically deduct yet you look like me cough not me and so i told us today because of who knew that he never got drunk or who was awful. truly. want to visit to the. church to. well the hardline stance of the anti migrant euro skeptic matea salvini is certainly putting him in the spotlight it's even made because of the latest time magazine which brands him israelis immigration star and claims he's the most feared man in europe we spoke to political analyst nicola merk of it believes e.u. citizens no longer trust old school politicians. what's happening today in europe
4:09 am
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 the new school of politicians in europe to do one thing which is common to all of them which were the view from the right 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 the technicians technocrats in brussels don't even that are not even elected so there's the people who are deciding on the future of europe and the europeans and so it's really about two different kind it's. not our salvini though is not the only headache for the e.u. right now the road hung garion prime minister viktor orban has long been the talk of the town and with his ongoing official visit to moscow and talks with president
4:10 am
putin the media and politicians alike have gone into overdrive jacqueline explains . viktor orban and lot of mir putin have been keeping in touch quite regularly for the past eight years. the former i'm 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 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
4:11 am
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 stand is hungry becoming the kremlin's pawn. i did not go so far as the late great john mccain who wants to scribe obama as a near fascist in bed with putin however i would certainly not have disagree with mr mccain's analysis in twenty fourteen we cannot stand aside and that populist far right governments drag democratic european states into vladimir putin's orbit and undermine the postwar international norms or even 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 bloc.
4:12 am
in the past we can go and see a lot on the right. no the us it must be recognized that putin has made his country great again and the drug 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 or been. hungry is an old and reliable partner. and that's your guide to the political or been relationship way different sides feel right now. we're turning now to our breaking news story the russian defense ministry has issued a statement on the downing of a russian plane we can now listen in. so let's put it to work a little to go on the seventeenth of october. night for. sixteen civilian air

4:22 am
earlier the chinese foreign ministry issued this warning. if you you know that china will have to take necessary confirmations 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 or 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 quentin 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 of two thousand seven hundred can only get away with this because the u.s. economy is very strong right now but something like this contributes to making the
