5:32 am
israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and when ever israel conducts any kind of strikes in syria it always a confidence consults and lets the russians know in advance russia of course being in control of the skies of assyria so in this case where what we're hearing that the israelis provided this information something like just minutes before the strikes occurred does point to a disastrous situation on the israeli side and disastrous enough that we know that fifteen russian servicemen were killed now while we work we're also hearing from the russian side is that the israelis behaved irresponsibly that this that they created a dangerous situation in the area and the russian ministry of defense in the so saying that russia reserves the right for an adequate response following israel's hostile actions in syria the incident happened at around ten o'clock last night the russian military plane was on its way back to the home in force base near the
5:33 am
syrian city of latakia it was some thirty five kilometers away from the coast when it disappeared from radar not at that point in time there were four israeli jets that were conducting strikes in the area they were targeting a number of facilities held by the syrian army including a power station and initial reports were pointing to some seven people who were injured on the ground at the same time there was a french. frigate that was launching rockets from the mediterranean sea now the western media was very quick to put the blame so me on the shoulders of syria and that was in the immediate response to the whole incident coming out as i say at this stage no is radio response we are waiting as to what will be there for spawns when we hear it and no doubt will bring you up to date. the russian aisle twenty had been heading to they can mean an airbase for israeli fighter jets were attacking the latakia region and put the russian plane in the line of fire as
5:34 am
a result a missile from a syrian s two hundred defense system which were targeting the israeli forces shot down the russian plane a french frigate which had initially been accused of involvement in the instant close by in the mediterranean. a russian defense minister sergei sure has spoken with his israeli counterpart on the phone in which he stated that israel has for sponsibility for the downed russian plane he also stressed that when he called he called israel irresponsible and as it resulted in the deaths of fifteen people here's what ows has been said by representatives of russia's military forces there yesterday. so now suppose they do on the seventeenth of september around ten pm is really fine jets launched going to syrian military facilities in the city of latakia if you will these ready jets were flying at a low altitude from the direction of the mediterranean sea these ready jets deliberately created
5:35 am
a dangerous situation for the warships and located in that area the bombing occurred in the immediate vicinity of the russian aisle twenty one which was coming into. these ready point is used the russian plane is against the syrian air defense system as a result the russian oil twenty was brought down by a syrian air defense missile there's no way the israeli pilots could not have seen the russian plane is it was landing from an altitude of five kilometers nevertheless they deliberately. carried out provocation israel had warned the russian military in syria over the upcoming operation the warning came less than a minute before destroying through the hotline that didn't leave a chance to going to russian plane to safety the search and rescue operation in the crash area is currently under way we consider this israeli provocation as a hostile action you know as a result of israel's irresponsible actions fifteen russian servicemen have been killed and we reserve the right to respond to this incident well that i spoke to and i will cuff who is the director of the knossos think tank
5:36 am
a believe that israel would prefer to call the downing of the plane and i couldn't . i think these really should be very embarrassed the russian leader you know hosts these really premier. you know very close quarters during world war two commemorations he gives them. a lot of ear and they listen to their worries and so on and so forth is really is our really calculating at the moment what the response could be one could argue that the read israelis did not intend to down this plane but it is a natural behavior of. an attack an aircraft to evade air defense systems and they might have said ok well this is a russian airplane they're not going to shoot it so we think this is going to take a long time we don't think that there is going to be any immediate response by the syrian. army bar an operation or
5:37 am
a some shelling of the golan heights but we think now with the downing of the russian aircraft that the response is going to come from russia this time around from the syrian army it's not the first time israel has been in action against syria this is the start of the year there are been numerous incidents where israel has struck targets in the country after an israeli jet was shot down the israeli prime minister explains the country's motivation behind its actions i've been wanted for some of the dangers of iran's military approach with syria. iran seeks to use syrian territory to attack israel for its prefers goal of destroying the us this morning iran brazenly violated israel sovereignty they disparately renewed wrong from syrian territory into israel and this demonstrates that our warnings were one hundred percent correct is wrong wrong and it's. responsible for today's
5:38 am
aggression we will continue to do whatever is necessary to protect our sovereignty and our security well that april russia and syria accused israel of carrying out a strike against an airbase outside palmira just after a meeting with russian president in may the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said russia was unlikely to limit israeli actions in syria in july this year the i.d.f. brought down a syrian fighter jet which had crossed into israeli aspace the israeli missile strikes came just hours after the russian and turkish presidents agreed to create a buffer zone in syria's italy province in order to protect civilians the goal is to separate syrian government forces from militants in the country's last major rebel stronghold our correspondent more on the ever poured. weeks on end it dominated headlines the last stronghold of jihad just. rebels and the syrian army was poised determined to win them would have been messy would have
5:39 am
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 presence 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 path line by the fifteenth of october it will be between fifteen and twenty kilometers one eight we will move radicalize militants out of this and including own 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
5:40 am
one away from the front lines withdrawing heavy weapons artillery tanks to make sure the fingers don't spark anymore 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 initials abortion's to the futures 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
5:41 am
been shelved for now probably draws the best military and diplomatic solution to the the decision is very important indeed be worth was looking for a military confrontation really. but there is no there is more causality of there is normally to roper's from there is not expected clashes between the government forces than the radical groups in the long run probably does the immediate rise on will be the way where the radical groups will leave the area not only the people about all for. 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 to be
5:42 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 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
5:43 am
most importantly is the precedent for compromise and that's happened read. to remind you now of our breaking news story the downing of a russian military plane off the coast of syria the russian i-l. twenty had been heading to the committeeman and base for israeli fighter jets were attacking the latakia region and put the russian plane in the line of fire as a result a missile from a syrian f. two hundred air defense system which were targeting the israeli forces shot down the russian plane a french frigate which had initially been accused of involvement in the incident with close by in the mediterranean middle east correspondent paula has the details to add to the comments that have been issued by the russian defense ministry here in israel everybody is keeping mum on the matter we have approached the israeli army the israeli defense ministry as what is the foreign ministry the repeated response is no comment also trying to get other israeli officials to come in this
5:44 am
seems to be a reluctance to do so because this is the worst case so noria for israel and no doubt they want to get their ducks in a line and formulate some kind of response in terms of why and how this in fact happened as you well know there is a close working relationship between the russian president vladimir putin and the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and when ever israel conducts any kind of strikes in syria it's always a confluence consults and lets the russians know in advance russia of course being in control of the skies of assyria so in this case where what we're hearing that the israelis provided this information something like just minutes before the strikes occurred does point to a disastrous situation on the israeli side and disastrous enough that we know that fifteen russian servicemen were killed now what we're also hearing from the russian side is that the israelis behaved irresponsibly that this that they created
5:45 am
a dangerous situation in the area and the russian ministry of defense but they're saying that russia reserves the right for an adequate response following israel's ha. actions in syria the incident happened at around ten o'clock last night the russian military plane was on its way back to the home in force base near the syrian city of latakia it was some thirty five kilometers away from the coast when it disappeared from radar at that point in time there were four israeli jets that were conducting strikes in the area they were targeting a number of facilities held by the syrian army including a power station and initial reports were pointing to some seven people who were injured on the ground at the same time there was a french frigate that was launching rockets from the mediterranean sea now the western media was very quick to put the blame solely on the shoulders of syria and that was in the immediate response to the whole incident coming out as i say at this stage no is radio response we are waiting as to what will be there for spawn's
5:46 am
when we hear it and no doubt will bring you up to date some details now on that russian plane that was shot down last night it was an io twenty this patrol aircraft is known by nato as thick it has a top speed of six hundred seventy five kilometers per hour and the wings span of around thirty seven meters it's a renowned for its deer ability the twenty has been one third of it with this. the russian defense minister sergei scheuer who has already spoken with his israeli counterpart on the phone in which a state it is well begs for was sponsibility for the downed russian plane he also said to stress that that what he called it was sponsible actions resulted in the deaths of fifteen paypal his one else has been said by representatives of the russian military forces so. so now suppose it would help on the seventeenth of september around ten pm is ready find jets who launched guided bombs on syrian
5:47 am
military facilities in the city of latakia these ready jets were flying at a low altitude from the direction of the mediterranean sea these ready jets deliberately created a dangerous situation for the warships and located in that area the bombing occurred in the immediate vicinity of the russian aisle twenty one which was coming into land these ready point is used the russian plane is against the syrian air defense systems as a result the russian oil twenty was brought down by a syrian air defense missile there's no way the israeli pilots could not have seen the russian plane as it was landing from an altitude of five kilometers at the last they deliberately carried out this provocation israel had warned the russian military in syria over the upcoming operation the warning came less than a minute before the strike through the hotline that didn't leave a chance to going to russian plane to safety to search and rescue operation in the crash area is currently under way we consider this israeli provocation as
5:48 am
a hostile action as a result of israel's irresponsible actions fifteen russian servicemen have been killed we reserve the right to respond to this incident. and i spoke to israeli journalist jani ben monaghan who believes the blame for the downing of the plane should be attribute to syria's defensive. of course they it was an accident it's not israel fault way of to remember those who shot down their russia on the airplane of the syrians and know these israelis i think we are facing a very serious crisis. well in russia and think that the israeli defense forces are now studying and drawing the conclusions and investigating what the exactly happened but. if there will be a need these will of course will apologize by the way things look now. these early position is not of course the spokesman of the israeli government but the israeli
5:49 am
position is that the syrians are to be blamed. they didn't do a professional job and this was a mistake by the syrians and not these well but of course is were they will investigate what happened then draw the necessary conclusions and i think israel will initiate a dialogue with the with the russians in order to improve. their military coordination as far as israeli airplanes are concerned they are flying a syrian skies and near or above their russian positions in syria but of course israel is a interested in finishing this crisis as soon as possible it could be argued you know if israel does say it was an accident it didn't intend for it to happen but it shouldn't have been there in the first place because it's only a sovereign state. well as you know.
5:50 am
there is a problem of the military iranian presence in syria which is aimed to open a new front against israel this is the israeli position and israeli already declared that it we know that allow any. iranian presence in syria is there for this is the reason of the israeli attacks in syria we don't have any problem with the rush to the syrian regime the problem is the the fact that bashar al assad they love your audience to establish their. military presence in syria and this is a red line. and the israelis made it clear also to the russians that. it's not acceptable for here and i think that it's very clear that even even though there is a crisis between israel and russia now because of this unfortunate accident i don't
5:51 am
think that israel will stop. change its policy concerning the iranian in their presence the military presence in syria meanwhile the director of the no sauce think tank on a walk have told us that israel would prefer to call the downing of the plane an accident. i think the israelis would be very embarrassed the russian leader you know hosts these really premier. you know very close quarters during world war two commemorations he gives them. a lot of ear and they listen to their worries and so on and so forth is reserve really calculating at the moment what the response could be one could argue that the read israelis did not intend to down this plane but it is a natural behavior of. an attack an aircraft to evade air defense systems and they might have said ok well this is
