its missiles when the israeli air force aircraft was a really back in israeli air space and they also say that the russian plane was hit and when it was hit it was not within the area of the israeli operation at the same time they also said that they notified their russian counterparts about these airstrikes using existing communication mechanisms now this seems to contradict information that emerged earlier after a phone conversation between the russian defense minister. and the his israeli counterpart of a door lieberman and after that conversation we heard the russians saying that israel gave less than a minute's notice that it was going to conduct these strikes through the working hotline that is used to portray such information the russian defense minister also said that there was no way that the pilots could not have seen the russian plane bearing in mind that it was coming into land from an altitude of some five kilometers all of this followed before israeli jets that pounded against various

1:08 pm
statement what do you think he might have meant by that. good evening to you and my condolences as well to the families of the fifteen things that you. believe president bush putting forth today that he is a man of state and he's a man of system. definitely by by his word record all understand. the measures would be what would the penalties be against any violations of such sort in the future and what would be. the actions of the russian state against. or. on the units or. soldiers on the ground in syria this. is not. on the other before the israelis it's also for the americans the turkish and the kurds and singing as well. the u.n.
1:09 pm
special envoy for syria has spoken out about the incident let's have a listen what staff and to mr i have to say. we call upon all parties especially when we are getting these types of positive news regarding what could have been a dramatic military escalation to refrain from military action there would only exacerbate an already complex situation. so he asked everybody to avoid military action do you think that will stop a swell from attacking syria. to be honest mr de mistura and the whole international system has been disappointment jordan very serious crisis. has it not been from. savannah forces and the russian. conclusion too and. the war in syria the
1:10 pm
united nations no place on the council would have done anything in that regard. and his statement is balancing between the victim and aggressors been the victims and the murder of. so definitely has his whole statement is not acceptable neither by us nor by common sense and does not in accord in accordance to the international laws or code they will and security council resolutions. soul but i believe that there is some sort of schizophrenia here from the other side you have the israelis will have been violating. the independence and the sovereignty of different countries no not on the senior syria lebanon palestine and. so. mr dennis through i should go back to his books and. use it.
1:11 pm
in accordance to such regulations this is this is how justice is. done not. statesmen such as this one. and just one more question for you israel and russia have managed to avoid direct confrontation in syria up until this point they will change the way that they communicate with each other now. i believe what happened yesterday. showed the love of our guns and ignorance. and chose. the russian as a state of. respect and this is state of decision. definitely on the long run. it will be for the sake of russia for the sake of the all of the russian. presence and the middle east. as
1:12 pm

1:13 pm
that syrian right thank you. thank you for last night's incident was not the first time he's rayless been in action against syria. we went through the previous cases with our teeth and here is chewed. the reason why russia pointing the finger it at the israelis is because of those past hostile actions say that israeli forces often took aim at syrian targets so if we go back rewind to the tenth of february twenty eight hundred that's where an israeli f. sixteen fighter jet crashed after being hit by syrian air defenses during an offensive in syria the two pilots parachuted to safety before the crash in northern israel and it's believed that that was the first time that israel lost one of its jets during the syrian conflict following that incident a phone call did take place between president putin and prime minister netanyahu now i'll explain a couple more incidents on the ninth of april russian syria accused israel of
1:14 pm
carrying out strikes against the four airbase which is near palmira in central syria just one month thought if we go forward there was a face to face meeting between putin and that in yahoo on the eighth of may in twenty eighteen and let me how he came out after that meeting and said that russia was unlikely to live it actions in syria israeli actions in syria two days after that meeting another incident happened and we can't forget the syrian reaction considering that these airstrikes are taking place without a u.n. london. this aggressive conduct by the zionist entity do nothing but an increase in tensions in the region what we do know is that the syrian government invited russia to help during this civil war back in twenty fifteen and russia has almost turned a blind eye to these israeli air strikes have been taking place they've been feeling that they've been acting its diplomats in a very complex region mediating between the various players israel being one of
1:15 pm
them so if we look at the bigger picture and at this latest incident which took part place at ten pm local time on the seventeenth of september the russian ministry of dissent defense are saying that the israeli jet hid behind the russian plane which led to it being set on fire that's a bold accusation from russia and maybe it's because of these continuous airstrikes that the that have been going on despite the fact that israel and russia have been allies they have been claiming to be friends of russia and and that's a contradiction in itself from the russian perspective at all it's almost like a betrayal for them so there's no doubt the tensions between the two nations have grown. so in turn the former member of the pakistan earth for his reaction to the incident. but what as a former 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
1:16 pm
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 to create a 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 the sunni 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
1:17 pm
withdrawing heavy weapons artillery tanks to make sure fingers don't spark any more escalations opening up the roads allowing travel through contested territory as for civilians and russian turkish troops would oversee it all patrol this demilitarized zone but there are concerns. over witness to the future of our main concern is that the militants pose a threat to aleppo province the city of aleppo and to our military compounds in syria tartarus and him a min. 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
1:18 pm
draws the best military and diplomatic solution to the the decision is very important indeed the worth to was looking for a military confrontation really. not there. there is more causality and there is normally to roper's from there is not 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 to be a reckless escalation of the conflicts if assad russia and iran continue down the
1:19 pm
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 far as you watch what's taking place on the ground start to see the potential of this and think i think. the discussions that are having we just down a path of a potential when you get something that's kinetic if they're actually engaged in a level of dialogue nevertheless the united states pentagon seem cheated 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 ready.
1:20 pm
illusory teacher mom joachim professor of history and international relations at the lebanese university he says israel is responsible for the tragedy even if the incident is more complicated. we're relieved that this move by the israelis was premeditated it was planned in order to send a message to the russian side that it will be blood that the russian servicemen will be killed in case the russians support a military action mainly in it live and this was also coordinated with the americans i believe that comes as part of this collation. by the american side and its threat to bomb syria in case the syrian army moves to liberate it live from terrorist groups there so. i understand this incident as part of this escalation and i believe that it came at
1:21 pm
a crucial moment when president putin was able to strike a deal with. the president over at live in order to stop the military operation there and to try to do to defuse the situation that's why i believe that the israeli side is fully responsible for provoking the incident and throwing. friendly fire from the city in part two down the the russian airplane with fifteen servicemen on board. about with a place for you in hoffa no. one else chose seemed wrong. role just don't hold. me.
