to this day received no compensation. for the suffering that not only want the money i want the revenge. the russian military plane is shot down off the coast of syria killing fifteen servicemen president putin calls a tragic a chain of events after the russian defense ministry accusing israel of provoking syrian anti-aircraft fire. israel admits it better to war planes were bombing syrian targets at the time of the tragedy but insists that damascus is fully responsible for hitting at the russian planned search teams that find the remains of some of those on board the downed plane which fell into the mediterranean sea.

our broadcast live direct from our studios in moscow this is our team international and sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us we start with a tragic story fifteen russian servicemen have died in a friendly fire incident off the coast of syria their plane was hit by syrian anti-aircraft guns which were responding to israeli airstrikes for israeli fighter jets had been targeting syrian facilities in latakia province advent time russian defense ministry accused israel of being indirectly responsible so. on the seventeenth of september at around ten pm for was ready finds jets launched guided bombs on syrian military facilities near the city old the taqiyya the bombing occurred in the immediate vicinity of where the russian oil twenty was coming in to land these ready jets deliver. he created

a dangerous situation israeli pilots use the russian plane as cover against the syrian air defense systems as a result the russian twenty was brought down by a syrian air defense missile there's no way the israeli pilots could not have seen the russian plane. really military confirms its jets targeted syrian facilities but blamed the planes at downing on the syrian government itself along with iran and hezbollah which israel views as a terrorist group meanwhile in a phone conversation with benyamin netanyahu vladimir putin stress to that israeli operations are taking place in violation of syria's sovereignty artie's middle east correspondent policy or has more. the russian president vladimir putin has spoken with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and during that phone conversation netanyahu expressed his great he blamed the domain of the russian aircraft on syria and he also stressed the importance and i'm quoting of continued security cooperation between the sides to prevent

a repeat of what happened on monday night now natanya who didn't repeat his political position that he's had for years and that is that israel will be determined to stop iran's military build up inside syria and the transfer of weapons to his beloved there so certainly netanyahu not suggesting that israel's going to stop its military strikes in syria moving forward he did however say that israel was prepared to share all details for a fire investigation to be conducted with the russian side he went so far as to suggest that the israeli commander of the a force flying to russia to provide full details for such an investigation this is a severe taste in terms of what is often presented as a strategic relationship and a close relationship between netanyahu and putin now the israeli defense forces has also issued a statement in which it says it mourns the deaths of the fifteen russian servicemen it did acknowledge that it carried out bombings against targets inside syria on monday night but also stressed just like the israeli prime minister that it was not

responsible. israel expresses sorrow for the death of the air crew members of the russian plane that was down tonight butin syrian anti-aircraft fire israel holds the assad regime whose military showdown the russian plane fully responsible for this incident the israeli army has conducted an initial inquiry of the incident and they point out and i'm quoting here that the syrian anti-aircraft fire was indiscriminate extensive and inaccurate they also say that the syrian army norns to 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 say that they notified their russian counterparts about these strikes using existing communication mechanisms now this seems to contradict information that emerged earlier after

a phone conversation between the russian defense minister. and 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 a russian claims 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 syrian sites on monday night seven people were injured at a power station during that attack there was also a french frigate that was flying from the mediterranean sea the result was fifteen russian servicemen killed just as the plane was coming to land at the russian air force base of humain near the syrian city of latakia all of that happening around ten o'clock local time monday evening. the downed russian plane was in i l

twenty this patrol aircraft is known by nato as coote and has a top speed of six hundred seventy five kilometers per hour and has a wing span of around thirty seven meters renowned for its durability the aisle twenty has been in service since the soviet era. president of the russian city of paul tribute to the fifteen a crew members of the downed aircraft people gathered at the walls of air base where prayers and a minute's silence were held put in said the downing of the plane was due to a tragic chain of events. and. when people are dying especially in such circumstances it's always a tragedy it's a tragedy for all of us for the country and for the relatives of our killed comrades and i extend my condolences to the relatives of those killed in this

situation is different from the one when a turkish jet shot down our plane back then turkey intentionally shot down the aircraft but now it looks like a chain of accidental events our position on this incident was presented in the ministry of defense statements which was fully coordinated with me about our response first we will do everything we can to provide even more security for the russian military in syria and these will be steps that everyone will notice r.t. host and former british m.p. george galloway told us of the downing of the plane is due to israel's illegal aggression against syria nothing accidental about it israel deliberately used. the presence of this russian reconnaissance plane hit behind it in radar terms in order. to launch an illegal attack on syria one of many hundreds of ill. go israeli attacks on syria in

this one fifteen russians lie bottom of the sea and it doesn't get much more serious the range is really military coordination in attacks in the middle east took me back to the events of nine hundred fifty six when of course britain france there's real called spiled with each other to bring about a war in egypt clearly this is all ramping up now it's. doing and one should be sitting up straight and being very close attention because frankly any of these events could get out of control monday night's incident was not the first time israel has been in action against syria or. was here in the studio earlier discussing the previous case with michael vick and 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 are in 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 carrying out strikes against the four airbase which is near palmira in central syria just one month on if we go forward there was a face to face meeting between the netanyahu on the eighth of may in front of eighteen and how he came out after that meeting and said that russia was unlikely

to limit 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 the syrian 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 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 the set of defense is 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 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 russia's foreign ministry has summoned the israeli ambassador over the incident the director of the. think tank has been all sorts of interact. coffer told us that between russia and israel are now likely to play out what we expect. as a first response is to limit is really cute ability inside syria and probably lebanese airspace is really is are not going to be given free hand anymore we think it would be the natural response because there will be there must have been a lot of pressure on russia from syrian. leadership from the syrian government

saying look these people are really increase you can't stop them you don't upgrade our systems our systems are too old and you don't participate. in this now russia has been a victim of these additional egan's itself so it can be. you know a step forward in this and can draw a line and say ok no more is really. intervention otherwise we will take action and we will always who are and against russian servicemen being targeted and now it happened we're not going to allow this anymore so this is the first response that we expect. the israeli missile strikes came just hours after the russian and the turkish president agreed to create a buffer zone in syria's italy province in order to protect civilians there the goal is to separate syrian government forces from militants in the country's last major rebel stronghold or to broadcast their comments. weeks on end it dominated

headlines last stronghold of jihad its al qaida 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 to create a demilitarized zone along the path line by the fifteenth of october it will be between fifteen and twenty kilometers wide we will move radicalize militants out of the senate including. 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 the initials abortions to the future the 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 it seems to be for this deal it looks like the military operation has been shelved for now probably draws 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 if there is normal interoperation the it 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 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 on it lead to be 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 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 most importantly is the precedent for compromise and that's happened read or international more news after a short break stay with us. in

the age of trump winning is all that matters the phrase by any means necessary has truly been weaponized now politics has little to do with policy front and center i perceive cultural grievances and resentments just ask greg. welcome back to international live from moscow a german spy chief who questioned migration policy has been removed from his post but still he remains in

a powerful position within the government. peter offer explains. out as the head of germany's interior security services that it's roughly the equivalent of say m i five in the united kingdom all the f.b.i. in the united states isn't going to be out of work though he's moving into a new position in the. tyria ministry as the state secretary for that ministry it seems that although out of one position he's found a new home alongside horse and offer the office of the president of the office for the protection of the constitution will be reshuffled mr zuma become a state secretary in the interior ministry interior minister who will see how far has high regard for mr marson abilities on questions of domestic security it's fair to say though that the opposition here in germany far from happy with this move in fact alternative for germany the largest opposition party in the bundestag saying

ultimately it's the voters that lose out in this recent game of musical chairs america has cleared in other critic out of the way under now this can be celebrated in the s.p.d. as tough and see how far it could pull his head out of the news again the voters are losing again because the critical removal of mass in highlights the final consequences of immigration policy the root of this move for mass and a couple of weeks ago where he gave a an interview to the bill newspaper now it was in relation to the demonstrations in the far right activity that we saw in k minutes following the killing of a thirty five year old man to asylum application sark only in custody and are the main suspects in that killing now that prompted so far right to. well to go out on to the streets of the east german city now they were videoed and what were termed refugee hunts in which gangs of these hooligans were filmed

roaming the streets hunting down anybody that looked for and now mr marson said in this interview that he found that those videos had been faked and that they'd been put out by the media with the deliberate intention to mislead people now there were big calls for him to come forward with some evidence and hasn't done that. and that is incensed those that were calling for a sucking the head of the federal office for the protection of the constitution which you speak news is now qualified for a position in the interior ministry if there are factual reasons for his replacement he cannot be so seamlessly easily recycled so hands york mass and out of germany's interior security services but he has a new job waiting for him no behold with an even bigger salary in the country's interior ministry. where we can now bring in george center ali who's

a senior research fellow at the london metropolitan university is a global policy institute george thanks for being with us here on r.t. international. so thank you. as the head of the be a very hands george masson criticize under merkel's migration policy could this case add to divisions within the coalition. well without question i mean the coalition is a very an easy one between merkel and the c.s.u. led by. who is taking a much more critical attitude towards it immigration. but the remarkable thing about merkel is that despite her extraordinary incompetence and extraordinary mediocrity she has survived crisis off the crisis there in if you recall she had a similar crisis last july was again over immigration and she managed to ride that

out so this is a problem for her but the solution that she's come up with which is a firing yet also a promotion is kind of typical of her. responses to anything. so massena was removed from his post but opposition parties called it a face saving measure that effectively keeps him in a powerful position is this how it looks like to you. yes largely because it had she fired him unceremoniously and removed him from any executive functions then she would have had real problems from the right of the. party. who would have been protests that merkel is removing critics of her immigration policy on the other hand if she had kept him in that position she would

have had problems from her coalition partners in the s.p.d. so she came up with this compromise of removing him from this position but giving him a higher salary and in effect a promotion so that's kind of. keep everybody happy a coalition going for a little bit longer so it seems to me on some levels like the i don't want to say identity but maybe the reputation of the intelligence community is on the line because leftists lawmakers accused the interior minister horst c. offer of undermining the credibility of the b.f. the agency by simply giving masin a new job so are they right. well if that's a possibility but the real issue is that the credibility of the merkel is on the line i mean she's the one who has brought this disaster on to her

country and onto europe itself i mean when you think of there wouldn't be a brics it had it not been for moguls insane policy of two thousand and fifteen so she's going to brought this on and the reaction against immigrants that is obviously manifest in germany. is an entirely predictable consequence of our policy so yes you can certainly have. criticize mohsen and criticize the security services but these are real issues there are real social crisis in germany that has been brought about by merkel's policy or about merkel's policy. and this social movement that is kind of happening there you can't talk about any of this without bringing up the a f d so controversial remarks about the write in candidates appeared to chime in with what the f.t. have been actually saying so is this movement becoming increasingly more powerful

in germany. yes it is becoming more powerful in germany and it's a it is certainly a significant movement. and it will be a significant social and political movement what i have my doubts about is where there it's able to make the kind of breakthrough that similar kind of right wing populist movements have made elsewhere in europe whether in austria or in italy or in hungary i think in germany there is such a. wide mistrust of right wing populism because of germany's understandable historic problems that it's very hard to see how the a of d. can become a serious force competing for power because it's at the moment it's very hard to see any political party at all in germany cooperating with the if no party

cooperates with it then it's hard to see how it can actually enter government but it is still a powerful movement i mean there will have powerful representation in the again in the and in the states themselves are full indeed georgia's interesting to hear your thoughts senior research fellow at the london metropolitan university's global policy institute thanks for being of the international. or if that doesn't for us we're back to top the hour with more news wasn't international stay with us. join me every first week on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that. you know world of big partisan movies a lot for years and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the
