i'm going to do you need to deny this. was. was was. a russian military plane is shot down off the coast of syria killing fifteen servicemen president putin calls it a try and chain of events after the russian defense ministry accused israel of provoking syrian anti-aircraft fire is realism it says that its war planes were bombing syrian targets at the time of the tragedy but insists that damascus is fully responsible for hitting the russian plane and search teams that find of the remains of some of those on board the downed plane which fell into the

mediterranean sea. a broadcasting live direct question is in moscow this is r t international i'm sean thomas truly glad to have you with us we start with a very 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 at the time russian defense ministry accused israel of being indirectly responsible. so let's put the developer on the seventeenth of september at around ten pm for his ready finds jesse launched guided bombs on syrian military facilities in the city old for the taqiyya the bombing occurred in the immediate vicinity of where the russian aisle
8:02 pm
twenty was coming in to land these ready jets deliberately created a dangerous situation israeli pilots use the russian plane as cover 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 that russian plane. the israeli 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 stressed that israeli operations are taking place in violation of syria's sovereignty artie's middle east correspondent paul slayer has more. the russian president vladimir putin has spoken with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and during that phone conversation netanyahu expressed his regret he blamed the downing of the russian aircraft on
8:03 pm
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 hezbollah there so certainly netanyahu not suggesting that israel is going to stop its military strikes in syria from 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 went so far as to suggest that the israeli commander of the air 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
8:04 pm
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. expresses sorrow for the death of the air crew members of the russian plane that was down tonight you do syrian anti-aircraft fire israel holds the assad regime whose military showdown the russian blamed fool are 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 north-east its missiles when the israeli air force aircraft was a really back in israeli 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 air strikes using existing communication mechanisms now this seems to contradict
8:05 pm
information that emerged earlier after a phone conversation between the russian defense minister. and his israeli counterpart of indoor 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 plane bearing in mind that it was coming into land from an altitude of some five kilometers all of this followed the four 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
8:06 pm
ten o'clock local time monday evening. the downed russian plane was in i want to patrol aircraft. is known by nato as the coot it has a top speed of six hundred seventy five kilometers per hour and has a wingspan of around thirty seven meters renowned for its ability the aisle twenty has been in service since the soviet era. residents of the russian city of sevastopol have paid to tribute to the fifty two crew members of the downed aircraft people gathered to add the walls of ace of support air base where prayers and a minute's silence for health report and said to the downing of the plane was due to a tragic chain of events. you. 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 comrades i
8:07 pm
extend my condolences to the relatives of those killed in this situation is different from the one when a turkish jet shot down a 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 statement 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. monday night incident was not the first time israel has been in action against syria and he was here in the studio earlier discussing the previous case. and the reason why russia pointing the finger at the israelis is because of those past hostile actions so that israeli forces often took aim at syrian targets so if we go back rewind to
8:08 pm
the tenth of february twenty eighth 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 trying 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. on the eighth of may in front of eighteen and. so he came out after that meeting and said that russia was likely 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
8:09 pm
have taken place without a u.n. london this aggressive conduct by the zionist entity 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 big 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 certain defense is saying that the israeli jets 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 air strikes that the that have been going on despite the fact that israel and russia
8:10 pm
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 a little used to explode mario osman the tragedy could have been avoided by better communication between russia and its. that provocation made by the israeli entities sixteen jet fighters made the i'll twenty russian plane downed if there were no jet fighters in the air to begin with there wouldn't have been syrian anti-aircraft missile system launched they could have at least informed the russian side of israel didn't want to do what the french were at to do it to begin with in order to clear the area they could have told the russian side and me and they would have taken the necessary measurements to take out any sort of risks for any russian planes or russian military presence russia's foreign ministry has summoned the israeli ambassador over the incident the director of the north think
8:11 pm
tank. or cough told us our relations between russia and israel are now what we. really expect. as a first response is to limit is really capability 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 would be there must have been a lot of pressure on russia from syrian. leadership from the syrian government saying look these people are 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 shenanigans 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
8:12 pm
we will always warned against russian servicemen being targeted now it happened we're not going to allow this anymore so this is the first response that we expect . these really missile strikes came just hours after the russian and do and concern for civilians that. how much is bitterness over losing you decide for yourself it's occurring that we have the discussions are ongoing discussions we are one and president putin. is far as you watch what's taking place on the ground as you see it 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 perhaps
8:13 pm
most importantly is the precedent for compromise and that's happened red. china has retaliated to the latest u.s. trade tariffs that story much more still to come to international. just like the junk food companies that also own. the other just so they get you they give you diarrhea and then they have to care for diarrhea so the side of family they get you know got heroin and they try to get me they think your friend may have a patent on the care for you but they also have a bad bounce and that account and then they have the ability to keep you locked into a perpetual all life long dystopian heroine slash this
8:14 pm
wall junkfood life. 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 of our perceived cultural grievances and resentments just ask red counties. are. going. mattresses are to international so china has announced tariffs on u.s. goods worth sixty billion dollars in response to president trump's latest measures against beijing. the new move on look for a response to the action taken by the u.s.
8:15 pm
side china has to take necessary countermeasures to defend its own the rights and interests and see who guard the global order or free trade today i directed the united states trade representative to proceed with placing additional tariffs on roughly two hundred billion dollars of imports from china the terrorists will take effect on september twenty fourth twenty eighteen and be set as the level of ten percent until the end of the year when generally the first the terrorists will rise twenty five percent the troubled ministration had already imposed a two rounds of tariffs on chinese imports this year first aluminum and steel were targeted then in the summer charges were raised on thirty four billion dollars worth of other chinese goods on the streets of beijing the chinese government's retaliation was met with approval. the aim is to stop the us from imposing further on reasonable policies on it china but not to start a trade war with each other therefore this policy is necessary yeah of course and
8:16 pm
this has a significant the fact that china china's countermeasures show that we're not afraid i will strike back would you like to but i think trump imposing tariffs on chinese goods is absolutely wrong or at least breaks the rules joseph chang professor of political science at the city university of hong kong told us that tariffs could damage both countries. people tent that is that you say they all told in braille that go station scheduled to be held in the next few weeks unfortunately the so called trade war you come on the disputes between the two countries increasingly seen as kind of those three would fall due to share in the yukon the me and in the science and technology field in the coming twenty thirty years so the crosshairs but these fields will tend to be drawn drawn out all the old steel parts
8:17 pm
of the keys probably being a home sale trade wall which will be very damaging the whole country. president putin has hosted a meeting with hungary's a prime minister in the kremlin high on the agenda were energy supplies and also that use split with viktor orbán over his migrant crackdown are still their patrol go comments. last garion prime minister viktor orban was here in moscow was only two months ago right now we're here at the crown one and he's back again right there you can see the seats for the leaders of russia and hungry and on viktor or britain's right hand side and vladimir putin's left hand side there are seats for the senior government ministers the summit in this room comes right when hungry is experiencing serious trouble with pretty much the rest of the european union over
8:18 pm
its stance on the migrant crisis the solutions that europe keeps coming up with are just unacceptable for beauty and mr has always been open about it would like to raise the voice of the people all over in europe that they are full of fear we need more union in our refugee problem is not the european problem we need a fair and just distribution the problem is a german problem it is not a problem b. create a new legal situation at the borders for you to be even more free than it was at the same time moscow and beat a pest have been maintaining a kind of special relationship and this is something that we are also hearing about today in this room. hungary needs would be partners i'm very happy that we've balanced relations with each other recently i can't say that we're always provided with stable international conditions but problems exist in order for us to fight them and i think we succeed in that and i want to thank you for all the work we're
8:19 pm
doing together. just a few days ago the european parliament has already backed punishing hungry for its international behavior but the final decision on the end to hungary sanctions will be made later this week at an informal e.u. summit and definitely the things that are being said here in the kremlin will be brought up at that european get together. the german spy chief who questioned migration policy has been removed from his post but he still remains in a powerful position within the government authorities peter of are explained. massena is 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 or the f.b.i. in the united states he isn't going to be out of work though he's moving into a new position in the interior ministry as the state secretary for that ministry it
