so the idea. of the. russian military plane is shot down off the coast of syria killing fifteen servicemen president putin calls it a tragic chain of events after the russian defense ministry accused israel of provoking syrian anti-aircraft fire. is a row admits that its warplanes were bombing syrian targets at the time of the tragedy of but insists that damascus is fully responsible for hitting the russian plane. search teams find the remains of some of those on board the downed plane which fell into the mediterranean sea.

our broadcast live direct from our citizen of this is our t.v. international i'm sean thomas truly glad to have you with us and 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 at the time russian defense ministry accused israel of being indirectly responsible. on the seventeenth of september at around ten pm for its ready finds jets launched guided bombs on syrian military facilities near the city old for the taqiyya the bombing occurred in the immediate vicinity of where the russian aisle twenty was coming in to land these ready jets deliberate. he 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 the russian plane. the israeli military confirms its jets targeted syrian facilities but blamed the planes going 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 or today's middle east correspondent polls there was more. the russian president vladimir putin has spoken with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and during that phone conversation netanyahu expressed his but great he blamed the downing 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 natalia 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 moving forward he did however say that israel was prepared to say it all details for a fire investigation to be conducted with the russian side he went so fast 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 test 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 this really prime minister that it was not

responsible. israel expresses sorrow for the deaths of the air crew members of the russian plane that was down tonight view to 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 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 his israeli counterpart i don't need a minute 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 that 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 something five kilometers all of this followed before israeli jets that pounded against various syrian sights 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. with

a downed russian plane that was in twenty there's a patrol. crafters known by nato as the coot it has a top speed of six hundred seventy five miles excuse me quantities per hour and has a wingspan of around thirty seven meters renowned for its their ability the i l twenty has been in service since the soviet era. residents of the russian city of sevastopol have paid tribute to the fifteen crew members of the downed aircraft people gathered at the walls of the sevastopol air base where prayers and a minute's silence were held by the report and said the downing of the plane was due to a tragic chain of the. kind of. 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 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. the former british ambassador to syria peter ford believes israel has no grounds for attacking syrian targets. the israelis can have their own opinions but they can't have their own facts and the fact is that iran and hezbollah and syria have not launched a single unprovoked attack on israel since at least two thousand and six when the dollar was defending lebanon against an israeli attack since that date not being

one single unprovoked attack from the syrian side that that is the fact it's really is not on the stret from iran or hizbollah this is a pretext to attack syria i very much doubt that israel will change its behavior because israel is given the clinton political cover by the united states in the un security council just imagine if the boot was on the other foot and that with syria or iran that was launching strikes on israeli coastal cities just imagine that to get some idea of the enormity of what israel is doing but of course there is no way of calling israel to account because of the us veto in the security council monday night incident was it not the first time israel has been in

action against syria or it is new territory or was here in the studio earlier discussing the previous cases. 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 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 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 putin and that in yahoo on the eighth of may in

twenty eighteen and a little harder 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 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 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 of years really are over the incident the director of the. of told us how relations between russia and israel or likely to play out. well what we expect. as a first response is to limit israeli capability inside syria and probably lebanese airspace the israelis are not going to be given free hand anymore we think it would

be the natural response because they will be there they must have been a lot of pressure on russia from syrian. leadership from the syrian government saying look these people are training tree 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 make. 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 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 . is really a missile strike that came just hours after the russian and turkish president agreed to create a buffer zone in syria is it leiber province in order to protect civilians the goal is to separate syrian government forces from militants in the country's last major

rebel stronghold of commons. weeks on end it dominated headlines last stronghold of g. hardest 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 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 you 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 this and including. 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 fingers don't spark any more escalations opening up the roads 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 are new to the mission of abortions to be sure the 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 seems to be for this deal it looks like the military operation has been shelved for now probably it was the best military and diplomatic solution to the the decision is very important indeed the worth of was looking for a military confrontation really. but there is more 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 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 he 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 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 is you watch what's taking place on the ground as you start to see the potential of this and i think i think. the discussions that are having reduced down a path of a potential when you get something that's what's kinetic if they're actually

engaged and 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 perhaps most importantly is the precedent for compromise and that's happened. 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 response to the action taken by the u.s. side china has to take necessary countermeasures to defend its own this year with 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 sent as a level of ten percent until the end of the year when generally the first the terrorists will rise twenty five percent the trumpet ministration had already imposed to two rounds of the 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 try to go out on the streets of beijing the chinese government will tell you it was met with approval. the aim is to stop the us from imposing further on reasonable policies but not to start a trade war with each other therefore this policy was necessary yeah of course and this has a significant the fact that china china's countermeasures show that we're not afraid and we will strike back would you like to be i think trump imposing tariffs on chinese goods is absolutely wrong or at least breaks the rules. just of chiang

professor of political science at the city university of hong kong told us the tariffs could damage both countries. to protect that is that you say they all told the radio the tempo stations scheduled to be held in the next few weeks but unfortunately the so called trade war you come on the dispute speech into two countries increasingly seen as kind. of st paul due to share in the yukon and me in the science and technology field in the coming twenty thirty years so the prosperity that this feels will tend to be on strong now all built still possibilities probably doing a on sale trade wall which to be very damaging the whole country. president putin has hosted a meeting with hungary's a prime minister in the kremlin on the agenda were energy supplies and also that

you split with viktor obama on over is migrant crackdown are really trying to 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 viktor or britain's right hand side and vladimir putin's left hand side there are seats for the senior government ministers in this room comes right when hungry is experiencing serious trouble with pretty much the rest of the european union over 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 it to be even more freaked 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 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 and the kremlin will be brought up at that european get together had a meeting r.t. sophie shevardnadze spoke to hungary's foreign minister peter. so you can watch the full interview on sophie and co on friday here's a quick preview though. we are always honest we are we are in favor of straightforward speech we hate cheating each other we have even told openly here in russia that we will never break the unity of the european union because unity of the e.u. it is a value on the other hand we made it very clear that there must be a dialogue there must be a discussion and on as discussion a straightforward discussion about further sanctions have been successful or not and then let's see if things factually but there it european economies but there it

helped russian economy over the read to implement the music agreements and so on and so forth so they're very straightforward questions and they're very easy answers yes or no and then after giving gonna stand serves two honest questions we should make a decision of other future now the current italian government. seems to represent the same position that nor automatic rollover and the discussion must be made and see if they are a strong country a big country a g. seven country it will be much easier for the smaller e.u. member states to represent this position together with the because. the german spy chief who question uggla merkel's migration policy and has been removed from his post but still he remains any powerful position with the government authorities pure order explains. masson 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 seems although out of one position he's found a new home alongside horse example for the office of the president of the office for the protection of the constitution. will be reshuffled mr become a state secretary in the interior ministry interior minister whole silver has high regard for mr marson abilities on questions of domestic security it's fair to say though that the opposition here in germany are 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 from us 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 has incensed those that were calling for his sacking the head of the federal office for the protection of the constitution with you speak news is now qualified for a position in the interior ministry if there are factual reasons. his replacement he cannot be so seamlessly easily recycled so hands out as heads of germany's interior security services but he also a new job waiting for a no be held with an even bigger salary in the country's interior ministry mantei fascist rally in northern greece descended into chaos on tuesday night riders are holed fire bombs at police cars although no injuries were reported. it was.

that lended you need to deny that they can only die and yet. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five

percent of global wealth he longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business show you can afford to miss the one and only. ratings and salutation. watchers today i am sad to say.

i have to take back the good news i shared with you a few weeks ago and replace it with bad news yes spain has decided to go through with their sale of four hundred laser guided bombs the saudi arabia despite halting the deal back in early september to the cheers of anti. war and human rights activists around the world spain's foreign minister announced the continuation of the deal on owned several radio declaring the decision is that these bombs will be delivered to honor a contract that comes from twenty fifteen and was made by the previous government we found no reason not to carry it out yeah no reason no reason no reason i'm a yes no i mean no reason except for maybe oh gee i don't know ten thousand yemenis citizens killed in the conflict or the eight point four million that are on the brink of bam and but you know no reason that all of this is give saudi arabia some more guns but don't worry folks because when asked whether spain and risk.
