did i deny it. was. the russian military plane is shot down off the coast of syria killing fifteen at servicemen president putin calls it a tragic chain of events after the russian defense ministry accused israel of provoking syrian anti-aircraft fire. israel admits that its warplanes were bombing syrian targets at the time of the tragedy but insists that damascus is fully responsible for getting russian plane. search teams find the remains of some of

those on board the dow which fell into the mediterranean sea. our broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our teacher national thomas really glad to have you with us we start with breaking news this hour the leaders of north and south korea have just signed a joint statement on day two of their three day summit in trying yang the deal between in and kim jong il and that includes a road map for denuclearization they also signed an agreement on military cooperation and to kim jong il accepted an invitation to visit seoul for the first time now we are closely following this development of the story and we'll bring you all the details as soon as we get them. they have us and counterparts about these strikes using existing communicate. mechanisms now this seems to contradict

information that emerged earlier off to 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 he's 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 kilometer has 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

ten o'clock local time monday evening the down the russian plane was in i want to. aircraft is known by nato as the qut 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. 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 obvious of a stop or air base where prayers and a minute's silence were held. and said that the downing of the plane was due to a tragic chain of. command. and you concluded 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 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 and that in 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 a. former british ambassador to syria peter ford believes israel has no grounds for attacking syrian targets. can have their own opinions but they can't have their own facts and the fact is that iran and syria have not launched a single unprovoked attack on israel. two thousand and six when i was defending that going on against an israeli attack since that day not being one

single provoked attack from the syrian side that that is the fact it's really is not on this threat from iran or hezbollah a pretext to attack syria i very much doubt that israel will change its behavior because israel has given diplomatic. political cover by the united states in the u.n. security council just imagine it was on the other foot and that syria or iran that was launching strikes on israeli coastal cities just imagine that to get some of the enormity of what israel is doing but of course there is no way of calling israel to account because of the u.s. veto in the security council. monday night incident was not the first time israel

has been in action against syria or it has new do or two there was here in the studio earlier discussing the previous cases 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 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 fall if we go forward there was

a face to face meeting between the let me are on the eighth of may in front of 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 have taken 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 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 to set the 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 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 the israeli ambassador over the incident the director of the. marwar fark told us how relations between russia and israel are likely to play up. 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 free 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 warned 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 . israeli missile strikes came just hours after the russian and the 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 whilst major

rebel stronghold and his blood comments. 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 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 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 notion 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 it 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 if 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 they spent untold billions arming and financing the syrian rebels only to lose we consider any assault and 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 then 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 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 we just down a path of a potential where you can get something that's what's kinetic if they're actually

engaging and 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 red. red. china has announced a tariffs on us a goods worth sixty billion dollars in response to president trump's latest measures against a beijing and then to move on look response to the action taken by the us side china has to take necessary countermeasures to defend its own did you do with rights and interests and save guard the global free trade today i direct 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 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 chinese goods. on the streets of beijing the chinese government retaliation was met with approval. being used to stop the us from imposing on reasonable policies but not to start a trade war with each other therefore it was necessary yeah which 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 i think trump imposing tariffs on chinese goods is absolutely wrong or at least breaks the rules that joseph chang

professor of political science at the city university of hong kong told us that the tariffs could damage both countries being attacked that is that you say they all told in braille in that post station scheduled to be held in the next few weeks unfortunately the so-called trade war you come on to dispute which and two countries increasingly seen as. the same with all due to share in the yukon the me in the science and technology field in the coming trend the thirty year old the cost that the scales will tend to be drawn drawn out all the old parts of the key the only thing on sale train wall which will be very damaging the whole country. president putin has hosted a meeting with prime minister in the kremlin the agenda were energy supplies and

also that use split with viktor orbán over his migrant crackdown articulate a track of comments. last time the 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 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 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 worthy partners and 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 in the kremlin will be brought up at that european get together. at the head of the meeting are shevardnadze spoke to hungary's foreign minister. you can watch the full interview on so here and go on from it here's a quick preview. we're always honest we are we are in favor of straightforward speech we hate 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 is a value on the other hand we made it very clear that there must be a dialogue there must be a discussion an honest discussion a straightforward discussion about further sanctions have been successful or not and then let's see if things factually but the retard european economies whether it

helped russian economy or other it helped to implement the music agreements and so on and so forth so there are very straightforward questions and there are very easy answers yes or no and then after giving honest answers to 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. i. the german spy chief who questioned angela merkel's migration policy has been removed from his post but still remains in a powerful position within the government has read his bitter oliver explains. 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 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 reshot. mr become a state secretary in the interior ministry interior minister hall c. hall for 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 fair could pull his head out of the news again the voters are losing again because the critical removal of mass and 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 came 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 onto 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 mustn't 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 his 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 patchi 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 on the s.p.d. so she came up with this compromise the real issue is that the the credibility of

the merkel is on the line and i mean she's the one who has brought this disaster on to her country and onto europe itself violent crimes involving migrants the big news here in germany right now i spoke to the father of one man who died following it all to cation with migrants in the city of veteran burke his family say they're still looking for justice and his father said that he's being called a nazi for speaking out he's a short taste of the interview the full version will be aired he would r.t. on friday my info. or both it was. or would she be of use and go home get through it get your info. but the up on. the thing to truth nuked of with the nifty this will do when they start. they will cry t. i want to turn one hundred. let's go back to our breaking news this hour the

leaders of north and south korea have just signed a joint statement in pyongyang it's now day two of a three day summit between kim jong un and mungy and it remains includes a road map for denuclearization and a military cooperation from south korea also plan to establish a rail link between the countries and allow family union leaders pledged to set up a peace is zone on their shared border and kim jong un accepted an invitation to visit sort. of some big events happening there of course our news team is following developments as we get more and we'll get it to you you're watching our two international i'll be back with more news at the top the hour stay with us. seem wrong. why don't we just don't call. me. yet to
