fighting in syria on different sides and the tiniest spark there could cause the biggest inferno the world's ever seen to recap serious air defenses shot down a russian military plane killing all fifteen people on board as a response to an airstrike by israeli f. sixteen fighter jets the tragic incident happened thirty five kilometers off the syrian coast as the aircraft was returning to a russian run air base a criminal investigation has been opened by russia's intelligence committee and a delegation from the israeli army will arrive in moscow on thursday to find information from their side meanwhile president trump on tuesday once again claimed that it is the u.s. that deserves most of the credit for fighting terrorists in syria we have done a tremendous job in syria and in that region eradicating isis which is why we're there. we're very close to being finished with. and then we're going to make
9:03 pm
a determination as to what we're going to do but we have eradicated isis at a very large area of the middle east the vainglorious claim that the united states has defeated isis is of course enough to make a horse laugh because every cent being knows that it was syria and russia and its allies in syria. defeated isis in almost all of the country and if the americans are trying to stop an assault on it which they clearly are. then by definition means that isis and particularly al qaida ironically are going to stay in libya if no one attacks them no one crushes them indefinitely which i suppose by trumps logic means the us will be remaining indefinitely they hope. the greek government is to move around two thousand migrants from an

9:09 pm
provide for themselves off you know more than the economy the eminent at the what are. the. i did. some in mosul say that i saw was initially welcomed into the city as they promised a better life now the families of the terrorists and those who suffered at their hands that live side by side. but the believe and you only know without it and was . well out of the idea for both of you i knew. enough to have come a photo or so when i'm on the show or it will all you're going to show the show or something. and you be our show office and to know. actually look i'm not stupid enough to do it. i said to my wife just for the money that we never need to listen and you know you. are going to stuff i don't really die on their own i'm

a fun month. those are excerpts from a new r r t documentary called mosul between war and peace which if you watch on our t.v. dot com. beijing is calling on washington not to put limits on the work of chinese journalists in the u.s. that follows reports that the justice department plans to classify two chinese news outlets as foreign agents who do all they do it to. anyone who is familiar with china's diplomatic policy should know that china pursues the principle and position of not interfering in other countries domestic affairs we don't want others to interfere in our domestic politics and we will no into phase in the domestic politics of others the two outlets apparently being targeted by the justice department are the news agency in china a global television network case is believed to be linked to allegations of chinese meddling in the upcoming u.s. term elections we asked the u.s.
9:12 pm
justice department for reaction but it refused to comment. of the us of foreign agents registration act or farrow was created in one thousand nine hundred thirty eight to counter covert influence by a nazi germany that was required to register as foreign agents have to submit to disclosure forms about their activities on u.s. soil you can also be stripped of their congressional press credentials which limits access to certain u.s. officials in the past year to russian news organizations our sister channel r.t. america and sputnik have been forced to register under the act. china and of us are also in the midst of a tit for tat trade war as well the u.s. will impose a ten percent tax on chinese goods worth around two hundred billion dollars next week almost all chinese exports to the u.s. will be affected and beijing is retaliating with tariffs on sixty billion dollars worth of american imports a mixed economy wow economics professor and lee it was difficult to seize
9:13 pm
washington's move as a political gambit ahead of the mid-term elections often those other opinions said don't get heard on the left and right american media. can be heard on foreign media and by shutting out foreign media potentially limit the ability for americans to have the full spectrum of opinions trump and the republicans basically worry about losing their base and. the momentum they have and so here they want to clearly show that they are doing everything they can to fight a perceived enemy which is china at the moment. so this would be another easy thing to point to as something concrete they're doing to punish china was never a target before because simply they never had to worry about it there was nothing threatening coming from these channels it had a very small audience anyway that's probably just one or two percent of the entire
9:14 pm
audience and and so it really posed zero threat but now they need to just. have something to point to. for. the term elections and the script be one of those easy check off the box sort of things that that they're doing to fight against the chinese. the leaders of north and south korea have hailed a new era in their relations during talks significant progress towards the demilitarization of the peninsula was so to have been made. since unions who are we have signed a military agreement to enter the history of tragic conflict and to still a city that has existed for decades we have also promised to make the korean peninsula the land of peace without nuclear weapons and threats.
9:15 pm
your cup on north korea has agreed to permanently dismantle the downturn re misao and enticed side to launch pads and the presence of international experts also north korea has agreed to take additional measures such as the permanent dismantling of new young young nuclear facility if the rock corresponding measures from the us or the agreement includes a roadmap forward. position in favor of all the people in europe in the region middle east and the world as well it's very difficult to say how the iranians will react may be dead will accept to enter the negotiation if there is more global if it is different from the government to govern for us version and of course it was very difficult to reach the first agreement but now that if we have one it might be much easier for diplomats to go to a second for. poland has asked of us to sell a permanent military base in the country the subject was brought up by the polish
9:16 pm
president and meeting with donald trump in the white house. the polish government is prepared to offer significant host nation support to cover the majority of course through required to permanently deploy u.s. armored division to poland the president offered us. much more than two billion dollars to do this. job of submission i would very much like for us to set up. american base in poland which we would call food trump.
9:17 pm
this is a man who puts his name on everything he touches is he sort of like that you know king midas touch everything in it turned to gold trump such as everything and it also turns to gold because or photo gold because he likes the color of gold it's possible it could happen you've got a congress. that goes along with the idea that major should be expanded right up to russia's border because russia is aggressive and threat to europe there is a problem which is that normally bases. are not named after living people. you know that in the united states you normally mean military bases after famously dead people i think there'd be a lot of hue and cry about me meaning base after a living president. but the meeting in the oval office did not please everyone in
9:18 pm
poland where the media labeled one photo as offensive so as you can see the polish president on jay dude was smiling about but he is standing somewhat awkwardly at the corner of the desk while signing an agreement at the same time trump seems to have a menacing expression on his face while sitting comfortably in his chair. switching gears now for the first time an international cargo ship has used the arctic ocean to connect europe and asia potentially cutting two weeks off transit times event maersk ship left russia's eastern the port city of lot of us took three weeks ago bound for europe it has a number of stops on the way the first was in south korea to pick up electronics and then cross the arctic ocean and is currently navigating its way down the side of scandinavia towards germany the last stop before returning to russia this northern route is much quicker than the current one through the suez canal though that goes through africa and the middle east and it will only be feasible in the

summer however the dire effects of climate change in the arctic could see operations increase in the future. we spoke to a maritime economist who says the northern sea route would actually greatly enhance trade but is a clear economic benefit from the study that we have conducted. that is demonstrating that and that by sailing through the north sea route people can save a lot of my supporters can save a lot of money in the supply chains are going to be sorter and because of that the fact that they have been going to skive sort of supply chains going to sort of better the economy some of the environmentally second sand that if an accident is going to happen up there in their suits then if it's heavy fuel load then it's going to cause a lot of the mist in the environment of course as you know the truth has been used for many years and not many accidents have been reported and is running smoothly of course if you're going to have the escort from the ice breakers that's going to benefit even better. is the sailing in the navigation of food through the region as
