international a look back at the top stories that shape the week. russia's defense ministry has given a detailed timeline of the downing of an ag craft in syria in a statement to the media the ministry explained why it holds israel responsible for monday's tragedy in which fifteen russian service personnel died. at twenty thirty one on september nineteenth the russian survey aircraft it was twenty started its patrol mission in a deescalation zone and it lived in syria's northwest around the same time four israeli f. sixteen fighter jets left israel's space they flew over neutral waters of the mediterranean and took up a combat ready position ninety kilometers from syria's port of latakia at twenty one thirty nine the israeli air force informed russia its f. sixteen s with a carry out an air raid in northern syria but the israeli message was misleading because israel informed russia it would strike targets in the north of syria but instead they had targets in the western province of latakia just
8:02 pm
a minutes after the israeli jets conducted as strikes in the taqiyya province following the cole the russian it was when she received an order to move south and exit the supposed to target zone with such short notice the russian plane was unable to reach a safe area eleven minutes after the attack began syrian air defenses started firing missiles already in combat position at twenty one fifty nine one of the f. sixteen started to maneuver towards the coast and approach the ill twenty series and defense systems registered the maneuver as the start of another attack and opened fire the it was when she was hit by a missile and four minutes later disappeared from radar as russia believes it was the actions of the israeli jets that put the old twenty at immense risk because. pilot was aware the russian planes would be a preferred target for the empty aircraft missile because of its larger raid across section they also knew that syrian raiders were likely to identify the old twenty
8:03 pm
as a group of israeli jets because russia and syria use different friend or foe systems . the israeli military disputes small scale fashion of events the i.d.f. says its fighter jets were not hiding behind a russian patrol plane and had left the area before it was shot down. staff looks at how the disaster could affect relations between russia and israel whatever side you ask no one's guilty culpable or liable everyone blames someone else israel holds the assad regime his military shot down the russian plane fully responsible for this incident israel also holds iran and hezbollah a terrorist organization accountable for this unfortunate incident this regrettable incident is the result of the usual israeli impudence and rodimus who always use the filthiest means to achieve their unsavory goals and in that the hostility in our region was that the syrians who launched a missile while fending off
8:04 pm
a surprise a raid on their country was a theory and his by law who apparently had an arms factory that just had to be bombed or was it the israelis who reportedly hid behind russian aircraft because presented objective data testify that the actions of israeli fighter pilots which led to the loss of life of fifteen russian servicemen either a lack professionalism were an act of criminal negligence to say the least. russia holds israel responsible that is clear and israel's excuses have been dismissed as just that excuses the israeli regime put the russian serviceman at risk intentionally in order to be able to carry out this attack on syria which is of course illegal in itself the arrogance of netanyahu has caused him great difficulty
8:05 pm
now because he has to be answerable to the russian people and instead of apologizing as usual the israelis are looking for scapegoats israel insists it had to bomb the arabians hizbullah are there and then yet how many times is israel now had to bomb syria dozens and dozens monthly to stop iranian and shia aggression it says how many times has iran attacked israel and this puts russia in a tough spot its trademark selling point of being friends with everyone may be impossible to keep up russia is now quite even handed in the middle east and he tries to keep good relation was all the parties was is was the arabs with the palestinians was turkey was iran. i wonder how long will it last that you can be
8:06 pm
a friend of everybody because by the end of the day we are dealing with a very frigidly reality in the middle east with very contradictory powers and a lot of atrocity as we know in vallance what russia thought it could manage and why not look at all it has done for israel. when russia flew near the israeli occupied golan heights they warned them three hundred ten times they notified israel when israel bombed syria russia never shot down. an israeli jet saw missiles even when they posed a danger to russian personnel at israel's request russia tore up a deal to sell syria s three hundred ad defense systems which would have made israeli air raids much more difficult a war. israel expressed its concerns as soon as the s three hundred deal with syria was signed. israel concluded that with these new air defense systems syria would
8:07 pm
have been able to cover all of israel's airspace that means that damascus could have shut down israeli military planes just seconds after takeoff the israeli said they cannot let that happen they expressed their alarm and asked moscow to break the deal russia's answered israel's concerns by first suspending the contract and then withdrawing from it completely and returning four hundred million dollars that it already received from the syrian government. russia helped broker a deal to keep iranian and hezbollah forces in syria away from the golan heights from the israeli border at israel's request in golan heights the russian military at israel's request launched a special operation to identify and exuma the remains of israeli soldiers dead for decades and russia got un troops back to the golan heights after six years at the request of israel with the assistance of the russian forces all
8:08 pm
iran backed formations with heavy weapons were withdrawn from the golan heights to a safe distance for israel more than one hundred forty kilometers to the east of syria in twenty sixteen at the urgent request of the chief of the general staff of the israel defense forces israel received the mega three tank captured in one thousand eight hundred two in lebanon and kept in russia ever since. and then there's the diplomatic cover russia has given israel by backing it up and the un security council or by protecting israel from the bombers parting shots. know russia has been helping israel a lot moscow has always taken israeli interests into account especially when it comes to the middle east settlement. for example in twenty sixteen the outgoing a bomber administration tried to push the draft resolution on the israeli palestinian sets women at the u.n.
8:09 pm
security council that resolution would have adopted artificial circumstances for the settlement which were on acceptable for israel russia to israel's concerns into account and despite then u.s. secretary of state john kerry embodying russian foreign minister lavrov with requests to vote in favor of it russia didn't do it moscow helped israel in that case so the resolution didn't pass you'd have thought israel would be grateful or at least appreciate the effort but fifteen russian servicemen and now dead killed in the crossfire israel's preemptive vendettas which means one of two things either the israeli government has no care it's all for all that russia has done or that the israeli military leads a very separate life. the wall down to dating agency has reinstated russia's anteater ability says they secession ended a three year suspension for alleged state sponsored taping. the great majority of
8:10 pm
the world and she doping agency's executive committee decided to reinstate the russian anti doping agency as complying with the world anti-doping code was or had given russia a list of demands it requirements was that resorted to miss grant full access to data samples stored in a small scale lab russia agreed to comply the main sticking points had been the reports by canadian dr richard mclaren which alleged russia ran the state sponsored doping scheme the list called for it to acknowledge complicity and doping moscow denies such a program ever existed but in a letter to water russia's sports minister admitted that there were issues within the countries and today being agency the reinstatement has not been welcomed by everyone as our sports correspondent alexia chefs explains. it's definitely been a very difficult decision for water and even in that statement the knowledge that the decision would be unpopular and would be met with a lot of criticism the u.s.
8:11 pm
anti-doping agency chief. he went as far as saying that water needs to be completely reformed after that decision it's a blow to clean sport and in fact for the past week or so the criticism coming towards was way you know everywhere on social media in the in the articles on television. not only that the number of and i'd open agencies in the world including the u.k. the united states new zealand australia poland canada they were all urging the president of water not to take the step to reconsider you know it's surprising because how would you expect the country to purify its sport if you're saying that its agency which is destiny which is tasked to purify the sport should not be operational it's a chance that wada gave to the russian anti-doping agency to have fewer screen sport in the country this would change nothing for those athletes who have been accused of doping are serving their bans this is all about clean athletes the door is not shut open for them it's only they've been given the chance to open that door
8:12 pm
into the sport because one of the main conditions of the international association of athletics federations to reinstate the russian athletes was that should be operational meaning that you know athletes have to be checked for doping in order to be clean and in order to be participating international competitions flying the russian flag so essentially this happened now but a lot of work is ahead and make no mistake about it now resort it will be heavily scrutinized and will be heavily checked by water so it's definitely a long road ahead the deputy head of russia's anti taping agency told us. going to great lengths to ensure compliance. it's a blood. it's been a lot of work this saga has lasted for almost three years a lot of things have been done the russian anti-doping agency now has a completely need team it's been hard work for russia sports ministry as well as wada they're provided international experts to rebuild the capability of russia's anti-doping agency from my viewpoint it's a well earned a victory and it's not
8:13 pm
a victory of just one and it is the logical result of all the hard work of those involved the reinstatement of result of that i mean is is a turning point in the in this whole story and i get we all hope the rush to get back to. the championships and saying this is a day to celebrate a lot of restructuring has been made but is this what makes this decision very important it shows that there is a willingness to change seeing. his work what cards still to come on the weekly the battle to confirm a new supreme court justice is heating up in the us that story and more after the break.

true how much more women's empowerment needs to happen for gender based policies become redundant. welcome back to the weekly the british opposition leader has said that he's ready to support a second referendum on leaving the european union jeremy corbyn said he will respect the outcome of a labor party vote on choose day on whether to seek a so-called people's votes on bracks it the move could poll further the pressure on the prime minister to resign may his own plan for bracks it was rejected as you summit in austria this week and that leaves britain facing the prospect of crushing out of the e.u. with no deal next march in a speech after the naysaying prime minister made to mounted a greater respect from europe. throughout this process i have treated the e.u.
8:16 pm
with nothing but respect the u.k. expects the same. r.t.s. in a day or a tutor takes a closer look at the stalemate between brussels and london. gregg's it an on off drama that feels like it's been going on for centuries well since twenty sixteen the british pm has of course got her back covered by newly appointed foreign secretary jeremy hunt and that's exactly what he did following the tenth summit in salzburg what reason is saying is don't mistake british politeness for weakness if you put it in a difficult corner we will stand our ground that's the kind of country we are how effective this so-called power lightness will be is debatable but let me continue with the plot the e.u. effectively has thrown out may's proposed post economic partnership with the e.u. task is uncompromising and france's present micron is pretty scathing to decide
8:17 pm
just its framework for economic cooperation. it must be clear that. we're. ready to compromise and. first of all this is. for fundamental freedoms. and. single market and this is the way we. remain skeptical and critical understood this part of the checkers proposal at this late stage in the negotiations it is not acceptable to simply reject the other side's proposals without a detailed explanation and counterproposals you know teachers or something and i completely respect british sovereignty when i see that but it showed that those who see that we can easily live without you rip that everything is going to be all right and that is going to bring
8:18 pm
a lot of money are liars but hunt is not alone brags it is continue to support me this year mark owen is not only out of order. he's completely wrong the e.u. is doing their classic case of trying to bully the u.k. and of a riot e of ways into taking a different position it is a well known british political truism that when you start insulting your opponents you've already lost the argument why would an economy want to change themselves to a sinking monolith when we could be at the center of a global network of free trade deals and investment partnerships a strong british stance indeed against the european union so after these political games you would think that the e.u. had slammed the door on any negotiations or proposals but no it seems that donald tusk has not quite done a u. turn but a mini semi turned assuring the brits that a deal is not dead and went on to say that he was a true admirer of the british pm and believes a compromise could be found confused well i certainly am the european union is in
8:19 pm
a complete mess you can see that the european union has huge problems brussels likes to put on a show it likes to show that it's tough and hard to try and dissuade other nation states from leaving the european union like britain what i will see now is that those people in the council and the commission will be trying to work on a deal that goes to the very last minute of the last day of the negotiations that is what they've done in the past you can see that it is an elite at the top that come along so democratic nation states voting for leaders who support policies that people want this is the core problem of the european union and that is why we will see further problems and further disagreements between the nation states in the european union. and while theresa may struggles to win over eighty leaders she faces an even bigger battle to get the british public behind her on sunday thousands of people ten thousand the city of liverpool where the labor party

8:22 pm
a fool to me an issue for you too i want to be sure will clear this didn't happen you were spanked chicks to prove this false then cavanagh's habit of buying baseball tickets became breaking news investigative reporters scoured his financial disclosure. and learned that he and his friends buy a ticket to a baseball game so as you can see there's still plenty of showing us to go around but then things got serious accusations of attempted rape which is career ending stuff in the age of me two came up christine blasi forward accuses brett kavanaugh the tempting to rape her back in the one nine hundred eighty s. when they were both teenagers at a party now she wants an f.b.i. investigation if the senators who have come forward and said they want to treat the seriously mean that then they'll they'll have an investigation of these allegations so that we all go into this more informed so twenty four women who went to high
8:23 pm
school with brett kavanaugh signed a letter saying that they support the accuser then sixty five women signed another letter saying that they defend brett kavanaugh his character now those who support the democrats generally believe the accuser those is the republicans think she is lying and i've been calling her names not surprisingly the media is now taking sides this was an attempted rape and i believe offensive forward judge cabinet has lied multiple times she's not sure when it happened where it happened who else was present she never reported it to anybody this is nothing if they get away with this there is you have c.n.n. running the country because this allegation could be made against anyone at any time now the u.s. department of justice says that it's not a federal case but it seems like proving guilt or innocence isn't exactly the issue here i think the nomination should be withdrawn the bar here is not.
8:24 pm
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to for indication let it be an arms race based on often skeery dramatic development only. exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down. and tom. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten like howard prime tamping he did. eighty five percent of the global wealth he longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need
