the conversation was in russian and the russian defense ministry has a record of the conversation. make a matter of the aleutian while twenty flying over the north of syria received an order to me with a mission area and head south to return back to the airbase as you can see on the map. these are really jets delivered strikes in a lot of gear which is a western province of the country not in the north of this syrian arab republic of the city a lot of keys located on the western coast. misleading information provided by these really officer about the aereo strikes did not allow the russian twenty airplanes to move timely to safe area. these are real also did not provide any information about the location of the f. sixteen jets. twenty one fifty one and the syrian air defense forces began to repel these really attack and launched surface to air missiles. after the strike these really jets began who began patrolling in the area seventy kilometers west of the syrian coast. and they deployed electronic countermeasures and were probably preparing for another strike at twenty one fifty n

something bigger the really is would know that if they tell the russians then the russians would would want to tell the syrians and the syrians would have adequate. response prepared so to speak and this is let us remember this is about the talk here latakia and talk if it were that many airport is situated and you know there are russian forces there and so on and so forth so these really should have actually if the give the russians like a one hour notice usually this time around they should have given them like two hours but they didn't because they wanted perhaps to get as much damage as possible and this and this you know tragic incident and we think that there's going to be some consequences. we haven't heard from israel yet on this latest revelation what kind of response do you think we will get from israel. i think the israelis would be very embarrassed the russian leader you know hosts these really premier. you know very close quarters during world war two commemorations he gives them. a lot of ear and they listen to their worries and so on and so forth and no you know the situ

obstruct russian efforts from. helping syria regain full sovereignty over it that it already i won my state with this incident russia has become the victim of israel's wral with syria which he would create without. i believe so. it could have been also the case. americans have directed strike. in syria because they would be willing to russian servicemen time ten pm on the seventeenth of september. the defense ministry of national treasure is saying that the israeli jet had behind a russian plane hence setting it on fire now why these forward accusations well we seen continuous attacks on syria by the israeli. government but actually what they're trying to do in the same time is be an ally of russia hence this reaction this time and their feet i think the last eight hours. ok well earlier i spoke to israeli journalist only ben menachem he believes the blame for the downing of the plane should be attributed to syria's defenses of course that it was an accident it's not israel fault with to remember those who shot dow

well first i'd like to express my condolences to the russian people of the russian armed forces and the families of the victims the russians have made many sacrifices to save syria alongside the iranians the syrian people the lebanese. from extremist forces that were supported by the united states with al-qaeda or isis by turkey by israeli regime and by countries like saudi arabia i think it's obvious that the israeli regime put the russian servicemen at risk intentionally in order to be able to carry out this attack on syria which is of course illegal in itself. israeli regime has been supporting isis now on its border with israel with syria indeed in on the border which the occupied because they're occupying syrian territory in the golan heights until recently both isis and al qaeda were based there with israeli regime support so i think the the the the arrogance of netanyahu has caused him great difficulty now because he has to be answerable to the russian people and instead of apologizing as usual the israelis are looking for scapegoats we haven't had any. official response from isr

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 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 mini

according to the russian ministry of defense the israeli plane had purposely hit behind the russian plane knowing that it would result in friendly fire i felt it seems a little bit too convenient for it to be an accident when you say. i don't think you don't want to argue of course with the russian position but. foresees is one of the best forces in the world and the our pilots don't need to hide behind the russia on the plane i think they're right the syrians are to be blamed for the. professional behavior for a shooting down the russian airplane but there's i told you. these early armies now we're making a full investigation about what happened and i think we should wait a few hours and truly have they will have the conclusions from this investigation and i'm sure that these. will inform the russians about the results of this investigation indeed if they are israeli military all the best in the world then these pilots would have known for well that if they flew in this direction and hit behind the plane then the syrian at offense would hit that russian plane and russia has already said

individuals as russian g.r.u. operatives we have c.c.t.v. footage magine president we are happy to share those images with colleagues to take one instance the russian ambassador mentioned that there was a time stamp in the same college or for both individuals i don't know if the ambassador has been to get we cap or we have been to get we camp or there are multiple identical corridors through which people can go this is what happened to the two russians we are confident madam president in our evidence and i am very happy to. talk to any colleague or indeed any un member of the general assembly who has doubts about the evidence is very welcome to come and have a briefing at the british mission. i was asked also about cooperation with the russian authorities i would like to recall for council colleagues that when this episode first happened in march my government went to the russian authorities and asked for their cooperation we were given in reply their request for cooperation was now for wait we would have been hap

more for russian people living in the north, and not only russian speaking, other languages.nd i'm not obligated to do this i can't stay.e one thing i think is interesting is that these channels claim to be independent journalists. if you go on their websites i make a big deal about the fact that they are the equivalent of american networks. think they are, in a case like this, and something of a they wouldse i think be hard-pressed to defend a case like this by saying, we are really just an arm of the russian government, we are really the equivalent of pravda, where there were cases in the past where someone tried to sue the united states, and they were able to defend on the basis of sovereign immunity. i think they are going to be very reluctant to make a wayement that their entire that they present themselves to the world is a sham. the: i understand though, united states has pushed rt to claim that it is an arm of the russian state. which i: channel one, think is the main defendant here as annot been registered agent, but you are right. i don't think being registered an a

several delegations today, on the russian -- called on the russian side to cooperate. everything is exactly the opposite. we have been calling london to cooperate rather than london calling us to cooperate. london has been refusing this cooperation. london needs this story for one purpose. a disgustingd -- hysteria and to involve other countries in this hysteria. the number of inconsistencies and unresolved issues in connection with the new evidence is off the chart. for example, in the photos provided of the suspects, where they are shown going through the cor identical core door -- ridor. thetime corresponds down to second. according to information stated by theresa may, the suspects found themselves approximately .t noon in all police reports it was reported that they left their house early in the morning and never returned. how would it be possible for contact with a contaminated door handle of their house. considerficult to convincing that the suspect used a regular container or perfume bottle to transport. as follows from the reports of this substance is so toxic

used the russian plane as cover against the syrian air defense systems as a result the russian 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 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 about israeli operations are taking place in violation of syria's sovereignty artie's middle east correspondent also there has more. the russian president vladimir putin has spoken with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and during that phone conversation netanyahu expressed his 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 th

a russian military plane is shot down off the coast of syria killing fifteen the russian defense ministry says israeli fighter jets are to blame for intentionally drawing the fire of syrian air defenses directly at the doomed across. the region its deliberately created a dangerous situation on the warships and located in. israel strikes on syria and. syria iran. as well or are to blame for the downing of the russian aircraft. the israeli army and russian president extend their condolences to the families of the plane's crew some of the remains of the crew along with their personal belongings have been located in the mediterranean sea where the twenty came down search and rescue operation is still underway. seven pm here in moscow watching our teams international live with me daniel hawkins where of you are today thanks for joining us this hour let's go straight to our breaking news story coming in from syria israel is to blame for the downing of a russian military jet off the coast of syria that's according to the russian defense ministry it claims the israeli air force use that twenty pl

the russians soldiers. we'll be syrians operating as three hundred and that make it extremely difficult really for these raiders to attack such a system knowing that the russians are going to be implicated. so all of that to say. in the absence of any kind of russian agreement to let these readies do basically what they want to do you are going to see a situation much much more complicated than before and that is going to serve obvious needy danny interest in syria this year in government and his well known and consequently really limited i believe the margin for the israelis to men who are as they used to the israelis do have some considerable leverage with the russians mr rabbani how much action you know can russia take against israel given things like we had from israeli minister. earlier this year who was very quick to remind russia that. you know israel didn't join and western sanctions against russia for its actions in crimea it didn't kick russian ambassadors and diplomats out of its country like a l

and a russian-made missile launched by russian separatists brought down mh 17. we will protect ourselves and that is what we have done since the attack in march. we have introduced new power to detain people at the uk border to determine whether they are engaged in a hostile state activity. we introduced an amendment in response to the violation of human rights and we stepped up our activity against illicit finance entering our country. we also expelled 23 russian diplomats identified as undeclared russian intelligence officers, fundamentally degrading russian intelligence capability in the uk for years to come. and in recognition of the shared threat posed to our allies, 28 other countries as well as nato joined up and expelling over a total of 150 russian intelligence officers, the largest collective expulsion, ever. since then, the g7 agreed to share intelligence on hostile state activities. nato has strengthened its deterrence, including a new cyber operations center. and the u.s. has allowed additional sanctions against russell -- against russia for the att

for the people i think it was a mistake from russian side. think it was an over reaction from the side of pressure and mistake because it brought in a very difficult situation and we have to find right now solution how to find solution between russia and georgia between. georgia and. georgia but i hope that members the less i see that there is a political will in rush or to find. some possible ways of improving aggression george generations including conflict solutions you know a few years ago when i was interviewing former president dmitry medvedev who made that fateful decision it seemed to me that he was actually kind of open to the idea of georgia regaining its territorial integrity i mean he obviously it was up to the people of those breakaway republics but it wasn't the closed file the way crimea for example is a closed file for russia do you believe that or is that oh yes i relieved because pleased to hear it again from you because when i met. with him and put in when i spoke with him he openly in front of the journalist to mention tha

and an immediate proximity to russian il twenty of russian nearest police forces which was coming in for landing use and russian airplane as a cover they put it in line of fire of syrian air defense. as a result ill twenty were the fact of reflected area by several forward bigger than the f. sixteen was downed by an s two hundred most seoul is really of force command center and have sixteen pilots could but see it twenty because it was coming in for a landing from five kilometer altitude however they decided to do is to have that set up these operations did wasn't informed to the russian command center and they did this informed about this on the one minute prior to it which did not leave any chance to put twenty out of the line of fire currently we are conducting the rescue search and rescue operation in the area we see this predicate of actions as a hostile because it is a reckless move by israeli militants and fifteen russian service members dieties out that has nothing to do with the spirit of our car peroration between russia and these are real and we reserve the right to act ac

the difference in tone between the russian ministry of defense. suggest the russian president is satisfied that the point has been made and that this chain of tragic circumstances as he put it shouldn't risk what has hitherto been a pretty good working relationship between russia and israel the israeli prime minister's office said in a statement that prime minister netanyahu expressed his sorrow over the death of russian soldiers and said that syria was responsible for the downfall of the plane he also noted the significance of the continuation of security coordination between israel and russia that has prevented many losses of lives on both sides over the last three years at the moment need a leader seems willing to allow this incident to upset the status quo or reach allan's how does iran. well for more on this says speak to larry korb who is a former u.s. assistant secretary of defense he's live from washington d.c. thank you very much for joining us on al-jazeera parties involved in this incident it seems want to calm things down calm the tens

we russians like lives in this area we understand their nationality of the russian russian activities and these are in our and i believe that to accept it and welcoming it by the time we cannot allow it on the ns to develop any ability ability and will keep on striking them whatever the results are and by i believe. do you. hold the. devotions talking about the drugs again i just want to get into a bit more detail on the incident specifically obviously you say israel treats the russians as allies and as we've established there is usually some communication and coordination between the militaries in this case though the russian ministry of defense is saying they got less than a minute or around a minute notice before this strike these really government israeli officials so far haven't acknowledged the incident they haven't commented and not given any official explanation or apology that's hardly a way to treat allies as you describe. well unfortunately i had to leave the army very early i was only a couple of the time i'm not in the picture or do you appear not to picture for what happ

no way the israeli pilots could not have seen the russian plane. really 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 stress to that israeli operations are taking place in violation of syria's sovereignty artie's middle east correspondent policy or has more. the russian president vladimir putin has spoken with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and during that phone conversation netanyahu expressed his great he blamed the domain 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 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 his beloved there so

are officers from the russian military intelligence service. also known as the g.r.u. just check it out so you can. go and you know just whether they are actually serving officers in russian intelligence agencies we have significant lines of inquiry about who don't meet when we want people to come forward and give us the evidence you'd think they would have to know who these two suspects are before accusing them of being russian military intelligence agents but no instead they're asking the public for help to identify these two men who do raise it may already seems to know this was not a row operation it was almost certainly also approved outside the g.r.u. a senior level of the russian state would be real easy if they just called up the russians and ask them with passport numbers and everything but they aren't on speaking i can confirm that we have had no cooperation from the russian government on the other hand how do you complain that someone isn't being helpful when you refuse to pick up the phone you know you wouldn't be. risking. the british and voice said that t

the new russian manufactured nova chocks and then that fell through the russians pointed out a dozen other countries capable of doing so czech republic admitted they had synthesize small quantities for defense britain's own chemical lab porton down admitted it had micro stockpiles contradictions everywhere. so they happening right now voting underway this weekend in sweden in a general election that could rock the political landscape the poll suggested the swedish democrats party is gaining traction with pre-election campaigning largely dominated by immigration on saturday election rivals had their final chance to sway voters. are really needs britain's when it responsible gratian well the city and do not something there is only one green saw in swedish bullets explore responsible and immigration in sweden this grand jury is sweden democrats resides in the nazis does great again and again and again they show their nats in races roots and they're trying to destroy the time when we need that corporation the most newly in the foster today it is not working class children who are not all

things that old russian speaking people should leave the crimea all russian language should be just. i mean of course the people who were living there they decided to change there just to be long it's a consenting rush george generalizations into cells and a it was very painful of course first of all it's difficult for me to say that but. let's say i'm brave enough to say that yes question really was the main just person who begin a war really gave the order in russia react there's absolutely no love lost for mr secretary in russia but i think people now can appreciate that he never went as far as cutting the ties by the i don't think so maybe it was not so with the bull it was no so just both for many russian people but russia really enjoyed was successful to create the absolutely russian feeling especially in generations so he was trying to do this. yes fortunately not fortunately so what is very important to say yes of course you mentioned the recognition of a president. this was a very painful for me and for georgia for the country and for the people i think it was a mistake from

russian sovereign debt. the kind of language floating around is the new russian -- financial institutions. while this takes place in lipid the value would not be in trouble currently. but why it is important, when they post crimea sanction, and the economy started coming down and oil prices were down, we relied the ability of westerners to buy up russian debt as we bailout the economy. the puritan regime -- putin regime so when you take that and again, not fully taking it away but if you start to nibble their ability to do that in the future, one of the sanctions about, is not about punishment. his decision-making matrixed is harder for him and the economic downturn or another round of sanctions to raise funds -- when their time comes, maybe they will think twice about pushing further into the ukraine or continuing to evade help and the north korean regime. and sanction russian entities that are involved in that recently. how do you change -- some of these macro issues beyond the -- how do you change that --

side there will be blood that the russian service men will be killed in case the russians support a military action mainly in it live and this was also coordinated with the americans i believe that comes as part of the is collation. by the american side and its threat to. in case the syrian army moves to a liberated live from terrorist groups there so. i understand this incident as part of this escalation and i believe that it came at a crucial moment when president putin was able to strike a deal with. the president over at the in order to stop the military operation there and to try to do to defuse the situation that's why i believe that the israeli side is fully responsible for provoking the incident and drawing. friendly fire from the city in part two down the the russian plane with fifteen servicemen on board. the trade war between the united states and china sea the lows have to beijing announced tariff ikes on key u.s. products and if against american exports like liquefied natural gas is retaliation for president trump's announcement of fresh tariffs on a wide range of chine

syria the russian i-l. twenty had been heading to the committeeman and base for israeli fighter jets were attacking the latakia region and put the russian plane in the line of fire as a result a missile from a syrian f. two hundred air defense system which were targeting the israeli forces shot down the russian plane a french frigate which had initially been accused of involvement in the incident with close by in the mediterranean middle east correspondent paula has the details to add to the comments that have been issued by the russian defense ministry here in israel everybody is keeping mum on the matter we have approached the israeli army the israeli defense ministry as what is the foreign ministry the repeated response is no comment also trying to get other israeli officials to come in this seems to be a reluctance to do so because this is the worst case so noria for israel and no doubt they want to get their ducks in a line and formulate some kind of response in terms of why and how this in fact happen

responding to the russian dinars the russian ambassador we heard earlier utterly rejecting the claims by the british government that russian officers were behind a nerve agent attack on a former russian spy and his daughter using novacek he said that these were same with pete it lies and they were unfounded in mendacious cocktail of facts and this was all designed to unleash hysteria against russia he was also demanding. beg your pardon let's just listen in while the united kingdom takes the fall again i just want to make very clear that the united kingdom shares that position about.

what is described in the west as a russian invasion of crimea is a fact the presence of russian soldiers in crimea can you clarify that got us discuss all about they could have to go to a barely spoke all of the quote but the most of the most go full of the could and. as long ago as eighteen zero four sevastopol is a naval base became the main military port of the russian empire on the black sea. during the second world war the heroic defense of sevastopol lasted almost a year and took hundreds of thousands of lives. therefore the naval base in crimea has a legacy of historical pride for the russian black sea fleet as well as being of huge strategic importance. those of us alive back then remember when there were soviet missiles put into cuba how frightened americans were and how angry and how we almost went to a nuclear confrontation over having weapons of that kind of destruction placed that close to the united states. just so if the united states considers cuba to be in its backyard. then crimea plays at russia's doorstep. the consequences of a u.s. seizure of the face or a nato base

the russians are backing him.or russia continuing to back a president who gasses his own people? i think we‘re coming to the same story as for the skripal case. some people have some evidence indicating something. well, we have a completely different evidence that other people are preparing provocation of the use of chemical weapons as a possible reason for counter action. that‘s the discrepancy in our analysis. we warned the international community about the possibility of a chemical weapon could be used by one of the parties in the syrian battle. so we have to distinguish clearly the terrorists and the opposition in syria. we cannot stay quiet if the terrorist groups remain at a certain place. if other governments believe there are good terrorists and bad terrorists, that‘s not a good approach. we do not think it‘s a good approach. we should make it clear who are the bad guys and who are the good guys. let‘s just be brutally frank about this, you sat in a russian government as deputy prime minister, which, for y
