and russia has weighed in by striking these villages and civilians in the north part of syria or southern part of turkey depending on how you draw that border. and threatening the turkish grip on the northern part of syria. and turkey has responded by shooting down a russian aircraft. now, russia's put in stronger antiaircraft system there. and in northern syria. so it's a standoff militarily, it's a standoff politically. and at this point, neither side wants to escalate the rhetoric or the fracture because both sides are playing very complexed, nuanced games. >> huh. so standoff for now, but is this a prelude to something else? you underscore russia and its air strikes there in northern syria. just on the turkish border, but do you see retaliation by russia on turkey proper in any way? >> well, not yet. not military retaliation. but what you can see is there's economic retaliation. there's diplomatic retaliation. and this, of course, is embarrassing to turkish president. on the other hand, turkey's received strong support from president obama and nato. but no one wants this to escalate.

with a billion over the last four years and also with some social cost and in southern syria.there is certainly a cost but it is one that the europeans are willing to bear. >> this brings us to the end of this interesting discussion it is important for the neighborhood as well. with that economic engine and what happens is is in turkey in neighboring countries as well. so be will be watching when we bring back to discuss what happens and thank you to the audience and participating to ask questions and we will see you all next week for the next forum on the 18th. thank you.

syria. turkey says it repeatedly warned the aircraft. it also alleges the fighter flew into its an air space in the southern region which borders syria. >>syrian opposition forces control the region where the plane went down. activists there say the two pilots have been killed. video has emerged reportedly showing one of the crew. >>> a spokesman for the u.s.-lead coalition has given a briefing on this incident. let's get more on that from rosiland jordan in washington, d.c. what did they say? >> reporter: the spokesperson for what is called operation inherent resolve, colonel steve warren told reporters that turkey told the pentagon that it had warned the pilot and co-pilot of the russian su-24 several times upwards of 10 times in about five minutes before taking the decision to shoot down the su-24. the pentagon says because u.s. military personnel were not involved in this incident, they can't independently confirm, but they are saying this is what the turks have told them. the u.s. is also trying to conduct its own intelligence to try to figure out exactly where this incident between the turks and the russians took place. did it take

syria into turkey. let me show you why this is such an important nexus point between here and the u.s. i.s.i.l. fighters go through turkey, sometimes going into istanbul, going down to southern turkey and make their way into syria and iraq. millions of refugees flee through those same borders through turkey, some of them stay here, some go on to europe. president obama is in turkey today. he spoke in the turkish coastal city of antalia. having one of their regular meetings, the president today defended the coalition strategy of air strikes. here's some of what president obama said. >> even as we grief with our french friends, however, we can't lose sight that there has been progress being made. on the military front, or coalition is intensifying our air strikes, more than 8,000 to date. we're taking out i.s.i.l. leaders. commanders. their killers. we have seen that when we have an effective partner on the ground, i.s.i.l. can, and is, pushed back. >> but the progress that president obama talks about is relevant. relative. let me show you how and why on this map. i.s.i.l. still controls significant territory. the red section of this map shows i.s.i.l. held land in syria and i

the turkish authorities to create safe havens inside of syria which would start with imposing a no fly zone over turkey and then -- over southern turkey into syria and allow for the refugees in that area to have some safe space. ultimately, without the presence of ground forces it could be little done to prevent isis to continuing its ability to adapt to these air strikes. there's been another plan to try and get arab countries to put together a rapid deployment force of sunni arab countries and try to take hold of some of these areas with the iraqi army. that falls into the politics of the region, the broader politics of the region which has been a major reason of paralysis when it comes to dealing with the big issue of syria, how much of the arab world get involved and the international community get involved of trying to oust president assad. we know because of support to the president as well as the iranian support and hezbollah forces fighting on the ground that's not an easy thing to achieve and only make the situation worse in terms of battlefield dynamics. >> thanks for joining me tonight. really appreciate it. mpblt te

just another day at norfolk southern. syria >>> welcome back everybody.course spontaneous nt for the network. he had the opportunity to speak with the syrian president and you are joining us on the phone from damascus. what did the syrian president have to say about these terrorist attacks in the french capitol today? >> first, i offer condolences to the attacks. it was chaos in syria by supporting the rebels in paris and washington and moderate with the radical or terrorist. he said that he had longed warned the europeans three years ago it could become a meeting land for terrorism. now that it happened, it's a consequence of the policy because there's terrorism. >> reporter: unfortunately, i think we lost our connection there. the french journalist who just spoke to the syrian president. isis has claimed responsibility calling them targeted. nick is on the frontlines of the fight against isis and live in iraq. he joins me now live. talk to us a little bit, nick, about this online claim of responsibility. does it match other claims of responsibility? >>

syria. it's vital to have a coordination between us and the russians. the safety of our borders and the southern part of syria is important to jordan. >> reporter: to secure the frontier, jordan supported and trained rebels behind the border. jordan doesn't want russian air strikes to target the rebels. these fighters say they don't trust russia, even though they are supporting opposition forces. >> they are targetting civilians, and other businesses. we describe it as an invasion. it is apart from the problem and not the solution. >> how can you discuss the enemy hitting you, offering help. >> the russian jordanian understanding is of great importance. russia and jordan agrees on the need to keep syrian state institutions intact in final settlement. jordan has ties with the moderate rebels and defectors. russia would like to see reintegrated into the syrian army in the future. former deputy prime minister said iraq descended into chaos, when the army was dismantled after the 2003 u.s.-led invasion, and thinks russia will prevent a similar scenario to prevent the food hold. >> we would like to m

syria. which would start with imposing a no-fly zone over turkey -- sorry, over southern turkey, into syria, and then allow for the refugees in that area to have some safe space. but ultimately without the presence of ground -- little done to prevent isis from continuing its ability to adoap to air strikes. there is another country putting together a rapid air force, sunni arab countries in the thousands, with the help of the iraqi army, but that falls into the politics of the region. the broader politics of the region which is a major reason of paralysis when it comes with the big issue of syria. how much of the international community gets involve without ousting president assad and we now know because of support to the president as well as the iranian support and hezbollah fighters fighting on the ground that is not an easy thing to achieve and would only make the situation worse in terms of battlefield dynamics. >> all right. amann mohyeldin, thanks for joining me. >>> beirut expanding isis reach in syria and iraq. we ceil will see if we are seeing a fundamental shift in isis, next. (vo)

syria or speak to those on the front line on regular basis. in your column you speak about talking to the spokesman for the southern front of syria. had a conversation a few days ago. tell us about that. >> he talked about the situation on the ground and how his forces are secretly trained and supplied by the united states had been getting pounded by russian jets in a place called al-hora, southwestern syria near israel border. this is exactly the wrong thing for russians to do. this is example why their military intervention in syria is so dangerous. again the point i was trying to make was, there is a need to sort this out now with russians. the idea of this turning into afghanistan where russia is pounding islamic rebels, getting supported by the u.s., getting weapons from the u.s., that's recipe for conflict that i think neither russia nor the u.s. wants to see. jenna: but of course you heard the isolationist streak sometimes in discussions in various political parties about, listen if it is regional conflict, if it gets worse, it is regional conflict. maybe borders need to be redrawn. maybe the middle east emerges as somethin

incheweding that might have crossed into southern greece and joined these asylum-seekers from syria buthey didn't come in with rifles and weapons. they were already in place in paris. who to the them in place? the ones who were there already? where are those guys? to your point about are so-called friends who might be already, all every at globe, just providing network and these guys come to the network. >> this particular mastermind, headquartered out of belgium, there are others just like them. got to be some in america. we have to believe they're in places like washington, d.c. an new york city. that there are also stash houses. there are places where weapons are waiting for them. all you do show up here with the clothes on your back. you know what to do there. neil: a lot are young men, perfectly willing to die for the cause. an doctrine nated to fight for cause. hard to fight that. >> suicide vests they all blow them up. you're right, determined to die for the so-called cause. you have to stop them from getting to that point. i think that is the whole thing. that is really tough. o

refineries that are then sold around the islamic state's porous borders, including groups in syria, southernhere the islamic state has been known to sell oil at a steep discount there. >> who is it that -- what kind of -- we say it's middlemen. do we know more about the businesses that they run, that they want to buy this black market oil? >> well, i mean, you know, i think one thing that's important to note is that the islamic state is very diversified in terms of its revenue sources. so these middle men that are working with the islamic state are one potential source of revenue for the group. but there are actually many others, too, there are people selling antiquities, looting and resale of other kind of property. so the group is quite diversified in terms of revenue sources. >> one of the bigger purchasers supposedly are folks in turkey. is it involving the turkish government or is it private individuals? >> no, not officially involving the turkish government. this is something that's happening you know in a very sort of nonstate capacity in the territory towards south of turkey that the

syria's president. the bombings came at a time when the group stepped up the involvement in the war, mrauing a lead role in recent offenses. already hundreds of men from beirut's southern suburbs have been killed across the border in syria, and this is how many hezbollah's enemies are retaliating. thursday's bombings are described as the worst in years. the intention was to kill as many civilians as possible. the area that was targeted is a residential neighborhood and a busy market. the casualty toll could have been higher if the third attacker managed to detonate his explosives, but he died in the bombings. the bombs tore people's lives apart, and the fear now is a repeat of a series of attacks in 2013 and last year against targets linked to hezbollah. then, like now, the victims were civilians and then like now the mesage is the same. we will not back down. al jazeera, beirut. >>> the bodies of seven dead babies have been discovered at an apartment in germany. police say a woman close to the border with the czech republic found a body and then called emergency services. officers say they went -- they want to question a 45-year-old woman who used to life at that addr

tonight, it appears the conflict in syria is invading the southern suburbs of beirut. islamic state says it ordered the two suicide bombings that claimed at least 37 lives and injured more than 200 people on thursday. the shiite suburbs were targeted, but the message was meant for the militant group hezbollah, which is fighting alongside the assad regime. direct opponents of islamic state, hezbollah vows to continue to struggle saying, quote, "the fight is long between us." our correspondent, martin jay, is standing by for us in beirut. we are seeing islamic state now claim responsibility. what is your reaction? >> we have seen the reaction from islamic state in statements being made in the last 30 minutes or so. curiously, it does not make any mention of the war in syria, although we think -- we can assume that this longing has been an immediate reaction to the bigger picture in syria, hard-core sunni groups are on the back foot. they have warned on -- in the past there would be revenge for a number of battles. this sadly presents itself as an easy target for them. sa

syria. we have a team in jordan and another team in southern turkey. who in turn have local partners who work inside. so there are no americans or international staff inside syria. >> and are the workers inside, is it basically food and medicine? >> it's actually quite a bit more. food and medicine are a big part of it. but it's also helping to repair water systems. even schools. we train teachers and help rebuild things. sometimes it's an underground school, you know, that's safe. working, building capacity of local councils. we work with -- we've trained hundreds and hundreds of first responders who are like the fire department in a number of cities. inside syria, they've been a huge thing. they're independent. they're volunteers. but we provide them training and even equipment. we've given, you know, like fire trucks and things like that. >> terrific. >> so we do a variety of things inside syria. >> madame chair, may i ask another question or wait for another round? >> please, go ahead. thank you, ms. frankl. >> i'd like to just -- if you all have a

light of what happened in paris and that a lot of these -- at least two might have come from syria via southern greece in this refugee and we there were groups waiting for them in this case in paris. do you think we have the same sneer groups waiting or already -- >> i think we have -- i think we do have to worry about whether there are people who have been radicalized, who are already in this country, who may be in touch with people living overseas, living in syria, living in iraq, and i think that that's one of the challenges that the fbi and law enforcement faces, is trying to identify these people and monitor their actions, but i think there is a real risk that in effect you have sleeper cells in this country from not only isis but al qaeda as well. you talked about the online services are social metworking sites, twister, facebook, google and apple, snapchat, should be more forthcoming with unusual chatter at their sites and that they should be sharing this with security officials and not have to wait for a court order to do so? >> well, as i've said recently, think that the leaders of som

syria. sources are rolfed in a massive drill in southern europe. we have more from southern portugal. >> the weary match of those fleeing the fighting has convinced many nato members that something must be done about the war in syria. the battlefield that become more complex with the arrival of russia, testing the borders of nato member turkey while supporting the assad government. >> we are concerned about russian military and also about the violations of turkish air space. >> what are you prepared to do about it? >> as a general message, nato is already ready to protect against any threat and that of course also is valid for turkey. >> nato has used its most extensive war games in years to demonstrate the alliances strength and willingness to protect one of its own. for nato, this is an exercise in deterrence, but russia isn't playing games anymore. it's engaged in syria and as the secretary general notes, building up the presence in the black sea. >> the possibility looms of a catastrophic confrontation, but it is possible they could become part

already hundreds of men from beiruts southern suburbs have been killed across the border in syria and this is how many say hezbollahs enemies are retaliating. >> thursdays bombings are described as the worst in years. the intention was to kill as many civilians as possible. the area targeted is a residential neighborhood and a busy market. >> the casualty toll could have been higher if the third attacker had managed to debt nate its explosives, but he died in the bombings. the fear now is a repeat of attacks in 2013 and last year. then like now the victims were civilians and the message hezbollah is sending, we will not back down >>> indias prime minister is about to address an audience of over 60,000 people in londons wembley stadium. that's a small representation of the u.k.'s 1.5 million strong british-indian community. they're in for a big show featuring singers, dancers, and fireworks. we are live in wembley in northwest london. organizers said they could have sold this twice over. filled a stadium for 100,000 people or more. it's sounding a bit like a rock concert. what are we e

also we also believe that you can do another safe zone in the southern part, southwestern part of syriaear the jordanian border. you can protect these on the ground with international forces and from the air, and you can also use missile defense, tuck up the missiles from jordan and also from turkey close to their border to protect any air intrusion of those safe zones as well as you can fly patrols over them to protect them. that's very manpower intensive. we did that for almost 12 years in iraq in terms of providing an air capital over safe zones. so that's one of the things the united states military is, moves to very slowly because it is so manpower-intensive. but i do believe both of those safe zones would be an obvious refuge for people who are so burdened by this cats by that's happened in syria -- catastrophe that's happened in syria. jon: general, i know you have testified to congress half a dozen times this year, you did so again just this week. what do you say to the american people to reassure them about this sudden rise in, well, terrorism against soft targets? enter well,
