forces from syria and the next step is a constitution return of refugees. because section of syria. should. have a question and it's possible to all the ladies. could you tell about what you managed to agree on and. how long these attempts can go on on the story conciliation with your side and you know any of you in this situation any glimmer threatens a situation all over syria. and has been sat here. i am going to nose in a glib as a big number of the civilians i would definitely should bear it in mind as the first thing is the most important but at the same time we see what is going on there. earlier we contributed so that their radical elements including they represent this of the terrorist organizations which are recognized as such by un. leave different areas of syria to a glib. zone we agreed so that they will move to live with their weapons shooting weapons but the eclipse zone itself. and the heavy moments enough of heavy moments and a second there are also different groups managed to create there some non non manned flying objects and somehow they manage to get hold of spa

the war seventy percent of the war on syria and the destruction of syria so. now it has opened its border with syria eight hundred sixty kilometers border with syria to terrorist groups from all kinds of companies perhaps more than any. company with terrorists came into the door. and it was not a problem of syria so mr. primarily responsible for. what is going on in syria as far as the violence that has spread all over the company there was also that attack the groups of which they collected from the muslim world and non muslim order from europe as well. ship them to syria now they are scratching their head and they don't know exactly what the heck they are going to do like to do exactly know that they would be defeated yeah exactly they know that they would be defeated. ok. we're at we're getting close to the break and let me go to adel here adel i mean i think your point your first point is really is perfect is spot on is that the u.s. and its regional allies including syria they want to freeze the status quo when it comes to in the meantime i would point ou

the situation in syria. and its dimensions cannot be divorced from the battle raging between two camps on the world stage one of the camps promote peace stability and prosperity across the world two advocates for dialogue and mutual understanding respects international long and up the halt to the principle of number enter ference in the internal affairs of other states and while the other common tries to spread chaos in international relations. and insists on and poleon colonize ation and had the money. to further its narrow interests even if that meant resulting to a corrupt methods such as supporting terrorism and imposing an economic blockade were to subjugate the people and governments that reject external dictates and insist on making their own independent national decisions what happened in syria should've been l.s.a. to some countries. but. those countries that refuse to learn. he did with deaf ears as. they try to bury their heads. this is why ladies and gentlemen we the members of this organization

backed fighters in syria are right now pursuing their own and game against i.a.s. so we get into the action against i yes we get into the action with chemical weapons are involved but we don't do anything when barrel bombs fall when conventional weapons kill thousands and thousands of civilians so with symbolic western action here make it to your hypocrisy as you say it's a pure hypocrisy and i mean a shot of assad and his lies killed much more people using bombs then the two or three times which we suspected him having or having used chemical weapons i think it's the point is more about claiming more power. for germany and our set up also left on the line germany defense minister said that in april this year we are now trying to attain a permanent seat in the security council and the u.n. and. this puts us and front us new jobs on the international level and which means we might be able to join any military action in syria she said it like very frankly at the beginning of this year it's more about our interests and germany and in europe and i've often claiming mic

in syria. which is expanding the international community should come back so why design decision and six we should respect the efforts of these three countries to resolve the syrian crisis the coordination of cooperation by these three countries in order to bring about peace and stability in syria is going to continue thank you very much for the attention. cern rouhani the seventh president of iran wrapping up what he was saying with four main points point number one he said the integrity of syria should be respected the fight against what he called international terrorism should continue the return of refugees to their homes should be a priority for the international community and his fourth point was that the interference of the united states in syria should come to an end let me put in the russian president just beginning his address to assemble delegates let's listen in to what he has to say now want to stress that the decision of two previous some as of this days ago and this of there's no

after fighting terrorism we have to achieve other goals in syria. finalizing formating the finalizing a new constitution. and elections on the basis of new constitution return of refugees reconstruction of syria. democracy in syria are very important goals that we are following up and the first stage at lip stuff you freights is still to be completed we all should try to make sure that in the north off the east of your friends is untied. and we have to make the us. current events. and we have to resolve this solution in a way that we can also fight decisively against terror and also we should make sure that the people do not face any problem and the catastrophe is very important that we continue our cooperation. in any meeting before the summits our experts meetings are the lot of discussions both politically and also practically. monitoring the cease fire and direction of tension. after. meetings experts. are getting ready for future meetings so we hope that our liaison our cooperation our coordination among the three countries continue. for in ord

on syria and i was just disgusted you know. the reason why the meaning of the french the french said that russia's was the main responsibility for the possible humanitarian catastrophe. proms. syria france was never invited there it is a former colonial power the french killed hundreds of thousands of syrians in the plaintiff's aintree and now they say this is all the responsibility there was. a victorian law of herself who just recently said russia was never going to be america's friend you remember and now she says she's calling on russia in the end of her speech where quote in order to show walk with us walk with your no we're never going to be all friend but walk with us and let me decode that means listen to us and do what we say hear more that we have this not just a very important very quick the united states has been warned about bad consequences in syria new riyadh in mali the former prime minister of iraq said that the civil war would spread to iraq they said no and it it did spread their african union in libya the af

continues to support them but people on the ground do not want in northern syria in northeast syria they don't want to be ruled by. turkey. you know what would you call them they're all their assets ok and then at the same time they don't want to be ruled by these arab tribes that want to be ruled by the kurds so i mean it's kind of a hopeless situation there and then the u.s. is in the middle of a battle well when their u.s. moved in and when the destabilized situation in syria the destabilize the situation in iraq before consequences for unpredictable it's like starting a chain reaction you know and i'm not to ensure the united states is really guided by interests in this war situation because if we'll look at their resolves the results are abysmal for u.s. interests the united states failed to pull pull not even an anti west and president president assad was not anti western and mildly disagreeable he was called a reformer absolutely yes and the result is that they was they basically lost a very important ally which is much more important than syria in libya they moved in or gay they

a russian military plane shot down off the coast of syria killing fifteen russian defense ministry says israeli fighter jets of the intentionally drawing the fire a syrian air defenses directly at the doomed plane. leaving the region it's deliberately create a dangerous situation both the warships and located in that area of israel confirm strikes on syrian territory but insists syria iran and the armed group hezbollah are to blame for the downing of the russian jets. israeli army and russian president extend their condolences to the families of the plane's crew some of the remains along with personal belongings have been located in the mediterranean sea where the aisle twenty came down the search and rescue operation that is still on the way. good evening and thanks for joining us this is r.t. and tonight. israel is to blame for the downing of a russian military plane off the coast of syria that's according to the russian defense ministry claiming that the israeli air force used twenty years cover from syrian air defenses missiles from which the russian plane fifteen crew members died

that's thoughts maybe in syria about. we're not even america going through ukraine of course this is a few want to understand the complexity of the relationship between. the state of russia and. many thanks for your time my guest this evening abdul had that syrian right thank you. thank you for last night's incident was not the first time he's rayless been in action against syria. we went through the previous cases with our teeth and here is chewed. 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

syria which would allow civilians. refugees but also fighters to civilians to be resettled in fighters to regroup -- and this is what turkey dimond it all the time complete and out on this let down time and time again by his so called allies by us - so so no i don't think that- that it will -- we and you saw this with mac over the what i've seldom seen a like this all the time. we don't want to concede to total defeat and i think that's perfectly natural and and correct. a reaction it's too late really but it's the later never. is it though i mean it's not just purely symbolic send my cemex. and isn't there a level of hypocrisy here that we talk about intervening if their chemical weapons we are already the us backed fighters in syria a right now -- pursuing their own end game against i. s. so we get into the action against i. s. we get if the actual chemical weapons are involved. but we don't do anything when barrel bombs fall open conventional weapons kill thousands and thousands of civilians so with symbolic western

but you know i can tell you that most of people in syria are tired from the war so they. the syrian regime or maybe the war managed to let them reach a point way where they only think about their own survival so that they are really sad about what is going to happen in india but they don't think much about the about it because they are so consumed about their daily struggle to survive under a very bad economic situation even in the safe places of syria and maybe because they say they see no way out of this situation they're living in michel that is let me ask you about a potential way out the air attacks have actually let up in the last couple of days and this follows appeals by everybody from the u.n. secretary general to turkish president to one for russia and syria not to press ahead with an offensive is it possible that those appeals has been heard could a full out assault still be avoided for. difficult to say in theory yes the russians have made it clear that they want to eliminate all of these jihadi fighters in the region of it look so there's a strong likelihood

troops from both syria and iraq he has been increasing the numbers particularly in syria the number of u.s. troops now in syria are about three thousand troops and that is better yet expressed by the trump administration mr bolton and other than mr bolton that they want to attack syria based on the claim is that the whole new claim is of chemical weapon this is a farce. and mr trump clearly is into it so despite all the things he said that he doesn't want war it seems that the recent the policy of the united states is coming again to emphasize that the u.s. will stay in northern syria and this was said yesterday by the prompt administration that they were they are not going to withdraw from northern syria in fact the u.s. troops. which are located in about certain military camps and bases in northeastern syria east of the euphrates the area where is of the euphrates in syria is approximately. thirty to forty thousand square kilometer the end is smarter than three times bigger than my country levanon so and more than that this area is of those factors. to produce about three some of the

syria with its allies. well stay the course and keep moving forward and as i said the diplomat here is really russia and syria and its forces in contrast with that just one final comment here we saw a big contrast with that today at the united nations security council where the new united states special representative for syria james jeffrey basically threatened that there will be no peace in syria as long as it raining in forces or advisors are within syria so here they're threatening. to prolong and protests and continue the war on syria so that's a that's a clear but that kind of threat is a clear violation of the international the united nations charter itself pre-show you are into taishan events thanks for joining us rick rick's stillings my guest investigative journalist. last night's incident was not the first time israel has been in action against syria we discussed the previous cases with the david shooting. the reason why russia pointing the finger at the israelis is because of those past hostile

allow in the iranian presence in syria this is a red line. and the israelis made it clear also to the russians that. it's not acceptable for here and i think that it's very clear that even though there is a crisis between the israel and russia now because of this unfortunate accident i don't think that israel will store change its policy concerning the iranian. presence the military presence in syria there is if you're just joining us this is r.t. international this is our top story syrian forces have shot down a russian military plane killing all fifteen people on board but the russian military blames israel for using the plane as a cover while striking syrian government facilities here's how russia's defense ministry commented on the incident earlier today. on the seventeenth of september around ten pm when the boys ready find jets launched guided bombs on syrian military facilities in the city of latakia these ready jets were flying at a low altitude from the direction of the mediterranean sea these ready jets deliberately created a danger

iranian presence in syria is there for this is the reason of the israeli attacks in syria we don't have any problem with the rush to the syrian regime the problem is the the fact that bashar al assad they love your audience to establish their. military presence in syria and this is a red line. and the israelis made it clear also to the russians that. it's not acceptable for here and i think that it's very clear that even even though there is a crisis between israel and russia now because of this unfortunate accident i don't think that israel will stop. change its policy concerning the iranian in their presence the military presence in syria meanwhile the director of the no sauce think tank on a walk have told us that israel would prefer to call the downing of the plane an accident. 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 is reserve really calculating at the moment what the respo

is terms for him as to be hunted into syria. and basically using. these systems to syria it's so these systems are not going to be controlled by russians i just that's how i read the decision it means. indeed. israeli planes can be grounded because these systems are arguably much more sophisticated the ones that syrians used to be so deep or so for these strikes for easier will go and that's why either of those will come so under both of these terms for that it's not just the israeli aircraft that's helped orating in the syrian air space without them and they damn eric and said their to do thing they will play along with this russian late new order. well of course no one who. formerly recognize their legitimacy over there are some decision they would say well you know we don't bomb them to feel that we have to abide by the decisions made by most over even bugged by bashar assad and nobody your article turns but in practical terms stable taken notice i think that would mean that. they will need. different level of communications with the russians to

situations within syria including sells the west including. including what's going on to the east of the throat of syria were you know there are many many. regional situations we are. positions taken but all sides understand that there are limits and there are the lines of they cannot girls well mr carter now we have to leave it there but i really really appreciate you being with us today thank you thank you for inviting me thank you man carries around the years to keep this conversation going on our social media pages and i hope to hear. same place same time here and while the party. and democrats are not socially liberal they are pro-war and so are the republicans and the problem people have a trumpet studies. and that's not acceptable in america today that runs except for against iran. well you know the top talk because the walking the walk and you know you have to do it you have to do but he's not actively going down the path that hillary clinton clearly was going to. go you don't accept the slow drop the oldest was ready to be a little bi

syria to deal with and we'll talk about the as three hundred but that deal was made with a member of nato in russia without the united states involved that is something new we haven't seen something like that before so you even within the alliance the united states is not being able to control all of its members go ahead in new york . right preterperfect well i think that you that have taken place right now. or frankly anybody. they realize that international law or they are in that location so what the turks are worried about is are worried about the refugee frankly what do you when germany is worried about is worried about the rip. if this if you will war will not be and we're going to have a problem at the end of the day what we have why through syria the region has been changing that chapter is changing it's moving away from this new long seven year civil war into a period of people isolation and reconstruction that's what we're seeing come on corrupt what we're seeing in moscow and ron and frankly elsewhere there is think we want to be part of that future dialogue and that's why

you damn hands are in syria because syria is for them it's strategy. that they want to be there they need c.d.o. order to reach their lebanon hezbollah the border with israel the ied and hands are not going to be pushed out very easy but what the russian president said in the past there few months that all foreign forces should they leave. was received a very negative the integrand so. this is why i believe it was the from day one it was a big mistake by tehran for it to put all its eggs in the. in the russian side of the equation and consequently now they have to they have to reject it but what is important and if we make a connection between the recent incident and the past many years of nuthin negotiations russia has always used the daniel card to put pressure on the u.s. on europeans and get concessions from there and i believe they are going to do the same thousand ships on one hand the game is because of their isolation they need russia russian backing russian into the more than before and on the other hand they cannot do it completely go the way

it's freed from terrorist organizations the sooner you can have peace in syria and the people of syria very much in need of peace second point is the humanitarian situation in that you don't want to have a situation where seventy and source can't. miso the muster our. special representative of the united nations to syria had an interesting solution event he spoke at the united nations and that was separating the terrorist organizations from the population in fact he called for a campaign by the general public that lives in it. to force those who are going as asians out of the cities this could be an interesting solution ok and i think the third issue that we have to worry that we're about is syria is territorial integrity and if countries and parties to this conflict can agree on these three principles i think a lot of problems will bit off ok alexei i mean we don't know what might happen to law because there are no strong gallantries all the parties will agree about how to . and the war in syria so let's talk about all the possible scenarios scenario number one no political agreement

in the syrian skies and near or above their russian positions in syria but of course. interested in finishing this crisis as soon as possible. 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 ha

claims back most of the territory in syria. would you still continue the fight first or workforce or for those who live in they will for sure not feel saved because many of them are wanted for the regime even if the regime has been able to take over at. risk there's an end there is begins for many are for that because there will be either arrested or killed at a later stage as for those who live outside of syria many people said publicly they we will not be able to go back as refugees for many reasons first because we are scared of what might their resume do and second because there is no options for us to go back to it meaning that there is no jobs their houses most of them are destroyed and many of the areas where they come from are completely empty n.b.c. is right now still by their by the regime like dariya close to damascus so the conditions for their return. don't exist and this is why many people feel that this will be just another basically ph that they have to turn their suffer will continue for their suffering will co

syria to deal with and we'll talk about the as three hundreds but that deal was made with a member of nato and russia without the united states involved that is something new we haven't seen something like that before so you even within the alliance the united states is not being able to control all of its members go ahead in new york . right peter first of all i think the deal that have taken place right now if you look at much of the article on or frankly anybody else need to be gen they realize that by that if an international person at the end of the day is local they are in that location so what the turks are worried about is they're worried about the refugees frankly what even germany is worried about is worried about the refugees and. if this if you will war will not be and we're going to have a problem at the end of the day what we have to realize that through syria the jew politics of the region has been changing the chapter is changing it's moving away from this new long seven year civil war into a period of hope for the people like nation and reconstruction in data what we'

a vision for the game on in syria now. but you know russia would like to keep the partnership with turkey she's a very careful about and she use you want to get turkey you know some space between nato and turkey or this sense of. this supporting to do you know in diplomatic manner an economical matter and you have this four hundred and this the the military aid which like to support. but as iran iran would like also to get this area back because this base their base is there a cetera so i think there they have some understanding and the future of what's going to happen but that's all been doing concerning the reconstruction of cd and we have believed ation of c.d.'s and retaining of refugee and how come this supports of such a brutal regime to kill this people back again this is the problem and i don't think the european or other nation would support said or russia and russia doesn't have that its sources to build syria again and she's in deep trouble now with that's what will sort of take. you know drain resources and c.d

positive role in syria's north in goal and highs. so that might be an option now an important player here is iran and the turkish iranian relationship is just as complicated if not more than the turkish russia relationship it was interesting that president on referred to president rouhani eskies brother during the summit but surely you would agree that these brotherhood is not without its complications what is the rainy and short term and perhaps medium term objective in the bleep i think is iran who is in the is in the best position because i mean he sees his two friends going over no struggling are good and he's like you know staying a sign of the i mean i think you're watching i was right right right and that but it was a monkey but. iran has secured his presence in syria i mean one hundred percent the only question is that what will be the degree overrun in military press and or konami presence in syria so for iran it's not really a. priority to see what happens with it but on the long run of course it's in iran's interest that d

you damn hands are in syria because syria is for them it's strategy. that they want to be there they need c.d.o. order to reach their lebanon hezbollah the border with israel the event hands are not going to be pushed out very easy but what the russian president said in the past there few months that all foreign forces should believe. was received a very negativity in tehran so. this is why i believe it was the from day one it was a big mistake by tehran for it to put all its eggs in the. in the russian side of the equation and consequently now that they have to they have to reject it but what is important and if we make a connection between the recent incident and the past many years of nuthin negotiations russia has always used the daniel card to put pressure on the u.s. on europeans and get concessions from there and i believe they are going to do the same thousand ships on one hand the game is because of their isolation they need russia russia is backing russian. more than before and on the other hand they cannot. completely go the way that the rus

situation inside syria for us from ray hanley that's on the techie syria border stephanie we've heard warnings of a bloodbath of a humanitarian catastrophe in a live province if this expected government offensive where to go ahead you're not far from a lead province tell us about the current situation there and just how worried people are about this possible onslaught. extremely concerned filey and you know a lot of these people as we've been reporting and everyone's been saying of in displays throughout the years of this conflict from playing. to place ending up right behind me that's the biggest come for the internally displaced inside syria that is around eight hundred thousand people so people are exhausted people are destroyed they want the war to end but the problem with that is that you know they don't trust the syrian government that if they do take charge of where they are that there are repercussions and of course is a huge concern of military action when it comes to civilian populated areas like the big cities i think reading between the lines of this conference is dangerou

you damn hands are in syria because syria is for them it's strategy. that they want to be there they need c.d.o. order to reach their lebanon hezbollah the border israel the hands are not going to be pushed out very easy but what the russian president said in the past there few months that all foreign forces should believe. was received a very negative the integrand so. this is why i believe it was the from day one it was a big mistake by tehran for it to put all its eggs in the. in the russian side of the equation and consequently now that they have to they have to reject it but what is important and if we make a connection between the recent incident and the past many years of nuthin negotiations russia has always used the daniel court to put pressure on the u.s. on europeans and get concessions from there and i believe they are going to do the same thousand ships on one hand the game is because of their isolation they need russia russia is backing russian. more than before and on the other hand they cannot. completely go do wait that the russians do

well the israeli regime carries out regular attacks on syria with impunity in order to. intimidate the country they've been in the past whenever the syrian government to keep the country weak in the past whenever the syrian government would make advances towards nostra front al-qaeda and near the golan heights which the israelis occupy illegally this release would attack syrian arab army positions they would kill syrian soldiers to protect al-qaeda whenever they would make advances on isis positions which were on the corner between israeli troops jordan and syria again there's where the regime would attack syrian government positions so this was basically to keep syria weak the objective of the regime in tel aviv is to keep all of its neighbors weaken and fable in order so that it can dominate its surrounding territory so just as they've been supporting the extremist groups in syria to keep syria weak these airstrikes that they've been carrying out have the same intention but the problem is is that people like netanyahu who are foolish and arrogant sort of like trump and
