some we are very happy about the shirt not necessarily many catalans or basques are happy because at the end of the day it is still a spanish like but it pays tribute to those who came with the international brigade to fight against fascism and we are obviously grateful for that. now unless you're a baseball fan you might not know what a cycle is but i'll give you a clue it's not a bike but it is quite rare unless you are a christian yell h. of the milwaukee brewers here he is waiting for the cycle against the cincinnati reds that involves hitting a single a double a triple and a homerun that was the single getting to first base he later got a double in the inverse homerun leaving just the triple to get and he got it in the sixth inning becoming the first major league it's a hit for the cycle against the same team in one season the brewers won eight nothing as well and it's been substituted to a standing ovation. well after afghanistan eliminated sri lanka from the asian cup hong kong eyeing a giant killing field of their own they're facing india in dubai in a group

solution. trafficking on al-jazeera. al-jazeera. you read every your. russia says one of its military planes is being shot down by syrian forces killing fifteen servicemen that blames israel for the incident.

hello again i'm without is there live from doha coming up thank you i. will smiles in pyongyang as the north korean leader lays out the red carpet for the south korean president. china announces your talent retiring self to the u.s. targets chinese imports with two hundred billion dollars. trouble in paradise the moodies government is accused of corruption following an al-jazeera investigation. the russian president vladimir putin has moved to calm tensions after accusations and blame over the downing of a russian military plane off the syrian coast he says a tragic chain of circumstances led to the incident fifteen servicemen died in the

aircraft after it was hit by syrian air defenses israeli jets were attacking government installations on the ground israel blamed inaccurate syrian file while the russian defense ministry said israel deliberately deliberately put the plane into the line of. the israeli pilots were using the russian aircraft as a shield and pushed it into the law in a fire of the syrian defenses as a result of the aircraft which has a much more effective reflecting surface than the israeli jets was brought down by the missile defense system israeli aviation management on the pilots of the f. sixteen jets most have seen the russian aircraft as it was landing from the five kilometers however they have done a provocation deliberately. now a recovery operation in the area of the crash is on their way we regard these provocative actions of israel as hostile as a result of the irresponsible actions of the israeli military fifteen russian servicemen died it is absolutely not in keeping with the spirit of russia israeli

partnership we reserve the right to make an appropriate response well now from our correspondent allan. russia's defense ministry has responded angrily to the loss of this plane it's called israel's actions irresponsible and provocative and hostile what the ministry of defense says is that they were only given one minutes of warning from the israelis about these impending air strikes and as a consequence fifteen russian military personnel lost their lives they say essentially that the israeli jets use the ill twenty electronic surveillance plane has a shield from syria's anti aircraft units and therefore the israeli jets protect themselves from the the russian plane was lost the search and rescue operation is found the crash site some thirty kilometers off the syrian

coast they found bodies and personal effects and wreckage from the plane the consequence of all of this is that show you the russian defense ministry has spoken on the telephone expressing his anger to israeli counterpart avigdor lieberman also the israeli ambassador here gary coren has been summons to the ministry of foreign affairs however we have seen a different tone being taken from the kremlin a different tone being taken by vladimir putin who has just called this. a tragic chain of events and doesn't want it to be compared to the incidents some years ago where turkey shot down a russian jet that suggest that brought me putin keeping his eye on the broader architecture of the russia israel relationship doesn't want to escalate this further and he's choosing slightly more measured language suggesting he thinks that

things have worked pretty well with israel up until this point and he views this as a kind of temporary blip and he wants to move on. all right we can now go live to occupy the streets and speak to our correspondent there imran khan the statement coming out from the israeli military iran is also echoing that that tone of containment and slightly conciliatory tone insofar as they regretted the incident. that's absolutely right it's a very unusual statement to come so quickly after the incident took place and it seems that it feels like according to people i spoken to in military circles who say military analysts circles i should say rather who say that they. and the russians are both trying to draw a diplomatic line under the ensign let me just read you from the statement you like you say it is expressing regret but there is a lot of anger in this statement as well firstly it says israel expresses sorrow

for the death of achree members of the russian plane that was down tonight due to syrian anti-aircraft fire however it goes on to say israel holds the asaad regime whose military shot down a russian plane fully responsible for this incident israel also holds iran and hezbollah terror organization accountable for this unfortunate incident so they also say they want to say that they are investigating the incident initial. incident investigation rather says extensive and inaccurate syrian anti-aircraft fire caused the russian plane to be hit and downed and when the syrian army launched syrian army launched missiles and hit the russian plane israeli effulgence were already within israeli headspace so they don't playing the fact that the russians are blaming israel for all this but they are saying that this is squarely on the shoulders of not just syria but iran and hezbollah as well so they're ratcheting up tensions with the syrian regime and with iran with hezbollah

maintaining a conciliatory regretful tone towards the russians and why is that is because since two thousand and fifteen they've had the russians and the israelis an agreement that the confliction agreement which they say is working and perhaps that's much more crucial to them than any kind of escalation of the conflict between those two parties russia and israel all right so iran can talk you very much indeed two hundred live from occupied east jerusalem now let's go straight to new york this is the scene at the security council where the member states the fifty. member states are gathering they're awaiting a briefing from de mistura the u.n. special envoy to syria as well as mark lane the head of the emergences at the u.n. so this is a regular briefing session but we're going to be dipping in and listening to what mr davis stewart has to say because this is of course quite an important moment again in that terrible war in syria now the north korean leader kim jong

il in the says he wants to produce a big outcome during three days of talks with the south korean president in this is the first time a south korean leader has gone to pyongyang in more than a decade kim jong intreated moon jay into a special concert after spending the day talking about north korea's nuclear program from a bride rickles now from the south korean capital seoul. if talks over north korea's nuclear stockpile were in trouble you wouldn't know it from the smiles and hugs. the third meeting between north korea's kim jong un and monday end of south korea and the warmest so far. a full on a guard and equal prominence given to the flags of north korea and the blue flag of a reunified korean peninsula. the last meeting between these two men led to the historic summit between him and u.s.

president donald trump but moon knows this visit must deliver some evidence of north korea's commitments to denuclearize ation if talks with the u.s. arteries you they want perhaps a disclosure of inventory facilities and this is the kind of thing that morning he needs to get teams on to come out and say when the two leaders arrived at the state guesthouse they seem to accept the strength of the welcome is evidence of a growing desire for change. even the people in the apartment behind us they welcomed us with such passion i was genuinely touched. when i think we should not forget the people's hopes and expectations but have to work at a faster pace and make bigger achievements. the first into korean summit between these leaders was at the panmunjom truce village on the border between the two neighbors in april it's produced tangible results reunions of families separated by

the korean war in the one nine hundred fifty s. have restarted. the remains of more than fifty u.s. soldiers killed in the war have been returned by north korea. and the liaison office to keep officials from the north and south connected. but the last visit to pyongyang by a south korean president was by roh moo hyun eleven years ago and that attempt at reconciliation would ultimately fail. south korea says this time it's different. for the first time key moments from this summit are being beamed live into north korean homes it's one of the ways this summit differs from those of the past say south korean officials who are also hoping this one can succeed where others have failed. but critics believe the nuclear concessions the u.s. wants and what north korea is prepared to give may be too great even for the

smiling president mood to deliver mosconi sitting on the stockpile of the nuclear weapons would like to me mice is the amount of sings they will have to surrender to placate dormant prop this has been an impressive display of friendship after so much animosity yet it remains to be seen how much of this is just show and how much is of consequence of macbride al jazeera so. the saudi m.r.v. coalition says it's launched a large scale operation targeting areas under control in her day there in yemen the alliance says it captured two areas on the outskirts of the port city since the advance began on tuesday the coalition says it also cut a healthy supply route which connects who data with the capital for. meanwhile the united nations envoy to yemen martin griffith has left the capital

after a two day visit involving talks with the three leaders mr griffith meeting for you could focus on trying to resurrect consultations between the government and toothy rebels. so that's the scene at the u.n. security council in new york that is stephan davis store of the special envoy to syria we're going to listen to him now developments on it live. they are important. you know italy best being a major source of concern for all of us everyone in iran this chamber and beyond but yesterday the russian president putin and the president of turkey president again reached a agreement to establish a did militarized zone within the. the government of syria is welcome the agreement we saw it recently and to confirm the full

coordination on this with the russian federation we welcome and secretariat and i think think the general will have to.
