Russias president Vladimir Putin is accusing turkey of shooting down a russian jet to protect Oil Smuggling routes. He says that oil produced by i isil is entering turkey on an industrial scale. Translator we have now received Additional Information that oil produced in territory controlled by isil and other terrorist organizations and in huge quantities on an industrial scale is being supplied to the territory of turkey. And we have every reason to believe that the decision on whether to shoot down our plane was dictated by the desire to insure the safety of these oil supply routes to turkish territory. Turkey denies any involvement in snuggling oil. It says it shot down the russian jet because it violate the its airspace, turkeys Prime Minister has refuse today apologies for threrefused toapot does suppress yes get. The incident does not rest by turkey. We have no intention to escalate that situation, we are ready to talk at of level in order to prevent further similar excuses. On turkeys syrian border. Not the border of any other country. The u. S. Government says that it can confirm that the russian jet did enter turkish airspace before being shot down. We have more from brussels. Reporter these comments by the u. S. Ambassador at natos headquarters in brussel are really the first time that an american official has gone on the record and so explicitly stated that the u. S. Has data backing up turkeys version of events on november 24th. Saying that the russian plane had in fact entered turkish airspace, until now they hadnt been so forth right although they offered, of course, turkey their full support just before the u. S.

Russias air force chief said those responsible for his death will get the punishment they deserve. David cameron says he will call a oneday debate. He needs parliamentary approval to extends military action from iraq to syria. I believe there is growing support across parliament for the compelling case there is to answer the call from our allies to act against ice nil syria and iraq. The Head Quarters in many ways of the terrorist actually is in syria and it makes no sense to recognize this border in the action we take when isil themselves dont recognize this border. So its in the national interest, its the right thing to do. Well be acting with our allies, well be careful and responsible as we do so.

They say this operation had a breakthrough on thursday which they took the key palestine bridge it was a connecting supply route between rah mad and i fallujah to isils strong hold. They have imagine today take that bridge and that means that isil are effectively cut in to two and cannot reinforce their fighters in ramadi. So now what the iraqi Security Forces are doing is going in to neighborhoods very slowly and methodically to try to clear the neighborhoods of isil fighters. Now, this operation has long been stalled. Its been nearly a year in the making. Prime minister abadi has blamed everything from the heat to the lack of u. S. Led coalition airstrikes. Those airstrikes have been key in recent days, however, they have weakened isil forces and allowed iraqi Security Forces to go in. What we are also being told is that any civilians still trapped in ramadi are able to leave as long as they wave white flag. We havent seen any pictures of anyone waving white flags nor reports of civilians being able to leave. If rah maim mad is a take ramadt few days it will be seen as a big victory.
