Im del walters. And it crossed in the air space and issued a number of warnings and moscow says it can prove they stayed over the skies of syria and we will have more but first to moscow and rory challenge and how is russia reacting to this latest news . Well, the russians choosing their words very carefully. Its interesting listening to what they have been saying over the last couple hours or so. The official response has come from first the Defense Ministry and then the kremlin. What they have been saying first of all is as you have just mentioned that this plane according to the russians never left is syrian air space.

We would just like to go to our experts who began speaking. I should note that at the bar principle discussions here today, speaking from papers they will be presenting early in the new year so you are getting a prepublication. Ambassador hoff if you would like to begin. Thank you frank. This is the paper to which frank refers will be published to think in the new year. It rests basically on five assumptions.
