Washington. With we have the chief White House Correspondent jim acosta standing by and the chief National Correspondent john king and our chief National Security correspondent jim sciutto, and our chief interNational Correspondent christiane amanpour. And i will get to you in a moment, jim and john, but lets talk to christiane. It is the first time that a f16 plane blocking turkey has shot down a russian warplane, and this is representing a serious problem. I want you to listen to what the president had to say urging everyone to avoid any escalation. Turkey like every country has a right to defend its territory and air space. I think it is very important for us right now to make sure that both the russians and the turks are talking to each other to find out exactly what happened and take measures to discourage any kind of escalation. I do think that this points to a ongoing problem with the russian operations. In the sense that they are operating very close to the Turkish Border and they are going after the moderate opposition supported by not only turkey, but a wide range of countries. If russia is directing its energies towards daesh and isille, some isil some of the conflicts or potentials for mistakes or escalation are less likely to occur. Christiane hold on one mom t moment, because jim acosta is in the east room of the white house where the News Conference just took place. And jim, the president is clearly underscoring what is a complicated situation to even becoming much more complicated and even more dangerous right now in the aftermath of the turkish downing of the the russian downing of the turkish airplane. And when the president was asked if the russian airplane was in turkeys air space and shot down, and they said they have not received all of the facts. It highlights why they are going after isis, and you have different characters carrying out different goals, and the coalition going after isis, and the understanding of the white house and russia going after e isis and also going after forces against Bashar Al Assad, and it highlights the whole episode. B but it is clear in listening to the president barack obama and president Francois Hollande, they are clearly on the same page. And Francois Hollande said that he did not plan to go on the ground in syria, which gives the president here some breathing room, because it is pressure from washington here to put forces on the ground the root isis out of raqqa, and so the president got some breathing room from Francois Hollande, but you can know that he said that france ap preeshapreciates all emotion and compassion, but we must act. It sounds like russia and Vladimir Putin is such a problem for the u. S. Led coalition that hollande is now going to moscow la later this week and not only on his behalf, but president obamas behalf to implore Vladimir Putin to get on the same page of the coalition and going after isis. We saw some hope for that when the president met with Vladimir Putin in turkey last week. He may need Francois Hollandes help to get Vladimir Putin on the same page, and he is not there yet, and you can hear from this press conference that the president is still very much frustrated with Vladimir Putin. And we know that the president of france will be in moscow pleating with the russian president aVladimir Putin and they have to deescalate what is clearly a dangerous situation right now. And that is the immediate situation, and nato is meeting in brussels in the current moment right now in a couple of hours, and obviously, they want to make sure that there is no es kalation, and that russian does not retaliate. And we wonder whether the statements from both president s were significantly in the turkey nato members favor in order to deter the russian retaliation. That is one issue. And then the other issue as jim said that the president hollande said that in syria, he would not put any boots on the ground, but he said that there needs to be a closure of the syria turkey border, and that coupled with president obamas comments about how russia is acting too close to the turkey border, and theres no known isis in certainly in the area that russian plane was today, a implying that russia is going off after the wrong targets to bolster the assad, there is a sense that hollande is apparently talking about the nofly zone, and other former nato officials have said that along the syria turkey border if there was a nofly zone, it would stop this business of the incursions into the turkish air space, and plus protect the civili civilians, and allow the boots on the ground, the ones they want, the boots on the ground that they want to train and stay. That is interesting to see ow that pans out. Both leaders were very clear to say that they should not be confusing refugees and immigr t immigrants with terrorists. They laid that out categorically despite the fact that a few of the slaughterists in paris had infiltrated illegally the refugees coming in. And so it is interesting, and hollande said that the recentlypassed u. N. Security Council Resolution unanimously passed which means including china and russia gives the coalition the authority to act. And what is the coalition . Because there are two coalitions, russia on one side and the u. S. Are Led Coalition on the other side. And that is the challenge to make one coalition or one coordinated intervention in trying to defeat isis. Standby, christiane. John king, as this is happening along the Turkish Border with which is very serious at the same time that the manhunt continues, and the investigation continuing in france and belgium, and president obama also spoke to the American People about the upcoming thanksgiving holiday and the threats of isis plots here, and he is walking a delicate tight rope, because on one hand he wants everybody to be prepared and on the other hand, he doesnt want people to overreact and get overly nervous about the situation. And wolf, frankly, he does not want them to listen to criticism playing out as we have to acknowledge that we are in, i would say early stages, but the mild stages of the president ial Campaign Many this country right now, and the president saying at one point, we must uphold the ideals now, and we must uphold the ideals now, and saying dont get prejudiced against the Syrian Refugees and the muslims, and dont listen to political can rhetoric of monitoring the the mosques or shutting down the refugee program, and the president trying to get the american americans to rally to the security questions before us, but as he made the case give into the terrorists by accepting fear and discrimination and prejudice. And as the two leaders were trying to make the case, wolf, as you heard, a sobber asse assessment from both of them. We have been talking to putin about this for years, and trying to get the turks to do something for months if not longer, and you heard how complicated and difficult it is from the policy perspective and the president is candid that he knows that as he faces pressure here at home, and he tries to step up and do more in cooperation with the french and others he is doing so in an ugly political environment here at home. And yes sh, is it is a very y tense political environment here in the United States. Jim sciutto, the suspicion is that the turks shot down this russian warplane, this airplane because in part they suspected that the russians were targeting their turkish allies inside of the Bashar Al Assad rejeem, and that is why they didnt want the russians to hit the turkmen inside of syria. What is the analysis of that . Well, this is a reminder that you have 27 different oparticipa oparticipants in france in this war on the ground in syria right now, including the international component. You start with russia with its own objectives, and you have the west, and the u. S. Led coalition with its own objectives focused on the isis, and russians focused on assad, and so then you have the turks who are being accu accused of being less than aggressive to stop the flow of fighters across the zones, and christiane mentions the nofly zone, but there is a problem of the border being so porous, and frankly accusations from turkey from all sides, and Vladimir Putin calling turkey in his words accomplices with the terrorist, and that is a sense of how many side s s to the conflict. That is one thing that the u. S. Is worried about with russia getting in there and not just deconfliction in the air, but the number of forces on the ground facing up against each other. That is complicated. You will hear from the president though, and it is interesting, because you have russia have a plane shot down and possibly lose one of the pilots, but president coming to the defense of the nato allies saying that turkey has a right to defend the air space, and then immediately pifting to say it is part of the ongoing problem with russians military involvement in syria, and the message is clear there that, hey, russia, you are playing this this very crowded playing field. It is dangerous in there which is a tough message. I will say this, and he says that turkey has a right to the defend the air space. And russian warplanes have been buzzing not just turkish air space, but european and u. S. Air spa space, and in effect, it is not a threat, but it is a reminder that the u. S. Takes that threat very seriously as does nato, and that reminds you that, heck, you have deconfliction between the u. S. And the russian warplanes in there, but they are flying very close, and that is something that the defense Officials Say to me is real, and they want to the avoid having a deadly conflict in the air, and certainly between the u. S. And russia yes, and when you have u. S. F16 airplanes flown by the turkish fighter pilots, and then also, other airplanes flown by russian pilots, and flown very close on that bord, and we shall know soon if the russian airplanes were in turkish air space or if they were in the syrian air space, we will know it soon enough where where those plane planes were, and obviously a clearly dangerous situation. Guys, stand by. We have much more coming up, including the more of the fallout of the downing of the russian fighter jet and what happened to the pilots seen parachuting from the burning plane.

Call now lets get more of the breaking news out of turkey are where a russian fighter jet was shot down along the border of syria. There is dramatic video of the incident allegedly showing the two russian pilots shot at in the sky after ejecting from the plane. Watch this. Apparently Syrian Rebels of the regime of Bashar Al Assad said, dont shoot at them, capture them alive, oufr, the fate of the two pilots is unknown. Turkey says that the jet was shot down after it ip vaded turkish air space after several warnings, but russia says that the jet was flying over syria and not turkey. And we have Important Development developments with Nick Paton Walsh in istanbul, and we also have our military analyst Mark Hertling is joining us. And now, mark, they are saying they had every right to shoot down this s24 they have said it very straight forward that under the rule rules of engagement they saw a russian aircraft entering the air space, and they showed a map that it was shown to be flying through, and they gave ten separate warnings, and then their f16 shot down the aircraft. That video there you can see the two pilots ejecting and the scenes on the ground which are turkmen and Syrian Rebels there, and explaining why they are talking turkish firing at it, and saying, yes, take one of them live maybe for the prisoner exchange, but we do know that on the russian state tv that russian sources are saying that one of the pilots was in fact killed from fire from the ground as well. So a potential first admission of a death here. That will escalate the tension over this, but turkeys Prime Minister very clear that turkey will take all kinds of measures to defend its borders. This is not the first time it has happened. Back in late september when russian air strikes first began, there were a number of supposed violations that turkey registered, and they began to talk to the russian officials here and inin anchokara as well now, we have seen it again. And now, equating a general of the staff of the russian command saying that in fact syrian control telling them on their radar it is a Turkish Aircraft that violated their air space, so it is something that we will see back and forth in the days ahead, and no doubt it seems from the russian plane, one of those pilots have now lost their life. And now, matthew, you have been hearing them call this downing a stab in the back, and the foreign minister has cancelled a trip to turkey, and he is supposed to be there tomorr tomorrow, and what other reaction are you picking up there in moscow . Well, the russians are absolutely besides themselves with fury that this has taken pla place. They have potentially lost two pies and lost the plane, and the first casualties of their campaign inside of syria. So it is a huge blow, and the fact that the plane was shot out of the sky by turkish f16 has come as a real insult to the russian russians. Vladimir putin saying it is a stab in the back of the accomplices of terrorist, and accusing the turks to be behind isis on the ground, and the rebel groups, and that is an accusation leveled against turkey in the past. They have also rejected out of hand this allegation, this claim, this account by the turks that this russian plane violated turkish air space. They are saying that all of the time it was flying the my it did so inside of syrian air space. It says it has data to demonstrate that, although it has not made the data public u unlike unlike the turks who released the radar maps of the routes they say that plane took. So this incident is going to have a serious impact on the relations between russia and turkey, and already the diplomatic issue has come up, with Prime Minister lavrov who will no longer make his trip to turkey tomorrow. And so now, others saying, we wont back it up and no more recommending the package to turkey anymore and the flow of tourist tourists, there and you are getting the sense that the russians are working out the response and what it can be. General hertling, if the turkmen rebels allied with turkey inside of syria, were shooting at the two pilots as they ejected from the su24 warplane, there is already some suggestion that it is a criminal act if not a war, a crime against a war crime, if you will, if you are shooting at parachuting pilots. You have served in europe and commanded these kinds of positions, and this is clearly a tense situation. Is that in fact a war crime to shoot at ejecting pie lots . Yes, it is a violation of the law of the land combat, and if someone is parachuting or unarmed at the timef of an attack like this. And again, this is one of those kinds of things that i think that will infuriate the russian president as much if not even more than the shooting down of the aircraft is this shooting by the turkmen if that is in fact who is conducting that attack against the pilots who were parachuting are from the aircraft. All of the things said, this is coming during a time when there appeared to be a glimmer of increased cooperation by russia with the other coalition forces, and this is just not coming at a very good time. But again, as the president said, we have to look at all of the details. I am is sure that almost certain probably an awax plane overhead, because that is attempting to contribute to the deconfliction of the Coalition Aircraft and the russian and the syrian aircraft flying in support of mr. Assad, and that is what russia wanted. They did not want cooperation in the air space, but deconfliction, and there have been multiple occurrences as jim sciutto mentioned earlier of russian planes flying in turkish air space, and even a mig harassing turkish pilots and then going back into their air space. So the turks had been making multiple warnings of russia to stay out of the air space, and this is an indicator when russia is tweaking the nose at the nato alliance. And if there was a u. S. Or aerial surveillance plan in the area, we will all know spe
