Obama and Hollande vow to relentlessly fight ISIS

Speaking today from Washington, French President Francois Hollande and US President Barack Obama vowed to go after the Islamic State with relentless determination, broadening the coalition's air campaign, with a focus on taking out key parts of ISIS' economic infrastructure.

The leaders also championed the need to increase information sharing among the nations fighting the militant group, and asked the EU to pass a bill allowing airlines to share information about passengers.

Regarding a Russian plane shot down early Tuesday that was allegedly in violation of Turkey's airspace, the leaders urged Russian President Vladimir Putin not to escalate the situation.

Mr. Hollande and Mr. Obama both said Moscow is welcomed to join the fight against ISIS, so long as the country restricts its airstrikes to ISIS targets, and supports a political transition in Syria that takes Bashar Al-Assad out of power.

Ahead of talks with Mr. Putin Thursday, speaking through a translator, Francois Holland said all countries are welcome to join the fight:

PUTIN: JET DOWNING A 'STAB IN THE BACK'

Russian President Vladimir Putin says the downing of a Russian plane by Turkey is a 'stab in the back'.

NATO has called an extraordinary meeting (Tuesday 16GMT) to discuss the incident along the Turkey-Syria border.
 
Moscow says the Su-24 crashed on the Syrian side of the border, and denies it had violated Turkish airspace.

Both pilots ejected from the plane, but Syrian rebel forces say at least one of them is dead.

Russia began air strikes in Syria in late September and has been accused by western powers of supporting the government of Bashar al Assad rather than prioritising the targeting of Islamic State militants.
