their expert will take the stand and the state psychologist will be able to take the stand to rebut all that. they assess jerry sandusky yesterday. duelling psychologists on jerry sandusky. >> we'll check in with you tomorrow. thank you. now, roll it. hour two here. unfolding this second, syria expected to be big issue here when president obama and russian president sit down here for this meeting face-to-face. they are in mexico at that g-20 summit. i want to go to our white house correspondent who is covering that and other things there. tell me about this meeting. do we have a read out yet? was it long, short?

>> reporter: the meeting lasted for two hours. we believe they were having their discussion throughout that two-hour period. we are getting a short read out of what they discussed. obviously, they discussed syria. they talked about a need to come up with some kind of solution to end the violence and prevent a civil war. in addition to that they said they wanted to work to find a solution. that was important as well. we expect to get a lot more on what took place at that meeting. russia has vetoed two u.n. resolution sanctions against syria. unwilling to use that tough language to call for him to step aside. the u.s. is trying to prod russia into embracing a kind of yemen solution where a leader steps aside, the violence ends

and there's some reform to democracy. that's the latest here. we expect to get a lot more on what they discussed. >> absolutely. we'd lof to hear about it. i want to keep talking syria. we heard from senator john mccain. he is talking about the growing bloodshed inside syria. he's making serious claims about outside help for the government there. we spoke just a little while ago in washington. i want to go straight to the pentagon. barbara, what was the senator saying? i know he's talking about the ship heading toward syria. who was on the ship? >> good afternoon. he is talking about some russian ships believed to be headed for syria. several ships that u.s. intelligence is watching carefully. getting some stability into is situation is vital.

listen to what senator john mccain had to say about this. >> now we hear reports today of actually russian troops being possibly moved in to syria versus people who are basically without any real means to defend themselves. it's not fair fight. it's not a civil war because all the military strength is on one side and not the other. at least we ought to give them a chance to have a fair fight. >> there is a russian ship that the u.s. is watching carefully. it's in a black sea port in russia by all accounts, but they believe it's been loaded up with a number of weapons. several sources tell us a small number of troops. nobody believes here that they are russian combat troops. they believe a small number of troops to reenforce a russian facility in syria.

they are watching another ship that has russian helicopters on board. they plooef they succeeded in getting that ship stopped by cancelling its maritime insurance. it will have to turn around and go home. all of this in play, a number of things being watched. the bottom thing there's a growing feeling that the violence in syria escalating and the russian card is going to be very important here, brooke. >> you mentioned u.s. intelligence watching the ship closely. we'll continue following your report. thank you so much. to greece. greek voters have sent a signal that they are upset, but maybe not yet ready to chuck the euro. they're still in this huge mess, but they don't have a government. the center right party that finished first in election sunday is now trying to piece together this governing coalition to keep things from going off the rails there. richard quest like for us in h

athens. explain what's at stake for the united states as the greeks are trying to put together this government. >> reporter: i think it's simple what's at stake for the u.s. it's the lack of confidence that happens in greece falters. this country alone is not going to bring down the united states economy or the european economy. if the greek economy faulters, then that will have a contagion effect in spain, italy. it will have a serious effect elsewhere in the euro zone. that is the link to the rest of the world because as europe would then falter and since europe is the u.s.'s single trading partner, you can see where this goes. you are classically looking at dominos falling. >> one of those dominos as you mentioned in spain. i'll ask you about that in a moment.

conventional wisdom aside. it's not their fault. it's the eu's fault. it's the german's fault. can you explain that logic and is that accurate? >> reporter: yeah. there are two ways that argument falls through. they spent and didn't have goodbooks and didn't worry about how they were going to pay the bills. from that point of view it's the greek's fault. over the first five to ten years of the euro's life, they were being generated for the biggest economy. the strongest economy and that is germany. in u.s. terms, it is as if the fed was running monetary policy for new york, california and florida because they were the states that needed the most help. as for mississippi and alabama and illinois just got swept up

along the way. that has happened in the u.s., sort of. when the greeks say it's the germ german's fault, they mean they were the biggest beneficiary over the good terms of growth. >> got it. now today it's gotten worse. does europe, did they just solve all these problems at once and bringing the whole house of cards down with it. how does that happen? how does that work? >> reporter: you do start to wonder at what point it gets too much and they get swamped by the sheer complexity. we're not there by my means. the ecb has a lot of ammunition

that it can fire down the throat of this crisis if it needs to. we are quite a long way from that. where we are and where we are seriously is what i might call the lost decade. the sort of slow sludging growth that europe is destined to suffer. a lot more headed your way this hour. roll it. >> it got buried in the news but for the first time the white house is revealing this secret operation. targeting terrorists and it's not where you think. the news is now. two weeks ago he walked the stage at his graduation. today, he's gone. shot to death, and as police look for his killer, there's now word this young man was
