morning between the seemingly tense meeting between putin and obama. both leaders sat down last night for their first formal meeting in two years. but it came after they aired out their differences in speeches before the u.n. general assembly. >> reporter: vladimir putin and barack obama in their first formal one-on-one meeting in two years. but only after trading insults over syria. putin's swaggered into the u.n. after the diplomatic military and pr blitz to seize the initiative from the u.s. that left the white house scrambling. obama wants syrian president o assad out. but putin says without assad isis would take over. insisting it is an enormous mistake refusing to cooperate with the syrian government and its armed forces. obama seriously jekted the argument. >> in accordance with this logic

we should support assad, who drops barrel bombs. >> being called a new cold war, not just over syria but ukraine. putin arrived 20 minutes late for the u.n. lunch, sitting to close to obama, they had to shake hands and couldn't avoid the toast. this is not reagan and gorbachev or the clinton and yeltsin. >> this is not the vlad and barack show. >> no. they are very blunt and direct with one another. >> putin sees every rivalry as a sports match. >> he always shows himself as the macho man. a strong man. he sees weakness and seizes on it. >> he sees weakness. just a handle of rebels trained at huge cost and isis rangs ranks growing. >> in the race for the white

house, donald trump is getting specific about his long awaited tax plan. he's pledging tax relief for the middle class. but some say his plan is a gift for the wealthy. >> in the lobby of his manhattan skyscraper, donald trump got down to details. >> this is going to cost me a fortune. >> campaign says would get rid of income tax for millions of americans while lowering rates for the rich. under the plan individuals making less than 25 grand and married couples making less than 50 would pay no income tax. the highest tax rate would drop from 39.6 to 25%. and state taxes would be eliminated. businesses would pay 15%. and overseas profits would be taxed one time at the rate of 10%, which trump claims would bring more than 2 trillion back to the u.s.

the cuts unspecified loopholes and deductions would all lead to a flourishing economy. >> we're looking at 3%. we think it could be 5, even 6. we. >> reporter: it appears this would be a very significant tax cut for the richest taxpayers. >> trump's tax plan another big promise for a big fix from the front runner. on infrastructure? >> our bridges are falling apart. our roads are a mess. everything. it's a mess. >> estimates put rebuilding at 3.6 trillion by 2020. on healthcare, specifically repealing and replacing obamacare. >> we will have a plan that will be so good. >> repealing alone, 137 billion over a decade. trump getting specific. but as the experts weigh, in candidates may soon find out the devil really is in the details. on the democratic side hillary clinton is ruling out

what could be a new but familiar strategy to combat her e-mail troubles. >> secretary clinton is trying to dig herself out of the e-mail controversy. >> but i'm not by any means a technical expert. it is like a drip drip drip. >> now she's explaining why why e-mails surfaced dating two months earlier than clinton saying she set up the account. >> there was a transition period. i wasn't that focused on my e-mail account. >> her campaign acknowledged she sent e-mails as early as january that year. the explanation, she started using the account before the server was officially sed up at her hope. >> every phrase and sentence she utters is examined minutely by press, critics, by everyone. and that makes it hard for her to kind of tamp down on the controversy.

>> her new weapon, her husband. >> it really is similar to the strategy that the republicans employed against me with white water. they look at the field and say what do we not want to run against. >> and he's a pretty busy guy. i don't know anything like that. but i'm not looking -- i'm not counting my chickens before they hatch. >> lawmakers on capitol hill have just two days left to come one a spending plan that would avert a government shut down. meanwhile house republicans will meet behind closed doors to discuss their future in the wake of speaker bayoehneboehner's su resignation. a and. a busy day ahead for gop lawmakers. >> no question. let's start with the shut down

it's first and foremost on everyone's minds with a deadline tomorrow. the senate pushed forward legislation that could essentially hold on the the budget until september 11th, postpone this and if that is approved by the republican led house te then we can avoid that midnight deadline for shut down tomorrow night. the other thing is the house leadership is in flux with boehner stepping down next month. today they have a meeting to talk about who will take over for him. it looks like kevin mccarthy the current majority leader is the most likely candidate. he's announced that he's interested but he is not the only candidate. so we'll see what happens there. we don't even have a date yet for those elections. and as you noted the planned parenthood issue that's been so critical in these budget negotiations, it comes up again. the house oversight commission is going to hear from the head
