taxes, trade, and intelligence leaks, but yesterday's conversation was dominated by syria. during a difficult one-on-one meeting between president obama and russian president vladimir putin it was clear the two leaders have, as putin put it, opinions that do not coincide. susan mcginnis is in washington. susan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, anne-marie. that is putting it mildly. heading into day two of these talks, it's clear that these world leaders want a diplomatic solution but these two, president obama and president putin, could not be farther apart on which side should get military aid. the second and final day of the g-8 economic summit is under way this morning. but these images can best sum up the conference so far. president obama and russian president vladimir putin looking very uncomfortable following a two-hour meeting yesterday. >> they had a very candid and wide-ranging discussion.

mind-set, it's going to be very difficult to resolve the situation. >> reporter: president obama announced on monday the u.s. will send $300 million to help the victims and refugees of the war. and president obama also told charlie rose that the argument that going into syria, the u.s. going in there sooner or more heavily could have stopped the bloodshed and violence is not true. anne-marie. >> susan mcginnis is in washington. thank you, susan. well, today, two u.s. senators plan to introduce legislation that would limit the government's ability to collect data on u.s. citizens. speaking to charlie rose on pbs, president obama said the nsa does not target e-mails or phone calls of u.s. citizens. he says he understands privacy concerns, but also says there say need for balance. >> the way i view it, my job is both to protect the american people and to protect the american way of life, which includes our privacy. and so, every program that we

engage in, what i've said is, let's examine and make sure that we're making the right tradeoffs. >> meanwhile, someone claiming to be edward snowden, the man who leaked information about the nsa program, defended his actions during an online chat. he said he is not a spy for china and discounted efforts to silence him. bob orr reports. >> reporter: from a secret location in hong kong, someone claiming to be edward snowden defended his outing of classified u.s. intelligence programs and a former nsa contractor challenged authorities to do anything about it.
