mr. kerry: thank you all for tremendous patience during the course of a very long day which obviously has required a lot of detail work and we appreciate everybody's patience. and hanging in there. today, the united states and russia are announcing a plan which we hope will reduce violence, ease suffering and resume movement towards a negotiated peace and a political transition in syria. and we believe that the plan as it is set forth, if implemented, if followed, as -- has the ability to provide a turning point. the suffering that we have witnessed in syria over the course of more than five years now is really beyond inhumane. people have all seen the pictures. women, children, tortured. barrel bombs, gas. and the world has been shocked on a constant basis by what we have witnessed. and we are -- i say we. the obama administration, the united states, is going the extra mile here because we believe that russia and my colleague have the capability to press the assad regime to stop this conflict

mr. kerry says the cease-fire should lead to. if the offensive falls, mr. putin can send the foreign minister lavrov back to renew the deal with mr. kerry. either way, russia wins. the losers are the civilians trapped in eastern aleppo. 250,000-275,000 human beings who are cut off from supplies of food and medicine being bombed mercilessly. they are being offered the same choice the regime has successfully imposed on other towns across the country. surrender or starve. those who try to approach the evacuation corridors, russia says, have been established are shot at. they are indeed victims of barbarism, but the rhetoric of u.s. diplomats and continued petitioning to mr. putin won't help them much. mr. president, i don't claim to be -- i am a student of history. there was a gay named calcagus who were talking to his people who were fighting against the romance. once described the roman conquest of carthage where one stone was left on top of the other, the ground was salted and the carthaginians were slaughtered. and he described it -- they made a desert and

the cease-fire is in real trouble in syria and mr. kerry said the only way can maintain an ability is -- credibility is if the syrians ground air force. why do you think that will happen when the detailed agreement hasn't worked? >> the agreement is hanging by a thread, because of the egregious attack on the humanitari convoy that was clearly intentional, a convoy that had been agreed to and planned. the question before us now is whether russia has the intent and the capacity to make good on its commitments under the agreement that we have reached, after a lot of hard work. if it does, this would be a tremendous benefit, by renewing the sensation -- by renewing the cessation of hostilities and stopping indiscriminate bombing innocent civilians. there is a lot at stake ultimately it is up to russia to decide. the deal is this -- if this doesn't work, if russia doesn't make good on these commitments, then this civil war is going to get worse, and russia is going to be left holding the bag, and propping up assad, under siege, more and more wea

mr. kerry: there will be challenges in the days to come. i expect that. i think everybody does. t despite that, this plan has a chance to work. said secretary kerry also the u.s. could approve strikes by bashar al-assad against isis and al qaeda as part of the new .ease-fire global news 24 hours a day analysts inver 2600 over 160 countries. fed board member lyle brainard keeping a dovish tone -- lael brainard keeping a dovish tone in her remarks today. she said banks would be wise to keep policy loose. what can we make of all the fed speak? let's ask the chief u.s. economist for barclays. he joins us now. michael, thank you very much. everyone knew that brainard has a dovish reputation. she is very concerned about inflation and the labor market. thought she would set up a september rate hike. d not do that at all. what do you make of where we stand now? would say her comments were in line with expectations, even a bit more dovish. she made an argument for caution in light of what other fmo see members have said. we think the data has cleared hurdle for a strike. -- cleared the hu

mr. kerryndicating the parties have made progress, but says there are still several hurdles to clear, adding to the u.s. does not want to rush things. these talks coming as russian air strikes have been plopping up the syrian rebels. mark, good to see you, would it be an absolute fool'ser rand to do a deal with putin who has allegiances not just to assad, but iran? >> it's a fool's errand to deal with putin without a plan. they have had advisors from hillary clinton to david petraeus and others talk about ways to bolster their leverage. so if you're going to do a deal with putin and you have no leverage, he's going to take you to the cleaners. >> as putin provided air cover for the iranians and they were operations in this? >> he has, and in fact he has very much militarized a solution. you have heard from obama and kerry for a number of years that there's no military option. vladimir putin founded the military action. he's provided air cover to the assad regime. and he's allowed them to turn t
