john kerry and sergei lavrov are spending a lot of time together.y are trying to get together this deal to implement cessation of hostilities across syria to allow an opportunity for huma humanitarian aid in aleppo. what they hope is they can get russia to lean on syria and force its aircraft to stay on the ground so the syrian air force will no longer bomb civilians and no longer bomb official groups that america support. what russians want is to team up with america to share air power information and intelligence and targeting to hit terrorist groups on the ground in syria. that is what they are trying to make happen. as i said, it is ambitious. no guarantee it will happen. the hope is if you get that into place, that could kick start a wider peace process to eventually answer some of the bigger questions like what happens to president assad and perhaps one day resolving the overall conflict. >> phil black in moscow, thank you. >>> dozens of people trapped in cable cars in the french alps have been rescued. crews untangled the cables that got cros

yesterday we saw john kerry and his russian counterpart, sergei lavrov, sit down. there was some hope that they maybe be able to hash out a deal , particularly in the north. they were not able to do that. there are a number of key issues asy cannot agree on, such what to do about bashar al-assad, and the role of russia and the role of syria. we do not have details of what they talked about yet, but we understand there has not been a deal on syria. the united states says russia has a responsibility to dramatically reduce the scale of violence in syria, both from warplanes and from -- there can be no real cease-fire until they do that. where is russia says the focus of the united states needs to be -- the islamic state are the people who really are threatening the stability and sovereignty of syria. that is an argument by russia which may be strengthened today if it turns out that islamic state is responsible for those attacks. reporting from beirut, thank you. staying in the region, pro-government rebels continue to take new ground from the islamic state group on li

there was a moment he talked about the relationship between john kerry and sergei lavrov, his foreigninister. they see each other fairly often. the dialogue seems very robust. diplomatically, how strong is the relationship? john: he has a sense that he remembers the world when russia met america. for all the things he says about america, all the dismissals he has, it is still the core of the way he would like the world to be. it is a little bit like a jilted spouse or a jilted lover. carol: getting the perfect image to capture vladimir putin's conversation with bloomberg was the job with creative director robert vargas. david: we talked about the coverage. let's start with the u.s. cover. a portrait of putin. clearly, among other people. what was the philosophy behind using not photo? >> when we shoot heads of state, and we did the same when we shot obama, we want to approach them more as people. david: less posed. robert: yeah, less posed, just catching them in a moment that feels natural and authentic. we felt that this photo actually does that. he was aware of this being shot, but

i think that sergey lavrov and john kerry will be so intensely part of this that they won't allow theirto be unprofessional or to deal with each other badly. you can't walk away from the fact that u.s. and russia relations just about everywhere in the world are frayed and tense. this could have the opportunity of not just getting syria right and the united states and russia more on the same page it could become an opportunity for detoxing some of the rest of the relationship in the world. >> on this 15th anniversary of 9/11, just showing video of president obama there at the pentagon, the last time as a sitting president on this commemoration dated what do you think the legacy of president obama will be with regard to syria and the region and what he wants it to be? >> i think that this administration from president obama through the various national security and defense -- it is very uncomfortable about syria. it is a box they can't check off. it is a civil war with a proxy conflict that is stuck on top of it. they're never going to be able to say we put this in the right place. we're
