the white house did not put secretary of state rex tillerson on camera.m them. and lavrov won the day especially in the first hour or two hours after the meeting. there really hasn't been that much agreement on that meeting since then. i think the white house was pretty pleased with how the meeting went. they liked the personal enter ashgszs that donald trump and vladimir putin had together. they bragged about the fact that the meeting was longer than planned. melania trump came in to try to break it up but they went on for another hour. that really was the agreement. the major question going forward what actually happened in that meeting and did president trump actuallial agree with russian president vladimir putin's explanation on hacking. >> dan merica, thank you for reporting today. >>> a major event is about to take place in antarctica. a giant iceberg. the larsen ice shield. i'm sure you heard about it, seen pictures. derek is going to tell you what's going on when we come back. minimize blood sugar spikesp you can really feel it. glucerna. everyday

clearly, secretary of state rex tillerson was prepared for this meeting, obviously a lot of work was done before hand, i think we have the news about the ukrainian envoy now, that is big news, and certainly not welcome news for russia, in that the envoy is a former ambassador to nato, and lastly, i think one thing that is not being touted too much is secretary mnuchin said that during economic discussions, that north korea would discuss at length and that they made progress, that clearly is a signal that sanctions are on the table, some sort of treasury, economic sanctions, and we're trying to get europe on board, probably briefing the russians as well, but clearly we are seeing progress all the way around. this was prepared. >> melissa: yeah, that's a great one, because maybe not everyone in the audience understands that if he is in charge of that, so that is where he would be bringing that up, negotiating them, understand the details of them, you know, the meeting was supposed to go urgently and only a half-hour, but it went two hours, rex tillerson was asked there about the length

then came the surprise meeting from secretary of state rex tillerson. ng to a partial syrian cease-fire. here's what mr. tillerson said. >> this is our first indication of the u.s. and russia being able to work together in syria, and as a result of that, we had a very lengthy discussion regarding other areas in syria that we can continue to work together on to deescalate the areas and violence once we defeat isis. and to work together towards a political process that will secure the future of the syrian people. >> joining us is retired admiral john kirby, cnn military analyst lieutenant colonel rick francona, and robert ford. admiral, how significant is this cease-fire that the u.s. and russia reached common ground on this? >> it's certain hi good news, john. any cease-fire that can put into effect is good for the syrian people. but the devil is in the details. when asked about the details, secretary tillerson didn't have a lot. when it comes to who is going to monitor this, how is it going to be enforced? number two, it's in southwest syria. again, any

rex tillerson, repeatedly saying the two leaders needed to find a way to move forward. >> reporter: it was striking that that was the first thing, according to secretary tillerson that president trump raised with vladimir putin. and what we do know, based on what secretary tillerson told reporters gathered not far from here is there will be ongoing conversations at a staff level. no immediate plans for another presidential level, putin-trump, trump-putin meeting. the issue of interference in the election will be something they work on out of the state department and their counter parts. interestingly, we have heard from the russian side, the foreign minister lavrov takes a different view of what happened there and referred to cyber hacking as something where there was more agreement and the president raised the issue of some in the united states who think that perhaps there was some russian connection there, very much soft pedalling it and describing it differently than secretary tillerson did. as we listen to secretary tillerson's voice, this is a man who was in business for a long ti

the only people who are in there were president trump and secretary of state rex tillerson. "the new york times" reported this morning that rex tillerson told a close associate, quote, the president said to putin, quote, i want to get this out of the way, did you do this? and tillerson was stunned by that. the bottom line who knows? steve mnuchin doesn't know what was said in that meeting and we can't trust what president putin or trump say because both of them have been proven to lie on the record all the time. what we know is what president trump thinks about the russian election hacking says all the time the russians probably did it but others probably did it too. that's not supported by the intelligence. that's is not supported by the reporting. but that seems to be what the president of the united states believes. that it's very troubling. what we are looking for coming out of this meeting is what actions will the president take? will he support congressional sanctions? will he give back the compounds to the russians? that is the greatest indication of whether or not pr

rex tillerson's point of the right now is that there should restraint.ions and -- the u.s.te department says this dispute might not end anytime soon in said this could last week's or even months. -- meet with us or we -- and we will give you dirt on hillary clinton. after initially saying the june russianwas about adoptions, he revised his statement. when it came to information can, it was -- who ae clinton, it was disappointment. >> it became clear she had no information. lawyer andt trump's were there. the new york times broke the story on saturday, having received tips from five sources in the administration. the russian lawyer at the meeting says she was not acting on behalf of the russian yet her clients include state owned businesses. wildfires across the western part of the u.s. and canada. california,ime in firefighters are battling the first major fire since the end of a five-year drought. force havef acres of been scorched. have been scorched. temperatures reach 36 degrees celsius in valleys and inland over the weekend, hampering relief efforts. thousands of firef

secretary of state rex tillerson the only other u.s. official inside the meeting later told reporters that president trump opened this session by raising the elephant in the room: russian interference in the 2016 election. >> the president pressed president putin on more than one occasion regarding russian involvement. president putin denied such involvement, as i think he has in the past. >> reporter: while putin denied involvement, tillerson said the two leaders agreed to work together to avoid future cyberattacks and not let the russian influence dominate their relationship. >> the two leaders agreed, though, that this is a substantial hindrance. and the ability of us to move the u.s.-russian relationship forward. >> reporter: tonight, one question above all remains unanswered, whether agreeing to move on diminishes the seriousness of russia's role. >> senator putin and i have been discussing various things, and i think it's been going very well. we've had some very good talks. we're going to have a taublk no and obviously that's goi

rex tillerson debriefs reporters before

rex tillerson was doing business with russia prior to becoming secretary of state.npresident degraded our fbi director. and we know that the stories have now come out of what happened in the meeting. who is telling the fake news? it is amazing the christian base thatupport lies and hatred has permeated our country and call themselves christians. and that it split the country and have. -- in half and this meeting further proves that as a christian nation, we has -- as a non-right-wing christian i am appalled by what people call christianity. host: springfield, virginia, republican line, what are your thoughts about the meeting between president trump and president putin? caller: i founded positive. -- i found it positive. this is a fantastic opportunity that our president of the united states has a chance to meet mr. putin. at the same time, people sometimes call him racist but people against him are racist. we have to forget why we have to go and think like mr. trump said, let's do the best for america. let's find the positive reasons and be positive. do not be nega

you had secretary of state rex tillerson there. you had johnny destefano. oversees white house hiring. you had jared kushner there. you had reince priebus there. tillerson exploded. he yelled at destefano over the hiring issues. tensions over hiring. he believed destefano had been taking over control. this is tension that has been going on for months with the state department and white house. it is one of the reasons why a lot of the state department is not staffed up. they cannot decide who to fill the roles. back and forth with the state department and white house. what happened after the screaming match between tillerson and destefano. jared kushner who is at the meeting pulled aside one of tillerson's aides and said the secretary of state cannot act that way. we need to move forward and find a better solution moving forward to make sure it doesn't happen again. >> my reporting after alex's story came out. it was a screaming patmatch in oval office outside the west wing. is this typical? is this norm? is this a one off? >> i think tillerson in particular

one, that the most important voice that we could hear from is not rex tillerson. it's the president of the united states. and i think that's sort of allude to what i was saying before. i want to hear from the president what he said to vladimir putin and how he's holding the russian president and the russian government accountable for the meddling in the election. we just have not heard that and i think the american people deserve to hear that. but i also laugh at the issue of going vigorously going after voter fraud because i think that is really engaging in voter intimidation. but, you know, maybe that's just something on my part. >> julian, german chancellor angela merkel, she held a press conference and weighed in on the u.s. role at the g-20. listen. >> you are familiar with the american position, you know that unfortunately an i deplore this, the united states of america left the climate agreement or announced their intention of doing this. so what becomes clear in this declaration is the dissenting view of the united states, but i am very gratified to note t

—— rex tillerson. ramp up sanctions and things like that and if you can increase pressure. north korea sees this as a vital interest. what about more pressure from china and the russians? they have called on kim jong—un to give up his nuclear programme. using that will be enough? i don't think it will be enough. china has been fairly clear about the fact that ultimately, it sees this as an issue between the united states and north korea. and because of that, fundamentally, it has to be resolved between those kind —— between those two countries. china is willing to play a role in getting people together and facilitating that but it is not something china can do for the us. the us has to be involved. you are a missile scientist. talk us through this missile that was launched by pyongyang. can it really target the us state of alaska? well, i think it can. what we saw north korea do yesterday was what they have done recently in a number of tests which is to fire a missile essentially straight up. it then f

they met for two hours and rex tillerson says trump pressed putin on his involvement in the us election. >> what did they talk about? here to dis face the nation host john dickerson. more than two hours the headlines are going to the interference in the election but do we know what the greatest substance of conversation focused on? >> we know that a lot is focused on syria and there was disagreement to a cease-fire in syria which is a big deal relative to where the us russia relations have been. they have gotten a little more heated so the fact there is any agreement to anything is a de- escalation in the tension between russian troops and american forces. so, there was a lot of talk about that. other payoffs we won't know for a little while. they talked about the situation in ukraine. president trump is focused on north korea. he could get some help there or needs some help from the russians on that. so, we're still figuring out details for what was talked about but we might not know for a little while the truths of that to our 15 minute meeting. >> we know that rex tillerson had a deb

rex tillerson said mr. putin denied involvement in the election, as he has in the past, and asked americans for proof. a familiar diversionary tactic by russians caught red-handed. there is no indication mr. trump demanded responsibility or promise to will not happen again." do you think the president took it seriously enough? guest: it is hard to know what is in the president's mind. going back to secretary tillerson's point, if you have a putin denying what everyone knows to be true, when you beat a dead horse or get something done or progress is possible. host: we are talking with herman americanof the foreign-policy counsel about president trump's first g-20 summit. death from brunswick, maine. -- beth from brunswick, maine. caller: i know my time is short. i will try to keep it limited. trump is definitely a derelict and not fit to be president of this country. one man was correct by saying he is selling our country out. i hope everyone enjoyed their independence day because if we stay on this path, th

politico, rex tillerson loads up at top white house aides. the secretary of state frustrated by negative press coverage and delays in appointing staff, unleashed his anger in front of reince priebus, jared kushner, and others. republican line from front royal, virginia, ramona, good morning. welcome to the conversation. caller: good morning. i think nikki would be onderful secretary of state. she has stood up for many, many ood principles, thank you. host: the national review piece on nikki haley. caller: this is another bad deal. so far everybody's pick, nobody stands up when saying something stupid. one day, one time they used to stand up and argue about something, but now if he said it, it's all right. this is the craziest thing i ever so. i'm 70 years old. i ant never seen nothing this stupid. i still up for the people, my anyone in my unit. but this guy, he likes russia more than he like anybody else. i mean, this is crazy. i ain't understood -- thank you. and when would they get rid of this group you? just told a man on the news a good

now, according to rex tillerson, who is of course speaking from the u.s. point of view here, in terms of how that meeting played out, president trump brought this up at the very top of this meeting, that this was a lengthy exchange, and that vladimir putin simply denied that russia meddled in last year's election. as a matter of fact, according to secretary of state tillerson, the russians demanded proof. vladimir putin wanted proof that his country had meddled in last year's election. that proof was apparently not provided during this meeting. it's interesting to note, brooke, as we're getting some initial reporting out of rex tillerson and sergey lavrov, his russian counterpart, talking to reporters after this meeting, sergey lavrov apparently told reporters after this meeting that president trump accepted vladimir putin's claim of non-interference in last year's election. brooke, i just talked to a senior administration official in the last few minutes who says, no, president trump did not accept vladimir putin's claim of noninterference, and so there i

rex tillerson says president trump confronted putin about the russian

rex tillerson, the only u.s. cabinet official in the meeting, said that president trump pushed putin on russia's election hacks. while sergei lavrov, putin's foreign minister, told reporters a very different story. >> the president opened the meeting with president putin by raising the concerns of the american people regarding russian interference in the 2016 election. they had a very robust and lengthy exchange on the subject. the president pressed president putin on more than one occasion regarding russian involvement. president putin denied such involvement. as i think he has in the past. i think what the two presidents -- i think rightly -- focused on is how do we move forward? how do we move forward from here? because it's not clear to me that we will ever come to some agreed upon resolution of that question between the two nations. >> translator: and president trump has said that he has heard clear declarations from mr. putin that russian leadership and russian government has not interfered in the elections

sergey lavrov and rex tillerson are having press conferences. is disagreement about russia's involvement in the last presidential election. matt miller, greatest big with you. what are we learning as i from ? >> one of mentioned the things that we are hearing is that donald trump has accepted russian president vladimir putin's denial of any involvement in the hacking of the 2016 election according to sergey lavrov. they are giving dueling press conferences so we don't know what rex tillerson has to say about that. there is a really dramatic moment that has just taken place. shoulder, a big screen in the media center showing the hamburg philharmonic where all of the g-20 leaders and the sherpas and staff have gathered. the concert was delays -- delayed because of the meeting between president trump and president putin. president trump came in with melania, standing next to president macron of france. but there was a standing ovation in the hall. it was a quite poignant and dramatic moment. is filling upho that leadership vacuum here. itself..s. i

state rex tillerson said there was a positive chemistry. plenty to talk about there was so much to talk about all these issues. just about everything got touched on to one degree or another and i think there was such a level of engagement and exchange neither one of them wanted to stop. times i had to remind the president of people sticking their heads in the door and i think even the first lady at one point to see if she could get us out of there and i didn't work either and it seems the meeting brought about a potential breakthrough for the syria conflict too as the leaders agreed to establish a ceasefire in the country. it was following the historic talks. mr trump and mr putin at the g twenty summit and hamburg the two leaders finally met and talked about three times longer than both administrations expected and now straight after the meeting was over all the journalists here were hungry for the details and we got them from the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov he was the first one to announce the breakthrough cease fire you may be

it starts off with rex tillerson. listen. >> president trump and president putin met this afternoon for two hours and fifteen minutes here on the sidelines of the g20. the two leaders exchanged views on the current nature of the u.s.-russia relationship, and the future of the u.s.-russia relationship. they discussed important progress that was made in syria. and i cthink all of you have sen some of the news that just broke regarding the escalation agreement and memorandum, which was agreed between the united states, russia and jordan. for an important area in southwest syria that affects jordan's security, but also is very complicated part of the syrian battlefield. this deescalation area was agreed. it's well-defined. agreements on who will secure this area, the cease-fand i thi indication of the u.s. and russia being able to work together in syria, and as a result of that, we had a very lengthy discussion regarding other areas in syria that we can continue to work together on to deescalate the areas in violence once

we heard from nikki haley, we heard from secretary of state rex tillerson, but we have not heard from the president of the united states. should we? >> i think we have heard from the administration and the president has made it clear that one of the top issues when he began his meeting with vladimir putin was russian interference in the u.s. election of 2016 -- >> well, we heard from the administration, but we haven't heard from the horse's mouth. the president of the united states just as we did from vladimir putin following the g20. vladimir putin came out, he seemed quite comfortable with answering questions about his account. but then we didn't see that same kind of demeanor coming from the president of the united states to give his version of events, face-to-face. >> yeah, i actually don't think that the president of the united states needs to go point by point on this issue with vladimir putin. vladimir putin probably issued that statement because that two-hour meeting did not go, i think, in the direction that he wanted it to go. there was a commitment to deescalation in southw

secretary of state rex tillerson said the two leaders had a very clear, very positive chemistry.ut the americans and russians are giving very different accounts of the meeting. we have a great deal to discuss with our specialist, adam kirby. if i can begin with you, there are always differing accounts coming out of these meetings on both sides. mr. lavrov saying mr. trump accepted putin's denial, tillerson saying absolutely not. is there a lot there to that difference? who should we believe? >> it's important to note that the president did bring it up, right at the top. is it possible he wasn't as assertive as people would like him to have been? absolutely. but i'm inclined to take the administrative take on this. 'been in many meetings with sergey lavrov, and the idea he would go to the cameras after the meeting and have an entirely different perspective that doesn't comport with the discussion doesn't surprise me in the least. i think we should be careful of taking lavrov's word. >> he doesn't have good communication himself. >> when i heard tillerson describe that in lavrov's

listen, we cannot, as a nation, believe him over donald trump and rex tillerson.ide coming out of this meeting, but it speaks to a bigger credibility gap that this president has created for himself by continuing to mislead and under mine himself. there's a bigger diplomatic issue in the way that donald trump has approached this. when the president has a press conference in poland and denies russia was entering or didn't know, but he now says that he did, that's the inconsistency that undermines leader for the united states. >> these types of relationships people question whether them knowing each other is a good thing or not. donald trump has always tried to promote knowing russian president vladimir putin, why would it be such a bad thing. we know that rex tillerson came out of this meeting and said that the question between the two nations might never be resolved when it comes to russian meddling. donald trump demeans this intelligence all the time and has only gotten on board with it days prior to going into this meeting. does trump accept it or not accept it?

amy: so that was tim kaine questioning rex tillerson. he just received a lifetime achievement award in turkey. certainly, the u.s. was isolated and g20 when it came to trump having pulled out of the climate accord. but you are making this your point,, are you saying are the other countries any better? if so, what countries do you think are taking the right path when it comes to climate change? >> look him i think a lot of these other countries are better in word, if not yet in deed. it is important, but it is also a crisis of immense proportions. we can't just be talking about taking climate action anymore. we have to be taking climate action. even germany's government, with chancellor merkel at the helm, has been providing more finance to fossil fueled and clean energy. these are countries were justin merkel, thatla lofty rhetoric about climate chanange, he other public finane is still, the bulk of it is going into fossil fuels rather than clean energy. that is something that needs to change immediately. amy: and the significance of til

well, rex tillerson talked about how there we re tillerson talked about how there were two views on whatould never agree on it, really. i think you are hearing public statements about the fact that those two views have not been agreed on. rex tillerson tried to say, look, we raised it, mrtrump pressed him on it but we will move forward , pressed him on it but we will move forward, because this will be a different story from both sides, so we will move on to the future. we are setting up a forum on cyber security and will try and work more closely on this in future, preventing this kind of thing from happening. i think the question to ask is, what will people in washington be hearing? rex tillerson saying we pressed on, let's move on, oi’ saying we pressed on, let's move on, or sergei lavrov saying that trump admitted that putin was not responsible, i expect they will hear the latter. and in terms of the washington perspective, do they think that they have been successful? it is difficult to breathe this. it's a difficult call, actually. let's look at the body language. there has been som

you saw in that room with the two presidents rex tillerson the u.s. secretary of state and sergey labrov and the translators and two more hand shakes. one earlier this morning. a lot of interpreting of body language there. you see there that president putin was looking to the ground and both of them looking to the reporters. i don't know exactly what point that was. if someone was asking a question there. there was a suggestion at one point by an ambassador who was on msnbc earlier today that putin would prefer this shot to a standing shot because he does not like to be with people who are taller than he is. each of them in their own way believing that they are the ultimate dealmakers and wanting to get the upper hand here. so, now, the cameras are gone. let's talk about what each man goes into this with. wanting to take away. what's the strategy? is there a strategy, jonathan? let's talk about donald trump. >> well, the white house said a few days ago that he would come into this meeting with no set agenda. which worried some folks. this is someone p

secretary of state rex tillerson who was also in that room during the talks told us that the american president opened his discussion with his russian counterpart by citing the concerns of the american people over allegations of russian hacking rex tillerson went on to say that the president came back to that question several times but a lot of putin kept denying any involvement in the meantime the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov says that russia's take on this issue hasn't changed because of the new move from said this campaign has been blown through pollution and that's been admitted by those involved accusations have. been around for many months but no evidence has been provided trump says that putin denied any involvement in the us elections and he expects that what we'll be watching out for right now is of course the reaction from across the atlantic because you take my word president donald trump will be under a lot of pressure back home for what rex tillerson called a true chemistry between the presidents of russia and the us. away from the politics pictures from the g.

along with rex tillerson, russian foreign minister lavrov will be there.he run-up to the meeting, the world leaders have had sharp words for one another. putin has slammed u.s. sanctions against russia as well as president trump's trade policies. as for trump, when he was in poland, he had stern words for russia, too, chiding them for their role in conflicts in the ukraine, as well as in syria. the big question is whether president trump is

us secretary of state rex tillerson is in turkey to attend a major oil conference.at lies ahead for the black stuff? and women in india are fighting a taxing battle when it comes to personal hygiene products. welcome to world business report. i'm ben bland in a minute we'll have the latest chinese inflation numbers from rico. but first — the 22nd world petroleum congress kicked off in turkey yesterday. the global oil pow wow comes amid a period of turmoil for the global oil industry. as you can see, while a global deal between major producers — but not the us — to limit supply has somewhat stabilised the price of the black stuff, oversupply now means it's now on the slide again. but us secretary of state rex tillerson — himself an oil man who served as ceo of exxon mobil before taking office — praised some new energy initiatives. the united states looks forward to engaging with turkey on projects that will increase global energy security such as the southern gas quarter and the eastern mediterranean gas. these projects will enable europe to diversify its energy sour
