. >> ron russia convinced by any of that? >> no i'm not convinced by any of it. let's look at the tacts. as robert knows, the firms using the h 1b tens of thousands of firms like he represent, cognizant, the only reason cognizant brings in 9, 10,000 per year on h 1b is they can be paid less. this is not to fill a skills gap, it is because the workers can be paid less. >> 775,000 job openings, are you saying there isn't 775,000? >> there is no measurements for that. >> people filling out on glassdoor.com? >> let's look at what the h 1b visa program is used for, for ordinary i.t. work, like infosys like tata. they're not filling skills gap, to train their foreign replacement. >> that's the difference. the problem that we have is there are hundreds of thousands of jobs that are going unfilled in this economy and unless we address it with better workforce policies, education and training policies, those jobs will find their way offshore. the h 1b myth that he's been parroting for i don't know the last decade i think does not match up with the reality. for him to be r

obama said he would work with russia and assad's pat ron, iran, to try to find a solution in syria.ater, the two leaders met face to face for the first time in more than a year. t >> any progress on syria? >> both ignored reporters' shouted questions. white house officials insisted ukraine would be the primary topic of the meeting with putin who many suspect is trying to change the subject with his actions in syria. but a year and a half after the ukraine crisis began, russia is still there. in the his address, mr. obama vowed to keep sanctions on russia until it reverses course. >> we cannot stand by when the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a nation is flagrantly violated. if that happens without sequence in ukraine, it could happen to any nation gathered here today. >> mike vaquiera, new york the 90 minute meeting with president putin began with an awkward handshake and ended with the leaders failing to find common ground over assad. p peter sharp has more from moscow on what political analysts are say there about the meeting. >> they have been going through the text of w

russia shocked the u.s. with a power play to share intelligence with iran and iraq, and new moves to prop up assad. ron, you're in a huge security area. i've got to tell you, my friend, i just left there, as you know, and it took about an hour to get just a few blocks to 30 rock. fair warning when you have to leave, and that's because you've got 170 world leaders and right in the middle of all this action, obama and putin. >> reporter: exactly. president putin is expected to speak next, as the roster of presidents go throughout the day. it'll be interesting to see how he responds to what president barack obama said. president obama said he'd speak frankly and from his mind. he thought that the aggression in ukraine was wrong. he called it a flagrant violation of thesoever tyof the the country. he thinks the dictator, assad, has to go. this would fly in the face of what putin has been saying. the two men have had a bad relationship over the years. icy and frigid. we'll see if that happens again when they meet around 5:00 this evening. there's probably going to be a photo op. we may get a readout from th

russia and the united states are the greatest nuclear powers. that places additional response ability on our shoulders. we managed to work together along certain lines, especially when it comes to a ron'suclear program. createdal, we have positive results. charlie: how did that work? the president has often cited you for the assistance that you gave to reaching a final accord. what did your negotiators contribute? your foreign secretary? pres. putin: as strange as that may seem, the interests of united states and russia do sometimes coincide. in this case, when i just told you that we have a part to killer -- particular responsibility and cumbered upon us due to the -- encumbered upon us due to the number of wmds in the area, that is on us. not only byuided those considerations but also by the fact that iran is our neighbor. it is our traditional partner. that is why we wanted the situation around iran to be normalized. we believe that after normalization and the resolution of this problem, the security situation will strengthen. in that regard, our evaluation of the nuclear program coincides with america. as you know, the republicans are running for president. it is a big debate and t

ron allen joins me now from the u.n. it is interesting stage set. you have the remarks from the president. president obama saying that the world cannot stand by while russias ukraine's integrity and sovereignty but in the same speech also saying he can work with any leader to put an end to what he called the apocalyptic cult of isis. >> reporter: yes, tamron. a lot of territory covered by the president. but you're right, vladimir putin is about to speak to the u.n. for the first time in ten years in a couple of hours or so. there are a couple of speakers before him. it will be interesting to see how he responds to what president obama said. president obama was very critical of the russians on ukraine, on the invasion of crimea and also in terms of supporting bashar al assad, president of syria. that was the other big issue that the president tackled saying that there was essentially no room for a dictator even though he said he was willing to work with other nations in dealing with syria. he made it clear that assad has to go while vladimir putin has said that he supports the syrian president and that any solution should involve him. so those are the main
