what do you think came out of that sergey lavrov presser? >> john kerry said before he went to the middle east that he was hoping to find a way to restart the political discussion that could lead to the departure of bashar al-assad as the syrian president. the civil war has been going on for more than four years now more than 200,000 people have been killed, upwards of 2 million have been displaced internally and across the border in turkey and iraq and jordan among other places and the u.s. government is very concerned that the longer that the civil war in syria goes on the more destabilizing it will become to the middle east in no large part because of the rise of i.s.i.l. which has taken advantage of the civil war to establish a beach head as it were in northern syria. so having these discussions with the saudi foreign minister and with the russian foreign minister, sergey lavrov, the u.s. is hoping to find a way to restart the political discussion. that doesn't mean that the u.s. is going to abandon the air war against i.s.i.l. targets b

what can larry and sergey do that they couldn't do before? >> arguably nothing that they haven't already been doing. ever since larry was appointed ceo of couple of years ago, he has shown a little bit face for -- it of this taste -- this taste -- distate for the grittier responsibilities of being chief executive, talking to shareholders, being on the quarterly conference call, talking to regulators and testifying before congress that is why gradually we has handoff -- handing off more responsibility. what this allows him to do, and that sergei has already been doing, is to look at the next twist in technology and let him handle all the stuff he hasn't wanted to deal with. emily: you said that you don't envy sundar. it is not an easy job to take on. >> i don't think people seemed quite understand how deep that is from facebook, from apple, from amazon web services. google is a company which doesn't do anything really well. it is a fact. emily: wait, google is a company that doesn't do anything really well? >> they won the search category. loo

we know that sergey lavrov is on the same page as president putin. we don't know necessarily that john kerry is always speaking specifically for the white house. we've seen so many instances where the rug's been pulled out from under him. so it's going to be interesting to see that relationship develop further. certainly with regards to syria and chemical weapons and what's happening at the u.n., the situation is much broader. >> who do we think the u.s.'s strongest ally is today? >> i think they would say saudi arabia. what i saw when i was in riyadh the last couple months, john kerry and his entourage was there as well. when i spoke to members of that entourage coming out of meetings and saudis coming out of those meetings, i heard a very different story. saudi arabia and certainly the uae are allies. we're starting to get back in bed with egypt. that was something on hold for the last couple of years. but whether other states would say that about us is the question. >> with iran, that has been the biggest session? >> absolutely, that has played in

sergey lavrov said it was counter productive for the u.s. to expand air operations in syria by providing air cover to u.s. trained rebels. moscow believes the white house should cooperate with syria's president to defeat isil and view bashar al assad as a partner against the isil enemy. it said it will supply weapons to fight the armed group. we have more from moscow. >> the language used in this press conference was very heavy in terms like possibility and phrases like continuing discussions. very little was said about actual hard policy. there is much that thieves two countries disagree on but perhaps an issue they are broadly on the same page is isil. we heard that saudi arabia and russia are talking about how they might collaborate with their security forces in combating isil. we also heard about a potential coalition by which the two countries, saudi arabia and russia might get together to combat isil, as well, but not very much in terms of what form either of these proposals might sake. there is more that separates than unifies them, w

google is a machine that will continue powering forward and i know that sergei will remain involved. will not lose all the intellectual capital, so to speak. emily: larry says what is alphabet -- it is a collection of companies and the new google is stripped-down. the main product is contained in alphabet. good examples are health sciencesm,, life ses onlico which focues o longevity. there is a shakeup in the operating structure, in general, at google. what is your reaction? david: it sounds like a new name for what we previously called google. aside from a massive advertising engine, a lot of interesting and not hugely profitable entities, like the cars, the glass effort. maybe they are folding it in and showing that it does not stop their ability to be a monster search engine. presumably, shareholders of google are now shareholders of alphabet inc., i would assume. emily: he added that -- stepped up tremendously. sarah, what do you make of this news as someone who covers silicon valley and has been following google for many years? sarah: it is interesting that we are seeing one of
