at the moment sergei lavrov is not on the list. i think that's generally been the expectation. what you had in lucerne around switzerland was an array of the regional powers from around syria, plus the two big heavy weights, united states and russia. the idea was to thrash out any areas of commonality. talk out the issues. there were tensions in the room. secretary kerry said there was a broad agreement on broad concepts, particularly ending the war. i think that gives us an idea of the lack of specificity of some of the detail that might be required to really shape some kind of agreement. none of that, only the i idea that they agree the war should end. what's going to happen in london today? secretary kerry will come from that meeting and brief his allies, if you will. british prime minister is hosting it. the german foreign minister, italian foreign minister. turkey will be at the table as well. saudi arabia, who is also like turkey at the table yesterday in lucerne. you'll have jordan at the table as well. you'll have the qataris, the emirates. sort of a bench strength if y

through all of this year, john kerry has tried his best to get a deal with the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov to allow the conditions of the cease-fire and humanitarian aid delivery. every time secretary kerry got close to what he thought was a deal, the terms of the deal, he left up to russia to convince syria and president bashar al assad to make good on the commitments for cease-fire and aid delivery. every time push came to shove, every time the united states was waiting for russia to put that pressure on assad, it didn't happen. this time it is worse. what happened in that agreement a couple of weeks ago in geneva, i was right there and what happened in that agreement, the russians and syrians hit an aid convoy. and now this is something everyone sees the only logical conclusion is that russia is not committed to a political outcome. only to a military outcome. beyond that it is breaking international and humanitarian laws. targeting civilian areas and infrastructure. namely hospitals. the state department has been left with no other course other than to say russia is not making g

has been so key that he believes a diplomatic solution working alongside his russian counterpart sergeirov may stem thevance. john kerry himself said frankly it's his only choice. it's clear that the white house doesn't want to put military resources into a conflict that could see them clash openly against russian resources on the ground there. but the question now is, what really has moscow been planning for the past couple of weeks. the volume of resources now potentially available for this assault against aleppo, if it does happen. there are many suggestions it may be underway, would take weeks to get interest play. and those same weeks should have been spent, have been spent by moscow and damascus talking potentially diplomacy and peace with its washington counterparts. that's fallen apart now. we're seeing one of the darkest episodes of violence that have hit syria in this already nightmarish civil war. the u.s. talking about sanctions maybe against russia, the possibility of better armaments being supplied by syrian rebels, by their gulf allies that might target russian and syrian

[laughter] >> it's nonsense. nonsense with which e intelligena appeases itself. but in this brutal world in which we live, power speaks and putin knows how to wheel power. actually there are multiple air-defense systems russia sent to syria. the latest has a range of 150 miles. it can reach the skies over aleppo. isis and the opposition, they don't have fighter jets, they don't have cruise missiles, it's clearly aimed at us to warn us away from trying to do anything to stop this air-ground steam roller to mix metaphors rolling over thousands of civilians every single days, half a million dead, ten million refugees and obama pats himself on the back for trying. trish: you know, colonel, the u.s. and russia theoretically should be aligned on this. none of us want isis. isis is a big problem fo

sergei lavrov, the russian foreign minister, says he has no special hopes or expectations.ndeed he said that he would be holding his western partners accountable for upholding previously agreed u.n. security council ruling. he didn't see compromise on the western side as much as he felt the russians had compromised their position. it doesn't seem to be an auspicious tone upon which to start meetings. if you compare that with the ratcheting up of rhetoric and increase in tensions between the united states and russia over the issue of syria, specifically over oaleppo the past couple of weeks, it gives lavrov and kerry a chance to reset the rhetoric and perhaps get back to some discussion. it very much appears these talks have been shaped to bring in far fewer of the players. secretary kerry won't be flanked at these meetings as he has been in the past by his european allies. british, french, germans weren't invited. lavrov, he said he expected the saudi foreign minister and turkish foreign ministers to be around the table. of course, these parties have competing interests ins

citing what he called aggressive steps that threaten russian national security, foreign minister sergeyrned those in the u.s. going for more aggressive military action in syria are playing a, quote, very dangerous game. >> these are not simply academic discussions about posturing and alignmentes. this is a real capability in a hot war that exists right now in syria with multiple players. it is an acceleration of a problem and escalation, real damage that could take place. >> as tensions with the u.s. over syria deepen, president putin was in turkey today with president erdogan whose ties with washington are also strained over u.s. support for the kurds in syria, and his crackdown following that july coup attempt. putin said today he was glad erdogan was able to remain in control, wolf. >> elise, thanks very much. elise labott reporting. >>> before we go, a special thanks to all my followers on twitter. there are now more than 1 million of you. it's a great honor. promise to keep the tweets coming. tweet me @wolfblitzer.

been significant differences within the russian apparatus between the foreign ministry headed by sergeyrov and the defense mi ministry that is on the ground and defense ministries want to win. they don't want to bargain if they are on the offensive. that would be my construction of this. i don't see evidence that the u.s. has scuttled it. the u.s. had trouble controlling its allies, that's true. but i don't see us breaking the deal. >> all right. we're going to have to leave it at that. thank you for a very enlightening conversation. >>> next on "gps," much bigger things like helping make sure that cancer patients get better and maybe helping you do your job better. is it a hopeful future or a frightening one? i'll ask the ceo of ibm when we come back. he was 18. we made the movie the book of life. we started doing animation. with the surface book, you can do all this stuff. you can actually draw on the screen. so crisp. i love it. it's almost like this super powerful computer and a tablet had the perfect baby. it's a typewriter for writing scripts... it's a sketchbook for sketches... .

>> russia denied all involvement we heard today from the president of russia but also sergei lavrov who spoke to christiane amanpour. here's what he had to say. >> well, it ee's flattering, of course, to get this kind of attention for a regional power, as president obama called us some time ago. now everybody in the united states is saying that it is russia which is running the united nations presidential debate. it's flattering, as i said but it has nothing to be explained by the facts. we have not seen a single fact, a single proof and we have not seen any answer to the proposal which one year ago, almost one year ago, november, 2015 the prosecution prosecutor general's office conveyed to the department of justice to start professional consultations on cyber crime. >> let's get back to the facts. you deny this, the international community -- >> no, we did not deny this. they did not prove it. >> are you worried about the proportional response the white house says is going to happen? >> it's really -- it's n ee's nh speculating. if they decide to do something, let them do it. >> so rus

ist christiane amanpour interviewed sergey lavrov today asked him about the hacks, let's listen and thense to get this kind of attention for a regional power as president obama called us some time ago. now everybody in the united states is saying that it is russia which is running the united nations presidential debate. it's flattering, as i said. but it has nothing to be explained by the facts. we have not seen a single fact, a single proof. and we have not seen any answer to the proposal which one year ago -- almost one year ago, november 2015, the russian prosecutor general's office conveyed to the department of justice to start professional consultations on cyber crime. >> let's get back to the facts. you deny this. you know the international community of united states -- >> they did not deny this. they did not prove it. >> are you worried that the proportional response that the white house has suggested is going the happen? >> it's really -- it's not worth, i believe, speculating. if they decided to do something, let them do it. >> so, joe, he says there is no proof. you spent decad

as tragedies like this keep happening in syria the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov tells cnn thatnd of talks on trying to get a cease-fire will take place soon. he sat down to talk about that with christiane amanpour. >> mr. lavrov, i want to show you this picture. >> sure. >> this went viral in august. this is a little boy who has a name. this is not a terrorist. this is a boy who is surrounded and besieged -- >> absolutely. >> -- in aleppo. what do you say to the civilians who are simply asking for the right to not be bombed? that is a war crime, sir. >> it's really a tragedy. and they must insist that the moderates who want to protect them, they must separate themselves from nusra. >> pope francis is also speaking out in a desperate bid to save area's children. cnn's vatican correspondent delia gallagher has more on that. she joins us live from rome. hi, delia. >> hi, carol. just a few hours ago, out in st. peter's square, the pope made an impassioned plea for an immediate cease-fire, he said, an immediate cease-fire in syria, in order to evacuate civilians, and especially chil

with but sergey lavrov has said himself he has no special expectations, no special hopes for this meeting. a spokesman at the u.s. state department said let's not get ahead of ourselves. let's see what comes out of the meeting. this was mark toner and he was asked at a briefing yesterday, okay, what options do you have to change the situation? he said most importantly for us, it is to relieve the humanitarian situation in aleppo, it is to try and stop the fighting in aleppo. but what can we do to change that? he said the possibility of economic sanctions, the possibility -- not economic sanctions, possibility of economic measures, possibly military measures. it's not clear what these may e be, the but it does seem at the moment we're a long way from the united states form ago coalition that can take these kind of actions. so the real hope here is this hope that somehow, under some structure, they can find humanitarian relief inside aleppo. it seems a stretch at the moment, paula. >> but to get to any common ground at the table there, is the threat that perhaps the u.s. or the western coal

i said, hang on, sergei -- sorry. aren't you in favor of democracy and i asked for a show of hands in the room. all those in favor of democracy, please show. you would have thought this was a bit like asking maria von trapp whether she was in favor of rain drops on roses and whiskers on cats and i'm proud to they the entire uk side of the room raised their hands as one to show that democracy was indeed one of our favorite things. but much to my amazement, our opposite number kept their hands on the table and gave us what we diplomats call the hairy eyeball. and of course, it was in a bit of fun. i was winding them up. it was a sense of which my question was semi-satirical. but the exchange was also deeply serious and revealing about the way in which the world has changed or perhaps the way in which it has failed to change. since that moment of exhilaration in 1990, when the berlin wall came down and the soviet union was coming to the end, and some of us -- i was certainly one, really believed that we had come to a mom

. >> you can catch the full interview with sergey lavrov on cnn international at 2:00 p.m. >>> how doeswikileaks stuff and russia play out on the campaign trail? i'm joined by the director of the university of virginia center for politics, larry sabato and david cantonese from "u.s. news and world report." let's start with the wikileaks and the leaked e-mails and john podesta may have been getting a heads-up from the department of justice about investigations into hillary clinton's e-mail server. is this resonating with voters, larry? >> not particularly. but you know, since we are talking about wikileaks leaks, i think you can call this a drip, drip, drip problem for the clinton campaign. you know, everybody knows that in all probability, they are saving some good stuff, probably bits and pieces will leak out all the way to november 8th. so it's a continuing problem in that it's a distraction for the campaign and there may be something really embarrassing in the documents. we need to remember, this is illegal and in a sense, we are all participating in the illegality by discussing it.

secretary kerry spoke to the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov again by phone on saturday.f assad's forces could recapture aleppo, it may well change the course of the war, which is why this is likely to be a brutal battle. arthel. >> kitty logan, thanks. >> so how can this unspeakable carnage stop? the united nations estimates that 275,000 people right now remain trapped in aleppo. can they be saved? joining us now sds jim wallace, international security expert for mit securities program. jim, this is just beyond comprehension. we saw a little boy running from the bombing in a smoke-filled street. right at this moment, families are sitting in dark rooms. they have no electricity. they are waiting for the bombs to fall and wondering if they're going to die, and the world and we are helpless to stop russia and syria. what specifically, if anything, can we do? >> unfortunately, eric, you're right. it's not just a humanitarian crisis. i think it's a set of war crimes. certainly by the syrian government has repeatedly committed war crimes during this war using chemical weapons

russian foreign minister sergei lavrov telling cnn's chris jeong amanpour that there is no proof. >> as i said but it has nothing to be explained by the facts. we have not seen a single fact, a single proof. >> russian president vladimir putin going further, saying the u.s. is pointing the finger at russia to divert attention from what's actually inside the hacked e-mails. >> translator: all the hysteria is aimed at making the american people federal government aboor manipulation of public opinion. everyone is talking about who did it. is that important? who did it? the most important thing is what is inside this information. >> the evidence is mounting. investigators believe russia is behind a cyber attack on a contractor for florida's election system that exposed voter data. this after the u.s. took the rare step friday of publicly naming and shaming russia for hacks of democratic party leaders and institutions. white house press secretary josh earnest not mincing words about rush russia's interests. >> it was interested in attempting to destabilize the political system. >> claimin
