the press conference with sergey lavrov and vladimir putin, sergey lavrov repeated three times the agreement reached with mr john kerry is to have conversations in the united syrian opposition with the president bashar al-assad. this is a new development. it has never been discussed before. it looks like it's a new achievement in the russian u.s. flegs. it looks tactically like it's been supported by the american side. >> vladimir putin painted a rosy picture of the economy. is that wishful thinking and do the russian peel believe him. on one hand he's corrects. for several months he allowed a food study to grow. in november, russian output went doing. and the crisis that was mentioned. it's ahead of us again. it's important to look how russian population ractedz to the words. today an opinion poll has been published. 80% of russian people think that russia is in the midst of the crisis. >> ukraine has all but been forgotten. i know you've said this the world does that at his own peril. you believe it would agree with the middle east and other members of the soviet bloc. >> correct, and vlad

sergei lavrov held a press conference with his qatari counter part. >> translator: we discussed in detailhat is necessary to be done, to implement the agreements on the syrian settlement, that was reached on the framework of the international support group in syria, and the u.n. security council. >>> we agree with russian party that the worsening of this crisis has benefited the interests of neither party. we are aware that the delays in the solution of this crisis is harmful to all of the parties, and first of all to the syrian people. >>> a syrian academic and writer and associate analyst at the doha institute here in qatar. he says the most important issue is the future of bashar al-assad. >> once again it shows that the two sides are still having big differences. because we know that the russians, as sergei lavrov hazem fa sized many times, that there are differences on the future of president bashar al-assad. there are also differences on who is -- in defining who is the terrorist in syria. because the russians want to include all of the armed groups that are fighting bashar al-assad

kerry sitting down with sergei lavrov and shaking hands this morning.e meets with president putin in five hours. the situation in syria not the only item on kerry's agenda. russ russia's military in ukraine is an item for him to discuss as well. let's bring in cnn's jill dougherty in moscow with more. >> reporter: isis is an issue for one, but the other is the details of the political transition that both sides of the united states and russia are trying to work toward. there will be a big meeting in new york on friday to that purpose. so, right now, secretary kerry has met with sergei lavrov, his counterpart, then he will go to the kremlin where he will meet with president putin. that's where the united states certainly hopes to get a lot more clarity on precisely where president putin thinks this is all going. one of the key issues of course is the fate of syrian president assad and the definition of who is a terrorist and who is not. there has been a lot of debate back and forth about that. the russians initially calling everybody but isis, let's say

the fresh accusations follow a brief call earlier in the day when russian thing -- foreign minister sergey lavrov refused to sit down with his turkish counterpart. the latest accusations are bound to make difficult an agreement between the two countries, which have been at loggerheads since turkey shot down a russian plane for allegedly entering its airspace 10 days ago, and with moscow defending economic and military -- ourerine: let's bring in guest for a closer look at where the islamic state group gets its money from. you are a security specialist. hopefully, you are well placed to tell us a bit more about this issue. one key question, i think, is how much money do we think the islamic state group is likely to oil?rning from >> you can't say exactly. you have many figures. what is probably right is that trafficking in oil is about 25% of the resources, about 25% of the resources. all the figures that you can find -- catherine: so, it is very hard to measure. >> yes, but i think that is changing every day. there is a fight against trafficking in oil, which gives results. tracks from the

earlier today we had secretary of state john kerry meet with the foreign minister of russia, sergei lavrovthat was a meeting that wasn't even scheduled. the major meeting was supposed to start around 8:30 this morning. russia and the u.s. took to the side to start hammering out a couple of key words. transition was the word. russia has always blocked any resolution that would see assad go. u.s. has always said that is the important thing. the u.s. is definitely softening on this. and soon -- about a half our hour from now, kerry will sit down with the iranian foreign minister. so you have top leadership. kerry will then go to the security council and push forward what will hopefully be a resolution. >> reporter: courtney you have rivals coming together at the same table today. what are some of the sticking points here? >> reporter: well, tony, like i said you have the iranians, the russians, the u.s. just for starters. you have got the saudi arabia also at the table, which often does not see eye to eye with iran. so this is the third round of talks. the momentum as samantha power has said,

sergei lavrov met his turkish counterpart for talks, the first face-to-face contact between the two countries since the start of the crisis. luries an time, turkish are backed up. >> thousands of striking workers in greece have taken their anger at the country's economic depression to the national parliament. the square filled with demonstrators earlier. some masked individuals threw petrol bombs at riot police. they called the walk out and protest of the austerity mppings. -- measures. it has more in the pipeline. these are one of the conditions of its latest international bailout. >> the corruption scandal at fifa is deepening. two more officials have been arrest today, while 16 more defendants are reportedly ready to be indicted by the u.s. on wednesday. two were detained in predawn raids. switzerland's federal office of justice is asking for them to be extradited. the pair took money in return for selling futbol marketing rights. >> fifa's meeting couldn't have been more timely. just hours after two of its leading officials were arrested on suspicion of taking millions of dollars in bribe

then there were the negotiations behind closed doors. ,e heard from sergei lavrov who said that the focusf the but that other, things should be focused on as well. he spent a little bit of time talking about the islamic state, saying that their influence is growing in afghanistan and yemen and that that needs to be looked at two. his counterpart, secretary of state john kerry, agreed on the .mportance he'd knowledge russia's role of significance in contributing to this route along the syria path thehat he hopes is in case world benefits with powerful countries finding common ground and he hopes that common ground can be found today. of course, this is a step in a long road to what was hoped to be a post-conflict syria. the reason this meeting has been called today is because there will be another meeting expected on friday. there are a number of significant stumbling blocks between these two major players, the u.s. and russia, that need to be ironed out, apparently. annette: the biggest stumbling block, of course, is what to do with president assad. >> well, that's absolutely right. we ha

will be part of the political settlement, the third stage of this, which is going be convened by sergey lavrov, the foreign minister in new york, tomorrow and friday. >> not budging when it comes to turkey, he lashed out at the turks. what is the resolution there. did he put anything forward as far as that is concerned in. >> i think, really, it's an icebox. no one is going near, despite the fact that the turkish president would like to sit and diffuse the issue, and n.a.t.o. is sending advisors and air force personal to ensure that turkey doesn't take any dangerous action against a russian aircraft in the area. and vladimir putin was very, very open, and really threatened turkey. he said basically we have moved the air defense system into syria. and that is the most advanced air defense system in the world, picking up aircraft 400km away. it is fully operational speaking to the turkish president. do not attempt to fly into syrian air space, as russia's position as the power broker, everyone wonders the impact that this is likely to have on ukraine. he was saying that it's an economic d
