and russia have reached an agreement for a cease-fire and southwest syria. those pictures you see where from before they went into their face-to-face meeting. friendly words exchanged. we will go straight to hamburg and the matt miller. what are you hearing? what i am hearing, or what i heard ahead of the meeting, was the two leaders had real admiration for each other. those were not as pleasant words. putin referred to donald trump as his excellency, where as president trump said it was an honor to be speaking with president putin. both said they expected a meetingsoutcome to the and they were only expected to meet for about 30 minutes, but it stretched far be on the two-hour length. they must've had a lot to talk about. remember, this was a small meeting. it was donald trump with rex tillerson and a vladimir putin with a sergey lavrov. the four of them and their translators in the room. vonnie: yes, and we are hearing as well from the ap that there could be some kind of deal reached on syria, with a cease-fire, which we should mention is already in existen

strategy towards syria which is to intervene with some limited cease fire agreements like the one in southwest syria again signed by russia iran russia united states in jordan not syria. as a precursor to a larger intervention elsewhere in syria again i think the pentagon really believes that they are going to be or to stay in syria perhaps still the goal will be regime change ultimately against the assad government but minimally to have a zone of influence within so why would they believe anything else if you know we've been at official and at war in afghanistan for years now we still have troops there it seems the military just gets to stay wherever it wants but twitter and the mainstream media have framed friday's meeting between trump and kootenai as a victory for the russian president saying he quote whine is that a mature way to view international diplomacy and how much do you think that reaction comes from the media's inability to accept the u.s. as an empire was largely checkmated in syria indeed and i think the criticisms of trump i mean trump is doing here presumably as we've just talked a

but the initial reporting was that it was a cease-fire in southwest syria.southwest syria is significant, because that's where the assad regime is. that's not where the chemical weapons attacks are taking place. that's not where the vast majority of civilians are dying. a cease-fire in that area would effectively be a cease-fire that props up the assad regime, which is allied to putin. >> richard -- >> reporter: you want to hear more about the syria deal, the devil is in the details. >> absolutely. thank you for bringing that up. much-needed context. ambassador festanovich, stay with us for a moment, if you can. we have just gotten the playback from that briefing between reporters and rex tillerson and sean spicer. it starts off with rex tillerson. let's 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 w

there was a commitment to deescalation in southwest iraq -- syria by both sides. the u.s. made its point known through president trump about north korea. so i don't think that the president has to let vladimir putin have the first mover advantage by responding directly to him on the interference issue. it is an important issue, fredricka, absolutely. but i don't know if the g20 has to be sullied by a long discussion about the russian interference. the global threats right now from isis to north korea are existential for us and the world. and i think the president's trying to keep the focus there, at least in this venue. >> okay. but then it is customary for a leader of a nation to have kind of a wrap up press conference, just as we saw in putin, we saw in angela merkel, macron did it as well. even the turkey president did. but absent in this effort was donald trump. his predecessors have done so. so it's an issue of what has been customary. and, you know, donald trump bucking the trend on this. and you don't find that unusual? >> i feel that the evidence of this g20 summit

number two, it's in southwest syria. again, any cease-fire in syria is a good thing.e isn't a whole heck of a lot of fighting and certainly not a lot of isis. so we need to bear in mind the localities. and number three, we've been to this movie before, and the russians don't always have the same idea of who is a terrorist or vice versa. so these things off times break down. i hope that's not the case, but we'll have to see. again, the devil is in the details. >> there have been other cease-fires that the u.s. and russia have been involved with over the last few years and they have not worked. why would this one be any different? >> i don't think it's going to be any different. as the admiral says, this is not an area of critical importance, but there is fighting going on and there is an isis group there. but we see fighting three ways. you've got the regime, isis, and the free syrian army. any cease-fire is good, but the important point here is that the russians and the americans are now talking to each other, talking to each other at high levels, and that's how this

and russia will establish a cease fire and de-escalation in southwest syria. e pact, which goes into effect this sunday, is designed to cool off tensions while the battle against isis continues and the political solution to syria is put in place. common ground, north korea proved elusive. russia and china want to freeze north korea's nuclear program where it is for the united states wants to roll it way back. russian and chinese cooperation is crucial if the world hopes to avoid a potential war with north korea. >> i call it the peaceful pressure campaign. a lot of people like to characterize it otherwise. but this to the campaign to lead us to a peaceful resolution. because if this fails, we don't have very good options left. >> president trump will revisit north korea in his meeting with chinese president xi ji-ping. >> it's great to be with my friends, the president of mexico. >> and another meeting today, president trump was conformist o meet a meeting that he was not -- >> are you going to make mexico pay for the law >> absolutely, said the president, almo

beginning with you, you know, this headline, hearing from secretary tillerson, confirming in southwest syriase-fire, referred to it as deescalation. what's the significance of the cease-fire? >> well, if the cease-fire were to hold in that part of syria and then were to spread, it would be very -- it would be extraordinarily important because this is one of the worst conflicts, which has created so much human suffering and these great migrations into europe and a lot of the issues about immigration in our public, so this is very significant. we'll just have to wait and see. i think when it comes to syria and russia, one should always be cautious and not overplay it. we have to wait and see. the russians are very wily on this. and the russians play a long game here. they intend to stay in the middle east. they intend to have a lot of significance. they intend to be a major player there. and i'm sure if they're doing this in this cooperation way, they say there's something in it for them. it is to some degree a win for president trump if this is serious. it will be seen as a win for him, that

during the two-hour meeting, the two discussed a ceasefire in parts of southwest syria, whether russia intervened in the 2016 u.s. election, and a plan -- which trump is already backing away from -- to form a joint cyber r security team to work against election hacking. on sunday, trump tweeted -- "i strongly pressed president putin twice about russian meddling in our election. he vehemently denied it. i've already given my opinion." followowing the memeeting, russn presidident putitin said trumpmd accepted his denial of election interference. >> our position is well-known. i have spoken about it. there are no grounds to believe russia interfered with the election process in the united states. asks a lot of questions about this issue. i answer these as well as i could. it seems to me he accepted it and agreed, but you're better off asking himim what hehe thout about t it. amy: trump is now backpedaling on the plan to form a joint cyber security unit with russia, after facing widespread backlash over the weekend, including from south carolina republican senator lindsey graham. >> the du

the associated press reporting about the agreement of a cease-fire in southwest syria, as of this weekend >> reporter: right yeah, syria one of the issues that we did expect the two leaders to discuss there's so much effort going on between the rupssian side and te u.s. side in terms of decon felix in syria both the u.s. and russian militaries operating in very tight borders, supporting different sides in that conflict the potential for accidental contact or conflict between the u.s. and russian sides is a very dangerous thing. so both sides have been anxious to come up with some agreement that could prevent anything dangerous from happening there and maybe bring some resolution to what's going on in syria. but other topics include, obviously, north korea, international trade, the russians wanted to talk about the sanctions that the united states has on russia they've very much objected to those. and it's not clear where the united states is going to go going forward, and also some of those compounds that the russians have inside the united states and that the u.s. government has taken ba
