You are seeing US Secretary of State John Kerry on the left and Russian foreign minister ? on the right.
The men in Switzerland late last week to talk about Syrian supply of chemical weapons, they came up with steps for Syria to hand over control of those weapons. Here is the plan.step 1 ,within one week Syria has to offer a comprehensive list of all of its chemical weapons; step 2 international inspectors must be in Syria no later than November and step 3 all the Syrian chemical weapon materials must be destroyed be the middle of next year. This deal would prevent a military strike against Syria. The Secretary Kerry says the threat of force is still an option to make sure Syria follows through. Groups in Syria that are opposed to the country's government aren't sure that would happen, they say the government has a long history of anti promises, and US senator John MaCain says he and some of these colleagues don't believe the deal over Syria's chemical weapons would do anything resolve that country's civil war.
