millennial perspective to the daily show. it won t be as much media criticism as it was in recent years. jon stewart loved to make fun of cnn and fox news. when i asked trevor if he s going to be focusing as much on cable news as punch lines he said he will probably just as much at buzz feed or vox for fodder for comedy. he s not a political junkie but he s an information junkie. eager to make barbs or make jokes about entertainment and sports as well as campaign news. he ll have more musical performances on the show. he has ryan adams later this week. and also tried to incorporate more of the concerns that we didn t see as often when jon stewart was leading the show in recent years. he will continue to focus on politics. he has chris christie as his first guest on wednesday as new jersey governor and republican candidate. that will be a chance to see what trevor noah is like sitting down with a big high-profile politician. like i said, it s going to take weeks, months, even years to
the russian military and the u.s. military. of course, the u.s. is leading air strikes against isis positions in syria. so that s been set up. in a sense, they already working together. but to what extent they can forge an agreement about what comes after the syrian civil war is still very much to be decided. of course, very much divided on whether assad should have a role or not after the war ends. matthew chance live for us there in moscow where he has just gone seven minutes past 7:00 on a tuesday morning. thank you, matthew. key adviser to bashir assad says syria welcomes u.s./russian cooperation to stop the fighting there. exclusive to cnn s hala gorani and the russian build-up in syria. whatever russia is sending in order to fight terrorism and the president putin said that we are interested in fighting terrorism and, may i draw the attention of
he wants the country of origin to focus on the issues driving young recruits to isis in the first place. well, let s get more perspective on this now from cnn international diplomatic editor nic robertson who joins us from london. another year, another u.n. obama summit on combating isis and violent extremism. given that last year s gathering does not appear to have changed very much on the ground, what are the expectations for tuesday s meeting? well, i think that perhaps dimed a little in the prospect that does seem to be very ground that has subamericaed from the unga so far towards a political settlement because i think the general acceptance is that unless you get peace and stability on the ground in syria, then that is going to isis is going to be able to continue to use that as magnet to draw people. all the numbers that are being produced or the numbers of people that are going to syria and iraq, attracted by isis, those numbers continue to climb.
for me. jon stewart was not only a late night host but our voice, in many ways our political dad. that weird because dad has left. and now and now it feels like the family has a new step dad, and he s black. it s going to take weeks, months, and maybe even years to fully see and judge trevor noah s version of the show. but think about all the differences that he represents. jon stewart is in his 50s. he was shepherding this show for over a decade. actually more than 15 years. trevor noah, on the other hand, is 31 years old. he brings multi-culturalism to the show. he s on outsider, native of south africa, who brings a millennial perspective to the daily show. it won t be as much as a media criticism show. jon stewart loved to make fun of cnn and fox news.
