but what we understand the consensus emerging is that secretary tillerson will go to moscow with the message that president putin needs to step away from support of bashar al assad and needs to support a cease-fire in syria and needs to help build a political momentum for a transition away from bashar al assad s leadership. now, we re hearing discussion here that this will be perhaps in the form of a window, that this is not an ultimatum directly to president putin, but a window of opportunity, so there is clearly a period of time being built in here quite what the final package of the message will look like is still not clear yet, but that s what we understand so far. all right. nic robertson for us at the g7 meeting. used to be g-8, but russia was disinvited after its foray into ukraine. thank you so much. joining us to discuss all the political action, ellis henican.
