More details. Not surprisingly, syria topped the agenda when john kerry met his british counterpart, thephon secretary, at his residence and after the meeting, kerry said they discussed ways to push for a political solution to the syrian conflict in what he calls this moment where russia appears to be more committed to doing more against isil. The reference to what kerry believes is a common aim between the rest and russia defeating isil, particularly through airstrikes. At the same time, he said he was concerned about the prospect of russia increasing its military support for president assad with russian fighter jets already in the country. He might have made a small concession when he said that president assad didnt have to go on day 1 or month 1 but he insisted that assad did not have part of the political future.

We have been open, made it very clear that we are not being doctorineaire about the specific date or time but right now, assad has refused to have a serious discussion. Russia has refused to help brim them to the table in order to do that. So thats why we are where we are.

The decision to reinstate him comes after mediation talks between the coup leader and the president of beneen and senegal. Lets speak to those at the capitol. First, nicholas, give us a clear idea of what we know. Do we know when exactly he is going to be reinstated . Is it as of now . Whats actually come out . Well, we dont know exactly when. This announcement natural press conference after two days of negotiations, the discussions were over and in the press conference, its interesting to note that the new president said that it had an agreement until spirit. He was keen to praise the general. We dont know whats going to happen next. We dont know whats going to happen with the man in the group. We have no more news about the Prime Minister who is still being held. All we know is that the president of the Transitional Government is going to be reinstated. There are still a lot of questions and there are people on the ground that are concerned. Their main concern is to put them back on their feet. Nicholas, obviously, since the president and the Prime Minister were detained, i think it was wednesday by the countrys coup leaders, we have seen clashes in the country. There have been death did, injuries. Whats the situation like now . Do you get the sense things are still tense . I am right in the center of town right now. You can hear members of the president ial guard patrolling and, you know, the fear of the people is that they have been robbed for this opportunity. They have had only one leader. There was a lot that took place scheduled to happen. Nicholas joining us live from ondoduben. I know you have been monitoring events for us for the moment. Thank you. The head of the Roman Catholic church has arrived in havana at the start of a 9day tour of cuba and the United States. Pope francis will spend 4 days in cuba, before then, flying on to washington, d. C. Its his first visit to either of the countries. He is credited with helping bring about relations between the two former cold war rivals. Joining us now from washington, d. C. Is michael from the Organization Engage Cuba which has campaigned against the u. S. Embargo of cuba. Thank you so much for joining us here onnays. We do know that pope francis it was our pleasure. We know that pope francis played a pistol role in bringing the two countries and two leaders together. What else do you think he could do during this visit in cuba and the u. N. Top, i guess, make it at a time even closer . There are several things that we are looking forward to seeing. In cuba, we saw that the cuban government had already released or has announced that they plan to release over 3,000 prisoners just as a sign of humanitarian good will knowing that the pope was coming. We expect there will be more measures of human rights and humanitarian gestures on the island while he is there. Then he will be coming to the u. S. , and there are two very important things he will be doing here in terms of politics. One is that he will address a joint session excuse me of congress where the embargo is codified and we expect on him to call on our lawmakers to lift the embargo. Then, em be addressing the u. N. We think that will also be an opportunity for him talking about this reconciliation between the u. S. And cuba and how this could be a model for other areas of the world that are in conflict. We have certainly seen pope francis, certainly a man who speaks his mind. It will be interesting to hear the speeches at the u. N. How much sway do you think he actually holds in either country, cuba and the u. S. . Thinking now just of the politicians with the general public. I think its enormous. Not just within the catholic community. For example, in cuba, there are other religious communities that are looking forward to his visit. For example, in the miami herald, there was a piece about a jewish leader who is planning on attending mass there. She is excited about the visit. This is the guy that is really garnering support from all sectors, and we see similar attitudes in the u. S. As well. And, he is, of course, the first latin american pope. He is arrangentiniaargentinian. What effect do you think that will have . Thinking, also, in the u. S. It will have a very important effect for the Hispanic Community and the u. S. He actually is planning on conducting several meetings in the u. S. Is in spanish. I think the message of him doing so will say loads about the connections that are throughout our hemisphere, cultural, lingui linguistic, social and political. He is a figure that kind of und underlies the ties the ties between u. S. And latin america. Because he seems so outspo n outspoken, i guess a lot of his statements havent gone downwell. He has spoken about Climate Change and its the responsibility of everyone, especially the wealthy countries to do their share to change it. How much sway do you think he is going to have in congress because he does present, perhaps, a different view of religion than some other people. You are right. Thats an issue that has been devise i have. I am glad you asked that question. I think that the mere symbolism of having the head of the Catholic Church speaking where normally only the president of the United States gets to address a joint session of congress will also speak loads about his abilitity to influence our lawmakers. I really do think he has sway with them. They will definitely be interesting speeches to follow. For the moment, mikel maso speaking to us from washington. Thank you. Still ahead, they were forced from their homes, but now these children in nigeria are getting a chance to rebuild their lives. We are going to tell you how. Plus i am Charles Stratford reporting from a maternity clinic in northern ethiopia where the work of women is a development army, saving mothers and babies lives.

For the fighting in yemen has displayed one and a half Million People and 21 million are in need of humanitarian assistance. Oxfams head of programs for yemen has just returned from the wartorn country. I think what is really most astonishing is the level of destruction wrought, one, by the Ground Fighting that we are seeing in places like taiz and previously in aden but also by the airstrikes which have been relentless for almost six months now and targeted a lot of civilian infrastructure including hospitals, roads, markets, seaports, airports, water systems, et cetera. So we are seeing a devastation of the country which is basically being brought to its knees.
