Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin have met for 'pull-aside' meetings at the G20 summit in China but failed to agree on a solution to the Syrian civil war.
Washington and Moscow support opposing sides in the bloody five-year conflict, which has left 300,000 people dead and forced millions to flee.
The two leaders discussed Syria at closed multilateral meetings but could not reach a deal to ease fighting in the war-torn region.
But in their final face-to-face meeting before Obama leaves office in January next year, they agreed to keep up negotiations over a cease-fire agreement.
Speaking today Obama said have a 'candid, blunt, business like meeting' during what a senior US administration official said was a 'constructive meeting'.
It comes as Syrian government troops - backed by Russia - resumed their siege of the city of Aleppo.

Tense: Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama failed to agree on a solution to the Syrian civil war

A deal to provide aid to Aleppo's ravaged civilians and at least partially stop Russian and Syrian bombardments had looked likely on Sunday, before talks collapsed.
Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov had been trying to broker a deal for weeks that would curb the violence between Assad's government forces and rebel forces backed by the US.
The agreement hinged on the two sides agreeing to closer militarily coordination against extremist groups operating in Syria.
But Obama expressed skepticism that Russia would hold to its agreement and talks were overtaken by developments on the ground.

Stand off: Obama expressed skepticism that Russia would keep to its side of the agreement




State media said Syrian government troops had taken an area south of Aleppo, severing the last opposition-held route into its eastern neighbourhoods.
He said today: 'We are back in a situation where Assad is bombing without impunity and strengthening Nusra's position to recruit people for terrorism and that's a dangerous dynamic.
'We want to have productive discussions that would allow us both to focus on our common enemies like ISIS but there are gaps of trust and we haven't yet closed the gap.
'We will keep working at it over the next several days. The faster we can provide relief the better off we will be and we can have a serious conversation about this involving all the parties who are involved in Syria.'
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan today said he had urged world powers at a G20 meeting to set up a 'safe zone' in Syria where there would be no fighting and which could help stem migrant flows from the Arab nation.
Speaking in China, Erdogan said he had repeated a proposal for a 'no-fly zone' in Syria during his talks with Putin and Obama.

Away from Syria, he also discussed Ukraine and said until the Minsk Agreement was implemented the US would not pull down their sanctions with Russia.
He said it was important for both sides over the next few weeks to seize the opportunity to finalize the agreement.
The president said he expressed concerns about cyber security issues with Mr Putin, but would not detail the discussions.

Unofficial meeting: They have agreed to keep up negotiations over a cease-fire agreement

Washington has repeatedly said that Assad must step down in order for a lasting peace deal.
Turning up the heat in recent weeks, the White House has gone as far as to suggest Moscow is complicit in war crimes.
'You have the Assad regime which has been killing its own citizens with impunity, supported by the Russians and the Iranians,' Obama said on Sunday.
He added: 'Our conversations with the Russians are key because if it were not for the Russians, then Assad and the regime would not be able to sustain its offensive.
'But it is worth trying. To the extent that there are children and women and innocent civilians who can get food and medical supplies and get some relief from the constant terror of bombings, that's worth the effort.'
The failure to reach a deal is likely to heap pressure on Obama over his handling of the war in Syria.
Obama came to office vowing not to repeat the mistakes of his predecessor George Bush, who launched disastrous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But as he prepares to leave office, critics claim Obama's failure to intervene in Syria has had similarly bloody results, allowing the conflict to fester for years.

as he vowed not to be lectured by the US leader on human rights when they meet in Laos.


I wonder if he realizes just how accurate he was?

Trump says China has shown 'disrespect' for President Obama, Donald Trump says he would have refused to meet with Chinese officials if they treated him like they treated President Barack Obama over the weekend.

The Republican presidential nominee highlighted the issue as he met with labor leaders Monday for a roundtable discussion in suburban Cleveland.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump highlighted an awkward row on the tarmac as President Barack Obama landed in China over the weekend, saying "it's a sign of such disrespect." "If that were me, I would say, you know what folks, I respect you a lot but I would close the doors," and get out of there, he said. China on Monday leveled responsibility at the United States and journalists for a fracas at a Chinese airport, in which officials of both countries exchanged heated remarks as President Barack Obama disembarked from his aircraft. Shortly after Obama's plane landed in the eastern city of Hangzhou, a Chinese official attempted to prevent his national security adviser Susan Rice from walking to the motorcade as she crossed a media rope line, speaking angrily to her before a Secret Service agent stepped between the two. The altercation occurred out of sight of Obama, who greeted ambassadors and other officials before the presidential motorcade pulled away with Rice.

Donald Trump said Monday that he would have left the G-20 summit in China over a logistical flap that left President Obama disembarking Air Force One onto a plain metal staircase.

Trump noted the fiasco on the airport tarmac when President Barack Obama arrived in China last week and they “won’t even give him proper stairs” to exit Air Force One.

Donald Trump called out China for their lack of proper stairs during President Obama's visit, saying that "it's a sign of such disrespect."
