the syrians and russians. the syrian foreign minister after that interview set off, we believe, back it syria. he's been here over the last few days. so the russians and syrians have been talking. i tried to press him in the interview to say, okay, what exactly does this mean. he did go on to talk about using the u.n., u.n. procedures to see this play out. it could have been he meant to say they would put chemical weapons under international control but doesn't directly say at any point. a lot of this needs to be ironed out. andrea, you get the sense the two sides inching towards each other, two sides so mistrustful but there is an awful lot to understand, a lot of detail to get through here. >> keir simmons in moscow, great interview, great job. thank you so much for being with us. joining me now here in our studio, nbc's david gregory, moderator of "meet the press"
