your 401(k) is going up or down in the latest effort to save the euro zone and how it impacts your bottom line. we begin with what you would have to call tonight's picture of frustration. president obama, vladimir putin looked grim after a two-hour meeting that apparently did nothing to head off an even bigger bloodbath in syria. another 68 people died there today adding to an overall death toll now estimated to be above 13,000. at the same time, a ship thought to be carrying russian attack helicopters now stopped off scotland after earlier being en route to syria. the pentagon also suspects russian troops may be heading to syria aboard other ships. yet after their meeting, the first meeting since president putin returned to the presidency, this is all president obama had to say. >> we agreed that we need to see a cessation of the violence, that a political process has to be created to prevent civil war and the kind of horrific deaths that we've seen over the last several weeks, and we pledge to work with other international actors, including the united nations, kofi annan, and all interested parties in trying to find a resolution to this problem. >> heard the president's tone there. well, the president's overseas at a summit, senator john mccain says the very least, usair power should be protecting safe havens for the syrian opposition. senator mclain says the united states is not leading. >> when it comes to the administration's policy toward syria, to say they are leading from behind is too generous. that suggests they are leading. they're just behind. >> cnn white house correspondent dan lothian is with the president at the g-20 summit in mexico. dan, the president said the meeting was cordial. the state department dictionary, cordial, the talks were candid and frank. white house officials say don't read too much into the body language. hearing the president's tone, any reason to believe this meeting went anything other than it appeared? >> no, not at all. yes, in fact, you know, white house aides saying it was business like, that it was cordial. they did talk about some of their differences nonetheless and talked about areas where they do have things in common, areas of agreement. but as you pointed out, i mean, the body language tells a lot of the story here. they spent about a third of that meeting talking about syria, and then when they came out to make these brief remarks, there was very little interaction. there was space between them. president obama leaning in. president putin leaning away. at the very end, you saw kind of a half smile on the face of president putin. a quick handshake and then a pat on the shoulder from president obama. as you pointed out though, white house aides sort of trying to move our focus away from the body language saying that this is how putin is, and they're giving that yes, in fact, in the past, president obama did enjoy a very good relationship with former president medvedev but that's a different kind of personality and this is a new style we have to get used to. >> it would be easier to move away from the body language and the terse tone of that meeting if we had something concrete to grab. the president said the two agreed that you need a political transition in syria. if the russians don't agree assad needs to step down, what kind of transition are we talking about. >> we asked ta to white house aides. they said they did discuss different strategies to coming to zoom kind of political transition although they never gave us any details. they pointed out while the u.s. is focused on assad having to step aside, the russians are looking at a much broader political process. they're asking questions such as what happens when president assad steps aside. and in fact, according to white house aides they brought up examples like egypt. look what happened in egypt. so that is the biggest concern for them, not necessarily one person but what fills that vacuum. >> dan lothian at the g-209 with the president in mexico. thanks. we'll stay on top of the story. as we mentioned the united states now believes russian troops may be heading towards syria. pentagon correspondent barbara starr is with us. slight hitch to this russian mission though, right? >> in detente, a russian cargo ship believed to be carrying some of those attack helicopters that we have seen be the center of much of the controversy right now, that ship has been stopped off the coast of scotland. the london insurer canceled the maritime insurance for that ship. there's a european union embargo. you can't carry weapons to syria and be insured by a european country. the maritime insurance has been canceled. the ship now will likely return to its home port in russia because it can't really dock anywhere all the way to syria. that's where they believed it was headed. key but small victory. it keeps at least three m ty-25 russian helicopters from going to syria. helicopters that are very much used in some of these attack operations from the air, john. >> and barbara, one who doesn't follow sort of the geopolitical importance of syria to the russians might hear russian troops heading to syria and think they're going on a combat mission. explain if they go what it would be about. >> at this point, i don't think anyone in the administration believes the russian troops are headed for a combat mission. a small number of troops likely to go, likely to at best reinforce or defend the russian military presence at a key syrian port called tartus on the mediterranean. this is the real strategic importance to russia. they want access to this port on the mediterranean to remain in their hands. they don't want it to be interrupted. this gives the russians the strategic and political advantage of having a port in the mediterranean and that is a gateway to the entire middle east for them. john? >> barbara starr on the strategic importance tracking developments at the pentagon. all of this begs the question, whether the u.s./russian relationship and president obama and putin can reach an agreement here. david gergen, i just want to start of with the pictures. you've advised four u.s. presidents and you know, the white house always says when the meeting doesn't go well, don't pay attention to the body language. look at these pictures. putin is leaning away with the stone face. i remember it well from covering him back in the jrnlg w bush administration. he had a much more friendly relationship with george w. bush. you can see it in the president's face. you could hear it in the tone of his words. this is not a working relationship at the moment, is it. >> it is not a working relationship. and it's been an enormous source of frustration for the administration. as you know, the obama is team came in promising to hit the reset button with russia. in the beginning it seemed to be working. obama had a an excellent relationship with medvedev. the two saw themselves as risings members of a young generation that was going to transform the world. and they made some progress on some issues. but now with putin in, we have this authoritarian that many in washington regard as a real thug. obama clearly doesn't like him. putin has no real love for obama. more importantly, it's not just the body language. it's not just the personal animosity. it is the fact that the russians are blocking any real effort or net success in getting assad out of office. this is a -- syria is a foot hold for the russians on diplomacy in the middle east as you know. as long as they continue to reinforce assad, it makes it very difficult. we want assad out of there in part because it would be a real blow to iran. this is starting to flare up in american politics. that speech by mccain today was important. >> he says the president's not leading at all, not leading from behind. that was a reference to what many people said from the libyan conflict. he said he's just behind. senator mccain made a pointed reference to the role of the russians here. let's listen. >> they are doing enormous damage to their image in the arab world harming themselves dramatically. we're going to have to take a much more realistic view of our relationship with russia and our ability to do business with them. >> define what a more realistic view of our relationship with russia would be, david. you hear mitt romney saying this from time to time on the campaign trail, as well. they have a vote toe on the security council, critical when it comes to the north korea question. sometimes they are critical critical when it comes to the iran question. now had he are front and center on the syria question. how do you redefine the relationship? >> it's going to be very tricky. we do have other things that we do with the russians for example with our difficult getting into afghanistan now from pakistan through the roads there. we've been able to work with the russians to have more access from the north. that's been helpful to us. but in syrian issue i think is -- has a real chance to become a conflagration point in the american political election because mitt romney all along has taken a very hard line toward russia. he has said it's the greatest security threat to the united states. many experts have scoffed at that notion. they just don't agree with it, but now that the russians so clearly are blocking us and nato in syria, you know, this -- there's going to be more conversation. i think the mccain statement today is the beginning, not the end, of what could be a very controversial point. there are a lot of people who are in the human rights movement after all who would like to see the u.s. take more of a lead as we have. they ask, how can you defend what we did in libya, which was the right thing to do with what's going on in our inaction in syria where far more people are getting killed and a far greater strategic interest to the united states. and you know, american officials have to answer except to say it's very hard. >> no answer except to say we're going to continue to try a diplomatic process na so far has failed miserably. appreciate your insights always, david. keep looking for the answer. i'm not sure it's out there. the greek elections seems to have regulators breathing a sigh of relief. what it could mean for your 401(k). and later, better than 700% increase in what some people consider the online censership. stay in the moment sanya focus lolo, focus let's do this i am from baltimore south carolina... bloomington, california... austin, texas... we are all here to represent the country we love this is for everyone back home it's go time. across america, we're all committed to team usa. >> announcer: this is the day. the day that we say to the world of identity thieves "enough." we're lifelock, and we believe you have the right to live free from the fear of identity theft. our pledge to you?

>> you're absolutely right. guarantees nothing at all because what has to happen in greece is a coles has to be formed and i'm hearing tonight that the parties are quite close to actually putting that together. and on tuesday, probably will announce some form of coalition. but then they have to go to brussels and ask for some relief, if you like breathing space from the austerity, the crushing austerity that the country's been under. and then they have to actually implement many of the reforms. >> and so let me play selfish american here. as an american investor watches this play out, the markets pretty flat today. they started up and seemed to say let's watch this for i an couple days. when? is there a date on the calendar whether we should know at least with greece you're getting stens in the right direction or do we not know? >> there are, i would hesitate to say, i could tell you the 27th, 2th of june when there's a european summit. i could tell you the middle of august when greek bonds are due to be rolled over and paid off. i could tell you dates ad nauseum up towards christmas, but the truth is, it is a question of confidence. and it is only when the markets believe that this weird combination of country, commission, ecb, are all have built a fire wall and have got -- i mean, to put it crudely, john, in the way in the states that the u.s. did with t.a.r.p. and the stimulus package and yes, there were some problems, but they got their hands round the throat and neck of the problem. that has not yet happened in europe. and that is what until we see that, that is what is lacking. >> and so, there's a child's game here in the states called whack a mole. one comes up, you hit it, another one comes up when you think you've solved that. if greece goes forward in a big way, what is the next big question? is it spain, somewhere else? >> whack-a-mole is a very good analogy. one sometimes does wonder. i'll give you an example. it is monday night in greece. so bang. we've just managed to knock down the greece question of a coalition. but over there, suddenly spain's interest rates are up by 7% or up up 7% and italy's are up, as well. behind us we've got questions of whether spain, portugal and ireland would want to renegotiate. and we have terrible industrial production numbers elsewhere in the eurozone. and we have the euro under pressure. and we have -- and you get the idea. so whack-a-mole is a great analogy albeit crude and some might say insensitive, but that's exactly what they're engaged with at the moment literally seeing if they can manage to get the next one before it comes up above the par pa parat. >>. >> richard quest, thank you. see egypt's presidential election, why the eventual winner may not have much power at all. plus, what's behind the big increase in what some critics see as censorship by google. hello bobby. do you know you could save hundreds on car insurance over the phone, online or at your local geico office?
