Obama and Putin Have Another Sideline Meeting

Barrack Obama and Vladimir Putin had another 'off the script' meeting today at the climate summit in Paris. The two discussed a number of issues including the events that have taken place in the Middle East.  This comes weeks after their last meeting at the G20 Summit where the two addressed the ISIS attacks in Paris.  

During the half-hour long meeting, Obama addressed the downing of a Russian Su-27 over Turkey and expressed regret.

Obama requested that Putin keep airstrikes in Syria aimed at ISIS militants rather than rebels fighting against Bashar Assad.
