(Daily Telegraph) Vladimir Putin hosts US Secretary of State in the Kremlin
--Rex Tillerson's motorcade arrived at the Kremlin around 4 PM London time, and he has been speaking to Mr Putin for nearly an hour. The meeting follows a day of talks between Mr Tillerson and his Russian counterpart, foreign minister Sergei Lavrov, as Washington and Moscow seek to defuse a simmering confrontation over the Syrian government's use of chemical weapons.

Top of the agenda will be US demands that Mr Putin ditch his ally Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president who the US have accused of using chemical weapons on civilians in a horrific attack last week.

Mr Putin is unlikely to bow to those demands - and will likely demand assurances that there will be no repeat of the US missile strikes on a Syrian airbase on April 7.

Mr Tillerson is the first official from Donald Trump's administration to meet Mr Putin face to face. So no pressure.

(Daily telegraph) Allegations that Russia interfered in US election are "not proven"
--Mr Lavrov says the allegations of Moscow's meddling in the US presidential election haven't been proven. He said Moscow hasn't seen "a single fact, or even a hint at facts" proving the U.S. allegations of Russian interference. He added that Russia would consider such facts, if they are provided. Russia has called the allegations "slanderous".
