Obama gives Putin his best death stare: Tense moment the world's two most powerful men squared up at the G20 summit in China

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 they have agreed to keep up negotiations over a cease-fire agreement. It comes as Syrian government troops - backed by Russia - resumed their siege of the city of Aleppo.
