The U.S. and Russia are nearing agreement to coordinate strikes against Islamic extremists in Syria and impose a cease-fire that would halt President Bashar al-Assad's attacks on the moderate opposition and civilians in his war-shattered country.

U.S. President Barack Obama is continuing his diplomatic slog in China on Sunday, meeting with counterparts from the United Kingdom and Turkey -- two essential U.S. allies -- as each leader confronts widespread internal strife back home.

Vladimir Putin said the hacking of thousands of Democratic National Committee emails and documents was a service to the public, but denied U.S. accusations that Russia's government had anything to do with it.

Behind the forced smiles and obligatory handshakes that mark what could be President Barack Obama's final encounters with Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Vladimir Putin this Sunday at the G20 lurks one undeniably inconvenient reality: These days, more divides Russia and Turkey from the United States than unites them.

Top House Democrats on Tuesday asked the FBI to investigate a possible connection between Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and suspected computer hacks by the Russian government.

A firm run by Donald Trump's campaign chairman directly orchestrated a covert Washington lobbying operation on behalf of Ukraine's ruling political party, attempting to sway American public opinion in favor of the country's pro-Russian government, emails obtained by The Associated Press show. Paul Manafort and his deputy, Rick Gates, never disclosed their work as foreign agents as required under federal law.
The leader of Lebanon's Hezbollah group has accused the U.S. and President Barack Obama of creating the Islamic State group, using the words of presidential hopeful Donald Trump as proof.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Barack Obama shake hands for the cameras before the start of a bilateral meeting at the United Nations headquarters September 28, 2015 in New York City. Few U.S. officials in 2011 could have imagined Syria would look this bad for the U.S. in 2016.
As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton basked in a diplomatic "Moscow Spring," seizing on Vladimir Putin's break from the presidency to help seal a nuclear arms-control treaty and secure Russia's acquiescence to a NATO-led military intervention in Libya.

The head of WikiLeaks opened up to the comedian about how he hacked the DNC and why the organization hasn't targeted Trump yet. The head of WikiLeaks , still banished to the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, has come under fire by U.S. intelligence officials-and even NSA leaker Edward Snowden, who criticized the organization's "hostility to even modest curation"-for not just his troubling anti-Semitic streak or lingering rape accusation, but also that they are probably doing the work of Russia in releasing thousands upon thousands of Democratic National Committee emails, thereby tilting the U.S. presidential election towards former reality star Donald Trump, whose campaign has very deep ties to Vladimir Putin.
