ROMANS: U.S. officials say Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian President Vladimir Putin meet face-to-face this morning in Sochi. CNN senior international correspondent Matthew Chance is in Moscow for us this morning, giving us a look at a peak at what's on the agenda. There are no shortage of things for these two to talk about. It has been a while since this has been a high level face-to-face meeting.</s>MATTHEW CHANCE, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Yes, that's night. John Kerry hasn't been to Russia since 2013, which is astonishing given the state of relations between Moscow and Washington. Also, areas of dispute from Ukraine crisis, of course, the sanctions that have been imposed by Washington on Russia over its alleged involvement in Ukraine. NATO expansion as well is also a real kind of thorn in the side of relations as it were between Moscow and Washington. All of those threaten the cooperation that exists between the countries in various other areas in international diplomacy on Syria, on Iran, on Yemen. They have to cooperate, particularly at U.N. Security Council to try and get things done in that arena. So, I think what we are seeing now is perhaps a first step by the United States to try to move toward normalizing the relationship. John Kerry will be meeting with Vladimir Putin, as well as the Russian foreign minister later on today. And, you know, I think we can look at that as a potentially good sign, whether it is reciprocated or not is a different question.</s>ROMANS: Altogether a different question indeed. Thank you for that, Matthew Chance, in Moscow for us this morning.</s>BERMAN: All right. Our breaking news this morning: a new major earthquake has hit Nepal.
