Kerry says talks near end on anti-ISIS cooperation with Moscow

US Secretary of State John Kerry said on Monday that talks between the United States and Russia on military cooperation in the fight against Islamic State in Syria were nearing an end, with technical teams meeting this week to discuss details. “It is my hope that we are reaching the end of those discussions one way or another," he told a  news conference during a visit to Kenya, adding it was “very likely that Foreign Minister (Sergei) Lavrov and I would meet… depending where we are in the next couple of days.”
