Obama and Putin seek civic path for Syria despite tensions
Obama and Putin urged a political transition in Syria while avoiding a direct call for Assad's ouster. They spoke at the G20 talks, noting shared aims for a ceasefire and a democratic process, but gave no clear plan to end four decades of Assad rule, with Syria's civil war continuing. The UN paused its monitoring mission, signaling pressure on Russia to back a renewed approach.

Administration plans ahead if health care ruling
Obama aides say major parts of the health care law would move forward even if the individual mandate is struck down. The plan includes Medicaid expansion, tax credits, and state marketplaces, with insurers still barred from denying coverage for pre existing conditions. Officials warn premiums could rise 15 to 20 percent for direct buyers if protections are weakened.
