  • Story Text: Russia and the United States agreed a new push to negotiate an end to Syria's civil war as they discussed a plan on Friday (September 13) to destroy President Bashar al-Assad's chemical weapons.
    U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met to work on Moscow's disarmament proposal. Washington remains sceptical and Kerry has said U.S. military action is still possible to punish Assad for a poison gas attack in rebel territory last month.
    Kerry's talks with Lavrov in Geneva, which also involved U.S. and Russian weapons experts, are expected to last until Saturday (September 14).
