3. OPCW examines Syria chemical weapons report under US-Russia deal

THE world's chemical weapons watchdog has begun examining details of Syria's chemical arsenal supplied by the regime, as rebels agreed a truce with jihadists in a key border town.

China today urged a quick implementation of a landmark US-Russian deal to destroy Syria's chemical stockpile, as the Hague-based Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) tasked with dismantling the weapons said it has received an initial report from President Bashar al-Assad's regime on the arsenal.

In New York, UN envoys were due to resume talks on a draft Security Council resolution that would enshrine the plan to neutralise the lethal weapons.
