Rubble in the Syrian city of Aleppo, 9 SeptThe UN says the 30-month Syrian conflict has claimed some 100,000 lives



The US has said it will wait for details of a Russian proposal on Syrian chemical weapons but warned it would not permit "delays and avoidance".


US Secretary of State John Kerry said the plan must be "swift and verifiable" and warned its implementation would be "exceedingly difficult".


Russia's plan would see the chemical weapons put under international control, with the aim of destruction.


Syria has said it accepts the Russian proposal, though details are sketchy.


France earlier said it would put a strong resolution to the UN Security Council on the control and subsequent destruction of the chemical weapons.


Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said the resolution would threaten "extremely serious" consequences if Syria breached its conditions.


Mr Kerry said that if the UN were used as the vehicle for pursuing the Russian plan, it must not become a debating society.
