New round of talks planned for Syria

The various factions of Syria's opposition are attempting to agree a new leadership in time for a new round of peace talks, reports Reuters.

The talks are being convened by the US and Russia after recent developments in the civil war have compelled new attempts at diplomacy.

The 'peace conference' could take part in Geneva in the coming weeks and Russia has said that the Syrian government has in principle agreed to attend.
