    Berlin to host talks with UN, France, Syria opposition

    Germany's top diplomat will host talks on Wednesday with his French counterpart, the UN's Syria envoy and Syria's main opposition leader, as concerns grow over the war-torn country's faltering truce, AFP reports.

    Discussions will focus on "how the conditions for a continuation of the peace talks in Geneva can be met, as well as how a reduction of violence and an improvement in the humanitarian situation in Syria can be achieved", the German foreign ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.
