Ban presses major powers on Syria crisis UNITED NATIONS: UN leader Ban Ki-moon on Wednesday pressed the major powers to overcome differences on the Syria war amid difficult talks on a UN Security Council resolution on Syria’s chemical arms. Countries suffering the refugee fallout from the 30-month-old conflict separately made pleas for help to cope with growing numbers of fleeing Syrians. Ban hosted a lunch with the foreign ministers of the United States, Russia, China, Britain and France — the permanent Security Council members — to put across his message, UN officials said. The meeting discussed a Russia-US plan to destroy President Bashar Assad’s chemical weapon arsenal, said UN spokesman Martin Nesirky.
