World press on international reactions to Syria crisis (September 16, 2013)

"Syria crisis: France, US and UK eye 'strong' UN resolution" is an article published on the BBC main site today. 

"France, Britain and the US are to seek a "strong" UN resolution with "serious consequences" if Syria fails to hand over its chemical weapons," the article states.

"Russia has warned that threatening Syria may "wreck" the peace talks. Under a deal brokered by Russia and the US, Syria has agreed to disclose its full chemical arms arsenal within a week and eliminate it by mid-2014," the article reads.

"UN investigators have said they are probing 14 alleged chemical attacks in Syria since September 2011," the author writes. 

"French President Francois Hollande, Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, British Foreign Secretary William Hague and US Secretary of State John Kerry agreed there had to be a "precise timetable" for the dismantling of weapons in Syria," the article reports. 

The UN Security Council is expected to draft a resolution for the Syrian deal in the coming days.
