UN deadlock as rival resolutions on Syria attack probe fail

Rival proposals from the United States and Russia to investigate chemical weapons attacks in Syria have failed to pass at the UN Security Council.

Both sides called for new inquiries, but a US plan to assign blame was rejected by Moscow.

Rescue workers say dozens of people died in a suspected chemical attack on the town of Douma on Saturday.
