Syria foes 'to meet face-to-face' at Geneva II talks
Syria's opposition and government will meet face-to-face in Geneva on Saturday after the first day of a peace conference ended with no direct talks.
UN envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, who held talks with both sides on Friday, said they all understood that the conference was trying to "save Syria".
The two sides have blamed each other for a lack of progress.
Diplomats say they are now aiming at small concessions such as local truces rather than an overall peace deal.
