Study: Erratic TV violence ratings fail parents

FILE - This file publicity photo released by AMC shows a walker in Episode 16, "Welcome to the Tombs," from Season 3 of the TV series, "The Walking Dead." Violent dramas on the broadcast networks carry milder parental cautions than cable shows like "The Walking Dead" but can equal them in graphic gore, a failure of the TV ratings system, according to a Parents Television Council study released Monday, Dec. 9, 2013. (AP Photo/AMC, Gene Page, File)LOS ANGELES (AP) — Violent dramas on the broadcast networks carry milder parental cautions than cable shows like "The Walking Dead" but can equal them in graphic gore, a failure of the TV ratings system, a new study found.

Syrian chemicals arms removal may be delayed: OPCW
The removal of chemical weapons from Syria may be delayed slightly due to the difficulties of operating during a civil war, the head of the global chemicals weapon watchdog OPCW said on Monday. But any hold-up should be small and the mid-2014 deadline to destroy these weapons remains realistic, said Ahmet Uzumcu, whose Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has been charged with supervising the destruction of Syria's chemical arsenal. The most dangerous chemical weapons have to be removed by December 31 while weapons in a second category have to be shipped out by February 5. "There are very demanding timelines that we want to fulfill and I'm confident that the deadline of end of June next year (to destroy the weapons) will be met." The Hague-based OPCW was given the task of overseeing destruction of Syria's chemical weapons stocks following a sarin gas attack on the outskirts of Damascus in August which killed hundreds of people.
