Mugabe rival fears talks collapse

Zimbabwe's opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has warned that power-sharing talks may collapse if parliament is convened.
It was announced earlier this week that MPs would be sworn in next Monday, with President Robert Mugabe to open the first session the following day.
Mr Tsvangirai said this would repudiate the agreement governing the talks.
He made the comments on a visit to Kenya to find out about the country's experience of power-sharing.
A grand coalition was formed in the East African country earlier this year after violent post-poll clashes.
So far, Mr Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change and Mr Mugabe's Zanu-PF party have failed to reach a deal to resolve Zimbabwe's post-election crisis.
Leaders from the Southern African Development Community failed to help them end a deadlock at their summit in Johannesburg over the weekend.
