Zimbabwe hope despite stalemate

Zimbabwe's ruling party and opposition have failed to reach a power-sharing agreement at a summit of Southern African leaders in Johannesburg.
But the secretary-general of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change said he believed a deal with the Zanu-PF would be reached "very soon".
South African President Thabo Mbeki, who is mediating in the crisis, earlier said talks would continue.
The MDC is insisting President Robert Mugabe surrender his executive powers.
MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai is said to have agreed in principle to take on a powerful prime ministerial role in a new national unity government, although the exact balance of power is undecided.
