Tsvangirai moves to assure Mugabe

Zimbabwe's Prime Minister-designate Morgan Tsvangirai has said President Robert Mugabe has nothing to fear from the historic deal signed on Monday.

In his first interview as PM, Mr Tsvangirai told the BBC that Mr Mugabe had a "paranoid obsession" that there was an attempt to overthrow him.
Mr Tsvangirai said this was not the case and that confidence was vital if Zimbabwe was to be rebuilt.
Monday's power-sharing deal ended a decade of rivalry between the two men.
The division of cabinet posts have not yet been finalised but the deal proposes a 50-50 division of power, with Mr Mugabe remaining head of state and head of the cabinet.
