Nepal's Maoists agree peace deal

The Nepalese government and Maoist rebels have agreed a peace deal aimed at ending the 10-year insurgency.

The agreement will see the rebels join a transitional government, while their arms will be put under UN supervision.

One major issue causing disagreement - the future of the monarchy - will be solved by a constituent assembly to be elected next year.

Government negotiators told the BBC the agreement covered all issues affecting Nepal's future.

The Maoists entered into negotiations with the government after a popular uprising in April forced King Gyanendra to end his direct rule and appoint a multi-party government.
