Kenyan peace talks 'breakthrough'


Kenya's ruling party and opposition have reached a "breakthrough" during talks in Nairobi to end post-election bloodshed, officials say.
The two sides are trying to break the political deadlock that has left the country convulsed in violence since December's presidential polls.
Details are unclear but chief mediator, ex-UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, is expected to make an announcement soon. Some 1,000 people have died and 300,000 others fled their homes in the clashes. Opposition spokesman William Ruto said the rival parties had reached a deal on interim joint government, says the BBC's Adam Mynott in Nairobi.
