Deal to end crisis in Nicaragua

Nicaragua's President, Enrique Bolanos, has announced an agreement with the opposition-controlled Congress to end a deepening political crisis.

A power struggle had threatened the government and US aid to the country.

The pact was reached between Mr Bolanos and the left-wing Sandinista leader, Daniel Ortega.

They agreed to delay constitutional reforms which weaken the president's powers until next year, when Mr Bolanos leaves office.
