'No deal better than bad deal'

Gweru - Zimbabwe's opposition leader says no deal is better than making a bad deal to share power with President Robert Mugabe.
Morgan Tsvangirai made the comments on Sunday at a celebration marking the ninth anniversary of his Movement for Democratic Change.
The party won the most votes in legislative and presidential elections in March.
Mugabe subsequently held a one-man presidential run-off and the two sides have been deadlocked in talks over how to share power.
Mugabe is threatening to form his own Cabinet without the opposition party if Tsvangirai does not sign on to the deal.
Tsvangirai says it would make him a figurehead prime minister while Mugabe retains all his powers.
