Bolivia opposition agrees to talk

Bolivian President Evo Morales and opposition governors from rich eastern regions have agreed on steps to resolve the country's political crisis.

The governor of the natural gas-rich Tarija province said he would sign a deal on issues to be discussed, on behalf of other rebel governors.

They agreed to the talks despite the arrest of a northern governor.

Wealthy eastern areas have opposed Mr Morales' left-wing reforms, sparking violent anti-government protests.

Last week, Mr Morales declared a state of emergency in the northern region of Pando, where at least 16 people have been killed in anti-government protests.
