Dispute over arrested UNICEF worker in DR Congo

The head of the United Nations Children's Fund, Carol Bellamy, says she hopes a dispute with the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo over a member of her staff can be resolved before before she leaves Kinshasa later today Saturday.

The man, a Congolese national, was arrested last month and accused of helping rebels in the east of the country.

Mrs Bellamy, who is on a three-day visit to the country, said she still hadn't received any proof to support the charge against him.
