Mongolia's top politicians are locked in negotiations to try to work out their differences after allegations of electoral fraud caused deadly riots in the capital.

The heads of rival political parties are trying to find common ground to prevent any further violence.

The talks come ahead of the lifting of a four-day state of emergency, due at midnight on Saturday local time, imposed on Ulan Bator after five people were killed in the protests on Tuesday.
