Nepal misses new constitution deadline

Nepal may be without a government in the coming hours, with its de-facto parliament due to be dissolved.

However, the Constituent Assembly has failed to meet a Saturday deadline to deliver a new constitution.

It's the latest political crisis for the Himalayan nation, where a bloody Maoist insurgency ended five years ago, with high hopes for a democratic future.
