ZIM WATCH:Brown and Zuma call for Zimbabwe election results

HARARE-Britain and South Africa's ruling party leader Jacob Zuma made a united call on Wednesday for an end to the election stalemate in Zimbabwe, stepping up pressure on President Robert Mugabe to release results.Zuma, who has emerged as the most outspoken African leader on Zimbabwe, held talks in London with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, one of Mugabe's harshest critics."We resolved on the crisis in Zimbabwe to redouble our efforts to secure early publication of election results," they said in a joint statement after their meeting."We call for an end to any violence and intimidation and stressed the importance of respect for the sovereign people of Zimbabwe and the choice they have made at the ballot box."Opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) leader Morgan Tsvangirai said he won the election outright and accused Mugabe of delaying results to rig victory.Zuma's backing from Brown could anger Mugabe, who said former colonial master Britain was plotting with the opposition to oust him.
Britain called for an arms embargo on Zimbabwe while analysts dismissed as unlikely a proposal that Mugabe should lead a unity government until new polls.Brown said he would propose an arms embargo,joining calls by South Africa's Anglican church leader and Amnesty International.
