Press regulation talks 'break down'
Cross-party talks on the Leveson press reforms have broken down, the prime minister has confirmed.
David Cameron told Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband the gap between them was "too great" to bridge, the BBC understands.
He said he would publish plans for a royal charter to establish a tougher press regulator on Monday and urged them to support the proposals.
Labour said he was making an "historic mistake". The Lib Dems said the situation was "extremely regrettable".
