More than 80 Tibetan exiles and monks have been arrested in Nepal. Police said they were trying to storm the Chinese Embassy in Katmandu.

On Monday almost 300 people were detained for taking part in demonstrations against China. Nepal, which borders southern China, sees Tibet as part of China and threatens more crackdowns if the protests continue.
