Neither China nor Nepal have revealed anything about the progress of the Olympic flame up Mount Everest overnight.

The international media have been camped at the base of the mountain in Tibet, awaiting word on what is seen as a highlight of a torch parade.

The Everest flame is separate from the globetrotting torch, which passed through the streets of the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, yesterday.

....

Olympic authorities have only given sketchy details of the flame's progress and when it will reach the Himalayan summit.

Meanwhile Nepal has expelled journalists from the base camp on its side of the mountain.

Officials from Nepal's Ministry of Tourism told journalists they were being expelled in deference to 'our friend China.'

The other globetrotting torch has arrived in Vietnam for Tuesday's torch relay through the heart of the city.

It will be the 19th leg of the Beijing Olympic torch relay around the world, and also the first time Vietnam has hosted an Olympic torch relay.
