LAGOS, May 7 (Reuters) - U.S. oil company Chevron <CVX.N> reduced its Nigerian oil output by 42,000 barrels per day on Monday in response to a community protest at a facility in the Niger Delta, a spokesman said.

The dispute, which security sources attributed to compensation for an oil spill, is already under negotiation and will be resolved by Tuesday at the latest, the spokesman added.

Anti-North Korea protesters chant slogans with a defaced North Korean flag at a protest demanding disarmament of North Korea's nuclear weapons in Seoul June 15, 2007. The path to disarming North Korea of its nuclear weapons will prove much harder than clearing a deadlock over its funds that took nearly two years, South Korea's chief envoy to six-way talks on ending North Korea's nuclear programmes, was quoted as saying on Friday.
