OUSTED PRESIDENT FAILS TO FLY BACK IN TO COUNTRY

Honduras's ousted President, Manuel Zelaya, has failed in a dramatic attempt to fly back to his country. His plane circled the Tegucigalpa airport, but it could not land as the authorities had blocked the runway. Earlier at least two people were killed as troops fended off Zelaya supporters converging on the airport. Mr Zelaya, who was ousted a week ago, has now arrived in neighbouring El Salvador where he is due to meet regional leaders, who support him.
