Honduras 'to stop ousted leader's plane'

The interim government in Honduras has banned the plane due to carry ousted President Manuel Zelaya home.

Mr Zelaya, who was removed by troops a week ago, has promised to fly home to the Central American nation later on Sunday.

But Foreign Minister Enrique Ortez said that any plane carrying Mr Zelaya would not be allowed to land.

The stand-off comes a day after the top regional body, the OAS, suspended Honduras over the crisis.

Stephen Gibbs reports.
