Deposed Zelaya to meet Clinton

Deposed Honduran leader Manuel Zelaya is expected to travel to Washington for a meeting today with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.



The meeting follows an unsuccessful attempt by Zelaya to return to his country.



The US has sharply criticised the use of violence by troops loyal to the interim authorities, which saw at least one Zelaya supporter killed on Sunday.



UN chief Ban Ki-moon has called for the Organisation of American States (OAS) to lead efforts to restore Mr Zelaya to power.



The OAS has condemned the transfer of power in Honduras as a military coup and has suspended Honduras from membership.
