Senior diplomats from across the Americas have begun talks in Honduras, in the latest attempt to resolve the political crisis.



They are hoping to set up talks between interim leader Roberto Micheletti and deposed President Manuel Zelaya, who is living in the Brazilian embassy.



Mr Zelaya is demanding that he be reinstated to the presidency.



The high-powered diplomatic team includes foreign ministers and deputy foreign ministers from about 10 countries in the region, as well as Jose Insulza, the chief of the Organisation of American States.



The interim government is facing mounting pressure to ensure that the Honduran elections slated for November are free and fair.
