Iranians protest over election

Iran is bracing for more protests over its presidential election results after defeated candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi called for the poll to be voided.



His supporters are reportedly planning a rally after two days of unrest sparked by the re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.



Yesterday tens of thousands of Ahmadinejad supporters rallied in Tehran to celebrate his victory.



However, Mr Mousavi has claimed widespread fraud and US Vice-President Joe Biden says there are real doubts about the poll.
