In Honduras, the next chapter of a months-long political standoff unfolds today, as people there vote for a new president. But there are doubts over the legitimacy of the poll. It´s being organised by the leaders of a coup that unseated incumbent president Manuel Zelaya last June. The US says the poll is QUOTE "a democratic way forward" after talks to find a negotiated solution collapsed. But President Zelaya, currently camped out in the Brazilian embassy in Honduras, disagrees.
