The newly installed government in Honduras has rejected international calls to reinstate the deposed1 President Manuel Zelaya who says he will return home at the weekend after being rejected from the country in a coup2 last Sunday. It said Mr. Zelaya would be arrested for treason despite a warning that Honduras will be expelled from the Organization of American States. James Coomarasamy reports from Washington.
Manuel Zelaya's decision to postpone3 his return home was taken after a series of late-night meetings in Washington. They resulted in an ultimatum4 from the Organization of American States to the Honduran interim5 authorities: restore the elected president power or face expulsion from the organization. The Obama administration, which has condemned6 Mr. Zelaya's removal, says the ousted7 leader has taken a wise decision. A senior official said it was important that a diplomatic solution was explored before he returned to Honduras.
The defeated presidential candidate in Iran says he considers the new government of President Mahamoud Ahamadenajad to be illegitimate. Mir-Hossein Mousavi broke his silence about the situation in Iran in a statement on his website having said nothing for a week. Jenny Norton reports.
In his most defiant8 statement so far, Mir-Hossein Mousavi has made it clear that he is not giving up the fight. In fact, he appears to be taking it to a new level. Dismissing the election as rigged, Mr. Mousavi said Iran now had a government which had lost the trust of its own people and was dependent on military force alone. He called on the authorities to release all those detained in the post-election protests and said all restrictions9 on freedom of speech in the media must be lifted. It was time, he said, for Iran to go back to its roots, to remember the constitution and to respect the law.
The British government says it's checking reports that the Iranian authorities have released another Iranian member staff of the British embassy in Teheran who is being held for alleged10 involvements in the post-election violence. Two were freed earlier on Wednesday. Five others and the original non-arrested were released early this week.

Peter Bowes reports from Los Angeles.
The Jackson family's statement says contrary to previous news reports, there will be no public or private viewing in Neverland. Instead, the statement says plans are under way regarding a public memorial service for Michael Jackson. The family says details will be released shortly. The last few days has seen more rumor13 and speculation16 regarding the singer's final resting place than hard facts. The family says it's now hired a public relations company to speak on its behalf. That was Peter Bowes.

The best-known member of the British gang that forces a zeal19 years ago carried out what became known as the Great Train Robbery has been refused parole. The Justice Secretary Jack11 Straw said Ronnie Biggs who spent decades in Brazil while on a run from prison was wholly unrepentant and must stay in jail. Biggs is 79 and seriously ill and a parole board had recommended his release. His son Michael condemned the decision.
"The hospital has now confirmed to me that due to his poor health, he runs a risk of dying if his body does not react quickly to the current treatments. My father has now served eight years in prison and has done the same time inside as the other train robbers. He has done a great deal more years than many murderers, pedophiles and psychopaths. "
