We begin this morning with a quick glance at serious news.

In Iran, British embassy staff have been arrested, as the authorities continue to blame Britain and the United States for voter anger at rigged election results.

In Honduras, President Manuel Zelaya has been exiled to Costa Rica in a military coup. Venezuela is threatening military intervention.
