In Honduras, the interim government says it is open to bringing forward a general election in November to resolve a crisis over ousted President Manuel Zelaya.

Honduran authorities say police clashed with supporters of ousted president Manuel Zelaya in San Pedro on Thursday. They say about a dozen people were injured.

According to reports, more than 6-thousand people marched from a park in front of a military base to a UN office.

Police say 78 people -- all of them are Zelaya supporters -- were arrested for vandalism.

Meanwhile, in Tegucigalpa Zelaya supporters staged their largest demonstration since the military coup.

The interim government has so far shown little willingness to restore Zelaya as president despite mounting international pressure.
