US: Former US vice-president Mr Al Gore is expected to endorse Mr Howard Dean as the Democratic Party nominee for next year's presidentiual elections at a meeting in Harlem, New York, this morning.
The support from Mr Gore, who won the popular vote in the 2000 presidential election, will give Mr Dean's campaign a considerable boost. Senator Joe Liebermann, Mr Gore's running mate in 2000, will be the most disappointed of the other candidates.
