Venezuela's opposition leader Henrique Capriles has called off a rally to demand a recount of Sunday's disputed presidential election.

Rival Nicolas Maduro was declared to have won the poll, and earlier said he would not allow the opposition rally.

He accused the opposition of trying to stage a coup after clashes on Monday left seven people dead.
