Ukraine court annuls poll result

Ukraine's Supreme Court has annulled the second round of the presidential election - upholding opposition claims that it was fraudulent.
Presiding judge Anatoly Yarema said a new vote must be held by 26 December.

Supporters of the pro-Western candidate Viktor Yushchenko broke into cheers as the verdict was announced.

Mr Yushchenko went to court saying the vote had been rigged in favour of his rival - the pro-Moscow Prime Minister, Viktor Yanukovych.

The court criticised the election commission for not investigating allegations of fraud and ordered it to prepare a re-run between the two contenders.
