Another Election (Ukraine)
[Media Source*] It looks like there may be another election in Ukraine. Opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko signed a deal that would relieve the city of his supporters protest (which have shut down the city and slowed downed the economy) but vowed that his followers would remain on the streets until a new vote for the nation's presidency is reached.

Yushchenko held face to face talks with Viktor Yanukovych (his rival) hours after opposition showed strength by passing a no confidence vote in parliment. After the talks Yushchenko proposed a new runoff between the rivals on December 19th. He also vowed that protesters would remain in the streets until a date was set.
