Tymoshenko appointed Ukraine PM
The Ukrainian parliament has approved President Viktor Yushchenko's controversial nomination of Yulia Tymoshenko as the new prime minister.

Ms Tymoshenko was a key supporter of the pro-Western Mr Yushchenko during the disputed presidential elections.

The Russian authorities accuse Ms Tymoshenko, a former gas industry oligarch, of bribery and are pursuing a criminal case against her.

Earlier on Friday, she presented her government's programme to MPs, promising to alter the state's role in society radically.
