Things are moving along nicely. New elections are planned, law changes to make them fairer have been passed, and the prime-minister has been send home (not sacked, though).
Another development: Yushchenko has this really nasty acne-filled face these days, where he used to be quite attractive.

Now, Yushchenko's doctor claims he's been poisoned.

John Henry, a prominent British toxicologist, has suggested that Mr Yushchenko’s symptoms were consistent with dioxin poisoning, which causes a severe form of acne called chloracne. Doctors at Rudolfinerhaus did not initially test Mr Yushchenko for dioxin, in part because his skin changes were not as severe as they are now. He also refused a biopsy of his face because he did not want to campaign with stitches. Other doctors have suggested that Mr Yushchenko may have been struck down by a rare illness.

If this is true, it's gonna get nasty. Dioxin poisoning can be detected long after the fact, and the doctors say they're going to produce some sort of evidence soon.
