Italy reviews contested ballots
Italian officials are checking more than 80,000 contested ballots not included in the election results that gave Romano Prodi a narrow victory. Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has refused to admit defeat until the last checks have been made. But his allies are starting to distance themselves from his claims of fraud. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has joined the number of world leaders who have congratulated Mr Prodi. The US is waiting for results to be confirmed.
