Political turmoil in Ukraine over CB loan

Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's prime minister, has called for the resignation of Viktor Yushchenko, the president and former head of the country's central bank, after accusing him of profiting from bets against the currency last week as the country struggles to avoid economic collapse.
