Contest faces overhaul
Voting for the Eurovision Song Contest is set for an overhaul after the man responsible for organising it admitted the current system is failing.
After complaints from western European countries that their rivals are working together to prevent them taking the title, the voting procedure is set for a revamp, with the introduction of a second semi-final under consideration.
Bjorn Erichsen, the director of Eurovision television, the international broadcasting body responsible for the contest, said: "It is likely that we will have new procedures in place by 2009."
