Eurovision becomes victim of economic crisis
The Eurovision song contest appears to have become the latest victim of the economic crisis.
Two countries - Poland and Portugal - have reportedly been forced to pull out of next year's event because they can't afford to enter.

The Eurovision Song Context takes place in Sweden next May.
