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.

It is the second year in a row Poland has not taken part in Eurovision. This time it has pulled-out because of the financial pressure of co-hosting the European Football Championships.

The Eurovision Song Context takes place in Sweden next May.
