Italian poll result set to stand

BBC

Romano Prodi looks set to be confirmed as the winner of Italy's general election after the number of contested ballots was drastically lowered.
The interior ministry said it had made an error and only 5,000 votes were being checked, instead of about 80,000.

Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has refused to concede to his centre-left rival until all final checks are made.
