Putin addresses election crisis
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KIEV, Ukraine — Russian President Vladimir Putin injected himself directly into the election crisis in this former Soviet republic yesterday, strongly attacking the opposition's central demand for a new presidential runoff.
Tens of thousands of opposition supporters waving Ukrainian flags and wearing orange armbands, sweaters and scarves rallied for the 11th straight day in Independence Square. While awaiting a Supreme Court ruling on whether to throw out the results of the disputed election, they listened to rock bands and watched large-screen televisions broadcasting the court sessions.
21 runoff. Protesters kept up their blockade of the Cabinet building, banging on drums improvised from metal canisters, the sound echoing off the walls of the imposing Stalin-era building.
The demonstrators erected a Christmas tree - also bright orange, which is the emblematic color of their movement - in the tent camp they have maintained since shortly after the Nov.
"Neither Russia, nor the European Union, nor international organizations will solve the problems," he said outside Moscow. "They all can play the role of mediators, but the Ukrainian people have the last word."
Following Putin's remarks, President Bush issued a warning that appeared to be directed at Russia. If there is to be a new election, it "ought to be free from any foreign influence." Bush said in comments that were considered more forceful than those he has made in the past.
Putin, hosting Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma, again issued a warning to the West.
Minister Viktor Yanukovych in the election. The Kremlin fears that a victory by opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko, who favors closer ties with the West, could drag this country of 48 million out of Moscow's orbit and generate pressure for greater democracy in Russia.
Putin had openly supported Prime
The Supreme Court is considering an appeal by Yushchenko's campaign to invalidate the result of the runoff, which the Central Election Commission said Yanukovych won by about 900,000 votes. The appeal centers on claims of widespread violations across the prime minister's strongholds in the east and south, near Russia.
The 18 red-robed justices began hearing final arguments but adjourned hours after dark without a decision.
If the court sides with Yushchenko, it would put him in a strong negotiating position with Kuchma to schedule a repeat runoff.

Former police commissioner to lead Homeland Security
WASHINGTON — President Bush has chosen former New York police commissioner Bernard Kerik, who helped direct the emergency response to the Sept. 11 terrorist strikes against the Twin Towers, to lead the Homeland Security Department, charged with safeguarding Americans from future attack, administration officials said yesterday.
for less than six months. He had been mentioned as a candidate for secretary of state, a job Bush gave to National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice.
Bush also announced his choice of Nebraska Gov, Mike Johannes to be agriculture secretary, selecting a dairy farmer's son who has traveled widely to promote American farm sales abroad.

In a third development, U.N. Ambassador John Danforth submitted his resignation after holding the job
The flurry of moves came as Bush reshaped his team for his second term in office. Seven members of the 15-member Cabinet have submitted their resignations; Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson also appears to be preparing to leave.
Kerik inherits a sprawling bureaucracy from Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, who resigned last month. The creation of the department in 2003 combined 22 disparate federal agencies with more than 180,000 employees. The organization is still learning to work together and faces criticism over aspects from the coordination of finances to computer systems.
