Former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has announced she will resign as governor of Alaska on 26 July.

Mrs Palin said she was "taking my fight for what is right, for Alaska, in a new direction."

Mrs Palin's term of office was due to end in 2010, and there is speculation that she may make a bid for the White House in 2012.
