Demonstrations have been taking place all day outside parliament in Kyiv

 


From BBC News:

 

One hundred policemen protecting Ukraine's parliament were wounded, 10 seriously, after MPs gave initial backing to reforms for more autonomy in the rebel-held east, officials say.

 

As police were pelted with fire crackers and petrol bombs, an explosion was heard in front of parliament.

 

MPs had just voted in a rowdy session to approve more powers in areas of Donetsk and Luhansk under control of pro-Russian rebels.
