People Power Takes Shape In Kiev
ResumeUkraine's parliament is delaying the formation of a new government. It was supposed to happen today, but the parliament speaker — who was named the country's interim leader — now says the government should be in place by Thursday.
The delay reflects the political turmoil facing Ukraine after the country's ousted president Viktor Yanukovych went into hiding.
Yanukovych is a wanted man after last week's violence in Kiev left more than 80 people dead - most of them: anti-government protesters.
Ukraine is facing many problems, from to social to financial and geo-political, with Russia and the West at loggerheads over Yanukovych's removal from office.
Meanwhile, Ukrainians continue taking power into their own hands. The BBC's Steve Rosenberg reports from Kiev.
