we begin in Ukraine where the acting leadership is moving fast to reshape
the country let's take a look now at the latest development
Alexander to should know to take off has been appointed
interim president the parliamentary speaker is a close ally of newly freed
former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko tony cop
says his priorities i saving the troubled economy and steering the
country
on the past two European integration now the whereabouts of Viktor Yanukovych
though is still
unknown but there are reports he is now in crime area
and uncertainty does remain not everyone supports
what's been happening in the capital yep Indiana colleges strongholds in the east
pro Russian supporters have been on the streets
more on that in just a moment but first two haha Bahamut who is in the
Ukrainian a capital O Hara thanks very much for a
being with us now there's been a lot of speculation as to Yanukovych's
whereabouts
any idea as to where he might be but the speculation continues
now what happened today is that the
acting interior Minister has
posted on Facebook that
the former president was spotted
in Crimea he also posted that
his security detail that was traveling with him so far
had been dismissed and that Ukraine had issued an arrest warrant
against Victoria Nicole beach for his
role in the killings here inmate than last week
now we spoke to in aid to the interior minister who
just confirmed that it was actually the minister who
indeed posted I this note on Facebook but did not confirmed
content of that note I we also tried to speak to some people in Crimea
some journalists there said that if all this had happened it happened overnight
because they couldn't find anyone what actually seen the former president
in that area and then we spoke to the prosecution's
persecuted general's office from what we understand the arrest warrant
is still not officially out the prosecution
its prosecutor is going through the legal proceedings
as we speak so this warrant is still not official as yet
so I think there's still a lot of speculation going on
about the whereabouts a picture yeah no cold feet and I would say that
you know depressed officer the interior ministry wouldn't deny
or confirm these reports say being quite tight-lip they said that
at some point today they will issue a statement and clarify
this whole story in the meantime the hard a lot a political development
that's not happened overnight
over the last two days in particular Tuesday is a very important day for
a particularly in Kiev that the deadline for forming a unity government how's
that going
well as we speak
they are consultations going on between the different political factions
and that's happening in the parliament building
we do know that later on in the afternoon at Parliament will reconvene
now there are two names that are floating around for the role of Prime
Minister
one is and demand that the factor led the fatherland
party to party yes the mission call while she was imprisoned
and the other one is a independent US in the past
held as several ministerial post and is also very successful
businessman now we have to also see what role with the party a
regions have that the party from which picture you know
Viktor Yanukovych stands %uh it has his own
the former president and he did you talking about a government of national
unity
it has to be included we don't have any more
information about what is happening any
favorite for any of the other postings but I think
this is something that acting president
knows has to get it right to get this country out of this crisis and also some
how to speak stop economy again
kathleen action is to do land in this country
and in a few hours I she is coming
with some soda economic package statements
for the country but that is tied also to what kind of reforms and also what kind
of government
will come out after these negotiations and then you have
the unknown what is happening to Viktor Yanukovych
what is he doing a lot of people with 10-year
design as long as he is in hiding as long as nobody knows where
that puts a lot uncertainty on this page
certainly is and we're just hearing too hot out that the arrest foreign
warrant for I at a college ease
about to be issued are in the process of being issued and we will of course
get you up to speed on that that was hot abdel-hamid speaking to us from
Kiev
