Ukrainian MPS told to form govt by Tuesday

Ukrainian MPs have been told they have until Tuesday to form a unity government. "This is a priority task," parliament's Speaker Oleksander Turchinov said during a debate held a day after MPs votes to dismiss President Viktor Yanukovych. Mr Turchinov has now been given presidential powers temporarily. Parliament also voted to seize Mr Yanukovych's luxury estate near Kiev, which protesters entered on Saturday. The estate will be nationalised. Thousands of protesters remain in Independence Square where the atmosphere is described as calm. The whereabouts of Mr Yanukovych, who described parliament's decision to vote him out on Saturday as a coup, remain unclear. The weekend's fast-moving events came after months of anti-government protests, according to a news agency.
