continues, using the hashtag l acht jamstream. until then, waj and i will is say good night. >> reports of a deal ending the bloodshed between ukraine, and the opposition. hello and welcome. i'm steven cole, you're watching al jazeera live from our headquarters in doha. the vnthe venezuelan 18th govert protest. blowing the whistle and pays a price. a war of light are leads the

world in preserving the species. but first, the ukrainian president says he's reached an agreement with opposition leaders and that follows what have been described by diplomats as difficult all night talks. foreign minister from germany england an poanld were involved. saying -- poland are evolved. >> this is the scene in independence square where the situation seems to become, it was the scenes of fearsest fighting on on earlier a group of police officers who had been glabtsed by supporters some leased. be when they were led onto the,

cathedral. al jazeera andrew simmons is with me now, andrew is in kiev. reports of a deal. how much do we know about the content of the deal, andrew? >> very little indeed steven but at the time certain that there's some sort of deal that's going to be signed within the next two hours, 12 midday local, 10 gmt. and that will be signed by the european representatives here, the minister from germany britain and poland, also the opposition party leaders. we do know that there are leaks abounding from the media, in ukraine. in particular the influential ukrainian pravda, in which there is a suggestion there will be a coalition government formed within ten days. and that there will be a lessennings of the powers -- of

the powers of the president back to what the constitution back in 2004. and then another point on the presidential elections that these will take place in december. now, there's some question mark about whether or not it will be left so long before there could be elections and would that be agreeable with these opposition protesters. now, all of this after the most appalling violence seen in ukraine, the worst since the independence of this country was obtained. any hope of a truce disintegrated with scenes like this. bullets raining in on protesters. their attempts at protecting themselves are futile. elsewhere security forces are seeing deploying and they have no hesitation in using live ammunition. snipers are being used as well.

it all started with riot police retreating. they say they were coming under fire. the protesters seemed not determined not to lose ground. here a hotel lobby is inundated with people. medics doing what they can. a number have died, in critical condition. a priest is on hand giving blessings. outside on the square, the protest movement seems like a war machine. bags stuffed with rocks and bricks. again the square is a battle zone. now the front line has moved. everywhere you look there are casualties. protesters had quickly organized evacuation of the injured. convoy of stretcher parties moving through the square. recall of them moving trying to save lives.

this man clutching a bullet saying, i don't know who exactly was doing the shooting but it wasn't coming from our territory. they have reclaimed the square but at what human cost? >> let's go back to andrew in kiev. andrew is it likely that this deal will end the crisis or is that over-optimistic? >> it can't be guaranteed. it does appear that this does seem to be the best chance yet after the most appalling violence, as i say no one can remember anything like this. and the mood behind me now is a very mixed one. it's a very different square to the one i was in on thursday. there is an extraordinary industrial machine effectively that's put in another free barricades to seal this place off from any possible attacks from the security forces. and there were prayers as there is every morning as i walked through the square.

those prayers for the dead. but also, this mood of hope now. that there could be a resolution, now, nothing short of the eventually departure of the president is going to really satisfy the people here but how that will be injured remains to be scene in that document. steven. >> andrew thank you. border state of takira, in the capital caracas antigovernment demonstrations continued for a nirnt day. there's been growing discontent with the government led by nicholas maduro, rachel 11 reports. >> 18th -- levin reports. as you can see right here they have had lighting fires are
