>> we are following fast moving developments. there has been a warning from the white house. ousted president is now surfaced saying h ewill hold a news conference tomorrow, meanwhile in the east, the russian flag now flied over government building and in kiev, the parliament appointing a new prime minister is on it's way to forming a coalition government. from the independent scare, and nick the the strike tor is not there so where is he. >> we have been looking for the the the him for the about a week now and if the he is to be believed he is having a press conference tomorrow morning. and so presumably that is where he is. there were reports earlier today that he was in a hotel outside the dream lynn. he hasn't confirmed that, no one from the kremlin itself has confirmed that. he slipped out of this

country, sometime on saturday or sunday. he has been found or at least he is announcing he has been found. but frankly, this country is moving on without him. >> and nick, what are the latest developments from the square behind you there? the square is still going strong. there is a new parliament today, a brand new government, this country now has a prime minister who has huge challenges igniting a country that is very divided and about three months away from default. that point is very important, because the people who are in that share, they help install 24 new government, and you walk through the square today, faulking to young people, old people, everybody who participated in this, what they call a revolution, they say if

the politicians don't ask better than the last, and get new ones still very much an on going situation. if you could tell us how the western powers are involved at this point? >> what we are seeing there is a province that is always always been seen as separate. always been pro russian, and people are prow european, what they did today was raise a flag on a local parliament building.

and we will send in the army to this government building if we need to. and so the secretary of state and we airport pay are hearing from the minister in russia. don't do anything, we can work this out figure this out and the point is the u.s. wants to give the government here a chance. it wants to give the government here a chance to fix the political problems but also look west, the government now has appealed to the im serves it needs some $16 million. that will come with measure as very difficult time ahead politically for the people and the government, and the u.s., is trying to not have any kind of military problems down in the south north for the government to focus on badly needed reyou remember toes. >> now if and when he surfaces the paper trail could be damming. thousands of documents

from the state have now been discovered. they were the dumped in the river. >> it is the first time she returns by ukraine's police. the the imnagely never forget. we were a smalling group and three timing bigger we had no weapons just stones. i didn't think the police would kill ukrainians. now that he is gone, the the ukrainians are getting to more know about the men they helped to overthrow. there shall still people diving in the freezing cold water frying to

retreat every single document they can. by a group of journalist whose are sitting through them, and making them available online for everyone to see. more many are still trying. some of the documents reveal a lavish lifestyle and expensive furniture. ohs detailed transactions through/flu a web of shadow companies and a bank belonging to the yanukovych. then the there was the astonish and shock from the numbers of the money spent here to the names and the documents and the company names that founded it. perhaps the most shocking document so far, is this one. detailing the extent to which he was willing to go to crack down on the protestors.

it orders 22,000 police and forces all around, electricity, water communications were to be shut down in the surrounding area. protestors were engaged into a battle on the edges of the square while the trade union building wered the nerve center was raided. >> that's where victoria was stationed after three of her companions died she like many ukrainians hope these documents will make a solid case am al jazeera, kiev. >> meanwhile, the the unrest in ukraine remain as very big concern. john kerry says he spokes to the russian's foreign minister. the white house briefing just a short while ago. shortly after signing the

agreement, in early fashion, packing up his stuff, and disappearing. it is hard to claim you are leading a country when you advocate responsibilities and disappeared. they have been watching the development in washington, how is the cry issue going to strain the already strained relationship that the u.s. has with russia. >> that's a great question, and all along over the course of the last several days as this crisis has unfolded you have heard everyone from the president to a spokesman here at the white house from secretary kerri to his spokesperson de-emphasize this perception thatting this a cold war redo. there is undeniably this aspect to it. a number of alarms were raised bringing about

very forceful statements. near ukraine on the border, secretary kerry openlien waying russia not to violate the territorial integrity or sovereignty of ukraine. that was echoed today just moments ago. and again today secretary kerry in a meeting with the german foreign monster. foreign minister relays to me directly from president putin a reaffirmation of the conversation that president putin had over the weekend with president obama. and he sated that both the military exercise which has been conducted is not related to the ukraine, and was previously scheduled. but also importantly reaffirmed the president's statement that russia will respect the territorial integrity of ukraine.

obviously a very sensitive time. taking pains to speak with each other. to understand any misunderstanding military exercises take place just outside the boarders within russia, and the turmoil happens within ukraine itself. the the economic situation not going uno tied. they are going to be taking the lead. but the united states is not ruling out any economic assistance. >> well the white house simply points to the fact that he has abandoned kiev, and the presidential compound. there are parallels being drawn to events that have taken place all over the world. and whether this is the a

coupe or not a coupe. no doubt that yanukovych is gone, there's a government in place. they are calling for what they call a technical government, a caretaker government to take care of sort of the nuts and bolting of governing ukraine. that deadline has now been extended by a month but the organization for the prohibition, the group that is overseeing that process says the government needs to move much quicker. food is al jazeera's world day of solidarity for our journalists being held in the egypt. mohammed and peter gresta have been in prison for

the press that no one in my profession can work without.
