Ukrainian police storm Kiev protest camp

Clashes continue overnight in Ukraine, as police storm the main anti-government protest camp in the country's capital, Kiev

At least 18 people have died, including seven police officers, and scores of people have been injured in a long day of violence

Crisis talks between main opposition leaders and President Viktor Yanukovych have failed, reports say Foreign governments are urging the authorities in Ukraine to end the violence

The unrest began in November, when Mr Yanukovych rejected a deal with the EU in favour of closer ties with Russia
