Ukraine crisis: Opposition rejects offer of PM post

Ukrainian opposition leader Arseniy Yatsenyuk says protests will continue after he rejected President Viktor Yanukovych's offer to appoint him as prime minister of the country.

Mr Yatsenyuk said the opposition was generally ready to accept leadership, but several key demands must be met, including new elections.

Sunday has seen further demonstrations.

There were reports of protests in east Ukraine, and in Kiev thousands mourned a protester who was killed last week.

Crowds chanted "Hero!" as the open coffin of Mikhail Zhiznevsky, 25, was carried through the streets of the capital.

The president's proposal to the opposition came amid new efforts to end the deadly unrest.
