Gotcha. I am watching the stream. I thought the youtube link (wich I cant get) might have been to a reporter or something and thought I was missing something.
This is very strange.

Did they leave that big black thing in the middle or was that already there? Looks kind of like a black sign in the middle of the road.

Dead Man Found Hanging In Kiev's Independence Square
Reuters
| Posted: 01/27/2014 8:02 am EST | Updated: 01/27/2014 9:59 am EST
KIEV (Reuters) - A 55-year-old man was found dead on Monday hanging from the framework of a huge artificial 'New Year tree' in central Kiev which has become a symbol of anti-government resistance, Ukrainian police said.
Police said they removed the body, which was hanging inside the cone-shaped tubular steel construction on Kiev's Independence Square. The 'tree' is festooned with a poster of jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko and scrawled with graffiti attacking President Viktor Yanukovich.
The body, that of a man from Volyn region in western Ukraine, bore no external wounds and was being examined to establish the cause of death, the police statement said.
The incident was especially bizarre since the square has been swarming with protesters day and night since the onset of mass protests against Yanukovich in early December.

Any idea what the map legend is? Is all the red area parts shutdown by protestors?

Some of the latest updates.

tomorrow the Parliament will have an emergency meeting. One of the important topics for the day - overruling the draconian laws, which were passed on the 16th.
Prime minister authorized increasing Berkut (police SF forces responsible for the victims and most of the violence against the citizens) personnel to 30,000 (6 times! more than it was before).
Prime minister authorized the creation of national guard units. What these are? You've heard of titushki (paid anti-rioters, some with criminal background, most - with martial arts background) probably and how they collaborate with police? This authorization basically legalizes these units, which are paid by the pro-government businessmen and shoot people with traumatic guns. They are basically creating a thug army to fight against the protesters. These people are totally OK with shooting their own neighbors and countrymen for $25-$50 a day.
Donetsk special forces broke the blockade in a small village, where they were dislocated and are moving towards Kiev (are in Kiev probably)
More and more activists are missing.

Video of Titushki thugs receiving their instructions together with the police. They received wooden bats inside the very building of Dnipropetrovsk state administration. Shortly after the thugs were beating protesters with the help of police.

Also, about an hour ago, it was reported that the Pres. and the opposition leaders were sitting down for another round of talks.

Aside from tires, that has to be a shortage of motorcycle helmets and construction hats in that area.

KIEV, Ukraine — Ahead of a special legislative session on Tuesday intended to help defuse Ukraine’s worsening political crisis, the majority party in Parliament issued a statement on Monday accusing protest leaders of directing a coup attempt against President Viktor F. Yanukovych and encouraging the occupation of government buildings across the country.
