http://www.euronews.net/ Supporters of jailed former Ukrainian prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko have clashed with security forces at the start of her appeal hearing.

Scuffles broke out as demonstrators demanding her freedom gathered outside the court in Kiev. When some tried to storm the building, riot police pushed them back.

The 51-year-old herself remains behind bars, unable to attend court, her lawyer says, because of health problems.
