Ukraine's crisis deepens amongst rebel vote

Ukraine's president is to chair a crisis meeting of security chiefs, after a rebel-held vote that he said jeopardised "the entire peace process". Petro Poroshenko proposed scrapping a law, agreed under the 5 September truce deal, which gives special status to the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk areas. Under the truce, the regions were to hold Ukraine-run elections in December. The two pro-Russian separatist leaders declared to have won Sunday's polls are being sworn in. Western states say the rebel-held elections were illegal but Russia backed them.
