Our correspondent in Sloviansk David Stern says no one knows who carried out the assault there.

The gunmen seem to be extremely well-organized, we saw these the barricades already erected within minutes of our arrival in the town of Sloviansk. We also saw town’s numerous checkpoints and roadblocks on the road going from Donetsk and a couple of roads going from Donetsk to Sloviansk. And the gunmen all seem to be very well-equipped, they were wearing these unmarked green uniforms, which has been seen, we also saw in Crimea. Now, the question that everyone is asking is who is exactly these people are? They say that they are the local defense unit.

Thousands of people, many of them suffering serious illnesses have taken part in a demonstration in Chile's capital Santiago to demand a reform of the health system. Gideon Long was there.

The people on the march say the state should be doing more to help all the Chileans pay for the high cost of medical care. Chile is one of only three countries in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, the OECD, in which private spending on health care outstrips public spending. People here say that should be reversed. It's a quite emotive demonstration, I'm seeing people here walking on crutches, people in wheelchairs, there are people here who have terminal cancer who came out to the streets to make their voices heard.
