Good morning. I'm Ayshah with news of space apprenticeships and the man

:00:00.:00:08.

who had his leg attached to his arm coming up on Newsround.

:00:09.:00:16.

To the latest on Ukraine first, and US President Barack Obama has warned

:00:17.:00:20.

Russia there will be costs if it sends troops to interfere with

:00:21.:00:23.

what's going on in the country. Yesterday, one of Ukraine's leading

:00:24.:00:26.

politicians accused Russia of starting an invasion after armed men

:00:27.:00:32.

took control of two major airports. Russia has denied that had anything

:00:33.:00:36.

to do with them, but they did put 150,000 troops on high alert on

:00:37.:00:38.

Ukraine's border earlier in the week.

:00:39.:00:45.

Next, budding engineers are being given the chance to sign up for

:00:46.:00:50.

elite space training. It's part of the UK government's plan to

:00:51.:00:52.

encourage more young people, interested in science and

:00:53.:00:54.

engineering, to get into the industry. They've launched the first

:00:55.:00:57.

university level apprenticeship in space training and believe that the

:00:58.:01:01.

UK space business will be worth ?30 billion in 20 years' time.

:01:02.:01:07.

Next, a man who had a world first operation to have part of his leg

:01:08.:01:11.

re-attached to his arm has been speaking about how it saved his

:01:12.:01:15.

life. It was feared there was nothing doctors could do after Ian

:01:16.:01:18.

McGregor was diagnosed with a large tumour at the top of his leg. But in

:01:19.:01:22.

an 18-hour operation, doctors removed the lower leg, attached it

:01:23.:01:26.

to his arm to keep it growing, removed the tumour and then grafted

:01:27.:01:31.

the muscles back onto the skin. Ian says it's like something out of a

:01:32.:01:37.

film. They took the calf off, implanted it into your right arm so

:01:38.:01:42.

they can keep it alive. I thought,"It's just amazing, what

:01:43.:01:46.

they can do". It's Star Trekky! It's getting into the realms of...

:01:47.:01:53.

Next, it's one of the most popular programmes on CBBC, and yesterday

:01:54.:01:55.

Leanne Dunstan and Kasey McKellar, who play Faith and Bailey in The

:01:56.:01:59.

Dumping Ground, stopped by Newsround to have a chat. Leah put some of

:02:00.:02:03.

your questions to them. This is from Catherine. She says, "How long have

:02:04.:02:07.

you been acting for, and how old were you when you started acting?"

:02:08.:02:11.

I've been doing it from a very, very young age, but professionally I'd

:02:12.:02:15.

say the last five, six years. I started when I was 13. I went to an

:02:16.:02:20.

agency not far from where I live. I got in, and I got signed with the

:02:21.:02:24.

agency. I was 14. It just kicked off from there, really. This is from Max

:02:25.:02:28.

in Southampton. He says, "Is it hard making the episodes at all?" With

:02:29.:02:32.

acting, people think it's easy. It's not really easy when you have to

:02:33.:02:36.

wake up about five o'clock, four thirty, and you go till lunchtime

:02:37.:02:39.

and you finish about seven o'clock sometimes. It is quite demanding.

:02:40.:02:47.

You have to really love it and you have to be really, really passionate

:02:48.:02:50.

about it. And you can see the guys answer more of your questions later

:02:51.:02:54.

today on CBBC or right now on the Newsround website.

:02:55.:02:57.

That's it. We're back just before midday.

:02:58.:03:01.
