Hello, Jenny here, live on CBBC with your Tuesday morning Newsround.

:00:00.:00:10.

Coming up... Who do you want to see on the front cover of your

:00:11.:00:13.

magazines? And... The massive medical breakthrough that could

:00:14.:00:15.

bring hope to people who've been paralysed.

:00:16.:00:23.

But we'll start with Ukraine in Eastern Europe. People there who

:00:24.:00:28.

want closer ties with Russia have taken over government buildings in

:00:29.:00:31.

three big cities in the east of the country. This includes the city of

:00:32.:00:35.

Donetsk, where demonstrators want to break away from Ukraine and are

:00:36.:00:40.

calling for a vote, next month. A few weeks ago, neighbouring country

:00:41.:00:42.

Russia took over Ukraine's southern region of Crimea. Ukraine is a

:00:43.:00:46.

country divided over whether to be closer to Russia or to the European

:00:47.:00:50.

Union, and has been in crisis during recent months. Next to what could be

:00:51.:00:54.

a huge medical breakthrough. Four paralysed men who had been unable to

:00:55.:00:58.

move from the chest down can now move their legs, after a new

:00:59.:01:01.

treatment in America. Special electrical pulses were used to

:01:02.:01:04.

stimulate the men's spinal cords, meaning they were able to move legs,

:01:05.:01:07.

hips, ankles and toes, though they're not yet able to walk on

:01:08.:01:12.

their own. Researchers say it could bring hope to millions of people

:01:13.:01:19.

who've been paralysed. Next, who do you want to see on the front of your

:01:20.:01:23.

favourite magazine? Well, the people behind Britain's longest-running

:01:24.:01:26.

pre-teen mag, Girl Talk, say they're going to start putting new faces on

:01:27.:01:30.

their front cover. The magazine's bosses say they want to show young

:01:31.:01:34.

girls there are plenty of good female role models out there. Take a

:01:35.:01:43.

look at Leah's report... When you flick through your favourite

:01:44.:01:47.

magazines, you are probably used to seeing pop stars, dancers and actors

:01:48.:01:52.

on them, but would a magazine with scientists, politicians or sports

:01:53.:01:55.

stars make you think any differently? The magazine found that

:01:56.:02:02.

the majority of its readers aspire to be an actor, dance or singer.

:02:03.:02:07.

Well, a quarter of its readers said the most important way for them to

:02:08.:02:12.

be described was pretty. So what are magazine bosses doing to change

:02:13.:02:18.

that? There is no problem with wanting to see pop stars or liking

:02:19.:02:22.

them or looking up to them. Our campaign is about making sure that

:02:23.:02:26.

girls see other people to look up to. Who can we expect in the

:02:27.:02:33.

magazine in the future? The cover is something we will work on gently,

:02:34.:02:36.

but we will have Jessica Ennis-Hill on the cover in the future. We've

:02:37.:02:41.

never had a sports person on the cover before. We will also be

:02:42.:02:46.

putting lots more sportswomen inside the magazine, politicians,

:02:47.:02:50.

inventors, science specialists, all sorts of people for our readers to

:02:51.:02:55.

learn about. I would love to have Malala Yousafzai on the cover

:02:56.:02:58.

eventually, once our readers know more about her. There are some

:02:59.:03:03.

people who might say if you do go for a sports star, someone like Jess

:03:04.:03:08.

Ennis, she is really pretty. Do you feel you aren't really pushing the

:03:09.:03:13.

boundaries here or making much of a change? It is really complicated.

:03:14.:03:17.

Pushing the boundaries, I feel with this has to be done quite gently. We

:03:18.:03:23.

can't do a massive, radical change because our think -- think our

:03:24.:03:26.

readers will be put off. We need to ease in the new ideas gently. But it

:03:27.:03:33.

is an important thing for us to do. We are very excited about making

:03:34.:03:36.

some positive changes. And we want to know who you think would make a

:03:37.:03:40.

good role model for the front cover of your favourite magazine? Get

:03:41.:03:44.

online and let us know. Sport now, and Sunderland boss Gus Poyet says

:03:45.:03:47.

only a miracle can save his side from relegation. That's after a

:03:48.:03:50.

painful 5-1 defeat away to Tottenham in the Premier League last night.

:03:51.:03:53.

Even though Sunderland scored first, they crumbled under pressure from

:03:54.:03:56.

Spurs and with the Black Cats bottom of the league, their manager is

:03:57.:04:05.

beginning to lose hope. Seven points from safety, seven games left, what

:04:06.:04:09.

sort of achievement would be from there to stay up? A miracle,

:04:10.:04:16.

probably. Realistically. We didn't win a game in the last six or seven

:04:17.:04:21.

and now we need to win four from seven, you need something very

:04:22.:04:24.

special. And Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is confident his side can

:04:25.:04:27.

make a comeback in their Champions League second leg against Paris

:04:28.:04:30.

St-Germain. They're two goals behind but all it'll take is to score more.

:04:31.:04:39.

In the end of the two legs, I think we want to score more goals than

:04:40.:04:47.

them. In this moment... I think in the end it can be 4-3. Or 5-4. I

:04:48.:04:53.

think we are That's all from me, but I'm back in about half an hour's

:04:54.:04:56.

time. Going to do it. Bye!
