Morning, everyone. I'm Leah, it's Saturday morning, and you're live

:00:00.:00:11.

with Newsround. First, there have been reports of

:00:12.:00:14.

violence overnight in the east of Ukraine as tensions grow ahead of a

:00:15.:00:17.

big vote. Tomorrow, the people of Crimea will decide whether or not

:00:18.:00:21.

the region should become part of Russia. Most of the people living

:00:22.:00:24.

there believe they are Russian, but the Ukraine government say this vote

:00:25.:00:28.

is against the constitution. The United States also believes the vote

:00:29.:00:32.

shouldn't go ahead. Next to the space man that you guys

:00:33.:00:36.

can't get enough of. We asked for your questions for the first British

:00:37.:00:39.

astronaut, Major Tim Peake, as he prepares for his 2015 mission to the

:00:40.:00:47.

International Space Station. Nel touched base with him from his

:00:48.:00:50.

training camp in Russia to see how he's getting on.

:00:51.:00:53.

Major Tim Peake, I have loads of questions sent in by our viewers.

:00:54.:00:56.

Are you ready? I certainly am. Mohamed in Wembley wants to know -

:00:57.:01:00.

how do you feel about going to the space station? As the time gets

:01:01.:01:04.

nearer, I get more excited, and the training is also becoming extremely

:01:05.:01:07.

relevant now to what I will be doing. It's been a fantastic

:01:08.:01:10.

journey, and it's getting better and better. Max in England has a

:01:11.:01:14.

question. He would like to know what kind of experiments you will be

:01:15.:01:17.

doing up there. There will be lots of experiments in areas such as

:01:18.:01:20.

medicine, fluid physics, and material sciences. Probably between

:01:21.:01:25.

50 and 70 hours of science is going to be done every week.

:01:26.:01:32.

After six weeks of bone-crunching tackles and mazy runs, Rugby Union's

:01:33.:01:37.

Six Nations comes to a close today. This year, the championship has gone

:01:38.:01:40.

right to the wire with Ireland, England and France all still in with

:01:41.:01:44.

a chance of winning the title. And with all six sides in action today,

:01:45.:01:48.

we want to hear your messages of support for your favourite team.

:01:49.:01:51.

Head on over to the Newsround website and get them in.

:01:52.:01:56.

After a week-long challenge for Sport Relief to sit on each of the

:01:57.:01:59.

45,000 seats at Wembley Stadium, we now have a winner. Watch out for the

:02:00.:02:04.

flashes coming up. Former England captain Alan Shearer beat Robbie

:02:05.:02:10.

Savage. They had to sit on a seat every four seconds for ten hours a

:02:11.:02:13.

day to complete the task in time. It's left them blistered and sore,

:02:14.:02:17.

but it's all been worth it to raise money.

:02:18.:02:22.

Now to the three-day-old baby gorilla recovering well after a

:02:23.:02:27.

life-saving operation. The infant was born at San Diego Zoo Safari

:02:28.:02:31.

Park in America, and officials had to carry out surgery on her lung,

:02:32.:02:35.

which wasn't working properly. She's now doing well and will be monitored

:02:36.:02:47.

around the clock by staff! Make sure you get the grown-ups in your family

:02:48.:02:57.

to check their lottery ticket. ?9 million where one last night.

:02:58.:03:00.

See you back here just before midday.

:03:01.:03:02.
