Hi, I'm Leah with your Newsround. On today's show...

We'll reveal the Sport Relief backside champ.

And keep watching to find out what this is all about. Only on

Newsround. First to Ukraine, where there has

once again been violence as tensions grow ahead of a big vote. Tomorrow

the people of Crimea will decide whether or not the region should

become part of Russia. Most of the people living there believe they are

Russian, but the Ukrainian government say this vote breaks

international law. The United States also believes the vote shouldn't go

ahead. Next, he's going to be the first British astronaut to visit the

International Space Station next year. Major Tim Peake is busy

preparing for his mission at a training camp in Russia. But he

found the time to chat to Nel and answer some of your questions.

We have engineers, scientists who have all become astronauts. The main

thing is to be passionate and as good as you can be. A question from

Kate. Can you keep pets in space? Yes, you can, they are pets that

belong to the space programme. For example, fish had been taken up.

What UK food are you going to mess? I have already been told that I can

bring tea bags. Fresh pizza and fresh bread either things I will

mess. George from Croydon wants to know, when you are stuck up in space

first six months, what will you do if you followed with the other

astronauts? I think the main thing is to try and not followed with the

crew. We do a lot of training. But if you do fall out there is plenty

of space to take yourself away. There is actually quite a large

space aboard. All this week you've been sending us

your amazing robot designs. From robots that save injured fish to

ones that help the police catch criminals, they've all been

brilliant. So before the weekend is out we wanted to show you a few

more. Maisy has sent in this one called Pharell Williams. He dances

to make you happy and loves fairtrade bananas. Natasha's robot

is called Jasmine. She plays music and doubles up as a karaoke machine.

It has a built-in Sky dish and is charged by sun panels. And you can

buy Abi and Rebecca's robot for ?115. It can walk, talk and help

people put their lipstick on. Thanks for all of those, guys, and we'll

try and get as many as we can up on the website.

Next, will it be England, Ireland or France? Today is the final day of

Rugby Union's Six Nations competition with all three teams

still in with a chance of glory. England are currently beating Italy

45-11. But it doesn't matter what Stuart Lancaster's men do if Ireland

beat France later this afternoon. It'll be an emotional day for

Ireland's Brian O'Driscoll who will play his final match for his

country. This weekend will be the last time I do certain things. That

is starting to get home. There will be a lot of emotion this week but

hopefully I can keep it in check and projected in the most positive

ways. And you lot clearly can't wait for this afternoon's games to start.

You've been sending in your good luck messages. Tracy's granny and

grandad are getting in on the excitement. She says they'll be

cheering England on all the way. Siani's not sure who to support. She

says, Come on Ireland! I wished that Wales could win, but now it's

England and Ireland. And John wants Brian O'Driscoll to go out with a

bang. He says, "Brian you're the best player I have ever seen. I hope

you score a few tries and I hope Ireland win." Thanks so much for all

those comments, keep them coming in. After a week-long challenge for

Sport Relief to sit on 45,000 seats at Wembley Stadium each, we now have

a winner - watch out for the flashes coming up. Former England captain

Alan Shearer beat fellow footballer Robbie Savage. They had to sit on a

seat every four seconds for ten hours a day to complete the task in

time. It's left them a little bit blistered and sore but they say it's

all been been worth it to raise money.

Now, this guy wasn't just horsing around when he flew through the air

dangling from a helicopter. He was being rescued from the bottom of a

canyon in America after an accident. The horse was put into a special

harness before being lifted to safety. He seems pretty relaxed

about the whole thing. And the three-day-old baby gorilla

recovering well after a life-saving operation. Officials at San Diego

Zoo had to carry out surgery on her lung which wasn't working properly.

She's now doing well and will be monitored around the clock by staff.

And before you go, make sure you get the grown-ups in your family to

check their Lottery tickets. Last night one lucky Brit scooped the

107.9 million pound Euro millions jackpot - the fourth biggest UK

winner in National Lottery history. I'm back here tomorrow morning at

0855. See you then.
