Hello, I'm Jenny. You're live with Newsround. We have an action-packed

:00:00.:00:12.

show for you today. Coming up in the next few minutes: There will be no

:00:13.:00:16.

dream gold medal for Eve Muirhead in Sochi, but the men still have a

:00:17.:00:18.

chance. And here at the O2 Arena in London,

:00:19.:00:22.

we're gearing up for a massive night of showbiz. It's the biggest night

:00:23.:00:28.

in British music, the Brit Awards. First though, we're heading to

:00:29.:00:31.

Ukraine in eastern Europe where clashes continue in the capital city

:00:32.:00:34.

Kiev between the police and protesters who want the country's

:00:35.:00:36.

president to leave. The demonstrations began three months

:00:37.:00:39.

ago, but last night the violence got a lot worse. Riot police fired

:00:40.:00:44.

explosives, trying to drive people out of the main protest camp. But

:00:45.:00:47.

protesters fought back throwing bricks, bottles and stones.

:00:48.:00:52.

Officials say at least 26 people have died and hundreds were injured

:00:53.:00:55.

in these latest clashes and the stand-off continues today. Leaders

:00:56.:00:59.

in Europe and across the world are calling for Ukraine's government to

:01:00.:01:05.

act now to end the violence. So what has caused this? Ukraine is

:01:06.:01:09.

a country divided over whether it should be closer to Europe or

:01:10.:01:12.

Russia. Many Ukrainians, including the country's president, want to

:01:13.:01:16.

remain close to Russia. So why do they think that's a good idea?

:01:17.:01:21.

Russia has given lots of money to Ukraine. And cheap gas, which is

:01:22.:01:24.

used for energy. There's history here too. Ukraine was once together

:01:25.:01:28.

with Russia as part of the Soviet Union, and many people there still

:01:29.:01:31.

speak Russian. But lots of other Ukrainians want closer ties to the

:01:32.:01:36.

European Union. The big reasons are: It could mean more money as it will

:01:37.:01:40.

be easier to trade with countries in Europe, The European Union has rules

:01:41.:01:43.

which say that all people must be treated fairly, They want to break

:01:44.:01:46.

the country's old ties with Russia for a new future with Europe.

:01:47.:01:51.

Next to Sochi. We've all been watching in the Newsround office but

:01:52.:01:54.

there'll be no gold medal for Eve Muirhead's women in the curling,

:01:55.:01:58.

after they lost their semifinal to a dominant Canada. Team GB just

:01:59.:02:00.

couldn't catch up with the Canadians, who remain unbeaten at

:02:01.:02:04.

the Games so far and are hot favourites for the gold medal.

:02:05.:02:08.

There's still a chance of a bronze medal though if they beat

:02:09.:02:11.

Switzerland in a play-off on Thursday.

:02:12.:02:16.

So let's see how the men are getting on in their semifinal. These are the

:02:17.:02:19.

live pictures. Dave Murdoch's gang are playing Sweden who beat them 8-4

:02:20.:02:23.

in the round-robin stage, but as you see now, it's pretty close. It's 2-1

:02:24.:02:27.

to Sweden at the halfway stage. Come on guys!

:02:28.:02:31.

In the Champions League tonight, Arsenal have a massive challenge as

:02:32.:02:34.

they take on reigning champions Bayern Munich. England star Jack

:02:35.:02:38.

Wilshere could be back for the Gunners, who've failed to make it

:02:39.:02:41.

past the first knockout stage for three years running. But the mighty

:02:42.:02:45.

Bayern have lost only once in 35 matches!

:02:46.:02:50.

Well, tonight we can't stop dancing to the best awards ever. Yes, the

:02:51.:02:53.

Brit Awards extravaganza kicks off in a few hours time, so we just had

:02:54.:02:58.

to be there. And our presenter on the red carpet is Ayshah! Hi Jenny.

:02:59.:03:09.

Welcome to the Brit Awards here in London! Some of music's biggest

:03:10.:03:14.

names will be arriving soon. At the moment all the press and

:03:15.:03:16.

photographers are busy setting up but this is where we'll be to get

:03:17.:03:20.

interviews with some of your favourite stars as they arrive. OK,

:03:21.:03:27.

it's fair to say that last year's awards got some criticism for being

:03:28.:03:31.

a bit boring, so who are we expecting to see tonight? There's no

:03:32.:03:36.

shortage of big names this time. Of course, being the Brits, there's

:03:37.:03:39.

loads of big British names like Bastille, One Direction, Jessie J,

:03:40.:03:44.

Ellie Goulding and Rudimental. But there'll be international glamour

:03:45.:03:50.

too: Katy Perry and Pharell Williams will both perform tonight. And we're

:03:51.:03:53.

hearing rumours that none other than Beyonce may make an appearance too!

:03:54.:03:58.

Who's tipped to win big tonight then? We hear it could be a big

:03:59.:04:03.

night for Ellie Goulding. Yes, Ellie Goulding is the favourite to win

:04:04.:04:06.

British female while the Arctic Monkeys are hotly tipped to win both

:04:07.:04:12.

British group and British album. And the One Direction boys look dead

:04:13.:04:16.

certs to take home the award for British video if the Directioners

:04:17.:04:19.

have their say. The winner's decided by a public vote on Twitter tonight.

:04:20.:04:25.

The awards start at 8pm on ITV and for the first time they're being

:04:26.:04:28.

streamed live online as well. I'll be back at 6.50pm here on the red

:04:29.:04:32.

carpet with the latest. And last up, some ultra-cute

:04:33.:04:35.

pictures from Indonesia, where a safari park has welcomed a new

:04:36.:04:38.

arrival. This is Dana the orangutan, enjoying a cuddle with his mum,

:04:39.:04:42.

Dina. He's her third baby and brings the park's total to 25. Orangutans

:04:43.:04:49.

are considered endangered in the wild, because their natural

:04:50.:04:51.

rainforest habitat is being turned into farmland.

:04:52.:04:56.

Just before we go, head online for the amazing story of how reindeer in

:04:57.:04:59.

Finland are being given glow-in-the-dark antlers to try and

:05:00.:05:01.

help protect them
