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 | :05:02. | :05:02. |
