Good morning, everyone, Ricky here with your morning Newsround. A

:00:00.:00:16.

brand-new dinosaur discovery that looks like a giant chicken I have

:00:17.:00:20.

been taking a look at the very latest wearable technology gadgets.

:00:21.:00:31.

. First up, Prime Minister David Cameron will meet other European

:00:32.:00:38.

leaders today to talk about what tough rules they can put on Russia

:00:39.:00:42.

after the country's take over of Crimea, a region in southern

:00:43.:00:45.

Ukraine. A vote was held in Crimea at the weekend in which most people

:00:46.:00:49.

said they wanted to leave Ukraine and become part of Russia instead.

:00:50.:00:52.

But other countries don't think this vote was held fairly and lawfully.

:00:53.:00:56.

Ban Ki-moon, the head of the United Nations, is also going to Russia to

:00:57.:00:59.

talk with Russian President Putin. Next, dinosaur news. Scientists in

:01:00.:01:03.

America say they have discovered a new species of dinosaur which they

:01:04.:01:06.

think proves they were still evolving when they went extinct. It

:01:07.:01:10.

looks a bit like a giant chicken and has been identified from three

:01:11.:01:13.

different skeletons found in the fossil rich Hell Creek area of the

:01:14.:01:18.

state of North and South Dakota. Scientists say that even for a

:01:19.:01:21.

dinosaur this one was pretty weird looking. Next to the technology that

:01:22.:01:26.

is shaping our lives from the clothes that help us to keep fit to

:01:27.:01:30.

jewellery that monitors if we have had enough sleep. The very latest

:01:31.:01:33.

wearable technology has been on show in London this week so I went to

:01:34.:01:37.

find out how some of it is changing the way we live.

:01:38.:01:44.

We know technology is getting a lot faster and a lot smaller, it is also

:01:45.:01:55.

getting a lot more wearable. Let me show you this smart jacket which

:01:56.:02:00.

connects to your smartphone and it can tell you whether you are running

:02:01.:02:05.

fast enough or too slow or if you need to pick up the pace and it does

:02:06.:02:11.

that by flashing. This will flash on and off if you are not running fast

:02:12.:02:16.

enough, but it will stay on if you are on target. These are no ordinary

:02:17.:02:24.

shorts. Inside them they have sensors which can measure the

:02:25.:02:33.

movements in your muscles. There are things like wearable cameras and

:02:34.:02:38.

fitness monitors telling me how far I have run. We have all grown to

:02:39.:02:44.

love our gadgets. Most of them connect to our smartphones. This

:02:45.:02:51.

company has created a special film which you can put on the inner

:02:52.:02:57.

components of your mobile phone so it can be protected from water and

:02:58.:03:02.

it works when it is wet. While all of the gadgets are exciting and fun

:03:03.:03:08.

to use, a lot of people think smart glasses will not be on the streets

:03:09.:03:13.

until a couple of years time, but they believe this really is the

:03:14.:03:17.

future. Make sure you are back in front of CBBC in half an hour as I

:03:18.:03:22.

will be meeting the man who is known as the most connected human on

:03:23.:03:25.

earth. Basically he wears a lot of wearable tech. You have got

:03:26.:03:30.

something monitoring your heartbeat and you are taking photos as we

:03:31.:03:34.

speak and it is detecting how fast you are walking. And I am wearing a

:03:35.:03:40.

belt which tells me if I am sitting up straight. Sport now and Robin van

:03:41.:03:44.

Persie's hat-trick last night meant a fantastic comeback for Manchester

:03:45.:03:48.

United over Olympiakos. David Moyes' side won 3-2 on aggregate, taking

:03:49.:03:51.

them into the Champions League quarterfinals. Van Persie's first

:03:52.:03:54.

came from a penalty midway through the first half at Old Trafford. Then

:03:55.:03:57.

just before half-time he scored his second and levelled the tie overall.

:03:58.:04:01.

And he sealed the deal with a second-half free kick. Supporters

:04:02.:04:04.

then faced an agonising 40 minutes as United held on for the win. Could

:04:05.:04:07.

this mean they have turned around their fortunes? That similar

:04:08.:04:15.

question has been asked of me certain times, is it the moment? In

:04:16.:04:20.

truth it has not been and we have not gone on to show it. All I can

:04:21.:04:25.

tell you is we will try and use it the best we can. It is a big job and

:04:26.:04:30.

I have got a lot of things I need to do and it will take time to happen.

:04:31.:04:37.

Finally we meet these two furry creatures, 14-week-old twin polar

:04:38.:04:40.

bear cubs from a zoo in Germany. They have been presented to the

:04:41.:04:43.

public for the first time. The two cubs and mother explored their

:04:44.:04:46.

outside enclosure, bonding well as a family. Keepers say the mother is

:04:47.:04:50.

looking after the Cubs very well and all three are in a good condition.

:04:51.:04:56.

Head over to the website for news about how the flappy bird app might

:04:57.:04:58.

be coming back.
