Hello. I'm Jenny, live with all the news you need to know this Saturday. | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
Keep watching or you'll miss all this: | :00:17. | :00:18. | |
The houses which have more in common with frogs than you might think. | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
And the two giant pandas making a big journey to Belgium. | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
First to Ukraine, a country that looks on the brink of revolution. In | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
the capital city Kiev, there have been weeks of demonstrations against | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
the country's president, Victor Yanukovich. Those clashes turned | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
more violent in the past few days, with dozens killed and many injured. | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
A deal was signed yesterday, promising elections before the end | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
of this year. But today things have moved even further on. At the | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
moment, there is no sign of the president in the capital city. His | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
official government buildings have been abandoned. As you can see from | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
these live pictures, protestors still line the streets of Kiev, | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
demanding that President Yanukovich resign immediately. They don't want | :01:04. | :01:13. | |
any deals to be done. Not they will not except any | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
agreements and demand that he stands down. Some people say he is hiding | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
in a city in eastern Ukraine, loyal to the current government. Others | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
say he has left the country altogether. Is no way to confirm or | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
deny the reports. It is empty and calm in Kiev for now. | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
We'll keep you updated on what happens as the day goes on and if | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
you want to know more about what's been happening in Ukraine, head to | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
the website where there's more detail on how this came about. | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
Next, the recent flooding in the UK has caused chaos, and millions of | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
pounds worth of damage. But rather than turning to sandbags in times of | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
crisis, there could be a new way to build flood proof houses. In the | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
Netherlands, they have built floating, amphibious homes that | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
adapt to the rising water levels. Take a look at this. | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
On the inside, they look like any regular house but on the outside the | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
view tells you they are anything but. These are floating houses in | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
the Netherlands built on cement blocks. When the water rises - so do | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
the houses - making them flood-proof. Let's take a look | :02:19. | :02:28. | |
around one. I am on the outskirts of Amsterdam. Is a floating community. | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
The homes work on the basis of the Archimedes principle. Have a look at | :02:35. | :02:43. | |
this view. If we go into the basement, life goes on below the | :02:44. | :02:52. | |
surface of the lake. So is this something we should be doing in the | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
UK, in areas at risk of flooding? We are looking at the possibilities in | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
the UK. It is a combination of floating houses and amphibious | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
houses. Like frogs, amphibious houses can live on land and on | :03:10. | :03:20. | |
water. It does cost a bit more to build them but the idea is that | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
spending more money making houses flood-proof means you won't have to | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
pay the expensive clean-up costs that flooding can cause. Housing | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
planners from Britain, America and India have already been over to the | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
Netherlands to check out this buoyant idea. So it may be that in | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
the future, this could be the view you wake up to in the morning. | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
It's another big weekend of Six Nations rugby action. In today's | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
early kick-off, Italy take on Scotland in Rome, with both sides | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
looking for their first win. Last night, Wales put in a thumping win | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
over France. A try from George North helped give the Welsh a healthy 20 | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
points to six lead at half-time. And when France had Louis Pickamole sent | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
to the sin bin, Wales captain Sam Warburton made it over the line to | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
finish the job. That result means Ireland are the | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
only side unbeaten in the championship now. Centre Brian | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
O'Driscoll will equal the world record for international caps with | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
139, when his side take on England at Twickenham at 4pm. | :04:15. | :04:25. | |
The home support will count in my side's favour. Twickenham is an | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
inspirational place to play. You walk down the corridor of fans and | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
it brings it home to the magnitude of the game. | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
The Winter Olympics in Sochi draws to a close this weekend, and we now | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
know who will have the honour of carrying Team GB's flag in | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
tomorrow's closing ceremony. And it will be Lizzy Yarnold - the gold | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
medal-winning skeleton superstar - who will wave the Union flag and | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
lead her team-mates out in Sunday's grand finale to the Games. | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
One British star who might be glad to see the back of these games is | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
speed skater Elise Christie, who was disqualified for the third time | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
yesterday. The Brit was penalised for a collision, in her 1,000 metre | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
short track semifinal. Had she won GB's fifth medal, it would have been | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
the nation's best ever total at a Winter Olympics. Afterwards she said | :05:14. | :05:21. | |
she couldn't understand what had gone wrong. | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
I am devastated. Not being given the chance to do the final, I can't | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
believe it has happened again. I will come back in four years try | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
again. I will work hard. Last up, two giant pandas from China | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
are on their way to Belgium where they will be the star attractions in | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
a zoo. Xing Hui, who's a boy, and Hao Hao, who's a girl, are both four | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
years old and have been leased to the zoo in Belgium for 15 years. | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
They will arrive tomorrow afternoon. That's all from me. Newsround is | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
back at 1:30pm. Bye. | :06:01. | :06:01. |
