Hi, I'm Leah with your morning headlines. Coming up... | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
We bid a fond farewell to the Winter Olympics in Sochi as the most | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
expensive Games in history comes to a close. | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
And it's goals galore as Liverpool and Swansea serve up a thriller at | :00:17. | :00:25. | |
Anfield. This is Newsround. But first to the Ukraine, where | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
after months of protests and nearly a week of violence, a temporary | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
President has been appointed. It comes after President Viktor | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
Yanukovych was forced out of power. The stand-in leader says he wants to | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
strengthen the country's relationship with Europe. | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
Politicians are meeting today to start working on a new government. | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
It's a big day in the world of tech as the world's mobile phone leaders | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
get together to outdo each other with their latest designs at the | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
Mobile World Congress in Barcelona today. Samsung are expected to show | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
off the Galaxy S5, an upgrade to its flagship smartphone. And wearable | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
tech is expecting to be big, with many companies set to show off new | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
smartwatches at the show too. Last night we bid goodbye to the | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
22nd Winter Olympics with a spectacular ceremony in Sochi. | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
Russia topped the medal table but it was a good Games for Team GB, who | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
passed the three-medal target set by UK Sport. Our athletes have been | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
promised extra funding for the next four years because they did so well. | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
So here's a look back at the icy highs and chilly lows of the past | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
few weeks. Not since 1924 have Great Britain | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
won four medals at a Winter Olympics, so as the ganes-mac were | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
brought to a close, Team GB could reflect on a job well done. -- as | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
the Games. Jenny Jones got the snowball rolling, with a bronze in | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
the snowboard slopestlye, Britain's first ever medal on the slopes. | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
Lizzy Yarnold then continued our fine tradition in the women's | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
skeleton, keeping the gold medal firmly in British hands. And then | :01:55. | :02:01. | |
the curlers had us all grabbing for our sweeping brushes, winning two | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
medals in this ancient and absorbing game. UK Sport invested ?13.4 | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
million in funding to achieve their medal target at the Games, but they | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
could have had even more. Elise Christie's three disqualifications | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
in short track were hard to take. Highly-rated slopestyle skier James | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
Woods was hit by a hip injury in training. And John Jackson's | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
bobsleigh crew led briefly on a tense final afternoon in the Sochi | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
sun. But not everyone was happy with the decision to hold the Games in | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
Sochi. Some people protested about the lack of rights in Russia, and | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
particularly the way the government there treats gay people. On the | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
slopes though, things have gone well. There was enough snow, plenty | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
of world records and some memories that will last a long time. And if | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
you're missing the action already, don't worry, because the Paralympics | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
starts in just under two weeks' time. | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
But were you inspired by Sochi? Well, looking at your messages to us | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
on the website, it looks like you definitely were. | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
Cameron in Somerset was inspired by Lizzy Yarnold to take up skeleton | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
bobsleigh. He is aiming to compete at the 2022 Winter Olympics. | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
Lucy from Guildford says, "I'm already an ice skater. Seeing how | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
young some of the athletes were has pushed my dream to go to the Winter | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
Olympics further." Thanks so much for all those | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
comments, keep them coming in. In the Premier League, there was | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
brilliant entertainment at Anfield yesterday as Liverpool kept their | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
title hopes alive with a fantastic 4-3 win over Swansea, in a match | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
that went back and forth several times. Daniel Sturridge gave the | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
home side the lead inside three minutes. Jordan Henderson made it | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
two shortly afterwards, but Swansea hit back with two goals in quick | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
succession from former Liverpool man Jonjo Shelvey and Wilfried Bony to | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
make it 2-2. The two sides traded goals again before Henderson | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
eventually grabbed the decisive seventh goal, to complete a big win | :03:45. | :03:54. | |
for Brendan Rodgers' side. I don't think we are at our best. | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
But credit to Swansea as well, because they pressed us quite well. | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
They denied us spaces at times. So, we know we can score goals. We know | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
we were not on one of our better days. But we are a team that has the | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
resilience to keep fighting. Showbiz now, and he won the Sound of | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
2014 earlier this year and now singer-songwriter sam smith has got | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
himself a number one single. He's at the top of the UK singles charts | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
with "Money On My Mind". It's thought Sam's success at the BRIT | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
awards, where he won the Critics Choice award, helped him sell over | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
100,000 copies. It's the first time the winner of that award has done | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
this. Last up, to a special delivery at | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
Brussels airport in Belgium. Excited fans were waiting for the arrival of | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
a pair of pandas who made a long journey from China. Sing Way, | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
meaning "twinkling star", and How How, meaning "cute", are on loan to | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
Belgium for 15 years. They'll start a special breeding programme and go | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
on show to the public in April. That's all from me, Newsround's back | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
right here in about half an hour. | :04:57. | :05:01. |
