Hello there, I'm Ricky, and I've got some big news coming up this | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
afternoon. The giant model mango that's gone missing down under. And | :00:09. | :00:14. | |
the American football stadium going down with a big bang. This is | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
Newsround. First, we're bringing you the very | :00:18. | :00:25. | |
latest from Ukraine. It's been all over the news for the past few | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
weeks, with pictures of huge demonstrations and burning streets | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
in its capital city. What began as a series of protests against the | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
president's decision to form closer ties with Russia developed into | :00:36. | :00:41. | |
something of a revolution. Now the president has been forced from power | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
and there's a new set of people in charge. Here's Nel to explain what's | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
been going on. Tuesday the 18th of February, people | :00:48. | :00:57. | |
have been demonstrating against the president for months, but last week | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
things turned violent. Clashes between protesters and police left | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
dozens dead and hundreds more injured. Thursday, two days later, | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
the country held a national day of mourning, but the violence carried | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
on and more people died. Friday the 21st, President Yanukovych signed a | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
deal with opposition leaders, but the protesters wanted more. They | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
demanded that the president resign. Saturday, things begin to move very | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
quickly. Protesters took control of the capital city, Kirch. President | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
Yanukovych was nowhere to be seen. Parliament voted to remove him from | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
power. Sunday, by the end of the weekend, Ukraine had a stand-in | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
president, but still no-one could be sure where President Yanukovych had | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
gone. As Ukraine's parliament tries to | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
pull together a new government, thousands of protestors are still in | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
the centre of the capital city Kiev, which is a calmer, more reflective | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
place than it was a few days ago. BBC reporter Duncan Crawford centres | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
this. This is Independence Square, it has been a protest camp for the | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
last three months, but last week it turned into a battle zone. Almost | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
100 people died and it has become a shrine to the dead. Just look at all | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
the flowers which have been laid, so many people crying, upset here about | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
the huge loss of life. And people blame the President, President | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
Yanukovych, who has gone missing, he is on the run, and an arrest warrant | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
was issued for him today. So far, no-one knows where he is, though. | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
There is no police in the square at the moment, no security, and the men | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
who remain in charge of the centre of Kiev of the men who manned | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
barricades like this. Head to the website for lots more on | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
this story, including a picture gallery showing the inside of the | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
former president's palace, and to find out more about the history of | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
the troubled country. Mobile-phone makers are showing off | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
their latest designs at the Mobile World Congress in Spain. There's | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
plenty of wearable tech like smart watches on show. They haven't taken | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
off yet, but that isn't stopping the likes of Samsung launching new | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
designs. And this year there's a big focus on affordable smartphones for | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
the developing world, like this Firefox phone. It costs around ?15. | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
Radio 1 gadget guru Jonathan Blake sent us this message, from his | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
smartphone, of course. This is the place to come to see the latest | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
technology before it hits the shops. There are smartphones on | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
display here which are the most powerful, fastest and biggest we | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
have seen yet. But also many cheaper phones, because companies are trying | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
to appeal to the developing world, places where many people cannot | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
afford an expensive smartphone. That is one of the big themes, also | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
wearable technology. We have heard about smart watches before, | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
companies have struggled to get people to buy them, so they are | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
pushing them too. A massive mango hunt is going on in | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
Australia after thieves nicked a 10-metre high model of the fruit! | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
The Big Mango tourist attraction was stolen overnight using cranes in | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
Bowen, a town famous for its mangoes. It's one of over 150 | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
super-size sculptures across the country. Officials are confident the | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
mango will be found because it's going to be pretty difficult to hide | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
it for long. Well, as you can see, the big Mango has gone missing! It | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
was definitely here yesterday, and when I came to work this morning, I | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
was informed that had gone missing. Sure enough, it is no longer there. | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
We will keep you updated on that one, for sure. Last up, from a big | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
fruit to an even bigger explosion. This American football stadium in | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
Minneapolis had its concrete ring beam brought down in a controlled | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
explosion yesterday. The Metrodome was voted America's worst stadium by | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
a magazine in 2012. It's being demolished to make way for a | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
brand-new venue. That's all from me, Newsround's back at 6:50, see you | :04:56. | :04:56. | |
then. | :04:57. | :04:59. |
