Hi, I'm Ricky with your evening Newsround update.

:00:07.:00:10.

First to Ukraine in Eastern Europe, where the former president is on the

:00:11.:00:14.

run from police who want to arrest him. President Yanukovych was thrown

:00:15.:00:17.

out over the weekend following months of protests against his ties

:00:18.:00:22.

with Russia. Things are now much calmer in the capital, Kiev, where

:00:23.:00:26.

people are mourning those who died in the violent demonstrations. Head

:00:27.:00:30.

to the website for lots more on this story, including Nel's report on the

:00:31.:00:34.

events of the past week and a picture gallery telling you how the

:00:35.:00:37.

protests came about. Next, Team GB's athletes have just

:00:38.:00:40.

arrived home from Sochi after equalling Britain's best medal haul

:00:41.:00:44.

at any Winter Games. They have been promised extra funding for the next

:00:45.:00:48.

few years because they did so well. All day on the website, you've been

:00:49.:00:51.

telling us how the games have inspired you.

:00:52.:01:17.

Be careful, Hana! Thanks for all those comments.

:01:18.:01:22.

Gadget makers are showing off their latest designs at the Mobile World

:01:23.:01:26.

Congress in Spain. There's plenty of wearable tech like smartwatches on

:01:27.:01:29.

show, with the likes of Samsung launching new designs. And this

:01:30.:01:33.

year, there is a big focus on affordable smartphones for the

:01:34.:01:36.

developing world, like this Firefox phone which will cost around ?15.

:01:37.:01:40.

Radio 1 gadget guru Jonathan Blake sent us this message - from his

:01:41.:01:45.

smartphone, of course. This is the place to come to see the

:01:46.:01:49.

latest technology before it hits the shops. There's smartphones on

:01:50.:01:52.

display here which are the most powerful, fastest and biggest we've

:01:53.:01:55.

seen yet, but also many cheaper phones, because companies are trying

:01:56.:01:58.

to appeal to the developing world, places where many people can't

:01:59.:02:03.

afford an expensive smartphone. That's one of the big themes this

:02:04.:02:06.

year. Also, wearable technology. We've heard about smartwatches

:02:07.:02:09.

before, but companies have struggled to get people to buy them in big

:02:10.:02:13.

numbers, so they're pushing those, too.

:02:14.:02:18.

Last up, what do you do when some drongo nicks your mango? That's what

:02:19.:02:21.

a town in Australia is wondering after theives pinched a

:02:22.:02:26.

ten-metre-high model of the fruit! The Big Mango tourist attraction was

:02:27.:02:29.

stolen overnight using cranes in Bowen, a town famous for its

:02:30.:02:34.

mangoes. It's one of over 150 super-size sculptures across the

:02:35.:02:36.

country. Officials are confident that the mango will be found,

:02:37.:02:39.

because it's going to be pretty difficult to hide it for long. Let's

:02:40.:02:43.

hope their mango search isn't "fruitless"! As you can see, the Big

:02:44.:02:47.

Mango has gone missing. It was definitely here yesterday, and when

:02:48.:02:50.

I came to work this morning, they've informed me that the Big Mango has

:02:51.:02:54.

gone missing. So I've come out and, true enough, it's no longer there.

:02:55.:02:58.

That's all from me. Newsround is back in the morning.
