Hi, Ricky here with the biggest stories from around the world.

:00:00.:00:07.

Coming up, we go back to school with Winter Paralympic star Millie

:00:08.:00:09.

Knight. And we bring you Downhill Ice Cross!

:00:10.:00:15.

First up, the crisis in Crimea and Ukraine will be discussed by Prime

:00:16.:00:18.

Minister David Cameron and other world leaders during a series of

:00:19.:00:21.

meetings being held in the Netherlands today. Nuclear security

:00:22.:00:27.

is officially the main topic of the meeting but the problems in Ukraine

:00:28.:00:35.

will become the main talking point. The man in charge of Russia,

:00:36.:00:38.

Vladimir Putin, won't be there, but the country's Foreign Minister

:00:39.:00:45.

Sergey Lavrov will be. Now the start of the school week

:00:46.:00:49.

might not feel all that exciting for you right now. But for Winter

:00:50.:00:54.

Paralympic star Millie Knight today's about as good as it gets.

:00:55.:00:58.

The teenager's back for her first full week in class following her

:00:59.:01:02.

starring role in Sochi. And we sent Nel to meet her as she caught up

:01:03.:01:06.

with her friends for the first time since getting back.

:01:07.:01:08.

She is the youngest ever British winter Paralympian in history. Now

:01:09.:01:14.

after all the excitement of Sochi 2014, Millie Knight is back at her

:01:15.:01:18.

school and I am going to catch up with her. Our first stop is heading

:01:19.:01:26.

to see her friends. When you were watching her on television, millions

:01:27.:01:30.

of people across the world were watching the same thing. What was

:01:31.:01:34.

that like? It was amazing to know that we knew someone that everyone

:01:35.:01:39.

was watching. I never thought that she would be everywhere. Her friends

:01:40.:01:46.

are impressed but what does Millie feel about her experience? It is

:01:47.:01:50.

amazing. Hearing the national anthem when Kelly won the gold medal was

:01:51.:01:55.

very emotional. How did you find out that you would be going? In January,

:01:56.:02:03.

I got a phone call and picked it up and all I heard was,

:02:04.:02:05.

congratulations, you have been picked for the team on your

:02:06.:02:09.

birthday. What was it like to be the flag bearer? The crowd was roaring

:02:10.:02:17.

and it was amazing. Millie came fifth in the slalom and giant slalom

:02:18.:02:22.

event, and that 15, she says she is pretty pleased with that

:02:23.:02:26.

achievement. It was incredible to come top five. I was almost crying

:02:27.:02:31.

at the bottom. Rachel said, you are fifth, and I was like, wow.

:02:32.:02:37.

Millie's next goal is the 2018 games where she wants to win a medal but

:02:38.:02:42.

until then, she hopes her story has inspired other children. Anything is

:02:43.:02:47.

possible. If you are passionate about doing something, go and do it.

:02:48.:02:51.

Now, we all love a cute animal, but the vet involved in one of CBBC's

:02:52.:02:55.

newest shows has told Newsround that dogs are more difficult to care for

:02:56.:02:58.

then you might think. "Meet the Pups" started today and follows

:02:59.:03:01.

newborn Springer Spaniels Betsy, Biscuit and Bonzo for the first

:03:02.:03:06.

eight weeks of their lives. We'll see them as they grow, make new

:03:07.:03:10.

friends and start to sniff out trouble. But consultant vet on the

:03:11.:03:16.

show Scott Miller says even though they're really cute, young puppies

:03:17.:03:18.

can be a handful. If you were thinking about getting a

:03:19.:03:22.

puppy, do research and remember that they take up a lot of time and

:03:23.:03:26.

energy. And they do cost quite a bit of money. And you have to remember,

:03:27.:03:30.

have you got the right space? Speak to the vet and have a good

:03:31.:03:33.

conversation with your parents to make sure you choose the right

:03:34.:03:37.

breed. A mighty 42 goals were scored in the Premier League over the

:03:38.:03:40.

weekend, one short of the record. Ten of them came yesterday.

:03:41.:03:43.

Tottenham came back from two goals down to beat Southampton 3-2. Stoke

:03:44.:03:49.

also came from behind to beat Aston Villa 4-1 to claim their first

:03:50.:03:52.

Premier League away win since August.

:03:53.:03:55.

Tennis and Andy Murray will play Jo-Wilfired Tsonga in the fourth

:03:56.:03:58.

round of the Miami Masters after beating Feliciano Lopez in straight

:03:59.:04:01.

sets. Murray, who is the defending champion, came through 6-4, 6-1

:04:02.:04:07.

against the Spaniard. Some chart action now, and this

:04:08.:04:11.

year's Sport Relief single from the Mixers didn't set the chart on fire.

:04:12.:04:17.

On Sunday evening the track 'Word Up' just missed out on the Top five,

:04:18.:04:21.

settling for number six. Duke Dumont's I Got You went straight to

:04:22.:04:26.

the top spot. Over in the album charts, The Voice judge Kylie is a

:04:27.:04:30.

new entry at number two. Finally, to one of the most extreme sports I've

:04:31.:04:34.

ever seen. Get a load of this. This is the Ice Cross downhill World

:04:35.:04:37.

Championship that's just been held in Quebec in Canada in front of

:04:38.:04:40.

crowds of over a hundred thousand people. The icy course runs through

:04:41.:04:51.

the streets of the city and includes sharp turns, steep slopes and even

:04:52.:04:55.

sheer vertical drops. Looks like fun. That's all from me, Leah will

:04:56.:05:01.

be back, right here, on the Newsround sofa at 4:20pm. See you.

:05:02.:05:03.
