It's Tuesday morning, you're live with Newsround. I'm Leah with

:00:08.:00:11.

today's top stories, including: We find out what it takes to become a

:00:12.:00:15.

British bobsleigh driver. And: I'm Laura Trott. And I'm Jason Kenny,

:00:16.:00:18.

and we're here to answer your questions.

:00:19.:00:20.

But first, it's deadline day for Ukraine's new leaders. Former

:00:21.:00:24.

President, Viktor Yanukovych, was removed from power just days ago

:00:25.:00:27.

after huge anti-government protests and violence. Now the new leaders

:00:28.:00:34.

have until the end of the day to form a new, united government.

:00:35.:00:37.

Meanwhile British investigators are in the country helping to find out

:00:38.:00:40.

who told police to shoot at protestors last week. Dozens of

:00:41.:00:50.

people were killed in the clashes. Head to the website for more info on

:00:51.:00:54.

the story, including the report on the week's events, and a picture

:00:55.:00:59.

gallery telling you how the protests came about. Team GB's athletes have

:01:00.:01:04.

arrived home, bringing with them the four medals that will bring them

:01:05.:01:08.

more funding for winter sports. The men's curlers were first to appear

:01:09.:01:11.

with their silver medals. Lizzie Yarnold showed off her gold too

:01:12.:01:14.

fresh from carrying the union flag at the Games' closing ceremony. This

:01:15.:01:18.

morning, Britain's bobsleigh stars have been out and about talking to

:01:19.:01:21.

reporters, and it turns out if you're a good sprinter, you could be

:01:22.:01:26.

good at bobsleigh too. It's not too different. We came to add some extra

:01:27.:01:33.

speed to give it a magic touch, and I think we've done it. If you are a

:01:34.:01:38.

kid watching the Winter Olympics, how do you get involved? Go on the

:01:39.:01:43.

British bobsleigh website, and we have a futures programme where

:01:44.:01:46.

youngsters can try the sport out. There's a variety of ways to get

:01:47.:01:50.

involved, and hopefully the younger generation have been inspired by our

:01:51.:01:54.

performance. From one set of Olympic heroes to another. The World Track

:01:55.:01:56.

Championships begin tomorrow with Laura Trott and Jason Kenny aiming

:01:57.:02:00.

to defend the titles they won last year. They're two of Britain's

:02:01.:02:03.

biggest and best cycling stars, but before they headed off to Colombia

:02:04.:02:07.

to take part, they found the time to answer some of your questions. Great

:02:08.:02:10.

start by Laura Trott. Straight out of the gate.

:02:11.:02:14.

There he is, the Olympic sprint champion, he wins the gold medal,

:02:15.:02:19.

and he's won it in style with fantastic confidence.

:02:20.:02:27.

I chose to be a cyclist because I was good at it, to be honest. I like

:02:28.:02:34.

competing in anything and I love winning. I just like the winning

:02:35.:02:37.

feeling. Once you win one race, you want to win them all.

:02:38.:02:48.

There were four people fighting for three spots in the team pursuit, so

:02:49.:02:53.

we were competing against each other, so it was difficult. You have

:02:54.:02:57.

to train hard to get to the Olympics. We train super-hard.

:02:58.:03:00.

When I first started cycling I was eight years old and I did my first

:03:01.:03:06.

competition when I was ten, I think, a National Championships in

:03:07.:03:09.

Manchester. I had an older brother and I wanted to ride bikes, and I

:03:10.:03:13.

started riding on the track when I was 12. My first race was when I was

:03:14.:03:20.

12 as well. My main goal this year is to go to the world Championships

:03:21.:03:24.

and hopefully come away with a couple of medals, and then in the

:03:25.:03:27.

summer we have the Commonwealth Games. The Commonwealth Games in

:03:28.:03:30.

Glasgow should be good fun, so I'm looking forward to that.

:03:31.:03:33.

My favourite moment in my career was winning two gold medals at the

:03:34.:03:39.

London Olympic Games. My favourite moment in my career is winning two

:03:40.:03:43.

gold medals at the London Olympic Games as well.

:03:44.:03:47.

There he is, he wins the gold medal, and he won it in style.

:03:48.:03:53.

Footy now and the FA says it will investigate claims that supporters

:03:54.:03:58.

threw coins at Wayne Rooney during United's 2-0 win at Crystal Palace

:03:59.:04:01.

at the weekend. United are in Greece tonight, where they face Olympiakos

:04:02.:04:05.

in the Champions League. Rooney, who won Europe's top prize with United

:04:06.:04:09.

back in 2008, wants them to go all the way again.

:04:10.:04:15.

We want to win, so the feeling you get when you actually win the trophy

:04:16.:04:23.

is incredible. There is no way would want to stop one. The to win every

:04:24.:04:28.

year, and that might be impossible, but if we can go to the final it

:04:29.:04:33.

would be great for us and it's an opportunity to win the trophy, so,

:04:34.:04:36.

hopefully we can do that. Last up, to the story of this incredibly cute

:04:37.:04:40.

panther cub's brave recovery. This tiny cat was finding his first weeks

:04:41.:04:43.

of life quite tough while living at a wildlife refuge in Florida and he

:04:44.:04:47.

nearly died. But luckily the cub was sent off to hospital and received

:04:48.:04:51.

special treatment to build him back up. He's now happy, healthy and

:04:52.:04:54.

enjoying his bottle of milk! That's all from me, Newsround's back this

:04:55.:05:00.

afternoon. Have a great day, whatever you're doing.

:05:01.:05:01.
