Hi, guys - Ayshah here with news of the kids getting coding advice from

Mr Moshi. Plus... Hello, Newsround, from the

red carpet at the Oscars. But first, Ukraine's stand-in

president has warned the country is "on the verge of disaster" as he

orders troops to get ready to defend against the Russian army. He has

asked America and Britain for help following Russian President Vladimir

Putin's decision to send his troops over the border into Crimea in the

south of Ukraine. That despite a phone call from Barack Obama warning

him not to. Obama says that goes against international law, but Putin

insists Russia has a right to defend Russians living there. NATO - a

group of western countries - is holding an emergency meeting right

now and says Russia's actions are unacceptable.

Next - football manager Alan Pardew has been heavily criticised for the

example he has set to players and young fans after appearing to

head-butt an opposition player during a match. Pardew says he is

really sorry about the incident, which happened during Newcastle's

game with Hull yesterday. The club has fined him ?100,000 and the FA

are investigating. This was the reaction from the Match of the Day

pundits. Have you ever seen anything like that from a coach or manager?

That is inexcusable. There is outrage, and understandably. I think

it is terribly sad to see those pictures, for the game, for kids

watching the programme. As a player, if you see your manager

doing that, how can he discipline you?

Next up - we've told you before about government plans to make

computer coding a bigger part of school lessons. But now the founder

of Moshi Monsters has backed a special scheme to get kids more

excited about it. Budding reporters from the BBC's School Report went to

meet him to find out more. Have you ever thought about what is

behind the latest application you have downloaded? Today, we have come

to see the company who have created one of the biggest games, Moshi

Monsters. What is the code and what is it about? It is a scheme to get

people interested in coding it is an interesting skill and one of the

most important. Everything involves computer technology, will this code

help kids get jobs? Not just to get jobs, I hope some of the kids will

start being operators. I speak to kids with amazing ideas. If you have

the ability, you can take those ideas and make them happen. Young

students got a personal taster of the code with Mr Moshi himself. You

guys are really good. Some people think this is really complex and

that it is for expert, but if you take the first step, it becomes much

easier. Coding was really enjoyable because I learned that it does not

have to be boring and just something that computer geeks do. The best bit

was that he inspired us to do coding. And he loves to play free

games! The first -- the first cup final of the season kicks off. But

it is not the only event this weekend. The world's biggest movie

awards - the Oscars - take place in Los Angeles tonight and the BBC's

Colin Patterson been behind the scenes to give you a sneak peak.

Watch out for the flashes. Hello, Newsround, from the red

carpet at the Oscars. This is where the biggest Newby -- movie stars in

the world will be watching. Nominees like Sandra Bullock and lay in order

to background -- Leonardo DiCaprio, and Jennifer Lawrence. Also singers,

like Pink. I will take you backstage, to show that -- where

they come in. This is the red carpet. It is 150 metres long. At

the moment, it is raining so you see there is tarpaulin covering it.

There is even a roof. At the moment, there are lots of TV crews filming

for their morning shows. Where you from? Toronto. In Canada. Say hello

to newsround. Hello, Newsround. Lots and lots of newsround 's -- lots and

lots of news crews. And here's where the actual show takes place. Those

pillars host the names of previous films which have won Oscars. And

after a final farewell to the press, they go in and find out if they are

Oscar winners. Tune in to newsround on Monday to find out who won Best

picture, who won Best animation, who is holding those gold men in their

hands. Goodbye from Hollywood! We've been asking you for your

favourite film of the year over on the Newsround website.

Thank you for all of those. That's it
