Hello. I'm Leah, and you're live with Newsround. We've got your top | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
stories covered today, plus some of this: We'll reveal the Sport Relief | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
backside champ. And keep watching to find out what | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
this is all about. Only on Newsround. | :00:17. | :00:23. | |
First to the Ukraine, where there has once again been violence as | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
tensions grow ahead of a big vote. Tomorrow, the people of Crimea will | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
decide whether or not the region should become part of Russia. Most | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
of the people living there believe they are Russian, but the Ukrainian | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
government say this vote breaks international law. The United States | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
also believes the vote shouldn't go ahead. | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
Next, he's going to be the first British astronaut to visit the | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
International Space Station. Major Tim Peake is busy preparing for his | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
mission at a training camp in Russia, but he found the time to | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
chat to Nel and answer some of your questions. | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
Thank you for joining us. I have loads of questions. Are you ready? | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
Certainly. "I'd like to be an astronaut when I grow up. What do I | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
did need to do?" Nothing in particular. We have teachers, | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
doctors, engineers, scientists, who have all become astronauts. I think | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
the main thing is to be passionate about what you do, and as good as | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
you can be at what you do, and I'm sure you'll succeed. We have a | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
question from Kate and Elizabeth Davies in Liverpool. They want to | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
know if you can keep pets in space. Yes, you can. Although they are not | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
our pets, they belong to the space programme, for example fish have | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
been taken up by the Japanese Space Agency. And Emily wants to know what | :01:41. | :01:50. | |
food you will miss. I've been told I can pack up my own tea bags, so I | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
will have some British food. In terms of what I will miss the most, | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
I've heard fresh pizza and fresh bread are the things that are most | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
missed. I have a question here from George in Croydon in the south of | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
England. He wants to know, "When you're stuck up there on the space | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
station for six months, what would you do if you fell out with any of | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
the other astronauts? It's not like you can go for a walk or go home." | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
You're absolutely right. You can't go for a walk. I think the main | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
thing is to try not to fall out with your other crew. We do a lot of | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
training. If you did fall out with somebody onboard, there are plenty | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
of spaces to take yourself away. The space station is not as small as | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
people think. It is quite a large space. You have the opportunity to | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
get your own space if you need it. All this week, you've been sending | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
us your amazing robot designs. From robots that save injured fish, to | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
ones that help the police catch criminals, they've all been | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
brilliant. So before the weekend is out, we wanted to show you a few | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
more. Olivia in Livingston sent us the BroBot. She says it's like a | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
brother...but better. He's able to be your friend if you're feeling a | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
bit lonely, and cheers you up if you are having a bad day. Joshua in | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
Liverpool designed Smash the robot. When he's not hanging out with you, | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
Smash is a professional boxer. And Thomas from Cheshire has come up | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
with a robot to solve all your pocket money problems. If you need | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
any money, just open the Bank Robot's secret door. Thanks for all | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
of those, guys, and we'll try and get as many as we can up on the | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
website. Next, will it be England, Ireland or | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
France? Today is the final day of Rugby Union's Six Nations | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
competition, with all three teams still in with a chance of glory. | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
It'll be an emotional day for Ireland's Brian O'Driscoll, who will | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
play his final match for his country. He'll be up against the | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
French, knowing a win in Paris would secure the title. All the cleaning | :03:50. | :04:03. | |
my boots and polishing my shoes. Inside, all have some more emotion | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
this week. Hopefully I can keep it in check and projected in the best | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
positive way into my performance. And you lot clearly can't wait for | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
this afternoon's games to start. All morning, you've been sending in your | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
good luck messages. Nonya says she can't wait to watch the action | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
later, and hopes all the teams do well, especially England! | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
Ronan is rooting for Ireland, wanting them to win in Brain | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
O'Driscoll's last game. And Phoebe says, "Good luck, Wales. I hope they | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
can finish with a big win." Thanks so much for all those comments, keep | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
them coming in. Now to that gruelling Sport Relief | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
challenge, where these two had to each sit on 45,000 seats at Wembley | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
Stadium! Well, we now have a winner. Watch out for the flashes coming up. | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
Former England captain Alan Shearer beat fellow footballer Robbie | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
Savage. They had to sit on a seat every four seconds for ten hours a | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
day to complete the task in time. It's left them a little sore, but | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
they both recovered in a bath full of ice. Let's hear from the winner, | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
though - Alan Shearer. Seems a long time ago last Monday | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
morning at 7:30 when we started. The competition was a competition. Two | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
ex-sportsman, so neither of us wanted to get beaten. Absolutely | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
delighted to have completed it for a great cause, and I hope we can raise | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
hundreds of thousands of pounds. That's what it is for. Well done, | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
guys. Now, this guy wasn't just horsing | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
around when he flew through the air dangling from a helicopter. He was | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
being rescued from the bottom of a canyon in America after an accident. | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
The horse was put into a special harness before being lifted to | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
safety. He seems pretty relaxed about the whole thing. Excellent | :05:43. | :05:51. | |
story. That's it for me. I have run out of time. I'll be back soon. Head | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
to the website to find out more about the new Doctor Who villain. | :05:58. | :05:59. |
