:00:15. > :00:17.First, the people of Crimea are today voting on whether to rejoin

:00:18. > :00:20.Russia or stay with Ukraine. Most of the people living in Crimea believe

:00:21. > :00:23.they're Russian, and voters are expected to support leaving the

:00:24. > :00:26.Ukraine. But the vote has been called illegal by the government in

:00:27. > :00:29.Kiev and its Western allies, like the United States.

:00:30. > :00:31.Ireland gave Brian O'Driscoll the perfect sendoff last night by

:00:43. > :00:48.Nations title, and the first since they won the Grand Slam in 2009.

:00:49. > :00:53.Brian, I think the emotions are beginning to spill over now. How do

:00:54. > :01:00.you feel? They are starting to kick in now, and it just feels great to

:01:01. > :01:04.be a two-time Six Nations winner. So many seconds along the years, and so

:01:05. > :01:09.many disappointments here, and it's great to finish on a high.

:01:10. > :01:13.And there's another farewell today - this time in Sochi - as we wave

:01:39. > :01:43.a look ahead to that game, here's a special report from number one Spurs

:01:44. > :01:48.fan Jay. My favourite player in recent times

:01:49. > :01:52.has to be Ledley King. Ledley King comes in! Spurs are in the lead!

:01:53. > :01:58.He's a defender, he's fast, he's strong, he's intelligent. He's just

:01:59. > :02:04.an all-round best defender. He is my absolute hero. All right, Jay? What

:02:05. > :02:09.are you up to? I'm just doing a quick section for MOTD Kickabout.

:02:10. > :02:12.Can I ask you a question? Of course. In the North London derby against

:02:13. > :02:16.Arsenal, do you think we have a chance of winning? Our strikers are

:02:17. > :02:20.in great form, which is important, scoring goals. It's a big game for

:02:21. > :02:31.both teams, but I think we can win. What do you think? I think so as

:02:32. > :02:35.well. Good man. And if you missed it last night, Sir

:02:36. > :02:38.Tom Jones and Kylie Minogue had to make heartbreaking decisions about

:02:39. > :02:41.which singers they would take on into the live shows. Popular

:02:42. > :02:44.contestants Leo and Femi missed out, Kylie pinning her hopes on Rachael
