Hi. I'm Leah, live from the Newsround studio. Coming up on | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
today's show: We look back at one of the most exciting Six Nations | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
Championships in years. And keep watching to find out what | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
turned this river green. Only on Newsround. | :00:15. | :00:24. | |
First, our main story. The people of Crimea are today voting on whether | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
the region should stay part of the Ukraine or rejoin Russia. Most of | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
the people living in Crimea believe they're Russian, and voters are | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
expected to support leaving the Ukraine. But the vote has been | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
called illegal by the government in Kiev, and by countries like the | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
United States. The vote comes during a violent few months for Ukraine | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
that have caused some massive changes in the country, including | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
the removal of President Viktor Yanukovych from power. And for lots | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
more information about the situation in Ukraine, head over to the | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Newsround website for our in-depth guide. | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
Irish hero Brain O'Driscoll capped off his remarkable international | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
career with a second Six Nations trophy, after a thrilling 22-20 | :01:05. | :01:12. | |
victory over France. BOD, as he's known to his team-mates and fans, | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
put in a man-of-the-match performance as Ireland won in Paris | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
for only the second time in 42 years. | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
He said it proves fairy tales do come true. Brian O'Driscoll's | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
finished his international rugby career, and will surely be | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
remembered an Irish champion. Knowing they could spoil the party | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
with a win, the French team raced into a 6-nil lead, but then Jonny | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
Sexton finally found a way through the tough blue defence. As did | :01:42. | :01:49. | |
Andrew Trimble a few minutes later. There was a scare right at the end | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
when the French had what would have been a winning try ruled out for a | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
forward pass. Earlier in the day, England had done | :01:56. | :02:05. | |
their best to win the championship, thrashing Italy 52-11. Stuart | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
Lancaster's side had had a good tournament, and despite falling | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
short this time, they will go into next year's World Cup in good | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
spirits. In the day's other game, a red card for Scotland's Stuart Hogg | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
played a big part in the side's collapse against Wales. Last year's | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
Six Nations champions blew away the Scots, winning by 51-3. But in the | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
end, this was Ireland's day, as they said goodbye to one of their | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
greatest ever players. And there's another farewell today - | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
this time in Sochi - as we wave goodbye to the Winter Paralympics. | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
The British team leave the Russian city with six medals. Over on the | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
Newsround website, you've been telling us your highlights from the | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
Games. Farsya from Birmingham says, "I loved it when Kelly Gallagher won | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
gold in the super-G. It was so inspiring!" And Bethany from | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
Scotland says that her favourite moment of the Paralympics was when | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
Jade Etherington won a medal. And Sarah says she's loved it all, | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
particularly the snowboarding, and she can't wait for the closing | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
ceremony tonight. Thanks so much for all those comments. Keep them coming | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
in. There are two huge games in the | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
Premier League later today. Although out of the title race themselves, | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Manchester United will be hoping to get one over free-scoring Liverpool | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
when they play host to the Merseysiders at Old Trafford. And | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
then later this afternoon, Arsenal take on arch rivals Tottenham. And | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
with a look ahead to that game, here's a special report from number | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
one Spurs fan Jay. My favourite player in recent times | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
has to be Ledley King. Ledley King comes in! Spurs are in the lead! | :03:37. | 3:55:17 | |
has to be Ledley King. Ledley King He's a defender, he's fast, he's | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
strong, he's intelligent. He's just an all-round best defender. He is my | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
absolute hero. All right, Jay? What are you up to? I'm just doing a | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
quick section for MOTD Kickabout. Can I ask you a question? Of course. | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
In the North London derby against Arsenal, do you think we have a | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
chance of winning? Our strikers are in great form, which is important, | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
scoring goals. It's a big game for both teams, but I think we can win. | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
What do you think? I think so as well. Good man. | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
And you can catch more of those fantastic 'My Club' reports, and | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
loads of other great footy clips, over on the Match of the Day | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
Kickabout website. From tomorrow, people in Paris are | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
being banned from driving into the French capital whenever they like. | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
Instead, they'll only be able to use their cars every other day. It's | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
because the French government are worried about air pollution in the | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
city, which went above safe levels for last week. On Monday, public | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
transport will be free of charge, and officials will review whether to | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
extend the driving restrictions for longer. | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
And if you missed it last night, Sir Tom Jones and Kylie Minogue had to | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
make heartbreaking decisions about which singers they would take on | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
into the live shows. Popular contestants Leo and Femi missed out, | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
Kylie pinning her hopes on Rachael O'Connor, Jamie Johnson and Lee | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
Glasson. The coaches had to slim down their teams from seven acts to | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
three. Tom also picked his final team for the live shows next | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
weekend. And the Chicago River in America was | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
dyed green yesterday for celebrations ahead of St Patrick's | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
Day on Monday. Thousands of people took to the streets for a parade and | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
to catch a sight of the river. Across the world, the occasion is | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
marked on the 17th of March every year, where people celebrate the | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
apostle of Ireland, St Patrick, who lived in the fifth century! These | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
guys just kicked off the party a little earlier! | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
That's all from me. Newsround's back right here just before 2:00, when | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
we'll be looking back at our favourite stories of the week, | 3:55:18 | 3:55:17 | |
including one about this guy. Bye for now. | 3:55:18 | 3:55:18 |
