Hi, I'm Ayshah, with your evening update.

:00:00.:00:09.

First to Ukraine in Eastern Europe, where the worst violence in weeks

:00:10.:00:12.

has erupted in the capital city, Kiev. Police have clashed with

:00:13.:00:16.

people protesting against the country's president. Ukraine has

:00:17.:00:20.

been divided in recent times over whether it should have closer ties

:00:21.:00:24.

with Russia or the European Union. Today, thousands of protesters tried

:00:25.:00:26.

to march into the parliament building in Kiev but clashed with

:00:27.:00:32.

security forces. At least nine people have died.

:00:33.:00:36.

Next, songs streamed on apps like Spotify and YouTube could soon count

:00:37.:00:41.

towards the charts. At the moment, only CD sales and downloads count

:00:42.:00:44.

towards the singles chart, but Radio 1's head of music has said that

:00:45.:00:48.

could change by the summer. The official charts company says it

:00:49.:00:51.

would have to work out how to count streams before any change could take

:00:52.:00:55.

place. Next, Britain's first ever medal

:00:56.:00:58.

winner on snow at the Winter Olympics, Jenny Jones, is back on

:00:59.:01:03.

home soil. Leah caught up with the snowboard slopestyler and put some

:01:04.:01:04.

of your burning questions to her. Jenny, congratulations. You've got

:01:05.:01:14.

this amazing medal in your hand there. How does it feel? I'm shocked

:01:15.:01:20.

at how heavy it is! When they placed it around my neck on the podium, I

:01:21.:01:25.

just felt very proud. Well, lots of our viewers have got in touch.

:01:26.:01:28.

Millie says, how does it feel when you are doing stunts in the air? Is

:01:29.:01:32.

it scary? If you've taken off properly, it feels amazing. If you

:01:33.:01:38.

take off and you've done it wrong, it can be frightening, because you

:01:39.:01:42.

know that you might crash, and you have to crash as best you can.

:01:43.:01:47.

Another question: where is a good place to learn how to snowboard in

:01:48.:01:52.

the UK? I think you can go to any dry slope or snow dome that is

:01:53.:01:58.

nearby. In Scotland, they are having a brilliant season. When you got

:01:59.:02:02.

your medal, how happy were you? And when you saw your parents, how did

:02:03.:02:07.

it make you feel? There was something when I saw my parents that

:02:08.:02:11.

definitely set off some emotions in me and brought out the tears. I was

:02:12.:02:17.

just very proud that they were there to witness me winning a bronze

:02:18.:02:21.

medal. Did you dream of winning a medal when you were a child? I did,

:02:22.:02:26.

but never in snowboarding. I used to do a lot of gymnastics and

:02:27.:02:30.

athletics, and I used to watch that on the Summer Olympics on the

:02:31.:02:33.

television, and I wondered if I could do that. I didn't start

:02:34.:02:36.

snowboarding until I was 17, so you can start at a later age. Any of you

:02:37.:02:42.

guys that are into it, it's something to aim for!

:02:43.:02:45.

Check out the website for a longer version of that piece, and that's

:02:46.:02:48.

where you'll find our rundown of Newsround's favourite Winter Olympic

:02:49.:02:51.

sports. I've made no secret of loving the snowboard cross, but

:02:52.:02:54.

what's rocking the other presenters' worlds?

:02:55.:02:57.
