:01:21. > :01:23.Ukraine President's office has said that an agreement has The rainfall

:01:24. > :01:27.record has already been broken. The UK has received more than 486

:01:28. > :01:32.millimetres of rain between the 1st of December and the 19th of

:01:33. > :01:36.February. The record comes after relentless storms and rainfall over

:01:37. > :01:40.the past two months, which saw severe flooding across many parts of

:01:41. > :01:44.England. When you go to the shops, you probably don't think about the

:01:45. > :01:49.type of money you are using to buy things. But for people in Scotland

:01:50. > :01:51.that may have to change. In September, people will have to vote

:01:52. > :01:56.on whether Scotland should be a separate country to the rest of the

:01:57. > :01:59.UK. There is a big argument over what kind of money people may have

:02:00. > :02:05.to use if the country becomes independent.

:02:06. > :02:10.Whether you live in Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland or England, you

:02:11. > :02:16.will be using the same money. At the moment, everybody uses the pound. In

:02:17. > :02:21.other countries, they use different money, like the euro or the dollar.

:02:22. > :02:26.On the 18th of September, voters in Scotland will be asked if Scotland

:02:27. > :02:30.should be independent. Those four independents say even if Scotland

:02:31. > :02:35.becomes separate from the rest of the UK, people here will be able to

:02:36. > :02:38.use the pound. But the man in charge of money for the UK Government,

:02:39. > :02:41.George Osborne, says it may not work. That would mean Scottish

:02:42. > :02:47.people would need to use different money. I have come to a school in

:02:48. > :02:55.Scotland to see what the kids thing. We should keep the pound. We may

:02:56. > :03:03.have to keep having two different currencies and it would be annoying.

:03:04. > :03:13.We should keep the pound because we have already learned our currency.

:03:14. > :03:18.We could make our own currency. We can just get on with their lives. If

:03:19. > :03:22.we go shopping in England, it might be annoying for us because we won't

:03:23. > :03:28.have the right currency. When the time comes to decide on an

:03:29. > :03:33.independent Scotland, whether or not it will keep the pound is something

:03:34. > :03:37.voters will be thinking about. The clock is ticking. With only six

:03:38. > :03:43.hours to go until the final we have all been waiting for. Team GB

:03:44. > :03:48.face-off against Canada in the nation's new favourite sport,

:03:49. > :03:52.curling. It starts at 1:30pm. Skipper David Murdoch will be hoping

:03:53. > :03:59.to keep his cool and go for gold. Also in action, Elise Christie in

:04:00. > :04:06.the speed skating. Today we'll also see Britain equalled their best ever

:04:07. > :04:13.medal record haul. With four medals it will be the best since 1924. It

:04:14. > :04:22.was a mixed night for Tottenham and Swansea in the Europa League. Spurs

:04:23. > :04:29.lost to Dnipro. The result means Tottenham have it all to do in the

:04:30. > :04:34.return leg. Swansea City putting a cracking performance during --

:04:35. > :04:41.drawing against Napoli. The swans came close on several occasions.

:04:42. > :04:45.Finally, pet owners in Sochi have been getting into the Winter Olympic

:04:46. > :04:49.spirit by dressing their furry friends in the same outfits worn by

:04:50. > :04:56.the Russian Olympic team and Sochi volunteers. They have all been

:04:57. > :04:59.getting involved. That's all from me. Bye-bye.
