:00:25. > :00:35.Hello. I'm Jenny live this Sunday lunchtime with your next Newsround

:00:36. > :00:38.update. On this last day of the Sochi Games, you've been telling us

:00:39. > :00:45.your Winter Olympics highlights. First to Ukraine, a country whose

:00:46. > :00:48.leader has disappeared. President Victor Yanukovich is at the centre

:00:49. > :00:51.of what looks like a revolution. He has been removed by the country's

:00:52. > :00:55.parliament and a stand-in president has been appointed. A huge amount

:00:56. > :00:59.has happened in Ukraine in the past few days, so I've been taking a look

:01:00. > :01:03.back at an extraordinary week. Ukraine. A country in crisis. But

:01:04. > :01:05.why did it all start? In November last year, Ukraine's President

:01:06. > :01:09.Viktor Yanukovych decided not to sign a deal with the European Union.

:01:10. > :01:12.He wanted Ukraine to stay closer to Russia. People took to Independent

:01:13. > :01:15.Square and began protesting peacefully about the decision. They

:01:16. > :01:18.want to be part of Europe and don't like how the President runs Ukraine.

:01:19. > :01:22.But on Tuesday those protests turned violent. Dozens were killed and many

:01:23. > :01:24.more injured in days of fierce clashes between police and

:01:25. > :01:28.protestors. Both sides blamed each other for the violence. It carried

:01:29. > :01:31.on until Friday when the President announced a deal to hold elections

:01:32. > :01:34.before the end of this year. But the protestors said they wanted nothing

:01:35. > :01:36.less than the President's resignation. By Saturday morning,

:01:37. > :01:41.the President was nowhere to be seen. Protestors took control of the

:01:42. > :01:52.presidential palace which had been left empty. Everybody wants to know

:01:53. > :01:54.where is the President? Ukraine's MPs voted to remove the President

:01:55. > :01:57.and released his biggest rival, former Prime Minister Yulia

:01:58. > :02:00.Tymoshenko from prison, where she had been for three years. So what

:02:01. > :02:05.next for Ukraine? At the moment, no-one knows. President Yanukovych

:02:06. > :02:08.has spoken on TV saying he is not going anywhere and this attack on

:02:09. > :02:11.his leadership is illegal. Meanwhile, thousands of protestors

:02:12. > :02:18.are still in Independence Square in Kiev and say they won't go anywhere

:02:19. > :02:22.until the President steps down. To the Winter Olympics in Sochi now,

:02:23. > :02:31.and in the past hour we've had the final run in the four-man bobsleigh.

:02:32. > :02:35.Both British teams were in action. Britain were in sixth place and

:02:36. > :02:41.needed to catch up two tenths of a second for bronze. They made their

:02:42. > :02:46.fastest start and had a great run, but couldn't make up enough time and

:02:47. > :02:58.ended up in fifth place. Rush up one gold. -- Russia won gold.

:02:59. > :03:01.We want to know what your favourite moment from the Games has been. Head

:03:02. > :03:03.over to the Newsround website and tell us what your highlight has

:03:04. > :03:06.been. Loads of you have been in touch

:03:07. > :03:10.already. Charlotte from Hampshire said: The moment I enjoyed most was

:03:11. > :03:12.Jenny Jones getting bronze in the snowboarding. I love snowboarding!

:03:13. > :03:16.But Matthew's highlight was the curling, even though he didn't even

:03:17. > :03:19.know what it was until a few days ago! Lizzie said one of her

:03:20. > :03:22.favourite Winter Olympic sports has been the snowboard cross, because

:03:23. > :03:25.there were lots of thrills, spills, photo finishes, and plenty of drama.

:03:26. > :03:28.And Diya's favourite moment was when Lizzy Yarnold received a gold medal

:03:29. > :03:31.for the skeleton! She said: I thought it was really inspiring.

:03:32. > :03:34.Thanks for those, guys. Skeleton superstar Lizzie Yarnold is

:03:35. > :03:37.gearing up to fly Britain's flag, as the Closing Ceremony gets going from

:03:38. > :03:40.four this afternoon. Lizzie dominated the women's skeleton

:03:41. > :03:44.event, to win GB's 10th gold medal in the history of the Winter Games,

:03:45. > :03:48.setting two track records on her way to victory. Amy Williams, who won

:03:49. > :03:57.gold in the skeleton four years ago, says leading out her team will be a

:03:58. > :04:04.special experience for Lizzy. It is such a great honour to be

:04:05. > :04:09.chosen to carry the flag. As she has brought home the gold medal, to have

:04:10. > :04:12.your team-mates behind you and walk into that closing ceremony, it is an

:04:13. > :04:20.amazing experience and I hope she enjoys it and flags that -- flies

:04:21. > :04:24.that flag proud for Great Britain. England are back in the running for

:04:25. > :04:27.the Six Nations rugby after a tense finish against Ireland at Twickenham

:04:28. > :04:31.yesterday. Rob Carney's try gave the Irish a 10-3 lead after half-time.

:04:32. > :04:34.But England fought back, with scrum half Danny Care scoring a brilliant

:04:35. > :04:38.try. England held on through the closing stages to pick up a vital

:04:39. > :04:41.win. It means four teams are tied at the top of the table going into next

:04:42. > :04:45.weekend's matches. And Scotland got the first win of their campaign with

:04:46. > :04:49.a dramatic victory over Italy in Rome in the early match. Duncan

:04:50. > :04:52.Weir's drop goal in the dying seconds of the game sealed a brave

:04:53. > :04:56.win for the Scots. In today's Premier League football,

:04:57. > :04:59.Liverpool will be looking to cement their place in the top four, when

:05:00. > :05:02.they take on Swansea at half past one, while at the same time,

:05:03. > :05:07.Newcastle will welcome their captain Fabricio Coloccini back for their

:05:08. > :05:10.mid-table clash with Aston Villa. In the late kick off, Norwich will be

:05:11. > :05:14.desperate for a win over Spurs, to lift them away from the relegation

:05:15. > :05:19.zone. In yesterday's action, Chelsea stayed top of the table, with a

:05:20. > :05:22.last-minute 1-0 win over Everton. Frank Lampard's in-swinging free

:05:23. > :05:30.kick found John Terry in the box to give Jose Mourinho's side the vital

:05:31. > :05:32.three points. While the Premier League's new best-paid player, Wayne

:05:33. > :05:36.Rooney scored the second for Manchester United to give them a 2-0
