23/02/2014 Newsround

Hello. I'm Jenny live this Sunday lunchtime with your next Newsround

update. You're not going to want to change channels, because we've got

all this coming up: So near and yet so far. Britain's

four men bob team just miss out on a medal by milliseconds.

On this last day of the Sochi Games, you've been telling us your Winter

Olympics highlights. First to Ukraine, a country whose

leader has disappeared. President Victor Yanukovich is at the centre

of what looks like a revolution. He has been removed by the country's

parliament and a stand-in president has been appointed. A huge amount

has happened in Ukraine in the past few days, so I've been taking a look

back at an extraordinary week. Ukraine. A country in crisis. But

why did it all start? In November last year, Ukraine's President

Viktor Yanukovych decided not to sign a deal with the European Union.

He wanted Ukraine to stay closer to Russia. People took to Independence

Square and began protesting peacefully about the decision. They

want to be part of Europe and don't like how the President runs Ukraine.

But on Tuesday those protests turned violent. Dozens were killed and many

more injured in days of fierce clashes between police and

protestors. Both sides blamed each other for the violence. It carried

on until Friday when the President announced a deal to hold elections

before the end of this year. But the protestors said they wanted nothing

less than the President's resignation. By Saturday morning,

the President was nowhere to be seen. Protestors took control of the

presidential palace which had been left empty. He disappeared.

Everybody wants to know where the President is. Ukraine's MPs voted to

remove the President and released his biggest rival, former Prime

Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, from prison, where she had been for three

years. So what is next for Ukraine? At the moment, no-one knows.

President Yanukovych has spoken on TV saying he is not going anywhere

and this attack on his leadership is illegal. Meanwhile, thousands of

protestors are still in Independence Square in Kiev and say they won't go

anywhere until the President steps down.

To the Winter Olympics in Sochi now, where in the past few hours the

final runs of the four-man bobsleigh have taken place. It was Team GB's

last chance for a medal. The British team were in sixth place going into

the final run, and needed to catch up two tenths of a second to go into

bronze medal position. They made their fastest start and had a great

run but just couldn't quite make up enough time and ended up in fifth

place. Home favourites Russia won gold but the British boys weren't

too downhearted. It's been a great race and we're

only 11 100ths off the medals, but sometimes just being involved in

such a great race makes it worthwhile and it's enjoyable.

Stuart, you did four fantastic starts, and John did four fantastic

drives. We couldn't ask any more of ourselves. The combination of three

years of hard work, the training camp we had before to prep for it

and we stood on the line and gave everything. That's all you can ask

for, really. The fifth place is an awesome result, really.

Loads of you have been in touch already. Alice loved the Curling,

saying: I would love to do what they do. I am so happy that both British

teams got a medal. Abigail's highlight was the

bobsleigh, she says: it looks so dangerous, the team must be very

proud. Annabel from London really enjoyed

when Great Britain won the gold medal, saying it was a moment to

remember. Thanks for those, guys. So, as the ice hockey final closes

out the games, the last big extravaganza is the Closing Ceremony

this afternoon, which is thought to be a look back through Russia's

cultural history. Skeleton superstar Lizzie Yarnold is gearing up to fly

Britain's flag. Amy Williams, who won gold in the skeleton four years

ago, says leading out her team will be a special experience for Lizzy.

It is an honour to be chosen. To have your team-mates behind you and

to walk into the closing ceremony, it's an amazing experience and I

hope she enjoys it and flies that flag proud for Great Britain.

And with the Winter Olympics drawing to a close today, head over to the

Newsround website and check out pictures of the best moments from

the Games. And on the website is also where you will find our weekly

round-up of the weirdest stories in the news. Strange, Stranger,

Strangest! And we thought we'd leave you with this week's weirdest

stories, so sit back, relax, and let Ayshah take you through the

strangeness. Everyone is getting into the Olympic

spirit, right? Including these pampered pets in Russia. They've

been dressed up Sochi-style to show off a range of clothing made

especially for our furry friends. Super-cute!

Even more sinkholes have appeared this week. One opened up in Hemel

Hempstead in Hertfordshire and 17 homes had to be evacuated. Another

sinkhole appeared in Ripon in North Yorkshire just days later. Homes had

to be evacuated there, too. Luckily, nobody was hurt. Experts say the

recent wet weather is partly to blame.

Finally, some cat capers. Check out this little moggy having his weekly

swim. Cats usually hate water, but Morph, who is 14, is so brave he let

his owner and his specialist vet put him in a pool. He's having a

treatment called hydrotherapy to ease his achy joints.

That's all from me. Newsround is back tomorrow morning with Leah.

Have a great day.
