At the top, Manchester City's win against Stoke mean they are within

touching distance of Chelsea. Happy Monday morning. Leah here with

today's top stories from Newsround. We bid a fond farewell to the Winter

Olympics in Sochi as an extravaganza closes the games.

And the big panda arrival in Brussels. This is Newsround.

But first to the Ukraine, where after months of protests and a week

of violence, a temporary President has been appointed. It comes after

President Viktor Yanukovych was forced out of power. The stand-in

leader, Oleksandr Turchynov, says he wants to strengthen the country's

relationship with Europe. Politicians are meeting today to

start working on a new government. A little bit of tech for you now, as

the Mobile World Congress kicks off in Barcelona today. Global leaders

in mobile gadgetry will be attempting to outdo each other this

week with their latest designs. Samsung are expected to launch the

Galaxy S5, an upgrade to its flagship smartphone. And wearable

tech is expecting to be big, with many companies set to show off new

smartwatches at the exhibition. The 22nd Winter Olympics closed with

a spectacular ceremony in the Russian resort of Sochi last night,

as the curtain was brought down on the most expensive games-mac in

history. -- the most expensive Games. The home team topped the

medal table but all in all, it's been a good Games for Team GB, with

our athletes passing the three-medal target set by UK Sport. They've now

been promised extra funding for the next four years because they did so

well. So here's a look back at the icy highs and chilly lows of the

past few weeks. Not since 1924 have Great Britain

won four medals at a Winter Olympics, so as the games were

brought to a close, Team GB could reflect on a job well done. Jenny

Jones got the snowball rolling, with a bronze in the snowboard

slopestlye, Britain's first ever medal on the slopes. Lizzy Yarnold

then continued our fine tradition in the women's skeleton, keeping the

gold medal firmly in British hands. And then the curlers had us all

grabbing for our sweeping brushes, winning two medals in this ancient

and absorbing game. UK Sport invested ?13.4 million in funding to

achieve their medal target at the games, but they could have had even

more. Elise Christie's three disqualifications in short track

were hard to take, highly-rated slopestyle skier James Woods was hit

by a hip injury in training and John Jackson's bobsleigh crew led briefly

on a tense final afternoon in the Sochi sun. But not everyone was

happy with the decision to hold the games in Sochi. Some people

protested about the lack of rights in Russia, and particularly the way

the government there treats gay people. On the slopes though, things

have gone well. There was enough snow, plenty of world records and

some memories that will last a long time. And if you're missing the

action already, don't worry, because the Paralympics starts in just under

two weeks' time. We want to hear from you about the

games. Yesterday you told us your highlights, but today we want to

know whether you've been inspired to take up a winter sport. Could you be

a future star of the slopes? Head to the website and let us know.

In the Premier League there was brilliant entertainment on show at

Anfield yesterday as Liverpool kept their title hopes alive with a

terrific 4-3 win over Swansea, in a match that went back and forth.

Daniel Sturridge gave the home side the lead inside three minutes.

Jordan Henderson made it two shortly afterwards, but Swansea hit back

with two goals in quick succession from former Liverpool man Jonjo

Shelvey and Wilfried Bony to make it 2-2. The two sides traded goals

again before Henderson eventually grabbed the decisive seventh goal.

Norwich pulled off an unlikely 1-0 win over Tottenham at Carrow Road. A

goal from Robert Snodgrass was enough to lift Chris Hughton's side

four points clear of the relegation zone.

And Loic Remy scored in injury time to give Newcastle a much-needed home

win as they beat Aston Villa 1-0. It was Alan Pardew's side's first win

at St James's Park this year. Sticking with footy, and Scotland

and Ireland will play each other in the Euro 2016 qualifiers. They're

also in a tough group that includes Germany and Poland. England face

Switzerland and Slovenia, while Wales were drawn in the same group

as Israel, Cyprus and Andorra. Now to a special delivery at

Brussels airport in Belgium. Excited fans were waiting for the arrival of

a pair pandas who made a long journey from China. Sing Way,

meaning "twinkling star" and How How, meaning "cute", are on loan to

Belgium for 15 years. They'll start a special breeding programme and go

on show to the public in April. That's all from me, Newsround's back

right here in about half an hour.
