:00:00. > :00:13.Morning, everyone. Leah here, with today's top stories from Newsround

:00:14. > :00:17.on the way. I'm Laura Trott, and I'm Jason Kenny and we're here to answer

:00:18. > :00:18.your questions. And the seriously small panther with a big story. Stay

:00:19. > :00:25.tuned. But first, it's deadline day for

:00:26. > :00:28.Ukraine's new leaders. Former President, Viktor Yanukovych, was

:00:29. > :00:29.removed from power just days ago after huge anti-government protests

:00:30. > :00:36.and violence. Now the new leaders have until the

:00:37. > :00:38.end of the day to form a new, united government. Meanwhile British

:00:39. > :00:44.investigators are in the country helping to find out who told police

:00:45. > :00:49.to shoot at protestors last week. Dozens of people were killed in the

:00:50. > :00:52.clashes. Head to the website for lots more on this story including

:00:53. > :00:55.Nel's report on the events of the past week, and a picture gallery

:00:56. > :01:00.telling you how the protests came about. Next, if you're missing the

:01:01. > :01:03.Winter Olympics already, don't worry! How about the World Track

:01:04. > :01:06.Championships? It all kicks off tomorrow with Laura Trott and Jason

:01:07. > :01:11.Kenny defending the titles they won last year. They're two of Britain's

:01:12. > :01:15.biggest and best cycling stars, but before they headed off to Colombia

:01:16. > :01:21.to take part they found the time to answer some of your questions.

:01:22. > :01:30.Great start by Laura Trott. Straight out of the gate. There he is, the

:01:31. > :01:32.Olympic sprint champion, he wins the gold medal, and he's won it in style

:01:33. > :01:43.with fantastic confidence. I chose to be a cyclist because I

:01:44. > :01:48.was good at it, to be honest. I like competing in anything and I love

:01:49. > :01:54.winning. I dislike the winning feeling. Once you win one race, you

:01:55. > :01:57.want to win them all, -- I just like the winning feeling. There were

:01:58. > :02:00.people fighting other spots in the team pursuit, so we were competing

:02:01. > :02:04.against each other, so it was difficult. You have to train hard to

:02:05. > :02:13.get to the Olympics. We train super-hard. When I first started

:02:14. > :02:16.cycling I was eight years old and I did my first competition when I was

:02:17. > :02:22.ten, I think, a National Championships in Manchester. I had

:02:23. > :02:30.an older brother and I wanted to ride bikes, and I started riding on

:02:31. > :02:33.the track when I was 12. My main goal this year is to go to the world

:02:34. > :02:36.Championships and hopefully come away with a couple of medals, and

:02:37. > :02:40.then in the summer we have the Commonwealth Games. The Commonwealth

:02:41. > :02:46.Games in Glasgow should be good fun, so I'm looking forward to that. My

:02:47. > :02:53.favourite moment in my career was winning two gold medals at the

:02:54. > :02:56.London Olympic Games. My favourite moment in my career is winning two

:02:57. > :03:01.gold medals at the London Olympic Games as well. There he is, he wins

:03:02. > :03:02.the gold medal, and he won it in style.

:03:03. > :03:06.And from one set of Olympic medal-winners, to another: Team GB's

:03:07. > :03:09.record-equalling athletes have arrived home, bringing with them the

:03:10. > :03:13.four medals that won them more funding for winter sports. The men's

:03:14. > :03:16.curlers were first to appear with their silver medals. Lizzie Yarnold

:03:17. > :03:19.showed off her gold too, after carrying the union flag at Sunday's

:03:20. > :03:20.closing ceremony. Lots of people turned out at London's Heathrow

:03:21. > :03:26.Airport to welcome them home. In the FA Cup, Sunderland will now

:03:27. > :03:29.face their old manager Steve Bruce in the quarterfinals. That's after

:03:30. > :03:32.his current side Hull beat Brighton 2-1 in their fifth-round replay last

:03:33. > :03:33.night. Curtis Davies and Robert Koren scored for the Tigers to

:03:34. > :03:39.secure the win. And in the night's other replay,

:03:40. > :03:42.Charlton beat Sheffield Wednesday with a 2-1 win at Hillsborough. It

:03:43. > :03:44.means they'll face Sheffield's other club, United, in the quarterfinals a

:03:45. > :03:54.week on Saturday. The FA says it will investigate

:03:55. > :03:58.claims that supporters threw coins at Wayne Rooney during man United's

:03:59. > :04:04.victory at Crystal Palace at the weekend. United are in Greece

:04:05. > :04:08.tonight where they are in the Champions League last 16, their best

:04:09. > :04:10.chance of picking up silverware in a disappointing season for the Reds.

:04:11. > :04:15.Now to this incredibly cute panther cub with a very brave story! This

:04:16. > :04:19.tiny cat was finding his first weeks of life quite tough while living at

:04:20. > :04:22.a wildlife refuge in Florida and he nearly died. But luckily the cub was

:04:23. > :04:25.sent off to hospital and received special treatment to build him back

:04:26. > :04:31.up. He's now happy, healthy and enjoying his bottle of milk! Last

:04:32. > :04:34.up, to a story we told you about yesterday - thieves pinching a

:04:35. > :04:38.10-metre high mango statue from a town in Australia. Well, turns out

:04:39. > :04:41.it was a big stunt just to get people talking about a fast food

:04:42. > :04:46.brand and nobody had really stolen the model. A restaurant chain

:04:47. > :04:51.admitted it had "borrowed" the tourist attraction and said they'd

:04:52. > :04:53.put it back soon. That's all from me. Newsround's back right here in

:04:54. > :04:56.about half an hour.
