Good afternoon with big news about the discovery of hundreds of new | :00:07. | :00:15. | |
planets. Plus the daredevil preparing to jump of Mount Everest | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
in nothing but a suit with the wings. First, we have talked a lot | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
about the protests in Ukraine, but today things are happening fast. The | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
company's former president has reappeared after going on the run | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
and Russia has put its military on stand-by and the trouble has spread | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
to the south of the country. This is Kiev, Ukraine's capital city. Days | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
after the protesters won their battle, the streets are quiet. In | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
the beginning this was about whether Ukraine's people wanted to be closer | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
to Russia or the rest of Europe. But after days of violence the problems | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
are becoming more complicated. Former President Victor Yanukovych, | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
who disappeared after being forced from power last week, turned up in | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
Russia's capital city Moscow. He says he is still Ukraine's | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
president. Meanwhile, the Government that replaced him is struggling to | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
keep any kind of control and there are no police on the streets to keep | :01:12. | :01:20. | |
order. A lot of people are still concerned about the future of this | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
country, whether it can split in two. In terms of security, these men | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
remain in charge and the police have disappeared. And there are more big | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
problems in other parts of the country. This morning, armed men | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
took control of Government buildings in an area of Ukraine called Crimea. | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
Many people in this part of Ukraine feel they are more Russian than | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
Ukrainian. The Russian flag now flies above the Crimean parliament. | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
Further down the square they are pushing through the police lines, | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
waving flags and chanting. They are saying, we have waited for this | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
moment for 20 years, they want a United Russia. Today things have got | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
a lot more tense. The Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
fighter jets and 150,000 troops to get ready. But the new Ukrainian | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
president has warned Russia not to move troops from their bases. | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
Britain, France and America are all worried about what is going on | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
because the chances of Ukraine staying United are getting worse. It | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
is causing concern for the people who live there. We spoke to Gurman, | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
Olev and Aleks who go to school in Kiev. It was not very scary, but it | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
was very worrying with the shots and the explosions and the school had to | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
close. Now there is a lot to catch up on because school has not worked | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
for four days. I want a new parliament and a new president and | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
Ukraine to become better. There is more on our website. NASA has | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
announced the discovery of 715 new planets from outside of our solar | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
system. It is the biggest announcement of new discoveries ever | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
made and it is all part of the hunt for a new Earth. The discovery of | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
this many new planets is a pretty big deal. The Kepler space telescope | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
was launched in 2009 on a mission to find new planets, including ones | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
that could support life like here on Earth. Before now Kepler had | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
discovered 250 new planets outside of our solar system, so the | :03:35. | :03:50. | |
discovery of 715 more is impressive. Four four of them are sitting in the | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
habitable zone where you are not too close to the stars and you are in | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
the zone where conditions are just right for liquid water and it is | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
that which we think is a key element for possible life to exist. But what | :04:06. | :04:17. | |
are scientists looking for? But they are quite likely to be made of gas, | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
so the search goes on. But with two more years of data to analyse, it is | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
still far from over. If you are wondering how they discover new | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
planets, check out the guide on our website. Finally, the man planning | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
to jump off Everest with only a suit with wings. Joby Ogwyn already holds | :04:41. | :04:48. | |
the record for the fastest Everest trek and is planning to reach the | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
summit in around five days. It will take less than ten minutes to get | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
back down. He says it makes him feel like a superhero. It | :05:01. | :05:01. |
