It's Friday, I'm Ayshah and we're live with the world's biggest

aircraft ever on the way. And Barack Obama's White House workout. This is

Newsround. First today, we've been speaking to Ukrainian kids here in

the UK about what's happening to their country. We'll hear from them

in a minute. It's been another fast-moving day already over there.

Neighbouring Russia has denied taking control of two airports in

the south, and the former Ukrainian President has spoken for the first

time since leaving the Eastern European country, saying he was

forced out of power. The crisis started back in November with

clashes between people who wanted Ukraine to make a deal with the

European Union and those who thought it should stay closer to Russia.

Thousands marched to Kiev's main square to make their point, but

earlier this month, demonstrations turned violent and several people

died. Since then, the violence has spread from Kiev to Crimea in the

south, and the country's become more divided. So what's it like to see

that happening to your country? Nel's been speaking to Sophia and

Ilia to find out. You When I saw what happened in Kiev, I start

crying so much, because I remember it was a beautiful city. It's got

lots of big buildings and streets but now it's all wrong. It's

horrible what's happened now. Everything was clean. But now the

buildings are just smashed and it's like the olden days. It's like after

war. Were you worried at all when you started seeing all of the

pictures and news stories about the Ukraine? I'm worried so much because

my family in Ukraine, my mum said it's going to be war in Ukraine,

just for nothing, because the people want to have a good future for

themselves. I'm worried because like, more than 100 people got got

killed. Are your hopes for the future? I want to live in Ukraine. I

want to have children. I want to live in a free country. I don't want

peoplifying -- fighting. I hope that the buildings are clean and built up

and everything and everyone has a better future.

The trial badger culls, that took place in England last year, didn't

work in the way they were supposed to, according to scientists who've

looked into the issue. The aim of the culls was to help stop the

spread of a disease called TB that was affecting cows. A new report's

found that the number of badgers killed fell short of the target, and

that the way they were killed was sometimes inhumane. On to the

biggest story of the day now - Quite literally! The largest aircraft in

the world ever has been shown off for the first time today. It's got

all kinds of cool features and could even help to take aid to people in

need. Part plane, part airship, part helicopter. This is the world's

longest flying machine. It has a giant helium-filled balloon with an

aerodynamic shape, so it can generate lift. The team behind it

boasts it can stay in the air for three weeks and it could potentially

carry hundreds of people. I want to get in this thing and fly it pole to

pole. We will fly over the Amazon at 20 feet. We will fly over the

world's greatest cities. We will show the whole world live on the

internet how beautiful this planet is. They say it could do a lot of

practical good. Its size and the fact it can land pretty much

anywhere, even on water means that it could be used to deliver vital

aid to disaster zones. Just how big is this aircraft? It's 92 metres

long, that's almost 20 metres longer than the biggest airliner. It's

equal to more than nine double-decker buses lined up and 57

of me lying down. The first UK flight is set to take off later this

year. Next, one of our favourite stories

of the week is all over the newspapers and the web today:

18-year-old Southampton footy player Luke Shaw phoning his mum and

bursting into tears of joy, after he found out he'd been picked for the

latest England squad. So we've been asking you on the Newsround website,

what you've done to make your parents proud. Olivia says "I made

my parents proud when I first went to the dentist when I was six."

Jessica says it was when she got a certificate in assembly. And Samet

says, "My parents are proud of me because I'm so good at football and

maths." Good on you. Finally, Barack Obama as you've never seen him

before. This is the US President and his second in command Joe Biden

jogging through the White House for their own fitness video. It's all

for a special campaign, from his wife Michelle, to try and get kids

healthier. That is it. Head over to the website to check out stunning

pictures of the Northern Lights. Newsround is back tomorrow.
