Nel here, with your final Newsround of the day.

:00:09.:00:15.

Coming up, another tornado hits the US state of Oklahoma. And could your

:00:15.:00:23.

feet be just like an ape's? But first, a new series of tornadoes

:00:23.:00:26.

has swept through the US state of Oklahoma, killing at least five

:00:26.:00:31.

people. More than 60,000 homes lost power and heavy rain has caused

:00:31.:00:35.

severe flooding. The tornado struck close to where a massive one 82

weeks ago, killing 24 people. The controversial cull of badgers in

:00:41.:00:42.

Gloucestershire and Somerset has begun.

:00:42.:00:47.

Farmers have been given the license to shoot badgers in an attempt to

:00:47.:00:49.

stop the spread of bovine tuberculosis, which affects cattle.

:00:49.:00:54.

Some people think you are other ways to do this and protesters are

:00:54.:00:58.

expected to try and disrupt the cull in the coming weeks. Scientists say

:00:58.:01:03.

they now have proof that there was once water on Mars and it is all

down to pebbles. The Curiosity Rover has found

:01:07.:01:10.

rounded pebbles on the floor of the Red Planet's Gale Crater, they

:01:10.:01:13.

believe the rocks were shaped by flowing water just like the valleys

:01:13.:01:17.

and channels on the planet. And sticking with space, a huge

:01:17.:01:21.

asteroid measuring 1.7 miles across flew past the Earth last night. The

:01:21.:01:27.

space rock, called 1998 QE2, is so big it has its own moon and passed

:01:27.:01:33.

to assist to us at about ten o'clock last night, but don't worry, it was

:01:33.:01:36.

still 3.6 million miles away. And could your feet be just like an

:01:36.:01:41.

ape's? Scientists think that one in every

:01:41.:01:44.

13 of us have bendy feet just like them. Researchers at Austin

:01:44.:01:48.

University asked people to walk barefoot around a museum so their

:01:48.:01:53.

feet could be analysed. -- Boston University. They need -- they

:01:53.:01:56.

believe the features could be linked to when our ancestors spent more

:01:56.:02:00.

time in the trees. Almost 12 months after winning programme, Leanne

:02:00.:02:04.

Mitchell is ready to take on the charts, but it will not be easy.

:02:04.:02:09.

The singer might fail to make the Top 100 with her debut album. Ricky

:02:09.:02:19.
:02:19.:02:23.

caught up with her. And the winner programme is Leanne! Last year's

:02:23.:02:29.

winner has kept a low profile over the last 12 months. Leanne Mitchell

:02:29.:02:33.

has just released her debut album and she wants us to fall in love

:02:33.:02:42.

with her voice all over again. And as a winner of a talent show is

:02:42.:02:48.

pretty much guaranteed a number one single, right? No. Leanne is not

:02:48.:02:53.

worried about low record sales. Some people argue given X factor winner

gets number one -- does not get number one, it would be a failure,

:02:57.:03:01.

do you agree to not at all, success is when you sure you are able to

:03:01.:03:05.

write an album and have that belief. I would love it to be that

:03:05.:03:11.

successful. I see myself now as yes, I came from a TV talent show, but

:03:11.:03:18.

now, I am starting off as an artist. That takes time, so we will build it

:03:18.:03:24.

up. It is the beginning of a journey for you. Tom Jones is obviously your

:03:24.:03:28.

mentor, is he someone you stayed in touch with?

:03:28.:03:38.
:03:38.:03:39.

He sent me a message. It was lovely. The X Factor winner, James Arthur,

:03:39.:03:45.

sold more than 900,000 copies of his debut single. Leanne's album is set

:03:45.:03:49.

to miss out on the Top 100, which goes to show that winning a talent

:03:49.:03:53.

show does not guarantee you a chance of success. But there is no denying

:03:53.:04:00.

Leanne has a first-class voice. OK, sport next, and the British

30-8 to the lines. Is he Briton's best boxer? Carl

:04:21.:04:25.

Froch would probably say he is. He is celebrating after victory last

:04:25.:04:29.

weekend over his long-time rival. Joe has been finding out as he made

:04:29.:04:39.
:04:39.:04:40.

it to the top of the toughest sports around. Everybody standing,

:04:40.:04:44.

applauding! Carl Froch got his revenge last weekend over Mikkel

:04:44.:04:49.

Kessler. He is now riding high as one of the country's most successful

:04:49.:04:56.

fighters ever. The emotions are high, there is a lot of pressure and

:04:56.:05:03.

anxiety, nerves, before a big fight. But then you get your arm raised and

:05:03.:05:06.

you know you have done the business. Boxing is one of the toughest sports

I always played and sports. -- different sports. I like one-man

:05:18.:05:23.

sports like golf and tennis. But boxing has taught him some important

:05:23.:05:30.

lessons. It has made me the person I am, personality wise. Self-respect,

:05:30.:05:38.

respect for others. Discipline. The ability to sacrifice. And work hard.

:05:38.:05:43.

Boxing fans can spend hours ranking fighters and arguing over who is the

:05:43.:05:47.

best. IBF super middleweight champion Carl Froch is likely to be

:05:47.:05:51.

in most top lists for some time to come.
