Ricky here with Saturday's Newsround. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:05 | |
On the way: | 0:00:05 | 0:00:06 | |
Could we be close to finding aliens? | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
And do farms need to be in the countryside? | 0:00:09 | 0:00:18 | |
First today, one of sport's greatest superstars Muhammad Ali | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
has died aged 74. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
The boxer was famous around the world, but not | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
just for his sport. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
We've been taking a look back at his life and why | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
he was so important. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
I'll whoop any man in the world and I want everyone out | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
there on TV to know it, I am the greatest. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
Muhammad Ali, the world's most famous boxer. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
He's got him. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:48 | |
Born with a different name, Cassius Clay, | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
in Kentucky in the US in 1942. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
He first achieved fame when he won gold | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
at the Rome Olympics in 1960. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
He was famous for the way he talked and the things he said. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
Put him in the hospital! | 0:01:04 | 0:01:05 | |
He has never been stopped. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:06 | |
Oh, I'm so great. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
He won his first world heavyweight title at the | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
age of just 22. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
But Muhammad Ali was more than just a boxer. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
He campaigned for civil rights at a time | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
when black people in America were treated differently. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
The boxer converted to Islam and changed | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
his name from Cassius to Muhammad Ali. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
He spoke out about racism and the world listened. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
One of his most famous fights was nicknamed the Rumble in | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
the Jungle. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
It took place in 1974 against this man, George Foreman. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:43 | |
If you think I whooped Sonny Liston, you wait until I get George Foreman. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
He talks too much, he's ugly, he's pretending, | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
I'm the true champion and they make me the underdog. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
Muhammad Ali won. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
He just beat himself out. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:57 | |
He was so tired he just fell on the ropes. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
I said, man, this is the wrong place to get tired! | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
In 1984, the boxer became unwell. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
He was diagnosed with Parkinson's, a condition in which part | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
of the brain becomes damaged. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
It made life difficult for the boxer but he | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
didn't give up. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
In 1999, Muhammad Ali won the BBC Sports Personality | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
of the Century. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
He got more votes than the rest of the contenders put together. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
I had a good time boxing. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
I enjoyed it and I may come back! | 0:02:30 | 0:02:35 | |
He is known all over the world and will | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
be remembered for being the greatest. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
I am the king of the world. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:46 | |
Next, is there life beyond our planet? | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
That's what scientists are aiming to find out with the | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
Square Kilometre Array project. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
It's a huge radio telescope which will be able to search further | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
into space than ever before. | 0:02:55 | 0:03:03 | |
Aliens. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
Are they really out there? | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
If so, are we ever going to find them? | 0:03:17 | 0:03:23 | |
The universe is vast. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
Our solar system is just one of the solar systems around the sun | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
which is one star amongst millions of | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
stars in the galaxy and our galaxy is one among the millions of | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
galaxies in the universe, so why not? | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
Maybe there is light somewhere in another solar system in another | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
galaxy. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:47 | |
-- life. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:48 | |
That's what scientists are trying to find out with the help of | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
these. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:52 | |
This is the Square Kilometre Array project. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
When it is finished, it will be the world's most powerful | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
audio telescope, so sensitive that it will be able to detect a signal | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
from a planet that is tens of light years away. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
These telescopes are listening for intelligent life and | 0:04:02 | 0:04:07 | |
that is why they have decided to build them here. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
What makes this place in South Africa perfect is | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
that there are no radio waves around to mess up the signal. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
No microwaves, no mobile phones. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
I have had to turn mine off. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
Every day these dishes are collecting massive | 0:04:22 | 0:04:23 | |
amounts of data. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
Which will eventually be processed by a | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
supercomputer in the UK. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
Where experts will look for any signs of life. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
How do you go about looking for alien signals? | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
You've got big telescopes like that and they can listen in the | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
universe and listen for radio signals from other planets where we | 0:04:42 | 0:04:47 | |
hope they also have radio signals and maybe we can detect some of | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
these signals. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
How would we know that aliens have tried to contact us? | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
We are looking for intelligent signals, not from nature but made by | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
intelligent creatures. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:01 | |
Will we ever be able to find an alien? | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
I certainly hope so. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:05 | |
I hope to find them once in my lifetime, it will be | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
such a big discovery. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:09 | |
But it could take a long time and also it can take long | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
to communicate with them because the | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
signals take maybe years to go to the civilisation and also years to | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
come back so one simple question and answer | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
could take 40 years. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
Of course there is no guarantee that other civilisations exist beyond our | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
world but if they do, it might not be long before | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
SKA finds them. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:36 | |
When you imagine a farm, you probably think of cows, | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
sheep and the countryside but a farmer in the Netherlands has | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
opened up the largest urban farm in Europe in an old factory. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
The urban farm is designed to be sustainable with no waste and uses | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
fish to produce the fertiliser to help grow the plants. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:55 | |
That's all from me, I'm back tomorrow just before 10. | 0:05:55 | 0:06:01 |
