Ricky here with Saturday's Newsround.

On the way:

0:00:050:00:06

Could we be close to finding aliens?

0:00:060:00:09

And do farms need to be in the countryside?

0:00:090:00:18

First today, one of sport's greatest superstars Muhammad Ali

0:00:220:00:25

has died aged 74.

0:00:250:00:28

The boxer was famous around the world, but not

0:00:280:00:30

just for his sport.

0:00:300:00:32

We've been taking a look back at his life and why

0:00:320:00:34

he was so important.

0:00:340:00:37

I'll whoop any man in the world and I want everyone out

0:00:370:00:40

there on TV to know it, I am the greatest.

0:00:400:00:43

Muhammad Ali, the world's most famous boxer.

0:00:430:00:47

He's got him.

0:00:470:00:48

Born with a different name, Cassius Clay,

0:00:480:00:50

in Kentucky in the US in 1942.

0:00:500:00:54

He first achieved fame when he won gold

0:00:540:00:56

at the Rome Olympics in 1960.

0:00:560:01:00

He was famous for the way he talked and the things he said.

0:01:000:01:04

Put him in the hospital!

0:01:040:01:05

He has never been stopped.

0:01:050:01:06

Oh, I'm so great.

0:01:060:01:09

He won his first world heavyweight title at the

0:01:090:01:11

age of just 22.

0:01:110:01:14

But Muhammad Ali was more than just a boxer.

0:01:140:01:17

He campaigned for civil rights at a time

0:01:170:01:19

when black people in America were treated differently.

0:01:190:01:23

The boxer converted to Islam and changed

0:01:230:01:25

his name from Cassius to Muhammad Ali.

0:01:250:01:29

He spoke out about racism and the world listened.

0:01:290:01:33

One of his most famous fights was nicknamed the Rumble in

0:01:330:01:35

the Jungle.

0:01:350:01:37

It took place in 1974 against this man, George Foreman.

0:01:370:01:43

If you think I whooped Sonny Liston, you wait until I get George Foreman.

0:01:430:01:46

He talks too much, he's ugly, he's pretending,

0:01:460:01:49

I'm the true champion and they make me the underdog.

0:01:490:01:52

Muhammad Ali won.

0:01:520:01:56

He just beat himself out.

0:01:560:01:57

He was so tired he just fell on the ropes.

0:01:570:02:01

I said, man, this is the wrong place to get tired!

0:02:010:02:05

In 1984, the boxer became unwell.

0:02:050:02:08

He was diagnosed with Parkinson's, a condition in which part

0:02:080:02:11

of the brain becomes damaged.

0:02:110:02:14

It made life difficult for the boxer but he

0:02:140:02:16

didn't give up.

0:02:160:02:18

In 1999, Muhammad Ali won the BBC Sports Personality

0:02:180:02:22

of the Century.

0:02:220:02:24

He got more votes than the rest of the contenders put together.

0:02:240:02:28

I had a good time boxing.

0:02:280:02:30

I enjoyed it and I may come back!

0:02:300:02:35

He is known all over the world and will

0:02:350:02:38

be remembered for being the greatest.

0:02:380:02:40

I am the king of the world.

0:02:400:02:46

Next, is there life beyond our planet?

0:02:460:02:48

That's what scientists are aiming to find out with the

0:02:480:02:50

Square Kilometre Array project.

0:02:500:02:52

It's a huge radio telescope which will be able to search further

0:02:520:02:55

into space than ever before.

0:02:550:03:03

Aliens.

0:03:110:03:15

Are they really out there?

0:03:150:03:17

If so, are we ever going to find them?

0:03:170:03:23

The universe is vast.

0:03:230:03:25

Our solar system is just one of the solar systems around the sun

0:03:250:03:28

which is one star amongst millions of

0:03:280:03:30

stars in the galaxy and our galaxy is one among the millions of

0:03:300:03:34

galaxies in the universe, so why not?

0:03:340:03:37

Maybe there is light somewhere in another solar system in another

0:03:370:03:40

galaxy.

0:03:400:03:47

-- life.

0:03:470:03:48

That's what scientists are trying to find out with the help of

0:03:480:03:51

these.

0:03:510:03:52

This is the Square Kilometre Array project.

0:03:520:03:54

When it is finished, it will be the world's most powerful

0:03:540:03:56

audio telescope, so sensitive that it will be able to detect a signal

0:03:560:04:00

from a planet that is tens of light years away.

0:04:000:04:02

These telescopes are listening for intelligent life and

0:04:020:04:07

that is why they have decided to build them here.

0:04:070:04:10

What makes this place in South Africa perfect is

0:04:100:04:12

that there are no radio waves around to mess up the signal.

0:04:120:04:16

No microwaves, no mobile phones.

0:04:160:04:19

I have had to turn mine off.

0:04:190:04:22

Every day these dishes are collecting massive

0:04:220:04:23

amounts of data.

0:04:230:04:27

Which will eventually be processed by a

0:04:270:04:29

supercomputer in the UK.

0:04:290:04:33

Where experts will look for any signs of life.

0:04:330:04:36

How do you go about looking for alien signals?

0:04:360:04:40

You've got big telescopes like that and they can listen in the

0:04:400:04:42

universe and listen for radio signals from other planets where we

0:04:420:04:47

hope they also have radio signals and maybe we can detect some of

0:04:470:04:50

these signals.

0:04:500:04:52

How would we know that aliens have tried to contact us?

0:04:520:04:54

We are looking for intelligent signals, not from nature but made by

0:04:540:04:57

intelligent creatures.

0:04:570:05:01

Will we ever be able to find an alien?

0:05:010:05:04

I certainly hope so.

0:05:040:05:05

I hope to find them once in my lifetime, it will be

0:05:050:05:08

such a big discovery.

0:05:080:05:09

But it could take a long time and also it can take long

0:05:090:05:12

to communicate with them because the

0:05:120:05:14

signals take maybe years to go to the civilisation and also years to

0:05:140:05:18

come back so one simple question and answer

0:05:180:05:21

could take 40 years.

0:05:210:05:25

Of course there is no guarantee that other civilisations exist beyond our

0:05:250:05:28

world but if they do, it might not be long before

0:05:280:05:31

SKA finds them.

0:05:310:05:36

When you imagine a farm, you probably think of cows,

0:05:360:05:38

sheep and the countryside but a farmer in the Netherlands has

0:05:380:05:41

opened up the largest urban farm in Europe in an old factory.

0:05:410:05:45

The urban farm is designed to be sustainable with no waste and uses

0:05:450:05:49

fish to produce the fertiliser to help grow the plants.

0:05:490:05:55

That's all from me, I'm back tomorrow just before 10.
