Hi, I'm Ricky, it's Sunday afternoon and this is Newsround.

Coming up...

The holiday that's out of this world.

The secrets of how elephants sleep.

And find out why these guys in America are shell-ebrating!

First up and it was a great weekend for tennis

World Number One Andy Murray.

The Brit won his first tennis title of the year

in the United Arab Emirates.

He beat Spain's Fernando Verdasco in straight sets to win

the Dubai Championships.

And he's pretty happy about it!

So obviously, nice to win again.

You know, I haven't managed to win this one before.

I've played here quite a few times so, yeah,

obviously good to get the first title of the year and, yeah,

hopefully keep the momentum going the next two weeks.

Next up, football.

It was a great day for Liverpool in the Premier League

as they crushed rivals Arsenal.

This goal from Winaldum helped Liverpool to a 3-1 win and moved

them up to third in the league table.

Next, there are about to be some big changes to how the UK deals

with its neighbours in Europe.

It's all because of something you might have heard mentioned

a lot recently: Brexit.

Jenny went to Scotland to find out what kids there think.

Despite what people say, it's not always raining.

The people are nice and friendly. There's loads to see and do

and I love the museums.

Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, where a lot of people have strong

opinions on the vote that happened last year on whether the UK should

leave the club of countries called the European Union.

Across the whole UK, most people voted to leave the year

Across the whole UK, most people voted to leave the EU

but here in Scotland, most people wanted to stay in it.

So what do the children here think now the UK is leaving?

I think it's kind of bad, because it leaves the UK more

vulnerable than we are right now, if we don't have the support

that we used to since we've left the year.

that we used to since we've left the EU.

The EU has different rules from what other countries

have and if we leave, we're not going to be

following these rules any more, so it might be a bit confusing.

Yeah, I don't like the fact that we are leaving but I guess it's

just going to have to happen.

I think children should have had a say, because it's

going to affect their future.

I hope they don't keep going on about it, and if we're

going to do it, just do it.

And there's loads more about Brexit and what it all means

at Newsround online.

If you think you know everything there is to know about elephants,

well you'd be wrong.

Researchers in Botswana have made an exciting new discovery.

Watch this.

African elephants already hold the title for largest

land animal but now, they might be about to break another

record - for least sleep. Researchers in Botswana found that

elephants like these guys only need two hours of sleep a night.

That's roughly 14 hours a week - compared to around 56 hours needed

for humans and roughly 112 for cats. The study even worked out

how they're sleeping.

By placing a monitor in elephants' trunks and fitting a collar

that detects movement, the researchers found they usually

snooze standing and only lie down every few nights.

It's thought elephants sleep so little because they have to be

on the lookout for danger.

They also need a lot of food to power their big bodies and prefer

to spend their time eating or searching for their next snack.

Now let's dim the lights in the studio for a bit

of suspense, please.

It's time for the Conch Shell Blowing Contest.

Yep, it's an annual contest which takes place

in Florida in the US.

Contestants make sounds from these shells, while doing

weird and wonderful things like hula-hooping.

And check out the youngest contestant!

The skills needed to blow a conch shell is just a pucker.

And just try.

You know, nothing, any sound you get out of here is awesome.

So just try and you will be successful.

Finally, we're talking holidays - in space!

An American rocket company has said it's going to fly two tourists

to the Moon next year.

The announcement's got us pretty excited here at Newsround HQ.

Hello there, travellers!

Are you fed up with the same old boring holidays?

Looking for something a bit different?

Well, why not try a one-of-a kind destination that's

out of this world!

Around 238,000 miles, in fact!

In case you didn't know, that's about 30 Earths away.

WOW!

A top-of-the-range SpaceX rocket will take you

on a trip around the Moon.

Not on it!

You can look but no touching.

This unique location has not been visited for more than 40 years,

and has all the thrills, with none of the atmosphere!

For the small price of a lot of money, Space X are giving two

lucky holiday-makers the chance to fly around the Moon

before returning to Earth.

Like any space travel, there are some risks involved.

There'll be test flights to check everything's working.

Make sure you book enough time off - the journey could last a whole week!

Lift-off is scheduled for 2018, so don't miss out!

And go online to check out this amazing story about the twins

That's all from me.
