Hey, everyone, I'm Martin with your Saturday lunchtime Newsround. Coming | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
up... The Voice coach Ricky Wilson answers | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
your questions. And how to replace Sir Bruce? You've been telling us | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
who you think should be the new Strictly presenter. | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
First, it's a historic day in Afghanistan where people are voting | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
for a new president. It's the first time a transfer of power is being | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
decided by an election there. There's really tight security, with | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
400,000 police officers and soldiers on duty. The Taliban, a group who | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
were overthrown from power over a decade ago, have said they'll try to | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
disrupt the vote. And for many women there, this is the first time | :00:43. | :00:51. | |
they'll be able to have their say. We have coming to the polling | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
station and this is where the voting happens. Men and women vote | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
separately. For many when it is the first time they have been able to | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
abort. They come in to get their identity checked and then their | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
finger is get in indelible ink. They then get a ballot paper and they | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
have eight people to choose from to become the new president. They then | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
going to one of these births. -- one of these boosted make their boat. | :01:25. | :01:32. | |
This is the first time they are transcending power from one leader | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
to another leader democratically. There is an enormous sense of | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
resilience here. People here at extremely proud to have cast their | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
vote. If you want to know more about what life is like in Afghanistan, a | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
reminder that earlier this year Nel travelled back to where she was | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
born, for a Newsround Special. The kids living there told her what they | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
think the future holds for their home. You can watch the full | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
programme on the Newsround website. Back here, one of the world's most | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
famous horse races, the Grand National, takes place later today. | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
Up to 40 racehorses will be competing along the tough | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
four-and-a-half mile course. There are 30 fences to jump over. It's | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
been criticised in the past for being too dangerous, after some | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
horses died. But officials are hoping recent safety changes will | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
help ensure all runners and riders finish safely, as they did last | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
year. Sport now, and in the next hour, | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
Steph Houghton will captain England's women as they kick off | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
their 2015 Football World Cup qualifying campaign against | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
Montenegro. It'll be their first competitive match under new manager | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
Mark Sampson. Here's what some of the players think of their new boss. | :02:43. | :02:51. | |
It is exciting. Mark has brought new ideas. He has brought a lot of | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
energy as well. The girls are being really positive and dying in two | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
things he is saying. To be honest, I really like him and his energy. I | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
have got a new lease of life. Next, who should replace Sir Bruce Forsyth | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
as presenter of Strictly Come Dancing? That's the question on many | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
dance fans' lips today. Graham Norton has emerged as the favourite | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
to fill his shoes. Brucie's led the hit show for ten years but announced | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
yesterday that it's the right time to step down from doing the live | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
shows. He will still work on special pre-recorded Strictlys, over | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
Christmas time. Well, it's fair to say that lots of you think Sir Bruce | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
is going to be very hard to replace. Brilliant idea, he gets my vote too! | :03:34. | :03:57. | |
Sticking with Saturday night shows - the final of The Voice is tonight | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
and mentor Ricky Wilson will hope his contestant Christina-Marie | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
Wickens takes home the top prize. But Ricky's maybe best known as the | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
lead singer of the band Kaiser Chiefs and we caught up with him and | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
band mate Simon to answer your questions. | :04:12. | :04:28. | |
I think nerves are a good thing to have. You have got to understand | :04:29. | :04:36. | |
that once you are on this stage they will disappear and you will start to | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
enjoy it. You can only learn that by doing something. There is a football | :04:41. | :04:54. | |
team in South Africa called that. We thought it was a cool name. We sort | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
of nicked it. It was the first band 's name that none of us heated! I | :05:01. | :05:10. | |
love it. I want the person with their best voices to win it. When I | :05:11. | :05:23. | |
turned around it was the first time I had turned round in the chair on | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
this show. They don't give you any warning, they just put you in the | :05:28. | :05:35. | |
chair and someone starts singing. It is important to always keep getting | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
new goals. When we first started it was to do a gig. Then a bigger gig. | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
It is always important to set a new goal. There are lots of things we | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
would still like to do. That's all from me, Newsround's back at two | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
o'clock. See you then. | :05:56. | :06:00. |
