You're live with me Ayshah this Friday morning with Newsround.

:00:00.:00:00.

Briitsh astronaut Tim Peake is about to leave the UK

:00:07.:00:10.

And why Ronaldo thinks he's the best football player in the world.

:00:11.:00:26.

It's been more than a year since the first clinic was set up in

:00:27.:00:29.

West Africa to help people suffering from the deadly virus called Ebola.

:00:30.:00:33.

Lots of countries and charities have been working to

:00:34.:00:36.

Now one of the worst affected countries, called Sierra Leone,

:00:37.:00:41.

The BBC's Anna Foster sent us this report.

:00:42.:00:47.

From October 2013, the worst outbreak of Ebola in history

:00:48.:00:51.

infected more than 28,000 people across Nigeria, Liberia, Guinea

:00:52.:00:56.

Thousands of people lost their lives,

:00:57.:01:02.

Children have been unable to go to school to stop the virus spreading

:01:03.:01:09.

further, and many have lost parents, relatives and friends.

:01:10.:01:14.

Medical teams from around the world have been working hard to

:01:15.:01:17.

On Saturday it will be six weeks since the last person in

:01:18.:01:24.

That will mean the outbreak here is over.

:01:25.:01:30.

For children here at the school it is a really

:01:31.:01:32.

But what they need to remember is all the things they have learned

:01:33.:01:37.

about washing their hands and staying clean to make sure it

:01:38.:01:39.

So what does an Ebola-free country mean to the children living here?

:01:40.:01:46.

I feel good, because I stayed for nine months at home.

:01:47.:01:50.

But now I'm feeling good, I'm back to school.

:01:51.:01:55.

I feel very excited because it will mean everything is OK,

:01:56.:02:00.

Because Ebola is gone, finally, we win.

:02:01.:02:07.

After the declaration of Ebola, things will be all right,

:02:08.:02:13.

and everything will be back to its normal form.

:02:14.:02:16.

I pray that the declaration will soon take place,

:02:17.:02:21.

because I can't wait to hear that Ebola is finished.

:02:22.:02:25.

It's a huge moment for the country which has suffered so

:02:26.:02:28.

Although this marks the end of one battle, it will be a long time

:02:29.:02:34.

before people in Sierra Leone can recover from what has happened.

:02:35.:02:39.

There's just a little over one month left until Tim Peake launches

:02:40.:02:44.

into space and becomes the first British astronaut to live and work

:02:45.:02:48.

An important part of his mission is to inspire kids like you.

:02:49.:02:53.

BBC reporter Tim Muffett has been to find out how the mission has already

:02:54.:02:57.

started to get children across the country excited.

:02:58.:03:02.

# Spaceman, always wanted you to go into

:03:03.:03:13.

The mission to get children inspired by Tim Peake's journey

:03:14.:03:24.

Destination Space is about engaging young people with the

:03:25.:03:32.

It's about getting people thinking about the science, the technology,

:03:33.:03:36.

the maths and the engineering that goes into it.

:03:37.:03:41.

This two-year Government-funded programme will take place

:03:42.:03:45.

at 20 discovery centres across the UK, like this one in Bristol.

:03:46.:03:49.

There will also be school workshops and a special website.

:03:50.:03:53.

I didn't think that hovercraft could fly off the floor.

:03:54.:03:57.

I liked when we used the machines and tried to build the tower.

:03:58.:04:03.

They might need more people to help astronauts go up to space.

:04:04.:04:07.

One of the aims of this project is to highlight the variety of jobs

:04:08.:04:11.

It's hoped Tim Peake's mission will not just inspire the astronauts

:04:12.:04:16.

of tomorrow, but also the scientists, the software

:04:17.:04:19.

What you want them to take away from Tim Peake's mission?

:04:20.:04:26.

I want them to take away the idea to actually be curious,

:04:27.:04:29.

If you have a passion, to follow it all the way through.

:04:30.:04:37.

For Tim Peake, the journey of a lifetime awaits.

:04:38.:04:41.

Far below him, so too, does an incredible learning opportunity.

:04:42.:04:49.

Nasa scientists think they now understand why Mars turned

:04:50.:04:51.

They believe that intense solar storms swept away much

:04:52.:04:56.

of its atmosphere billions of years ago, when the sun was more active.

:04:57.:05:02.

Cristiano Ronaldo says he is the best footballer in the world.

:05:03.:05:06.

The Real Madrid star has been speaking to the BBC ahead

:05:07.:05:08.

of the release of a special film about his career on Monday.

:05:09.:05:12.

But does he think he's better than Barcelona

:05:13.:05:14.

I don't care what other people think or say, in my mind,

:05:15.:05:24.

not just this year but always, I am always the best.

:05:25.:05:28.

I'm always going to say that, because we have to thinking we're

:05:29.:05:34.

Is there anything Lionel Messi's better than you at?

:05:35.:05:40.

Maybe in your opinion Messi's better than me,

:05:41.:05:45.

That's all from the Newsround team this

:05:46.:06:00.

have a great day, I will see you soon. Bye-bye!

:06:01.:06:01.
