We're live on CBBC, Ayshah here with your Saturday afternoon stories.

0:00:030:00:06

Here's what we've got for you.

0:00:060:00:10

The high-flying wing suit jumpers taking to the skies in China.

0:00:100:00:13

And, learning to ride like a real-life cowboy.

0:00:130:00:15

It's Newsround.

0:00:150:00:20

There have been big celebrations in the country

0:00:290:00:31

of Sierra Leone in West Africa to mark the end of the Ebola outbreak.

0:00:310:00:34

Some people lit candies, others danced with joy.

0:00:340:00:36

There's been 42 days without any new cases, an official announcement's

0:00:360:00:39

expected tomorrow from the World Health Organisation.

0:00:390:00:41

More than 4,000 people have died because of the virus over

0:00:410:00:45

the past 18 months.

0:00:450:00:46

The BBC's Tulip Mazumdar joined in the celebrations.

0:00:460:00:54

These celebrations are just getting underway here.

0:00:540:00:56

Hundreds of people have come out into the streets, they are

0:00:560:01:01

walking up to Cotton Tree, the main big focal point of Freetown.

0:01:010:01:04

There, people will come to together.

0:01:040:01:07

They will remember those who died but they will also be celebrating.

0:01:070:01:11

THEY ALL CHEER

0:01:110:01:14

We say no to Ebola!

0:01:140:01:16

And you can go to our website to get answers to all

0:01:160:01:20

your questions about the virus, watch Anna Foster's report on how

0:01:200:01:22

Ebola has affected children there.

0:01:220:01:24

And there's lots of advice and help online too, if you're upset

0:01:240:01:26

by anything you hear in the news.

0:01:260:01:30

Next, the actor who plays Doctor Who says the programme is

0:01:300:01:32

on too late for kids to watch, and he thinks it should change.

0:01:320:01:36

It's on at around 8:30pm

0:01:360:01:42

at the moment on BBC One, after Strictly Come Dancing.

0:01:420:01:45

But Peter Capaldi says it should be much earlier.

0:01:450:01:47

I think the show has been going out too late, to be frank.

0:01:470:01:50

Probably 8:30pm

0:01:500:01:54

is not the time Doctor Who should be broadcast.

0:01:540:01:59

Because, to me, particularly with the new Who, it is a show that

0:01:590:02:02

families sit down and watch.

0:02:020:02:03

I think it has to be a time when they can do that.

0:02:030:02:07

That should be 7:30pm

0:02:070:02:07

or something like that.

0:02:070:02:08

I think that has to be looked at.

0:02:080:02:11

It's nearly here, the BBC's Children In Need is back

0:02:110:02:14

on the 13th of November.

0:02:140:02:16

It raises millions of pounds for good causes.

0:02:160:02:18

This year, there'll also be a big concert,

0:02:180:02:21

including singer James Morrison.

0:02:210:02:22

Leah caught up with him to find out more.

0:02:220:02:28

It is fun, it is entertaining.

0:02:280:02:32

There is some great music.

0:02:320:02:34

There's some great hosts, Rob Brydon and Tom Jones do it together.

0:02:340:02:40

It was very funny watching it.

0:02:400:02:43

I think it is going to be a good, light-hearted, family entertainment

0:02:430:02:46

segment with some great music.

0:02:460:02:48

I got to sing with Tom Jones.

0:02:480:02:49

That was quite amazing.

0:02:490:02:53

One of those moments in my life, oh, I can'be believe this is actually

0:02:530:02:57

happening.

0:02:570:02:59

And why is it important stars like you get involved

0:02:590:03:02

and support Children In Need?

0:03:020:03:03

It is obvious, because it makes a difference.

0:03:030:03:05

I've got a kid now.

0:03:050:03:06

And the thought of any child going without

0:03:060:03:08

in any way makes me feel upset.

0:03:080:03:13

If I feel I can do something by using what I normally do,

0:03:130:03:16

which is my voice, to raise awareness, it is worth doing.

0:03:160:03:20

You write all your own songs, James.

0:03:200:03:23

What do you make of programmes like X Factor or The Voice?

0:03:230:03:26

X Factor is good.

0:03:260:03:30

But it's not all good.

0:03:300:03:32

It depends what you want as a person.

0:03:320:03:37

If you want to make real music, then X Factor is probably not

0:03:370:03:40

the show for you.

0:03:400:03:41

But if you want to be famous and be known as a singer, then,

0:03:410:03:45

maybe The Voice or X Factor is the right thing.

0:03:450:03:48

It depends what you want.

0:03:480:03:50

I want to bring it back to Children In Need and Pudsey Bear,

0:03:500:03:54

let's bring him in.

0:03:540:03:56

Take him.

0:03:560:03:58

Have a hug.

0:03:580:04:03

James, tell us why it is so important that everyone does

0:04:030:04:06

their bit for Children In Need?

0:04:060:04:09

Because he's still got a gammy eye, no one's fixed his eye over the

0:04:090:04:12

years. I think it's important, Children In Need is a really

0:04:120:04:15

well-known charity, they do a lot of

0:04:150:04:16

great stuff. Children are important, they are the adults of the future.

0:04:160:04:19

If everyone does a little bit, it helps.

0:04:190:04:21

High five.

0:04:210:04:22

High five.

0:04:220:04:24

Thanks, Leah and James.

0:04:240:04:26

Now, big groups of children trekked up the Wrekin Hill in Shropshire to

0:04:260:04:30

create a Remembrance poppy, just with people, at the summit.

0:04:300:04:33

Poppies are the flowers worn to show others that you are thinking about

0:04:330:04:36

those who were killed or injured, fighting for their country.

0:04:360:04:39

It was really raining, so they all wore red plastic ponchos.

0:04:390:04:46

It was really exciting because just being able to have the chance to

0:04:460:04:49

build a human poppy was amazing.

0:04:490:04:50

You know you are doing it for a good cause.

0:04:500:04:57

I was thinking about my dad.

0:04:570:04:58

My dad fought in Afghanistan fighting the war.

0:04:580:05:01

You can find out the history of the poppy on our website

0:05:010:05:04

and why people wear them.

0:05:040:05:11

Ever fancied being a cowboy?

0:05:110:05:12

Well, the sport of western riding is becoming more popular in the UK, and

0:05:120:05:15

people have been getting ready for the World Championships next year.

0:05:150:05:22

As a child I loved Toy Story, and Jessie has been

0:05:220:05:25

my favourite Disney character.

0:05:250:05:26

I feel like Jess when I am on my horse.

0:05:260:05:28

It feels like you're in the West, it's really awesome.

0:05:280:05:32

Last up, take a look at this dramatic display in

0:05:320:05:34

the skies above south-west China.

0:05:340:05:36

More than 30 competitors jumped from a mountain top platform wearing

0:05:360:05:38

specially-adapted wing suits.

0:05:380:05:40

It was part of a big performance at an air show.

0:05:400:05:45

And it was done by professional fliers, so don't try this at home.

0:05:450:05:50

That's it from Team Newsround today.

0:05:500:05:53

We're back tomorrow morning at 10am.
