Hi, I'm Jenny with a news-tastic bulletin coming up.

Keep watching.

What's the secret of Ed Sheeran's success?

And the elephant getting shiny new tusks.

First up, showbiz, and Ed Sheeran has been dominating the charts

in the last few weeks with songs from his new album Divide.

The Shape of You has topped the singles chart

for eight weeks so far.

It's expected lots more of his songs will be in the top ten chart

when official figures are released later today.

So what's the secret of his success?

We asked kids in Manchester why they think he's doing so well.

I like Ed Sheeran's music because they're really catchy.

I like to sing along with the music.

He makes really good songs, and he's just a

really good singer.

I think Ed Sheeran is popular because he

doesn't act like he's a pop star, he just acts

like he's a random person.

He doesn't dress like a singer would.

To be honest, he needs to get a better haircut!

In my opinion, I think he's the best singer just

because I really like him and he's my favourite singer.

You don't really see pop stars with ginger hair, do you?

No, you don't.

Next to the Great Barrier Reef, off the coast

of Queensland in Australia.

It's the largest living thing on earth, and even

visible from outer space.

But scientists say it has been hit by widespread bleaching

of its corals for the second year in a row.

The first aerial survey of 2017 shows large areas

of the reef have been damaged by high water temperatures.

Experts say they're worried about the reef's long-term health.

Next, what's the weirdest thing you've found in your back garden?

Well, two statues have been found buried in mud on wasteland

near some flats in Cairo, Egypt.

They are thought to be of ancient egyptian rulers called Pharaohs

who were in power thousands of years ago.

Archaeologists say the discovery of the larger than life

statues is very important.

The area used to be the city of Heliopolis, which was dedicated

to the worship of the sun god Ra.

Football now, and Lincoln City Fans are getting pretty excited

about being in the FA Cup quarter finals tomorrow.

The non-league team face Arsenal after a dramatic win against Burnley

got them through to the next round.

So what are their chances?

We went to speak to some young fans.

ALL: Come on, Lincoln.

Hi, I'm Kieron.

Hi, I'm Josh.

Hi, I'm Charlie.

ALL: We all play for Lincoln Academy.

Welcome to our club.

COMMENTATOR: One last chance for the Lincoln

centre-halves to come forward.

Sam Habergham will sweep this in left-footed.

To the far stick it goes, headed back across goal!

Raggett!

Oh, I thought it was in!

It is in!

And Lincoln City, of non-league football,

of the National League, take the lead at Premier League

Burnley with a minute to go!

Lincoln have made history!

It's the first time ever in our history that we've got

this far in the FA Cup.

People around Lincoln are really excited for

the quarterfinals against Arsenal.

It's really inspired me because Lincoln have just made

everybody try harder and work harder because you know

you can do that well.

If we got through to the semifinals it would be

amazing to go to Wembley.

I think Lincoln could do well.

They'll do well if they scored, and if they won it would be amazing.

I think Arsenal need to watch out for Matt Rhead and Nathan Arnold.

I think Matt Rhead will bully their defence and Nathan Arnold

will be really quick.

I'm a bit worried of what Sanchez and Ozil can do because they're

both great players.

I really want to play for Lincoln when I'm older.

Watching this FA Cup has been amazing, it's really inspired me.

My prediction is 2-1 to Lincoln.

I predict 2-0 Lincoln, Matt Rhead and Luke Waterfall to score.

1-0 Lincoln.

2-1 to Lincoln.

Probably 2-1 Arsenal.

COMMENTATOR: This is the first time in 103 years that the FA Cup has

a non-league side in the last eight!

Good luck, Lincoln, you can do it.

You can do it in the quarterfinals against Arsenal.

Good luck, Lincoln, I hope you win against Arsenal.

I hope you're going to do amazing.

We can do this!

Next up, meet this 13-year-old elephant.

He lives in a zoo in California in the US.

He's just been fitted with these special shiny brass caps to cover

the ends of his damaged tusks.

The elephant's tusks were cracked so these new caps will hopefully

keep them strong and healthy.

Tusk-tastic!

And for loads more great animal stories including bees smelly feet

That's all from the team today, Newsround's back just before

9am tomorrow morning.
