It's Saturday, and here's what's on the show today.

:00:00.:00:07.

A light festival lights up London Town.

:00:08.:00:09.

And hope for elephant numbers in Cambodia.

:00:10.:00:22.

Let's start with Tim Peake's epic spacewalk.

:00:23.:00:24.

Yesterday he became the first British person ever

:00:25.:00:26.

He spent a slightly shorter than planned five hours in space,

:00:27.:00:33.

after his fellow astronaut said he had water in his helmet.

:00:34.:00:36.

But they completed their main job, and replaced a faulty power unit.

:00:37.:00:41.

Migrants and refugees have been leaving their homes in places

:00:42.:00:44.

like Syria and Afghanistan, where there is fighting,

:00:45.:00:47.

Many travel great distances in search of a better life in Europe

:00:48.:00:52.

and some end up living in makeshift camps, like in Calais in France.

:00:53.:00:58.

And they hope to make their way to the UK.

:00:59.:01:00.

Now the French government have asked them to leave the camp.

:01:01.:01:03.

BBC Reporter Simon Jones is in Calais and sent this report.

:01:04.:01:12.

This is the area known as the jungle, it is home to around 4000

:01:13.:01:20.

people, including some children. They come from countries like

:01:21.:01:24.

Afghanistan and Sudan, because they feel they are not safe there, but it

:01:25.:01:28.

is close to a main road where some people try to get on lorries heading

:01:29.:01:32.

over to England. The authorities don't want that so want the people

:01:33.:01:38.

here to move. Some people are, you can see that happening here, the

:01:39.:01:42.

authorities say the living conditions aren't good enough here,

:01:43.:01:46.

it is a muddy and freezing cold, so they've set up a brand-new camp on

:01:47.:01:50.

the other side of the jungle. That is made up of shipping containers

:01:51.:01:56.

and can house up to 1500 people. The idea is people get out of the cold

:01:57.:02:01.

and the mud, the bug problem is, many people say they simply don't

:02:02.:02:05.

want to go there because there's a of community here and they feel the

:02:06.:02:12.

other shelter is a bit like a prison camp, so they are resisting that and

:02:13.:02:15.

some say they are refusing to move out of designated zone.

:02:16.:02:18.

And if you want to know more about the migrant crisis,

:02:19.:02:21.

then head to our website for lots more information.

:02:22.:02:25.

To some hopeful news for elephants in Cambodia in South East Asia.

:02:26.:02:27.

A conversation group says they've seen an increase in the numbers

:02:28.:02:30.

of elephants and bigger groups roaming around.

:02:31.:02:32.

Companies cutting down trees for wood had been putting

:02:33.:02:34.

the animals' lives at risk, but these new numbers are hopeful.

:02:35.:02:38.

The streets of London have been dazzling with this

:02:39.:02:40.

It's the biggest to ever hit the capital, with 30 different light

:02:41.:02:45.

shows transforming some of the city's most famous buildings

:02:46.:02:48.

and transport into multi-coloured works of art.

:02:49.:02:53.

That's all from me, Newsround's back just before 12.
