Ayshah here with all this coming up:

0:00:110:00:13

The Leicester City fairytale continues.

0:00:130:00:15

Plus will this research ship be called Boaty McBoatface?

0:00:150:00:20

Rescue teams have been working through the night after a powerful

0:00:270:00:30

earthquake hit Ecuador in South America on Saturday.

0:00:300:00:33

More than 270 people have died because of the quake.

0:00:330:00:37

The army and police are working together with rescue services

0:00:370:00:39

to help find survivors.

0:00:390:00:45

And in Japan thousands of people have been told to leave their homes

0:00:450:00:48

after a series of earthquakes.

0:00:480:00:50

Damage was done to roads, bridges and tunnels and 42 people

0:00:500:00:53

died in quakes that hit last week.

0:00:530:00:56

Now Japan's earthquake watchers have warned that more tremors may be

0:00:560:00:59

expected in the area over the next few days.

0:00:590:01:04

To football, and Leicester City are continuing their magical season

0:01:040:01:08

and have extended their lead at the top of the Premier League.

0:01:080:01:11

Here's what happened in the latest match.

0:01:110:01:13

And the fairytale just about continues.

0:01:130:01:15

But it wasn't an easy ride for Leicester.

0:01:150:01:18

Although at first it seemed to be, with Jamie Vardy scoring

0:01:180:01:20

this cracker of a goal.

0:01:200:01:23

But then he was sent off, leaving his team with only ten men.

0:01:230:01:27

And he also misses the next game.

0:01:270:01:30

West Ham took advantage with a penalty from Andy Carroll.

0:01:300:01:34

Leicester were heading for a bit of a hiccup when West Ham got

0:01:340:01:38

a second goal, this one from Aaron Cresswell.

0:01:380:01:41

But in the last moments of the game another penalty was awarded,

0:01:410:01:45

with Leonardo Ulloa scoring from the spot.

0:01:450:01:50

Now it's over to Tottenham to close Leicester's eight-point lead

0:01:500:01:52

when they play Stoke this evening.

0:01:520:01:56

Rangers are through to the Scottish Cup final

0:01:560:01:58

after beating their arch rivals Celtic on penalties.

0:01:580:02:02

The match finished 2-2 after extra time with this equaliser from Celtic

0:02:020:02:05

taking the game to spot kicks.

0:02:050:02:09

In a thrilling penalty shoot-out, it all came down to this kick

0:02:090:02:12

from Celtic's Tom Rogic.

0:02:120:02:15

His miss saw Rangers through to the final

0:02:150:02:17

where they'll face Hibernian.

0:02:170:02:20

Here's an update on one of our favourite stories.

0:02:200:02:23

Voting has closed in the competition to name an important research trip.

0:02:230:02:26

And, as expected, Boaty McBoatface has been overwhelmingly chosen

0:02:260:02:29

as the most popular name!

0:02:290:02:32

But it might still get called something more sensible.

0:02:320:02:36

According to competition rules, the organisation behind the ship

0:02:360:02:38

get the final decision on the choice of name.

0:02:380:02:44

Over the weekend, an inflatable space pod was attached

0:02:440:02:46

to the International Space Station.

0:02:460:02:48

It's designed to give more room for astronauts living in space

0:02:480:02:51

and if successful could be used for future trips to Mars.

0:02:510:02:58

This is the moment the first inflatable pod was attached to the

0:03:030:03:05

International Space Station.

0:03:050:03:11

It was sent up to the ISS on board a rocket last week.

0:03:110:03:16

Over the weekend, mission control at Houston in the US used a

0:03:160:03:19

robotic arm to attach the pod to the station.

0:03:190:03:24

It will stay up there for the next two years.

0:03:240:03:27

Tests will be carried out to make sure it is safe

0:03:270:03:30

and can cope with things like cosmic radiation and space debris.

0:03:300:03:33

It is possible this could one day host

0:03:330:03:36

astronauts, researchers, and even space tourists in future.

0:03:360:03:45

Over the last six days British swimmers have been competing

0:03:450:03:47

for the chance to race at this summer's Olympic Games in Brazil.

0:03:470:03:50

Eight swam quick enough to be chosen automatically,

0:03:500:03:52

whilst around 20 others face a nervous wait to find out

0:03:520:03:55

if they've done enough to make the team, which is

0:03:550:03:57

revealed later this week.

0:03:570:03:58

BBC Olympic sports reporter Nick Hope has been

0:03:580:04:00

following the action.

0:04:000:04:01

Hi, Newsround.

0:04:010:04:02

It's been a pretty exciting week of swimming here in Glasgow,

0:04:020:04:05

and a dream finally came true for Welsh gold medallist

0:04:050:04:07

Jazmin Carlin.

0:04:070:04:10

She always swims with a picture of a princess on her hat,

0:04:100:04:13

and after winning three events she will be going to the Olympics

0:04:130:04:15

this summer, four years after missing the last Olympics

0:04:150:04:17

because she was ill.

0:04:170:04:18

I absolutely can't believe it!

0:04:180:04:20

It means so much to me.

0:04:200:04:24

I've had so much support from everyone this week that

0:04:240:04:29

really spurred me along.

0:04:290:04:31

I've been a recluse, moody, emotional, all sorts,

0:04:310:04:32

and just to come away at the time on my last swim, had

0:04:320:04:36

to be the last swim that I did it, but, yeah,

0:04:360:04:38

just a massive relief.

0:04:380:04:39

Adam Peaty is one of Britain's best swimmers and his 100m breaststroke

0:04:390:04:42

swim was one of the most impressive swims of the week.

0:04:420:04:45

As was Andrew Willis' in the 200m event.

0:04:450:04:48

James Guy is another to look out for this summer.

0:04:480:04:51

He won three gold medals at the Olympic trials, while

0:04:510:04:54

Siobhan-Marie O'Connor also dazzled.

0:04:540:04:56

One of the best things about this event has been the number of rising

0:04:560:05:00

stars who have proved they have what it takes to be champions.

0:05:000:05:03

Amongst the several teenagers who impressed were 18-year-old

0:05:030:05:06

Chloe Tutton, Duncan Scott, and Tim Shuttleworth.

0:05:060:05:09

Tim stunned his rivals to win the exhausting

0:05:090:05:11

1500m freestyle final, a race that took nearly 15

0:05:110:05:14

minutes to complete.

0:05:140:05:16

Can you quite believe what you have just achieved out there?

0:05:160:05:19

No, it is an unbelievable feeling, I can't even describe it.

0:05:190:05:21

Just unbelievable, literally.

0:05:210:05:24

I've got no words!

0:05:240:05:28

Literally, you dream of this moment to go to the Olympic Games,

0:05:280:05:31

so it is unbelievable.

0:05:310:05:32

So, eight swimmers know they are going to the Olympics

0:05:320:05:35

but many more have the chance of being selected.

0:05:350:05:37

The full team will be revealed on Thursday.

0:05:370:05:42

Before we go, there's just time to show you these kids' incredible

0:05:420:05:45

cup stacking skills.

0:05:450:05:46

Sport stacking is when competitors race to stack a set of plastic cups

0:05:460:05:49

in as little time as possible.

0:05:490:05:52

These kids in Taiwan have just won eleven gold medals at

0:05:520:05:54

the World Championships in Germany.

0:05:540:05:55

Just look at them go!

0:05:550:05:57

That's all from me this morning.

0:05:570:05:58

Newsround's back at 4:20.
