Hi, I'm Leah with your morning Newsround. On today's show: And we

check out the dancing flight attendants in China.

And yes, these are some skiing cowboys. Keep watching Newsround.

First, a major international meeting to try and sort out a peace

agreement in Syria is back on after it was nearly cancelled. Civil war

has been raging in Syria for nearly three years between government

forces and the people who want them out of power. Syrian opposition

groups had threatened to pull out of the talks after the head of the

United Nations invited Iran to join in. Iran supports the Syrian leader

President Assad. Now, the UN has withdrawn Iran's invitation, so the

talks should still go ahead tomorrow.

Yesterday we told you about an attempt to wake a sleeping

spacecraft ahead of a daring mission to land on a speeding comet.

Scientists faced a nervous wait to see if it worked. Well, yes, it woke

up. It sent back a simple message saying, "Hello, World". So now it is

ready to speed off for an encounter with a rocky ice-ball, to try and

find out how water came to our planet.

We could definitely see the signal, it is up there. You can see it on

the screen. It is a big success for everybody. Now it is up to us to

drive it to be cobbled. -- the comet.

Toys - you probably can't get enough of them, but last year the number of

toys sold in the UK went down. So, what are toymakers doing to turn

things around this year? Well, BBC business reporter Steph McGovern is

at a huge toy fair in London and might be able to shed some light on

it. She sent us this report this morning.

Welcome to the UK's biggest toy fair. There are 280 companies with

all of their products here. We sold about 364 billion toys last year,

which works out at about 38 toys for every single child in the country.

But can you believe we are not spending as much money as we have

done in the past, and it is because we are not spending money on what we

call "pocket money toys", things worth less than ?5. We are saving up

our money and spending them on bigger toys like the one behind me.

Have a look at this doll. She talks and you can ask her questions. What

is the BBC? Hmm. That is a tough one. I don't know. But I would like

another chance. As you can see there are tonnes of different toys here,

cars, pianos that make music, raspberry outfits you can dress up

in, and it certainly is full of lots of different toys. They hope this

will help the industry to do better this year.

And we want to know what you think about this. Here is what you have

been saying. Thank you for all of those comments,

keep them coming. In tennis, 19-year-old Eugenie

Buchard is through to the semifinal of the Australian Open after pulling

off an unlikely victory. Buchard won against Ana Ivanovic in a three-set

thriller and will now face Li Na in the semis. The teenager is the first

Canadian to get to this stage in the Open.

Reigning men's champion Novak Djokovic is due on court in a few

minutes' time for his quarterfinal against Stanislas Wawrinka. The

winner of that match will play Czech Republic's Tomas Berdych, after he

beat David Ferrer just a few minutes ago, fighting off a comeback from

the Spaniard to win in four sets. Jamaica's bobsleigh team have

qualified for a place at the Sochi Games next month. The sun-kissed

Caribbean country first competed in Olympic bobsledding in 1988 but

crashed out on their final run. It later inspired a movie called Cool

Runnings. It will be the third Winter Games for Jamaica.

Last up, something you definitely don't see every day... Dancing air

crews! That's right. These flight attendants at Shanghai Airport took

holiday entertainment to a whole new level when they decided to surprise

travellers by busting some hip hop moves in the terminal to celebrate

Chinese New Year. You are unlikely to find cowboys on

ski slopes, right? You do in Colorado in America. Over 100 after

the slopes. They had to race down the gates and even survived a few

jumps, too. By the look of things, they handled it pretty well.

These are is back later this afternoon,
