for tomorrow's much of the day Kickabout, we will tell us

:00:00.:00:00.

everything we need to know about the transfer window. On the brekkie menu

:00:00.:00:10.

this Friday - We find out how Britain's first astronaut is

:00:11.:00:13.

preparing for space. And the seriously extreme moves from the X

:00:14.:00:14.

Games. First this morning, members of the

:00:15.:00:26.

Syrian government and the opposition, who want them out of

:00:27.:00:29.

power, will meet face to face for the first time today, to try and

:00:30.:00:33.

reach a peace agreement. The war in Syria's been raging for three years

:00:34.:00:37.

now and has killed over 100,000 people. The peace talks began in

:00:38.:00:40.

Geneva in Switzerland on Wednesday, but so far there have been angry

:00:41.:00:43.

speeches and accusations from both sides that the other side caused the

:00:44.:00:45.

conflict. For lots of you it's the ultimate

:00:46.:00:58.

job - becoming an astronaut. Well, for Major Tim Peake, his dream will

:00:59.:01:02.

soon become a reality. Major Tim is Britain's first official astronaut,

:01:03.:01:04.

and he's training now for his mission to the International Space

:01:05.:01:06.

Station next year. Good luck. We all know what money

:01:07.:01:39.

looks and feels like - but could all that be about to change? Bitcoin is

:01:40.:01:43.

a form of digital money that adults can buy online, and it's causing a

:01:44.:01:47.

big fuss in the technology world. So what is it, and is it the future?

:01:48.:01:53.

Ayshah has been finding out. You won't need to keep them in a

:01:54.:01:58.

purse or a piggybank. We are talking about bitcoin. It is a type of

:01:59.:02:05.

money. What makes it different is it does not look like these or these.

:02:06.:02:10.

Instead, bitcoin is a sequence of numbers and letters created by

:02:11.:02:15.

computer. The easiest way to get hold of these special sequences is

:02:16.:02:22.

to buy them online. You can use them when shopping on some websites and

:02:23.:02:26.

in places like this cafe in east London. The customer would comment

:02:27.:02:32.

to the shop. They would choose something. We would put the amount

:02:33.:02:36.

into our phone. That would generate a cold, which you would scan and it

:02:37.:02:42.

would be deducted from your account. Why not stick to the money we're to?

:02:43.:02:47.

No bitcoin is money you can use anywhere, all around the world

:02:48.:02:57.

without having to pay the cost. When you find somebody who will accept

:02:58.:03:00.

it, it is simple. Not everybody agrees that bitcoin is a good idea.

:03:01.:03:05.

Some people are worried that if your computer or smartphone gets hacked,

:03:06.:03:10.

your bitcoin could be stolen. Customers who use it already say it

:03:11.:03:14.

is designed to be safe and secure. The big problem is that they cannot

:03:15.:03:19.

use bitcoin in many places yet. But more online shops are planning to

:03:20.:03:23.

use them. Whether it is bitcoin or another form of digital money, it

:03:24.:03:27.

looks like we would be hearing a lot more about it. One day we could be

:03:28.:03:30.

saying goodbye to cash like this. In about an hour, we'll see two of

:03:31.:03:34.

the all-time greats in men's tennis - Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer -

:03:35.:03:38.

do battle at the Australian Open tennis in Melbourne. Between them,

:03:39.:03:40.

they've won 30 Grand Slam singles titles. The winner will face

:03:41.:03:45.

Stanislas Wawrinka, in the Men's Singles Final. This is their first

:03:46.:03:49.

in a Grand Slam, since the Aussie semi-finals of two years ago.

:03:50.:03:58.

He has been tough to play against, no doubt. I am happy to get the

:03:59.:04:02.

chance to play him in a Grand Slam again. I don't remember the last

:04:03.:04:08.

time. The head-to-head record is in his favour. I am looking forward to

:04:09.:04:17.

hearing what the boys have two say and then we will prepare. I hope to

:04:18.:04:21.

get a win. Now we're used to see this guy on

:04:22.:04:25.

stage performing One Direction's hits. But next month we'll be seeing

:04:26.:04:29.

Louis from 1D swapping his mic for his footy boots. - he's set to make

:04:30.:04:32.

his debut for Championship side Doncaster Rovers. Next up, here's a

:04:33.:04:43.

sport you definitely won't see at the Sochi Winter Olympics. This is

:04:44.:04:47.

Colten Moore from the US. He's just won gold at the X Games in Colorado

:04:48.:04:51.

for his daredevil moves in the Snowmobile Freestyle Competition.

:04:52.:04:53.

Colten had to perform a series of stunts like this backflip to take

:04:54.:04:59.

the top prize. That's all from me - I'm back in about half an hour.

:05:00.:05:01.
