Hi, I'm Martin and this is Newsround.

Coming up in the next few minutes...

I'm in London where a massive decision has been made

about how the UK will leave the European Union.

This year's Oscar nominations are revealed.

And the miraculous birth of this baby bat.

First up, there's been a really important decision about how the UK

will leave a club of countries called the European Union.

Jenny is live in London for us.

Jenny, what's been going on there?

Hello, I'm outside the Supreme Court, the most important

court in the country.

This morning, 11 judges who work here made a massive decision

about something you might have heard mentioned a lot recently - Brexit.

Today this area has been full of TV cameras,

journalists and lawyers.

There have big crowds of people here too.

That's because this is a topic people feel really strongly about.

So, what's the decision and why is it so important?

Watch this.

Six months ago the UK voted to leave the EU.

How this will happen has been argued over ever since.

So the Supreme Court - where the most important

judges in Britain sit - was asked to make a decision.

About who decides to tell the European Union

that the UK is leaving.

So, Britain is going to tell the EU it's leaving by using

something called Article 50.

And the Prime Minister Theresa May thought it should be the UK

government's decision about when to use it.

But others thought that Parliament - where MPs make and vote on laws -

should do it instead.

And the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish governments also

thought they should have their say.

The Supreme Court has now said that it's just the UK Parliament

which gets to decide about Article 50.

So now all MPs get to vote on it - they are expected to decide

that the UK should start saying goodbye to the European Union.

Theresa May wants that to happen by the end of March.

And don't forget there's loads more info about what leaving

the European Union could mean for the UK and how

it's going to happen.

and phrases everyone seems to be using!

Next up, and it's that time again in the world of film -

Oscar nominations are out and everyone will be hoping

to win one of these.

Kubo and the Two Strings is one of the films up

for Best Animated Feature as well as Moana and Zootropolis.

The winners will be revealed at a ceremony in February.

Meet Alice - she's 15 and has trouble seeing,

but now her life has been transformed by Billy,

her very own guide dog.

She's one of the youngest people in the country to be given one.

Here's their story.

It's the new term and there's a new face at this high school

in Nottinghamshire - a very furry one.

Billy the Labrador is just one of around 50 expert pups helping

to guide blind children or those who have problems with

therir sight in England.

I think it's good because I don't have to constantly have

people watching me.

He gives me a bit more freedom.

In the past, guide dogs weren't paired with children

as they were thought to be too much of a responsibility

for a young person.

But now, the rules have changed.

The amount of work you have to do with him and the

responsibility is overwhelming.

But if you put the work in, you get the results out of it.

These two have been together since October

and are getting on just fine.

Having Billy in school just allows her to gain that

independence, build resilience, confidence, and go

through her school life as every other child would.

The school had to create a quiet area for Billy to rest

in and somewhere for him to walk.

And he's been a big hit with the rest of the pupils too.

He's a bit of a poser.

They did say the novelty will wear off but everybody still loves him.

You might have heard of a smart car but this

is a pretty smart bus, it drives itself!

It's just been launched in France.

It will go between two train stations to start.

It'll carry six people at a time and uses sensors to figure

out its surroundings.

Finally, zoo keepers at San Diego Safari Park

are celebrating the arrival of this baby fruit bat.

His mother had problems giving birth, and staff needed to perform

an emergency operation to save him.

The surgery had never been done on a fruit bat before.

That's all from me.

Newsround's back with loads more great stories from

7:40am tomorrow morning.
