Good morning, guys. It's Wednesday, I'm Ayshah and here's just some of

:00:00.:00:08.

the amazing stuff on the way on Newsround.

:00:09.:00:10.

The massive whale fossil mystery solved.

:00:11.:00:13.

The lucky people who found a multi-million pound treasure trove.

:00:14.:00:22.

Keep watching. US President Barack Obama says he is

:00:23.:00:24.

now making plans to withdraw all American forces from Afghanistan by

:00:25.:00:31.

the end of 2014. Most foreign forces were expected to leave this year -

:00:32.:00:35.

but there was a plan to keep a small number of US soldiers in the country

:00:36.:00:39.

to keep the peace and continue working with local troops. Obama

:00:40.:00:42.

wants Afghan president Hamid Karzai to sign a security agreement to give

:00:43.:00:46.

American soldiers legal protection. But Karzai won't sign that deal.

:00:47.:00:51.

Foreign troops have been in the country since 2001, when a group

:00:52.:00:54.

called the Taliban were overthrown from power.

:00:55.:01:02.

Next, scientists believe they've solved the mystery of one of the

:01:03.:01:05.

most astonishing fossil discoveries in recent years - a huge graveyard

:01:06.:01:09.

of whales found in Chile in South America. The fossils were found in

:01:10.:01:12.

the Atacama Desert in 2011. Experts think the massive find was the

:01:13.:01:15.

result of big groups of whales getting stranded on four separate

:01:16.:01:18.

occasions more than five million years ago. It's thought they were

:01:19.:01:21.

all poisoned at around the same time, after swallowing toxic algae.

:01:22.:01:28.

Bitoins - the virtual currency that exists online - has seen a massive

:01:29.:01:32.

drop in its value. It comes after one of the biggest Bitcoin exchanges

:01:33.:01:36.

- where you can buy the currency - unexpectedly went offline yesterday.

:01:37.:01:40.

One Bitcoin is now worth around 315 pounds - drastically less than the

:01:41.:01:46.

peak of nearly ?700 in December. And if you're not sure what Bitcoins are

:01:47.:01:50.

- head to our website now for a guide on how it all works.

:01:51.:01:55.

Next, if you thought your footy team was bad then take a look at this.

:01:56.:01:59.

Tunstall Town, a small team in the Staffordshire County's Division Two,

:02:00.:02:03.

had lost 171 games in a row and been called the worst side ever. But last

:02:04.:02:07.

weekend they managed their first win in nearly six and a half years.

:02:08.:02:17.

Here's Nel with more. Four foot ball fans is no better feeling than

:02:18.:02:22.

watching your side win. But the supporters of Tunstall town have had

:02:23.:02:28.

no celebrations for almost six and a half years. The last time the team

:02:29.:02:34.

it up points boards back in 2007. Little did they know they would have

:02:35.:02:39.

a weight of six years and four months before they would taste a win

:02:40.:02:47.

again. That is over 3 million foot volley minutes. That is a lot. But

:02:48.:02:55.

on Saturday they beat Beckley reserves. For me it was better than

:02:56.:03:02.

winning the World Cup, the FA Cup, the Premier League, all rolled into

:03:03.:03:07.

one. The euphoria you get from winning is great. But after so long,

:03:08.:03:14.

legendary. 17-year-old Adam was the hero, grabbing the winner and

:03:15.:03:20.

rewriting the history books of the club. We got a few games that were

:03:21.:03:30.

winnable. Now the team have that winning feeling, maybe a push for

:03:31.:03:36.

promotion is on the cards! OK, maybe not. But they will at least be

:03:37.:03:42.

hoping it is not another six years before their next win. Aw, they give

:03:43.:03:46.

hope to everyone, particularly Man United this morning, who suffered

:03:47.:03:49.

yet another defeat last night in the Champions League last 16.

:03:50.:03:52.

They went down 2-nil in the first leg of their match with Greek

:03:53.:03:55.

Champions Olympiakos, a team considered the weakest left in the

:03:56.:04:01.

competition. I am just surprised I did not see that level of

:04:02.:04:06.

performance coming. We did not play well tonight. We have to play

:04:07.:04:09.

better. And finding buried treasure is

:04:10.:04:12.

something we all dream about, but for a very lucky couple in America

:04:13.:04:15.

that dream came true. They discovered hundreds of gold coins,

:04:16.:04:18.

dating from the 1800s, while walking near their home in California. The

:04:19.:04:22.

coins were found in some old rusty metal tins and are worth an

:04:23.:04:25.

estimated ten million dollars. They originate from the gold rush period,

:04:26.:04:29.

when tens of thousands of people travelled to California in search of

:04:30.:04:39.

wealth. We're back right here in half an

:04:40.:04:42.

hour with some interesting One Direction news so join us then for

:04:43.:04:47.

that. Last up, if you've ever wondered why we don't sit on

:04:48.:04:50.

adjustable chairs here on Newsround then here's why. This BBC reporter

:04:51.:04:54.

got a sinking feeling during live on telly because of a camera fault! The

:04:55.:04:58.

clip's become a big hit online. I'm just glad that kind of thing doesn't

:04:59.:05:02.

happen here! We are

:05:03.:05:04.
