Happy Saturday, everyone!

0:00:050:00:07

Leah here today, with Newsround live on CBBC.

0:00:070:00:09

Coming up:

0:00:090:00:09

Amazing explosions at sea.

0:00:090:00:10

And what happens when Stormtroopers go surfing.

0:00:100:00:19

But first, straight to some Davis Cup action

0:00:240:00:27

because Andy Murray and his brother Jamie are just minutes away

0:00:270:00:30

from facing Belgium in the doubles.

0:00:300:00:31

The pair will aim to put Britain 2-1 up in the best-of-five tie

0:00:310:00:35

and Andy's feeling pretty confident about the competition.

0:00:350:00:41

The doubles in Davis cup is always tough, never

0:00:410:00:43

easy, just because of the way that doubles is played and can be...you

0:00:430:00:47

know...

0:00:470:00:52

So, I believe we can win the tie.

0:00:520:00:57

But what is it like being part of one

0:00:580:01:01

of tennis's most famous families?

0:01:010:01:02

We sent some of your questions to the brothers.

0:01:020:01:05

These questions are from Fox Primary School.

0:01:070:01:09

This one is from Leonardo.

0:01:090:01:13

My favourite part of being a tennis player is getting

0:01:140:01:17

to play high-level sport.

0:01:170:01:19

Getting to travel the world,

0:01:190:01:20

playing against the best players in the world, in some of

0:01:200:01:23

the biggest stadiums in the world.

0:01:230:01:28

For me, that's what's exciting, that's what gets me out of bed

0:01:280:01:31

in the morning.

0:01:310:01:32

This is from Scarlett.

0:01:320:01:34

We don't really compete against each other,

0:01:340:01:36

because I'm playing singles and when I do play doubles, hopefully I'm

0:01:360:01:39

always on the same side of the net as Jamie, so we don't really

0:01:390:01:42

compete with each other any more.

0:01:420:01:44

This is from Jack and Leah.

0:01:440:01:49

About 800 professional matches. In my career and in singles,

0:01:490:01:56

I've won about 550 of them, so far.

0:01:560:02:05

This one is from Aaron.

0:02:060:02:10

Weird. It's really weird.

0:02:120:02:14

I wouldn't recommend it, really.

0:02:140:02:17

Cos the first time we really had to do it

0:02:170:02:19

in a professional level,

0:02:190:02:21

I just tried to focus on the ball, and not look at who was

0:02:210:02:24

down the other end of the court, because it was a bit awkward.

0:02:240:02:27

Intimidating? Intimidating, perhaps.

0:02:270:02:28

Awkward, more likely.

0:02:280:02:30

THEY LAUGH

0:02:300:02:35

Forget Black Friday, Nasa have been celebrating Black Hole Friday!

0:02:360:02:38

The space agency was busy sharing lots of images and videos

0:02:380:02:41

of black holes on social media.

0:02:410:02:45

They say that a black hole is a place in space where the pull

0:02:450:02:49

of gravity is so strong that it starts to drag things nearby towards

0:02:490:02:52

it and into it.

0:02:520:02:53

This video is extra special.

0:02:530:02:54

It shows two black holes merging in to one in an event which Nasa

0:02:540:02:59

describes as a "death spiral."

0:02:590:03:02

Star Wars Stormtroopers have been spotted surfing the River Severn.

0:03:020:03:05

The soldiers of the Galactic Empire took a break from life on the

0:03:050:03:09

Death Star to ride the waves in a drizzly Gloucestershire.

0:03:090:03:12

The area of the River Severn they were surfing is popular with surfers

0:03:120:03:15

because waves surge up the estuary caused by the incoming tide.

0:03:150:03:20

It looks like Japan will start hunting whales

0:03:240:03:26

in the Antarctic again.

0:03:260:03:28

The country had stopped whaling for more than a year

0:03:280:03:30

after an international court told them not to.

0:03:300:03:32

But now the decision to start again has angered governments and

0:03:320:03:35

environmentalists across the world.

0:03:350:03:37

Four ships leave the port in Japan, to search for whales.

0:03:430:03:48

Last year the country was told to stop whaling in the Antarctic by

0:03:480:03:51

the International Court of Justice.

0:03:510:03:56

Despite the orders, Japan are making plans to hunt and kill whales there.

0:03:560:03:59

Japan say they hunt whales to find out more about them for scientific

0:03:590:04:02

research, but environmental campaigners believe they're being

0:04:020:04:04

hunted for their meat.

0:04:040:04:07

Many people in Japan like to eat whale - it's been a tradition

0:04:070:04:10

for hundreds of years and people who sell it can make lots of money.

0:04:100:04:14

The country's decision has angered governments around the world,

0:04:140:04:16

who say you do not need to kill whales to learn about them.

0:04:160:04:19

But right now that's not enough to make Japan change its mind.

0:04:190:04:24

It's time to get festive now.

0:04:250:04:28

With less than a month to Christmas, how long until the tree goes up

0:04:280:04:31

at your house?

0:04:310:04:32

Well, the US President's wife, Michelle Obama,

0:04:320:04:35

welcomed this year's White House Christmas tree, which was delivered

0:04:350:04:38

by a horse-drawn carriage.

0:04:380:04:39

The First Lady was joined by White House dogs Bo and Sunny.

0:04:390:04:44

Keeping with the winter theme, if you love ice skating then you

0:04:460:04:49

might like the look of this:

0:04:490:04:50

This ice rink opened on Friday in Moscow and it is pretty big -

0:04:500:04:54

20,000 square metres, in fact.

0:04:540:04:55

Organisers say it's the largest rink in the world.

0:04:550:04:57

It opened with performances by more than 150 actors and Olympic

0:04:570:05:00

skating champions.

0:05:000:05:05

Now, out to sea where a Royal Navy bomb disposal team carried out

0:05:060:05:10

a controlled explosion on a World War II mine off the Isle of Wight.

0:05:100:05:18

The explosion created a plume of water about 300 metres high.

0:05:180:05:23

It was towed out to sea to be detonated.

0:05:230:05:25

It's thought the mine was dropped from a German

0:05:250:05:27

aircraft more than 70 years ago.

0:05:270:05:33

And just enough time for not one but two panda stories.

0:05:360:05:39

First these twin giant panda cubs, who were born

0:05:390:05:41

at Toronto Zoo six weeks ago, are doing brilliantly after there

0:05:410:05:44

was concern about their weight.

0:05:440:05:45

They're now enjoying a diet of bamboo and milk.

0:05:450:05:47

And the world's second oldest panda has celebrated her 35th birthday

0:05:470:05:50

in China.

0:05:500:05:50

Basi, who is over 100 in human years, wore a crown and enjoyed

0:05:500:05:53

a specially-made birthday cake.

0:05:530:05:55

That's all from me and the Newsround team.

0:05:550:05:57

We're back tomorrow.

0:05:570:05:58

Have a great day and remember to check out our website.
