This is your weekend Newsround, with me, Ricky. It's coming up to midday. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
On the way: Not breaking news, it's breaking tiles: find out which world | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
record this woman is trying to smash! | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
And EWE will find out why these sheep baa-rged their way into one of | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
the world's most famous museums. But first to a big change to the law | :00:18. | :00:28. | |
in England and Wales that came in overnight: same-sex couples are now | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
allowed to get married. Martin has been looking into the change, which | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
has sparked some strong views from people on both sides of the | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
argument. I am now very happy to announce that | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
you are now legally... Just after midnight these people were | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
celebrating getting married. Up until now, two men or two women were | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
not allowed to marry each other - but now the law has changed. But | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
while there were celebrations for those getting married, not everyone | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
is happy with the change. Those against it, including many religious | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
groups, say that marriage has been between a man and a woman for | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
hundreds of years and it shouldn't be altered. Up until today same-sex | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
couples could only have a civil partnership, which gives similar | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
rights but isn't exactly the same rights as marriage. Despite the | :01:14. | :01:21. | |
change in the law, it will be up to individual religious organisations | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
to choose whether or not they want to hold ceremonies for gay people. | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
Some, like the Church of England and the Roman Catholic Church, said they | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
will not marry gay couples. Attitudes to gay people vary across | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
the world: 16 countries currently allow same-sex marriage, but in | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
others, such as Iran and Nigeria, it's illegal for a man to have a | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
relationship with a man, or a woman with a woman. Scotland has also | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
passed a law making gay marriage legal but there are no plans to do | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
the same in Northern Ireland. Russian leader Vladimir Putin has | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
phoned US president Barack Obama to talk about ways to resolve the | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
Ukraine crisis. There has been a lot of unrest in Ukraine between people | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
in the country who support closer ties to Russia and those who don't. | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
Russian forces recently took control of Crimea, in southern Ukraine, | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
something Obama said was illegal. During the hour-long call, the two | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
leaders discussed the build-up of Russian troops on Ukraine's border. | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
Their foreign ministers will meet soon to discuss what to do next. | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
Now, earlier this morning, I told you about tae kwon do champion Lisa | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
Dennis. She was trying to break 1,000 of these tiles in 90 seconds | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
to set a new world record. So, did she do it? Well, let's find out. | :02:37. | :02:47. | |
Every week, Lisa's classes pack a punch. She has been coaching ITF tae | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
kwon do for years. She is world champion, and her partner Chris is | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
the men's world record holder. When it comes to high kicks and breaking | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
tiles, they're obviously good teachers, inspiring these pupils. | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
But on this special day, Lisa's students have come to support her in | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
this third attempt at a tile-smashing record, 1,000 tiles in | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
90 seconds, with the Guinness World Record adjudicator to do the | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
counting. For me here today, it's just seeing another woman using her | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
strength and her mind to actually do a very strong, physical and | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
dangerous attempt, really. I've got European championship titles. Being | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
a Guinness world record holder means everything to me, and I want to make | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
these guys proud. Finally, after three years of training, the wait is | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
over, and BBC Sport's Mike Bushell was standing by to commentate. We're | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
away, and suddenly the place erupts in noise as Lisa works her way down | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
the first row of tiles, getting into a rhythm, two hands, two hands. | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
She's getting through clean every time. Fantastic! I don't even | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
remember it. It's that indomitable spirit! I just don't know whether | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
it's enough, you know? I can now confirm that you broke the | :04:03. | :04:35. | |
thousandth tile. In 84 seconds! Yes! Definitely don't do that at home! | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
Sport, and in about 45 minutes Man United take on Aston Villa in the | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
Premier League's early kick-off. But the big focus could be on the air, | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
not on the pitch. That's because some United fans have hired a plane | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
to fly over Old Trafford towing a banner that says "Wrong one - Moyes | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
out". The fans involved say it's to protest against manager David Moyes, | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
who has overseen the club's worst ever Premier League season. Moyes | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
himself says most supporters are behind him. There has been great | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
support inside the ground. I'm witnessing great support from the | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
people I bump into outside the ground. The people who put me in | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
place in the job here are top football people who understand the | :05:10. | :05:10. | |
game. Arsenal take on title-chasing Man | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
City in the day's most high-profile game. The Gunners have dropped to | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
fourth place in recent weeks, but their manager says they could still | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
win the league. We have not given up, believe me. And I think | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
champions keep going when everybody else would give up. | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
Good news, Voice fans: BBC bosses have said the hit show will return | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
for another two series. They have just announced the plans ahead of | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
the live semifinals tonight for this year's contestants. Each artist will | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
perform one song before a group number with their team and superstar | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
coach. The audience decide who will make it through to the final. | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
And let's finish with something a bit baa-rmy: this was the scene as | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
12 sheep stormed into the famous Louvre museum in Paris, France. They | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
were taken in by farmers protesting against changes to farming rules. | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
Join me just before two o'clock, when we'll be meeting this amazing | :05:54. | :05:54. | |
bird beatboxer. | :05:55. | :05:58. |
