You're with Newsround this Saturday lunchtime.

:00:00.:00:00.

Coming your way: Tim Peake needs help with an experiment.

:00:00.:00:12.

And we'll be speaking to a polar adventurer about his epic trip.

:00:13.:00:27.

First this afternoon, there's been a massive upset

:00:28.:00:34.

in the Australian Open Women's Final.

:00:35.:00:35.

Germany's Angelique Kerber has beaten world number one

:00:36.:00:37.

Serena Williams to win her very first Grand Slam.

:00:38.:00:41.

Serena, who has 21 Grand Slam titles, was trying to make history

:00:42.:00:44.

There's been success too for Scotland's Gordon Reid.

:00:45.:00:51.

He won the men's wheelchair singles competition.

:00:52.:00:54.

And there's the possibility of even more British success this weekend

:00:55.:01:01.

with Jamie and Andy Murray both through to finals.

:01:02.:01:04.

Jamie is playing in the final of the men's doubles.

:01:05.:01:06.

Andy will be playing against world number one

:01:07.:01:08.

I have a very good shot on Sunday if I play my best tennis.

:01:09.:01:19.

I think many people are expecting me to win.

:01:20.:01:21.

I have to just believe in myself, have a solid game plan,

:01:22.:01:24.

and hopefully execute it and play well.

:01:25.:01:32.

There's a new theory about how our planet was formed.

:01:33.:01:35.

Scientists in California say that Earth is made up of two planets that

:01:36.:01:41.

The impact between Earth and a baby planet called Theia was so strong,

:01:42.:01:47.

Researchers say a chunk of that was knocked off

:01:48.:01:51.

Next, British Astronaut Tim Peake is getting stuck into lots

:01:52.:01:58.

of science experiments up on the International Space Station.

:01:59.:02:01.

He's taken more than a million seeds of rocket -

:02:02.:02:03.

that you normally eat in a salad - up to space with him.

:02:04.:02:07.

The aim is to get thousands of children involved in a big

:02:08.:02:12.

experiment to help find ways to grow food in space,

:02:13.:02:21.

which humans will need if they ever travel to distant planets.

:02:22.:02:23.

Now that these seeds have been on the International Space Station,

:02:24.:02:26.

I'll be packing them up at the end of their mission,

:02:27.:02:29.

sending them back to Earth, and when they arrive they'll be sent

:02:30.:02:31.

out to thousands of schools to grow alongside seeds that haven't been up

:02:32.:02:35.

here as part of our science experiment.

:02:36.:02:36.

Those schools will then note the difference between those seeds

:02:37.:02:39.

that have been flown in space and those that have remained

:02:40.:02:43.

It's FA Cup weekend with lots of teams competing

:02:44.:02:46.

It's FA Cup weekend with lots of teams competing

:02:47.:02:50.

Manchester United are already through after beating

:02:51.:02:53.

Manager Louis Van Gaal says his team have got their confidence back.

:02:54.:02:57.

For you, it's obvious they had more freedom.

:02:58.:02:59.

No, I'm sorry, it's the same philosophy, the same training

:03:00.:03:01.

sessions, the past three days, and I give my players,

:03:02.:03:03.

This weekend lots of you might be helping to spot birds

:03:04.:03:18.

Around 500,000 people will be helping the RSPB's annual survey

:03:19.:03:22.

by counting birds to help researchers to learn more

:03:23.:03:24.

Next to a story of great personal achievement.

:03:25.:03:36.

LukeRoberston from Edinburgh has become the youngest British person

:03:37.:03:38.

and the first Scottish person to complete a solo,

:03:39.:03:42.

unassisted and unsupported, expedition to the South Pole.

:03:43.:03:44.

That means he did it all by himself without any support.

:03:45.:03:47.

He had to deal with some pretty difficult challenges including

:03:48.:03:51.

And I'm pleased to say that he joins us now.

:03:52.:03:58.

Thanks for joining us. I wanted to ask you and ensure a lot of kids

:03:59.:04:04.

will want to know, too, why did you do it in the first place? The

:04:05.:04:09.

variety of reasons. I had been inspired by 20th century explorers

:04:10.:04:17.

and recent explorers and I have also had challenges like I've had an

:04:18.:04:22.

artificial pacemaker and I had brain surgery a few months ago. I want to

:04:23.:04:29.

inspire the younger generation to get outside their tents and see how

:04:30.:04:33.

far they can go. You set off in December and got back in the middle

:04:34.:04:37.

of January. What was the most difficult challenge? I can see you

:04:38.:04:40.

got something cleaner the end of your nose and a plaster on your

:04:41.:04:44.

thumb. Explain to us what's going on there. The weather conditions are

:04:45.:04:49.

pretty harsh so there was a lot of wind and snow and caused me to catch

:04:50.:04:54.

a little bit of frostbite on the end of my nose piquancy to the oval but

:04:55.:04:59.

black and green. That will fall off, not my nose, just

:05:00.:05:01.

black and green. That will fall off, should be all good soon.

:05:02.:05:04.

black and green. That will fall off, anticipate would be that difficult

:05:05.:05:10.

and you would sustain injuries? I did a lot of training and research

:05:11.:05:14.

for its way expected to be difficult did a lot of training and research

:05:15.:05:19.

but it was so-called, -65 Celsius at one stage close to the south Pole so

:05:20.:05:27.

very exciting but quite so. I must have been interesting celebrating

:05:28.:05:33.

Christmas out there. It was a waitress miss so I celebrated by

:05:34.:05:39.

skiing 18 miles. -- a white Christmas. One I will never forget.

:05:40.:05:46.

Thank you for coming in to talk to us. What was the first thing you did

:05:47.:05:52.

when you got back? I ate pizza and jellybeans!

:05:53.:05:53.

Newsround's back at 1:45pm with lots more of the day's top stories.
