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. | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
Don't forget to check out the quiz of the week | :05:58. | :05:58. |
