Hi, I'm Leah, with your Saturday morning Newsround.

It's The Voice final this weekend, and we've got the lowdown for you.

First up, we're talking tennis. Britain's Johanna Konta will be

hoping to continue her winning streak when she faces

Caroline Wozniacki later in the women's final at the Miami

She beat Venus Williams to become the first British woman to ever

reach the finals of the competition, and has worked hard

Most important will probably be to enjoy the occasion a little bit

more. It's a great tournament to be a part of an told the very end. And

it's something we will work very hard for, to get opportunities like

these. I get to play against an incredibly tough opponent, somebody

who has been at the top of the game for so long now. Just overall having

good enjoyment for the challenges and what for,. -- what will come.

There's little under half an hour until the only lunchtime kick-off

in the Premier League, where Liverpool host

Liverpool will be without Jordan Henderson and Adam Lallana

But it won't be an easy one for the Reds -

Everton have lost just once in their past 12 league matches.

Now to Australia, where officials say there could be more flooding

in two states after a powerful cyclone hit the northeastern coast

Rising rivers are causing authorities to order more people

who live in areas like Queensland and New South Wales

More than 100,000 homes were left without power.

Over the last seven years, the number of the animals

in the wild has dropped by a third because of poaching.

And it's all because their tusks are made of ivory.

Thousands of shops across China sell ornaments like this,

which are made out of ivory. It's big business here, and

the items are worth a lot of money. Ivory comes from the tusks

of elephants, and in Africa, many of the animals are illegally

Pressure has been put on China for years to end its part

And today, almost half the factories and shops that sell ivory in China

And the rest will be closed by the end of the year.

China is the country with the world's largest ivory market.

That's where we see the greatest demand.

So this change is going make a real difference for African elephants,

because if we can reduce that demand, all law abiding citizens

This move won't totally end the problem, as lots of ivory

is bought and sold illegally, which is much harder to stop.

But conservationists are glad that China is closing its ivory shops,

and hopes it will mean less is bought and sold in the country,

saving the lives of thousands of elephants.

If you want any more information on the ivory

trade or animal poaching, then head online and

Next, for almost three months we've been watching singers battle it out

to be crowned the winner of The Voice UK.

Tonight, four finalists will be on that stage

Ricky's been checking out the competition.

The Voice - it may have switched channels, but that hasn't stopped

This year, new coaches were thrown into the mix.

Jennifer Hudson, Tom came back, and this guy - Gavin Rossdale.

Poor thing, he's the only one without a contestant

Tom Jones has this duo, called In The Ark.

And Michelle will be singing her heart out for Will-i-am.

So, can the sixth series of The Voice deliver a superstar?

Recognise any of these previous winners?

This year, ITV say they're doing things a bit differently.

The winner won't release a new single straight away.

Instead, a recording of their final performance will be available

Then whoever wins the public vote will head into the studio to work

with top producers and release an album a few weeks later.

Next to Hong Kong, in Asia, where the 7th International Pillow

Fight has been held. People got stuck in,

and it seems this minion got rather a lot of attention!

The event is held in different cities every year,

and the organisers say it's a good way to let off steam and bring

And finally, keep your eyes peeled today because you might notice

some strange stories, like this one.

The past winter, one of the mildest in living memory, has had its effect

in other ways as well. Most important of all, it has resulted in

an exceptionally heavy spaghetti crop.

Back in the 1950s, the BBC ran this story

about spaghetti growing on trees - but it was completely made up!

It was all a big hoax for April Fool's Day,
