Hi, I'm Ricky, with your Monday morning Newsround.

0:00:040:00:09

Coming up on the show...

0:00:090:00:10

Why did the chimney cross the road?

0:00:100:00:12

Stay tuned to find out.

0:00:120:00:16

And the 11-year-old boy making a huge impact in the world of music.

0:00:160:00:26

But first, the winner of The Voice has been decided.

0:00:310:00:34

Turn down the volume now if you don't want to know.

0:00:340:00:38

Last night's final saw Tom Jones' act Into The Dark

0:00:380:00:47

and Jennifer Hudson's finalist Mo go head-to-head.

0:00:470:00:48

So, who came out on top?

0:00:480:00:50

Mo!

0:00:500:00:53

Mo, congratulations, you are the winner...

0:00:530:00:57

The 21-year-old will start work on a new album.

0:00:570:01:03

There was some drama earlier on the show when a fan invaded

0:01:030:01:06

the studio and got on the stage.

0:01:060:01:08

He was swiftly moved on.

0:01:080:01:11

OK, time for some sport now.

0:01:110:01:14

Celtic have won the Scottish Premiership title for a sixth year

0:01:140:01:16

in a row after thrashing Hearts 5-0.

0:01:160:01:18

The team have already won the Scottish League Cup and are now

0:01:180:01:21

aiming for a treble in the Scottish Cup.

0:01:210:01:24

There was relief for Arsene Wenger with his team drawing 2-2

0:01:240:01:27

at home to Manchester City.

0:01:270:01:29

Arsenal had lost four out of their previous five

0:01:290:01:31

Premier League games, but lots of fans are still

0:01:310:01:33

calling for him to resign.

0:01:330:01:35

The Gunners are currently sitting sixth in the table.

0:01:350:01:38

And Swansea didn't do much to help themselves avoid relegation

0:01:380:01:40

from the Premier League with a goalless draw

0:01:400:01:42

against Middlesborough.

0:01:420:01:46

Swansea sit just one point above the bottom three.

0:01:460:01:49

Heading onto the water now, and the famous boat race took place

0:01:490:01:52

yesterday afternoon between Oxford and Cambridge universities.

0:01:520:01:55

The race has been officially happening for 163 years now,

0:01:550:01:59

and this year it was the Oxford men who won.

0:01:590:02:02

It's the fourth time in five years they've done it.

0:02:020:02:04

While in the women's race, Oxford had a terrible start,

0:02:040:02:07

getting an oar stuck right at the beginning, leaving Cambridge

0:02:070:02:09

an easy run to the winners' podium.

0:02:090:02:16

We all know his drawings so well from books by authors

0:02:160:02:18

like Roald Dahl, David Walliams and Michael Rosen.

0:02:180:02:22

And now illustrator Quentin Blake is letting people find out more

0:02:220:02:25

about his best-loved creations in a new exhibition

0:02:250:02:27

in West Yorkshire.

0:02:270:02:30

Tech has moved on since he first started drawing, but most

0:02:300:02:34

of the time he still just uses a pen and paper - and it

0:02:340:02:38

comes pretty naturally.

0:02:380:02:39

I just feel I'm doing it, and it comes like that.

0:02:390:02:45

And then you're also very conscious of, I mean,

0:02:450:02:48

I like scratchy nibs, things where you can feel

0:02:480:02:50

the marks on the paper, so you're getting that as well.

0:02:500:02:55

Now to the kid taking on a mammoth music mission.

0:02:550:02:58

When Matthew's teacher spotted his talent at playing the violin,

0:02:580:03:01

he wondered if he could lead a whole orchestra.

0:03:010:03:03

So how's he getting on?

0:03:030:03:04

Ayshah's been to see.

0:03:040:03:10

Meet Matthew.

0:03:100:03:12

At 11-years-old, he's ready to become one of the world's

0:03:120:03:14

youngest conductors.

0:03:140:03:17

Pretty soon, he's going to be up on stage at the front

0:03:170:03:20

of this Symphony Orchestra, leading them through

0:03:200:03:22

a performance of an operetta called Die Fledermaus.

0:03:220:03:26

Tell me a little bit about why you've decided to do conducting.

0:03:260:03:31

At the start I never really wanted to start conducting,

0:03:310:03:34

because a few years back my music teacher, Derek, told me to learn

0:03:340:03:39

this conducting piece, Die Fledermaus, the one I'm playing

0:03:390:03:42

now, and I learned it in a few days.

0:03:420:03:44

But at the time I wasn't able to conduct this

0:03:440:03:47

orchestra, but now I can.

0:03:470:03:52

This is a really important rehearsal for Matthew.

0:03:520:03:55

It's one of the last chances for the players

0:03:550:03:57

to get everything right before their massive performance.

0:03:570:04:01

There are 75 players in the orchestra, and it's his job

0:04:010:04:03

to lead them, keeping them all in time with each other

0:04:030:04:06

and checking that the audience can hear all the different parts.

0:04:060:04:12

My job with the orchestra is keeping time, making sure they're

0:04:120:04:15

playing the right things.

0:04:150:04:17

I'm just controlling how they play, I can control if they play

0:04:170:04:20

loud or really quiet.

0:04:200:04:25

What is it like to be in control of all of those adults?

0:04:250:04:28

It's very difficult, because, as a kid, usually I don't

0:04:280:04:33

really control them, they control me.

0:04:330:04:36

But when I'm playing the song, I have to tell them what to do,

0:04:360:04:40

and what to do when they start and when they finish.

0:04:400:04:42

He's better than some adult conductors that I've played

0:04:420:04:44

under before, actually!

0:04:440:04:47

You have to put the stick higher so they see it,

0:04:470:04:51

but you have to make sure they can see your stick because if they can't

0:04:510:04:55

and they're not playing, they're just being really lazy.

0:04:550:04:59

Well, it looks like you've got your work cut out, Matthew,

0:04:590:05:01

so I'll leave you to it.

0:05:010:05:10

Next, what do you think this strange image behind me is?

0:05:100:05:13

Let's take a closer look.

0:05:130:05:15

Well, it's actually the winner of the Engineering

0:05:150:05:17

and Physical Sciences Research Council photography competition.

0:05:170:05:21

And this image shows us a close-up of some swirling ink made

0:05:210:05:23

from a material called graphene.

0:05:230:05:25

It was taken by James Macleod and beat more than 100

0:05:250:05:28

entries to the top spot.

0:05:280:05:32

Finally to a problem you'll never have thought about -

0:05:320:05:35

how to move a really tall chimney?

0:05:350:05:37

Well, really slowly is the answer.

0:05:370:05:40

This old factory chimney in the Netherlands is 44 metres high

0:05:400:05:43

and weighs 450 tonnes.

0:05:430:05:46

It took a truck around four hours to move it to a new site.

0:05:460:05:51

Don't forget you can head online for loads more,

0:05:510:05:54

Jenny will be here at 4.20pm.
