:00:00. > :00:07.Good afternoon, I'm Nel, and in my opinion there's no better way to

:00:08. > :00:10.start the Easter holidays than a jam-packed Newsround. Hold tight for

:00:11. > :00:14.this. Could the future stars of X Factor

:00:15. > :00:17.be even younger than these boys were?

:00:18. > :00:19.And, nice to see you, why Brucie's hanging up his shoes after a decade

:00:20. > :00:29.of dancing. First, then, just two months ago,

:00:30. > :00:33.this railway line along the Devon coast was torn to pieces by the

:00:34. > :00:37.winter storms. It's the main track that links Devon and Cornwall to the

:00:38. > :00:41.rest of the country, so it was a massive problem for people who live

:00:42. > :00:44.there. It needed fixing, fast. Over the past eight weeks, a team of 300

:00:45. > :00:48.workers, nicknamed the Orange Army because of their bright outfits,

:00:49. > :00:52.worked around the clock to get Devon back on track. So, after all their

:00:53. > :01:04.hard work, today it was bunting and brass bands in the town of Dawlish.

:01:05. > :01:11.All today in tallest, a real sense of celebration in the air, as you

:01:12. > :01:16.can see, the main railway line is back open after weeks of being a

:01:17. > :01:20.mangled mess from the winter storms. David Cameron came here on a train

:01:21. > :01:27.to thank the local people for their patients. I know how cut off people

:01:28. > :01:32.felt fear after that terrible storm. It was so important to get this work

:01:33. > :01:36.done. Here at the station, I have been speaking to kids who have been

:01:37. > :01:40.affected by the closure, and who were excited the trains were back. I

:01:41. > :01:47.am really happy to see the trains again. I am excited, next year I am

:01:48. > :01:52.going to a school that as far away, and I need to get on the train. It

:01:53. > :01:56.has been very busy, a lot of passengers to move between stations,

:01:57. > :02:02.we have changed our stations into bus stations, a lot of schoolkids

:02:03. > :02:07.have had to get to school, so I have had headmasters ringing me up. It is

:02:08. > :02:12.great to see people back on the station, it has been dead without

:02:13. > :02:16.any customers. People here are amazed the job has been done so

:02:17. > :02:17.quickly. There is a real feeling of relief that things can get back to

:02:18. > :02:20.normal. Next to two big stories about

:02:21. > :02:23.Saturday night's biggest shows. Starting with X Factor, boss Simon

:02:24. > :02:27.Cowell has said he'll lower the entry age of contestants back down

:02:28. > :02:33.to 14 to try to attract fresh new talent. The last time 14-year-olds

:02:34. > :02:36.could take part was back in 2008. The age restriction was increased to

:02:37. > :02:41.16 after the show was criticised for putting too much pressure on the

:02:42. > :02:43.younger contestants. So, is lowering the age a good thing? You've been

:02:44. > :03:07.getting in touch. Meanwhile, on the BBC, it's just

:03:08. > :03:10.been announced that Sir Bruce Forsyth is quitting as presenter of

:03:11. > :03:15.the X Factor's biggest rival, Strictly Come Dancing. Brucie's led

:03:16. > :03:19.the show for ten years but says now's the right time to step down

:03:20. > :03:24.from the live shows. He will still work on special pre-recorded

:03:25. > :03:31.Strictlys over Christmas-time. So, how big a deal is this for the

:03:32. > :03:36.primetime show? It is big news, he has been a part

:03:37. > :03:41.of Strictly Come Dancing, a very big show, since it started. He is the

:03:42. > :03:45.reason a lot of people watched it to begin with, he helped it become

:03:46. > :03:50.popular and beat its rival, X Factor, in the ratings. He has had a

:03:51. > :03:54.few weeks off due to illness and has started taking more breaks, stepping

:03:55. > :03:57.down from the Sunday night show, so it felt like the right time for him

:03:58. > :03:59.to step aside. Cricket now, and England's women

:04:00. > :04:02.have shown up their male counterparts by breezing through to

:04:03. > :04:05.the final of the World Twenty20 tournament in Bangladesh. They

:04:06. > :04:08.thrashed South Africa by nine wickets. An unbeaten 44 from Sarah

:04:09. > :04:13.Taylor helped England knock off the runs they needed with plenty of time

:04:14. > :04:17.to spare. They'll meet Australia in Sunday's final.

:04:18. > :04:21.Attention, Shaun The Sheep fans. The trailer for the new movie is out

:04:22. > :04:24.now. And our website is the place to see it. While you're there, test

:04:25. > :04:28.your skills on our quiz of the week's news stories, and read all

:04:29. > :04:31.about the search for these gnomes' owners!

:04:32. > :04:35.Last up, a warning to everyone who's a bit too fond of their phone. It

:04:36. > :04:38.can get you into big trouble. Here's a girl in a drain. 16-year-old Ella

:04:39. > :04:43.got completely stuck after she climbed in to try to save her phone,

:04:44. > :04:46.and had to be rescued by the fire service. After being pulled out

:04:47. > :04:51.unhurt, she went straight home and jumped in the bath. Which feels like

:04:52. > :04:57.a safer place to relax. Told you it was a jam-packed show.

:04:58. > :04:59.That's all from me. Newsround's back over the weekend. Goodbye!
