Keep watching as we've got plenty coming up.

:00:00.:00:09.

The Strictly celebs have got their dancing partners -

:00:10.:00:13.

And Quentin Blake on illustrating the new Beatrix Potter story.

:00:14.:00:28.

First, thousands of people have come together in Vatican City, in Italy,

:00:29.:00:32.

to see the Pope officially name the world famous nun,

:00:33.:00:35.

spent her life helping poor people in the slums in India.

:00:36.:00:43.

Being named a saint is seen as being a religious honour given

:00:44.:00:47.

She's become "St Theresa of Calcutta" in a special ceremony.

:00:48.:00:54.

There's a busy couple of days of international

:00:55.:00:55.

football coming up, with the four home nations

:00:56.:00:57.

in their first 2018 World Cup qualifying matches.

:00:58.:01:01.

and Northern Ireland play the Czech Republic.

:01:02.:01:06.

But the first game is England versus Slovakia -

:01:07.:01:10.

a team they drew 0-0 with in the Euros.

:01:11.:01:13.

It will be Sam Allardyce's first game as manager -

:01:14.:01:16.

If you look at their record, generally, in games like this,

:01:17.:01:25.

And we have to try and be the team that gets that advantage.

:01:26.:01:31.

There's some other international sporting action to look forward

:01:32.:01:34.

The Rio Paralympics opening ceremony is in just three days.

:01:35.:01:38.

hopefuls is wheelchair tennis player and Wimbledon champion Gordon Reid.

:01:39.:01:43.

You represent your country, you're part of this Paralympics GB team. I

:01:44.:02:05.

always feel awe inspired and a bit more motivated wearing the GB shirt.

:02:06.:02:12.

Hopefully I can get on top of that podium with the national anthem. One

:02:13.:02:19.

of the things I love most about the sport is that it translates really

:02:20.:02:23.

easily from somebody playing on their feet to somebody playing in a

:02:24.:02:27.

chair. You play on the same court, the same sized net, the same scoring

:02:28.:02:33.

system. The only difference is I get two bounces of the ball, so it's

:02:34.:02:37.

very easy to play with somebody on their feet, your family or your

:02:38.:02:42.

mates. You have had such a successful year, Wimbledon,

:02:43.:02:48.

Melbourne... It was always a name to play at Wimbledon, so to go there

:02:49.:02:53.

after years of playing doubles there was special. To be the first ever

:02:54.:02:58.

win on home soil, and the support of my friends and family, I think it

:02:59.:03:02.

was heard all around the ground, not just on our court. I have heard a

:03:03.:03:06.

few stories about some of the guys who were at the Olympics about some

:03:07.:03:10.

of the conditions and the organisation. They were not run

:03:11.:03:15.

perfectly, but they still staged a pretty successful event, in my

:03:16.:03:21.

opinion. Some pretty amazing moments, and some great

:03:22.:03:24.

performances, especially from Team GB. So it is trying to go out there

:03:25.:03:28.

and trying to focus on myself, as the athlete. I think there are six

:03:29.:03:33.

or seven players in this division who can win gold. My aim is to win

:03:34.:03:39.

two goals, singles and doubles. If you win, will you cry? I probably

:03:40.:03:44.

will. I cried when it was Andy Murray, never mind myself!

:03:45.:03:47.

From Peter Rabbit to Jemima Puddleduck,

:03:48.:03:49.

author Beatrix Potter created some much-loved characters.

:03:50.:03:51.

But there was one story that never made it on to bookshelves -

:03:52.:03:54.

The Tale of Kitty-In-Boots has been discovered 100 years

:03:55.:03:57.

after it was written - and it's Roald Dahl

:03:58.:03:59.

illustrator Quentin Blake who's done the pictures.

:04:00.:04:06.

It is the most extraordinary thing, because I have

:04:07.:04:08.

always been an admirer of Beatrix Potter.

:04:09.:04:12.

If you're interested in illustration at all, you are.

:04:13.:04:15.

But that there should be this other story is extraordinary.

:04:16.:04:21.

There are two characters, Mrs Tiggywinkle, the hedgehog who does

:04:22.:04:25.

the laundry, and Mr Tod, who is that very sinister fox.

:04:26.:04:30.

I copied them from Beatrix's drawings!

:04:31.:04:40.

There is no very developed picture of the cat who is the heroine of it.

:04:41.:04:45.

It's as though I could invent her without worrying too

:04:46.:04:51.

much about what Beatrix would think about it.

:04:52.:04:55.

She decides she's not going to go poaching any longer because it

:04:56.:04:58.

doesn't work and she throws the gun away.

:04:59.:05:00.

And she throws away this Norfolk jacket.

:05:01.:05:03.

And then she goes back to having tea with other respectable cats.

:05:04.:05:09.

But she still goes on catching rats and mice in the yard.

:05:10.:05:13.

It was so nice to draw a picture of her in a long dress,

:05:14.:05:17.

And the fight to be Strictly champ officially kicked off last night,

:05:18.:05:25.

with the 15 celebs getting paired up with their professional partners,

:05:26.:05:27.

before showing off their moves in a group dance.

:05:28.:05:29.

The stars now have three weeks to practise before

:05:30.:05:32.

We wanted to know who your fave is, and plenty of you have got in touch.

:05:33.:05:40.

Beth says Claudia and AJ should win because they're both

:05:41.:05:42.

brilliant at dancing and they look amazing together.

:05:43.:05:44.

While Jim thinks that Judge Rinder will win because he is funny!

:05:45.:05:50.

Newsround's back tomorrow morning at 7:40.

:05:51.:05:54.
