0:00:00 > 0:00:00See you.

0:00:00 > 0:00:05See you.

0:00:12 > 0:00:15Hi, I'm Whitney and this is Newsround.

0:00:15 > 0:00:17First up, you've just heard the scores but how

0:00:17 > 0:00:19about seeing those goals?

0:00:22 > 0:00:24Manchester City took on West Ham last night.

0:00:24 > 0:00:26The Hammers scored first but Nicolas Otamendi made

0:00:26 > 0:00:28the scores equal again.

0:00:28 > 0:00:30Then David Silva gave City the win with just

0:00:30 > 0:00:32seven minutes to go.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35Cricket now, and it's not a great day for England,

0:00:35 > 0:00:37battling it out with Australia in the Ashes.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40It's best of three games to win the competition and Austalia

0:00:40 > 0:00:42have already won one - and it looks like they'll

0:00:42 > 0:00:44be taking the second.

0:00:44 > 0:00:54Australia scored 442 runs in their first innings and England

0:00:57 > 0:00:58are just 208 for 7 wickets.

0:00:58 > 0:00:59Not great.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01Next, to a young footballer with a big dream.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Jessica lives in Liberia in West Africa where girls haven't

0:01:04 > 0:01:05traditionally played football - but she's hoping

0:01:05 > 0:01:07to help change that.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10Hi, my name is Jessica.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14Welcome to my home.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16Jessica's ten years old.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18She lives in West Point, which is the biggest slum in Liberia.

0:01:18 > 0:01:22This is where I started playing football when I was six years old.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25She was spotted by a talent scout and has spent

0:01:25 > 0:01:29the last couple of years at the Monrovia football academy.

0:01:29 > 0:01:36It's the first one in Africa to take on both boys and girls.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39In West Africa, the female football is not well structured,

0:01:39 > 0:01:42but this is what we're trying to change, to give the girls access

0:01:42 > 0:01:43to opportunities out there.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45When they're playing good football, they can have opportunities

0:01:45 > 0:01:46of a professional football contract.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49I fell in love with football because I want to be

0:01:49 > 0:01:57a good football player, and I love football very much.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Nearly two thirds of children in Liberia have never been

0:01:59 > 0:02:04to school, so the academy helps with learning off the pitch, too.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08Jessica's had the chance to play in international games,

0:02:08 > 0:02:11and it's her dream to one day be part of one of Europe's

0:02:11 > 0:02:14biggest clubs, Real Madrid.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18You go, girl!

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Next, have you ever been on a journey and lost

0:02:20 > 0:02:21something along the way?

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Maybe it was your favourite teddy bear.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27Well, that's exactly what happened to ten-year-old Eve in a story that

0:02:27 > 0:02:31gained worldwide attention.

0:02:31 > 0:02:35Here are the 'bear' facts.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Basil's a chocolate Labrador teddy and he's really special to me

0:02:37 > 0:02:40because he looks like my dog, Archie.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42I take him everywhere.

0:02:42 > 0:02:47We were going to Canada that day, and I forgot all about Basil,

0:02:47 > 0:02:51I thought he was in my bag or I thought my mum had packed him up,

0:02:51 > 0:02:54so we went onto the flight, but he wasn't in my bag.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56I was crying my heart out on the plane.

0:02:56 > 0:03:00I just thought, "Oh, no, I've not got Basil any more."

0:03:00 > 0:03:04And ten-year-old Eve isn't the only one to lose a teddy this year.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06I found another one.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Another one, is it?

0:03:08 > 0:03:11Put it in with the rest.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14But this year, instead of leaving all the teddies in lost property,

0:03:14 > 0:03:18Glasgow Airport decided to try something a little bit different.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20So, every year at Glasgow airport, we have about 10 million people

0:03:20 > 0:03:23who travel through our doors, and for some of the younger

0:03:23 > 0:03:27travellers they are coming along with their best friend,

0:03:27 > 0:03:30their teddies, and we all know how upsetting it can be

0:03:30 > 0:03:31if they become separated.

0:03:31 > 0:03:37So we went over the lost property office, we found there were teddies

0:03:37 > 0:03:39sitting lonely on the shelves, and we felt, we need

0:03:39 > 0:03:48to do something, we need to try and we unite them.

0:03:48 > 0:03:49-- reunite them.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52They made a video showing off teddies in lost property

0:03:52 > 0:03:53and posting it online.

0:03:53 > 0:03:54And guess what?

0:03:54 > 0:03:55The video went viral.

0:03:55 > 0:03:56Turned up on Good Morning Germany TV.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59It was on TV in Japan.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01It was overwhelming.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03We just really didn't anticipate the level

0:04:03 > 0:04:08of interest we would receive.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11And, amazingly, Eve's mum was one of the people who saw it.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13I didn't think I would actually get him back.

0:04:13 > 0:04:18I just feel so excited, happy, overwhelmed.

0:04:18 > 0:04:23He means so much, he means the world to me.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30I believe this is yours?

0:04:30 > 0:04:34Yeah.

0:04:34 > 0:04:42Missed you.

0:04:42 > 0:04:43So sweet!

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Finally, if you looked at the sky last night,

0:04:47 > 0:04:49then you may have spotted this gem!

0:04:49 > 0:04:51It's called a Supermoon and looked bigger and brighter than usual

0:04:51 > 0:04:53because it was closer to the earth.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55It's the first supermoon since November, but if you missed

0:04:55 > 0:04:58it, don't you worry - you're in for another chance

0:04:58 > 0:05:00as there will be two more before the end of January.

0:05:00 > 0:05:01That's it from me.

0:05:01 > 0:05:02See you in half-an-hour.
