0:01:24 > 0:01:32I can now reveal the winner of the X Factor 2017 is...Rak-Su!

0:01:32 > 0:01:33It was Rak-Su!

0:01:45 > 0:01:47We want you to get in touch about all things X Factor.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Did the right act win, and why?

0:01:49 > 0:01:52Are you a raving about Rak-Su or did you think Grace was great?

0:01:52 > 0:01:55Next, to a young footballer with a big dream.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58Jessica lives in Liberia in West Africa, where girls haven't

0:01:58 > 0:01:59traditionally played football - but she's hoping

0:01:59 > 0:02:06to help change that.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08Hi, my name is Jessica.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Welcome to my home.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14Jessica's ten years old.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18She lives in West Point, which is the biggest slum in Liberia.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21This is where I started playing football when I was six years old.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24She was spotted by a talent scout and has spent

0:02:24 > 0:02:27the last couple of years at the Monrovia football academy.

0:02:27 > 0:02:32It's the first one in Africa to take on both boys and girls.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34In West Africa, the female football is not well structured,

0:02:34 > 0:02:37but this is what we're trying to change, to give the girls access

0:02:37 > 0:02:39to opportunities out there.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41When they're playing good football, they can have opportunities

0:02:41 > 0:02:46of a professional football contract.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49I fell in love with football because I want to be

0:02:49 > 0:02:55a good football player, and I love football very much.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59Nearly two thirds of children in Liberia have never been

0:02:59 > 0:03:05to school, so the academy helps with learning off the pitch, too.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08Jessica's had the chance to play in international games,

0:03:08 > 0:03:11and it's her dream to one day be part of one of Europe's

0:03:11 > 0:03:14biggest clubs, Real Madrid.

0:03:14 > 0:03:18You go, girl!

0:03:18 > 0:03:22Now have you ever been on a journey and lost something along the way?

0:03:22 > 0:03:25Maybe it was your favourite teddy bear.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Well, that's exactly what happened to ten-year-old Eve.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30Here are the 'bear' facts.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Basil's a chocolate Labrador teddy and he's really special to me

0:03:32 > 0:03:37because he looks like my dog, Archie.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40I take him everywhere.

0:03:40 > 0:03:45We were going to Canada that day, and I forgot all about Basil,

0:03:45 > 0:03:50I thought he was in my bag or I thought my mum had packed him

0:03:50 > 0:03:53up, so we went onto the flight, but he wasn't in my bag.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55I was crying my heart out on the plane.

0:03:55 > 0:03:59I just thought, "Oh, no, I've not got Basil any more."

0:03:59 > 0:04:04And ten-year-old Eve isn't the only one to lose a teddy this year.

0:04:04 > 0:04:05I found another one.

0:04:05 > 0:04:06Another one, is it?

0:04:06 > 0:04:09Put it in with the rest.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12But this year, instead of leaving all the teddies in lost property,

0:04:12 > 0:04:15Glasgow Airport decided to try something a little bit different.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18So, every year at Glasgow airport, we have about 10 million people

0:04:18 > 0:04:21who travel through our doors, and for some of the younger

0:04:21 > 0:04:24travellers they are coming along with their best friend,

0:04:24 > 0:04:27their teddies, and we all know how upsetting it can be

0:04:27 > 0:04:33if they become separated.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37So we went over to the lost property office, we found there were teddies

0:04:37 > 0:04:39sitting lonely on the shelves, and we felt, we need

0:04:39 > 0:04:44to do something, we need to try and reunite them.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46They made a video showing off all the teddies in lost property

0:04:46 > 0:04:47and posting it online.

0:04:47 > 0:04:48And guess what?

0:04:48 > 0:04:50The video went viral.

0:04:50 > 0:04:51Turned up on Good Morning Germany TV.

0:04:51 > 0:04:56It was on TV in Japan.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58It was overwhelming.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01We just really didn't anticipate the level

0:05:01 > 0:05:03of interest we'd receive.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07And, amazingly, Eve's mum was one of the people who saw it.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09I didn't think I would actually get him back.

0:05:09 > 0:05:16I just feel so excited, happy, overwhelmed.

0:05:16 > 0:05:21He means so much, he means the world to me.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27I believe this is yours?

0:05:27 > 0:05:31Yeah.

0:05:31 > 0:05:40Missed you.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42It is like the end of a film!

0:05:42 > 0:05:45Finally, it's a bit embarassing when you try to do something and it

0:05:45 > 0:05:47doesn't quite work - especially if lots of

0:05:47 > 0:05:48people are watching.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50Well, that's what happened when construction workers tried

0:05:50 > 0:05:52to knock down this unused sports stadium in America.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55They had planned to blow up the Silverdome in Detroit, Michigan.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58But, it didn't quite work!

0:05:58 > 0:06:01I wonder how they'll try to take it down now?!

0:06:01 > 0:06:03That's it from me, we'll be back at 4.20pm.
