Hi, I'm Whitney and

this is Newsround.

0:00:130:00:17

First up to football, and Manchester

took on West Ham last night.

0:00:170:00:21

The Hammers scored first

but Nicolas Otamendi made

0:00:210:00:23

the scores equal again.

0:00:230:00:25

Then David Silva gave City the win

with just seven minutes to go.

0:00:250:00:29

The victory made it

a record-equalling 13th

0:00:290:00:32

Premier League match wins

in a row for City.

0:00:320:00:35

Cricket now, and England

are battling it out

0:00:350:00:37

with Australia in the Ashes.

0:00:370:00:44

It's best of five games to win

the competition and Austalia

0:00:440:00:47

have already won one.

0:00:470:00:48

It looks like they'll

be taking the second.

0:00:480:00:50

Australia scored 442 runs

in their first innings and currently

0:00:500:00:52

England are just 219 for 8 wickets.

0:00:520:00:56

Not looking great.

0:00:560:00:59

And in tennis, Alfie Hewett became

the first British Champion in 23

0:00:590:01:02

years to win the singles titles

in Loughborough at the Wheelchair

0:01:020:01:04

Tennis Masters over the weekend.

0:01:040:01:07

Hewett beat his doubles partner

Gordon Reid in the final.

0:01:070:01:11

Did you watch the X Factor

final last night?

0:01:110:01:14

Well if you don't want to know

who won, look away now!

0:01:140:01:16

Ready?

0:01:160:01:24

I can now reveal the winner of the X

Factor 2017 is...

Rak-Su!

0:01:240:01:32

It was Rak-Su!

0:01:320:01:33

They're the first boy band to win

the show since it started in 2004.

0:01:330:01:36

They beat Grace Davies in the final.

0:01:360:01:38

Their first single is called Dimelo,

and all the money raised

0:01:380:01:40

from it will go to charity.

0:01:400:01:45

We want you to get in touch

about all things X Factor.

0:01:450:01:47

Did the right act win, and why?

0:01:470:01:49

Are you a raving about Rak-Su or did

you think Grace was great?

0:01:490:01:52

Next, to a young footballer

with a big dream.

0:01:520:01:55

Jessica lives in Liberia

in West Africa, where girls haven't

0:01:550:01:58

traditionally played football -

but she's hoping

0:01:580:01:59

to help change that.

0:01:590:02:06

Hi, my name is Jessica.

0:02:060:02:08

Welcome to my home.

0:02:080:02:11

Jessica's ten years old.

0:02:110:02:14

She lives in West Point, which is

the biggest slum in Liberia.

0:02:140:02:18

This is where I started playing

football when I was six years old.

0:02:180:02:21

She was spotted by a talent

scout and has spent

0:02:210:02:24

the last couple of years

at the Monrovia football academy.

0:02:240:02:27

It's the first one in Africa to take

on both boys and girls.

0:02:270:02:32

In West Africa, the female football

is not well structured,

0:02:320:02:34

but this is what we're trying

to change, to give the girls access

0:02:340:02:37

to opportunities out there.

0:02:370:02:39

When they're playing good football,

they can have opportunities

0:02:390:02:41

of a professional football contract.

0:02:410:02:46

I fell in love with football

because I want to be

0:02:460:02:49

a good football player,

and I love football very much.

0:02:490:02:55

Nearly two thirds of children

in Liberia have never been

0:02:550:02:59

to school, so the academy helps

with learning off the pitch, too.

0:02:590:03:05

Jessica's had the chance to play

in international games,

0:03:050:03:08

and it's her dream to one day be

part of one of Europe's

0:03:080:03:11

biggest clubs, Real Madrid.

0:03:110:03:14

You go, girl!

0:03:140:03:18

Now have you ever been on a journey

and lost something along the way?

0:03:180:03:22

Maybe it was your

favourite teddy bear.

0:03:220:03:25

Well, that's exactly what happened

to ten-year-old Eve.

0:03:250:03:27

Here are the 'bear' facts.

0:03:270:03:30

Basil's a chocolate Labrador teddy

and he's really special to me

0:03:300:03:32

because he looks like my dog,

Archie.

0:03:320:03:37

I take him everywhere.

0:03:370:03:40

We were going to Canada that day,

and I forgot all about Basil,

0:03:400:03:45

I thought he was in my bag

or I thought my mum had packed him

0:03:450:03:50

up, so we went onto the flight,

but he wasn't in my bag.

0:03:500:03:53

I was crying my heart

out on the plane.

0:03:530:03:55

I just thought, "Oh, no,

I've not got Basil any more."

0:03:550:03:59

And ten-year-old Eve isn't the only

one to lose a teddy this year.

0:03:590:04:04

I found another one.

0:04:040:04:05

Another one, is it?

0:04:050:04:06

Put it in with the rest.

0:04:060:04:09

But this year, instead of leaving

all the teddies in lost property,

0:04:090:04:12

Glasgow Airport decided to try

something a little bit different.

0:04:120:04:15

So, every year at Glasgow airport,

we have about 10 million people

0:04:150:04:18

who travel through our doors,

and for some of the younger

0:04:180:04:21

travellers they are coming along

with their best friend,

0:04:210:04:24

their teddies, and we all know

how upsetting it can be

0:04:240:04:27

if they become separated.

0:04:270:04:33

So we went over to the lost property

office, we found there were teddies

0:04:330:04:37

sitting lonely on the shelves,

and we felt, we need

0:04:370:04:39

to do something, we need

to try and reunite them.

0:04:390:04:44

They made a video showing off

all the teddies in lost property

0:04:440:04:46

and posting it online.

0:04:460:04:47

And guess what?

0:04:470:04:48

The video went viral.

0:04:480:04:50

Turned up on Good

Morning Germany TV.

0:04:500:04:51

It was on TV in Japan.

0:04:510:04:56

It was overwhelming.

0:04:560:04:58

We just really didn't

anticipate the level

0:04:580:05:01

of interest we'd receive.

0:05:010:05:03

And, amazingly, Eve's mum was one

of the people who saw it.

0:05:030:05:07

I didn't think I would

actually get him back.

0:05:070:05:09

I just feel so excited,

happy, overwhelmed.

0:05:090:05:16

He means so much, he

means the world to me.

0:05:160:05:21

I believe this is yours?

0:05:250:05:27

Yeah.

0:05:270:05:31

Missed you.

0:05:310:05:40

It is like the end of a film!

0:05:400:05:42

Finally, it's a bit embarassing

when you try to do something and it

0:05:420:05:45

doesn't quite work -

especially if lots of

0:05:450:05:47

people are watching.

0:05:470:05:48

Well, that's what happened

when construction workers tried

0:05:480:05:50

to knock down this unused sports

stadium in America.

0:05:500:05:52

They had planned to blow up

the Silverdome in Detroit, Michigan.

0:05:520:05:55

But, it didn't quite work!

0:05:550:05:58

I wonder how they'll

try to take it down now?!

0:05:580:06:01

That's it from me,

we'll be back at 4.20pm.
