:00:00. > :00:17.Hi, I'm Martin with another Newsround update for you. Coming up.

:00:18. > :00:19.The Voice coach Ricky Wilson answers your questions. And how to replace

:00:20. > :00:24.Sir Bruce? You've been telling us who you think should be the new

:00:25. > :00:27.Strictly presenter. First, it's a historic day in Afghanistan where

:00:28. > :00:30.people are voting for a new president. It's the first time a

:00:31. > :00:33.transfer of power is being decided by an election there. There's really

:00:34. > :00:37.tight security, with 400,000 police officers and soldiers on duty. The

:00:38. > :00:41.Taliban, a group who were overthrown from power over a decade ago, have

:00:42. > :00:46.said they'll try to disrupt the vote. And for many women there, this

:00:47. > :00:54.is the first time they'll be able to have their say. We have come into

:00:55. > :01:00.the polling station and this is where voting is happening. Men and

:01:01. > :01:03.women bought separately in Afghanistan and for many of the

:01:04. > :01:07.women here, it is the first time they have been able to thought. The

:01:08. > :01:10.first thing is checking their identity and then the finger is

:01:11. > :01:17.dipped into ink to make sure they are not multiple voting. Then they

:01:18. > :01:20.are given a list of candidates. They have eight people to choose from to

:01:21. > :01:26.become the next president. Then they go into one of these booths to cast

:01:27. > :01:32.their vote privately before they put it into the ballot box here. This is

:01:33. > :01:37.the first time they are transferring power from one media to another

:01:38. > :01:44.democratically, but it is the last time they are voting before foreign

:01:45. > :01:49.trips leave later this year. People here, as you can see from the

:01:50. > :01:53.fingers, are extremely proud to have cast their vote. If you want to know

:01:54. > :01:56.more about what life is like in Afghanistan - a reminder that

:01:57. > :02:00.earlier this year Nel travelled back to where she was born for a

:02:01. > :02:03.Newsround Special. The kids living there told her what they think the

:02:04. > :02:06.future holds for their home. You can watch the full programme on the

:02:07. > :02:10.Newsround website. Sport now and Andy Murray has won his singles

:02:11. > :02:13.match to drag Great Britain back into their Davis Cup tie with Italy.

:02:14. > :02:16.The Scot fought hard against Andreas Seppi this morning after their match

:02:17. > :02:20.was stopped half-way through yesterday due to bad light. He won

:02:21. > :02:24.in straight sets in the end to level the tie at one-all. Andy's playing

:02:25. > :02:34.his second match of the day, in the doubles right now. Back here, one of

:02:35. > :02:37.the world's most famous horse races, the Grand National, takes place

:02:38. > :02:40.later today. Up to 40 racehorses will be competing along the tough

:02:41. > :02:43.four-and-a-half mile course. There are 30 fences to jump over. It's

:02:44. > :02:46.been criticised in the past for being too dangerous, after some

:02:47. > :02:49.horses died. But officials are hoping recent safety changes will

:02:50. > :02:52.help ensure all runners and riders finish safely, as they did last

:02:53. > :02:55.year. Next, who should replace Sir Bruce Forsyth as presenter of

:02:56. > :02:59.Strictly Come Dancing? That's what's got loads of you talking on the

:03:00. > :03:03.website. Graham Norton has emerged as the favourite to fill his shoes.

:03:04. > :03:07.Brucie's led the hit show for ten years but announced yesterday that

:03:08. > :03:10.it's the right time to step down from doing the live shows. He will

:03:11. > :03:14.still work on special pre-recorded Strictly over Christmas time. When

:03:15. > :03:17.asked yesterday who he thought should fill his shoes, Sir Bruce

:03:18. > :03:22.said he thought London Mayor Boris Johnson would be ideal! Well, it's

:03:23. > :03:26.fair to say that lots of you think Sir Bruce is going to be very hard

:03:27. > :03:29.to replace... Ella thinks it should be Claudia Winkleman because she's

:03:30. > :03:32.not a stranger to the show and she's really funny Lucy says John

:03:33. > :03:36.Barrowman would make a great host because he can sing and dance really

:03:37. > :03:41.well. Davina McCall should do it - says Caleb. Jessie wants Vernon Kay.

:03:42. > :03:45.She thinks he'd bring a new lease of life to the show. And Connor's vote

:03:46. > :03:51.goes to will.i.am - because he's funny, cool and collaborative.

:03:52. > :03:55.Sticking with Saturday night shows - the final of the Voice is tonight

:03:56. > :03:59.and mentor Ricky Wilson will hope his contestant Christina-Marie

:04:00. > :04:02.Wickens takes home the top prize. But Ricky's maybe best known as the

:04:03. > :04:06.lead singer of the band Kaiser Chiefs and we caught up with him and

:04:07. > :04:31.band mate Simon to answer your questions. I know that Ricky gets

:04:32. > :04:35.nervous. Once you're on the stage, the nerves disappear and you start

:04:36. > :04:40.enjoying it. You have to learn that, but you can learn it by doing

:04:41. > :04:50.something. It yourself in there, don't let nerves stop you. There is

:04:51. > :04:54.a football team in South Africa with the same name and we thought it was

:04:55. > :05:00.a cool name, so we sort of nicked it. It was the first band name that

:05:01. > :05:05.none of us hate it, so that is why it ended up being our name, but now

:05:06. > :05:12.I love it. I want the person with the best voice to win. When the

:05:13. > :05:20.chair turned down for the first time, it was the first time I had

:05:21. > :05:33.turned round in the chair. I thought that would be a rehearsal, but they

:05:34. > :05:38.do give you any whining. I think it is important never to achieve your

:05:39. > :05:46.goals, always to get new goals. Directly, then a bigger gate, then

:05:47. > :05:51.play at Brixton Academy in London. We have lots of things we would like

:05:52. > :05:55.to do still. It is important to keep believing. That's all from me, I'm

:05:56. > :05:59.back in the morning but you can head to the website to see amazing

:06:00. > :06:02.pictures of this volcano in Ecuador erupting. See ya.
