Hi, I'm Martin with another Newsround update for you. Coming up.

The Voice coach Ricky Wilson answers your questions. And how to replace

Sir Bruce? You've been telling us who you think should be the new

Strictly presenter. First, it's a historic day in Afghanistan where

people are voting for a new president. It's the first time a

transfer of power is being decided by an election there. There's really

tight security, with 400,000 police officers and soldiers on duty. The

Taliban, a group who were overthrown from power over a decade ago, have

said they'll try to disrupt the vote. And for many women there, this

is the first time they'll be able to have their say. We have come into

the polling station and this is where voting is happening. Men and

women bought separately in Afghanistan and for many of the

women here, it is the first time they have been able to thought. The

first thing is checking their identity and then the finger is

dipped into ink to make sure they are not multiple voting. Then they

are given a list of candidates. They have eight people to choose from to

become the next president. Then they go into one of these booths to cast

their vote privately before they put it into the ballot box here. This is

the first time they are transferring power from one media to another

democratically, but it is the last time they are voting before foreign

trips leave later this year. People here, as you can see from the

fingers, are extremely proud to have cast their vote. If you want to know

more about what life is like in Afghanistan - a reminder that

earlier this year Nel travelled back to where she was born for a

Newsround Special. The kids living there told her what they think the

future holds for their home. You can watch the full programme on the

Newsround website. Sport now and Andy Murray has won his singles

match to drag Great Britain back into their Davis Cup tie with Italy.

The Scot fought hard against Andreas Seppi this morning after their match

was stopped half-way through yesterday due to bad light. He won

in straight sets in the end to level the tie at one-all. Andy's playing

his second match of the day, in the doubles right now. Back here, one of

the world's most famous horse races, the Grand National, takes place

later today. Up to 40 racehorses will be competing along the tough

four-and-a-half mile course. There are 30 fences to jump over. It's

been criticised in the past for being too dangerous, after some

horses died. But officials are hoping recent safety changes will

help ensure all runners and riders finish safely, as they did last

year. Next, who should replace Sir Bruce Forsyth as presenter of

Strictly Come Dancing? That's what's got loads of you talking on the

website. Graham Norton has emerged as the favourite to fill his shoes.

Brucie's led the hit show for ten years but announced yesterday that

it's the right time to step down from doing the live shows. He will

still work on special pre-recorded Strictly over Christmas time. When

asked yesterday who he thought should fill his shoes, Sir Bruce

said he thought London Mayor Boris Johnson would be ideal! Well, it's

fair to say that lots of you think Sir Bruce is going to be very hard

to replace... Ella thinks it should be Claudia Winkleman because she's

not a stranger to the show and she's really funny Lucy says John

Barrowman would make a great host because he can sing and dance really

well. Davina McCall should do it - says Caleb. Jessie wants Vernon Kay.

She thinks he'd bring a new lease of life to the show. And Connor's vote

goes to will.i.am - because he's funny, cool and collaborative.

Sticking with Saturday night shows - the final of the Voice is tonight

and mentor Ricky Wilson will hope his contestant Christina-Marie

Wickens takes home the top prize. But Ricky's maybe best known as the

lead singer of the band Kaiser Chiefs and we caught up with him and

band mate Simon to answer your questions. I know that Ricky gets

nervous. Once you're on the stage, the nerves disappear and you start

enjoying it. You have to learn that, but you can learn it by doing

something. It yourself in there, don't let nerves stop you. There is

a football team in South Africa with the same name and we thought it was

a cool name, so we sort of nicked it. It was the first band name that

none of us hate it, so that is why it ended up being our name, but now

I love it. I want the person with the best voice to win. When the

chair turned down for the first time, it was the first time I had

turned round in the chair. I thought that would be a rehearsal, but they

do give you any whining. I think it is important never to achieve your

goals, always to get new goals. Directly, then a bigger gate, then

play at Brixton Academy in London. We have lots of things we would like

to do still. It is important to keep believing. That's all from me, I'm

back in the morning but you can head to the website to see amazing

pictures of this volcano in Ecuador erupting. See ya.
