Hi, I'm Whitney.

This is Thursday's Newsround.

England have become the first

country to have five teams

in the Champions League

knockout stage.

Liverpool were the final

team to book their place

in a seven-goal thriller

against Spartak Moscow.

Ricky's got this.

Liverpool went into last night's

game against Spartak Moscow knowing

they couldn't lose if they wanted

to be sure of reaching

the knockout stage for

the first time in nine years.

So they pulled out all the stops

for a brilliant 7-0 win at Anfield.

Absolutely fantastic!

Philippe Coutinho scored a hat-trick

and also won man of the match.

Sadio Mane got

a couple of goals, too.

They are the first English team

to score 23 goals

in a single Champions League group.

Even manager Jurgen Klopp

was surprised by the score.

With my assistants, I was sitting

outside when it was 6-0,

and actually we were all looking

at each other and thought,

"Wow, how did that happen?"

Liverpool's victory means that

this is the first time in history

that five English teams

have qualified

for the Champions League last 16

in the same season.

Chelsea, Man City, Man United

and Tottenham will join the Reds

in Monday's draw at

Uefa headquarters in Switzerland.

Liverpool could now face

current champions Real Madrid,

five-time winners Bayern Munich,

and Italian champions Juventus.

# The champions! #

Next to California,

where more than 230,000

people have had to leave their homes

because of huge wildfires.

The fire has made its way

through to the well-known

Bel Air neighbourhood

in Southern California,

and many buildings have

been destroyed.

Now, you might have heard of bowls.

No, not the ones you put

your fruit or cereals in!

Lawn bowls is a sport, and it's

often played by older people.

Well, not any more.

The BBC's Get Inspired has been

to meet a new group of players.

They're here to bowl,

and they mean business.

No, not them - these girls.

They're all from black, Asian

and minority ethnic backgrounds,

and they want to show you

that nothing should stop you

from getting out and getting active.

I myself was once afraid,

like to step out of my own home

and do what I love,

because I was afraid

that I would get judged.

I always had this feeling

like people are going to look at me

like this girl who wears a hijab,

but we're all the same

at the end of the day.

I did it, right next to it!

We were approached by the college

to say, could we undertake a couple

of training sessions with the girls?

People think that it's

an old man's game.

Well, this has got

to all be washed away.

They was being so friendly.

When we first came,

they were like a proper

warm welcome, saying,

"Come on guys, join here."

People thinks like, "She can't do

things because she's all covered up,

like she's not going to be active

and everything,"

but that's not true,

all we need is like a motivation

and someone to say we can do it.

Everyone say cheese!

Cheese!

Looking good, guys!

Now, we all love emojis

here at Newsround,

but how do you feel about this?

Plans to introduce a "frowning pile

of poo" emoji have been flushed

by the group in charge

of creating the symbols.

Rory has been looking

at this for us,

using a special app

where you can become the emoji.

Over the years, the poo emoji

has proved strangely popular.

But now there's a bit

of a stink over its future.

Some people wanted a new version

which would be sad.

Instead of happy all the time.

But that made others angry!

But now the Unicode Consortium,

which is in charge of new emojis,

has flushed the sad version

from its plans for 2018.

Now if you're heading to a panto

this Christmas,

I bet you've never been

to one like this - on real snow.

Rather than a stage,

it was performed on a ski slope

in Trafford in Greater Manchster.

Now, just a week to go until this.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

hits the cinema.

Newsround is going to meet

three of the stars,

and we want to put

your questions to them.

So head to Newsround online

and get in touch.

That's it from me.

Have a great night.

Ricky's back in the

morning with loads

more stories for you.

See you later!
