Good morning.

Ayshah here.

Your top stories on

Thursday's Newsround:

We celebrate International Women's

Day with some amazing people.

The footballer hoping

for a world record.

Hi, I'm Ayshah and first of all

Happy International Women's Day!

It's a day to celebrate

the amazing achievements

of women all over the world.

We spoke to a group of women who've

achieved some incredible

things in their lives,

from winning paralympic medals

to selling millions of books,

to see what they had to say to young

girls growing up today.

Take a look at this.

Hi, Newsround.

Hello everybody there at Newsround.

My advice for all of you young girls

watching Newsround right now is...

For International Women's Day

we spoke to six amazing women.

Millie, Lauren, Anita and Yasmin,

Kimberley and Ellie to see

what they had to say.

Being a girl can be

difficult in so many ways.

I feel like there's one major

challenge that maybe some

of you that are watching Newsround

might have faced and

that is comparison.

You shouldn't compare

yourself to anyone else.

We live in a crazy self regeneration

and there is so much pressure put

on the way that you look and the way

that you present yourself that

sometimes the really good stuff

that's going to make you saw

and make dreams come

true gets overlooked.

So, I'm 17, a year away

from being an adult officially

and I would give the advice

to my younger self

of not being scared.

Not mind so much about

what other people say

about you think about your ideas.

Don't let anyone hold you back.

We are all individuals,

we all have different lives.

We have that one life,

you've got to live it and you've

just got to enjoy everything you do.

The way you dress,

the music you listen to,

the things you write about,

the things you read,

they are personal to

you and if they are important

to you, they are important.

Don't worry so much about fitting in

with everybody else, just stick to

what you're doing.

You can always do

it. Just do it!

Just keep your eyes

on the price.

So caring what other

people think.

Happy International

Women's Day, Newsround!

OK, time for a quick round-up

of some of the day's sports stories.

England's women just

missed out on winning,

the SheBelieves Cup in America -

Karen Bardsley's own goal

meant the USA won 1-0

and won the tournament.

It went from celebrations

to heartbreak for Spurs,

in the Champions League.

Despite controlling the first half,

they were knocked out

by the Italian Champions Juventus at

Wembley.

The 2-1 home defeat,

means they go out 4-3 on aggregate.

Paulo Dy-bala scoring

the winning goal for Juve.

The 2-1 home defeat,

means they go out 4-3 on aggregate.

Paulo Dybala scoring

the winning goal for Juve.

Manchester City could afford

to put their feet up at home

to Barsel - they had a 4 nil lead

from the away leg and

so despite actually losing

2-1 at home last night,

they still cruise through,

on aggregate, becoming

the second English side

through to the quarter finals.

You might think you're pretty

good at keepie uppies,

but I bet you're not this good.

When you want to practice your footy

skills, you might head

into your back garden or a local

park, but what about heading up

Mount Everest with your ball?

What?!

The world's tallest mountain?

Oh, yeah!

King of the keepie-uppies

and football freestyler

John Farnworth set himself that

challenge after travelling

all the way to Nepal in Asia.

He's been juggling

a football with his feet

all the way up to base camp.

That's where mountaineers start

their climb to the top of Everest.

Challenges along the way,

apart from the obvious one

of keeping a ball under control up

a mountain, included cold nights

and feeling light-headed

because of how high he was.

He reached 5,000 metres,

so what better way to help him keep

going than an ice bath?!

Brrr!

He's had a good reason

for doing it though -

it's in memory of his grandad,

who helped him get into football.

John is also hoping he might

set a new world record.

Well, we're definitely impressed.

As it's International Women's Day,

why not head to Newsround

online to take our quiz.

It'll tell you which inspirational

woman you're most like.

I got Beyonce!

So who will you get?

Plus meet the six-year-old star

of an Oscar winning film.

You superstar, Maisie!

That's all for now.

Enjoy your brekkie.

See you in just over half-an-hour.
