live with your last Newsround this Sunday.

:00:00.:00:00.

First - there's a new face on Sesame Street.

:00:00.:00:17.

The people behind the hit show, which airs all over the world,

:00:18.:00:20.

have created their first Afghan character.

:00:21.:00:21.

Meet Zari, Afghan Sesame Street's new Muppet character.

:00:22.:00:29.

Thank you, Elmo. I am excited to be here!

:00:30.:00:36.

Her name means shimmering in Afghanistan's two official

:00:37.:00:39.

The showmakers, who live in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan,

:00:40.:00:45.

said they felt it was important to make the show's

:00:46.:00:48.

first Afghan character a girl, due to the way

:00:49.:00:50.

women and girls are treated in the country.

:00:51.:00:53.

Under the country's old leadership, women were banned

:00:54.:00:55.

from working and girls were not allowed to go to school.

:00:56.:00:58.

Now the total number of children at school

:00:59.:01:00.

in Afghanistan has risen from 900,000 in 2001,

:01:01.:01:03.

which has been at war for almost 40 years.

:01:04.:01:14.

But although a lot has improved for children today,

:01:15.:01:16.

It is hoped Zari will help make a positive difference

:01:17.:01:21.

Kevin Simm has won the The Voice in the final series on BBC One

:01:22.:01:36.

Simm impressed with his version of the winner's song,

:01:37.:01:41.

titled All You Good Friends, and his earlier performance

:01:42.:01:44.

He beat fellow Team Ricky contestant Jolan for the victory.

:01:45.:01:50.

Boy George's Cody and will.i.am's Lydia Lucy went out first

:01:51.:01:53.

after securing the fewest public votes in the finals.

:01:54.:01:58.

Crowds in China were treated to a spectacle

:01:59.:02:00.

Zhang Shupeng jumped from a helicopter 2,000 metres high,

:02:01.:02:05.

and flew over the 50-metre-long Yunduan glass covered bridge.

:02:06.:02:11.

The wingsuit has special fabric under the arms and between the legs

:02:12.:02:14.

to let the wearer glide through the air

:02:15.:02:16.

We've had some pretty weird news stories this week.

:02:17.:02:22.

So we've put them together in one helpful hit, just for you.

:02:23.:02:25.

Here is this week's "Strange, Stranger, Strangest".

:02:26.:02:35.

but it is a giant leap for man's best friend.

:02:36.:02:41.

Sam, the cuddly dog, was sent 15 miles up to the edge of

:02:42.:02:44.

Schoolkids attached him to a helium balloon,

:02:45.:02:51.

a GPS tracker and a camera and released him into the sky.

:02:52.:02:56.

The balloon and tracker have come back down to earth,

:02:57.:02:59.

Next, feathers were flying at this giant pillow fight in the US.

:03:00.:03:16.

People all over the world got together to battle it out in

:03:17.:03:19.

They were told to dress up in a costume and to bring along

:03:20.:03:25.

Looks like they've had the stuffing

:03:26.:03:28.

Finally, to the little Chihuahua being hounded by the police.

:03:29.:03:39.

A patrol officer on a motorbike chased the dog across

:03:40.:03:41.

The runaway pup was eventually rescued and taken to a nearby

:03:42.:03:47.

animal shelter, to recover from his adventure.

:03:48.:03:52.

it's my favourite story of the week -

:03:53.:04:05.

that was sent up to the edge of space

:04:06.:04:08.

for a school science project and got lost.

:04:09.:04:10.

I caught up with the children involved.

:04:11.:04:20.

When he was going up, we saw the pictures of him, then we saw more

:04:21.:04:27.

pictures up higher. You could see the atmosphere. It shows the world

:04:28.:04:34.

is curved. It was so cool! But because of the wind being so strong,

:04:35.:04:41.

it pushed it about. Sam fell off. He has been missing ever since. What

:04:42.:04:45.

have you been doing to try to find him? To date we have been on the

:04:46.:04:51.

radio, it is going global because we have had calls from Canada and calls

:04:52.:04:59.

from New Zealand. It is like, all over the whole world. What should

:05:00.:05:03.

people be looking out for? They should be looking out for a little

:05:04.:05:08.

dog. The same as this. This is about as big as his head. Where do you

:05:09.:05:13.

think you might be? He could be anywhere but we know he will not go

:05:14.:05:17.

in the sea because of the wind. He could be on top of a roof, which

:05:18.:05:23.

could be very bad. We might never see him again. What is your message

:05:24.:05:27.

for Sam? Please come back, because the school needs you as our mascot

:05:28.:05:33.

and it would help us a lot. If you're out there, Sam, Bach for

:05:34.:05:34.

help! -- bark. That's all from the weekend team,

:05:35.:05:37.

but Newsround is back, right here tomorrow morning,

:05:38.:05:40.

when winner of The Voice, Kevin Simm, will be

:05:41.:05:42.

live on the sofa. Bet you can't answer question nine.

:05:43.:05:47.

Bye!

:05:48.:05:53.
