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. |
