It's just after midday, Ayshah here with your weekend Newsround | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
headlines. Coming your way: Archaeologists have a mammoth task | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
to move a one million year old skeleton. | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
And a lost baby seal finds itself in the middle of a Swedish city. | :00:15. | :00:25. | |
First up - It's FA Cup semifinal weekend and right now thousands of | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Arsenal and Wigan fans are on their way to Wembley. All eyes will be on | :00:29. | :00:32. | |
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger - the Gunners haven't won a major trophy | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
in nine-years and have only won four of their last 13 games. Arsenal | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
still go into the game as favourites, although Championship | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
side Wigan did win the trophy last year. The match kicks off just after | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
five. We are favourites, yes, but it | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
doesn't mean that you will win. You win when you produce a quality | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
performance. We have, in this competition, produced top quality | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
performances and let's continue with that. | :00:55. | :01:02. | |
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are continuing their tour in New | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
Zealand. The royal couple went to pay their respects at a war memorial | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
in a town called Cambridge. Thousands of people lined the | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
streets to see them. The Duke and Duchess will leave for Australia | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
next week. Cyclone Ita battered the coast of | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
Queensland in north eastern Australia, overnight. The storm | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
brought winds of up to 230 km per hour and left thousands of homes | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
without power. Cyclone Ita weakened as it moved down the coast and | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
although it caused some damage to buildings, there were no reports of | :01:30. | :01:37. | |
any casualties. Next up, archaeologists had a | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
"mammoth" task just before the weekend as they moved a skeleton | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
which was more than one million years old. The remains of a mammoth | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
- nicknamed Vika - were discovered in a coal mine in Serbia five years | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
ago. The archaeologists had to encase the beast in 60 tonnes' of | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
sand and rubber - to stop the bones moving about. Then, cranes and | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
bulldozers moved in - to transfer the remains to an exhibition. | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj and Rita Ora just some of the people you | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
think could be the next judge to replace Kylie Minogue on The Voice. | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
The pop singer announced she was quitting the show after only one | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
series yesterday. Watch out for the flashes. Kylie says she can't commit | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
to another series of the talent show because she's going on tour. There's | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
no news yet on who'll replace her but you've told us some of the big | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
names you'd like to see in that chair. Holly wants to see Jade from | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
Little Mix on the show because she loves the band. And James is hoping | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
it'll be Pharrell Williams because he thinks he'll make a great mentor. | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
Head over to the website to tell us who you think should fill Kylie's | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
shoes - and we'll read out more of your suggestions later this | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
afternoon. Thousands of people from all over | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
the country are getting ready for tomorrow's London Marathon. One of | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
those is Holly McHugh. The six-year-old was determined to | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
support her mum but, because she's too young to take part, she's spent | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
the past few months chalking up the miles so she can complete the | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
distance. BBC Sports Mike Bushell caught up with her. | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
It is 12 years before Holly McHugh can take part in the London Marathon | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
but that hasn't stopped her being inspired by the event. And one way | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
or another she was going to join mum in doing 26.2 miles this spring. For | :03:15. | :03:22. | |
over three months now Holly has been running mile after mile. What do you | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
love about running? I can go very fast. You can. I'm shocked to be | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
honest she has to stuck at it. From the age of six you think she will do | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
a few miles and say I have had enough now. She hasn't, she has | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
stuck to it. By Sunday afternoon Holly will have completed her 26.2 | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
miles, doing her final 20 metres near the parade on the streets of | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
London, albeit away from the marathon course. What is it about | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
the London Marathon? Have you watched it on the TV before? Yes. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
What do you love about it? It is funny because some people walk all | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
the way. Some people walk all the way, but you won't. What would you | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
say to people who say they can't do it? I imagine the finish line at the | :04:15. | :04:22. | |
end of the marathon. That is a great tactic. Holly is putting on a sprint | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
finish and I got left behind chatting. I will catch up. Holly! | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
Wait!. She has gone, there's no stopping here, and look, at the end | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
there is a musician here who has written a song dedicated to Holly's | :04:40. | :04:50. | |
marathon attempt. # Keeping up the fight as we crossed | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
the finish line. In other sports news - one of the | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
most successful coaches in British sport, Cylcing's Sir Dave | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
Brailsford, has been talking about his fond memories from his job after | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
announcing yesterday that he was stepping down. He was performance | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
director for British Cycling for eight years - helping Team GB to 16 | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
Olympic Golds but there was more to his role than winning medals. | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
A lot of what we did over the last period was about getting more people | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
cycling and more people engaged in cycling, moving the sport forward, | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
winning at the highest level, and I'm sure it will keep on going. It | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
was nice to be able to play a role in that and hopefully set up a great | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
team who can continue that success going forward. | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
A baby seal has been attracting a lot of attention in Sweden. It was | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
spotted in Sundsvall city's harbour after apparently losing it's way | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
while swimming in the Baltic sea. It's not unusual for baby seals to | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
leave their parents when they are two to three weeks old. The seal | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
population in the Baltic is big at the moment, so sightings like this | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
could become more common. That's your lot for now, last update | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
just after 2pm. | :05:57. | :06:01. |
