Hello, everyone, Leah here this Saturday with today's top | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
We've also go some of this on the way: | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
You help us countdown to the blast off of British astronaut Tim Peake. | :00:10. | :00:19. | |
Watching Newsround because we have been given exclusive access to | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
distribute come dancing studios. We'll speak to all of the | :00:26. | :00:39. | |
semifinalists. -- Strictly Come Dancing. | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
First this morning, to a country where women | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
But now in Saudi Arabia, in the Middle East, some things may | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
Today, women there will be making history and are voting for the first | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
It's what women here in the UK fought for years to do. | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
But in Saudi Arabia, in the Middle East, voting has been | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
something that only men could do - but now things are about to change. | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
Haifa Al Habwabi was one of the first to put | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
For Saudi Arabia, we are really a small country, so for me | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
Sometimes you can see tears in my eyes because | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
Women will be able to vote and also stand for elections - | :01:21. | :01:29. | |
so they will decide how the streets are looked after and how | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
But they still can't vote in the big elections to decide | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
who will run their country, and it's the only place in the world | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
Women may now be able to vote in Saudi Arabia, but there | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
is a still a long way to go before women and men there are equal. | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
The Strictly semi final takes place tonight, | :01:59. | :02:01. | |

who are battling it out to win the famous glitter ball trophy. | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
Georgie, I know you were in the dance off last week. | :02:08. | :02:18. | |
How did that feel to finally have that spotlight | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
But just had to come back this week and try harder. | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
It is a bit like tonsillitis but your | :02:29. | :02:41. | |
whole pharynx, so I've been a bit poorly. | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
Did you think you would get to this point? | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
When I look back at week one, and the | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
I can't believe how well it has gone. | :02:49. | :03:01. | |
I was thinking, you guys are missing a bit of a trick here. | :03:02. | :03:05. | |

They both dance, so especially my 15-year-old, who loves | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
She is in heaven because she is old enough to come along | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
to the studio, so she's been along, and she just wants to get as close | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
as possible to the professionals and watch what they are doing, | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
And then she drills me at home in the kitchen. | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
Being the youngest on the show, you've done so well. | :03:52. | :03:57. | |

tried to get you three wise men, there is fair. How lovely, thank you | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
