Chelsea and Everton but Arsenal have a game in hand against Aston Villa

:00:00.:00:00.

and a win against them will see them back on top. Hi, I'm Ayshah with

:00:00.:00:08.

your Monday morning Newsround. On today's show, a six storey car park

:00:09.:00:12.

crashes to earth. And loads of you tune in for the new look Voice.

:00:13.:00:19.

First to tennis, and within three hours of the Australian open

:00:20.:00:24.

starting, the British women were out. Laura Robson and Heather Watson

:00:25.:00:29.

both lost their matches on the very first day. Laura looked disappointed

:00:30.:00:40.

as she faced the press after her match. She lost the first ten

:00:41.:00:43.

points, and things didn't get much better. It took Belgium's Kirsten

:00:44.:00:46.

Flipkens just 50 minutes to win 6-3, 6-0. It is so difficult to

:00:47.:00:52.

transition from the things you are working on in training into a match,

:00:53.:00:59.

but I did not play well. I've had amazing support today and was upset

:01:00.:01:04.

that could not play better for the people who came to watch. Britain's

:01:05.:01:07.

number three Heather Watson is also out, beaten by 31st seed, Daniela

:01:08.:01:10.

Hunchukova. Their match lasted a bit longer than Robson's at two and a

:01:11.:01:13.

half hours, but the Slovak still beat Watson 7-5, 3-6, 6-3. But

:01:14.:01:17.

Watson says she's pleased with her performance, considering she was ill

:01:18.:01:25.

with glandular fever last season. I feel like it is an opportunity lost

:01:26.:01:29.

for me. I'm really looked forward to this trough. I thought it was a good

:01:30.:01:36.

draw for me. But have played ten matches this year already and if you

:01:37.:01:39.

told me that last year, I would have taken it in a second.

:01:40.:01:42.

To Thailand now where thousands of protesters have closed major roads

:01:43.:01:45.

in the capital Bangkok as part of a campaign to overthrow the

:01:46.:01:48.

government. They've been marching through the streets and holding

:01:49.:01:51.

rallies since early morning. 18,000 security staff have been out on the

:01:52.:01:55.

streets to try to keep things calm. The protesters don't agree with the

:01:56.:01:58.

way the Thailand's Prime Minister, Yingluck Shinawatra, is running the

:01:59.:02:01.

country and they want her out of power. They've been campaigning to

:02:02.:02:04.

replace her government with a people's council since November.

:02:05.:02:07.

We'll know tonight who'll get one of the biggest honours in football, the

:02:08.:02:10.

Ballon D'Or. It's given to the player who's outshone the rest in

:02:11.:02:14.

the world and Jenny has been finding out who's in the running this year.

:02:15.:02:19.

The Ballon D'Or, one of the most prestigious prizes a footballer can

:02:20.:02:22.

get and it seems Argentina's Lionel Messi can't let go of it. He's won

:02:23.:02:27.

four times in a row and this year he's in the running for it again.

:02:28.:02:33.

The winner is decided by selected managers, players and journalists

:02:34.:02:36.

from around the world. And this year it's a tough choice. The Barcelona

:02:37.:02:40.

ace has shown no sign of letting up, topping La Liga's scoring charts as

:02:41.:02:44.

his side made off with the 2013 league title. And he's been just as

:02:45.:02:47.

great on on the international front for his home nation, Argentina,

:02:48.:02:50.

helping to secure their place in this year's World Cup. But can the

:02:51.:02:54.

other two on the short list, Cristiano Ronaldo or Franck Ribery,

:02:55.:02:57.

take it off him? 2013 was another goal-drenched year for Ronaldo. The

:02:58.:03:00.

Real Madrid star helped himself to 34 goals in the Spanish league last

:03:01.:03:03.

season. And even though Franck Ribery had a frustrating 2012, he

:03:04.:03:07.

rose to help his team Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga, German Cup

:03:08.:03:12.

and UEFA Champions League last year. His qualities could well inspire his

:03:13.:03:15.

home country France to get back into the limelight in Brazil this summer.

:03:16.:03:23.

But why is the Ballon d'Or so important? I caught up with our

:03:24.:03:27.

resident footie expert, Match of the Day Kickabout's Radzi. It's like the

:03:28.:03:34.

Oscars for football. Winning it means that you were legitimately the

:03:35.:03:38.

best player in the world. It gets no better than that. What is your

:03:39.:03:44.

prediction? Messi or Ronaldo, or does Ribery have a chance? More than

:03:45.:03:49.

one goal a game this year, for Messi. It is Rinaldo for me. Can

:03:50.:03:56.

Messi keep the title for another year or will Ribery or Ronaldo

:03:57.:03:59.

snatch it often? All will be revealed tonight.

:04:00.:04:03.

Now how about this for an impressive big bang. This car park in Newport

:04:04.:04:07.

in Wales was blown up in a series of explosions, but don't worry, it was

:04:08.:04:10.

all planned. The building can be seen crumpling floor by floor. The

:04:11.:04:13.

demolition of buildings marks the first phase of a new development

:04:14.:04:16.

which will include shops and restaurants.

:04:17.:04:21.

The battle of the weekend telly ratings is well and truly on. And

:04:22.:04:24.

it's been won by the new revamped version of The Voice. The BBC One

:04:25.:04:29.

show beat it's rival Splash!, which is on ITV, by getting more than

:04:30.:04:36.

eight million viewers. Tom Daley's Splash was watched by only just over

:04:37.:04:40.

three million. The Voice returned to our TV screens, with new coaches

:04:41.:04:43.

Ricky Wilson and Kylie Minogue making their debuts. The singing

:04:44.:04:46.

talent show suffered falling ratings last year, so it's hoped Ricky and

:04:47.:04:49.

Kylie will help bring in more viewers.

:04:50.:04:52.

That's it. Tune in at 8.15am to find out why astronauts on the

:04:53.:04:54.

international space station couldn't wait to open their Christmas

:04:55.:04:58.

presents after they were blasted into space aboard this rocket. I'll
