:00:00. > :00:08.Happy Monday morning. Ayshah here live on the CBBC channel. On the

:00:09. > :00:17.way, a six storey car park crashes to earth. And loads of you tune in

:00:18. > :00:22.for the new look Voice. This is Newsround.

:00:23. > :00:25.First to a massive disappointment in tennis, within three hours of the

:00:26. > :00:28.Australian open starting, the British women were out of the

:00:29. > :00:32.singles' competition. Laura Robson and Heather Watson both lost their

:00:33. > :00:37.matches on the very first day. It leaves Andy Murray as the only Brit

:00:38. > :00:41.left. Laura looked disappointed as she faced the press after her match.

:00:42. > :00:44.She lost the first ten points, and things didn't get much better. It

:00:45. > :00:56.took Belgium's Kirsten Flipkens just 50 minutes to win 6-3, 6-0. It is

:00:57. > :01:03.all difficult. To transition from what you are working on in training

:01:04. > :01:08.into a match. Did not play well but I amazing support today. -- I had

:01:09. > :01:11.amazing support. Britain's number three Heather Watson was beaten by

:01:12. > :01:15.31st seed, Daniela Hunchukova. Their match lasted a bit longer than

:01:16. > :01:18.Robson's, two and a half hours, but the Slovak still beat Watson 7-5,

:01:19. > :01:20.3-6, 6-3. But Watson says she's pleased with her performance,

:01:21. > :01:31.considering she was ill with glandular fever last season. I feel

:01:32. > :01:38.like it is an opportunity lost. I look forward to this draw and

:01:39. > :01:42.thought it was a good drop. -- I thought it was a good draw. But I've

:01:43. > :01:46.played ten matches this year already, and if you told me that

:01:47. > :01:47.last year, I would have taken it in the second.

:01:48. > :01:50.Next the astronauts aboard the International Space Station were

:01:51. > :01:53.thrilled after they finally got their Christmas presents yesterday.

:01:54. > :01:55.They were blasted into space a month later than planned after a space

:01:56. > :01:58.station breakdown delayed things. These pictures show the robotic arm

:01:59. > :02:02.of the international space station helping the capsule to dock. It was

:02:03. > :02:07.packed with supplies, groceries and gifts from astronaut's families back

:02:08. > :02:10.on earth. The astronauts were supposed to wait until today to open

:02:11. > :02:12.the capsule but the six astronauts were so excited they opened it

:02:13. > :02:15.yesterday. To Thailand now where thousands of

:02:16. > :02:18.protesters have closed major roads in the capital Bangkok as part of a

:02:19. > :02:21.campaign to overthrow the government. They've been marching

:02:22. > :02:28.through the streets and holding rallies since early morning. 18,000

:02:29. > :02:31.security staff have been out on the streets to try to keep things calm.

:02:32. > :02:34.The protesters don't agree with the way Thailand's Prime Minister,

:02:35. > :02:36.Yingluck Shinawatra, is running the country and they want her out of

:02:37. > :02:40.power. We'll know tonight who'll get one of

:02:41. > :02:45.the biggest honours in football, the Ballon D'or. It's given to the

:02:46. > :02:49.player who's outshone the rest in the world and Jenny has been finding

:02:50. > :02:52.out who's in the running this year. The Ballon D'Or, one of the most

:02:53. > :02:56.prestigious prizes a footballer can get and it seems Argentina's Lionel

:02:57. > :03:04.Messi can't let go of it. He's won four times in a row and this year

:03:05. > :03:06.he's in the running for it, again! The winner is decided by selected

:03:07. > :03:10.managers, players and journalists from around the world. And this year

:03:11. > :03:14.it's a tough choice. The Barcelona ace has shown no sign of letting up,

:03:15. > :03:18.topping La Liga's scoring charts as his side made off with the 2012/13

:03:19. > :03:21.league title. And he's been just as great on on the international front

:03:22. > :03:24.for his home nation Argentina, helping to secure their place in

:03:25. > :03:27.this year's World Cup. But can the other two on the short list,

:03:28. > :03:32.Cristiano Ronaldo or Franck Ribery, take it off him? 2013 was another

:03:33. > :03:36.goal-drenched year for Ronaldo. The Real Madrid star helped himself to

:03:37. > :03:39.34 goals in the Spanish league last season. And even though Franck

:03:40. > :03:42.Ribery had a frustrating 2012, he rose to help his team Bayern Munich

:03:43. > :03:45.to win the Bundesliga, German Cup and UEFA Champions League last year.

:03:46. > :03:49.His qualities could well inspire his home country France to get back into

:03:50. > :03:52.the limelight in Brazil this summer. But why is the Ballon D'Or so

:03:53. > :04:06.important? I caught up with our resident footie expert, Match of the

:04:07. > :04:11.Day Kickabout's Radzi. It's likely Oscars for football. Legitimately,

:04:12. > :04:17.winning it means you are the best player in the world. What do you

:04:18. > :04:26.predict? Messi, Rinaldo Ribery? Ronaldo, more than one goal per game

:04:27. > :04:30.this year. You cannot beat that. It is him for me. So can Messi keep the

:04:31. > :04:37.title for yet another year or will Ribery or Ronaldo snatch it off him?

:04:38. > :04:41.All will be revealed tonight. Now how about this for an impressive

:04:42. > :04:45.big bang. This car park in Newport in Wales was blown up in a series of

:04:46. > :04:50.explosions, but don't worry it was all planned. The demolition of

:04:51. > :04:52.building is the first phase of a new development which will include shops

:04:53. > :04:59.and restaurants. The battle of the weekend telly

:05:00. > :05:01.ratings is well and truly on. We have all the latest on the voice.

:05:02. > :05:03.See you later.
