0:00:15 > 0:00:17Hi, Ricky here with your Newsround hit this Saturday morning.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21And first up, imagine living in darkness for more than a month.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Well, for people living in Murmansk in Northern Russia,
0:00:23 > 0:00:25that is the norm.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28But this week, the sun has finally risen after 40 days
0:00:28 > 0:00:30of pitch black skies.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34The sunrise attracted large crowds who gathered on hilltops.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37The first daylight of the year doesn't last long,
0:00:37 > 0:00:40with the sun disappearing again after half an hour.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43The city is so far north that people there live in continuous darkness
0:00:43 > 0:00:45from the beginning of December all the way through
0:00:45 > 0:00:50to early January.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Now, some freaky space news, because scientists have made
0:00:52 > 0:00:55a discovery about black holes and how they eat and burp -
0:00:55 > 0:00:56just like humans!
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Martin has got more...
0:00:57 > 0:00:59And I should warn you, there's some pretty gross burps
0:00:59 > 0:01:03sounds in this one.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06BURP!
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Rude!
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Turns out black holes have bad table manners.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Imagine someone having dinner and the eating and burping.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16They are so gross that the old burp stink is still in the air
0:01:16 > 0:01:22while they keep eating and then they burp again.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26But scientists have found that's what a black hole does, too.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that
0:01:31 > 0:01:35even light cannot get out.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38When cosmic gas comes near it, it gets sucked in and then some
0:01:38 > 0:01:40energy is released back out, just like a burp.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41BURP!
0:01:41 > 0:01:42That's nasty.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45BURP!
0:01:45 > 0:01:49OK, enough.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Head online for loads more top stories and to find out what pet
0:01:53 > 0:01:57cats across the UK have been watching on TV this week.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59History has been made in Saudi Arabia after women
0:01:59 > 0:02:01were allowed into a stadium, to watch a football match,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03for the very first time yesterday.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Around 300 women flocked to the Pearl stadium in Jeddah to watch
0:02:06 > 0:02:07the Saudi Premier League game.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10They had to enter via a special gate and sit in seats
0:02:10 > 0:02:11reserved for familes.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Spare a thought for the fans supporting Al Batin though,
0:02:13 > 0:02:19their team lost 5-nil.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Check out these incredible pictures of snow falling in Japan.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Weather experts there say the snowfall has broken records
0:02:24 > 0:02:25in parts of Northern and Japan.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Some areas has had eight times the average snowfall
0:02:28 > 0:02:29for this time of year.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31More than 400 passengers were stranded on a train...
0:02:31 > 0:02:39that got caught in the heavy snow.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Finally, meet the latest recruit at a museum in the US.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Riley is a sniffer dog with a difference.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48The pup is being trained to sniff out bugs and other critters that
0:02:48 > 0:02:49could potentially damage valuable artwork and textiles.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52He's the first of his kind and museum managers say
0:02:52 > 0:02:54if he does a good job, he'll be paid in treats
0:02:54 > 0:02:57and squeaky toys.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58That's it for now.
0:02:58 > 0:03:04Enjoy your morning.
