0:00:08 > 0:00:09Hi, I'm Ricky.

0:00:09 > 0:00:13Here's what we've got for you this Saturday afternoon:

0:00:13 > 0:00:16Sigrid's here in the Newsround studio fresh from being named

0:00:16 > 0:00:21the BBC's Sound of 2018, plus...

0:00:21 > 0:00:24This baby panda's first public appearance.

0:00:24 > 0:00:30Keep watching.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38First, though, history has been made in Saudi Arabia after women

0:00:38 > 0:00:41were allowed to attend a football match for

0:00:41 > 0:00:44the very first time yesterday.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47The country follows a strict brand of Islamic law which says that men

0:00:47 > 0:00:49and women should be kept separate, and that women should

0:00:49 > 0:00:52have a male guardian, like a relative or husband.

0:00:52 > 0:00:56Around 300 women flocked to the Pearl Stadium in Jeddah to watch

0:00:56 > 0:00:58the Saudi Premier League game.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01They had to enter through a special gate and sit in seats

0:01:01 > 0:01:04separated from the rest of the stadium by glass.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07Spare a thought for the fans supporting Al-Batin, though -

0:01:07 > 0:01:11their team lost 5-0.

0:01:11 > 0:01:13You can find out more about how the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

0:01:13 > 0:01:16is making changes to the lives of women online.

0:01:16 > 0:01:20While you're there, why not check out some of our quiz of the week,

0:01:20 > 0:01:22all about cool gadgets?

0:01:22 > 0:01:24We're really lucky to be joined in the studio by the winner

0:01:24 > 0:01:28of the BBC's Sound of 2018, Sigrid.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Congratulations.

0:01:30 > 0:01:31Thank you.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34You were only told this a few weeks ago, weren't you,

0:01:34 > 0:01:35that you were the winner?

0:01:35 > 0:01:36Just this Monday.

0:01:36 > 0:01:37This Monday!

0:01:37 > 0:01:38Yes.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41Let's take a look at that moment and see your reaction once again.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Have a look at this.

0:01:43 > 0:01:44You are the winner.

0:01:44 > 0:01:45What?!

0:01:45 > 0:01:48Number one.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51Oh, um...

0:01:51 > 0:01:53How do you describe that?

0:01:53 > 0:01:55It means a lot.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57What an amazing start to the year.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59How does that make you feel?

0:01:59 > 0:02:01No, it's really nice.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04I remember I was in an interview and we just had a small chat

0:02:04 > 0:02:07and suddenly he says, like, you just won.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09And I was just like, so put on the spot.

0:02:09 > 0:02:10No, it was great, so much fun.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13My team was there, so you can see that I'm looking towards them,

0:02:13 > 0:02:17that's my team, because they kept it a secret from me for a week or so.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19What does it mean for you?

0:02:19 > 0:02:21What will happen next now you've won this?

0:02:21 > 0:02:25It's a huge honour and we are going on tour in the UK.

0:02:25 > 0:02:30It's sold out, probably because of this as well.

0:02:30 > 0:02:31Yeah, just lots of things happening.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33It's very exciting.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36A lot of people say you're quite different to some of the other acts

0:02:36 > 0:02:38that are out there at the moment.

0:02:38 > 0:02:39Do you agree with that?

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Well, I think there's a lot of different acts

0:02:41 > 0:02:44going on, but thank you.

0:02:44 > 0:02:45Is that a compliment, do you think?

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Definitely, yeah.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Being different is great.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53I've received a lot of comments on how I am

0:02:53 > 0:02:55on stage and what I wear.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59You always look like you are having the best time and you're smiling.

0:02:59 > 0:03:03Some acts on stage don't really look like they care very much.

0:03:03 > 0:03:07I'ts genuine and it's because no matter what type of day I'm having,

0:03:07 > 0:03:10It's genuine and it's because no matter what type of day I'm having,

0:03:10 > 0:03:13because we all have bad days, definitely, it's not like I go

0:03:13 > 0:03:15around like this all the time, that would be inhuman.

0:03:15 > 0:03:16Weird.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20But when I go up there with my band, my best friends, and we do just

0:03:20 > 0:03:22look at each other like, this is our job.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24It's great, you just get into it.

0:03:24 > 0:03:25It's great.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27You lucky thing.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31Where do you see yourselves in the next six months, maybe a year?

0:03:31 > 0:03:35An unrealistic dream is to get a cat but I don't know

0:03:35 > 0:03:38if I have time for it.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40I would love to, because I'm really into cats.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43Can you not get a cat you can travel around with?

0:03:43 > 0:03:45I would feel bad for the cat, that's the thing.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49I don't know, I'm very excited for going on tour with my friends.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51We're going to Australia for the first time,

0:03:51 > 0:03:54hopefully see some kangaroos, and we're going to play

0:03:54 > 0:03:56Coachella in the US.

0:03:56 > 0:03:57That is pretty big, isn't it?

0:03:57 > 0:03:58That's a huge deal.

0:03:58 > 0:03:59Yeah.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01So we wish you the best of luck.

0:04:01 > 0:04:02Thank you.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05And we look forward to even more hits and hopefully an album

0:04:05 > 0:04:07as well at some point, too.

0:04:07 > 0:04:08Yeah.

0:04:08 > 0:04:16Thank you for having me.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18She is only 21 years old!

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Next, a Japanese astronaut has said sorry after wrongly claiming

0:04:20 > 0:04:22he'd grown an extra nine centimetres in space!

0:04:22 > 0:04:24But his body has been changing.

0:04:24 > 0:04:25Here's Ayshah.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28Astronaut Norishige Kanai hit the headlines this week after saying

0:04:28 > 0:04:32he'd stretched a staggering nine centimetres in space.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35That's the size of an average chocolate bar!

0:04:35 > 0:04:39But he's now admitted to making a measurement mistake.

0:04:39 > 0:04:40Whoops!

0:04:40 > 0:04:44Norishige has grown during his first month

0:04:44 > 0:04:48on the International Space Station, but only by two centimetres.

0:04:48 > 0:04:52It's quite normal for astronauts because there is zero gravity,

0:04:52 > 0:04:55which is the force here on Earth that pulls us downwards.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58Without gravity, the bones in someone's spine can expand

0:04:58 > 0:05:02and move apart slightly, leading to a small change in height.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04It doesn't hurt, though.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06But don't start thinking you can all go up in space

0:05:06 > 0:05:10if you want to get taller because it doesn't last forever.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12Eventually your spine goes back to normal when you

0:05:12 > 0:05:20come back down to earth.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22I've got to show you this extreme cuteness!

0:05:22 > 0:05:25This is Yuan Meng, he's the first first giant panda to be born

0:05:25 > 0:05:28in France, and today he's meeting the public for the first time.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31He lives with his parents at Beauval Zoo near Le Mans.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34He weighed just 140 grams when he was born.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37That's about the same as a smartphone!

0:05:37 > 0:05:41Now he's thriving and has been walking for nearly two months.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43And he's got friends in high places - Brigitte Macron,

0:05:43 > 0:05:50the wife of the French President, is his godmother.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53Our time's up, but we'll be back with you in an hour.

0:05:53 > 0:06:00See you then.
