0:00:04 > 0:00:06Hi, I'm Ricky with your Newsround update.
0:00:06 > 0:00:14Coming up.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Sigrid speaks to Newsround fresh from being named
0:00:31 > 0:00:32the BBC's Sound of 2018!
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Plus...
0:00:34 > 0:00:35This baby panda's first public appearance.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42The Voice is back again tonight for its second
0:00:42 > 0:00:43episode of the new series.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Last week we got to see the new addition to the judges panel
0:00:47 > 0:00:48with Olly Murs taking his seat.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Tonight, we'll see Sir Tom Jones getting the audience
0:00:50 > 0:00:58going and the acts hoping to have someone turn round for them.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Next to someone you're going to be hearing a lot about this year.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Sigrid - she's just won the BBC's Sounds of 2018.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09The 21-year-old from Norway has got us all in a spin
0:01:09 > 0:01:10with her catchy tunes.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14She joined us in the studio earlier today and I reminded of her of that
0:01:14 > 0:01:16moment when she found out that she won the top
0:01:16 > 0:01:17BBC music prize.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18You are the winner.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23What?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Number one.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Oh, how would you describe that?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31It means a lot.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33What an amazing start to the year.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34How does that make you feel?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36No, it's really nice.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40I remember that I was an interview, and we just had a small chat
0:01:40 > 0:01:43and suddenly the interviewer says, like, you've just won, and I was,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46like, so put on the spot.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47No, it was great.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48So much fun.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49My team was there.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51So you can see that I'm looking towards someone that's my
0:01:51 > 0:01:58team because they had kept it a secret from me for a week or so.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00What does it mean for you, though?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02What will happen next now you have won this?
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Well, it's a huge honour.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05And we're going on tour in the UK.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06It's sold out.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Probably, maybe, because of this as well.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11And yes, just a lot of things happening and it is very
0:02:11 > 0:02:12exciting.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15A lot of people say you are quite different to some of the
0:02:15 > 0:02:17other acts that are out there at the moment.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18Do you agree with that?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Well, I think there's a lot of different acts
0:02:20 > 0:02:22going on but, thank you, I think.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Is that a compliment, do you think?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Oh, definitely, yeah, yeah, being different is great.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27I don't know.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30I've received a lot of comments on how I am on stage
0:02:30 > 0:02:31and waht I wear and stuff.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Because you always look like you're having the
0:02:33 > 0:02:36best time and you're smiling, and I think some acts on stage don't
0:02:36 > 0:02:42really look like they care very much.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43It's genuine.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45And it's because no matter what type of day I'm
0:02:45 > 0:02:49having, because we all have bad days, definitely, it's not like I go
0:02:49 > 0:02:50around like...
0:02:50 > 0:02:51All the time.
0:02:51 > 0:02:52That would be...
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Weird.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Yeah, inhuman.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57But when I go up there with my band, my best friends,
0:02:57 > 0:02:58and we just look at each
0:02:58 > 0:03:00other and we're like, "Oh, this is our job".
0:03:00 > 0:03:01It's great.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03You know, you just get into it.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04You like the feeling?
0:03:04 > 0:03:05I love being up there.
0:03:05 > 0:03:11Where do you see yourself in the next six months, maybe a year?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Like, an unrealistic dream is to get a
0:03:13 > 0:03:15cat but I don't know if I have time for it.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17I would love to because I'm really into cats.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Can you not get a cat you can travel around with,
0:03:20 > 0:03:21maybe?
0:03:21 > 0:03:22I'd feel bad for the cat.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Yeah, that's the thing.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25My dream, I don't know.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27I'm very excited for going on tour with my friends.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Going to Australia for the first time, and
0:03:29 > 0:03:31hopefully see kangaroos, and we're going to play
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Coachella in the US.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33That's pretty big, isn't it?
0:03:33 > 0:03:37It is going to be cool.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38That's a huge deal.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40So we wish you the best of luck.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41Thank you.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43And we look forward to even more hits
0:03:43 > 0:03:45and hopefully now, an album at some point, too.
0:03:45 > 0:03:53Yeah, yeah, well, thank you for having me.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56That was Sigrid talking to us a little earlier.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57So cool!
0:03:57 > 0:03:59There's loads more on the Sound of 2018 online -
0:03:59 > 0:04:01you won't believe some of the massive pop
0:04:01 > 0:04:02acts who've won it.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03Take a look.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06We're not afraid of talking about poo here at Newsround -
0:04:06 > 0:04:08but this is a stinky story, even for us.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Ah, a beautiful evening in a quaint English village.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Well, things aren't as lovely as they seem.
0:04:13 > 0:04:19Because this lamp could soon be powered by poo.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Brian is an inventor and he's made a special
0:04:21 > 0:04:23machine to turn dog poo into
0:04:23 > 0:04:27energy to power street lamps.
0:04:27 > 0:04:28This is deadly serious.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30So we've spent two and half years working on this
0:04:30 > 0:04:33in secret, to get the engineering and the science
0:04:33 > 0:04:34correct with it, which
0:04:34 > 0:04:36is what we have done.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38So how does that work?
0:04:38 > 0:04:45Lift up this dispenser and grab a free bag.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48You can have one, two, three, however many you want.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51So we can scoop that into the bag, and all you do
0:04:51 > 0:04:52is lift up that top cover, the
0:04:52 > 0:04:54whole bag, nothing is emptied, goes in there.
0:04:54 > 0:05:02Turning to handle pushes the bag into the machine, where the
0:05:04 > 0:05:07poo is broken down by microbes and this produces methane and carbon
0:05:07 > 0:05:08dioxide, which fuels the light.
0:05:08 > 0:05:14The lamp is a big hit in Brian's village
0:05:14 > 0:05:17and he's hoping that this machine can bring poo
0:05:17 > 0:05:18power to other parts of
0:05:18 > 0:05:19the country.
0:05:19 > 0:05:25Looks like it wasn't such a pants idea after all.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Finally - how's this for some serious cuteness!
0:05:27 > 0:05:30This is Yuan Meng, he's the first first giant panda to be born
0:05:30 > 0:05:33in France and today he's meeting the public for the first time.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36He lives with his parents at Bovall Zoo near Le Mans.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38He weighed just 140 grams when he was born -
0:05:38 > 0:05:46that's about the same as a smartphone!
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Now he's thriving and has been walking for nearly two months.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52And he's got friends in high places - Brigitte Macron,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55the wife of the French President, is his godmother!
0:05:55 > 0:05:57That's Newsround all wrapped up for today.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Remember to head online for your fix of what's going on any time at all.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05I'm back tomorrow.
