0:00:03 > 0:00:04Morning, Newsrounders.

0:00:04 > 0:00:06It's Sunday, and I'm Ayshah with your first

0:00:06 > 0:00:08Newsround bulletin of the day.

0:00:08 > 0:00:09Coming up:

0:00:09 > 0:00:11Could Scotland be the home UK's first spaceport?

0:00:11 > 0:00:23And England's cricketers battle back with the bat.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25First up, the Church of England is preparing

0:00:25 > 0:00:28for one of their biggest decisions - tomorrow's vote on whether women

0:00:28 > 0:00:31should be allowed to hold the top positions in the church.

0:00:31 > 0:00:33The organisation will decide if women can become bishops.

0:00:33 > 0:00:35A previous attempt to change the rules in 2012 failed,

0:00:35 > 0:00:39but it's hoped this time round there will be enough votes to allow

0:00:39 > 0:00:41the proposal to go through.

0:00:41 > 0:00:44After getting hammered by Germany last week in the semi-finals of

0:00:44 > 0:00:47the World Cup, Brazil had the chance to save some pride last night.

0:00:47 > 0:00:48Did they take it?

0:00:48 > 0:00:49No, they did not.

0:00:49 > 0:00:53The Netherlands beat the hosts 3-0 in the third-place playoff.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56A Robin van Persie penalty got them up and running.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59It now means Brazil have conceded 10 goals in two games!

0:00:59 > 0:01:01Ouch!

0:01:01 > 0:01:04But we all know that's just a warm-up for tonight's main event

0:01:04 > 0:01:05- the World Cup final!

0:01:05 > 0:01:07Germany take on Argentina.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10Germany are favourites, but then again, Argentina have this

0:01:10 > 0:01:12guy - Lionel Messi.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15South American footy expert Tim Vickery has sent us this report

0:01:15 > 0:01:19about Argentina's star man.

0:01:20 > 0:01:21Hi, Newsround.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24A year before Lionel Messi was born, Argentina beat Germany

0:01:24 > 0:01:26in the final in the 1986 World Cup.

0:01:26 > 0:01:30In the next final, when he was three years old, Germany beat Argentina.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34Now Lionel Messi is 27, at the peak of his powers.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37If this is the decider in a best of three, Argentina's best hope is

0:01:37 > 0:01:40that Lionel Messi can find a flash of inspiration

0:01:40 > 0:01:43and decide things in their favour.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Germany look stronger.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47To all of their traditional virtues, they have

0:01:47 > 0:01:50added more skill and imagination.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52They were more Brazilian than Brazil in Tuesday's unbelievable

0:01:52 > 0:01:53semi-final.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Argentina have yet to fire on all cylinders.

0:01:56 > 0:02:00But they've had a couple of days to try to get Angel di Maria fit, to

0:02:00 > 0:02:05get Sergio Aguero close to 100%, but their best chance is that in the

0:02:05 > 0:02:09biggest game of his life, Lionel Messi, that little man, can rub the

0:02:09 > 0:02:13magic wand and come up with a moment of magic. If not, Germany

0:02:13 > 0:02:17will be the first European team to win a World Cup in South America.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22No-one saw it coming, but England's cricketers have put themselves

0:02:22 > 0:02:25in a position where they could win the first test match against India.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28This time yesterday, England looked down and out, but a record-breaking

0:02:28 > 0:02:32last stand between James Anderson and Joe Root means England have

0:02:32 > 0:02:34a slight hope of winning.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37We'll keep you up-to-date.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39It's thought the Government could be about to

0:02:39 > 0:02:43reveal plans to base the UK's first ever spaceport in Scotland.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46A top minister has hinted that Scotland is being considered

0:02:46 > 0:02:50as the home for a dedicated port sending missions into space.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53It's hoped the plans will be up and running by 2018.

0:02:53 > 0:02:57It'll be the first spaceport outside the USA.

0:02:57 > 0:03:02That's all from me. Newsround's back just before midday.
