14/11/2011 Newsround

I'm Leah live with a Newsround so action-packed you'll be talking

about it in class tomorrow, I promise. So much to get through.

Watch out for some of this. We find out why Britain's booming

deer population could be causing problems.

And what next for David Beckham? First, when you think of space, you

think of NASA's Space Shuttle. But now it's time to get to know team

Soyuz. This morning the Russian rocket started its mission to the

International Space Station. It's now the only way astronauts from

around the world can get there. Two Russian cosmonauts and one

astronaut from America are well on their way after taking off from

Kazakhstan earlier today. Two, one, zero, and liftoff - the final

liftoff of Atlantis. For years, space launches have looked like

this. NASA's shuttles became international icons - the A-List of

the space world. For 30 years they sent astronauts back and forth to

the International Space Station. But just over two months ago the

shuttle programme ended. It was too expensive. Hang on. There are still

astronauts floating about in the space station 250 miles above Earth.

So how are we going to get them back down?! Well, this is the

answer. Today the Russian Space Agency launched the Soyuz rocket

from a very cold Kazakstan. Onboard are an astronaut and two cosmonauts.

They've spent the last couple of months in training. This morning's

launch was tense. In August a similar unmanned rocket launched by

the Russian Space Agency crashed shortly after take-off. Russia

suspended all manned missions until they got to the bottom of what

happened. They're due to return to earth at

the end of November. If today's launch hadn't gone ahead, it would

have caused major problems. They would haves been forced to use an

emergency rocket to get home, leaving a floating science lab

unmanned for the first time in a decade.

So far things have gone to plan. The Soyuz will arrive in two days'

time equipped with supplies to keep the space station going.

Other news around today: Rescue teams have finally pumped

all the oil off of a cargo ship that crashed into a reef off New

Zealand nearly six weeks ago. More than 300 tonnes of oil poured into

the sea when the ship got stuck, killing more than a thousand sea

birds. Bad weather has made things tough, but officials say all the

oil has now been removed and a crane is being sent to remove the

ship's cargo. Now to one of the best loved

animals in the British countryside - deer. You might think hearing

news that more of them living in the wild in Britain would be a good

thing. But Joe's been finding out why some people think that's not

necessarily the case. They're one of the most elgamt

animals in the country, a symbol of the great British outdoors. The

number of deer living in the wild has risen massively. There are now

more in the UK than at any other time in the last 1,000 years. It's

around two million of them. It's great news for the tear, but -- dee,

but it looks like not other animals. What these gries really good at is

finding the foods they really like to eat, which is Brambles and

leaves, which is bad news for those that like to use these to make

nests. It looks like the birds are suffering. Species like Nightingale

- that's one species that relies on its habitat for nesting, other

species, for example, bluetit for speeding, so are moval can have a

big impact. Conservationists say it's not just down to the dee, but

it says this is the clearest sign the two are linked. They're now

trying to make sure that the animals can live side by side.

Thank you. Also today, Lewis Hamilton gave his

mum a birthday present she'll never forget by winning the Abu Dhabi

Grand Prix. The McClaren driver raced into the lead after a

puncture on the first lap forced world champion Sebastian Vettel to

quit. Lewis was thrilled to win, especially as his mum was there to

watch him. Let's talk David Beckham now. His

contract with LA Galaxy runs out very soon. So he could be on the

look-out for a new job. No doubt it'll spark a massive race to sign

him. And it's got everyone gossiping about where he might end

up. He's had more hairstyles than I could fit in a barbershop,

currently lives in star-studded Hollywood. He's played in England,

Spain, Italy and in America and picked up six Premiere League

titles two, FA Cups, a Champions' League medal and thela leaguega

title in his time, but it seems he isn't quite ready to hang up his

boots, and his Galaxy contract runs out any time now. Stkwhroom going

to know when I need to finish. That's not yet. Where could he go?

He could stay in America where his wife, Victoria, has become a

successful fashion steiner. But QPR and Tottenham would welcome him. He

even trained with Spurs earlier this year. There are rumours France

could be the next stop in his world tour. They have loads of manage and

might just tempt him with another crack at the Champions' League. He

wants to keep playing long enough to fulfil another dream -

representing Team GB at the 2012 Olympics. We all treatment and

think about it. If it happens, I would be honoured. At 36, he hasn't

long left as a player, but you never know. With his Hollywood

contracts, when he does call it a game, he wouldn't rule out a career

as a movie star. The name's Bond, James Bond.

Finally, if you didn't see it last night, here's another chance to see

Kitty's exit from the X Factor. The former Lady Gaga impersonator got

booted off the show after losing out in a sing-off with Misha B.

Three of the judges decided to send her home, but it's no surprise she

didn't go quietly. # I'm beautiful in my way

# Because God makes no mistakes # I'm on the right track, baby

# I was born this way! # In case you missed Demot's reaction there,

here it is again. And that's all we've got time for
