:00:00. > :00:09.Hi, guys. Jenny here, live with all of Saturday's top stories,
:00:10. > :00:14.including: The first rocket to reach the moon in nearly 40 years.
:00:15. > :00:21.The mud spewing volcano that's been erupting for seven years. This is
:00:22. > :00:25.Newsround. First to South Africa where hundreds
:00:26. > :00:29.of people have lined the streets of Nelson Mandela's home town as it
:00:30. > :00:32.prepares to stage his funeral. Young and old joined together in Qunu,
:00:33. > :00:36.where Mandela grew up, to pay their respects as his coffin is driven to
:00:37. > :00:39.the place where the ceremony will take place tomorrow. Around 4,000
:00:40. > :00:49.people are expected to attend, including several world leaders and
:00:50. > :00:55.Prince Charles. Those scenes show how much of an impact Nelson Mandela
:00:56. > :00:59.had on people. Ricky has been in South Africa and bed one person who
:01:00. > :01:08.says he owes Nelson Mandela a lot. -- met one person. I'm in
:01:09. > :01:11.Johannesburg, a very busy city here in South Africa. 30 years ago,
:01:12. > :01:15.around here, things would have been quite different. Back then, black
:01:16. > :01:24.and white people lead extremely different lives. They would have
:01:25. > :01:32.been shocked but white people, shops or just black people. It was known
:01:33. > :01:36.as a pas died. -- apartheid. This girl has come to -- this man has
:01:37. > :01:44.come to tell me what life used to be like for people here. I heard about
:01:45. > :01:49.apartheid from the adults. We could see it as we got older. Between the
:01:50. > :01:56.ages of six and ten, it was a bit hazy. We have the police coming in,
:01:57. > :02:04.looking for people, raids on certain houses. That was the experience back
:02:05. > :02:12.then. I knew of Nelson. I think most young black South Africans who grew
:02:13. > :02:19.up knew of him. In songs. That is how we kept his memory alive. When
:02:20. > :02:27.you heard he was going to be released, what was it like? I was at
:02:28. > :02:31.my cousins house. We were playing and the news came. Everybody came
:02:32. > :02:39.out on the streets. Celebrating, singing, and we were part of that
:02:40. > :02:42.celebration. This man is now a successful businessman. Without
:02:43. > :02:45.Mandela, it wouldn't have been possible for people like him to
:02:46. > :02:49.achieve his dreams living in South Africa.
:02:50. > :02:51.And you can watch our special Newsround report, Mandela's
:02:52. > :02:54.Children, with Ricky in South Africa, over on the Newsround
:02:55. > :02:57.website. Some breaking news now, and China
:02:58. > :03:01.have just become the first country in nearly 40 years to successfully
:03:02. > :03:04.land a spacecraft on the moon. The special probe, complete with a
:03:05. > :03:12.six-wheeled robot has just touched down. It'll now carry out scientific
:03:13. > :03:17.experiments on the moon's surface. It's the first step in their plans
:03:18. > :03:21.to send people to the moon soon. Now the tree is up, the presents are
:03:22. > :03:24.wrapped but no Christmas is complete without some festive music. By
:03:25. > :03:27.tomorrow, we'll know which of the X Factor finalists will join the race
:03:28. > :03:31.to be Christmas number one. But why is topping the charts at this time
:03:32. > :03:36.of year seen as so important? Here's Ayshah.
:03:37. > :03:49.Every year, we wheel out those Christmas past six from the super
:03:50. > :03:53.festive... To the super cheesy. And being Christmas number one can
:03:54. > :03:57.secure a place in music history. Every year, some of the biggest
:03:58. > :04:03.names in pop try to reach the top spot. Why did they all wanted? I
:04:04. > :04:07.think everyone wants a Christmas number one in the UK because it is a
:04:08. > :04:12.tradition, something we have been doing for over 50 years in this
:04:13. > :04:19.country. It is the big thing of the year. I have listened to it every
:04:20. > :04:25.single year. I want to be a Christmas number one. It is not just
:04:26. > :04:28.a great honour, recording a Christmas hit means your song could
:04:29. > :04:32.be played every Christmas for years to come. Who are the top contenders
:04:33. > :04:40.for Christmas number one? I think this year, the ones to watch our
:04:41. > :04:47.Leona Lewis with One More Sleep. They have put everything in this
:04:48. > :04:49.song that you have heard in every other Christmas classic song.
:04:50. > :04:59.Another one that might quite interesting to look at is Susan
:05:00. > :05:04.Boyle featuring Elvis Presley. I'm not particularly tipping it for
:05:05. > :05:13.number one but your nanny might buy it. Then, the X Factor women --
:05:14. > :05:20.winner. But it is not all festive cheer. And online campaign is trying
:05:21. > :05:25.to get 70s rockers AC/DC to the top of the charts in protest at modern
:05:26. > :05:28.pot music -- pop music. In sport, England's hopes of
:05:29. > :05:33.rescuing the Ashes are not looking good. They needed 385 runs to avoid
:05:34. > :05:37.losing the third Test but had four people bowled out by the close of
:05:38. > :05:43.play, with only 180 runs on the board. They're already 2-0 down in
:05:44. > :05:46.the five-match series. And a massive mud volcano that's
:05:47. > :05:50.been erupting continuously for seven years could stop sooner than
:05:51. > :05:55.expected. Scientists had thought the Lusi volcano in Indonesia would keep
:05:56. > :05:59.spewing out gas until the 2030s. But new satellite data now shows its
:06:00. > :06:03.likely to stop by the end of this decade.
:06:04. > :06:06.That's it from me. I'll be back first thing tomorrow.
