0:00:06 > 0:00:08Hi, I'm Martin and this is Newsround.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10Keep watching for all of this.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12A legendary astronaut takes on your questions.
0:00:12 > 0:00:19And amazing bikers show off their skills.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26First, to the country of Zimbabwe in southern Africa.
0:00:26 > 0:00:31Here's Hayley on what's going on there and why it matters.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32This is Robert Mugabe.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35And yes, he is wearing a suit with a picture of himself on.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38He's been the leader of the country of Zimbabwe in Africa for 37 years.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41To his supporters, he's a hero who won freedom for his country.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43To others, he's a man who won't allow anyone
0:00:43 > 0:00:47to criticise him, and uses violence to get his own way.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51But now he's in trouble.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54The army in Zimbabwe has taken over running the country from him.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59All this matters because Mugabe has been in power for so long.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Under his rule there have been lots of problems.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06As a result, life is very difficult for many people, including children.
0:01:06 > 0:01:13What happens next will be important in deciding the future of Zimbabwe.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17And if you want to find out more about Robert Mugabe and what's

0:01:23 > 0:01:27Next, have you ever wanted to travel to the dark side of the Moon?
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Very few people have done it, but one of them who has,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34is former Nasa astronaut Al Worden.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Leah went to meet him and ask him your questions.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Hey, Newsround, I'm Al Worden.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41I've been to the Moon.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43I hold two Guinness records, one for being the most
0:01:43 > 0:01:44isolated person in history.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49And for doing the very first deep space spacewalk.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Back in 1971, Nasa launched Apollo 15, the latest
0:01:54 > 0:01:57in its rockets to the Moon.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Al Worden was the command module pilot.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04When Apollo 15 reached the moon two astronauts went down to the surface
0:02:04 > 0:02:07and Al stayed on board alone as he orbited the Moon
0:02:07 > 0:02:10for three days.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Al, can you tell me what it was like being so far away in space?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Yeah, it's isolated.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19We were in a little, small spacecraft.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Only about the size of a Volkswagen.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25I had two guys who were with me who went down
0:02:25 > 0:02:27to the Moon for three days.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29I had that Volkswagen all to myself for three days,
0:02:29 > 0:02:30which is kind of nice.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Imagine you are swimming underwater but there is no water.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34That's what it's like out in space.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35That's incredible.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Newsround viewers love space and they have sent
0:02:37 > 0:02:38in some questions for you.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42How long was the training process?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44We trained for three years just for my flight.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47That's after I got selected into the space programme.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50I trained for a year and a half as the back-up crew for Apollo 12,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53and then a year and a half on Apollo 15.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Three years training, just for one flight.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57What does space food taste like?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59We tried some 300 different kinds of food.
0:02:59 > 0:03:00It was all freeze-dried.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02It was quite easy.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06We just had to put water back in it and heat it up.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08There was lasagne and spaghetti and mac and cheese and all kinds
0:03:08 > 0:03:10of beef pies and stuff.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12It was OK.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15What's your favourite button to press?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18My favourite button to press on a spacecraft is the one that
0:03:18 > 0:03:22turns the engine on.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Then we can go somewhere!
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Yeah!
0:03:31 > 0:03:34What do you get when you bring dirt bikes and big ramps together?
0:03:34 > 0:03:38You get awesomeness, that's what you get.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Let me show you.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Personally, I think, even sitting on a bike is cool.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Never mind being able to do this...
0:03:49 > 0:03:53Oh my days, let's see that again.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54But how? But why?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Is this even possible?
0:03:56 > 0:03:58They're practically flying.
0:03:58 > 0:04:05MUSIC: Power by Kanye West.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07These gravity-defying showmen are taking part in the FIM Freestyle
0:04:07 > 0:04:10MX World Championships in China, where the very best dirt bike
0:04:10 > 0:04:12stuntmen get to compete against one another over five days,
0:04:12 > 0:04:16showing off their top tricks.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Whoa!
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Out of ten riders on day two, Frenchman David Rinaldo took
0:04:22 > 0:04:25first place after...
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Yeah, enough said.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29These guys are awesome!
0:04:29 > 0:04:35Honestly, I get scared if I go too high on the park swings.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41That's all from me, but Whitney will be back with loads more
0:04:41 > 0:04:51top stories tomorrow morning from 7:40am.
