Hi, I'm Martin and

this is Newsround.

Keep watching for all of this.

A legendary astronaut

takes on your questions.

And amazing bikers

show off their skills.

First, to the country

of Zimbabwe in southern Africa.

Here's Hayley on what's

going on there and why it matters.

This is Robert Mugabe.

And yes, he is wearing a suit

with a picture of himself on.

He's been the leader of the country

of Zimbabwe in Africa for 37 years.

To his supporters, he's a hero

who won freedom for his country.

To others, he's a man

who won't allow anyone

to criticise him, and uses violence

to get his own way.

But now he's in trouble.

The army in Zimbabwe has taken over

running the country from him.

All this matters because Mugabe has

been in power for so long.

Under his rule there have

been lots of problems.

As a result, life is very difficult

for many people, including children.

What happens next will be important

in deciding the future of Zimbabwe.

happening in Zimbabwe,

for loads more information.

Next, have you ever wanted to travel

to the dark side of the Moon?

Very few people have done it,

but one of them who has,

is former Nasa astronaut Al Worden.

Leah went to meet him

and ask him your questions.

Hey, Newsround, I'm Al Worden.

I've been to the Moon.

I hold two Guinness records,

one for being the most

isolated person in history.

And for doing the very first

deep space spacewalk.

Back in 1971, Nasa launched

Apollo 15, the latest

in its rockets to the Moon.

Al Worden was the

command module pilot.

When Apollo 15 reached the moon two

astronauts went down to the surface

and Al stayed on board alone

as he orbited the Moon

for three days.

Al, can you tell me what it was like

being so far away in space?

Yeah, it's isolated.

We were in a little,

small spacecraft.

Only about the size of a Volkswagen.

I had two guys who were

with me who went down

to the Moon for three days.

I had that Volkswagen

all to myself for three days,

which is kind of nice.

Imagine you are swimming underwater

but there is no water.

That's what it's like out in space.

That's incredible.

Newsround viewers love

space and they have sent

in some questions for you.

How long was the training process?

We trained for three

years just for my flight.

That's after I got selected

into the space programme.

I trained for a year and a half

as the back-up crew for Apollo 12,

and then a year and a half

on Apollo 15.

Three years training,

just for one flight.

What does space food taste like?

We tried some 300

different kinds of food.

It was all freeze-dried.

It was quite easy.

We just had to put water back

in it and heat it up.

There was lasagne and spaghetti

and mac and cheese and all kinds

of beef pies and stuff.

It was OK.

What's your favourite

button to press?

My favourite button to press

on a spacecraft is the one that

turns the engine on.

Then we can go somewhere!

Yeah!

What do you get when you bring dirt

bikes and big ramps together?

You get awesomeness,

that's what you get.

Let me show you.

Personally, I think,

even sitting on a bike is cool.

Never mind being able to do this...

Oh my days, let's see that again.

But how?

But why?

Is this even possible?

They're practically flying.

MUSIC: Power by Kanye West.

These gravity-defying showmen

are taking part in the FIM Freestyle

MX World Championships in China,

where the very best dirt bike

stuntmen get to compete against one

another over five days,

showing off their top tricks.

Whoa!

Out of ten riders on day two,

Frenchman David Rinaldo took

first place after...

Yeah, enough said.

These guys are awesome!

Honestly, I get scared if I go too

high on the park swings.

That's all from me, but Whitney

will be back with loads more

top stories tomorrow

morning from 7:40am.

Bye bye.
