:00:00. > :00:08.Good afternoon. Jenny here on the day that the world
:00:09. > :00:12.paid its final tributes to Nelson Mandela. More on his emotional
:00:13. > :00:15.funeral to come plus... How the historic Chinese space probe
:00:16. > :00:25.has already started work on the moon's surface, and... Hello. I am
:00:26. > :00:32.Sam Bailey and I will be answering some of your questions.
:00:33. > :00:36.First, the world's been saying a final goodbye to one of history's
:00:37. > :00:39.most inspirational figures, Nelson Mandela. His funeral took place
:00:40. > :00:42.today in his home town of Qunu with more than 4000 special guests
:00:43. > :00:46.attending and millions watching on TV around the globe. It's seen as a
:00:47. > :00:58.fitting farewell for the man known as the "father of South Africa" and
:00:59. > :01:03.one of the greatest leaders ever. The national anthem of a free South
:01:04. > :01:08.Africa regained out for the man who made freedom for all possible.
:01:09. > :01:12.Princes and prime ministers, friends and family gathered for the final
:01:13. > :01:22.time to put his achievements interview. Today we celebrate the
:01:23. > :01:31.life that was Nelson Mandela. We salute you. You were a fighter for
:01:32. > :01:40.freedom. Goodbye, my dear brother. You were my leader. 95 candles were
:01:41. > :01:45.lit to mark his 95 years on earth, 27 of which were spent in prison
:01:46. > :01:54.fighting to free South Africa from apartheid. His grandson spoke about
:01:55. > :02:00.the impression his struggle and success had left on the world. It is
:02:01. > :02:05.through my grandfather that the world looked to South Africa. He
:02:06. > :02:10.sought to free like South Africans from oppression. We learned about
:02:11. > :02:16.the spirit of endurance and the Triumph of forgiveness. When the
:02:17. > :02:23.speeches and songs finished there was silence. It was a final moment
:02:24. > :02:32.to remind the world how much it owed to this man.
:02:33. > :02:35.There's loads more about Nelson Mandela's incredible life and why
:02:36. > :02:40.he's seen as so important over on the Newsround website.
:02:41. > :02:43.In other news China's robot rover has started travelling the moon's
:02:44. > :02:46.surface today after becoming the first spacecraft to land there in
:02:47. > :02:50.almost 40 years. These are the latest pictures of the six-wheeled
:02:51. > :02:53.robo-probe rolling down a ramp on to the volcanic plain known as Sinus
:02:54. > :02:59.Iridum. It'll now spend three months gathering scientific data.
:03:00. > :03:03.Sport and things have gone from bad to worse for England's Ashes hopes.
:03:04. > :03:06.They were bowled out for 251 in the first innings of the crucial third
:03:07. > :03:10.test. Australia then piled on the runs and are now 369 ahead with
:03:11. > :03:14.seven men still to bat. England will still have another go in bat, but it
:03:15. > :03:18.looks unlikely that they can avoid the defeat that would make it three
:03:19. > :03:21.nil in the best-of-five series. In football, Premier League team
:03:22. > :03:24.West Brom have sacked manager Steve Clarke. He took them to eighth last
:03:25. > :03:30.season, their highest finish ever, but they've lost their last four
:03:31. > :03:33.games. By tonight we'll know who's been
:03:34. > :03:36.crowned X Factor winner 2013. Sam Bailey is being hotly tipped to take
:03:37. > :03:41.the title after wowing the judges week in, week out. So we caught up
:03:42. > :03:52.with her this week to ask the questions you want answering. It is
:03:53. > :04:03.like a roller coasters arrived. Being out there and singing is the
:04:04. > :04:07.best thing that has happened. I am still going to carry on with my
:04:08. > :04:12.career as a singer. This is a massive platform to move on so to
:04:13. > :04:18.move on and do something, it gives me that space. But I love my job as
:04:19. > :04:22.a prison officer and I want to be a support network for the prison
:04:23. > :04:28.service. It is really tough to be away from home and I miss my family.
:04:29. > :04:33.They are the reason I am doing this. The children love the show. But they
:04:34. > :04:40.do not worry about me. They want to see everyone else. There has been
:04:41. > :04:43.loads of moments where I have almost forgotten my lines and they have
:04:44. > :04:50.come into my head as I am about to send them and that is horrible! So,
:04:51. > :04:55.yes, it is quite nerve wracking but you just have to get on with it.
:04:56. > :05:01.That is show business. The best coach is Sharon Osbourne. She is
:05:02. > :05:08.amazing. She is really supportive. We have a real laugh together. The
:05:09. > :05:17.song I would have on my album would be the first song I sang in the
:05:18. > :05:21.audition which is Listen. My voice has come on so much in this
:05:22. > :05:24.competition because I have heard singing lessons. I would like to
:05:25. > :05:30.send out when again and put it on the album because it would be
:05:31. > :05:33.different. Thank you for sending in -- sending in your questions.
:05:34. > :05:37.That's it from me today but on the day the world said goodbye to Madiba
:05:38. > :05:45.I'll leave you with these images from his life.
