Good afternoon. Jenny here on the day that the world

:00:00.:00:08.

paid its final tributes to Nelson Mandela. More on his emotional

:00:09.:00:12.

funeral to come plus... How the historic Chinese space probe

:00:13.:00:15.

has already started work on the moon's surface, and... Hello. I am

:00:16.:00:25.

Sam Bailey and I will be answering some of your questions.

:00:26.:00:32.

First, the world's been saying a final goodbye to one of history's

:00:33.:00:36.

most inspirational figures, Nelson Mandela. His funeral took place

:00:37.:00:39.

today in his home town of Qunu with more than 4000 special guests

:00:40.:00:42.

attending and millions watching on TV around the globe. It's seen as a

:00:43.:00:46.

fitting farewell for the man known as the "father of South Africa" and

:00:47.:00:58.

one of the greatest leaders ever. The national anthem of a free South

:00:59.:01:03.

Africa regained out for the man who made freedom for all possible.

:01:04.:01:08.

Princes and prime ministers, friends and family gathered for the final

:01:09.:01:12.

time to put his achievements interview. Today we celebrate the

:01:13.:01:22.

life that was Nelson Mandela. We salute you. You were a fighter for

:01:23.:01:31.

freedom. Goodbye, my dear brother. You were my leader. 95 candles were

:01:32.:01:40.

lit to mark his 95 years on earth, 27 of which were spent in prison

:01:41.:01:45.

fighting to free South Africa from apartheid. His grandson spoke about

:01:46.:01:54.

the impression his struggle and success had left on the world. It is

:01:55.:02:00.

through my grandfather that the world looked to South Africa. He

:02:01.:02:05.

sought to free like South Africans from oppression. We learned about

:02:06.:02:10.

the spirit of endurance and the Triumph of forgiveness. When the

:02:11.:02:16.

speeches and songs finished there was silence. It was a final moment

:02:17.:02:23.

to remind the world how much it owed to this man.

:02:24.:02:32.

There's loads more about Nelson Mandela's incredible life and why

:02:33.:02:35.

he's seen as so important over on the Newsround website.

:02:36.:02:40.

In other news China's robot rover has started travelling the moon's

:02:41.:02:43.

surface today after becoming the first spacecraft to land there in

almost 40 years. These are the latest pictures of the six-wheeled

:02:51.:02:53.

Iridum. It'll now spend three months gathering scientific data.

:02:54.:02:59.

Sport and things have gone from bad to worse for England's Ashes hopes.

:03:00.:03:03.

They were bowled out for 251 in the first innings of the crucial third

:03:04.:03:06.

test. Australia then piled on the runs and are now 369 ahead with

:03:07.:03:10.

seven men still to bat. England will still have another go in bat, but it

:03:11.:03:14.

looks unlikely that they can avoid the defeat that would make it three

:03:15.:03:18.

nil in the best-of-five series. In football, Premier League team

:03:19.:03:21.

West Brom have sacked manager Steve Clarke. He took them to eighth last

season, their highest finish ever, but they've lost their last four

:03:25.:03:30.

games. By tonight we'll know who's been

:03:31.:03:33.

crowned X Factor winner 2013. Sam Bailey is being hotly tipped to take

:03:34.:03:36.

the title after wowing the judges week in, week out. So we caught up

:03:37.:03:41.

with her this week to ask the questions you want answering. It is

:03:42.:03:52.

like a roller coasters arrived. Being out there and singing is the

:03:53.:04:03.

best thing that has happened. I am still going to carry on with my

:04:04.:04:07.

career as a singer. This is a massive platform to move on so to

:04:08.:04:12.

move on and do something, it gives me that space. But I love my job as

:04:13.:04:18.

a prison officer and I want to be a support network for the prison

:04:19.:04:22.

service. It is really tough to be away from home and I miss my family.

:04:23.:04:28.

They are the reason I am doing this. The children love the show. But they

:04:29.:04:33.

do not worry about me. They want to see everyone else. There has been

:04:34.:04:40.

loads of moments where I have almost forgotten my lines and they have

:04:41.:04:43.

come into my head as I am about to send them and that is horrible! So,

:04:44.:04:50.

yes, it is quite nerve wracking but you just have to get on with it.

:04:51.:04:55.

That is show business. The best coach is Sharon Osbourne. She is

:04:56.:05:01.

amazing. She is really supportive. We have a real laugh together. The

:05:02.:05:08.

song I would have on my album would be the first song I sang in the

:05:09.:05:17.

audition which is Listen. My voice has come on so much in this

:05:18.:05:21.

competition because I have heard singing lessons. I would like to

:05:22.:05:24.

send out when again and put it on the album because it would be

:05:25.:05:30.

different. Thank you for sending in -- sending in your questions.

:05:31.:05:33.

That's it from me today but on the day the world said goodbye to Madiba

:05:34.:05:37.

I'll leave you with these images from his life.
