Well, sort of. See you!

0:00:000:00:08

Good morning, and welcome to Newsround, I'm Ricky.

0:00:110:00:14

First, a massive parade of Great Britain's Olympic

0:00:140:00:17

and Paralympic heroes is happening today in Manchester.

0:00:170:00:22

Loads of Rio 2016's stars are here in MediaCityUK today,

0:00:220:00:25

ahead of this afternoon's celebration through the city's

0:00:250:00:28

streets, before another parade in London tomorrow.

0:00:280:00:32

More than 150,000 people are expected to come out to watch,

0:00:320:00:35

and Paralympic swimming star Ellie Simmonds can't wait.

0:00:350:00:40

I'm very lucky that I've been able to go to three

0:00:400:00:42

after Beijing, and after London, and after Rio now,

0:00:420:00:45

so it's going to be great,

0:00:450:00:47

and to come here today in Manchester and then London tomorrow

0:00:470:00:50

to thank the people that supported us through the summer

0:00:500:00:53

of the Olympics and Paralympics is going to be exciting.

0:00:530:00:56

Very exciting.

0:00:560:00:57

Well, let's just remind ourselves of those unforgettable Rio Games.

0:00:570:01:00

Here's Jenny.

0:01:000:01:02

It was a massive summer for our Olympic and Paralympic athletes.

0:01:020:01:05

Years of training paid off, and they smashed it.

0:01:050:01:09

It started in the swimming,

0:01:090:01:10

where Adam Peaty got the first gold for Team GB.

0:01:100:01:13

Medal mania had begun.

0:01:130:01:16

Gymnast Max Whitlock brought home not one but two gold medals,

0:01:160:01:20

six golds were won in the velodrome, with Laura Trott leading the way,

0:01:200:01:24

Mo Farah got the double double, Nicola Adams defended her title,

0:01:240:01:27

and the hockey team battled their way into the record books.

0:01:270:01:32

Team GB had aced it to second place in the medal table,

0:01:320:01:35

and it didn't stop there.

0:01:350:01:37

From day one at the Paralympic Games,

0:01:370:01:39

the medals continued to roll in.

0:01:390:01:41

Kadeena Cox got not one but two golds in two sports.

0:01:410:01:45

15-year-old Ellie Robinson stormed to victory

0:01:450:01:52

in the S6 50m butterfly.

0:01:520:01:59

Jonnie Peacock held on to his T44 100m title,

0:01:590:02:01

and Hannah Cockroft added three goals to the tally.

0:02:010:02:03

And, of course, cyclist Dame Sarah Storey became

0:02:030:02:05

the most successful British female Paralympian ever,

0:02:050:02:06

after winning three golds.

0:02:060:02:08

ParalympicsGB newly doubled the goals won four years ago

0:02:080:02:11

and also finished second in the medal table.

0:02:110:02:12

Incredible!

0:02:120:02:17

Well, the parade kicks off at 4:30,

0:02:170:02:19

and Jenny will be live from there in Newsround at 4:20.

0:02:190:02:24

Moving on to these incredible pictures of a Chinese space rocket

0:02:240:02:26

blasting off from the Gobi Desert in east Asia.

0:02:260:02:28

It's sending two astronauts to China's new space station.

0:02:280:02:32

They'll spend a month carrying out different experiments.

0:02:320:02:38

Now someone who knows just what it's like to be in space is this guy,

0:02:380:02:42

British astronaut Tim Peake.

0:02:420:02:43

He's been travelling the country meeting children

0:02:430:02:44

since returning from the International Space Station.

0:02:440:02:47

This weekend, he met with Jenny here at Newsround HQ

0:02:470:02:49

to answer some of your questions.

0:02:490:02:51

After six months floating in space, Major Tim Peake landed

0:02:530:02:56

at Newsround HQ to a reception that was out of this world.

0:02:560:03:02

Olivia, who is nine, from Leicester, wants to know,

0:03:020:03:05

what does it feel like to be able to float around?

0:03:050:03:07

Yeah, floating in space is really liberating,

0:03:070:03:09

it's fantastic, as you'd expect.

0:03:090:03:12

When you first start, you're not very good at it,

0:03:120:03:14

and your legs and arms are flailing everywhere,

0:03:140:03:16

you kick things off.

0:03:160:03:21

When you get used to it, you can just push off with one finger

0:03:210:03:24

and float down the other end of the space station, it's great fun.

0:03:240:03:27

This next one you've already spoken about it a little bit,

0:03:270:03:30

but it's something that pretty much everyone wants to know -

0:03:300:03:33

how did you use the toilet in space,

0:03:330:03:35

and how did you get rid of the waste from the ISS?

0:03:350:03:37

It's a big one, it is a big one. Yeah, important question.

0:03:370:03:40

Right, so in space, to keep everything under control,

0:03:400:03:43

you must have airflow, airflow is the key,

0:03:430:03:44

so you have a little vacuum pump to the loo,

0:03:440:03:47

and that creates the suction so you can pee into the tube,

0:03:470:03:50

and it keeps everything going in the right direction.

0:03:500:03:52

And the important thing is, when you finished being,

0:03:520:03:54

you keep the pump running for at least 30 seconds,

0:03:540:03:58

because otherwise, if you switch it off too soon, then it has not

0:03:580:04:01

all gone back into the bucket.

0:04:010:04:03

We've got some questions from these guys, bear with us one moment.

0:04:030:04:06

Do you take teddies into space?

0:04:060:04:09

Actually, I took a teddy, I've got two young boys,

0:04:090:04:13

so I took a small teddy in for each of them,

0:04:130:04:18

and my excuse was it was for my two small boys,

0:04:180:04:21

but I had them every night with me so...!

0:04:210:04:25

Now if you haven't caught up on this weekend's TV,

0:04:250:04:27

turn the volume down now.

0:04:270:04:29

First up, on The X Factor,

0:04:290:04:31

we waved goodbye to 18-year-old Freddy Parker.

0:04:310:04:34

He faced Saara Aalto in the Sunday sing-off.

0:04:340:04:36

The vote went to deadlock,

0:04:360:04:38

and Freddy got the least number of votes overall.

0:04:380:04:40

Fans of the show were also treated

0:04:400:04:41

to the world-exclusive first play of Little Mix's new record.

0:04:410:04:44

Over on Strictly,

0:04:440:04:46

BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty failed to impress

0:04:460:04:50

the judges after performing in the dance off against singer Anastacia.

0:04:500:04:53

Naga is the fourth celeb to leave the show.

0:04:530:04:55

That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.
