At the top because all about those three teams, Liverpool, Manchester

City and Chelsea, but Chelsea could go top if they win and Liverpool

lose. It's Friday the 18th April. I'm

Ayshah kicking off your weekend with some of this on the way.

We investigate the rise of super-sized rodents in some of our

towns and cities. Plus...

But first, a new planet has been discovered that scientists say it's

the most Earth-like one ever found. It's Called Kepler 186 F and was

discovered by US space agency NASA. They're excited because it's only

just bigger than Earth and has the potential to hold water, meaning

there is an area on the surface where scientists say life could

survive. This planet Kepler 186 F orbits a

star which is cooler and dimmer than the sun. So while we may have found

a planet that is the same size as Earth and receives a similar amount

of energy to what earth receives it orbits a very different star, so

perhaps instead of an earth twin we have discovered an earth cousin.

Super-size rats have been munching on takeaways and our rubbish and now

there are reports the oversized rodents are being seen more often in

our towns and cities. It's thought that wet weather has forced the

furry creatures into urban areas where they've been feasting on all

our scraps, and according to recent reports from one Southampton rat

catcher, how we get rid of our waste is allowing rats to get even bigger.

Nel's on the case. Rummaging in bins and eating fast

food. There are reports these scavengers are on the increase in

number and in size. There are an estimated 10.5 million rats in the

UK and it is the job of pest controllers like Sean, to catch

them. The last few months, they are getting better -- bigger. Where we

are going now is a private duty spot where there is a growing problem of

rats. Why are they getting bigger? It could be more people living in

our cities, the way we manage our waste and the wet winter and floods.

How have they affected it? The storm drains filled with water so the rats

have to get out of there and go somewhere else. We have not had

floods for a while but they have moved into this city is a bit

further, they will not go back if they have loads of food. Are the

rats getting bigger? Will they continue to grow? What makes an

animal change shape depends on what is around it. If there is a lot of

food to eat, there can be rats that can grow to be much bigger than they

are now, perhaps the size of a sheep or a cow. They have not evolved to

become bigger, they have not changed from rats a few hundred years ago or

even thousands of years ago. There have not been enough time for that,

they are simply well fed rats. Rat catchers are calling on the

government to allow the use of stronger poisons, but until then it

looks like they are in for a busy summer.

In other news, American President, Barack Obama, says he hopes a new

deal to try and calm the tensions in Ukraine will be put into action -

but he's not convinced. It follows a big meeting between key figures from

the US, the EU, Russia and Ukraine yesterday. They agreed that armed

groups supporting more Russian control should put down their

weapons and stop taking over buildings in the east of the

country. It follows days of clashes between those groups and the

Ukrainian army but Obama says it's up to Russia to stop interfering. So

how are things on the streets this morning?

Eastern Ukraine World up this morning wondering what this

agreement will mean underground. We have spent some time with protesters

yesterday and they feel very determined to carry on. So many

people were telling us they want this part of Ukraine to follow in

Crimea's footsteps. And you can find out what happened in Crimea and the

rest of what's been going on in Ukraine by checking out our special

guide on the Newsround website. And William and Kate have been

getting into the Easter spirit down under as they visited the Sydney

Royal Easter Show. The Royal couple were greeted by huge crowds and

admired the local fruit and veg before and watching a farmer sheer a

sheep in remarkable speed. Not something I'd be able to do.

We are back in half an hour 's and we will find out why one Briton's

best is out of Wimbledon. Head over to the website to see us out and
