:00:00. > :00:11.Hi, guys - Ayshah here. Stick with us to find out which top team's bid
:00:12. > :00:14.?35 million for Mata. Plus, the paralympian who's on the road to
:00:15. > :00:22.glory despite a tough start in life. Stay tuned!
:00:23. > :00:25.But first - there's been angry exchanges on the first day of
:00:26. > :00:28.special talks aimed at ending the war in Syria today. Almost
:00:29. > :00:31.two-and-a-half million people have fled the country and a hundred
:00:32. > :00:34.thousand have died since the conflict between government forces
:00:35. > :00:39.and rebel groups, who want them out, started three years ago. The talks
:00:40. > :00:42.in Switzerland will bring the two sides face-to-face for the first
:00:43. > :00:46.time to try and stop the violence. But today both blamed the other for
:00:47. > :00:49.what's happening. The BBC's Imogen Foulkes is at the talks and said
:00:50. > :00:58.reaching any agreement will be difficult. The opposition wants the
:00:59. > :01:03.President Assad to leave power, the government doesn't want to discuss
:01:04. > :01:06.that. So, everybody is saying the negotiations will be slow and
:01:07. > :01:10.difficult. Moving on - Andy Murray says he's
:01:11. > :01:13.played as well as he could after being knocked out of the Australian
:01:14. > :01:16.Open today He lost his quarter final to Roger Federer in four sets,
:01:17. > :01:19.despite a brief comeback in the third. Murray said playing his first
:01:20. > :01:25.major tournament since returning from a back injury was always going
:01:26. > :01:29.to be difficult. I don't know how many players have come back from
:01:30. > :01:37.surgery and won the first Grand Slam, it is unlikely to happen. I
:01:38. > :01:41.need to use this as a stepping stone to getting better.
:01:42. > :01:45.It's being reported that Man United have made a ?35 million bid for
:01:46. > :01:49.Chelsea's Juan Mata. The Spanish star was voted the Blues' Player Of
:01:50. > :01:54.The Year for the last two years but has fallen out of favour with boss
:01:55. > :01:56.Jose Mourinho. Meanwhile Team GB's named their
:01:57. > :02:01.biggest winter Olympic squad in a quarter of a century for the Sochi
:02:02. > :02:06.games in Russia next month. There's a record 19 skiers and snowboarders,
:02:07. > :02:08.including freestyler James Woods. Ex-Olympic sprinter Craig
:02:09. > :02:14.Pickering's been picked for the bobsleigh crew.
:02:15. > :02:19.And joining them at the Games is likely to be US Paralympian Tatyana
:02:20. > :02:22.McFadden. She was born with a condition called spina-bifida and
:02:23. > :02:26.walked on her hands until she was six. She was then adopted and
:02:27. > :02:29.encouraged to take up sport and hasn't looked back since.
:02:30. > :02:33.Last year she won every paralympic athletics race you can imagine
:02:34. > :02:37.including the London marathon. Now she's trying her hand at winter
:02:38. > :02:49.sports and has just won the US trials. It is about the mental
:02:50. > :02:52.battle, putting that into sports or your personal life, I think that
:02:53. > :02:56.makes you I am. You can see much more about
:02:57. > :02:59.Tatyana's story on the Newsround website along with pictures of
:03:00. > :03:01.another big freeze in America. We're back tomorrow. See ya!.
