23/01/2018 Newsround

Morning, guys.

It's Tuesday, I'm Martin

and this is Newsround.

First today...

Huge news.

A British man who's not Andy Murray

has just reached the semi-finals

of one of tennis's

biggest competitions.

We're of course talking

about Yorkshire's Kyle Edmund!

He's just beaten one of the best

players in the world,

Grigor Dimitrov, to reach the last

four in the Australian Open.

This is the first time Kyle has ever

reached this stage in a Grand Slam

tournament and he'll face either

Rafael Nadal or Marin

Cilic on Thursday.

Liverpool's 18 match unbeaten run

was ended with a one-nil

defeat to Swansea City,

who are sitting bottom

of the Premier League.

Alfie Mawson scored the crucial goal

of the game at the Liberty Stadium

to help his side move

to within three points of safety.

Transfer news now.

Manchester United have

finally announced that

Alexis Sanchez is joining

them from Arsenal.

But they had a pretty unusual way

of revealing the news.

Check out this video they released

on social media showing Chilean

forward apparently playing

Glory Glory Man United

on the piano.

Was he actually playing?

I don't know!

Next, millions of people

around the world

are obsessed with slime.

But why is it such a hit?

Well, one person who might

know is 16-year-old

slime superstar, Alyssa.

Check this out!

I think slime has become so popular

because it's creative and it's

interesting and it's something

different than what we usually see.

I actually try to stick my slime

making only on the weekends, because

during the week I'm

really busy at school.

I've been making it forever,

since I was little, with my mom and

sometimes in science classes.

The basic components

of slime is your

glue base, your PVA glue,

and then your activator consists

of laundry detergent.

A surprising ingredient in slime

is usually shaving cream,

it actually makes it super fluffy

and fun to play with.

A big thing with my page

is that I like to have

a lot of variety.

I don't like to just stick

to clear slime or white

glue.

I know for people who don't know

slime this might seem, like,

crazy.

Here I have a bunch of pigments,

glitter, microbeads, some

scents.

Lots of foam beads

that I buy online.

Foaming hand soap, lotion,

contact lens solution,

shaving cream.

I just think that people find it

intriguing and really

satisfying.

Satisfying is probably one

of the biggest things people say

about slime.

Now to the Philppines in Asia

and to one of the most watched

volcanos in the word.

After a slow leaking of smoke

and lava over the last few weeks,

a big cloud of smoke burst out

of the Mayon volcano yesterday,

which was followed by loads of lava

pouring out overnight.

People who live nearby

have already been moved

to safer areas after fears

of a big eruption coming.

Last up to a boy who's found

an EGGcellent way of making wee

a bit of extra pocket money.

Most kids want a puppy

or a kitten as a pet.

But not Avi.

He wanted chickens.

I like keeping them

because it's fun to, like, play

with them, and I give them cuddles.

Here's your breakfast!

Every morning and night

after school, Avi braves

the weather to look after his hens.

We have to clear the poo

in the coop, we have

to fill the water and

food up, collect the eggs.

But they're not just pets any more.

Avi realised he could

make some extra

money selling their eggs.

So we started off

with four hens, and now

we've increased to 56.

We get orders, we've

got a Facebook page

and we deliver them every week.

And the whole family's

got involved with

his egg selling business.

His parents are the

delivery drivers and

his brothers help with packing them.

I didn't think it would

get this big so soon.

So it's...

I'm proud of my brother.

So what's so special

about Avi's eggs?

Our chickens are well loved.

All day they can walk

around the grass and

eat all the bugs, and our

yolk is really orange.

Looks like you're running

an absolutely cracking

business, Avi!

That is making me hungry!

That's it from me, guys,

I'll be back at 08:20am.

See you then.
