Hi, guys.

It's Tuesday, I'm Martin

and this is Newsround.

Coming up...

Britain's Kyle Edmund makes tennis

history in Australia.

We see some World Cup football

practice with a difference!

Plus...

The 16-year-old girl who just can't

get enough of Slime!

First today...

Huge news.

A British man who's not Andy Murray

has just reached the semi-finals

of the Australian Open.

We're talking about Yorkshire's

Kyle Edmund, of course!

He's just beaten one of the best

players in the world,

Grigor Dimitrov, to reach

the last four.

This is the first time Kyle has ever

reached this stage in one of tennis'

biggest tournaments and he'll face

either Rafael Nadal or Marin Cilic.

Liverpool's 18 match unbeaten run

was ended with a 1-0

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 stay in touch

with the rest of the league.

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?!

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

volcanoes 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.

Now, yesterday we told you about one

of Disney's leading ladies

was finally going to get her star

on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Well, here's Minnie Mouse

seeing her award for the first time.

She was presented with the award

by singer Katy Perry -

more than 40 years after

Mickey Mouse got his.

Next to a boy who's found

an EGG-cellent way of making a bit

of extra pocket money.

Watch this!

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!

Last up, in 142 days the football

World Cup will start in Russia,

but how do you test the pitches

when there's tonnes of snow?

Wellies, of course!

This is one of the new

training areas built

in the Nizhny Novgorod region.

Locals were asked to test

the new pitch but the snow

was so deep that instead of wearing

football boots they had

to get their wellies out.

I wonder how good Messi would play

in his wee wellies?!

That's it from me, guys,

Ricky is back at 4:20pm.

Have a great day at school.

And don't forget to head online

for the rest of the day's stories.
