0:00:03 > 0:00:08here's what's going on this Tuesday morning.

0:00:08 > 0:00:09Big news about Brexit...

0:00:09 > 0:00:11The bus that drives itself...

0:00:11 > 0:00:16And the miraculous birth of this baby bat.

0:00:24 > 0:00:27First up, there's a really important decision expected later about how

0:00:27 > 0:00:29the UK will leave a club of countries called

0:00:29 > 0:00:30the European Union.

0:00:30 > 0:00:36Here's our political guru Chris Mason to explain.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39This is all about a decision being made here by the UK's Supreme Court.

0:00:39 > 0:00:48It is the most important court in the land.

0:00:48 > 0:00:5111 judges have to decide who should be in charge

0:00:51 > 0:00:52of telling the European Union that we are leaving.

0:00:52 > 0:00:56Officially, the process is called "triggering Article 50".

0:00:56 > 0:00:59Once that has happened, the UK has got two years

0:00:59 > 0:01:00to get it all arranged.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03Some people think the decision should be made by those

0:01:03 > 0:01:07who make our laws, MPs, in Parliament.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09And the Scottish Parliament, the Welsh assembly and people

0:01:09 > 0:01:16in Northern Ireland want their views to be heard too.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19But the Prime Minister, Theresa May, thinks the Government shouldn't have

0:01:19 > 0:01:23to ask permission to say goodbye.

0:01:23 > 0:01:25We'll find out later this morning what they decide.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27But whatever they say, it's the next big step

0:01:27 > 0:01:34in what is a really important time for the future of this country.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38And don't forget, there's loads more info about what leaving

0:01:38 > 0:01:41the European Union could mean for the UK and how

0:01:41 > 0:01:42it's going to happen.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44You can also check out Ricky's explanation of all the words

0:01:44 > 0:01:50and phrases everyone seems to be using!

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Football now and an 18-year-old referee is calling for a national

0:01:54 > 0:01:57strike on the first weekend of March because he claims refs aren't

0:01:57 > 0:01:58getting enough support. Ryan Hampsen doesn't believe that

0:01:58 > 0:02:00referees in the amateur leagues are respected enough.

0:02:00 > 0:02:06He's been attacked and players often shout at him and use bad language.

0:02:06 > 0:02:08Although not everyone agrees with the planned strike,

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Ryan thinks it's the only way to tackle the problem and says

0:02:11 > 0:02:20so far he's had the support of more than 800 referees.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23We loved her at the London and Rio Olympic Games but boxing

0:02:23 > 0:02:26superstar Nicola Adams has said she won't be going to the next

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Olympics and will now turn professional.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32That means she'll be earning money by having big fights on TV

0:02:32 > 0:02:36rather than getting funding from Team GB as an Olympic athlete.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39She said the time was right.

0:02:39 > 0:02:44I wanted to leave the amateur game a World Champion

0:02:44 > 0:02:46as well as a double Olympic champion.

0:02:46 > 0:02:51So, I decided to stay to fulfil my goals.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54I wanted to be a double Olympic champion, World Champion and leave

0:02:54 > 0:03:00ranked number one as well.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03To tennis and Britain women's number one Johanna Konta says she's done

0:03:03 > 0:03:05everything she can to be ready for her first ever meeting

0:03:05 > 0:03:07with 22-time Grand Slam winner Serena Williams

0:03:07 > 0:03:09at the Australian Open quarter finals on Wednesday.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12Konta has won 18 sets in a row and she says says

0:03:12 > 0:03:17she's pretty excited to play Serena.

0:03:17 > 0:03:22She is one of the, I mean if not THE best player for us

0:03:22 > 0:03:26to ever have in the game, so I think to play against someone

0:03:26 > 0:03:30like that, who you also grew up watching, I think is another great

0:03:30 > 0:03:36opportunity for me to take a really mega load of experience from.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Meet Alice, she's 15 and has trouble seeing

0:03:38 > 0:03:40but now her life has been transformed by Billy,

0:03:40 > 0:03:42her very own guide dog.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44She's one of the youngest people in the country

0:03:44 > 0:03:50to be given one. Here's her story.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53It's the new term and there's a new face at this high

0:03:53 > 0:03:56school in Nottinghamshire - a very furry one.

0:03:56 > 0:04:01Billy the Labrador is just one of around 50 expert pups helping

0:04:01 > 0:04:03to guide blind children or those who have problems with

0:04:03 > 0:04:08therir sight in England.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10their sight in England.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13I think it's good because I don't have to constantly have

0:04:13 > 0:04:17people watching me. He gives me a bit more freedom.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19In the past, guide dogs weren't paired with children

0:04:19 > 0:04:22as they were thought to be too much of a responsibility

0:04:22 > 0:04:25for a young person. But now, the rules have changed.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28The amount of work you have to do with him and the

0:04:28 > 0:04:32responsibility is overwhelming.

0:04:32 > 0:04:38But if you put the work in, you get the results out of it.

0:04:38 > 0:04:39These two have been together since October

0:04:39 > 0:04:41and are getting on just fine.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44Having Billy in school just allows her to gain that

0:04:44 > 0:04:45independence, build resilience, confidence, and go

0:04:45 > 0:04:50through her school life as every other child would.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53The school had to create a quiet area for Billy to rest

0:04:53 > 0:04:55in and somewhere for him to walk.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58And he's been a big hit with the rest of the pupils too.

0:04:58 > 0:04:59He's a bit of a poser.

0:04:59 > 0:05:07They did say the novelty will wear off but everybody still loves him.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10You might have heard of a smart car -

0:05:10 > 0:05:15but this is a pretty smart bus, it drives itself!

0:05:15 > 0:05:16It's just been launched in France.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19It will go between two train stations to start.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22It can carry ten people at a time and uses sensors to figure

0:05:22 > 0:05:25out its surroundings.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27Zoo keepers at San Diego Safari Park are celebrating the miraculous

0:05:27 > 0:05:29arrival of this baby fruit bat...

0:05:29 > 0:05:31His mother had problems giving birth and staff needed to perform

0:05:31 > 0:05:34an emergency operation to save him.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36The surgery had never been done on a fruit bat before.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38Thankfully, 12-day-old Rodrigues is now doing really well,

0:05:38 > 0:05:46he's being hand-fed by staff at the zoo.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49That's all from me, Newsround's back with all the latest on Brexit,

0:05:49 > 0:05:54live from London, at 4:20pm. Don't miss it.
