:00:00. > :00:10.Good morning! I'm Jenny and you're with Newsround live on CBBC. Coming
:00:11. > :00:15.up over the next three minutes. Find out who Arsenal hammered 4-0 in the
:00:16. > :00:25.FA Cup. And the couple who had a BEARY big surprise on holiday.
:00:26. > :00:29.The rival sides at the Syrian peace talks will meet in the same room for
:00:30. > :00:33.the first time today. The government and the opposition both agree the
:00:34. > :00:37.talks being held in Switzerland are trying to save Syria, where a war
:00:38. > :00:40.has been raging for three years, but both sides have blamed each other
:00:41. > :00:43.for getting nowhere so far. One big thing they disagree about is the
:00:44. > :00:48.future of Syria's President Assad. The opposition say there will only
:00:49. > :00:51.be peace if he goes. The government says that's for the people of Syria
:00:52. > :00:55.to decide. Next, prepare for another wet
:00:56. > :00:59.weekend. More heavy rain is on the way over the next two days which
:01:00. > :01:02.could cause big problems for areas already affected by the flooding.
:01:03. > :01:05.Things are really bad in Somerset in the west of England. A massive area
:01:06. > :01:09.has been underwater for the past three weeks. In this village,
:01:10. > :01:13.families are having to use boats to go anywhere. Officials are calling
:01:14. > :01:17.it a major incident, which means the council can't deal with it alone,
:01:18. > :01:25.and could call in the military for help.
:01:26. > :01:28.Lucas Podolski was the star of the show in Arsenal's first ever Friday
:01:29. > :01:32.night match at the Emirates stadium. The Gunners made it look easy as
:01:33. > :01:35.they beat League One's Coventry City 4-0 in the FA Cup. German striker
:01:36. > :01:38.Podolski scored the first two goals. Arsenal go into the fifth round.
:01:39. > :01:42.Now to something a bit more relaxing. For the first time in its
:01:43. > :01:44.long history, a girls' choir has been created for Canterbury
:01:45. > :01:47.Cathedral. Girls from the surrounding area auditioned to
:01:48. > :01:50.become members of the new choir and this evening they will give their
:01:51. > :01:55.first performance at a service in the Cathedral. We've been to meet
:01:56. > :02:01.them. We have got to prove ourselves, just that we are as good
:02:02. > :02:03.as the boys. Two there is always pressure but I'm excited, using
:02:04. > :02:08.those nerves to build up my confidence. I am really excited, I
:02:09. > :02:12.think it is something I will remember for the rest of my life.
:02:13. > :02:15.Well, if you want to see more of that, head to the Newsround website
:02:16. > :02:19.for a full report from Nel. Feeling brainy? Then try our quiz of the
:02:20. > :02:21.week. And check out the weirdest stories of the past seven days in
:02:22. > :02:25.Strange, Stranger, Strangest. Last up, you might not be able to
:02:26. > :02:29.BEAR to watch this! Because a Scottish couple had a very close
:02:30. > :02:32.encounter with a bear on holiday in America and almost didn't notice!
:02:33. > :02:35.There they are, pottering around on a porch, but what's that behind
:02:36. > :02:40.them? Security cameras spotted what they hadn't. The cheeky animal had
:02:41. > :02:44.wandered up behind them. Luckily neither the couple nor the bear were
:02:45. > :02:48.hurt. That's all from Newsround for now.
:02:49. > :02:52.I'm back with our next update just before midday. Have a great morning
:02:53. > :02:55.whatever you're up to, and I'll see you in a bit. Bye!
