0:00:03 > 0:00:06Hi, I'm Martin - this is your Wednesday morning Newsround.

0:00:06 > 0:00:09Coming up:

0:00:09 > 0:00:12The latest toys are revealed at a big show in London.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14Och, aye the noo!

0:00:14 > 0:00:18And you tell us how you're celebrating Burns Night.

0:00:25 > 0:00:29First up, there's been a really important decision about how the UK

0:00:29 > 0:00:32will leave a club of countries called the European Union.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34Here's Jenny with more.

0:00:34 > 0:00:37Six months ago, the UK voted to leave the EU.

0:00:37 > 0:00:41How this will happen has been argued over ever since.

0:00:41 > 0:00:42So the Supreme Court -

0:00:42 > 0:00:45where the most important judges in Britain sit -

0:00:45 > 0:00:47was asked to make a decision

0:00:47 > 0:00:50about who decides to tell the European Union

0:00:50 > 0:00:52that the UK is leaving.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55So, Britain is going to tell the EU it's leaving

0:00:55 > 0:00:58by using something called Article 50.

0:00:58 > 0:00:59And the Prime Minister Theresa May

0:00:59 > 0:01:01thought it should be the UK Government's decision

0:01:01 > 0:01:04about when to use it.

0:01:04 > 0:01:08But others thought that Parliament - where MPs make and vote on laws -

0:01:08 > 0:01:12should do it instead.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14The Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish governments

0:01:14 > 0:01:15also thought they should have their say.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18The Supreme Court has now said that its just the UK Parliament

0:01:18 > 0:01:22which gets to decide about Article 50.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25So now all MPs get to vote on it.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28They are expected to decide that the UK should start saying

0:01:28 > 0:01:31goodbye to the European Union.

0:01:31 > 0:01:38Theresa May wants that to happen by the end of March.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40And don't forget, there's loads more info about that big decision

0:01:40 > 0:01:44and what leaving the European Union could mean for the UK online.

0:01:46 > 0:01:50of the Australian Open by Serena Williams.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53Konta went into the quarter-finals on a nine-match winning streak

0:01:53 > 0:01:56but Serena was just too strong for her, winning in straight sets.

0:01:56 > 0:02:02Williams is now two wins from winning her 23rd major title.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04But the bad luck continues - defending wheelchair singles

0:02:04 > 0:02:07champion Gordon Reid is also out.
