Hi, I'm Martin - this is your Wednesday morning Newsround. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
Coming up: | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
The latest toys are revealed at a big show in London. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
Och, aye the noo! | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
And you tell us how you're celebrating Burns Night. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:18 | |
First up, there's been a really important decision about how the UK | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
will leave a club of countries called the European Union. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
Here's Jenny with more. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
Six months ago, the UK voted to leave the EU. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
How this will happen has been argued over ever since. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
So the Supreme Court - | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
where the most important judges in Britain sit - | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
was asked to make a decision | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
about who decides to tell the European Union | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
that the UK is leaving. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
So, Britain is going to tell the EU it's leaving | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
by using something called Article 50. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
And the Prime Minister Theresa May | 0:00:58 | 0:00:59 | |
thought it should be the UK Government's decision | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
about when to use it. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
But others thought that Parliament - where MPs make and vote on laws - | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
should do it instead. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
The Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish governments | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
also thought they should have their say. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:15 | |
The Supreme Court has now said that its just the UK Parliament | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
which gets to decide about Article 50. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
So now all MPs get to vote on it. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
They are expected to decide that the UK should start saying | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
goodbye to the European Union. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
Theresa May wants that to happen by the end of March. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:38 | |
And don't forget, there's loads more info about that big decision | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
and what leaving the European Union could mean for the UK online. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
Tennis now and Britain's Johanna Konta has been knocked out | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
of the Australian Open by Serena Williams. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
Konta went into the quarter-finals on a nine-match winning streak | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
but Serena was just too strong for her, winning in straight sets. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
Williams is now two wins from winning her 23rd major title. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:02 | |
But the bad luck continues - defending wheelchair singles | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
champion Gordon Reid is also out. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
The Scot was beaten in three sets by Belgium Joachim Gerard. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
The Scot was beaten in three sets by Belgium's Joachim Gerard. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
There are now no Brits left in the tournament. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
Now if you love toys, you'll love this. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
Imagine a huge hall filled with all the latest latest gadgets and games. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
Imagine a huge hall filled with all the latest gadgets and games. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
The London Toy Fair is on at the moment and BBC | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
technology reporter Zoe Kleinman went along to check it out. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
From robot hamsters to electric scooters, there are hundreds of toys | 0:02:29 | 0:02:34 | |
on display here at the Toy Fair in London, including some | 0:02:34 | 0:02:40 | |
we've never seen before. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:41 | |
The these wristbands are coming out this year and they turn | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
you into a human beatbox. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:45 | |
Every time you move your arms, you create a beat. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
Are you ready? | 0:02:47 | 0:02:48 | |
Let's have a go, then. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |

you moving and also get you interested in music. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
The weird thing about this show is there are so many cool toys | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
but only grown-ups to play with them, | 0:03:12 | 0:03:17 | |
and that's because it is for shopkeepers | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
to decide what they want to sell on to you. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
So it may be a little while before you can | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
get your hands into one of these. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:26 | |

The famous 18th century poet is celebrated every year | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |

Today is Robbert Burns Day. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
Robert Burns was a Scottish poet. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:58 | |
We celebrate his birthday because the Scottish are very proud | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
of what he achieved in his life. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:02 | |
He was a very good writer. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:03 | |
He used the Scottish dialect. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:05 | |
Burns wrote most of his poems in Scotland, but his work has been | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
translated into over 40 languages. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
Och, aye the noo! | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
He wrote the tune for Auld Lang Syne and the poem the Selkirk Grace. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:20 | |
A traditional Burns supper consists of haggis, | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
needs and tatties. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:23 | |
neeps and tatties. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
Robert Burns wrote a special poem called Address The Haggis | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
which is sometimes read before the start of your supper. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
And there will be also lots of Scottish country dancing | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
happening at ceilidhs. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:35 | |
