0:00:03 > 0:00:07Hi, I'm Martin - this is Newsround live.

0:00:07 > 0:00:09Coming up:

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

0:00:12 > 0:00:15Och, aye the noo!

0:00:15 > 0:00:19You tell us how you're celebrating Burns Night.

0:00:19 > 0:00:22And why this trick is breaking records.

0:00:30 > 0:00:33First up, there's been a really important decision about how the UK

0:00:33 > 0:00:35will leave a club of countries called the European Union.

0:00:35 > 0:00:43Here's Jenny with more.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45Six months ago, the UK voted to leave the EU.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47How this will happen has been argued about ever since.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49So the Supreme Court -

0:00:49 > 0:00:51where the most important judges in Britain sit -

0:00:51 > 0:00:52was asked to make a decision

0:00:52 > 0:00:54about who decides to tell the European Union

0:00:54 > 0:00:57that the UK is leaving.

0:00:57 > 0:01:01So, Britain is going to tell the EU it's leaving

0:01:01 > 0:01:02by using something called Article 50.

0:01:02 > 0:01:03And the Prime Minister Theresa May

0:01:03 > 0:01:05thought it should be the UK Government's decision

0:01:05 > 0:01:09about when to use it.

0:01:09 > 0:01:13But others thought that Parliament - where MPs make and vote on laws -

0:01:13 > 0:01:14should do it instead.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16The Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish governments

0:01:16 > 0:01:17also thought they should have their say.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20The Supreme Court has now said that its just the UK Parliament

0:01:20 > 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 > 0:01:29They are expected to decide that the UK should start saying

0:01:29 > 0:01:34goodbye to the European Union.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38Theresa May wants that to happen by the end of March.

0:01:38 > 0:01:43And don't forget, there's loads more info about that big decision

0:01:43 > 0:01:48and what leaving the European Union could mean for the UK online.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Tennis now and Britain's Johanna Konta has been knocked out

0:01:50 > 0:01:52of the Australian Open by Serena Williams.

0:01:52 > 0:01:57Konta went into the quarter-finals on a nine-match winning streak

0:01:57 > 0:02:02but Serena was just to strong for her, winning in straight sets.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05but Serena was just too strong for her, winning in straight sets.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09Williams is now two wins from winning her 23rd major title.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Well, I think overall, she played at a higher level

0:02:11 > 0:02:15than I did today and I think she showed why she is arguably

0:02:15 > 0:02:19one of the best of all time.

0:02:19 > 0:02:20And staying with tennis,

0:02:20 > 0:02:22and defending wheelchair singles champion Gordon Reid

0:02:22 > 0:02:24is also out of the Australian Open.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28The Scot was beaten in three sets by Belgian player Joachim Gerard.

0:02:28 > 0:02:33There are now no Brits left in the tournament.

0:02:33 > 0:02:34Now if you love toys, you'll love this.

0:02:34 > 0:02:39Imagine a huge hall filled with all the latest gadgets and games.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41The London Toy Fair is on at the moment and

0:02:41 > 0:02:46BBC technology reporter Zoe Kleinman went along to check it out.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49From robot hamsters to electric scooters, there are hundreds of toys

0:02:49 > 0:02:52on display here at the Toy Fair in London, including some

0:02:52 > 0:02:56we've never seen before.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59These wristbands are coming out this year and they turn

0:02:59 > 0:03:00you into a human beatbox.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02Every time you move your arms, you create a beat.

0:03:02 > 0:03:03Are you ready?

0:03:03 > 0:03:04Let's have a go, then.

0:03:04 > 0:03:05Shall I start?

0:03:05 > 0:03:07Are you ready?

0:03:07 > 0:03:13DRUMBEAT

0:03:13 > 0:03:17So there you go, you can see it's lots of fun and it's designed to get

0:03:17 > 0:03:21you moving and also get you interested in music.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28The weird thing about this show is there are so many cool toys

0:03:28 > 0:03:30but only grown-ups to play with them,

0:03:30 > 0:03:32and that's because it is for shopkeepers

0:03:32 > 0:03:35to decide what they want to sell on to you.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38So it may be a little while before you can

0:03:38 > 0:03:42get your hands into one of these.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45SHE LAUGHS

0:03:50 > 0:03:51Robert Burns' birthday today

0:03:51 > 0:03:55with food, music, poetry and perhaps a spot of dancing.

0:03:55 > 0:03:59The famous 18th century poet is remembered every year

0:03:59 > 0:04:02for his contribution to Scottish culture.

0:04:02 > 0:04:07You've been telling us more about his life

0:04:07 > 0:04:08and Burns Night traditions.

0:04:08 > 0:04:09Today is Robbert Burns Day.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Robert Burns was a Scottish poet.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13We celebrate his birthday because the Scottish are very proud

0:04:13 > 0:04:15of what he achieved in his life.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17He was a very good writer.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20He used the Scottish dialect.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23Burns wrote most of his poems in Scots, but his work has been

0:04:23 > 0:04:25translated into over 40 languages.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28Och, aye the noo!

0:04:28 > 0:04:32He wrote the tune for Auld Lang Syne and the poem the Selkirk Grace.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36A traditional Burns supper consists of haggis,

0:04:36 > 0:04:37neeps and tatties.

0:04:37 > 0:04:41Robert Burns wrote a special poem called Address The Haggis

0:04:41 > 0:04:44which is sometimes read before the start of your supper.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47And there will be also lots of Scottish country dancing

0:04:47 > 0:04:49happening at ceilidhs.

0:05:05 > 0:05:06A lifeboat station in Yorkshire has gone

0:05:06 > 0:05:10and got itself a new mascot - Basil, the fox.

0:05:10 > 0:05:15Although he isn't kept as a pet,

0:05:15 > 0:05:19the wild animal pops in on a regular basis to say hello to the station.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21As you can see, he's not camera shy

0:05:21 > 0:05:23and staff say he's nearly as tame as a pet dog.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25Now I don't know about you,

0:05:25 > 0:05:27but I've heard of people doing back-flips off a diving board,

0:05:27 > 0:05:30on a trampoline and sometimes even on a football pitch -

0:05:30 > 0:05:31but this has blown my mind.

0:05:31 > 0:05:32Take a look.

0:05:32 > 0:05:3431-year-old Swedish freestyler Daniel Bodin has become the

0:05:34 > 0:05:37first person to ever successfully complete a double back-flip

0:05:37 > 0:05:44on a snowmobile.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46People have been trying do this trick since 2009,

0:05:46 > 0:05:49but it's taken eight years for someone to succeed,

0:05:49 > 0:05:53and, as you can see, he was pretty happy.

0:05:53 > 0:06:00That's all from me,

0:06:00 > 0:06:01Newsround's back this afternoon with Jenny.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Are you ready for adventure?
