0:01:41 > 0:01:43Well that lot are all backing him.

0:01:43 > 0:01:44But what about the experts?

0:01:44 > 0:01:46The BBC's Russell Fuller is in Australia, so we asked him

0:01:46 > 0:01:49what he thinks about Kyle's chances...

0:01:49 > 0:01:52No British man other than Andy Murray has reached this stage of the

0:01:52 > 0:01:58Australian open for over 40 years. Kyle Edmund is fairly quiet, fairly

0:01:58 > 0:02:02reserved. He loves his football and is a big Liverpool fan. He's also

0:02:02 > 0:02:07into Formula 1 and motorbikes. He is an underdog but playing with a lot

0:02:07 > 0:02:10of confidence and hits his forehand more powerfully than virtually any

0:02:10 > 0:02:13other man on the tour.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15In other sport news, Arsene Wenger's side took a big step

0:02:15 > 0:02:18closer to League Cup victory last night after Arsenal beat Chelsea.

0:02:18 > 0:02:22Chelsea started well when Eden Hazard put them ahead.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24But Arsenal levelled after a double deflection resulted

0:02:24 > 0:02:29in an Antonio Rudiger own goal.

0:02:29 > 0:02:33The winner came at 60 minutes when Granit Xhaka secured his team's

0:02:33 > 0:02:40place in the finals at Wembley in a month's time.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43The victory is a boost for the Gunners who've dropped

0:02:43 > 0:02:44to sixth place in the Premier League.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47They're hoping to win their first trophy in five years.

0:02:47 > 0:02:48Next, we're talking about young carers.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51These are young people who have to look after parents or siblings

0:02:51 > 0:02:53who struggle to care for themselves because of illness.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Tens of thousands of children in the UK care for an adult

0:02:56 > 0:02:59in their life and Newsround has been hearing from kids who care

0:02:59 > 0:03:00for relatives suffering from mental illness.

0:03:00 > 0:03:08This is Charlotte's story.

0:03:09 > 0:03:13One of the first elements I remember about caring for my mum was that she

0:03:13 > 0:03:17never really used to be able to do things other mums would do. Every so

0:03:17 > 0:03:22often, things would get way too much for her and she'd have to go and lay

0:03:22 > 0:03:26down or withdraw herself from situations and as a kid, that would

0:03:26 > 0:03:30make me feel really bad so I'd try to make our feel happy or do things

0:03:30 > 0:03:35for her or draw things for her to lighten the mood. I see other mums

0:03:35 > 0:03:43lifting up their kids and going running with them and stuff and I'd

0:03:43 > 0:03:46be like, why can't man do that for me? There was an absence of this

0:03:46 > 0:03:49kind of fine blubbing -- fun loving mum that I used to know, really. But

0:03:49 > 0:03:52she couldn't help it. I didn't blame her for it but I knew something

0:03:52 > 0:03:56wasn't right. A certain teacher helped me realise that something

0:03:56 > 0:03:59really was wrong. She's one of the first people that I ever told and I

0:03:59 > 0:04:05got the support that I needed. I just break down in tears. I wasn't

0:04:05 > 0:04:09sad, it was just kind of the realisation that that was was wrong

0:04:09 > 0:04:14and at that point it was, oh, my God, that's what's wrong. And she

0:04:14 > 0:04:20nodded at me. And she said, you know what, that's OK. We are going to

0:04:20 > 0:04:24work three days. It sounds really cliched, but at that moment, I

0:04:24 > 0:04:29didn't feel like I was completely alone any more. There's a lot of

0:04:29 > 0:04:32experiences to be had and some of them will be good and some bad.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36That's OK because being a young carer have definitely made me who I

0:04:36 > 0:04:40am. I wouldn't be half as resilient if I hadn't gone through that. I

0:04:40 > 0:04:44know how to deal with the disappointments or the anxieties

0:04:44 > 0:04:47because I've seen my mum go through it for one and I've had to go

0:04:47 > 0:04:49through it with her.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Head online where you can find more about what it means

0:04:52 > 0:04:55to be a young carer.

0:04:55 > 0:05:01We will be joined by a young care -- a young carer live in the studio in
