Hi, guys, Ayshah here with the very latest this Wednesday.

:00:00.:00:09.

Coming up: Why a member of 1D's swapping music fame for footy.

:00:10.:00:13.

And the newsreader who got that sinking feeling live on TV. This is

:00:14.:00:22.

Newsround. But first, scientists believe

:00:23.:00:25.

they've solved the mystery of one of the most astonishing fossil

:00:26.:00:28.

discoveries in recent years. This huge graveyard of whales was found

:00:29.:00:31.

in a desert in Chile, South America, in 2011, but until now, no-one knew

:00:32.:00:40.

how it got there. Well, experts studying the site now think the

:00:41.:00:44.

massive find was the result of big groups of whales getting stranded

:00:45.:00:47.

more than five million years ago. They believe they were all poisoned

:00:48.:00:50.

at around the same time after swallowing toxic algae.

:00:51.:00:53.

Next, US President Barack Obama says he's making plans to withdraw all

:00:54.:00:56.

American forces from Afghanistan by the end of 2014. Most foreign forces

:00:57.:01:01.

were expected to leave this year, but there was a plan to keep a small

:01:02.:01:05.

number in the country to continue working with local troops. Obama

:01:06.:01:09.

wants Afghan president Hamid Karzai to sign a security agreement to

:01:10.:01:11.

protect the remaining American soldiers, but Karzai won't sign that

:01:12.:01:19.

deal. Foreign troops have been in the country since 2001 when a group

:01:20.:01:22.

called the Taliban were overthrown from power.

:01:23.:01:26.

A couple in America are in the money after finding $10 million worth of

:01:27.:01:29.

buried treasure while walking their dog. They discovered hundreds of

:01:30.:01:34.

gold coins dating from the 1800s in California. The coins were found in

:01:35.:01:39.

some old rusty metal tins they saw sticking out of the ground. They

:01:40.:01:42.

want to remain anonymous but say they'll use the money to pay off

:01:43.:01:45.

their debts. And discovering that much lost

:01:46.:01:48.

treasure must make you feel pretty good, but this has got to be a close

:01:49.:01:52.

second. Tunstall Town, a small team in the Staffordshire County's

:01:53.:01:55.

Division Two, won their first footy match in more than six and half

:01:56.:01:59.

years at the weekend - after a run of 171 losses in a row. It's an

:02:00.:02:05.

incredible story. Here's Nel with more.

:02:06.:02:12.

For football fans across the country, there's no better feeling

:02:13.:02:16.

than watching your side win. But for supporters of Tunstall Town in

:02:17.:02:21.

Stoke-on-Trent, there has been no celebrations for nearly six and a

:02:22.:02:25.

half years. The last time the team picked up three points was on the

:02:26.:02:30.

29th of September 2007. Little did they know that it would be a weight

:02:31.:02:35.

of six years, four months and 25-year is before they tasted

:02:36.:02:44.

victory again. -- and 25 days. That is a lot of footballing minutes. On

:02:45.:02:49.

Saturday, they brought their winless run to an end when they were won

:02:50.:02:55.

3-2. It was better than winning their World Cup, FA Cup, Champions

:02:56.:03:00.

League, all rolled into one. It was great. After getting that win after

:03:01.:03:09.

six and a half years, legendary. 17-year-old Adam was the hero,

:03:10.:03:12.

grabbing the winner and rewriting the club's history books. Obviously,

:03:13.:03:17.

winning after six and a half years... We have a few games left

:03:18.:03:27.

that we think are winnable. Never let him have a winning

:03:28.:03:31.

feeling, maybe a push for promotion is on the cards. OK, maybe not, but

:03:32.:03:35.

they will at least hoping it will not be another six years before the

:03:36.:03:39.

next win. They're not quite as bad as that,

:03:40.:03:44.

but Man United's troubles continued last night. They were beaten in the

:03:45.:03:47.

first leg of the Champions League last 16. They went down 2-0 in the

:03:48.:03:52.

first leg of their match with Greek Champions Olympiakos - a team

:03:53.:03:55.

considered the weakest left in the competition. Celtic suffered a

:03:56.:03:59.

surprise first defeat of the season to Aberdeen. They have not lost a

:04:00.:04:05.

game of year but went down 2-1. They are still 21 point ahead at the top

:04:06.:04:09.

of the league, though. Some 1D news now. Louis Tomlinson

:04:10.:04:13.

will swap his microphone for footie boots tonight, as he gets ready to

:04:14.:04:20.

play for Doncaster Rovers. He's taking part in a game for the League

:04:21.:04:24.

Two side in a reserve match against local rivals Rotherham. Louis is

:04:25.:04:27.

playing in aid of a children's hospice. Several thousand new

:04:28.:04:30.

football fans are expected to turn up this evening.

:04:31.:04:32.

But last up, if you've ever wondered why we don't sit on adjustable

:04:33.:04:35.

chairs here on Newsround, well, watch this.

:04:36.:04:40.

This BBC reporter got a sinking feeling live on telly because of a

:04:41.:04:44.

peculiar camera fault! The clip's become a big hit online with a more

:04:45.:04:48.

than one and a half million viewings. I am really glad that

:04:49.:04:54.

doesn't happen yet on Newsround. That's your lot from the Newsround

:04:55.:04:58.

team for now. Leah's here this afternoon at 4.20pm.

:04:59.:05:00.
