0:00:05 > 0:00:07Good morning and welcome to your weekend Newsround
0:00:07 > 0:00:10with me, Hayley.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12The dogs helping out at a tennis match.
0:00:12 > 0:00:22AND the surfer taking on an 18 metre wave.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32First, the UK's entry for the annual
0:00:32 > 0:00:33Eurovision Song Contest was announced last night.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Six acts competed to represent Britain and members
0:00:35 > 0:00:37of the public chose Joe and Jake.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39The pop duo will perform in the international
0:00:39 > 0:00:47song contest in may in Sweden.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49Unfortunately, though, Great Britain has not had much luck
0:00:49 > 0:00:50in recent
0:00:50 > 0:00:53years, they've not won for 19 years and last year they came last.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Jenny's been looking into why.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Ready?
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Go!
0:00:56 > 0:00:5943 countries, millions of dreams, one chance to have the best
0:00:59 > 0:01:00song in Europe.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Here are our top results.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04But, since 1997, the UK has done pretty badly.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08So why haven't we been so successful recently?
0:01:08 > 0:01:13Lately, the winner has always had an upbeat,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15up-tempo song OR a kind of downbeat ballad like Conchita
0:01:15 > 0:01:16a few years ago.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Look how successful she was when she wanted.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Also, there's more competition now with countries in
0:01:21 > 0:01:22the Eurovision Song contest.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Plus, a lot of people say that people only vote
0:01:25 > 0:01:30for their neighbours.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32And our only real neighbours are Ireland, so we're always
0:01:32 > 0:01:33outnumbered.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36This year, the conversation takes place in Sweden's capital Stockholm.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38What are our chances? I think the United Kingdom has
0:01:38 > 0:01:40a really, really good chance this year.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Better than in most recent times anyway because the voting system
0:01:42 > 0:01:47has changed slightly.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Us, we, the Great British public have the say on who we want
0:01:50 > 0:01:57to represent the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Next up, take a look at this surfer taking on a huge wave.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03This is John John Florence riding an 18 metre wave in Hawaii.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06His surfing skills won him more than ?50,000 at a big
0:02:06 > 0:02:08competition in Hawaii.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12At 23, he is one of the youngest winners ever to take the prize
0:02:12 > 0:02:21after beating 27 other competitors.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Next to a new career, for homeless dogs in Brazil.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Thanks to tennis.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28They haven't learned how to play
0:02:28 > 0:02:32the game just yet, but at a match in Sao Paulo, dogs Ruffal Nadal
0:02:32 > 0:02:34and Roger Fetcherer acted as ball boys and girls,
0:02:34 > 0:02:36although they weren't too keen to give the balls back.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39It's hoped the match will encourage more people in Brazil to adopt
0:02:39 > 0:02:48abandoned dogs as pets.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Head online where we want to know why you think Pokemon
0:02:50 > 0:02:53is so successful, and how it compares to your other favourite
0:02:53 > 0:02:56games as the Japanese classic turns 20 years old.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58That's all from me, Newsround's back just before 12.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59Catch you then.
