You're live with CBBC. I'm Jenny. Coming up in the next six minutes:

:00:08.:00:14.

Is Prince George the luckiest tot in Britain?

:00:15.:00:18.

We take a look at some of the toys from his tour.

:00:19.:00:26.

First, our main story. The Ministry of Defence has confirmed that five

:00:27.:00:29.

British servicemen have died in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan. The

:00:30.:00:32.

families of those killed have been told. The MoD has said the crash

:00:33.:00:40.

appears to have been a tragic accident and an investigation is

:00:41.:00:47.

being carried out to find the cause. The war in Afghanistan started back

:00:48.:00:55.

in 2001. During the conflict, 453 British servicemen and women have

:00:56.:01:00.

lost their lives, but this is the first British helicopter to crash

:01:01.:01:05.

their way people have died. The five personnel who died when their

:01:06.:01:09.

helicopter came down have not been named, although their families have

:01:10.:01:14.

been told. The helicopter crashed in Kandahar province. The Taliban,

:01:15.:01:20.

supporters of a group of extreme religious leaders, say they shot it

:01:21.:01:23.

down, but the Ministry of Defence says it appears to be a tragic

:01:24.:01:27.

accident. They have now found the wreckage and are examining it for

:01:28.:01:34.

clues as to what caused the crash. The Lynx helicopter was first used

:01:35.:01:39.

in the 1970s, and has a good safety record. In Afghanistan, it is used

:01:40.:01:43.

to transfer personal and special forces. There are still around 5000

:01:44.:01:49.

British troops serving in Afghanistan, but the UK Government

:01:50.:01:53.

will take all their troops out of the country by the end of the year.

:01:54.:01:57.

If you're upset by this, or any other story you hear on Newsround,

:01:58.:02:00.

there's some help and advice over on our website. There's also a guide on

:02:01.:02:05.

the conflict in Afghanistan if you want to find out more.

:02:06.:02:07.

Next, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Italy's capital

:02:08.:02:11.

city Rome this morning for an historic ceremony where two popes

:02:12.:02:13.

were declared as saints. Pope John Paul II and Pope John 23rd were

:02:14.:02:17.

honoured in an open air mass in Vatican City. Being declared a saint

:02:18.:02:20.

is the highest honour in the Catholic Church, as the BBC's Alan

:02:21.:02:32.

Johnston explains. We have just witnessed a hugely

:02:33.:02:37.

important religious event here in the Vatican. Two former popes to

:02:38.:02:40.

become saints. The Church must believe you are in heaven, and that

:02:41.:02:44.

you are so important that you can actually persuade God to deliver

:02:45.:02:50.

miracles in order to become a saint. In the case of one of these popes,

:02:51.:02:54.

John Paul II, the church believes that two women who were very very

:02:55.:03:01.

ill prayed to him and were miraculously good. The church leaves

:03:02.:03:07.

that John Paul II queue at two women miraculously, and that qualifies him

:03:08.:03:11.

to be a saint. This is the highest honour that the Catholic Church can

:03:12.:03:15.

bestow on anyone. And, for believers all around the world, that is a very

:03:16.:03:19.

important moment. Thousands have come here to Rome to be here at that

:03:20.:03:26.

moment when John Paul II and John 23rd were declared saints of the

:03:27.:03:29.

Catholic Church. Next, for the first time in quite a

:03:30.:03:33.

while Manchester United fans will be able to go in to school tomorrow

:03:34.:03:37.

with a smile on their face. That's because the Red Devils thrashed

:03:38.:03:40.

Norwich 4-0 in Ryan Giggs' first game as temporary boss. Two goals

:03:41.:03:43.

apiece from Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata sealed the win and the Spaniard

:03:44.:03:47.

was singled out for praise by the new manager.

:03:48.:03:53.

One matter was tremendous and the half an hour that he was on. It was

:03:54.:03:59.

really tough to leave a player like that out, and he just reacted in the

:04:00.:04:03.

way that I expected as a professional. He did not sulk, he

:04:04.:04:08.

came on and put on a masterclass for half an hour.

:04:09.:04:10.

Chelsea will take on Liverpool at 2pm today. A Liverpool victory at

:04:11.:04:15.

Anfield would end Chelsea's hopes of winning the Premier League trophy.

:04:16.:04:21.

Blues boy Andre Schurrle told MOTD Kickabout his hopes for the game.

:04:22.:04:35.

Of course, you want to win every match. You don't look at the others.

:04:36.:04:38.

It is our last chance as well. We need to win to be in a position

:04:39.:04:46.

where we can attack the title. We will try everything to win it.

:04:47.:04:50.

And if you're getting excited ahead of that huge game at Anfield, then

:04:51.:04:53.

you can watch tonnes more top footy clips over on the Match of the Day

:04:54.:05:02.

Kickabout website. From giant wombats to cuddly

:05:03.:05:05.

kangaroos, Prince George will be returning to Britain with no

:05:06.:05:08.

shortage of toys from his three week tour of Australia and New Zealand.

:05:09.:05:11.

The toddler reportedly received more than 2,000 gifts from well wishers,

:05:12.:05:14.

including a surfboard and mini speedboat! Many of the toys were

:05:15.:05:17.

donated to local children's hospitals.

:05:18.:05:19.

He didn't seem too bothered about this toy bilby though!

:05:20.:05:27.

All your favourite stars, including The Vamps behind me, flocked to LA

:05:28.:05:31.

last night for The Radio Disney Music Awards in the US. Of the 15

:05:32.:05:35.

awards, Best Music Group was bagged by British boys, One Direction. Demi

:05:36.:05:38.

Lovato took to Twitter to tell fans her delight with her Best Female

:05:39.:05:41.

Award, whilst the winner for Fiercest Fans went to Taylor Swift.

:05:42.:05:51.

He may be the king of pop, but had over to the Newsround website to

:05:52.:05:56.

hear some bad news about Simon Cowell's West End musical. That's

:05:57.:06:00.

all from me. We're back in about half an hour. Bye!
