:00:08. > :00:14.Hi, I've got everything you need to know this Thursday afternoon.
:00:14. > :00:23.Coming up - a multi-millionaire's mission to Mars and amazing tale of
:00:23. > :00:27.survival in South America. OK, but first, to a truly historic event
:00:27. > :00:31.happening right now. Pope Benedict XVI's time at the top of the
:00:31. > :00:35.Catholicure is coming to an end, as he officially retires and just
:00:36. > :00:41.moments ago he left the Vatican in a helicopter and will stop being
:00:41. > :00:46.Pope at 7pm. It is a massive moment for more than one billion Catholics
:00:46. > :00:56.across the world and also an unusual one. No-one has given up
:00:56. > :00:57.
:00:57. > :01:01.the job of Pope for 600 years. To Catholics across the world, this
:01:01. > :01:05.man is God's representative on Earth, until around 7pm tonight.
:01:05. > :01:10.Pope Benedict XVI is saying goodbye to one of the world's oldest and
:01:10. > :01:13.most influential roles. As head of the Catholic Church, he has been in
:01:14. > :01:17.control of the largest group of Christians, making decisions which
:01:17. > :01:22.affect more than one billion people. If you are the first Pope to retire
:01:22. > :01:26.in nearly 600 years, how do you go about doing it?
:01:26. > :01:35.Pope Benedict XVI will move house, change his name and even his
:01:35. > :01:40.wardrobe. He will swap the outfit and the red shoes for plain white
:01:40. > :01:45.robes and plain brown shoes. A special golden ring he has worn as
:01:45. > :01:50.Pope will be destroyed. He will spend his time praying for the
:01:50. > :01:54.Church. Pope Benedict has said he faced
:01:55. > :02:00.choppy waters during his eight years in the job. It is because the
:02:00. > :02:05.Catholic Church has faced many big challenges, including accusations
:02:05. > :02:12.of some priests mistreating some people.
:02:12. > :02:17.The BBC's Alan Little is in the Vatican.
:02:17. > :02:21.The Church is reeling dramatically in Asia, Africa, South America. The
:02:21. > :02:26.men who pick the next Pope are mainly Europeans. The new Pope will
:02:26. > :02:30.have to try and close the gap between the Church leaders in there
:02:30. > :02:34.and the Church around the world. As Catholics around the world say
:02:34. > :02:41.goodbye to Pope Benedict XVI, they are getting ready to welcome a new
:02:41. > :02:44.leader who will have a lot of work to do.
:02:44. > :02:49.Some of Britain's biggest Olympic stars have been honoured by the
:02:49. > :02:55.Queen at braps. Nicola Adams, the first ever -- at Buckingham Palace.
:02:55. > :03:00.Nicola Adams, got an MBE from Her Majesty, as did Greg Rutherford.
:03:00. > :03:03.Jessica Ennis, who got an MBE two years ago is now a CBE. That is
:03:03. > :03:07.Commander of the British Empire. This is what she had to say.
:03:07. > :03:13.just said it had been a fantastic year and how is training going. I
:03:13. > :03:19.was so nervous that you kind of forget what she said. But to be
:03:19. > :03:27.here, in Buckingham Palace, I would never have imagined that at the age
:03:27. > :03:32.of 10. Next an American multi- millionaire has unveiled an
:03:32. > :03:37.ambitious plan. Dennis Tito was the first private space tourist when he
:03:37. > :03:41.paid �30 million for a ticket at the International Space Station. He
:03:41. > :03:44.says his mission is possible. The spacecraft will loop around Mars
:03:44. > :03:52.but not land on the planet. He is looking for a couple who will be
:03:52. > :04:02.able to put up with each other for the 501-day journey in a tiny
:04:02. > :04:21.
:04:21. > :04:30.capsule. Who would you like to You can let us know who would you
:04:30. > :04:34.like to spend 501 days with. We'll have a report on that at 6.50pm.
:04:34. > :04:40.Watch out for the flashes coming up. A man has been found after three
:04:40. > :04:44.weeks lost in a national part in Chile. He kept himself alive by
:04:44. > :04:49.eating insects and plants and was found by children on a boat. He had
