Hi, I'm Hayley, you're live with Newsround at lunchtime.

:00:00.:00:00.

So stay with us for the next six minutes for some of this:

:00:07.:00:09.

The baby sea lion going wild in the city.

:00:10.:00:25.

First, tonight is a huge night for film fans -

:00:26.:00:28.

BBC Entertainment Reporter Lizo Mizimba is on the red carpet,

:00:29.:00:33.

seeing how they're getting ready for the biggest film awards

:00:34.:00:35.

Here in LA, it is still late Saturday night, but the preparations

:00:36.:00:42.

are well underway on the red carpet here.

:00:43.:00:45.

At the end there they have just been tidying everything up,

:00:46.:00:48.

making sure it all looks perfect ahead of tomorrow,

:00:49.:00:50.

because that is where the stars will come down.

:00:51.:00:52.

It will take some of them up to two hours to talk to all the press down

:00:53.:00:56.

there before coming here, into the entrance to the Derby

:00:57.:00:59.

Now, you know all those photographs you see in magazines and newspapers

:01:00.:01:03.

Behind the cameras there will be about 20 photographers,

:01:04.:01:10.

and they stand here and they do all those familiar poses...

:01:11.:01:13.

I'm sorry, I've always wanted to do that!

:01:14.:01:17.

...Before they walk into the Derby Theatre itself

:01:18.:01:19.

Of course, everyone loves a bit of Oscar trivia.

:01:20.:01:22.

After the ceremony, they will go to the Governors Ball -

:01:23.:01:25.

they will have about 1000 oysters there, 4500 Oscar-shaped flatbreads,

:01:26.:01:27.

I don't know what else I'm going to have...

:01:28.:01:39.

Five gallons of fudge, I would love that!

:01:40.:01:42.

And if you want all the facts and stats on the most showbiz

:01:43.:01:45.

ceremony on the planet, get to the website, where we've got

:01:46.:01:48.

all the stats from the BBC's Colin Paterson.

:01:49.:01:50.

Next up, a school where you can train to be a mermaid.

:01:51.:01:53.

With flowing hair and a slippery tail, mermaids can swim

:01:54.:01:57.

through the water at tremendous speed.

:01:58.:01:59.

They are the characters of fairy tales and legends.

:02:00.:02:01.

This swimming school in Hastings in the south of England is teaching

:02:02.:02:12.

And then when you do it, you realise how amazing it is.

:02:13.:02:21.

It's just really fun, because you get to just

:02:22.:02:23.

It's really exhilarating, the speed you can go.

:02:24.:02:27.

So, what used to be just in stories and movies can now be a reality.

:02:28.:02:34.

Next, at just 18 years old, Kyla Nelson is on the team

:02:35.:02:36.

for Great Britain's Women's Basketball Team.

:02:37.:02:39.

She checked in with Newsround to tell us about how the sport has

:02:40.:02:42.

I'm Kyla Nelson, I'm 18 years old, and I play

:02:43.:02:48.

for the Great Britain Women's Basketball Team.

:02:49.:02:51.

I came into basketball from birth, really.

:02:52.:02:53.

My dad was still playing when I was born.

:02:54.:02:55.

And growing up, my brothers were playing.

:02:56.:02:57.

So I wanted to copy my big brother, and I was about seven when I started

:02:58.:03:01.

It is a privilege, having two people in your life that have played

:03:02.:03:05.

I just want to absorb everything they say.

:03:06.:03:09.

What I love about basketball is the hustle, the competitiveness,

:03:10.:03:13.

Basketball helped my confidence a lot growing up.

:03:14.:03:17.

I was a little bit overweight when I was younger, and sometimes

:03:18.:03:20.

when I have a bad game I don't know how good I am.

:03:21.:03:24.

But coming here and having team-mates like these girls

:03:25.:03:27.

is amazing, they've been so helpful, and I just want careers like theirs.

:03:28.:03:31.

They have done some stuff that I just aspire to do myself.

:03:32.:03:38.

Next to amazing art made by kids from bottle tops.

:03:39.:03:41.

Primary school kids from a village in Taiwan have collected around

:03:42.:03:45.

40,000 caps to create colourful wall art with an environmental message.

:03:46.:03:51.

If bottle caps get in to the ocean they can hurt wildlife,

:03:52.:03:54.

so these kids want to encourage more people to recycle their rubbish.

:03:55.:03:59.

They carefully lay out the bottle caps and glue them together

:04:00.:04:02.

to create these beautiful murals, which then go up on the walls

:04:03.:04:05.

It's been quite a freaky week of news, so we've rounded up

:04:06.:04:13.

Here's Jenny with the strangest of the strange.

:04:14.:04:19.

First, check out this humanlike robot that's being developed.

:04:20.:04:21.

It uses sensors in its body and legs to balance,

:04:22.:04:24.

and it even has sensors in its head that help it work

:04:25.:04:29.

out its surroundings and avoid obstacles that can trip it up.

:04:30.:04:34.

It can even get back up quickly when it's pushed over.

:04:35.:04:39.

Next up, there were some strange scenes in space this week,

:04:40.:04:42.

Astronaut Scott Kelly had been sent the suit as a birthday present

:04:43.:04:51.

from his twin brother, and had some fun chasing

:04:52.:04:53.

He's got a little bit of a problem, because he is three times the size

:04:54.:05:05.

He was accidentally overfed during the winter by the people

:05:06.:05:08.

His size means he can't curl up into a ball and protect himself

:05:09.:05:14.

from predators, so he is now on a strict diet of cat biscuits

:05:15.:05:17.

until he can lose enough weight to be safely returned to the wild.

:05:18.:05:26.

And a bit more strange news for you now -

:05:27.:05:29.

a young sea lion checking out the streets of San Diego in

:05:30.:05:32.

Police found the eight-month-old pup and looked after it until an animal

:05:33.:05:35.

Lots of sea lions are making their way into the city

:05:36.:05:40.

to try to find food, because record-breaking warm water

:05:41.:05:43.

means the fish they normally eat have gone to parts of the ocean

:05:44.:05:46.

Newsround's back right here at 2.15pm.

:05:47.:05:57.

I will see you then, have a nice lunch!

:05:58.:06:00.
