0:00:05 > 0:00:07Happy Saturday, everyone!

0:00:07 > 0:00:09Leah here today, with Newsround live on CBBC.

0:00:09 > 0:00:09Coming up:

0:00:09 > 0:00:10Amazing explosions at sea.

0:00:10 > 0:00:19And what happens when Stormtroopers go surfing.

0:00:24 > 0:00:27But first, straight to some Davis Cup action

0:00:27 > 0:00:30because Andy Murray and his brother Jamie are just minutes away

0:00:30 > 0:00:31from facing Belgium in the doubles.

0:00:31 > 0:00:35The pair will aim to put Britain 2-1 up in the best-of-five tie

0:00:35 > 0:00:41and Andy's feeling pretty confident about the competition.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43The doubles in Davis cup is always tough, never

0:00:43 > 0:00:47easy, just because of the way that doubles is played and can be...you

0:00:47 > 0:00:52know...

0:00:52 > 0:00:57So, I believe we can win the tie.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01But what is it like being part of one

0:01:01 > 0:01:02of tennis's most famous families?

0:01:02 > 0:01:05We sent some of your questions to the brothers.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09These questions are from Fox Primary School.

0:01:09 > 0:01:13This one is from Leonardo.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17My favourite part of being a tennis player is getting

0:01:17 > 0:01:19to play high-level sport.

0:01:19 > 0:01:20Getting to travel the world,

0:01:20 > 0:01:23playing against the best players in the world, in some of

0:01:23 > 0:01:28the biggest stadiums in the world.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31For me, that's what's exciting, that's what gets me out of bed

0:01:31 > 0:01:32in the morning.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34This is from Scarlett.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36We don't really compete against each other,

0:01:36 > 0:01:39because I'm playing singles and when I do play doubles, hopefully I'm

0:01:39 > 0:01:42always on the same side of the net as Jamie, so we don't really

0:01:42 > 0:01:44compete with each other any more.

0:01:44 > 0:01:49This is from Jack and Leah.

0:01:49 > 0:01:56About 800 professional matches. In my career and in singles,

0:01:56 > 0:02:05I've won about 550 of them, so far.

0:02:06 > 0:02:10This one is from Aaron.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14Weird. It's really weird.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17I wouldn't recommend it, really.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Cos the first time we really had to do it

0:02:19 > 0:02:21in a professional level,

0:02:21 > 0:02:24I just tried to focus on the ball, and not look at who was

0:02:24 > 0:02:27down the other end of the court, because it was a bit awkward.

0:02:27 > 0:02:28Intimidating? Intimidating, perhaps.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30Awkward, more likely.

0:02:30 > 0:02:35THEY LAUGH

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Forget Black Friday, Nasa have been celebrating Black Hole Friday!

0:02:38 > 0:02:41The space agency was busy sharing lots of images and videos

0:02:41 > 0:02:45of black holes on social media.

0:02:45 > 0:02:49They say that a black hole is a place in space where the pull

0:02:49 > 0:02:52of gravity is so strong that it starts to drag things nearby towards

0:02:52 > 0:02:53it and into it.

0:02:53 > 0:02:54This video is extra special.

0:02:54 > 0:02:59It shows two black holes merging in to one in an event which Nasa

0:02:59 > 0:03:02describes as a "death spiral."

0:03:02 > 0:03:05Star Wars Stormtroopers have been spotted surfing the River Severn.

0:03:05 > 0:03:09The soldiers of the Galactic Empire took a break from life on the

0:03:09 > 0:03:12Death Star to ride the waves in a drizzly Gloucestershire.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15The area of the River Severn they were surfing is popular with surfers

0:03:15 > 0:03:20because waves surge up the estuary caused by the incoming tide.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26It looks like Japan will start hunting whales

0:03:26 > 0:03:28in the Antarctic again.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30The country had stopped whaling for more than a year

0:03:30 > 0:03:32after an international court told them not to.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35But now the decision to start again has angered governments and

0:03:35 > 0:03:37environmentalists across the world.

0:03:43 > 0:03:48Four ships leave the port in Japan, to search for whales.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51Last year the country was told to stop whaling in the Antarctic by

0:03:51 > 0:03:56the International Court of Justice.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59Despite the orders, Japan are making plans to hunt and kill whales there.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02Japan say they hunt whales to find out more about them for scientific

0:04:02 > 0:04:04research, but environmental campaigners believe they're being

0:04:04 > 0:04:07hunted for their meat.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10Many people in Japan like to eat whale - it's been a tradition

0:04:10 > 0:04:14for hundreds of years and people who sell it can make lots of money.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16The country's decision has angered governments around the world,

0:04:16 > 0:04:19who say you do not need to kill whales to learn about them.

0:04:19 > 0:04:24But right now that's not enough to make Japan change its mind.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28It's time to get festive now.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31With less than a month to Christmas, how long until the tree goes up

0:04:31 > 0:04:32at your house?

0:04:32 > 0:04:35Well, the US President's wife, Michelle Obama,

0:04:35 > 0:04:38welcomed this year's White House Christmas tree, which was delivered

0:04:38 > 0:04:39by a horse-drawn carriage.

0:04:39 > 0:04:44The First Lady was joined by White House dogs Bo and Sunny.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49Keeping with the winter theme, if you love ice skating then you

0:04:49 > 0:04:50might like the look of this:

0:04:50 > 0:04:54This ice rink opened on Friday in Moscow and it is pretty big -

0:04:54 > 0:04:5520,000 square metres, in fact.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57Organisers say it's the largest rink in the world.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00It opened with performances by more than 150 actors and Olympic

0:05:00 > 0:05:05skating champions.

0:05:06 > 0:05:10Now, out to sea where a Royal Navy bomb disposal team carried out

0:05:10 > 0:05:18a controlled explosion on a World War II mine off the Isle of Wight.

0:05:18 > 0:05:23The explosion created a plume of water about 300 metres high.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25It was towed out to sea to be detonated.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27It's thought the mine was dropped from a German

0:05:27 > 0:05:33aircraft more than 70 years ago.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39And just enough time for not one but two panda stories.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41First these twin giant panda cubs, who were born

0:05:41 > 0:05:44at Toronto Zoo six weeks ago, are doing brilliantly after there

0:05:44 > 0:05:45was concern about their weight.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47They're now enjoying a diet of bamboo and milk.

0:05:47 > 0:05:50And the world's second oldest panda has celebrated her 35th birthday

0:05:50 > 0:05:50in China.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53Basi, who is over 100 in human years, wore a crown and enjoyed

0:05:53 > 0:05:55a specially-made birthday cake.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57That's all from me and the Newsround team.

0:05:57 > 0:05:58We're back tomorrow.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00Have a great day and remember to check out our website.

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Bye!
