Good morning, guys! | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
Jenny here, with your Wednesday Newsround. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
First up, if you live in England or Wales, | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
many of you will be finding out today which secondary | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
school you'll be going to. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:20 | |
It's a really important day for many of you, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
and most of you will get your first choice of school. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
But some experts say that one in six 11-year-olds in England won't. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
The problem is expected to be worse than last year. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
Ryan and Kirsty live in Northern Ireland. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
There is an election taking place tomorrow and they wanted to explain | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
why it matters to them. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
Hello, I'm Ryan. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
Hi, I'm Kirsty. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:43 | |
We're both from Belfast. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
It's the capital city of Northern Ireland. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
BOTH: Come with us. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
There are many great things to see in Belfast, | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
like this big blue fish. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
The Titanic was built here, so you can come | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
and visit the museum, too. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
We in Northern Ireland are part of the UK. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
But we have our own government, just up there, which is in charge of | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
things like schools and hospitals. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
We have a very important election coming up tomorrow. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
It's really important to us, because there was a lot | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
of conflict here in the past. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
The conflict was quite a while ago, and we were too young | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
to live through it. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:22 | |
So we've brought our teacher along today to learn a bit about it. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
When I was growing up in Northern Ireland, | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
things were a lot different than they are today. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
There were soldiers on the streets, there were bombs going off, | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
there were bomb scares. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
If you'd maybe gone into the city centre, you would have | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
to have your bag checked. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
So, was it scary when you went near Belfast with your friends or family? | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
It was and it wasn't, because you became so used to it. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
But it was scary, I can remember being in Belfast with my granny | 0:01:54 | 0:01:59 | |
and I was about your age, running down the street because | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
there were explosions happening. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
You live in very different way than I did growing up | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
in Northern Ireland. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
We don't want to go back to the old days | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
in Northern Ireland, where there's lots of | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
fighting and conflict. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
So it's important our government keeps things running the same. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
Our message to all the politicians here is to just keep the peace. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
President Trump has promised a new chapter of American greatness | 0:02:22 | 0:02:27 | |
in a big speech he made to US politicians last night. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
It's the first time he's spoken to the US Congress, | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
which is similar to the UK Parliament. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
He promised to spend much more on the armed forces, | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
and to tackle terrorism and illegal immigration. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
He also appealed for unity, saying the time for fighting had passed. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:46 | |
Believe in yourselves, believe in your future | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
and believe once more in America. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
How would you like to take a holiday in space? | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
An American rocket company has said it's going to fly two tourists | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
to the Moon next year. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
The announcement got us pretty excited here at Newsround HQ. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
Watch this. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
Hello there, travellers! | 0:03:07 | 0:03:08 | |
Are you fed up with the same old boring holidays? | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
Looking for something a bit different? | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
Well, why not try a one-of-a-kind destination | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
that's out of this world? | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
Around 238,000 miles, in fact! | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
In case you didn't know, that is around 30 Earths away. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
Wow! | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
A top of the range rocket will take you on a trip around the moon. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
Not on it - you can look, but no touching. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:37 | |
This unique location has not been visited for more than 40 years | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
and has all the thrills, with none of the atmosphere. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
For the small price of a lot of money, SpaceX are giving two | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
lucky holiday-makers the chance to fly around the Moon | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
before returning to Earth. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
Like any space travel, there are some risks involved. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
There will be test flights to check everything is working, though. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
Make sure you book enough time off - the journey could last a whole week. | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
Liftoff is scheduled for 2018, so don't miss out. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
You may have flipped a few pancakes yesterday - | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
but how about this for an epic Shrove Tuesday challenge? | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
This is the final lap of the pancake race at Worcester Cathedral. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
This is the view of the Dean, The Very Reverend Peter Atkinson, | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
as he gets past a number of obstacles whilst | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
flipping a pancake. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
They do the race every year, but it was the first time they'd | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
strapped a camera to one of the contestants! | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
Finally, you might have heard of Timone and Pumba, | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
the Fox and the Hound or Bambi and Thumper, but now I give | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
you N'usha and Ilona. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
The snowy owl and husky dog have formed an unusual friendship. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
They love to hang out together and even give each other kisses! | 0:04:40 | 0:04:47 | |
That | 0:04:47 | 0:04:47 | |
That is | 0:04:47 | 0:04:47 | |
That is very | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
That is very cute! | 0:04:49 | 0:04:50 | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
