Hi guys! | 0:00:02 | 0:00:03 | |
Martin here - It's Wednesday! | 0:00:03 | 0:00:04 | |

Being stuck at home because of sickness can be a real problem. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
can be a real problem. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:32 | |
Kids can miss out on important lessons at school and the chance | 0:00:32 | 0:00:32 | |
to hang out with their friends. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:36 | |
Could robots help? | 0:00:36 | 0:00:37 | |
Check it out... | 0:00:37 | 0:00:38 | |
This is how Jacob goes to school. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
Using an iPad at his home in the US, he is controlling a Segway | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
with another iPad on top. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:49 | |
It lets him see and hear everything going on in class. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
His classmates and teacher can see and hear him too. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
It's nice to see them in the morning. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:04 | |
The fact that I am waking up first thing in the morning... | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
I still haven't gotten used to it yet, but I mean, I'm getting there. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:14 | |
The reason Jacob needs this amazing system is because unfortunately, | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
he cannot go to school in person. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
A couple of years ago Jacob got really sick. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
Doctors haven't been able to figure out what's wrong yet. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
In the meantime, he cannot go to class. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
His classmates and his school got together and figured | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
out a way to help. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:40 | |
Jacob's friend's dad just so happens to have one of these new robots, | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
so he let Jacob use it to attend school in robot form. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
Although it's really useful for Jacob to help him | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
see his friends and get back to class, he mainly just loves | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
the fact that now he can say he has his very own robot. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
It's been an awesome journey so far. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:03 | |
And these kids in Brazil have been getting the party started! | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
They've been taking part in a huge parade just for kids, | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
in the famous Rio de Janiero carnival in Brazil. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
Children from loads of samba schools came together to show | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
off their dancing skills and ride on giant floats. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:20 | |
Next up, Ryan and Kirsty live in Northern Ireland. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
There is an election taking place there tomorrow - | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
and they wanted to explain why it matters to them. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
Hello, I'm Ryan. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:30 | |
Hi, I'm Kirsty. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:31 | |
We're both from Belfast. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:32 | |
It's the capital city of Northern Ireland. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
BOTH: Come with us. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
There are many great things to see in Belfast, | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
like this big blue fish. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
The Titanic was built here, so you can come | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
and visit the museum, too. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
We in Northern Ireland are part of the UK. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
But we have our own government, just up there, which is in charge of | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
things like schools and hospitals. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:59 | |
We have a very important election coming up tomorrow. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
It's really important to us, because there was a lot | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
of conflict here in the past. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:06 | |
The conflict was quite a while ago, and we were too young | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
to live through it. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:10 | |
So we've brought our teacher along today to learn a bit about it. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
When I was growing up in Northern Ireland, | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
things were a lot different than they are today. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
There were soldiers on the streets, there were bombs going off, | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
there were bomb scares. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
If you'd maybe gone into the city centre, you would have | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
to have your bag checked. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
So, was it scary when you went near Belfast with your friends or family? | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
It was and it wasn't, because you became so used to it. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
But it was scary, I can remember being in Belfast with my granny | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
and I was about your age, running down the street because | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
there were explosions happening. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
You live in very different way than I did growing up | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
in Northern Ireland. | 0:03:54 | 0:04:00 | |
We don't want to go back to the old days | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
in Northern Ireland, where there's lots of | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
fighting and conflict. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:05 | |
So it's important our government keeps things running the same. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
Our message to all the politicians here is to just keep the peace. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
Now tomorrow is a very big day for many of you - | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
it's World Book Day! | 0:04:14 | 0:04:15 | |
We know you guys love it, we know you'll all be dressing up. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
And we want to know what you'll be wearing! | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
Head online and let us know. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
Now check this out before we go. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
This is Elias Ambuhl setting a new world record | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
for skiing backwards. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
He's zooming down the Weisshorn mountain in Switzerland. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
The 24-year-old managed to reach the speed of 80mph breaking | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
the last record set in 2012. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:46 | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back tomorrow at 7.40am. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:48 | |
