You're live with me, Nel, and Newsround is on the way. I'll be | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
finding out why it's all looking a bit hazy in the sky at the moment. | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
It's the end of the road for Waterloo Road. First up air | :00:21. | :00:30. | |
pollution and some of you might have noticed your hometown looking a | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
little bit hazy today. That's because over the last couple of days | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
some parts of England and Wales have experienced high or very high levels | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
of pollution. Martin's been finding out more about where it's all come | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
from. Today the pollution level is high... A murky morning in | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
Leicester. A hazy skyline across London. Air pollution is on the up | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
across England and Wales, reaching the very highest levels on the | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
Government's air quality scale, hitting scores of eight, nine and | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
even ten in parts of Norfolk. And it's hazy scenes like this one | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
across Manchester that many of us are still seeing today. And here's | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
why... Dust has been blown up towards the British Isles, from the | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
Sahara desert in Northern Africa. It's combined with pollutants that | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
have drifted across from factories in Europe and it's got mixed with | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
emissions from cars and factories in the UK. On top of this there hasn't | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
been much wind to blow it away and high pressure above us is acting | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
like a giant saucepan lid, trapping all the pollutants. Forecasters say | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
it's going to improve in the next few days and rain is expected to | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
wash the pollutants out by the end of the week. So that's what's caused | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
the increase in air pollution. But what does it mean for us? Martin's | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
been speaking to scientist Dr Kimberley Leather, who's an expert | :01:45. | :01:53. | |
on the earth's atmosphere. What is happening? These occurrences | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
don't happen often. There's no need to worry or do anything different. | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
Certain people may be more vulnerable, such as the elderly, | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
people with asthma and people with heart and lung problems. The | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
Government warned that they shouldn't do any hard exercise. How | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
does the pollution here compared to other places around the world, like | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
China? The worst-case scenario in the UK, places like Beijing can be | :02:21. | :02:29. | |
up to five times worse. People in the South American country of Chile | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
are returning to their homes after a powerful earthquake hit off the | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
country's coast last night. It triggered power cuts and landslides. | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
Waves over two metres in height were also reported. Six people were | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
killed and thousands more had to leave their homes. These CCTV | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
pictures from inside a supermarket show just how fierce the tremors | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
were. Head to the website if there's anything in the news that upsets | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
you, there's help and advice there as well as a guide to what causes | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
earthquakes. Sports news, and Jose Mourinho's Chelsea side will face | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
the might of Zlatan Ibrahimovic in France tonight for their Champions | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
League quarterfinal, against Paris St Germain. The French side look | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
likely to win their second League title in a row, mainly thanks to the | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
genius of the Swedish striker. Chelsea boss Mourinho remembers | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
Zlatan well, after managing him at Inter Milan. During one year of the | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
relationship was phenomenal. When people say he is a kind of difficult | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
personality, for me, the difficult personalities of the players that | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
don't want to win, don't want to work, don't want to be the best. He | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
wants to win, he wants to be the best. Next, could we soon be seeing | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
robots patrolling the streets and fighting crime? Well a team of | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
engineers in America has developed the Knightscope K5. It's about 1.5 | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
metres tall and is equipped with the latest technology, so it can detect | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
when things go wrong. It's a very friendly and engaging robot. We have | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
360 degrees cameras for surveillance, radiological, chemical | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
and biological sensor detectors. We have number plate recognition, | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
facial recognition and gestural recognition. If somebody is waiting | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
at their hands laying on the ground where they shouldn't be, they pick | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
an that and they can send queues. Sad news for Waterloo Road fans. The | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
school gates are closing for good next year. The BBC has announced | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
that the popular school drama will come to an end after its 10th | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
series. TV bosses said they were "incredibly proud" of the show, but | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
that it had "reached the end of its life cycle". Don't worry, though, | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
there are still 20 episodes to go before a new drama takes its place. | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
Finally, before you have your tea tonight make sure you head over to | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
the Newsround website. You'll find snaps from some of the best wildlife | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
photos captured in the UK. And you can see what happened when a dad | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
turned his son into a superhero using some amazing special effects. | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
More coming your way at 6.50pm when I'm back with Newsround. Bye! | :04:53. | :04:58. |
