Hello. You are tuned into Newsround this Friday afternoon with Ore and

Joe. He's not wrong. Stay where you are for some of this.

The call for kids to stop playing with fireworks.

And the world's highest skydiver tells us what inspired him to make

First, it's bonfire season and many of us will be heading to fireworks

displays this weekend or even planning our own at home. But there

are calls for kids to be careful, after two boys were badly hurt when

playing with a firework. And now one of the mums of the injured boys

has released a picture of him in hospital to warn kids about what

can happen when you play with these dangerous explosives.

With bonfire night fast approaching, fireworks season is in full swing.

Big events like this are put on all over the country ever year by

professional firework display teams. They know how to put on an amazing

show of light and sound. And they also know how to avoid getting hurt.

But when fireworks get into the wrong hands, accidents can happen,

and now three boys are seriously injured after playing with one, and

one of the boys' mums has released a photo of her son in hospital to

stop kids playing with fireworks. The picture shows the 10-year-old

recovering from a burned face in hospital. You have to be 18 to buy

fireworks and the one they were playing with is so powerful you

cannot buy it in shops like this. Big rockets can fly at 100mph. They

can travel 200 metres into the sky, And burn at temperatures of around

800 degrees Celsius. And sparklers are even hotter, at 2000 degrees

Celsius. Last year, 158 people were treated in hospital for firework

injuries, and firefighters are always really busy over bonfire

weekend. Around Hallowe'en and Bonfire Night, it is almost

inevitable some children will get hold of fireworks. We ask you to

remember everything firefighters have told you in the past and to

give those fireworks to your parent or another adult, who will make

them safe. So the best advice is to enjoy all

the bangs and sparkle of fireworks night, but let the grown ups do the

hard work. All week we've been talking about

the destruction caused by Superstorm Sandy. When the storm

hit New York, we heard from Ella and her brother Arman, who live in

Brooklyn. Here they are celebrating Halloween despite all the

disruption. We caught up up with them to find out if life is

starting to get back to normal. will probably take time to get all

of the tree is a way that have fallen down. There are a lot of

trees that fell down and were half broken. It is pretty dangerous if

you walk off the street. All of the trees are kind of cracking. It is

pretty dangerous. We have a sports facility. And now it is closed

because it is used for shelter for all the people who got evacuated

from their homes. And my mum, she goes there and she helps there. I

realise we are really lucky that did not happen to us.

Staying in America, there are just four days until the big election.

President Barack Obama and his opponent, Mitt Romney, have been

criss-crossing the country for months, trying to persuade people

to vote for them. One of the things lots of people have been talking

about is Mitt Romney's religion. We sent Leah to find out about the

Mormon faith. In the battle to be President, what

you believe in is huge. Having a strong faith is seen as really

important by lots of voters, so, from Mitt Romney, one of the big

challenges has been getting past what people think of the church he

belongs to. The Mormon Church was set up in the 18 hundreds in

America. The Mormon church is officially called the Church of

Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints. There are around 14 million Mormons

living around the world, half of them in America, but the biggest

temple outside of America, Canada and Mexico is right here in the UK,

in Lancashire. For lots of people, what Mormons believe in is a

mystery. There are many similarities between this church

and other Christian churches. One of the differences is that we have

the Bible, but we also have another book of scripture. And that book is

called the Book of Mormon. Church's views are sometimes seen

as controversial. Drinking tea and coffee is banned because of the

strict health code, and at one time, Mormons were allowed to marry more

than one person. It is not the way that we practised today. There is

one man and one woman. We have one wife and one has done. Lots of kids

and young people are part of the Church. Let's talk about the

reactions you have got at school. have said on a few occasions that I

am a Mormon, like to Dave. People usually think it is cool and do not

sabre things. Sometimes they think you are trapped, but I choose to do

this and I am glad. There are reasons for it and it gives me a

chance to explain to other people. If Mitt Romney wins the US election,

he will be the first Mormon to be President of the United States, and

for a religion whose views are not very well-known, that is a pretty

big deal. And you can find more out about the

Mormon religion on the Newsround website. While you're there, check

out Ricky's election blog. He arrived in the US earlier this week

to cover the race to be President. And he's already been scribbling

about it. Next, Manchester United manager

Alex Ferguson says he doesn't believe referee Mark Clattenburg

used racial language in a footy match last weekend. The incident is

being investigated by the police and the FA. But it's also led to

new calls for everything that's said on the pitch to be recorded.

Referees are there to make sure footballers play by the rules.

They've got the power to send players off for bad behaviour and

things can get pretty heated when someone disagrees with their

decision. Refs do wear mics so they can talk to their assistants, but

what they say isn't recorded and it's not heard by anyone else. Now

there are calls to change that. It's after referee Mark Clattenburg

was accused of using inappropriate language to two Chelsea players

last Sunday. It's been claimed he used racial words during the Blues'

defeat to Manchester United, something he denies. But the

argument has highlighted the fact that there is no way of proving

what was said. If that conversation was recorded, if we could hear what

was said between referee and player, we would know.

In rugby, the refs wear mics and people who go to matches can buy

earpieces to hear what they say. The sound is also played on TV.

Players who are abusive to the ref can be punished, and because their

voices are recorded there is proof. With people able to listen in,

people are much more careful about what they say on the pitch. So

would it work in football? We asked this ref for his take on the issue?

I think players would not swear as much. I think they should not be

recorded, because it is turning the game into football and the players

could slip up and say something wrong. We asked the FA and FIFA if

they were thinking about recording referees but they would not comment.

Mark Clattenburg denies doing anything wrong but this could lead

to a shake-up in the game. Finally, Felix Baumgarter, the man

who jumped from the edge of space, says he didn't know he'd broken the

speed of sound until after he landed back on earth. The Austrian

daredevil said he'd wanted to go into space ever since he was five,

and hopes he's inspired a new generation of kids to go on

adventures. We accomplished something that mattered to the

whole world, because I have been getting so many e-mails, pictures,

drawings from little kids inspired by what we did. I talked a lot of

young people who are thankful that we did this, because they missed
