Good morning, I'm Jenny with all the top stories today.

:00:00.:00:10.

The dinosaur footprints found on the Isle of Skye.

:00:11.:00:13.

And the endangered white tigers thriving in China.

:00:14.:00:25.

First, it is a really important day in Parliament today, as MPs decide

:00:26.:00:28.

if the UK should be involved in any future military action in Syria.

:00:29.:00:34.

The group called IS has plotted attacks all over the world,

:00:35.:00:46.

most recently in the French capital Paris.

:00:47.:00:51.

British warplanes were already bombing the group in Iraq,

:00:52.:00:54.

but David Cameron wants Britain to join France, Russia and America to

:00:55.:00:56.

start bombing them in the country next door, Syria, as well.

:00:57.:00:59.

But the Prime Minister wants to get permission from Parliament first.

:01:00.:01:03.

So politicians will spend the whole day debating this and then

:01:04.:01:10.

around 10pm at night, they will have a vote about whether or not to

:01:11.:01:13.

Now, the people who are in favour of bombing very specific areas

:01:14.:01:18.

of Syria say that we have to make life as difficult as possible

:01:19.:01:21.

for IS, so they don't carry out any more attacks.

:01:22.:01:24.

And also to help the people who live in the areas they control.

:01:25.:01:27.

But there are quite a few people who think it is

:01:28.:01:30.

a really bad idea, who think that this could make the situation worse

:01:31.:01:35.

or Britain won't really help, this might even make IS

:01:36.:01:39.

want to carry out even more violence.

:01:40.:01:41.

Whatever happens, it is going to be a very big day, very dramatic here

:01:42.:01:45.

at Parliament, a lot of people watching what the final vote is.

:01:46.:01:52.

And if politicians do vote to go ahead, then British planes could be

:01:53.:01:55.

Over 100 fossilised dinosaur footprints have been found

:01:56.:01:59.

on the Isle of Skye, off the west coast of Scotland.

:02:00.:02:01.

They are from the largest dinosaurs that ever lived,

:02:02.:02:03.

The sauropods lived at what was the biggest dinosaur site in Scotland.

:02:04.:02:11.

We always want to find dinosaur bones, but sometimes people

:02:12.:02:13.

But in many ways footprints are more valuable.

:02:14.:02:19.

Records of dinosaurs moving around right here.

:02:20.:02:22.

So we can tell a lot about how big they were and how they moved.

:02:23.:02:26.

So let's take a look at the top five dinosaur discoveries

:02:27.:02:29.

This dinosaur was discovered in the UK in 1815. It was the earliest

:02:30.:02:49.

discovered and scientifically analysed dinosaur. Although we have

:02:50.:02:55.

fossils of its bones, jaws and teeth, it is still incomplete. This

:02:56.:03:05.

fossil was found back in 1816 -- 1860 in a quarry in Germany. There

:03:06.:03:11.

were the impressions of feathers around the bounce. The 1st evidence

:03:12.:03:15.

that words and dinosaurs were close relatives. Dip the door kiss is the

:03:16.:03:25.

largest skeleton we know of. It was found in America in the 1890s. The

:03:26.:03:41.

terrible core dinosaur was discovered in the 1960s in America.

:03:42.:03:44.

It was the 1st time we realised I'm a source can be fast-moving, highly

:03:45.:03:53.

intelligent, keen sighted predators. In 1996, a discovery in China was

:03:54.:04:01.

virtually complete. There was a trace of fire on the outside. This

:04:02.:04:07.

led to the discovery that many dinosaurs where feathered and some

:04:08.:04:10.

could even fly. Let's look at some sport now,

:04:11.:04:13.

and in football's Capital One Cup quarter-finals,

:04:14.:04:16.

Manchester City thumped Hull 4-1. Everton saw off Middlesbrough 2-0

:04:17.:04:18.

at the Riverside. Stoke City are also

:04:19.:04:20.

in the semi-finals, for the first time in 43 years, after they beat

:04:21.:04:22.

Sheffield on Wednesday, 2-0. Great Britain are through to

:04:23.:04:29.

the quarterfinals of the World Hockey Finals,

:04:30.:04:31.

after drawing 3-3 against Belgium. Goals from Phil Roper,

:04:32.:04:33.

Alastair Brogdon and Alan Forsyth And these five white tiger cubs born

:04:34.:04:35.

at a safari park in China are the size of an adult

:04:47.:04:50.

and they are all bred in captivity.
