Happy New Year, guys, Ricky here with the first Newsround of 2017. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
Here's what's coming up this Tuesday. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:09 | |
We check out what 2017 has got in store in pop, news and TV. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:15 | |
And we meet the kids in India getting glasses from a special van. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:20 | |
Now you know on Newsround we've got things covered, | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
so there's no better way to get things started than with a rundown | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
of some of things to look forward to this year. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:39 | |
Move over 2016, it's all about 2017. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
First up, it's time for Donald Trump to take over | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
from Barack Obama as the president of the United States. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:50 | |
He'll take the oath of office on January 20th, and become | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
America's 45th president. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
Next, let's go to the Alpine World Ski Championships in February. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
They take place in the snowy mountains of Switzerland. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
Brr, I bet that's a bit chilly! | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
The Formula 1 season begins in March, down under. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
The championship is up for grabs with world champ Nico Rosberg | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
retiring from the sport. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
Hotting up, July 1st marks the start of the 104th Tour de France. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
This year the course is steeper than normal. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
Do you know, I think I'm going to leave that up | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
to the cycling pros. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
Also kicking off in July, the Netherlands host | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
the Uefa Women's Euro 2017. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
It's the first final tournament to involve an increased 16 teams. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
Little Mix became their Glory Days tour in Aberdeen two months later. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
But not before British band The Vamps have started their world | 0:01:40 | 0:01:47 | |
tour here in April. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:48 | |
And to finish, although we said goodbye to head judge Len Goodman, | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
Strictly will lead our run-up to Christmas. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
Seven! | 0:01:53 | 0:01:54 | |
And that's not all that is going on in 2017, so be sure to stay tuned | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
to Newsround to find out what else is going to happen | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
throughout the year. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
So that's just some of what's coming up in 2017. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
And we want to know what you're looking forward to? | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
Maybe it's a sporting event, a new hobby or a special trip. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
Get on over to Newsround online and let us know. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:17 | |
Here in the UK, wearing glasses to help you see and read | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
is perfectly normal. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:21 | |
But for young children in poor parts of India, | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
getting help with eye problems is very difficult. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
Now a new scheme is trying to change that. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:32 | |
This is a part of Northern India called Uttar Pradesh. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
It's very large and many people here are poor. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
Going to school and learning is a way out of poverty | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
for children in the area, but sometimes something incredibly | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
simple gets in the way. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
Children with bad eyesight are not able to follow lessons at school, | 0:02:49 | 0:02:53 | |
and because the area is so poor they are unable to get glasses | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
or the help they need. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
TRANSLATION: I feel upset when I cannot study, which I love. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
Because my eyes hurt when I try to read for more than an hour, | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
my interest in studying is also dwindling. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
There is only eye hospital in the region and some parents | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
cannot afford to take the children there. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:16 | |
But help is at hand. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
This is the Orbis Vision Van. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:19 | |
A mobile one-stop shop to help children with vision problems. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
They are doing the first ever eye tests at schools in the region. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:28 | |
The chart they use is so simple, one letter that gets | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
smaller and smaller. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:32 | |
You just have to show which way the letter is pointing, | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
so children can take the test even if they can't read yet. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:40 | |
TRANSLATION: It was an E on the chart but it was blurry. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
I felt anxious when I could not read from the chart clearly. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
I'm not sure why, but I felt so. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
Suhatee can now get her eyes examined and measured for glasses. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
Sehrish also had problems with her vision, but she was able | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
to get help at the van and has now had her specs for two months. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
When she grows up she now wants to be an eye doctor. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
TRANSLATION: Before I would copy the notes down from my friends. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
But now, my friends tell me that you don't need | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
to copy notes from us. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:09 | |
In fact some of them copy the notes I take down nowadays. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
Meanwhile Suhatee and her school friend Kajan have chosen | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
their new specs and are excited to show them off. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
TRANSLATION: I was really happy when I got my glasses. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
TRANSLATION: Even I felt really happy to get my glasses. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
Glasses here give these girls the chance to learn and get | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
jobs when they're older. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
The first Vision Van has been so successful that a second | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
one has been launched, and the future is looking a little | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
clearer for these kids. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
