Good morning, Jenny here, live with all the news you need

:00:00.:00:00.

Tim Peake does some experiments that are literally out of this world.

:00:07.:00:12.

And the gigantic cartoon statues popping up in Yorkshire.

:00:13.:00:31.

Doctors around the world are looking for ways to help thousands of people

:00:32.:00:34.

in South and Central America, and the Caribbean, that have been

:00:35.:00:37.

Martin has been looking into what it is and

:00:38.:00:40.

Zika is a disease carried by mosquitoes.

:00:41.:00:44.

When a mosquito bites people, it spreads the disease

:00:45.:00:47.

The types of mosquitoes that carry the disease live in tropical

:00:48.:00:53.

countries, so it is not likely to affect the UK.

:00:54.:00:56.

When people do catch the virus, usually it is very mild,

:00:57.:00:59.

so mild they don't even know they were infected afterward.

:01:00.:01:02.

They feel a bit unwell, like they've got

:01:03.:01:04.

But it's more serious if a woman is having a baby.

:01:05.:01:08.

Scientists say they think it may affect how a baby grows

:01:09.:01:11.

Doctors around the world are now coming up

:01:12.:01:15.

While scientists are making new medicines

:01:16.:01:19.

and vaccines to stop Zika virus, everyone is going to be working

:01:20.:01:22.

to make sure people don't get bit by mosquitoes.

:01:23.:01:26.

They're going to try and get rid of the mosquitoes,

:01:27.:01:28.

and that will actually stop a lot of different diseases.

:01:29.:01:35.

First, children across Britain linked up with Tim Peake

:01:36.:01:38.

on the International Space Station yesterday for a big question

:01:39.:01:40.

The British astronaut has been up there for six weeks,

:01:41.:01:44.

but took time out to speak to children and share

:01:45.:01:46.

300 children from across the UK here to put their questions to Major

:01:47.:01:52.

But not only that, around 300,000 children are also logged on right

What is your favourite button on the ISS, and what does it do?

:02:15.:02:20.

This button, on this panel here, actually opens up the door

:02:21.:02:24.

Is there a possibility of a meteor or space junk hitting the ISS?

:02:25.:02:30.

Actually, we do get hit by small particles everyday,

:02:31.:02:36.

and if ever we are in any danger, then the ISS will simply move out

:02:37.:02:40.

of the way, and we will shift orbits to get out of the way
