Afternoon, Newsrounders - Ricky here to tell you how to print a 3D house

:00:00.:00:08.

and why this mountain's up for sale. Stay tuned.

:00:09.:00:17.

But let's start with the topic that's prompted absolutely loads of

:00:18.:00:23.

you to email in today - whether you prefer paper books or electronic

:00:24.:00:25.

versions? Lolly from Wokingham told us she

:00:26.:00:28.

thinks reading books on paper makes them special, telling us - books

:00:29.:00:31.

last forever, but technology doesn't.

:00:32.:00:35.

Rhys agrees that paper books are more reliable, but says electronic

:00:36.:00:38.

copies are good because sometimes you can find free ones!

:00:39.:00:44.

You've been getting in touch after we ran an interview this morning

:00:45.:00:47.

with the author of The Tiger Who Came To Tea. Judith Kerr was

:00:48.:00:50.

speaking about whether paper books will eventually be replaced, with

:00:51.:00:53.

the latest figures showing sales are at an 11-year low. Tim Muffet went

:00:54.:01:01.

to meet her. The reporter who came to tea.

:01:02.:01:05.

Suddenly there was a ring at the door. Sophie's mummy said, I wonder

:01:06.:01:14.

who that could be? I have been invited to Judith Kerr's house, the

:01:15.:01:22.

creator of many children's books. This is the room where the Tiger who

:01:23.:01:30.

came to tea and log came to life? The Tiger who came to tea is the

:01:31.:01:34.

story of younger, Sophie, and a tiger becomes uninvited to the

:01:35.:01:41.

house. Helping himself to all the food and they may have, he even

:01:42.:01:46.

dreads all the water from the taps. I had the children, I made up

:01:47.:01:51.

stories for them. And one was the story about a tiger which my

:01:52.:01:57.

daughter liked and made me tell her again and again. The book was first

:01:58.:02:03.

published back in 1968 and still sells lots of copies today.

:02:04.:02:07.

Judith's stories have remained popular throughout the years but

:02:08.:02:11.

with new ways of reading, does she still think there is a place for

:02:12.:02:19.

paper books, --? Do you worry that children are accessing books through

:02:20.:02:25.

electronic devices? Some votes which you may be read once and don't want

:02:26.:02:30.

to read again, I do not think paper books are ever going to disappear.

:02:31.:02:39.

-- books. And more of you still getting in

:02:40.:02:42.

touch on this. Bekir likes reading books on paper, but says - when I

:02:43.:02:47.

don't have the book with me I read it on my tablet.

:02:48.:02:49.

And Alice prefers paper books because you can turn the pages. She

:02:50.:02:53.

says: I know it sounds weird, but I love the smell of new books!

:02:54.:02:57.

To Ukraine next, where fierce fighting's set to continue today.

:02:58.:02:59.

The government there says it'll carry on with plans to try and

:03:00.:03:03.

re-take control of several towns and cities in the East of the country.

:03:04.:03:06.

Armed groups who want more Russian influence in those places have taken

:03:07.:03:09.

over government buildings and airports recently and there were

:03:10.:03:12.

serious clashes yesterday. It's all to do with a split between those who

:03:13.:03:15.

support more Russian influence and those who want to be closer to

:03:16.:03:17.

Europe. Next - 3D printing's been used to

:03:18.:03:21.

try and create all kinds of things up until now but could it help to

:03:22.:03:25.

build houses? Well architects in Amsterdam think so. They've started

:03:26.:03:28.

work on a full-size 3D-printed home. They say it could be an

:03:29.:03:30.

environmentally friendly way to construct cities in the future.

:03:31.:03:33.

Here's Jenny. Could this be the way houses are

:03:34.:03:37.

made in future? No beams, bricks or tiles - just a massive 3D printing

:03:38.:03:41.

machine. This is the first project of its kind so how do you print a

:03:42.:03:46.

huge house? The BBC's Anna Holligan took a look at how it works. It is

:03:47.:03:57.

built inside a huge shipping container. Here we have the latest

:03:58.:04:04.

part of the Amsterdam 3D house - this will be the balcony - you can

:04:05.:04:08.

see the machine layering it, almost like a glue gun. Only one section

:04:09.:04:21.

has been made so far. But the people behind it hope eventually all the

:04:22.:04:24.

pieces will slot together, like a giant Lego building! It's expected

:04:25.:04:28.

to take years to complete, but could one-day become a more eco-friendly

:04:29.:04:34.

form of construction. You could shred with plastic into materials.

:04:35.:04:48.

These kids have been given a first-hand view. So do they think

:04:49.:04:51.

the idea could work? It allows us to live without chopping down trees.

:04:52.:04:55.

After all - if there's no plants left, then there's no us left. But

:04:56.:05:00.

the architects working on the project hope it'll make people at

:05:01.:05:03.

least think about how we build things in years to come.

:05:04.:05:14.

Now ever dreamed of owning your own mountain? What do you mean no!

:05:15.:05:23.

Blencathra, in Cumbria is being sold off by its owner to help him pay off

:05:24.:05:28.

a large bill he owes the government. The land belongs to the The Earl of

:05:29.:05:31.

Lonsdale - his family bought the mountain 400 years ago. Whoever buys

:05:32.:05:35.

it would own 2,677 acres, these amazing views and the title Lord of

:05:36.:05:38.

the Manor of Threlkeld. The UK's top hovercraft drivers are on the start

:05:39.:05:44.

line. The first race starts today. The hovercrafts can go from 0-60 in

:05:45.:05:47.

less than four seconds. The sport is popular amongst teenagers and the

:05:48.:05:50.

action can get incredibly heated. You shut your eyes and you go for

:05:51.:05:54.

it. You are not looking further breaks, you're not fussing to slow

:05:55.:06:00.

down. That is it. Newsround is back again tomorrow

:06:01.:06:01.
