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. |
