humans. This eight-week-old seal pup was washed up in yesterday's high

:00:59.:01:01.

tide at Portreath in Cornwall. He travelled hundreds of metres in the

One of the world 's most popular websites is celebrating its 10th

:01:19.:01:23.

birthday. Facebook was launched in 2004 in America. A decade later and

:01:24.:01:29.

it has more than 1.2 million active users worldwide. On average, 750

:01:30.:01:37.

million people log on each day. Facebook has come under fire from

:01:38.:01:42.

critics who say the site stores too much of our private information.

:01:43.:01:54.

Next up - are you learning a foreign language at school? Well if not the

:01:55.:01:57.

chances are you will be from September. That's because from then

:01:58.:01:59.

all primary schools in England will have to teach foreign languages. But

:02:00.:02:03.

it might not be the traditional French or German you're learning,

:02:04.:02:06.

because if the Prime Minister gets his way, more of you will be being

:02:07.:02:09.

taught the Chinese language, Mandarin. Here's Nel with more.

:02:10.:02:15.

It is the most common language in China and spoken by nearly 1 billion

:02:16.:02:20.

people around the world. Soon you could be learning Mandarin. Lots of

:02:21.:02:27.

kids only get to learn another language when they go to secondary

:02:28.:02:30.

school. But soon, that is about to change. From set timbre, all primary

:02:31.:02:36.

schools will have to learn a foreign language and in the past it has been

:02:37.:02:41.

Spanish, French and German. But now the Prime Minister thinks other

:02:42.:02:45.

languages might useful to learn, like Mandarin. China is the most

:02:46.:02:50.

populous country and is one of the most wealthiest. The UK Government

:02:51.:02:54.

thing if more people can speak Mandarin here, the more business

:02:55.:02:58.

Britain can do with China. At this school in Hampshire, 150 kids are

:02:59.:03:05.

learning Mandarin. And a third of their lessons are taught in the

:03:06.:03:09.

language. I like Mandarin because I don't find it easy learning other

:03:10.:03:16.

languages. Mandarin, I like how the characters are put together. It

:03:17.:03:20.

means in the future I can go to China and get a good job. With the

:03:21.:03:24.

UK doing more business with China, more of you could be...

:03:25.:03:36.

It was a big win for Chelsea in the Premier League last night as they

:03:37.:03:40.

became the first side this season to beat Manchester City at the Etihad

:03:41.:03:42.

Stadium. Branislav Ivanovic's goal in the first half was enough for a

:03:43.:03:47.

1-0 win. It's been three years since City went goalless at home but they

:03:48.:03:50.

couldn't break down Jose Mourinho's side who stay third in the table but

:03:51.:03:54.

level on points with City who are second. The Chelsea manager says he

:03:55.:03:58.

didn't even have to give the team talk, it was the players' massage

:03:59.:03:59.

man! I did not speak. It was the mass

:04:00.:04:05.

Sergeant man but spoke to the team. It was! What did he tell them? He

:04:06.:04:12.

was screaming so much in Scottish, I did not understand him. I am

:04:13.:04:20.

serious. I did not understand, but the players were clapping.

:04:21.:04:28.

One Direction's Louis Tomlinson will make his footie debut for Doncaster

:04:29.:04:32.

Rovers in a few weeks. Tickets to see the singer in action against

:04:33.:04:36.

Rotherham United go on sale this morning. It's thought the singer

:04:37.:04:38.

won't play for the full 90 minutes but he will make an appearance on

:04:39.:04:41.

the pitch. Doncaster Rovers are expecting tickets for the match

:04:42.:04:44.
