Hi, I'm Ayshah with your Newsround update. Coming up: | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Oscar winning movie director Steve McQueen talks to me | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
At Wimbledon it's the start of men's semi-finals day! | :00:10. | :00:27. | |
All this week we've been examining the results of a special Newsround | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
survey into aspirations - our hopes and dreams | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
for the future - and now I've turned my attention to Hollywood. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
At this year's Oscars ceremony, one of the big talking points was | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
British film director Steve McQueen winning a major award. | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
He's the first director from a black background to pick up | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
But he's told us he had a hard time at school, and that | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
A survey for Newsround looking at your aspirations for the future | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
suggests that black and Asian children were least likely to say | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
that their teachers would describe them as clever or ambitious. | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
I've been to meet Steve in London to find out more. | :00:58. | :01:07. | |
Hollywood, home of the biggest movies, | :01:08. | :01:08. | |
the brightest and most talented stars, and it hosts some of the | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
British film director Steve McQueen is one of the most popular people | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
Earlier this year he won an Oscar, one of the most important film | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
And it's the first time that someone from a black background has won | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
But when Steve was at school in the UK, | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
There was this situation where black children were not deemed | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
as intelligent or deemed to be able to go on to do anything | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
And it was because of people who believed in me, like my mother and | :01:40. | :01:49. | |
my father, and it was a situation where I was very determined. | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
In our Newsround survey, black and Asian children were less likely | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
than white children to feel like their teachers would describe | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
Steve went to school in the 1970s and thinks that not | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
The circle has to be broken, it's upsetting to think that it?s not. | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
I'm sitting here with you now and I left school nearly 30 years ago | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
and it's still the same rubbish that goes on. | :02:15. | :02:24. | |
So what does he think needs to be done to make children from | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
an ethnic-minority background feel they can succeed in this country? | :02:32. | :02:41. | |
It's about that belief, filling people's lungs with ambition | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
When you narrow people's possibilities then they become | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
narrow, when you open their possibilities they become open, and | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
give them the idea that things are possible, because it's the truth. | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
Steve is working on a new project with American President Barack Obama | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
aimed at helping disadvantaged children do better in school. | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
And it's Steve's dream to bring the project here to the UK and give | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
children the support that they need to have the job of their dreams. | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
Next, we're nearing the end of Wimbledon, | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
and the line-up for the women's final is set with Eugenie Bouchard | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
and 2011 champion Petra Kvitova ready to battle it out on Saturday. | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
But before that, it's the men's semi-finals today and Jenny is | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
Welcome back to Wimbledon on one of the biggest days | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
Andy Murray may be out, but the men's semi-finals still look | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
First up on centre court is Novak Djokovic against Grigor Dimitrov. | :03:39. | :03:47. | |
But just in case you're in any doubt, we've put together | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
This is his moment. Game, set and match. | :03:50. | :04:54. | |
And it's the first two World Cup quarter-finals tonight. Head online | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
