Good morning. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:07 | |
I'm Jenny, live with all the news you need to know this Thursday. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
Coming up in the next few minutes... | 0:00:10 | 0:00:11 | |
The smoky fog that's choking some of China's big cities. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
And Chelsea's mega unbeaten run comes to an end against Spurs. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:19 | |
First up, the person whose job it is to speak up | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
for kids in England, called the Children's Commissioner, | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
says you need more advice about staying safe online. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
She says lessons should start when kids are four and the rules | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
of apps should be clearer. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
But do you agree? | 0:00:45 | 0:00:46 | |
The Commissioner told Newsround what she thinks should happen. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:51 | |
Well, I want to see lessons in every school. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
We want to put together all the children in secondary | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
schools with younger children to lead those lessons and make sure | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
children learn things that they need to know about their time online. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:03 | |
You should have an independent person who you can go to if things | 0:01:03 | 0:01:10 | |
go wrong online and they can help sort out those difficulties. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:17 | |
So what do you think about the idea of lessons in schools? | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
We asked these children. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
When you're older, you do need them to stay safe as you know a lot | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
more about social media, how to log on. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
When you're younger, you might forget a lot | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
and not really know. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:30 | |
So there's no real point wasting time on it. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
When you are in primary, it is never about that. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:39 | |
It is just about what game you're playing or something. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
I know that most kids, they don't read the terms and conditions. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
So, I think the terms and conditions and the important stuff that | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
you need to know about setting up a profile, they need to be more | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
talked about and kids need to be told about privacy settings. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:57 | |
Rules need to be short and snappy, like one, two, three, not 15 pages. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:02 | |
In lessons, I would like to find out more about how children are put | 0:02:02 | 0:02:09 | |
in a position to be bullied and how we can prevent that. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
So, by reading shorter terms and conditions and by going on sites | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
that you should be allowed on and not other ones. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
We want to know what you think about this. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:26 | |
Should all kids get lessons about sharing safely online? | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
Do you need more information about what you are signing up | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
to when you use social media apps? | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
Get to Newsround online and have your say. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
We'll read some of your comments out later. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
The Chinese capital of Beijing is on red alert because a thick | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
blanket of pollution, called smog, has been covering | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
the city for the last week. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:43 | |
People have been saying it's the worst-ever case, | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
and it's been causing all sorts of problems. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
It could so easily be mistaken for a winter mist, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:57 | |
slowly creeping around the buildings and down the streets of Beijing. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
But the people living there know better. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:01 | |
Over the last week, northern parts of China, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
including the capital, Beijing, have been badly affected | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
by high levels of air pollution, which is referred to as smog. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:12 | |
This means that the air has become so polluted that the particles | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
in it can actually be seen and it looks like a smoky fog, | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
hence the word "smog". | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
It can be caused by factories burning lots of coal and exhaust | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
from high levels of traffic. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:29 | |
The weather also plays a major part, and if there is not much wind, | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
polluted air can gather and stay in one place for a long time. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
Beijing is particularly bad at this time of year as the cold | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
temperatures mean the factories to the south of the city burn more | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
coal to keep you warm. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:47 | |
Smog can cause health problems by making it difficult to breathe, | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
irritating the eyes and nose and making it harder | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
for the body to fight infections and illnesses properly. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
It has a huge impact on people's lives. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
People have to take precautions if they leave their house, | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
such as wearing facemasks. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
In some cases, schools have to be closed and kids | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
are made to stay inside. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
Hundreds of flights have had to be cancelled and roads shut | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
because of low visibility. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:12 | |
Factories have also been closed to stop the situation getting worse. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
China's government says that it is working hard to reduce | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
the amount of pollution in the air. | 0:04:17 | 0:04:19 | |
But, for now, it is hoped that the winds predicted for the end | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
of the week will clear the air and blow the smog away. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:30 | |
Chelsea's incredible winning streak is over, | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
after they were beaten 2-0 by Tottenham Hotspur | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
at White Hart Lane. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
Two goals from Dele Alli ended Chelsea's run of 13 consecutive wins | 0:04:36 | 0:04:41 | |
and moves Spurs up to third. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:46 | |
