Good morning.

0:00:050:00:06

I'm Jenny, live with all the news you need to know this Thursday.

0:00:060:00:09

Here's what's coming up...

0:00:090:00:11

The smoky fog that's choking some of China's big cities.

0:00:110:00:15

A new campaign to get more kids into science.

0:00:150:00:18

And Chelsea's mega unbeaten run comes to an end against Spurs.

0:00:180:00:22

First up, the person whose job it is to speak up

0:00:350:00:38

for kids in England, called the Children's Commissioner,

0:00:380:00:40

says you need more advice about staying safe online.

0:00:400:00:42

She says lessons should start when kids are four and the rules

0:00:420:00:45

of apps should be clearer when you sign up.

0:00:450:00:47

But do you agree?

0:00:470:00:48

The Commissioner told Newsround what she thinks should happen.

0:00:480:00:55

Well, I want to see lessons in every school.

0:00:550:00:57

We want to put together all the children in secondary

0:00:570:01:00

schools with younger children to lead those lessons and make sure

0:01:000:01:03

children learn things that they need to know about their time online.

0:01:030:01:08

You should have an independent person who you can go to if things

0:01:080:01:11

go wrong online and they can help sort out those difficulties.

0:01:110:01:21

So what do you think about the idea of lessons in schools?

0:01:210:01:24

We asked these children.

0:01:240:01:27

When you're older, you do need them to stay safe as you know a lot

0:01:270:01:31

more about social media, how to log on.

0:01:310:01:33

When you're younger, you might forget a lot

0:01:330:01:35

and not really know.

0:01:350:01:36

So there's no real point wasting time on it.

0:01:360:01:38

When you are in primary, it is never about that.

0:01:380:01:40

It is just about what game you're playing or something.

0:01:400:01:44

I know that most kids, they don't read the terms and conditions.

0:01:440:01:51

So, I think the terms and conditions and the important stuff that

0:01:510:01:53

you need to know about setting up a profile, they need to be more

0:01:530:01:58

talked about and kids need to be told about privacy settings.

0:01:580:02:01

Rules need to be short and snappy, like one, two, three, not 15 pages.

0:02:010:02:08

In lessons, I would like to find out more about how children are put

0:02:080:02:14

in a position to be bullied and how we can prevent that.

0:02:140:02:17

So, by reading shorter terms and conditions and by going on sites

0:02:170:02:20

that you should be allowed on and not other ones.

0:02:200:02:24

We want to know what you think about this.

0:02:240:02:27

Should all kids get lessons about sharing safely online?

0:02:270:02:30

Do you need more information about what you are signing up

0:02:300:02:33

to when you use social media apps?

0:02:330:02:35

Get to Newsround online and have your say.

0:02:350:02:40

The Chinese capital of Beijing is on red alert because a thick

0:02:400:02:44

blanket of pollution, called smog, has been covering

0:02:450:02:47

the city for the last week.

0:02:470:02:49

It's been causing all sorts of problems.

0:02:490:02:50

Martin's got this one.

0:02:500:02:51

It could so easily be mistaken for a winter mist,

0:02:510:02:57

slowly creeping around the buildings and down the streets of Beijing.

0:02:570:02:59

But the people living there know better.

0:02:590:03:02

Over the last week, northern parts of China,

0:03:020:03:04

including the capital, Beijing, have been badly affected

0:03:040:03:08

by high levels of air pollution, which is referred to as smog.

0:03:080:03:12

This means that the air has become so polluted that the particles

0:03:120:03:18

in it can actually be seen and it looks like a smoky fog,

0:03:180:03:21

hence the word "smog".

0:03:210:03:23

It can be caused by factories burning lots of coal and exhaust

0:03:230:03:26

from high levels of traffic.

0:03:260:03:30

The weather also plays a major part, and if there is not much wind,

0:03:300:03:33

polluted air can gather and stay in one place for a long time.

0:03:330:03:36

Beijing is particularly bad at this time of year as the cold

0:03:360:03:39

temperatures mean the factories to the south of the city burn more

0:03:390:03:42

coal to keep people warm.

0:03:420:03:44

Smog can cause health problems by making it difficult to breathe,

0:03:440:03:48

irritating the eyes and nose and making it harder

0:03:480:03:51

for the body to fight infections and illnesses properly.

0:03:510:03:54

It has a huge impact on people's lives.

0:03:540:03:57

People have to take precautions if they leave their house,

0:03:570:04:00

such as wearing facemasks.

0:04:000:04:03

In some cases, schools have to be closed and kids

0:04:030:04:05

are made to stay inside.

0:04:050:04:09

Hundreds of flights have had to be cancelled and roads shut

0:04:090:04:12

because of low visibility.

0:04:120:04:13

Factories have also been closed to stop the situation getting worse.

0:04:130:04:16

China's government says that it is working hard to reduce

0:04:160:04:18

the amount of pollution in the air.

0:04:180:04:20

But, for now, it is hoped that the winds predicted for the end

0:04:200:04:24

of the week will clear the air and blow the smog away.

0:04:240:04:30

Footie now, and Chelsea's incredible winning streak is over

0:04:300:04:32

after they were beaten 2-0 by Tottenham Hotspur

0:04:320:04:34

at White Hart Lane.

0:04:340:04:38

Two goals from Dele Alli ended Chelsea's run of 13 consecutive wins

0:04:380:04:44

and moves Spurs up to third.

0:04:440:04:46

And from goals to golds...

0:04:460:04:47

Double Paralympic champion Kadeena Cox is having the money

0:04:470:04:49

she gets from UK Sport stopped after she said she was

0:04:490:04:53

going on the Channel 4 programme, The Jump.

0:04:530:04:57

UK Sport say she will get it back when she starts training again.

0:04:570:05:03

Kadeena says having the condition multiple sclerosis has

0:05:030:05:05

changed her outlook, and she's looking forward

0:05:050:05:07

to enjoying the skiing.

0:05:070:05:08

What's your favourite subject at school?

0:05:080:05:09

Only 15% of you say you would like to be

0:05:090:05:12

scientists when you grow up, so now a new project has been set up

0:05:120:05:15

called Terrific Scientific.

0:05:150:05:17

The campaign hopes to bring science skills into the classroom by getting

0:05:170:05:21

kids to do investigations that will help with real

0:05:210:05:23

scientific studies.

0:05:230:05:26

Scientist Liz Bonnin thinks that the way we think

0:05:260:05:28

about science needs to change.

0:05:280:05:30

For some strange reason, science still has a lot

0:05:300:05:32

of stereotypes attached to it - ie, you've got to be

0:05:320:05:35

brainy to like science, or you have to work in a lab,

0:05:350:05:38

be an older gentleman with glasses and be extremely boring.

0:05:380:05:40

And it couldn't be further from the truth.

0:05:400:05:46

That's all from us for now.

0:05:460:05:48

Newsround's back right here at 4.20pm.

0:05:480:05:50

Don't forget to head online to tell us what you think would help kids

0:05:500:05:54

handle the online world better.

0:05:540:05:55

Have a brilliant day!
