It's Thursday, I'm Martin, this is Newsround.

:00:00.:00:08.

Coming up: What's life like for kids in China's polluted cities?

:00:09.:00:12.

We meet the panda twins popping out to say hello.

:00:13.:00:16.

And you tell us what info kids need to have fun online safely.

:00:17.:00:25.

The rules need to be short and snappy. 1, 2, 3, not 13 pages.

:00:26.:00:37.

First up, the children's commissioner for England says

:00:38.:00:39.

you should have more power when it comes to your protection online.

:00:40.:00:44.

She has set out what she thinks needs to change to help keep

:00:45.:00:47.

you safe and having fun - including extra lessons in school.

:00:48.:00:50.

Younger generations are now starting on Facebook and Instagram.

:00:51.:00:58.

They are maybe under the age of nine.

:00:59.:01:01.

They don't know, they're not aware of the people

:01:02.:01:03.

that are on Facebook, Instagram, that maybe aren't

:01:04.:01:05.

I don't think anyone really cares about their safety

:01:06.:01:10.

It's just, like, "Oh, I'll be all right."

:01:11.:01:13.

If they are learning from a young age, it will be easier for them

:01:14.:01:17.

Anne Longfield is the Children's Commissioner for England.

:01:18.:01:20.

Her job is to protect children's rights and make sure kids'

:01:21.:01:22.

She says that children are not aware of what they're signing up

:01:23.:01:30.

Online and social media lessons in school, starting from age four.

:01:31.:01:36.

Shorter and easier to understand terms and conditions

:01:37.:01:38.

New privacy laws to protect children's information online.

:01:39.:01:45.

We want to put together older children in secondary schools

:01:46.:01:48.

with younger children, to lead those lessons and make sure

:01:49.:01:50.

children learn the things that they need to know

:01:51.:01:52.

Most of the terms and conditions say you shouldn't be using many apps

:01:53.:01:58.

But a Newsround survey last year found 78% of 10-12 year olds

:01:59.:02:03.

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

:02:04.:02:11.

I think the terms and conditions, the important stuff that you need

:02:12.:02:14.

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

:02:15.:02:18.

and kids need to be told about privacy settings.

:02:19.:02:25.

Rules need to be short and snappy, like 1, 2, 3, not 15 pages.

:02:26.:02:31.

You've also been getting in touch at Newsround Online,

:02:32.:02:34.

Children at Whitstone School in Somerset say lessons

:02:35.:02:38.

at school would be good, as long as they weren't boring

:02:39.:02:41.

Leah says she thinks terms and conditions need to be shorter

:02:42.:02:47.

because they just want to get on with it and not

:02:48.:02:49.

And Alix says he already knows a lot about social media and feels

:02:50.:02:54.

like he can stay safe on the internet.

:02:55.:02:57.

The Children's Commissioner says it's up to the Government

:02:58.:02:59.

and schools to help you learn what you're doing online,

:03:00.:03:02.

to stay safe and, most importantly, to have fun.

:03:03.:03:09.

Now to China where there is a huge problem with air pollution

:03:10.:03:12.

Smog, which is like a smoky fog, can cause health problems and many

:03:13.:03:16.

shops, offices and schools have to close.

:03:17.:03:19.

Sophie, who lives in the capital Beijing,

:03:20.:03:21.

I live in Beijing, the capital of China.

:03:22.:03:27.

In my city, we have a lot of smog, also known as pollution.

:03:28.:03:31.

In my day-to-day life, when pollution gets bad,

:03:32.:03:36.

I can't go outside as much as I usually do and I can't get

:03:37.:03:40.

But if I need to go shopping for groceries,

:03:41.:03:48.

or to my friend's house, I'll wear one of these,

:03:49.:03:50.

I've got one at my house, but there's loads more at my school.

:03:51.:04:03.

This means I can go to school on high pollution days.

:04:04.:04:06.

The pollution happens all year round, but not all the time.

:04:07.:04:10.

Do you know when you can't go outside to play

:04:11.:04:13.

It's like that in Beijing, just its pollution instead.

:04:14.:04:23.

The pollution right now is really bad and it's

:04:24.:04:25.

I've lived here for eight years and this is some of the worst

:04:26.:04:29.

Last up - check out these cute panda twins.

:04:30.:04:37.

This is their first trip outside of their hollow tree.

:04:38.:04:40.

Fu Feng and Fu Ban were born last August at a zoo in Vienna,

:04:41.:04:44.

and the Austrian public voted to choose their names.

:04:45.:04:47.

For the time being, they still sleep behind one of the trees,

:04:48.:04:50.

where their mum can keep an eye on them.

:04:51.:04:53.

That's all from me, Newsround's back at 7.40 tomorrow.
