Good morning, guys! | 0:00:11 | 0:00:12 | |
Jenny here with your first Newsround this Monday. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
First, to the experiment with two twin brothers that's | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
completely out of this world. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:17 | |
Watch this. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
This is Scott Kelly. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:21 | |
He's a NASA astronaut and this is his identical twin brother, | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
Mark, who also used to be a NASA astronaut. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
Scott went up to space and lived there for 340 days | 0:00:28 | 0:00:32 | |
and Mark stayed on Earth. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
Scott returned to Earth one year ago. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
NASA is studying them to find out how being in space affected | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
Scott's body and compare it to Mark's on Earth. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
This is what they have found out so far. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
Scott grew around two inches in space. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
His spine expanded because he didn't have the pull of Earth's | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
gravity on his body, but he went back to his | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
normal height soon after returning to Earth. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
The twins have almost identical DNA and this decides | 0:00:57 | 0:01:01 | |
things like how they look. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
The DNA is stored in something called a chromosome, | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
which looks like this. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:07 | |
Whilst Scott was in space, his chromosomes got longer | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
when you would expect them to get shorter, like his twin | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
Mark's on Earth. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
Scientists are trying to work out what this means. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
When Scott came back to Earth they found that his brain | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
was slightly slower than Mark's. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
After a year in space he was taking a bit longer to respond | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
and solve problems in tests. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
NASA wants to use the twins' information to help figure out how | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
to keep astronauts healthy if they ever send them | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
to Mars in the future. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:38 | |
OK, time for a quick round-up of some of the top sport stories: | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
It was a very good weekend for TeamGB at the European | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
Indoor Athletics. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:46 | |
They won seven medals on the final day. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
Laura Muir became only the second Briton to win two individual events | 0:01:48 | 0:01:54 | |
at the games after adding gold in the 3,000 metres to the 1,500 | 0:01:54 | 0:01:59 | |
metres title she took on Saturday. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
To footie now and Spurs are seven points behind Chelsea at the top | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
of the Premier League after beating Everton 3-2. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
It's their ninth home win in the league on the trot - | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
a new club record. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:11 | |
Harry Kane scored two and there was also a goal | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
from his England team mate Delle Ali. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
Manchester City are one point behind Spurs after winning 2-0 at bottom | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
of the table Sunderland. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
Sergio Aguero scored his 23rd goal of the season | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
and Leroy Sane added a second. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
It's a fourth league win in a row for Pep Guardiola's side. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:37 | |
Some music lovers out there may have dreamed | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
of being on a TV talent show, but when Tom got a call | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
from Britain's Got Talent he decided to turn them down. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
I went to find out why. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
"Dear Simon and Britain's Got Talent, thanks for all your phone | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
calls and invitations to your TV talent show. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
Sorry if my first answer wasn't clear enough, | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
but I don't want to be in this competition. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
I sing songs and write songs for other reasons I can't | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
even put into words. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
No need to phone me back as now everyone has seen this | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
so I could never come on your show without looking daft. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
Yours sincerely, Tom". | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
When I was six-years-old I started getting music lessons. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
Who inspires you? | 0:03:15 | 0:03:16 | |
I listen to quite a lot of James Bay. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
He's just a really nice person and it's nice to see that people | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
in the music industry are nice people. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
What do you think is brilliant about performing? | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
The reaction from the crowd. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:27 | |
When you get a good reaction from the crowd, it makes you feel | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
you can be yourself. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:31 | |
What do your friends think about the fact that you do this? | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
They don't really care, in fairness. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
Whenever I'm trying to tell them about it, they will tell us to be | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
quiet because they think I'm being a bit big headed. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
How did Britain's Got Talent get in touch and what did they say? | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
They rang us asking if I could do their show | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
and my first answer was no, then they rang us again | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
and we also said no that time. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:51 | |
Then the third time when they rang us we said no again. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
I just feel that it wasn't a show that I wanted to do. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
I didn't really want to take part in a music talent show | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
and I like what I'm doing at the moment. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
I'm enjoying myself. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:03 | |
And why did you decide to write the letter? | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
We were getting a bit irritated by the fact they kept on ringing us | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
and it was just a nice way of letting them know that we didn't | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
want to be on the TV talent show. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
What do you think of TV talent shows? | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
I don't think there is anything wrong with them, I just thought | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
that it wasn't really something that I wanted do. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
I think it is important for me to do things my way | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
so I can feel like myself. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
What are your hopes for the future? | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
Well, I'm just going to take it as it comes, to be honest. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
I would love to, obviously, have music as my career, | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
but I'm just going to play the gigs that come and see how it goes. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:41 | |
That's all from me. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
