It's Tuesday afternoon, Ayshah here with your Newsround update. On the | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
way: We've got the story of the pilot of this plane, who made an | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
incredible escape. And how safari park visitors in | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
Japan are getting the chance to get up close with lion cubs! This is | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
Newsround. First, polio is a disease that | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
mainly affects young children, but recently it looked like we were | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
getting very close to getting rid of it forever. But the disease is on | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
the rise in some countries, and doctors are warning that more needs | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
to be done - quickly - to stamp out the illness. Here's Martin. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
It can be prevented by a vaccine with just a couple of drops. The | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
world HAD made huge steps forward in recent years in stopping polio | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
spreading. But now it's back on the rise. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
The vaccine is a weak form of the virus, that makes your body produce | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
antibodies against the polio virus. These antibodies protect you from | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
getting ill if you are infected. But why is polio such a problem? Polio | :01:01. | :01:10. | |
is caused by the polio virus which infects the nervous system, and this | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
destroys the muscles in our arms and legs. It can even affect the muscles | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
that help us breathe. We are seeing a huge outbreak around the world | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
because they are not able to get the vaccine that we are able to get in | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
the UK. In the UK, babies are given the dose | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
along with other vaccinations. It means polio hasn't occurred | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
naturally here for many years - and it's not likely to ever again. But | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
it's not the same story in other parts of the world. The World Health | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
Organisation is now warning that cases of polio in some countries are | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
increasing, calling it a global health emergency. This map shows the | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
countries where polio exists - but some countries are more affected | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
than others. In places like Syria, Afghanistan, | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
and Somalia, war is a major factor and makes getting vaccines to the | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
people who need it more difficult. One of the countries that's seeing a | :02:02. | :02:12. | |
big increase is Pakistan. Militant groups violently oppose | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
immunisation, and many health workers have been attacked. | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
The message from the World Health Organisation is clear: governments | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
in affected countries must act now to stop this preventable disease. | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
Next, should the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City have second | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
teams playing in the Football League? The FA is looking at big | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
plans to try and shake up the league structure, to get more young, | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
home-grown talent in English football. But how would it work? | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
What they are thinking about is the idea of a new competition for the | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
reserve teams of clubs in the top two divisions, and these teams would | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
be composed mainly of young, English players, and that would give them | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
much more experience. One problem is the not enough home-grown players. | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
We have lots of international players, it is that for English | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
players to get into those teams. Where would this fit into the food | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
Link structure? That would raise issues of how promotion and | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
relegation would work. -- food all structure. | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
-- food. Now, this is the last thing you'd | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
expect to find when you come home from school. This small plane | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
crashed into a house in Colorado in America. It's thought that its | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
engine failed. Luckily no-one was home at the time, and amazingly the | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
pilot came away unhurt with just a few cuts and bruises. After escaping | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
from the plane he even attempted to put the out fire himself with a | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
garden hose, before firefighters arrived to save the day. | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
Next up, tomorrow is a big day for women's cycling as the first ever | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
women's Tour of Britain gets under way. Team GB's Olympic legends Laura | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
Trott and Dani King will be taking part in front of cheering home | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
crowds - but sadly not Joanna Rowsell, who's had to pull out with | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
flu. But it still promises to be a big moment for the sport. There is | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
no reason why Britain should not have a stage race. Cycling is | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
massive now. I know how crazy great written is about cycling, they | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
really love the sport. There will be a great experience, and I expect big | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
crowds. And make sure you check out | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
Newsround tomorrow morning, where we'll have a report from the start | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
of the big race. And last up - we all know kittens | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
are fun to play with, but how about baby lions? This pair of cute cubs | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
were born a few weeks ago at a safari park in Japan, and since then | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
have been entertaining visitors, even posing for photos. Their | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
keepers say that while they're this tiny it's OK to have a cuddle with | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
them, before they grow too big and dangerous! | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
That's it from me. But if you're busy swapping World Cup football | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
stickers, join us at 6:50 tonight. Ricky's been getting top trading | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
