Hi, I'm Jenny you're watching Newsround right here on CBBC. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
Coming up over the next six minutes... | 0:00:10 | 0:00:11 | |
You've been telling us who you think will win the Six Nations. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
And you'll never guess what has been found under this school playground! | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
This is Newsround. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
First, one of the biggest, most colourful carnivals | 0:00:27 | 0:00:31 | |
in the world has started in Rio, in Brazil. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
More than a million people are expected in the city to take | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
part in the celebrations. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
People wear amazing costumes and dance through the streets. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
The carnival is still going ahead, | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
despite worries about a virus called Zika, which is spreading | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
in South America. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:47 | |
Martin has been looking into what it is and how to fight it. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
Zika is a disease carried by mosquitoes. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
When a mosquito bites people, it can it spread the disease | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
from person to person. | 0:00:57 | 0:00:58 | |
The type of mosquitoes that carry the disease live in tropical | 0:00:58 | 0:01:04 | |
countries, so it's not likely to affect the UK. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
When people do catch the virus, usually it's very mild, | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
so mild that they don't know they were infected afterwards. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:13 | |
You feel a bit unwell, like you've got a cold, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
but it's more serious if a woman is having a baby. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
Scientists say they think it may affect how a baby grows | 0:01:19 | 0:01:24 | |
before it's born. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:25 | |
Doctors around the world are now coming up with ways | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
to try to deal with Zika. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
While scientists are making new medicines and vaccines to stop | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
Zika virus, everyone is going to be working to make sure people don't | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
get bitten by mosquitoes. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
They're going to be trying to get rid of the mosquitoes and that | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
will actually stop a lot of different diseases. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
Thanks, Martin. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
Well, let's head to Rio now to see how the carnival is going. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
The BBC's Julia Caniero is there. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:57 | |
It's the first day in Rio and this is one of the many street parades | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
that are happening across the city. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
500 blocos are to happen during carnival and this one | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
is very traditional. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:05 | |
They are playing the old carnival songs that people here grew up | 0:02:05 | 0:02:13 | |
with and this is a parade or bloco for children and babies, | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
so there are many families here and this is a good example | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
of how people in Brazil learn to enjoy carnival | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
from a very young age. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
Fashion here is very creative and, despite all the problems Brazil | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
is facing, like concern over the Zika virus, | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
the party here is going on as usual. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
OK, it's a big weekend for you rugby fans. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
This afternoon, Ireland will begin their attempt to get | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
three Six Nations titles in a row, when they take on Wales in the | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
final game of the opening weekend. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
Yesterday Scotland were defeated 9-15 to England at Murrayfield, | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
meaning England retained the Calcutta Cup and made a great | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
start in the tournament. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
And France sneaked a win against Italy at the Stade de France, | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
in the opening match of the tournament, | 0:02:57 | 0:02:58 | |
coming from 18-10 down to win 23-21. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
A penalty five minutes from time made all the difference. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:06 | |
Online, we've been asking who you're cheering on and who you want to win | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
and loads of you have been in touch. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
Keep the comments coming. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:13 | |
John in Northern Ireland thinks Ireland will win, | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
because they won it last year. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
because they won it last year. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:19 | |
And Laura, from Cuumbran in Wales says... | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
Next, sport doesn't come much bigger than this - | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
the Superbowl. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
More than 100 million people all round the world will be | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
watching the biggest American football game of the year | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
later, as the Denver Broncos take on the Carolina Panthers. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
And even though it's in America, there is a little bit of Britain | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
in there, too. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
Panthers star Graham Gano was actually born in Arbroath | 0:03:47 | 0:03:52 | |
in Scotland and, although he grew up in the US, | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
he hasn't forgotten his roots. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
My dream growing up was always to play for the Scottish national | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
team and never to play football, so it's changed a little bit, | 0:04:00 | 0:04:05 | |
but I'm really excited to have the jerseys now. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:10 | |
Next, Martin's been to the primary school in Scotland | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
where the skeleton of an old pirate has been found under the playground. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
Want to know more? | 0:04:15 | 0:04:16 | |
I've come to this school in Edinburgh, because experts | 0:04:16 | 0:04:18 | |
believe they could have discovered the remains of a pirate | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
underneath the school playground. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
That's right, a pirate. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
But, Martin, how could a pirate be found underneath our playground? | 0:04:25 | 0:04:27 | |
Let's find out. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
The remains date to aroundabout the 16th century. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:36 | |
It is of a port next to the seaside. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
The actual site was on the beach. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:40 | |
He was relatively small in height. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
He seemed to have had quite a hard working life. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
He had a broken arm when he was younger. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |
So, what do pupils here think about the discovery? | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
I immediately thought, like, Captain Jack Sparrow. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
Like, with a big sword and a big hat and a big feather. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
I thought it was a joke. | 0:04:58 | 0:04:59 | |
I thought our teacher was recommending a story of pirate. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
It just feels, like, amazing. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
And interesting, like everyone wants to see it. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
When you get told that there is bones in your playground, | 0:05:09 | 0:05:17 | |
The thing I don't like about the bones is because we've got bones | 0:05:17 | 0:05:20 | |
in our playground and it's quite freaky. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
Well, it might be freaky to some, but others see the funny side. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
Why are pirates pirates? | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
I don't know. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:29 | |
Because they arrrre! | 0:05:29 | 0:05:30 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
That's all from the team for now. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
But there's loads more online, | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
including these awesome pictures of a volcano erupting in Japan. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
