Good afternoon! You're watching Newsround with me, Ricky. On the | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
way... The Olympic torch blasts off into space. The secret world of | :00:11. | :00:23. | |
spies becomes less secret. Why balloons are being used in the fight | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
against crime. First, while you guys were sleeping early this morning - | :00:29. | :00:36. | |
this happened. We have liftoff. An Olympic torch blasted into space. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
It's all part of Russia's preparations for the Winter Games in | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
Sochi next year. For many, this part of the torch relay is being seen as | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
a chance for Russia to show itself off as a strong and modern country, | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
a world leader when it comes to space. Watch out for the flashes in | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
Leah's report. It was still dark early this morning when three | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
cosmonauts and one very special torch started its mission. We have | :01:02. | :01:09. | |
liftoff! For many, this blastoff will be a moment they will not | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
forget, especially people watching from the launch site in Kazakhstan. | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
There it goes, off to the International Space Station with the | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
Olympic torch on board! It is so loud you can feel it in your feet. | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
It is a dramatic reminder of Russia's leading role in | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
It is a dramatic reminder of space flight. All the excitement | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
built up to next year. Next - it's been a huge | :01:40. | :02:02. | |
day in the usually super-secretive world of spying. For the first time | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
ever, bosses from the UK's three top spy agencies have been shown on TV, | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
being grilled by a group of MPs They defended the work of Britain's | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
spies, with the head of MI5 saying that they worked for "freedom and | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
democracy". Spying has been big news in recent months, after documents | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
suggesting that US and UK spy agencies have been able to tap into | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
millions of emails were published in a newspaper. You are travelling | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
through the same waters where you disappeared. If you wanted to catch | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
spies on film this is as close as you can get. Shows like CBBC's MI | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
High, Spykids or James Bond. But today, for the first time, the heads | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
of the UK's three main spying agencies MI5, MI6 and GCHQ appeared | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
Live on TV for the first time in front of a committee of MPs. They | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
might just look like men in suits but it's a huge moment. These are | :02:56. | :03:05. | |
people who you hear about but you do not see them. We are going to be a | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
bit more wise by the end of today with regards to the world is that | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
spies living and what they are up against. Years ago, top spies | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
appearing like this would never have happened. Their faces were never | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
shown, and their identities were kept secret. But more recently, spy | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
agencies have become more open. So who are the three main agencies and | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
what do they do? MI5's role is to protect the UK itself from any | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
threats from terrorism or violence. MI6 tries to find out | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
threats from terrorism or violence. from overseas. And GCHQ listens to | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
phone calls and reads emails from all | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
phone calls and reads emails from spy bosses are answering questions | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
about how they collect info using mobiles and the internet. It's after | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
US security worker Edward Snowden leaked details of spying missions to | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
a British newspaper which suggested that millions of emails have been | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
monitored. The public grilling of these top spies today is seen as | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
such a big deal because of the news that so much spying has been going | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
on. Everyone accepts that spies need to do their work in secret to keep | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
the country safe. But many think we need to know more about their | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
methods to make sure that they don't gather more secret info than they | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
really need. Next - Justin Bieber is in trouble | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
with police in Brazil after apparently painting on a wall in the | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
south American country. He could be made to pay a fine after pictures | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
which appear to show him spraying graffiti, were printed in local | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
newspapers. Now it's claimed officers want to talk to him about | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
it. Finally, spotted any strange balloons in your house recently | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
Police in South Yorkshire are using a very unusual way to warn people | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
about the risks of burglary - by breaking in to homes themselves | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
Officers try to enter unlocked houses through doors or windows and | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
leave a balloon to show people living there how easy it was to get | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
in. I would be petrified if I found one of though -- those balloons in | :04:51. | :04:59. | |
my house. Lego fans - head over to the Newsround website | :05:00. | :05:01. |
