This is Your Friday afternoon Newsround, this is what is coming

:00:11.:00:16.

up, all the latest on the beef lasagne made with 100% horsemeat.

:00:16.:00:26.

And meet Norman, the Cycling OK, first, the horsemeat scandal, a

:00:26.:00:30.

big investigation is under way into how a brand of beef lasagne was

:00:30.:00:35.

found to contain up to 100% horsemeat. The food company at the

:00:35.:00:40.

centre, Findus, has apologised and withdrawn the meals from sale. The

:00:40.:00:43.

Food Standards Agency has ordered tests on all processed beef

:00:43.:00:49.

products but it says there is no risk to human health.

:00:49.:00:52.

Food experts are trying to find out how beef burgers became

:00:53.:00:57.

contaminated with horsemeat... It all started with beef burgers.

:00:57.:01:01.

Last month, 10 million of them were taken off the shelves of big shops

:01:01.:01:06.

like Tesco, Little and Iceland after shots of -- traces of horse

:01:06.:01:10.

DNA were found. Now food firms have been told to carry out urgent tests

:01:10.:01:15.

on beef products after a maker of lasagne sold in loads of shops,

:01:15.:01:20.

Findus lasagne, or was found to contain up to 100% horse. How would

:01:21.:01:26.

you feel if I told you at Eton horse? I would feel a bit weird,

:01:26.:01:30.

because I do not want to eat horse. I would want to be sick, because

:01:30.:01:35.

horse is a pet. Stefan knows all about the way food is put together.

:01:36.:01:41.

This recent news about 100% horse meat lasagne is absolutely shocking

:01:41.:01:46.

stuff. It is not necessarily dangerous or bad to eat horsemeat.

:01:46.:01:51.

The stuff itself is fine, it is a meat, but we need to be able to

:01:51.:01:54.

trust the people we buy our food from to give us what we are

:01:54.:01:58.

expecting. The Food Standards Agency, who monitor our food, say

:01:58.:02:03.

it is likely it came into the UK illegally with certain companies in

:02:03.:02:07.

Europe trying to pass of horsemeat as minced beef. But what about your

:02:07.:02:12.

school dinners, where burgers and lasagne are often on the menu? We

:02:12.:02:15.

have spoken to the government department in charge of food, and

:02:15.:02:19.

it says there is no evidence that horsemeat got into school meals.

:02:19.:02:23.

Just in case, they are working with the Food Standards Agency to test

:02:23.:02:27.

all processed meat in the UK, including that which is served in

:02:27.:02:31.

schools and hospitals. The hope is that public trust in the food we

:02:31.:02:35.

buy can be restored. The Government's latest advice is

:02:35.:02:38.

that we should not worry about eating frozen meat products, so no

:02:38.:02:42.

need to throw them away, and there is no reason to suspect there is a

:02:43.:02:46.

health risk. We know that the Premier League is

:02:46.:02:50.

awash with cash, with clubs spending a small fortune on

:02:50.:02:52.

transfer fees and some players being paid millions of pounds a

:02:52.:02:56.

years, but things could be about to change. From next season, clubs

:02:56.:03:00.

will be limited how much they pay their stars and how much debt they

:03:00.:03:04.

can get into. Why is this happening and what effect will it have on the

:03:04.:03:10.

game? Here to explain his Ben Smith. Will this change the game? Will we

:03:10.:03:15.

lose some of our star players? the short term, I think that is

:03:15.:03:20.

unlikely. Looking into the future, some things could happen, Wayne

:03:20.:03:23.

Rooney and Fernando Torres may be tempted to other countries where

:03:23.:03:27.

these rules are not in place and when they can offer bigger wagers.

:03:27.:03:31.

Are we talking about a lot of money? They get paid an awful lot

:03:31.:03:36.

anyway, would make much of a difference? For the big clubs,

:03:36.:03:39.

Manchester United, you probably will not see a change immediately.

:03:39.:03:43.

As I say, as the years go on, it might be, but if they keep making

:03:43.:03:47.

money and selling shirts and getting you in to see matches, that

:03:47.:03:52.

would be important to them. So will the fans benefit from this money?

:03:52.:03:56.

Unfortunately, that is the one thing that will not happen. It is a

:03:56.:04:01.

missed opportunity. There is no cap on ticket prices. The most

:04:01.:04:05.

expensive in England is �126, and that could even go up in years to

:04:05.:04:10.

come. Just months after Superstorm Sandy,

:04:10.:04:13.

the east coast of the United States is bracing itself for another

:04:13.:04:17.

battering, this time from a massive snowstorm. Airlines have already

:04:17.:04:22.

cancelled hundreds of flights as heavy snow is forecast, as much as

:04:22.:04:24.

two feet in some areas, said to combine with hurricane strength

:04:24.:04:29.

wins. The country's weather Service say they could be in for a

:04:29.:04:34.

potentially historic storm. Let me introduce you to the Cycling

:04:34.:04:39.

shido. Norman is a putsch to his talented on wheels as well as a

:04:39.:04:44.

bike. He can skateboard in Ryde a scooter, too. He has even got his

:04:44.:04:49.

own TV show in the States. Do not forget to go over to our website,
