Ricky and you're watching Newsround, live from Salford. Coming up... A

:00:09.:00:12.

call for more money to help beat world hunger. Frank Lampard answers

:00:12.:00:15.

some big questions from you guys. And... And a tiger cub's happy

:00:15.:00:23.

birthday - caught on camera! This is Newsround.

:00:23.:00:26.

The Prime Minster, David Cameron, is hosting a big meeting today to work

:00:26.:00:29.

out how to tackle world hunger. Charities hope billions of pounds

:00:29.:00:34.

can be raised to help those who need it most. It's thought three million

:00:34.:00:37.

African children die every year because they don't get enough to

:00:37.:00:42.

eat. It is hoped the extra money will help the world's poorest

:00:42.:00:45.

countries do things like grow their own food. David Cameron says

:00:45.:00:55.
:00:55.:00:56.

something must be done. There are still one people -- 1 billion people

:00:56.:01:00.

in our world going hungry, and 165 million children are so malnourished

:01:00.:01:03.

that by the age of two, their minds and bodies will never fully

:01:03.:01:08.

developed. This is a massive issue for humanity. Later this afternoon,

:01:08.:01:11.

tens of thousands of campaigners will meet in London's Hyde Park, to

:01:11.:01:14.

demand action from the world's richest nations. Big names like

:01:14.:01:20.

Microsoft boss Bill Gates will be there. Let's hear now from Frank -

:01:20.:01:23.

he's 16 and from Tanzania in East Africa. He campaigns for children's

:01:23.:01:33.
:01:33.:01:35.

rights. When I was two, my parents had to give me to my grandmother,

:01:35.:01:43.

while they went out to work. Drought came, the crops did not grow and the

:01:43.:01:48.

food was too expensive, so I did not get enough to eat. I am 16, which

:01:48.:01:53.

you might find hard to believe, but if you do not eat, you do not grow.

:01:53.:01:56.

Next - the former South African President Nelson Mandela is back in

:01:56.:02:00.

hospital. The 94-year-old is suffering from a lung infection. His

:02:00.:02:04.

condition has been described as serious but stable. It is the third

:02:04.:02:08.

time in six months that he has been in hospital. Nelson Mandela is one

:02:08.:02:11.

of the world's most respected figures for his work to rid South

:02:11.:02:13.

Africa of apartheid, the system which kept black and white people

:02:13.:02:16.

apart and treated black people as much less important. The BBC's

:02:16.:02:26.
:02:26.:02:28.

Andrew Harding is in South Africa. We have had quite a few of these

:02:28.:02:32.

sudden hospitalisations in the last few months, three this year, another

:02:32.:02:37.

long stay in December, and each time it has been Nelson Mandela's frail

:02:37.:02:42.

lungs that have let him down. Today, for the first time that I am aware

:02:42.:02:45.

of, the presidency used the word serious to describe his condition.

:02:45.:02:49.

In the past they have been very careful to keep a distance, if you

:02:49.:02:54.

like a and often not to tell us very much information at all. If you're

:02:54.:02:57.

having fish and chips for lunch, there's a bit of good news today

:02:57.:03:01.

about the amount of cod in the North Sea. Over-fishing had meant that

:03:01.:03:03.

numbers were getting dangerously low. Now though, it now looks like

:03:03.:03:07.

those numbers have started to go up again. The group which checks catch

:03:07.:03:10.

numbers says it is down to strict limits on how many cod are caught.

:03:10.:03:14.

But they say it is too soon to know when the levels will fully recover.

:03:14.:03:18.

He's famous for what he does with his feet, but now Frank Lampard is

:03:18.:03:20.

trying his hand at writing children's books. The midfielder

:03:20.:03:23.

turned author won every honour possible on the pitch with Chelsea,

:03:23.:03:33.
:03:33.:03:33.

but now it's time for his biggest test - answering your questions! The

:03:34.:03:43.
:03:44.:03:44.

first one comes from Diana, from Kent... Can I be a girl? My girl

:03:44.:03:49.

loves Matilda, just having a special power. That would be incredible.

:03:49.:03:56.

Even from Cheltenham says... When I was younger, if I was reading books,

:03:56.:04:02.

it would be rolled out. I do not know really, I was inspired probably

:04:02.:04:07.

by my kids, reading books to them. I could not really give you any one

:04:08.:04:17.
:04:18.:04:24.

author. Train hard, simple as that. And thanks for saying that! I kick

:04:24.:04:29.

around lots of ideas, I put things down in my diary when I am

:04:29.:04:34.

travelling. I will scribble it down, and end up with 20 pages of little

:04:34.:04:38.

scribbles. I would say, do not get frustrated. Sometimes, I hit a dead

:04:38.:04:43.

end, and there is nowhere to go. Then you have just got to shut the

:04:43.:04:47.

book and do it another time. Now - are you enjoying the sunshine? Much

:04:47.:04:51.

of Britain is baking in more lovely warm weather this weekend. But it is

:04:51.:04:53.

not expected to beat Thursday's temperature of 25 degrees - the

:04:53.:04:57.

warmest day of the year so far. On the Newsround website, you have been

:04:57.:05:05.

telling us your sunny plans. Rachel in south Gloucestershire says...

:05:05.:05:15.
:05:15.:05:27.

Gaby in Leeds says... And the last said to be over the moon after

:05:27.:05:30.

Kirana - one of their Sumatran tigers, gave birth to two cubs

:05:30.:05:33.

earlier in the week. The moment was caught on this CCTV camera at

:05:33.:05:36.

midnight last Sunday. The delivery is extra special because the species

:05:36.:05:39.

is classed as critically endangered - there are only around 400 left in

:05:39.:05:49.
