Good afternoon, I'm Jenny and this is Newsround. | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
First up, the Queen has unveiled a new war | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
It's to pay tribute to the UK men and women who served | :00:16. | :00:23. | |
in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, between 1990 and 2015. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
A special service took place, where the sculpture was shown | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
for the first time, and Prince Harry, who served in Afghanistan, | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
Next, what should Britain do about the children, escaping war, | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
who have travelled to Europe on their own? | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
It's part of a big argument, about whether the UK has already | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
done enough to help child refugees, or whether it should do more. | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
I went to meet one politician who was a child refugee himself, | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
and has been campaigning to allow more lone children into the UK. | :00:51. | :00:59. | |
This was Europe 80 years ago. Many people were fleeing the Nazis, who | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
killed millions of people in Europe in what is known as the Holocaust. | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
The largest group of victims were Jewish people, almost seven out of | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
every ten Jews living in Europe were killed. But more than 10,000 | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
children escaped to safety in the UK. One of them was Alf Dubs who | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
lived in a country then called Czechoslovakia. He is now a UK | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
politician. I was six years old, living in Prague, the capital | :01:31. | :01:43. | |
city, and then the Germans occupied Prague in March 19 39. Things | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
changed and there were German soldiers everywhere, tanks, German | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
soldiers marching in the streets. My mother was refused permission to | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
leave, she put me on the Kindertransport, the trains that | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
took thousands of people to Britain to safety, maybe Jewish children. I | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
can still remember the scene, my mother looking anxious, a friend of | :01:59. | :02:38. | |
hers, I was about the youngest person on the train, there were | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
maybe 150 people on the train -- 150 children and then we went on the | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
train, on the night boat and on the train to Liverpool Street station. | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
Looking back how important was the Kindertransport to you? My chances | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
of being alive would have been nil if I had not come out on the | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
Kindertransport. I think the Kindertransport saved my life. Many | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
children are still arriving in Europe today, how do you think they | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
feel? I think it's tough. It is awful that thousands of young | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
children have no one to protect themselves with my colleagues, I | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
thought we should have a campaign to get some of these children to this | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
country, to safety. What did you hope what happened? I hope several | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
thousand of them would come to Britain. I never said they should | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
all come to Britain. I hoped they would find a bit of love and safety | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
after their experiences. The government said 200 loan children | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
had been brought to Britain under the scheme set up by Alf Dubs and | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
that it would close. There is now a row about whether the UK Government | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
has done enough. Alf Dubs doesn't think so. I am bitterly | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
disappointed, not for myself but for the children because they had a hope | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
of a better life under the government feel ashamed for what | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
they've done. The government say they have helped unaccompanied | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
children and councils can't take any more and it only encourages more | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
children to make a dangerous journey across Europe. What do you say to | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
that? I don't agree. Councils have said we can take some or more, we | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
just have to be asked. You can't say because some might come we are going | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
to ignore the others. It is awful, we can't turn our backs on them. I | :03:50. | :03:57. | |
think it's shocking what the government have done and we are | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
going to hard with them at every opportunity to say that they should | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
change their minds. We asked the government to respond. They said, we | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
want to do everything we can to protect children fleeing conflict. | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
They say they have helped more than 8000 children in the last year and | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
20,000 Syrians will get a new home in the UK by 2020. | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
One of the most amazing comebacks of all time. | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
Barcelona were down 5-3 on aggregate in the 88th minute | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
against Paris St-Germain but then this happened. | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
Neymar scored two cracking goals in the final minutes of the game. | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
They were followed by another goal for Barca from Sergi Roberto. | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
The last minute goals secured one of the most amazing comebacks, | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
of all time, and made Champions League history. | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
The win means Barcelona are in the quarter-finals | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
