Hello there. You are live with me, Nel, taking you into the weekend | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
with news of a World Cup buzz, plus the big building that dangles you | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
high over the city's skyline. It is Newsround. | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
First, let's go deep under the ocean. Scientists think some sea | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
creatures and plants off the waters in the UK's coastline could hold the | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
key to treating many different illnesses. The ocean - home to some | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
of nature's most magnificent creatures and now, potentially, the | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
place that is holding the secrets to improve some aspects of human | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
health. Here, off the west coast of | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
Scotland, these divers are among the first to try and test the theory | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
that sea life could be used to make new medicines. The plants and | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
animals that live under the ocean have done so for millions of years. | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
They have evolved. They have, as a result, developed a range of | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
chemicals. Some of these chemicals we will have the potential to use in | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
the future for antibiotics or even possibly to cure cancer. There is a | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
lot to go at. The oceans cover more than two-thirds of the Earth's | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
surface. So far, scientists have only looked at a tiny part of it. | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
The European Union think that the oceans have so much to offer that | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
they are planning to spend ?120 million to explore more. For the | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
first time, scientists have started to look in the marine environment, | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
under the oceans to look for new drugs. Many of the drugs that are | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
onshore have already been discovered. There is a huge range - | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
a treasure trove - of chemicals in plants, animals and bacteria in the | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
sea. There's been some criticism of the idea from those who wonder what | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
effects searching the sea in this way could have on wildlife. Even if | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
scientists find what they think they will, it could take a long time to | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
develop and test new medicines. But with big backing and a belief this | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
research could really help people in the future, scientists say they will | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
continue to study the life-saving potential of life beneath the waves. | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
Next, it is just five weeks until the football World Cup starts in | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
Brazil. The buzz around the build-up is about to crank up. The people | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
behind Sean Shaun the Sheep have made the official advert. It has | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
been made using state-of-the-art ammunition. | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
We will use a method called CGI, with which is computer generated | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
imagery. We will create the characters in the computer and then | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
we'll put them into a life action real film scene and try and make | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
them look like they are in the same environment. | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
That's the build-up to the Brazil World Cup sorted. Lots of you have | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
debated how England could do better in future tournaments on the website | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
today. It is after FA chairman, Greg Dyke, was forced to defend new plans | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
to address the lack of young English stars. His special commission | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
recommended a new division for Premier League B teams, which has | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
been criticised. So, we have asked youed for your | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
ideas. Now, to the skyscraper with a | :03:26. | :03:47. | |
difference. This massive building in America has special windows that | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
allow people to tilt forward and hang over Chicago's skyline. It | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
happens 300 metres up, on the 94th floor and the windows tilt at a | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
30-degrees angle. Imagine having to open it for some fresh air! Denmark | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
is gearing up to host the final of the Eurovision Song Contest | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
tomorrow. More than 120 million people are expected to tune in | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
worldwide to see Greece's trampolining entrants and Molly | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
singing Children of the Universe. There's more on the history of the | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
contest on tomorrow's Newsround. We thought we would leave you with some | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
of the best bits over the years. Good evening... | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
# Save all your kisses for me. # I liked a girl... | :04:34. | :05:00. | |
# We're children of t Children of the Universe. | :05:01. | :05:01. |
