Hi, I'm Hayley with your Newsround update.

:00:00.:00:00.

The whale rescued after two days stranded on a beach.

:00:00.:00:14.

And Jenny meets Pudsey the dog who is starring in a new film.

:00:15.:00:22.

Lots of you won't have been in school today because

:00:23.:00:24.

Over a million people, including council workers,

:00:25.:00:30.

nurses and firefighters, refused to go to work as a form of protest.

:00:31.:00:33.

It's the biggest argument over pay that the current Government has ever

:00:34.:00:38.

faced and it?s affected services across England,

:00:39.:00:44.

Strikers when workers agree not to work free specific period of time to

:00:45.:00:58.

protest about something that they think is unfair at their work. They

:00:59.:01:02.

think politicians will then listen carefully to what they want.

:01:03.:01:05.

Teachers think they are having to work too hard to be able to do

:01:06.:01:13.

things properly. The support staff are also going on strike because

:01:14.:01:17.

they are not being paid enough. People in the UK have had the right

:01:18.:01:22.

to legally strike the 200 years. The first big strike was held in 1926

:01:23.:01:27.

when nearly all of the UK came to a standstill over a row about the

:01:28.:01:32.

working conditions for coal miners. Since then people have gone on

:01:33.:01:35.

strike over things like pay, working conditions, equal treatment for men

:01:36.:01:41.

and women and job losses. After a series of big protests by miners in

:01:42.:01:45.

the 1980s, the Government introduced new rules to make it harder to

:01:46.:01:50.

strike. Today, the Government say they can't afford to pay what the

:01:51.:01:54.

people on strike are asking for. We can only do what we can afford to do

:01:55.:02:00.

as a country. The only people injured by these strikes are those

:02:01.:02:02.

people that have nothing to do with the dispute whatsoever. It might be

:02:03.:02:08.

an extra day off school for you but for other teachers and the

:02:09.:02:12.

Government the row is expected to continue for longer.

:02:13.:02:16.

A baby whale which had been stranded on a beach in Australia

:02:17.:02:19.

for two days has finally made it back into open water.

:02:20.:02:21.

Hundreds of people turned out to help the mammal which washed up

:02:22.:02:24.

They shaded it from the sun and used a special harness to help

:02:25.:02:29.

It's not known why the young animal ended up there but it?s

:02:30.:02:35.

It's not known why the young animal ended up there but it's

:02:36.:02:37.

You might know him from Britain's Got Talent but now Pudsey the dog

:02:38.:02:43.

Jenny's been to meet Ashleigh and Pudsey to find out what it's

:02:44.:02:48.

It starts off in London and Pudsey thinks he doesn't need anybody until

:02:49.:03:06.

he finds his family, who moved to the countryside. Pudsey fellows and

:03:07.:03:12.

gets into trouble. Nobody to bother me! I had new challenges. I had to

:03:13.:03:20.

teach in sign language. Good boy. He has just dribbled on me! It was a

:03:21.:03:27.

lot of hard work. We were literally living Pudsey the movie for several

:03:28.:03:32.

weeks but it was fun. David Williams plays the voice of Pudsey. How was

:03:33.:03:38.

that? With such an important job, I needed somebody that I could trust

:03:39.:03:42.

and I knew he would do a brilliant job. It is strange because every I

:03:43.:03:50.

look at Pudsey I think of David's voice, which is weird. Pudsey is

:03:51.:03:54.

going to meet the new Blue Peter job. How will that get on? They will

:03:55.:04:00.

get on well. Pudsey loves other dogs is very friendly.

:04:01.:04:04.

And tune into Blue Peter this afternoon to

:04:05.:04:06.

see Pudsey meet Iggy and he'll be performing some tricks too.

:04:07.:04:09.

Now let?s jump to another story, one with a definite spring in its step.

:04:10.:04:12.

An old mine in Wales has been transformed into

:04:13.:04:14.

The playground has lots of different layers and people can

:04:15.:04:18.

It's twice the size of St Paul's Cathedral

:04:19.:04:21.

and has a kilometre of ropes holding the trampolines in place.

:04:22.:04:24.

And finally a crocodile isn't a wedding guest anybody would want

:04:25.:04:33.

to see but the mayor of a fishing town in Mexico has married one!

:04:34.:04:38.

It sounds strange, but it's a tradition there because people

:04:39.:04:41.

believe the croc is a princess and that the ceremony will bring them

:04:42.:04:45.

After the wedding, there was a party where

:04:46.:04:48.

I wonder if the guests bought the newlyweds some CROC-kery!

:04:49.:04:56.

Do you get it? That was snappy! Newsround is back

:04:57.:05:18.

It's official. Some people just don't get it. Blah, blah, blah.

:05:19.:05:21.

You don't actually need a telly to watch telly. Duh.

:05:22.:05:25.
