It's Monday the 10th of December. Ricky and Leah here to guide you | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
through today's top stories. Here's what's coming up on Newsround: | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
Messi Magic. The Argentine breaks another footballing record. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
Let it snow - Nel hunts out the future stars of the Winter Olympics. | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
And what is this incredible flashing fireball? You're watching | :00:24. | :00:34. | |
:00:34. | :00:46. | ||
But first, grab a pen and paper, we're starting with a history quiz. | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
First question - how many times a year did Elizabeth I have a bath? | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
Second question - what did First World War soldiers use to soften | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
their leather boots? Third question - what problem did Lord Horatio | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
Nelson, Britain's greatest sailor, suffer from? If you watch Horrible | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
Histories you might know the answers. If not, we'll tell you at | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
the end of the programme. We can learn all sorts of interesting | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
things by studying the way people lived in the past, but now the way | :01:15. | :01:25. | |
history is taught in schools could be about to change. | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
These pupils are learning about the Romans, Sue do they think it is an | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
important subject? It is very important because it is very | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
inspiration will. It is fun because you get to do projects on things | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
that you did not really know because it might sound a bit boring | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
but it when you of into it, it is not that all win. I like learning | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
about the past. It be Imperial War Museum in Manchester, they have a | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
range of exhibitions, starting from the First World War. This is a car | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
that had been bombed in Baghdad in Iraq just five years ago. History | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
is such a huge subject. How do schools decide how to teach it? The | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
government decide which topics are chosen but now MPs want to change | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
the way history is taught in England. Many students choose to | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
drop history before GCSEs, with only 41% taking the subject in year | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
10. A new report says children should have to learn history at | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
secondary school for five years instead of two, and teachers should | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
not jump backwards and forwards in time but should learn thing as in | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
the order that they happened. should be an element for five years | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
but I do not think it should be compulsory because some people do | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
not enjoy it. So while some people think history is boring, it looks | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
like in the future we will have to learn more about the past. | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
On the Newsround website today, you've been telling us about your | :02:57. | :03:07. | |
:03:07. | :03:22. | ||
Thank you for all of those. Next - it's been called | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
"unacceptable and appalling" by football bosses. At the end of the | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
Manchester derby yesterday, someone threw a coin from the crowd, | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
hitting Man United's Rio Ferdinand on the head. An investigation has | :03:31. | :03:39. | |
started to work out who did it. But how can we stop this kind of thing | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
from happening? The moment the beautiful game | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
turned ugly. Robin van Persie had just scored a goal when Rio | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
Ferdinand was hit on the head by a 2p coin. It left him needing | :03:55. | :04:05. | |
:04:05. | :04:06. | ||
treatment for a cut above his left eye. | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
Manchester City has condemned the coin throwing and apologised to Rio. | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
They've said they are looking at CCTV footage with the police to try | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
and find who did it. The FA has launched an investigation and its | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
chairman's said that whoever did it In the last Premier League season, | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
24 people were arrested by the police for throwing things onto the | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
pitch during a game. That number has fallen in recent years. The FA | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
told us that clubs and police work together to crack down on things | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
like this. It said stewards and CCTV help to identify offenders so | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
they can be arrested and banned from grounds. One suggestion now | :04:38. | :04:46. | |
being talked about is using netting I think you've got to look at some | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
way where it doesn't affect the view but at the same time it can be | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
protective against missile throwing. Man City is a fantastic club and | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
the supporters are great but you cannot condone this, it is | :04:59. | :05:06. | |
completely out of order. Luckily, Rio wasn't badly hurt. He | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
even managed to get dressed up to appear at this weekend's other big | :05:09. | :05:17. | |
showdown in Manchester that evening. The X Factor final. We couldn't get | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
away without giving up some huge praise for this man. Lionel Messi. | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
The Barcelona player has set a new record for the most goals scored in | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
a year by netting his 86th since January. The Argentine scoring | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
twice in a Spanish league game last night. So let's take a closer look | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
Lionel Messi has now scored 86 goals in 2012. Beating a record | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
that's lasted 40 years. Messi has scored his goals in just 66 games. | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
He's scored 74 goals for his club Barcelona and 12 for his national | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
team Argentina. If you compare Messi with one of the best strikers | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
in the Premier League, Robin van Persie, Messi comes out way on top. | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
Van Persie has scored 38 times for club and country so far in 2012, | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
way behind Messi's 86. Amazingly, Messi still has three games left to | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
add even more goals to his total for the year. So who knows how many | :06:10. | :06:20. | |
:06:20. | :06:21. | ||
Now, whether it was cycling, athletics, or even taekwondo, there | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
were plenty of British gold medal winners at London 2012. But when it | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
comes to the Winter Olympics, Team GB's record isn't so golden. | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
hit the slopes with Amy Williams, Team GB's last gold winner at a | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
Winter Games, to try and find some future medal hopefuls. | :06:36. | :06:46. | |
:06:46. | :06:46. | ||
Fast, cold, and sometimes a little dangerous. The Summer Olympics are | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
well and truly over so now it's time for something a lot cooler! | :06:52. | :07:00. | |
What?! This summer, Team GB got 65 medals but in the last Winter | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
Olympics in 2010, a Team GB only managed one. | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
A gold from Amy Williams in the Skelitan Bobsleigh. But she's | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
hoping that that could soon all change. This summer sport always | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
get the press. You open up the back page and it is the same sports. | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
London has shown that the smaller sports are just as good at bringing | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
medals and I am trying to show that winter sports are still here! It is | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
winter now, let's get us into the papers! But to get more medals, we | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
need more medal hopefuls! These kids have been skiing, snow | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
boarding and doing other winter sports from a really young age. | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
is, like, fun and quick and you get quite a rush. Even if I hurt myself, | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
I cannot wait to get back on again. These guys are training hard and | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
pulling out all the stops so that in the 2014 games Team GB brings | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
back a lot more gold. Finally - to a strange bright light | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
caught on camera. Footage of a fireball flashing over the night | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
sky in Texas, America have got space experts excited. The camera | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
picked up the flash which they believe is a meteor entering the | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
Earth's atmosphere and then burning up. NASA managed to track fragments | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
of the meteor, which landed in North Houston. Amazing! | :08:26. | :08:35. | |
Before we go, back to those history questions from earlier. | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
Queen Elizabeth I had just four baths a year. First World War | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
soldiers used wee to soften their boots. And Horatio Nelson, | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
Britain's greatest sailor, suffered from sea-sickness! | :08:47. | :08:56. |
