Join us tomorrow at 7:45am, we will be joined by Kelly Ann.

:00:00.:00:00.

Good morning. It's Friday, 11th April your live with me Nel taking

:00:00.:00:07.

you into the weekend with a bit of this!

:00:08.:00:10.

How the wild winter has led to calls for us to do more to protect people

:00:11.:00:14.

on UK Coastlines. Plus the turtle with the fake fin.

:00:15.:00:18.

You've got to keep watching Newsround!

:00:19.:00:25.

First to a big debate about keeping killer whales in captivity. A group

:00:26.:00:29.

of school girls have been involved in a campaign to stop the whales

:00:30.:00:33.

being used in performances at their local Sea World Park in San Diego in

:00:34.:00:37.

America. It has been supported by millions of people, but those who

:00:38.:00:40.

work with the mammals insist keeping some away from their natural

:00:41.:00:48.

environment is vital. Here's Ayshah. Killer whales are found in every

:00:49.:00:52.

ocean on the planet. It brought 50 to 100,000 -- it is

:00:53.:00:59.

thought 50 to 100,000 live in the wild.

:01:00.:01:03.

Sea World own 29, but are facing criticism over their use of killer

:01:04.:01:08.

whales in shows. These girls delivered over one million signature

:01:09.:01:17.

supporting a ban, and campaigned to have their trip to Sea World

:01:18.:01:21.

cancelled, but it didn't go down well with all their classmates.

:01:22.:01:29.

He was very mad with me. I said would you rather see whales not

:01:30.:01:34.

being treated right? Or see them in the ocean and go whale watching. The

:01:35.:01:40.

question of whether to ban Sea World from using the killer whales is

:01:41.:01:45.

being debated by lawmakers. They were expected to rule on an all out

:01:46.:01:49.

ban this week, but say they will delay any decision while the

:01:50.:01:52.

evidence is reviewed. Some believe it is cruel to have mammals as large

:01:53.:01:57.

and intelligent as them in captivity and backed the petition. They don't

:01:58.:02:01.

thrive and indeed, they suffer. Simply from being held in

:02:02.:02:05.

confinement. No one is saying that their trainers are cruel to them,

:02:06.:02:08.

their trainers love them, but they don't thrive in captivity. Those who

:02:09.:02:15.

work with Sea World say what they do is vital for education and research.

:02:16.:02:19.

The proposed Bill will cripple our ability to conduct vital research.

:02:20.:02:23.

Much of the research that my colleagues and I conduct is not

:02:24.:02:28.

possible in the wild. Any ruling would affect Sea World in dan Diego

:02:29.:02:34.

and not other parts across America. It will be another year before a

:02:35.:02:35.

decision is made. Australian officials say they're

:02:36.:02:43.

confident that signals heard in the Indian Ocean are coming from the

:02:44.:02:46.

black box of the missing Malaysia Airlines plane. Flight MH370

:02:47.:02:49.

disappeared mid-flight a month ago, something that's extremely rare.

:02:50.:02:54.

Australia has been leading efforts to find the wreckage since then and

:02:55.:02:57.

their Prime Minister says the signals are helping them narrow down

:02:58.:03:03.

the search area. You can find out what a black box is

:03:04.:03:07.

and why it is important in the search on the Newsround website now.

:03:08.:03:12.

There is lots of help and advice if you find anything in the news

:03:13.:03:19.

upsetting. Next the National Trust is calling

:03:20.:03:23.

for a better plan to protect people from coastal erosion after heavy

:03:24.:03:26.

storms and high tides last winter caused major damage to the UK's

:03:27.:03:29.

seaside areas. Across the country several metres of land were filmed

:03:30.:03:32.

falling into the sea. Many people who live in these areas want better

:03:33.:03:35.

flood defences to stop the erosion. But the National Trust say it's

:03:36.:03:39.

safer to move buildings and houses back and let nature take its course.

:03:40.:03:43.

The White Cliffs that we see here today are beautiful because of

:03:44.:03:48.

erosion. If there was noer osion, we would have green slopes running down

:03:49.:03:51.

to the sea. It is the nature of the coast. There was a conservatory

:03:52.:03:57.

standing on site and we were able to remove that part of the building

:03:58.:04:01.

before it fell into the sea. The man behind the latest Spider-Man

:04:02.:04:04.

mask says playing the webbed wonder is something his ten-year-old self

:04:05.:04:07.

could only have dreamed of. The world premiere of the Amazing

:04:08.:04:10.

Spider-Man 2 was held last night in London with 20 other screenings

:04:11.:04:13.

across the UK. And star, Andrew Garfield said he was thrilled to be

:04:14.:04:17.

playing such an iconic character. Wherever you are from and whoever

:04:18.:04:21.

you are, male and female it doesn't matter. He stands for everybody.

:04:22.:04:24.

That's why, I think, he is the greatest.

:04:25.:04:28.

Finally to a turtle with a twist. After getting tangled up in a

:04:29.:04:31.

fishing net and losing his back flippers, Freedom's swimming days

:04:32.:04:34.

were over until carers in Israel gave him a prosthetic fin. It's

:04:35.:04:39.

based on fish fins and strapped to the top of his shell. Freedom is an

:04:40.:04:43.

endangered green turtle. It's hoped his new fin will get him swimming

:04:44.:04:47.

again and bring him out of his shell! Newsround is back right here

:04:48.:04:54.

in about half an hour. See you then.
