Hello, I'm Hayley with all the latest

from around the world this morning, coming up in the next few minutes.

The Dino-dynamic beast that lives on both sea and land.

And the cute lions cubs make their first public appearance.

Let's start with the very latest stop on Newsround's

It's just six days until people there vote on whether the country

should become independent from the rest of the UK.

Ayshah has been there getting a sense of the mood,

Hello, Hayley. Well, everyone in Scotland is talking about the future

of their country, none more so than yesterday, when thousands of

teenagers came to Glasgow to talk about some of the big questions that

they had about Scottish independence. I spoke to people who

wanted Scotland to be independent, as well as those who wanted it to

remain part of the UK. The debate was a big deal, and all eyes were on

some of the youngest voters. A quick selfie on a very long

journey. These guys are travelling almost 200 miles to Glasgow. They,

along with more than 7000 other teenagers, are taking part in a

massive debate on the future of Scotland. The big question - whether

Scotland should go independent or stay part of the UK. I think it will

be a good experience, finding out what the country would be like if it

went independent. I am currently undecided. I am pretty sure I will

vote yes, but I can still change. This is where everyone is gathered,

this massive arena in the city centre. Where are you from?

Aberdeen. It took us three hours on the bus. This debate is a big deal

for these 16-year-olds and 17-year-olds, who will be getting to

vote for the first time. There is a bit of a party atmosphere. What are

you voting? Yes. Why? I just think that we are able to cope and I do

not see why we should stay somewhere where we are not happy. What about

you? Definitely no. Because I just do not think it will work out. I am

thinking, I am undecided. You can see how many kids are here. There

are thousands. The last ones are piling in, taking their seats. Soon,

it is down to the serious stuff. How would independence affect job

opportunities? Why risk everything? It is not whether we should be

risking it, it is whether we should settle for that. We will have

challenges as a country, but we will have control of our own resources.

We have huge control over health, education and everything, but we

stand together with other people, too. So, did the debate to change

anyone's mind? I am staying with yes. I am still a no vote. I was

undecided but now I will be voting yes. I feel we would be better off

by ourselves. The no dancers were much better thought out, so it made

me more confident in my choice. I am sticking with no. I am still voting

yes. Will you still be friends after this? I hope so! I think there will

be some tension but we will work it out. Well, I hope they will still be

friends, but there are a lot of tense conversations going on at the

moment. Newsround will be on the road next week, visiting Stirling,

Edinburgh and Aberdeen. Also, the big day is getting closer to it is

next Thursday, 18th of September, and we will have all of the latest.

Make sure you do not miss it. Next to South Africa, where

in the next few hours, one of the world's most famous athletes will

find out if he's going to jail. Millions of people around

the world have been watching the He was accused

of murdering his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, in February last

year but yesterday the judge decided The trial is not over though,

because he could still be found guilty of doing it

by accident today. And if that happens, he could

go to prison for a long time. And remember, there's help

and advice on the Newsround website In other news - scientists say

a giant fossil found in the Sahara desert in Africa confirms that some

dinosaurs could swim. The 95 million-year-old skeleton

belonged to a dinosaur called Spinosaurus and scientists studying

the ancient fossil believe it would have been happier splashing around

in water than walking on land. Other ancient creatures did live

in the water, but they were marine That makes Spinosaurus the

only-known semi-aquatic dinosaur. Finally, the cutest little lion

cubs you'll see this week. This was the scene

at San Diego zoo in America when the four cubs were shown off to

the public for the first time. To the delight of visitors, the cubs

provided lots of photo opportunities The one male

and two females were born in June. But this is the first time they have

been allowed out of their den. Keepers tell them apart by shaving

a small patern in their fur.
