Afternoon, all, I'm Ayshah with Thursday's stories.

0:00:100:00:13

First up, it's one of the biggest games in the world -

0:00:130:00:16

millions of people are playing it and today, the mobile game

0:00:160:00:19

Pokemon Go has been released in the UK.

0:00:200:00:23

It's a game for smartphones that anyone over the age

0:00:230:00:30

of nine can play.

0:00:300:00:32

Players search the real world to find Pokemon characters

0:00:320:00:34

and capture them.

0:00:340:00:37

But there are safety worries - children's charity NSPCC says

0:00:370:00:40

players need to be careful near roads and to never speak

0:00:400:00:43

to people they don't know.

0:00:430:00:48

And if you want to know more about Pokemon Go

0:00:480:00:50

and how to play it safely, go and check out the guide

0:00:500:00:53

on at Newsround Online and there'll be loads more on Pokemon Go

0:00:530:00:56

on tomorrow's programme.

0:00:560:00:57

Well, it's been the first day at work for our new Prime Minister.

0:00:570:01:00

Theresa May took over from David Cameron last night.

0:01:000:01:02

Here's what happened.

0:01:020:01:03

We will make Britain a country that works not for the privileged few

0:01:030:01:06

but for every one of us.

0:01:060:01:08

That was the moment that Theresa May, the new Prime Minister,

0:01:080:01:10

walked into her new home, 10 Downing Street.

0:01:100:01:12

Mrs May has taken over as Prime Minister from the last

0:01:120:01:15

person in charge, David Cameron.

0:01:150:01:18

He decided to resign after the big vote, when the UK

0:01:180:01:21

decided to leave the EU.

0:01:210:01:24

Now, whenever there's a change of Prime Minister or government,

0:01:240:01:27

the person leaving and the one taking over have do go to see

0:01:270:01:33

the person leaving and the one taking over have to go to see

0:01:330:01:36

the Queen, so David Cameron, his wife and his children went

0:01:360:01:38

to Buckingham Palace to see Her Majesty and officially

0:01:380:01:41

step down from his job.

0:01:410:01:42

Theresa May was next in to see the Queen

0:01:420:01:44

and that was her big moment.

0:01:440:01:45

She became the new Conservative Prime Minister.

0:01:450:01:52

Mrs May left the Palace and returned to 10 Downing Street.

0:01:520:01:55

She will start work as only the UK's second female Prime Minister.

0:01:550:01:58

Her biggest job, sorting out how the UK leads the European Union.

0:01:580:02:01

Her biggest job, sorting out how the UK leaves the European Union.

0:02:010:02:04

Now to something big that's happening beneath

0:02:040:02:05

the streets of London.

0:02:050:02:06

Deep underground, a giant new railway line is being built.

0:02:060:02:09

It's taking 20,000 workers, 100 million hours of work and some

0:02:090:02:12

seriously big machines.

0:02:120:02:15

CBBC's super scientific reporter Fran Scott has been exploring.

0:02:150:02:18

I'm right in the centre of London at Farringdon station.

0:02:190:02:22

And it might look like everything is normal here,

0:02:220:02:25

but, beneath my feet,

0:02:250:02:27

the biggest building project in Europe

0:02:270:02:30

is going on - deep underground.

0:02:300:02:33

Welcome to the Elizabeth Line.

0:02:340:02:36

The massive project to build this new train line for London

0:02:360:02:39

started in 2009.

0:02:390:02:40

And in the summer of 2012,

0:02:400:02:42

while London was hosting the Olympics,

0:02:420:02:44

massive machines started digging.

0:02:440:02:46

It has taken well over 20,000 workers

0:02:460:02:49

over 100 million hours of work,

0:02:490:02:52

and they've had to move millions of tonnes of mud

0:02:520:02:54

from the 42 kilometre route.

0:02:540:02:57

The digging finally finished right here, where the tunnelling machine

0:02:570:02:59

called Victoria broke through to reach this -

0:02:590:03:03

what will become the new Farringdon underground station.

0:03:030:03:08

Now, they're working on getting seven new stations ready to open

0:03:080:03:10

in about 2018.

0:03:100:03:17

So, how do you go from this...to this?

0:03:170:03:22

It's best to ask an expert.

0:03:220:03:23

Chloe is one of many engineers working to make that happen.

0:03:230:03:26

So, an essential part of any railway is the actual track.

0:03:260:03:28

We're going to lay ours right here where we are walking.

0:03:280:03:32

So we won't be able to walk here in the future?

0:03:320:03:35

No - trains will be running through this tunnel,

0:03:350:03:38

picking up passengers and taking them to their destinations.

0:03:380:03:44

Chloe, this looks incredible. What is it?

0:03:440:03:47

This is a temporary shaft, it won't be part of

0:03:470:03:51

the permanent works.

0:03:510:03:53

We use them during construction to bring materials in and out

0:03:530:03:55

quickly and safely.

0:03:550:03:56

You just crane them in?

0:03:560:03:57

Yeah, pretty much.

0:03:570:03:59

That's brilliant!

0:03:590:04:00

This is one of our escalator tunnels here at Farringdon.

0:04:000:04:02

What you can see now is the final concrete lining being put on top

0:04:020:04:05

of the orange waterproofing.

0:04:050:04:08

Right.

0:04:080:04:08

This will eventually be one of the access points into the tunnel.

0:04:080:04:12

There are lots of parts that make up a working station,

0:04:120:04:15

but this one will not be ready for us to use for another 2-3 years.

0:04:150:04:20

Which is a good job because there are still lots to do.

0:04:200:04:25

Which is a good job because there is still lots to do.

0:04:250:04:27

So I better leave them to it!

0:04:270:04:29

Last up today, some people in Colorado in America are used

0:04:290:04:32

to seeing grizzly bears - but not like this.

0:04:320:04:34

Somehow, this bear managed to lock itself in a car,

0:04:340:04:36

despite not breaking any windows.

0:04:360:04:39

Don't worry, though, the bear was unharmed,

0:04:390:04:41

but the car was a bit of a mess.

0:04:410:04:44

That's all from me but it's a big day tomorrow for Tim Peake fans -

0:04:440:04:53

you'll be able to hear from him right here on Newsround

0:04:530:04:55

all morning.

0:04:550:04:56

Don't miss it!
