Good morning. You're live with CBBC this Wednesday morning. Leah here

:00:07.:00:11.

with today's top stories, including...

:00:12.:00:20.

We take a look at snaps of the blood moon seen over Britain.

:00:21.:00:23.

Why top diver Tom's trying to get more of you to take up the sport.

:00:24.:00:39.

This is Newsround. Church leaders have called on

:00:40.:00:42.

politicians to do more to prevent people in Britain from going hungry.

:00:43.:00:45.

It is in response to the latest figures from the Trussell Trust - a

:00:46.:00:49.

charity that supplies emergency food parcels to people who can't afford

:00:50.:00:52.

their own shopping. The Trust say the number of parcels they've handed

:00:53.:00:56.

out has doubled in the last year. The government say it's not clear

:00:57.:00:59.

how many went to new people and how many were for repeat visitors.

:01:00.:01:04.

The number of people admitted to hospital who are malnourished has

:01:05.:01:09.

doubled in the last two years. And here we are, the seventh wealthiest

:01:10.:01:17.

country in the world. Next, Russian President Vladimir

:01:18.:01:20.

Putin has warned that Ukraine is on the brink of civil war. It is after

:01:21.:01:23.

Ukrainian forces fought back against armed groups claiming to support

:01:24.:01:27.

Russia in the east of the country. Similar pro-Russian groups have

:01:28.:01:29.

taken control of buildings in ten towns and cities in recent days but

:01:30.:01:33.

this is the first time Ukraine has fought back. Tensions are rising

:01:34.:01:36.

ahead of international talks about what to do next. But Britain's

:01:37.:01:40.

Foreign Secretary says it is up to Russia to stop causing problems.

:01:41.:01:49.

In recent days, Russia has deliberately pushed Ukraine to the

:01:50.:01:55.

brink. And created a still greater risk of violent confrontation. We

:01:56.:01:58.

call on Russia to stop these actions. And to condemn the lawless

:01:59.:02:04.

acts in eastern Ukraine. And you can find out loads more

:02:05.:02:08.

about the background to what's happening in Ukraine on the

:02:09.:02:12.

Newsround website right now. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge,

:02:13.:02:15.

along with Prince George have arrived in Australia for a busy ten

:02:16.:02:21.

day visit to the country. They touched down in Australia a few

:02:22.:02:29.

hours ago as part of a ten day tour. The royal couple spent time meeting

:02:30.:02:32.

well wishers at the Sydney Opera House. Prince William joked that

:02:33.:02:35.

Prince George's first word could be either Koala or billbee which is an

:02:36.:02:38.

australian desert mouse. They'll travel to the capital Canberra and

:02:39.:02:42.

the Blue Mountains as part of the tour.

:02:43.:02:49.

Now, plunging into a pool from the height of two double decker buses

:02:50.:02:52.

might not be something at the top of your to do list. But, Olympic star

:02:53.:02:56.

Tom Daley has made a career out of it - and now he's starting a new

:02:57.:03:00.

scheme to try and more kids around the UK to give it a go. We sent Nel

:03:01.:03:05.

to the his first training session as a coach.

:03:06.:03:08.

This is what you have worked for for a whole decade. Diving is a scary

:03:09.:03:11.

sport. I always get nervous. Good luck, Tom. The country is behind

:03:12.:03:18.

you. You have to learn to live with it and rise to the occasion. The

:03:19.:03:22.

crowd are on their feet. Tom Daley has done all he can. If you enjoy

:03:23.:03:26.

water parks, diving is the closest thing. You get to play in the water

:03:27.:03:29.

all day and do tumbles, turns, somersaults and twists. It is fun

:03:30.:03:39.

and a great way to meet new friends. Listen to that noise! It is all for

:03:40.:03:43.

you, Tom Daley. Every single scream and shout. In the past, diving was a

:03:44.:03:52.

sport that people didn't know about. But now they do because of the

:03:53.:03:55.

Olympics, and there is this great facility and it is on TV with

:03:56.:04:00.

Splash! I wanted to try it when I saw Tom Daley. It can be scary, but

:04:01.:04:13.

I want it to conquer my fear. It is great to do this when Tom Daley is

:04:14.:04:19.

around. At the moment, this scheme is only available to those in

:04:20.:04:22.

London, but it is hoped that it will soon be rolled out across the UK.

:04:23.:04:43.

Then it can inspire the next generation of Olympic divers.

:04:44.:04:49.

And finally to some amazing pictures of yesterday's total lunar eclipse,

:04:50.:04:52.

It turned the moon red in America but these are some of the

:04:53.:04:55.

spectacular images captured by lots of amateur astrologists in the UK.

:04:56.:04:59.

They took their own snaps of the so called blood moon. The spectacular

:05:00.:05:01.

sight happens when the
