Afternoon Newsrounders, it's the end of the week and have we got

:00:21.:00:26.

that Friday feeling? Well, I know you have Joe and I don't blame you

:00:26.:00:29.

with the show we've got ahead! Here's what's coming up... We'll

:00:29.:00:32.

tell you about the 10-year-old with his name written in the stars!

:00:32.:00:38.

why Cher's lost her swagger with Cheryl. First to the news that's

:00:38.:00:42.

got all of you talking. Putting on your England strip might seem like

:00:42.:00:46.

the best way to support the team when Euro 2012 kicks off in a few

:00:46.:00:51.

months. But if you want to be kitted out in the latest version

:00:51.:00:54.

you're going to have dig into the piggy bank because the FA have

:00:54.:00:57.

announced they're getting rid of this current one. Even though the

:00:57.:01:01.

team's only worn it a handful of times. It's led to some fans

:01:01.:01:06.

calling them money-grabbing but the FA say they've done nothing wrong.

:01:07.:01:10.

The current England kit, shown off for the very first time. Jermain

:01:10.:01:14.

Defoe celebrating after scoring in the new strip in September 2010.

:01:14.:01:18.

And here it is being worn for the very last time during the team's 1-

:01:18.:01:21.

0 win over Sweden last November. All together it was a strip worn

:01:21.:01:24.

for just eight games. And that's left some footy fans less than

:01:24.:01:31.

impressed. I don't think it is necessary. It is a waste of money.

:01:31.:01:37.

It is a New Year, a fresh start. is a waste of time and money when

:01:37.:01:40.

parents have worked for ages, they got wages and they have bought kids

:01:40.:01:45.

kits. It's a waste of money. A new start, new manager, but a waste of

:01:45.:01:50.

money. The Football Association say changing the kit was always on the

:01:50.:01:54.

cards when they signed a new eight year deal with Umbro, the sponsor,

:01:54.:01:57.

just after the last World Cup. They made it clear that kits would be

:01:57.:02:00.

changed every 18 months rather than the old arrangement where a new

:02:00.:02:04.

strip only came in every two years, in time for a major championship.

:02:04.:02:08.

To be fair to the FA the England kit isn't changed as often as most

:02:08.:02:12.

Premier League teams. Here at Man City and across the country strips

:02:12.:02:20.

are changed at the start of every new season. But the difference is

:02:20.:02:24.

fans get at least 38 games to enjoy their club's kit, not just eight.

:02:24.:02:27.

And The FA insist any money generated from the sale of official

:02:27.:02:31.

England gear is reinvested in the game. England does have a long and

:02:31.:02:41.
:02:41.:02:53.

history of trying out different kits. Since 1966 when England won

:02:53.:02:56.

their first and only World Cup, they've had 30 changes. Some more

:02:56.:02:59.

memorable than others. But the one England kit that's sticking around

:02:59.:03:02.

for a while is the blue away strip, that's not being replaced until

:03:02.:03:06.

2013. All eyes will be on England's friendly against the Netherlands in

:03:06.:03:11.

two weeks when the brand new kit will be shown off. Then we'll all

:03:11.:03:15.

be able to judge once and for all whether the change really was worth

:03:15.:03:25.
:03:25.:03:39.

it. And we've been getting plenty , Well, speaking of English

:03:39.:03:42.

football, the team still needs a manager and Tottenham boss Harry

:03:42.:03:46.

Redknapp's says he reckons someone could take charge. And manage a

:03:46.:03:54.

Premier League team at the same time. Harry's the hot favourite for

:03:54.:03:57.

the job, and now on of the world's most famous footballers has backed

:03:57.:04:01.

him to become the main man. Harry is a great man, great manager, his

:04:01.:04:05.

management is incredible. I know players who have played under him,

:04:05.:04:09.

I have trained under him and he is not just a great manager but a

:04:09.:04:18.

great person as well. Now to Libya, where it's exactly one year since

:04:18.:04:21.

the start of the protests that eventually got rid of the leader,

:04:21.:04:24.

Colonel Gaddafi. Celebrations have been taking place in towns and

:04:24.:04:27.

cities across the country. Gaddafi ruled the country for 40 years but

:04:27.:04:30.

turned on his own people when they tried to replace him. Libya's a

:04:30.:04:34.

long way off being stable though, with rebel groups still on the

:04:34.:04:36.

streets and fighting continuing in some places. Now yesterday we

:04:36.:04:41.

promised you a space exclusive. we've not let you down. There are

:04:41.:04:44.

thousands of satellites out there in the Universe but there's not

:04:44.:04:47.

many that are named after kids your age. But that's all changed today

:04:47.:04:50.

with the announcement that the very latest space probe's got the same

:04:50.:04:57.

name as school boy from London. Intrigued? Watch this...

:04:57.:05:00.

This is Patrick, and he's fulfilling every kid's dream -

:05:00.:05:03.

having a sneak preview of the very latest space satellite before it

:05:03.:05:06.

gets fired into orbit. But it gets better... The satellite in question

:05:06.:05:09.

is named after him! He was the lucky winner of a nationwide

:05:09.:05:12.

competition after sending in this picture of what the new space kit

:05:12.:05:17.

could look like. "The Patrick" will be one of 26 satellites that make

:05:17.:05:22.

up the most accurate GPS system around. That's the system that

:05:22.:05:28.

controls your mobile phone and your mum and dad's sat nav in their car.

:05:28.:05:31.

I have always been interested in space, it is amazing, it fascinates

:05:31.:05:36.

me because nobody knows what is out there. It will make an mystery for

:05:36.:05:44.

a long time. -- it will remain. of the satellites are being built

:05:44.:05:47.

right here. But before Patrick goes inside, he's got to get kitted out

:05:47.:05:50.

because just a single hair, or speck of dust, could break the

:05:50.:05:53.

satellite's high-tech computers before they even get into orbit. At

:05:53.:05:57.

the moment all the GPS signals to our cars and phones are supplied by

:05:57.:05:59.

American satellites, but the Galileo system will be run from

:05:59.:06:09.

Europe and therefore be much more accurate. You might be able to

:06:09.:06:13.

locate yourself with normal GPS in your garden, but with Galileo you

:06:13.:06:20.

could tell which part of a room you are in. To make sure they're

:06:20.:06:22.

perfect, scientists have to work in clean, temperature controlled rooms

:06:22.:06:26.

to build the space crafts' parts, before sending them off to other

:06:26.:06:29.

countries like Russia to be blasted in to space. The rest of the

:06:29.:06:32.

satellites will each be launched every three months, until all 26

:06:32.:06:35.

are in orbit. But today it's all about the Patrick.

:06:35.:06:40.

Funky music. The bout was called. Staying with music... Next, she

:06:41.:06:44.

might have the old swagger jagger but pop star Cher Lloyd's had to

:06:44.:06:47.

say a big sorry to her X Factor mentor Cheryl Cole. Cher upset

:06:47.:06:51.

Chezza earlier this week when she said she couldn't sing in tune. But

:06:51.:06:55.

Cher's now apologised and said she would love it if the two of them

:06:55.:06:57.

could perform live together. what accent do you reckon goats

:06:58.:07:07.
:07:08.:07:16.

talk in? Baa-mingham?! Scientists have been listening to the little

:07:16.:07:19.

bleeters and reckon they change their sound depending on where they
