Hello, you're Live at 5.00pm with Newsround. | :00:18. | :00:25. | |
I'm Leah and he's Ore. We've packed in the stories for you | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
this afternoon, including some of this. | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
The Discovery Space Shuttle hitches a lift to its new home. | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
Nel finds out why you shouldn't always rescue a rabbit. | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
First up, every time we turn on the TV or make a cup of tea we're using | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
energy. Scientists say we need to find more | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
of it to keep the country running smoothly. | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
One option lies deep under ground. It's called methane gas, but | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
getting it out isn't easy. When one company tried last year, | :00:55. | :01:02. | |
the result was an earthquake. Nel's been digging out the story. | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Here in Britain we import most of our gas from other countries. | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
But a new technique could soon give us access to a big new supply of | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
our own. It's called "fracking". | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
Methane gas is trapped in small pockets of rock called shale, which | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
can be found deep under the ground. Fracking gets it out by drilling | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
into the rock and flushing water down, cracking it open and | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
releasing the gas. No-one knows how much gas is down | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
there, but it's thought it could last decades. | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
Seems straight forward, right? But when fracking was tried in | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
Lancashire last year it caused two small earthquakes with a magnitude | :01:40. | :01:50. | |
:01:50. | :01:53. | ||
of 2.3. Xerts now think it's safe to continue. Will it cause damage | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
to buildings? No, they won't. They are never likely to get more than | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
magnitude 3. That is how strong the rock is. It's not just in the UK | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
that people are debating about whether frack something safe. In | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
America some people claim the process has led to gas leaking into | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
their water supplies making their water flammable and poisonious. Is | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
there a worry that the gas and liquid might get into our water | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
supply? It's important to consider all of these things. Protecting our | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
water is of importance. It's unlikely the gas will. The water | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
shouldn't as long as we have the well properly constructed. It needs | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
careful control of that house keeping at the surface. Finding | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
cheep new sources of energy is important, using methane gas | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
damages the environment. The Government wants to make sure it's | :02:48. | :02:58. | |
:02:58. | :03:00. | ||
not paying too high a price. It's made 39 trips into space, but | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
today NASA's oldest space shuttle needed a piggy back ride to get to | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
its new home. The Discovery shuttle hitched a | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
lift on top of a jumbo jet to make the journey from the Kennedy Space | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
Centre to a museum in Virginia where it will go on permanent | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
display to the public. Next up, look away now if you don't | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
have a head for heights. This is the view from the top of | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
the Tokyo Skytree, the world's tallest tower. | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
The Japanese skyscraper is 634 meters tall. | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
It was built to broadcast TV signals and you get a pretty | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
amazing view from the top, but probably best not to look down! | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
Now, have you ever sung in front of the mirror with your hairbrush, | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
dreaming of popstardom and performing to thousands? You have? | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
Becoming a teenage popstar might sound like a dream come true, but | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
it isn't always all plain sailing. American singer, Demi Lovato, has | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
been talking about the pressures faced by teenage stars. | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
Justin Bieber found global fame after being discovered aged 13. | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Pixie Lott kicked off her music career when she was 12. | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
And Willow Smith was just nine when she bagged her record deal. | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
But becoming a global superstar while you're still at school isn't | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
always as glamorous as it seems. Demi Lovato, teen star of Camp Rock, | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
suffered from eating disorders and had to take time out after having a | :04:12. | :04:21. | |
breakdown. I had really, really long days. Sometimes I worked 15 | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
hours, 15-hour days. I was exhausted. I knew I couldn't go on | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
with the lifestyle I was living that something had to change. I | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
just didn't know what it was going to take for me to realise that. | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
Here in the UK, you can work in entertainment if you're under 16, | :04:39. | :04:49. | |
but you need a special licence to show your school is OK about it. | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
There's a limit of the number of hours you can work. What pressures | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
are you under? You are under pressure 24/7. To be on show. You | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
don't switch off from fame at 5.00pm. It carries on. | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
On Britian's Got Talent, contestants can enter at any age. | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
If there's anyone who knows the about the pressures in pop it's | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
Simon Cowell, and he's got his own theory of how best to protect | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
potential young stars. I think it's the mums. You have to check out the | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
mums. If you have the mother shoving them on from the side, I | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
have a problem with that. Most of them, to be honest with you, have | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
the time of their lives. If I feel they can't cope with it, I cut them. | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
Demi doesn't think she was too young to be in the business and | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
she's learnt how to handle fame. She reckons that with good people | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
around you and boundaries on the amount of work you do, you can | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
enjoy life in the spotlight. Spring has spung. The countryside is full | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
of bauby animals. The RSPCA is warning that too many newborn | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
bunnies are ending up in its rescue centres. People are handing them in | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
because they think they have been abandoned. Nel has been fiending | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
out why sometimes it's best to leave a bunny alone. If you were to | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
find a kitten and thought they were abandoned, the best thing to do is | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
to hand them to the RSPCA who will home nem one of their specialist | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
centres. That isn't the case with these lot. 65 wild baby rabbits | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
have been handed into the RSPCA by people who think they have been | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
abandoned by their mothers. The people who woork here think this is | :06:25. | :06:34. | |
far too much. Why are so many being brought out to you at the centre? | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
People think they are abandoned. Mums are around the corner. It's | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
not to pick them up. The bunnies are pretty tough. If baby rabbits | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
are handed in, they end up living in captivity, which is bad news. | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
Wild rabbits don't do well in captivity. They stress quickly, | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
which affects the way they feed. It's very difficult for our staff | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
to look after them. What should someone do if they find a nest? | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
should think twice. Look at the situation. See if mum is around. If | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
mum is not around and you are still concerned, call for some advice | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
from the RSPCA or your local rehabilitator and they will advise | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
what you to do. Although it's tempting, unless you are sure they | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
need your help, it's best to let nature take its course. They are | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
super cute! Too right. Most of you think about your tea right now. How | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
about this for your breakfast? Students in Sussex have been | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
printing images of the Queen's face on to bread before popping it in | :07:43. | :07:48. |
