Hello!

0:00:020:00:03

I'm Jenny, live with this morning's top stories.

0:00:030:00:05

Coming up: Kids question A-list film star Angelina Jolie-Pitt.

0:00:050:00:12

And Foxes fans celebrate the end of their fairy tale season.

0:00:120:00:21

First, a group of Newsround viewers have been

0:00:260:00:28

questioning a top film star.

0:00:280:00:29

But not about her movies.

0:00:290:00:31

Here's Ricky.

0:00:310:00:39

She's one of the world's most famous actresses.

0:00:390:00:41

Well, well.

0:00:410:00:42

But when she is not walking the red carpet at

0:00:420:00:45

movie premiers, Angelina Jolie-Pitt is busy with a very different

0:00:450:00:47

kind of job.

0:00:470:00:49

Does she remember Syria?

0:00:490:00:51

She also works for the United Nations, campaigning about the

0:00:510:00:54

growing refugee and migrant crisis caused by war in places like Syria.

0:00:540:01:00

Millions of people have been forced to leave their homes

0:01:000:01:03

to escape the fighting.

0:01:030:01:06

Many want to come to Europe to countries like Germany and

0:01:060:01:10

here in the UK to find a safer life for themselves and their children.

0:01:100:01:13

But some people don't want that, they think there are too many

0:01:130:01:16

migrants and refugees arriving in their countries.

0:01:160:01:20

Governments can't decide on the best way to deal with

0:01:200:01:24

this situation but as refugee camps on the Syrian border get more

0:01:240:01:28

crowded, there is still no end in sight to the crisis.

0:01:280:01:31

Earlier this year, Angelina travelled to a

0:01:310:01:33

refugee camp in Lebanon to meet some of the children who left their homes

0:01:330:01:36

in Syria behind.

0:01:360:01:41

And now she is in London at the BBC and I'm with a

0:01:410:01:44

group of Newsround viewers who've got some questions for her.

0:01:440:01:47

So we will start with Maram, what is your

0:01:470:01:49

question for Angelina?

0:01:490:01:50

So as we all know, you have visited many refugee

0:01:500:01:53

camps over the years.

0:01:530:01:55

Can you tell us what life is like in these camps?

0:01:550:01:58

The thing that I think would shock you the most is that now the average

0:01:580:02:02

day in a refugee camp is about 20 years.

0:02:020:02:04

So that means if you were

0:02:040:02:06

born in a refugee camp, your whole childhood is in a camp.

0:02:060:02:11

It is on borrowed land and you get your food

0:02:110:02:14

once a month and you only get what they give you,

0:02:140:02:17

you don't get special spices, the little things that make

0:02:170:02:19

it personal, like when your mum cooks at home and stuff like that.

0:02:190:02:22

And sometimes you have school, a lot of times there aren't funds for

0:02:220:02:26

school, especially secondary so your education is very limited.

0:02:260:02:31

You have a question, haven't you?

0:02:310:02:32

My question is held does migration affect us all

0:02:320:02:34

in terms of schools and hospitals being full?

0:02:340:02:39

Well, I think, of course when there's an

0:02:390:02:42

influx of people it does, it will always effect schools and

0:02:420:02:46

hospitals.

0:02:460:02:48

But they tend to find that if, you know, they hope the

0:02:480:02:51

war will not go on forever, it will be first few years

0:02:510:02:54

and for those few years they are going to have to be

0:02:540:02:57

very, very generous.

0:02:570:02:58

You learn to share and learn how to help someone

0:02:580:03:02

when they are in a situation where they could die if they were sent

0:03:020:03:06

home.

0:03:060:03:07

We have spoken to some kids in the past, especially in the

0:03:070:03:10

last 12 months where they said that perhaps in their area they think

0:03:100:03:13

that Britain is full or potentially their parents might

0:03:130:03:15

struggle to find a job.

0:03:150:03:16

Do you think they have the right to be worried?

0:03:160:03:20

Well, I think, I think with or without migration, a

0:03:200:03:24

lot of countries feel that way.

0:03:240:03:27

Bringing in refugees, do you think that

0:03:270:03:30

could be kind of adding to the problem a little bit?

0:03:300:03:33

I am somebody who believes that immigration can

0:03:330:03:37

make a country stronger and look at the diversity sitting

0:03:370:03:39

on this bench, right?

0:03:390:03:42

How boring would it be if everybody was exactly the same from

0:03:420:03:45

the same country?

0:03:450:03:46

So diversity is a wonderful thing.

0:03:460:03:48

How are we going so far, guys?

0:03:480:03:49

The nerves have gone?

0:03:490:03:50

Yes.

0:03:500:03:51

We are feeling good?

0:03:510:03:52

I'm terrible.

0:03:520:03:54

You are still nervous.

0:03:540:03:55

What's your question?

0:03:550:03:56

You are less selfish than other celebrities.

0:03:560:04:02

What makes you focus more time on

0:04:020:04:05

refugees than yourself?

0:04:050:04:08

When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I

0:04:080:04:11

am is a mum and that's the greatest thing for me in the world and then

0:04:110:04:21

I'm just a person who lives in this world and wants to do some good, I

0:04:220:04:26

hope, before it's over so that's me.

0:04:260:04:27

Great question.

0:04:270:04:28

How do explain what's going on right now to your

0:04:280:04:30

children?

0:04:300:04:32

Because they obviously live very different lives to the

0:04:320:04:34

children in the refugee camps.

0:04:340:04:35

My kids have been...

0:04:350:04:36

I mean, my kids are maybe more aware

0:04:360:04:38

because we don't live in, you know...

0:04:380:04:41

We live in Hollywood but we also travel around the world a lot when

0:04:410:04:44

we work and they read a lot about it

0:04:440:04:47

so they want to know, so when mummy goes somewhere,

0:04:470:04:49

they kind of read a little bit about it and when I brought Shiloh

0:04:490:04:53

with me to Lebanon, she brought this kind of circus stick and for all my

0:04:530:04:57

talking and for my everything, all the kids just wanted to go out and

0:04:570:05:00

play with the circus stick so kids connect much faster than us adults.

0:05:000:05:08

It's the football fairy tale that everyone's been talking about -

0:05:080:05:11

Leicester winning the Premier League.

0:05:110:05:12

Fans have been celebrating through the night, as a victory

0:05:120:05:15

parade brought the city to a standstill, and more

0:05:150:05:17

than 240,000 people cheered on their heroes.

0:05:170:05:22

It probably won't ever happen again.

0:05:220:05:28

I'm just happy that Leicester have won.

0:05:280:05:29

Everyone is singing and

0:05:290:05:30

chanting and it's just like a great atmosphere.

0:05:300:05:34

Finally, this is the world's largest plane and it touched down

0:05:340:05:36

in Australia for the first time ever on Sunday.

0:05:360:05:39

It's 84 metres-long and weighs a whopping 175 five tonnes.

0:05:390:05:45

It's 84 metres-long and weighs a whopping 175 tonnes.

0:05:450:05:48

All from the team, Newsround's back this afternoon at 4.20.

0:05:480:05:51

Have a brilliant day!
