First, Can you imagine not having any brothers and sisters | :00:15. | :00:30. | |
wasn't allowed in the country where you live? | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
Well, that's what life has been like in China for the past 40 | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
All these schoolkids in China have something pretty big in common, | :00:38. | :00:48. | |
But for some of them that might change soon. | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
For the past 40 years the Chinese government has only allowed couples | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
They made the decision because the number of people living | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
in the country was growing too quickly and families were having | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
Because the country was poor back then the government was worried | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
they would not be enough food to go around. | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
But on New Year's Day this year the law changed. | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
Families are now allowed to have a second baby | :01:16. | :01:17. | |

TRANSLATION: There are three people in my family. | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
I am a so-called one child in the family. | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
Most of my friends and classmates around me are like me. | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
They are the only child in their families. | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
I feel pretty good to be the only child in the family. | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
But personally I would like to have a brother. | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
The government changed the law because there are a lot of elderly | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
people in China and they are worried there will not be enough younger | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
Now lots of mums and dads are thinking about having | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
Because me and my husband were single kids in the family | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
we want our kids to have the experience of having a brother | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
So many children in China might have a brother or sister to share | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
And you can watch Brothers and Sisters, a Newsround | :02:19. | :02:23. | |

It's something that's really got you talking online. | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
Every year, millions of tonnes of fresh veg never make it | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
on to the shelves, but a trial by one supermarket found | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
lots of customers are happy to buy curved vegetables. | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
Lots of you have been telling us what you think online. | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
Fiona from Whiston hates wonky vegetables because how would people | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
Neeya from south-east Wales says: Of course it's silly | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
Aaron from Birmingham says no because most people might think | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
Thanks for all of those, they're great. | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
Well, a new high-tech CBBC programme called Airmageddon sees children go | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
head to head putting their flying skills to the test. | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
Rachel Stringer is one of the show's presenters and with us now. | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
I cannot wait to see this. It is so exciting. It is so cool. It is a | :03:26. | :03:37. | |
game show and each episode sees four teams consisting of an aviator and a | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
wing man. They go head to head in challengers and the first one is an | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
assault course. The second one is a skills base and they might have a | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
magnet to navigate around the arena. The third one is two teams going | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
head to head with lasers and lives and battling it out. | :04:00. | :04:07. | |
All of the drones at the same, but they get to look different. They | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
could design their own drones. This time they have to make the drone | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
kit. We have a dolphin and a Scottie dog. You home with you. What did you | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
do with it? I took it home and at the weekend I became an expert. Are | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
they dangerous? Have they had crashes in the studio? Like anything | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
that is fast-paced, you have to control it. Some of them had | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
crashes, but they were really safe. The crew and everybody was | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
protected. It is on this Saturday at 825 in the morning. We are back | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
tomorrow morning. | :04:59. | :05:01. |
