Hi, I'm Martin with your morning Newsround. On today's show, hold | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
onto your breakfast, cos we've got some seriously creepy crawlies, as a | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
TV doctor infests himself with a bunch of parasites. | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
And pictures of a super-rare baby giraffe, thought to be the first of | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
its kind born in the UK. This is Newsround. | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
First, we're going to Ukraine in eastern Europe, where violent | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
clashes have been going on overnight in the capital Kiev between police | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
and anti-government protesters. Riot police have been firing explosives, | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
trying to evict people from the main protest camp, which has been in | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
place since unrest began nearly three months ago. But protesters | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
have been fighting back against the police - at least 25 people have | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
died in this latest violence. The crisis started over whether Ukraine | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
should have closer ties with the European Union or with Russia. | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
Now, remember last summer, the hottest for many years? No, seems | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
ages ago to me too. But new research out today suggests that last year's | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
good weather was good news for Britain's farmland butterflies. The | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
Wider Countryside Butterfly Survey recorded almost double the number of | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
insects compared with 2012. The report says that sunny weather | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
provided perfect breeding conditions for butterflies. | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
Well, today is one of the biggest dates in the calendar for British | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
music, the BRIT Awards. Loads of big stars from the world of pop will be | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
at London O2's Arena, hoping to bag a Brit. The likes of Ellie Goulding, | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
Jessie J, Rudimental and Lorde are just some of those battling it out. | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
And this afternoon, our very own Ayshah will be down live on the red | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
carpet bringing you all the latest. Next, if you've not had your | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
breakfast this morning then I suggest you look away now, because | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
we're about to ramp up the yuk factor! This is Dr Michael Mosley, a | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
man prepared to put his body through almost anything, all in the name of | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
science. In a new BBC documentary, he infests himself with a bunch of | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
gruesome parasites to see how they affect the human body. Jenny has | :02:09. | :02:17. | |
this one. Bloodsucking leeches, stomach | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
turning tapeworms and infectious head lice. Not the sort of thing you | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
would choose to have wriggling around your body if you could help | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
it. Unless you are this Doctor! I had to go with various different | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
parasites. I started off with tapeworm. It was a little bit | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
disgusting, I have to say. They were like jelly babies but not very | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
sweet. Then I swallowed this camera with a glass of water. It sends | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
pictures to a transmitter and from there to a screen. So you can | :02:55. | :03:03. | |
actually see your stomach live. That is it! That is the tapeworm. You can | :03:04. | :03:12. | |
see it. God, that is horrible. Next up, leeches. I basically attached | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
back to my arm and it started to suck. It was actually quite pleasant | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
and it grew about eight times the size it was. It drank quite a lot of | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
blood and then it dropped off. My daughter took my leach and | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
unfortunately it is cake after a few months and was eaten by the cat. | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
Doctor Michael says he is doing this to help scientists at Salford | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
University in their research into parasites and the diseases they | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
spread. So, after that, what did they learn? The message for me is | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
parasites are genius and fascinating. And a little bit | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
disgusting. It was a bad night for Manchester | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
City in the Champions League as they lost 2-0 at home to Barcelona. City | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
had Martin Demichelis sent off for this foul on Lionel Messi. | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
Argentina's genius converted the penalty for Barca's first goal. Dani | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
Alves then picked up the Spanish side's second to give them a | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
valuable lead going into the second-leg. Tonight, Arsenal play | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
Bayern Munich. Winter sports now, and it's a big | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
day in the curling, and an even bigger day for Team GB, with both | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
the men and woman's sides playing for a place in the final. Eve | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
Muirhead and co go up against Canada at 10am, whilst the men's side take | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
on Sweden at three o'clock this afternoon. | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
Last up - to a very rare birth at a zoo in Cumbria in the north west of | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
England... It's thought this is the first West African Giraffe to be | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
born in the UK. It is one of the rarest animals on the planet, with | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
only a few in captivity, and just a few hundred in the wild. | :04:57. | :05:00. |
